a boy i used to know - byler

Day 1

The mall was a mess.
Will and Mike spent the last few hours going in and out of stores, trying on clothes, raiding the ice cream, trying each others milkshakes and choosing where they will sleep. They ended up finding the furniture shop and found two beds that lay side by side.
They were lying next to each other, on the floor gazing at the stars through the starcourt sun roof.
"you know will, as soon as you left, me and el broke up. She's actually with max now believe it or not"
"No way!" Will shot back smiling. He was happy that he had someone he knew  that was like him. "El didn't tell me she liked girls! I'm so happy for her"
"yeah.. I feel kind of relieved because I was loosing feelings for her and I really don't want to seem rude but-"
"mike is ok, el is happy now" will told him reassuringly "it's a normal human thing"
will was always kind to mike and he always gave him actual helpful advice. "thank you will. I feel better now. I just felt so guilty but you've made me feel better" will could feel his cheeks turn hot red. He had hoped that mike didn't notice but..

did he just blush?

"You know ever since you left, Hawkins hasn't been the same without you. I mean, everyone else are still friends they are all good but it just feels.. off if you know what I mean?" Will nodded and sat up.
then their eyes locked. "I've missed you so much. I'm sure everyone else has too. When you left I cried. I cried the whole the whole day. And I-" will had to break up the conversation or he would kiss mike then and there. He was flustered, cheeks bright red and all he wanted to do was wrap his arms around Mike and kiss him until the sun came up.

Instead he just hugged mike. He wrapped his arms around Mikes waist and pulled him in for the most heartwarming hug ever. Mike was upset. Upset that he didn't kiss will. Upset that his feelings for wills was still there. Upset that will is the most beautiful human being. Suddenly mike wasn't upset anymore. Because he was thinking of will. Will makes mike happy. Just the thought of will make mike smile and turn bright red, makes mike kick his feet and roll around on the floor. Will was mikes sunshine.

"It's getting late now, don't you think?" Mike said still gripping onto will. "Yeah. I'm pretty tired"
will said back digging his face into mikes hair.
The two walked back to the furniture shop but forgot which beds they were having. "I'll race you until we find more beds" mike said
"bet!" will replied
they were racing as fast as they could until they crashed into each other causing them to bang to the floor. Will feel on top of mike making the moment super awkward. "um im uh um sorry I-"
"will it's okay it isn't your fault" Mike said giggling
making will blush. "Hey, we could have those beds over there!"
Will and Mike chose two beds opposite each other
and got into their beds. "Goodnight, will"
"Goodnight, Mike" and they fell asleep.

there seems to be a pattern in this story because for some will keeps getting woken up.

Will was woken up to mike getting into his bed but will pretended to stay asleep. He felt mikes warm arm wrap around his waist, and Mike dig his face into his shoulder. He heard mike whisper " I know you're awake."
