When will you realise (byler)

Chapter 9

(Wills POV)

"Hey Will can you come here for a sec?"

"Coming mom." 

"So you know how tomorrow is the last day of spring break?"

"Yeah?"

"I was thinking it would be nice for you to show everyone around Lenora and I have to keep El at home anyway because we need to just brush over a few of the things that will be different now that we are back. So it will just be you and the boys like old times."

"Okay thanks mom sounds good."

just as i'm walking away to go to my room because it's getting late i hear my mom call me. "Will just one more thing. Is what Dustin said true, i mean i don't judge or anything i just want to know."

Oh shit ummm she said she doesn't judge but what if she still sees me differently?

"Ye-yeah."

"Okay. Goodnight sweetie."

"night mom."

(Mikes POV)

I still can't believe it Will is gay does anyone else know? i mean surely his family knows right? 

my thoughts are interrupted my a quite shut of the door. "Oh hey Will."

"Hey Mike." I notice him fidget with his sleeve like he does when hes nervous.

"Whats wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Don't lie to me Will. We have been through hell together, we have seen our town fall, heck we have seen our friends and family fall. You don't need to lie to me okay?"

"Okay. It's weird even though we are out of Hawkins i still feel him when we moved before i didn't it was like he was gone then when i came back i felt him again but i just assumed that he would go away but he didn't it's like- like well it's hard to explain."

"It's okay you don't have to talk about if you don't want to."

"It's fine Mike i'll tell you if i feel anything else and i am going to show you guys around town tomorrow and maybe get some stuff for school as well."

"Okay sounds good."

i feel the tension growing between us once again i hate when this happens we are such good friends when we're talking but then when we stop it gets so awkward and what does Will mean by he can feel him we are decently far away from Hawkins he can't have spread that far in like 1 month then we would put everyone in danger again.

"Should we figure out the sleeping arrangements?" Will says interrupting  my thoughts.

"Ummmmm yeah sure."

Why did i say ummmmm that was completely unnecessary. I knew what i was going to say.

"So i was thinking we could top and tail, or one on the ground one on the bed, or just whatever makes  you feel the most comfortable."

"We-well i was thinking that we could just share the bed I- i mean we've done it before and your bed is a lot bigger now but then again so are we bu- but only if you're comfortable with it of course."

Fuck did i really just say that oh god.

(Wills POV)

OMG, OMG did he just ask me that i mean of course i want to it's just will he feel comfortable with it well he was the one who suggested it so does that mean-? No, no not like that it's just platonically. Oh gees have i been silent for too long? What if he thinks i don't want to? Oh god that's really weird.'

"I- I uhh ye-yeah sure i guess a-as long as you're okay with it."

"I was the one who suggested it wasn't I?"

"haha yeah right sorry."

"seriously you need to stop apologizing so much Will you have nothing to be sorry for."

"Sorry for, sorry for, sorry for, sorry for."

and just like that i'm back in the upside down back to the place i dread the most.

"Mike?"

"MIKE!?!?!" i scream as loudly as i can.

i quickly turn around to try and find the source of the sound or even try to make out what the sound it.

"Tick, tock, tick, tock."

"What would a clock be doing here?" I say out loud.

As i stare deeply into the clock i notice something.

"I think i've seen this clock before." i say out loud again not meaning too but i do anyways it's not like anything can hear me anyway.

(Mikes POV)

"Will? Will? hello Will? can you hear me? Will? Will this isn't funny Please respond to me Will! WILL! HELLO? WILL SERIOUSLY TALK TO ME."

Shit, what the hell is happening what if he's having a seizure!?

"MRS BYERS! EL! HOP! THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH WILL HE'S NOT RESPONDING! HURRY UP!"

As they all come running down to Will's room he starts to breath heavily.

"WILL BABY! WWIIIILLLLL! WILL? TALK TO ME WILLLLL!"

"What's wrong with him?" Eleven asks in a tone that seems to be way too calm even what is currently happening.

"IF WE KNEW YOU WOULD TO." Mrs Byers semi-yells at El not in a mean way or anything.

"Mike?"

"Will!? Are you okay?"

"Ye-yeah mainly just a little shaken up, I- I was back there in the upside down but it was different his time it wasn't cold and there was a clock in the middle of the woods."

"Did Lucas mention something about Max seeing a clock before she well slipped into a coma."

"I can't remember." El and Will say in unison.

"Well i think you boys better be getting some rest you have a big day ahead of you." Mrs Byers says while ushering everyone that had now gathered in the doorway out. "Goodnight boys don't let the bed bugs bite."

"Night." We both reply before Mrs Byers turns out the light and closes the door.

"I'm Just going to get changed." I say while motioning to my bag.

"Oh yeah right i- i'll turn around."

"Okay thanks Will."

what the hell just happened he was like in a trance is the mind flayer back? No he can't be we killed him. Right? Yeah we did we saw his body on the ground.

As i hop into my side of the bed i quietly whisper "Goodnight Will."

"Goodnight Mikey." wow he must be really tired he never calls me that it's so cute though. i can't help but notice how peaceful he looks when he's just about to sleep god he's so cute.

 "i should probably go to sleep now" i think to myself.

I look over my shoulder one last time to take a look at the now sleeping boy who is shivering even though he has all the blankets on him i hope he's not getting sick. I slowly put my hand over him in order to try and warm him up a little bit i can feel my eyelids getting heavier until i finally cave in and let them shut.
