Why was he holding his hand (when he's supposed to be mine?)

Chapter 10 - Dustin -

School was over and Will was searching for the party, it was just kind of difficult trying to push through the horde of teenagers heading the opposite direction of them. Then he spotted Dustin.

"Dustin!" Will yelled pushing past someone to get Dustin's attention. Dustin had changed since...Eddie. Once the most sweet and cheerful person in the party he now snapped at everyone and almost constantly looked like he was going to break into tears. This annoyed Mike a lot, but Will understood. He hated that they went through traumatic shit every year and then just went back to normal life like nothing had happened. So he let Dustin be sad around him, and as a result their friendship had become a lot stronger. That's why when Dustin spotted Will a small smile graced his face.

"Hey, Will. How are you doing?"
Will smiled "It's been better lately. I made a new friend and we've been hanging out a lot more. It's nice. Makes it easier to not think about.. well you know."
Dustin nodded. "I talked to Suzie yesterday. Will raised his eyebrows. Shortly after Eddie Dustin had told Suzie he needed some time to figure things out. She had surprisingly understood and taken it really well.

Dustin laughed, "Ouch man, no need to look so surprised."

Will smiled apologetically, "Sorry, Sorry. So what did you guys talk about?"

Dustin smiled, "We got back together, and since I have a car and she does too, we're gonna meet up halfway next weekend."

Will grinned and hugged Dustin as they left the school. "No way man! Congratulations."

Dustin laughed, thanking Will then with a sly look on his face "So who's this new friend you've been spending so much time with?"
Will blushed, then mustered up his courage. "Well that's actually kinda what I wanted to talk to you about, I mean I'm gonna tell the whole party but I wanted too tell you first. "

Dustin waggled his eyebrows suggestively, "Okay let's hear it, what's his name?"

Will's jaw dropped "His name?"

Dustin nodded, "I mean I'm assuming you've found yourself some handsome guy and wooed him with your big puppy dog eyes."

Will look stunned "You know I like..." then in a hushed voice "guys?" Laughing Dustin swung his arm around Will's shoulders.

"Oh Will, you are not as subtle as you think."

Will laughed at the initial shock of not having to come out to Dustin worn off. "Yes, I met a guy. His name is David. We kissed last night." a pause, then, Will grinned "and this morning." Dustin laughed clapping him on the back "Way to go man"

Will grinned. He had missed Dustin. They stood on the sidewalk at school now and Will saw David walking through the doors. "Listen man David's driving me home so I gotta go, but I need your help." Dustin nodded while looking around trying to spot David. "Can you help me get the party together to hang out this Saturday?"
Dustin nodded hesitantly, "That didn't go so well last time."
Will sighed, "I know but I don't want us to play D + D I. I want too tell everyone about me. About David."

Dustin nodded. "For sure man, I'll talk to Lucas, You talk to Mike and El."

There were no students left in the parking lot which is why Will suspected David wrapped his arm around Will's should surprising him.

"Hey"
"Hey" Will grinned, turning his head up to meet the eyes of the taller boy. God his eyes. He really, really wanted to kiss David, but then he remembered Dustin was standing right next to them in what Will could only imagine was a very entertained look.

Breaking eye contact Will turned his head back to Dustin and smiling said "Dustin this is my.... Um. This is David." Dustin extended a hand to David smiling. "Hi David, I'm Dustin." David smiled, Dustin continued "And any - friend - of Will's is a friend of mine." He had raised his eyebrows suggestively when he said friend, causing Will to die of embarrassment. "Okay, bye Dustin" he said firmly walking towards David's car. "Tell me what Lucas says tomorrow, okay!" He yelled as they walked away.

Sitting in David's car he noticed David seemed to be thinking about something. "What's up?" He questioned, worried he had done something
wrong.
David looked up "What? Oh nothing. It's just I know we said the kissing was gonna keep happening but besides that are we just friends or?" Will looked confused, he had thought they had this conversation this morning. "What do you mean?"
David blushed a bit "I mean that's cool but I had just been kinda hoping that we could be... boyfriends."

Avoiding eye contact with Will, David started the car and began driving too Will's house.

"David, I misunderstood what you were saying this morning." David kept his eyes on the road seemingly still embarrassed by his hopefulness.

"I thought we already were boyfriends.
The embarrassment disappeared from his face in a flash replaced by a grin. "You did? I mean you want to be?"

Will nodded enthusiastically, "I mean yeah, I don't really kiss people for no reason."

David smiled. They sat in contented silence until they arrived at the Byers driveway. As Will grabbed his bag and went to get out of the car he stopped for a moment and leaned over into the driver's seat quickly kissing David surprising even himself with the sudden burst of confidence.

Inwardly enjoying the look of surprise on David's face he grinned and waved goodbye as he walked to the front door, thoroughly enjoying the entranced look David was giving him from the car.
