Chapter 6

                                                                                                 Will

Later that day we sat in Mike's basement, i was drawing and Mike was playing with some new Star Wars toy he had got.

I open my bag looking for the red crayon that had fell out of the package. After a time of rummaging around i found it. I started on the Dragon's wings and the tail. I suddenly felt Mikes eyes on me, he had left the Star Wars Ship and now sat besides me. I suddenly felt myself blushing.

I really couldn't stop do that when Mike was near me, and i hated it. He was my best friend and we would never be more than that even how much i like him.

" You are really talented Will" Mike said with a slight blush. Was he blushing? No, I'm just imagine things right now. " Oh, really? " I look at him "Yeah! Could you teach me? Pleeeassseeeee" He begged me.

"Sure"!  Somehow Feeling a little overwhelmed. He grabbed an other paper and a green crayon "Oh.. uhm.. okay so if you just draw a circle right here" I said pointing at the middle of the paper, Mike drew a wobbly circle, it didn't even look so much like a circle.

"Oh" Mike said disappointed looking at the circle " Here let me help you" I said placing my hand over his hand where he held the pen. I immediately turned red from the feeling of his warm hand I didn't look up but i could feel how Mike's hand was getting warmer too.

" O-Okay then you just do like this" I moved his hand and drew some circles, lines and figures. I looked up at Mike when i was done. Mike looked at it, his whole face brightening up "Wow! Yeah, Thank you so much Will!" I looked down at the drawing we just made, It was of us and the party all playing DnD in Mike's basement.

Mike took away his hand from mine. Oh. I must have made him uncomfortable, i always messes it up, don't I?

He took the painting and standing up, Was he going to rip it in pieces, maybe he just said he liked it because he wanted to be kind. I followed him with my eyes, he was walking towards the wall. But instead of ripping it in pieces he took a piece of tape and put it up on the wall.

"Now we always will see our masterpiece when we get down here" He said smiling with his whole face. " Yeah! "

                                                                                                        *      

Later that day they sat on the couch in Mike's basement, just talking, talking about everything and everyone. "Hey Will..?

"Yeah? " I looked at Mike in his striped sweater with a white collar, had had a dark blue pair of jeans and a leather belt that his mother forced him to wear, his white socks and his fluffy dark hair.

"Sooo..  Since you are gay-.."

Shit, piece of shit. Have he his changed opinion

does he hate me now?

What if he hits me like Lonnie did..

I should never have told him.

" Do you have a crush on anyone yet? " He smiles and raises his eyebrows up and down. Fuck what was i going to say? "Uh..uhm.. Y-yeah... " Shit that just slipped out. I look down at take a quick glance at Mike.

Why does he look a bit disappointed?

                                                                                             Mike

I sat besides Will, He wore a blue and white shirt with a grey collar and grey buttons. His bowl cut still overgrown and hangs a bit in front of his eyes. We just sat and talked. Suddenly i said "Hey Will..?  Why did i even said that, i don't even know what to say "Yeah? " He looks at me for a while, maybe waiting for me to continue.

"Sooo.. Since you are gay do you have a crush on anyone?"  shit, i don't want him to feel forced to answer that. I don't know what to do so i just try to make it a bit funny with raising my eyebrows up and down. " Uh..uhm.. Y-yeah"

Oh...he likes an another boy

I just stare down on my feet, really what did i thought? That Will of all people would love me? No, that stuff only happens in movies and comic books. After a while just staring down on my feets i realize Will was looking at me

"Oh well, What does he looks like..?" I look up at him again. He's blushing, i really don't have a chance with him. "H-He has dark hair and um.. a good style i guess, and he's very kind.."

Great.

"Hey Will? Do you think its possible to like both boys and girls..?" I finally look up at him, he's looking at me with his wrinkle between his both eyebrows "Uh yeah.. Its called bisexual its when you like both boys and girls... Why do you ask?" I started to panic, " uh.. um nothing i was just c-curious" I say hoping he would believe me. In fact it wasn't that big of a lie, I was curious.

"I like being with you Mikey" He says, resting his head on my shoulder and closing his eyes.

                                                         " I Like Being With You Too, Byers"
