They were all at Steve's house. Watching a movie, eating snacks and (most importantly) talking shit about bullies.

  "It's cold." Will whines. "It's so... cold."
  "Do you want my jacket? I can go get it if you want." Jonathan asked, looking concerned over his little brother. He nodded.

"It's not even cold. You can sit through it." Mike said. Will froze, staring at him.

"Like you would know anything about that."
"What?" Mike looked at him like he was crazy.
"You don't even know! You call yourself my best friend but you don't know?!"
"I don't understand?" Mike asked, he seemed to have quickly seen his mistake. He looked horrified.

"You don't understand! Because you don't want to! I have tried to tell you for years! You don't want to listen to what I have to say! Non of you do! It's like I'm not even here!"

"Will, calm down." Will looked up in Steve's eyes. "Breathe with me, in... and out... in... and out... in... out. Good. Now please tell me what's wrong."

"You wouldn't believe me or you wouldn't care." Will said, trying to keep the tears in his eyes. Don't cry! Boys don't cry! You can't prove you dad right! Keep it in!

"Believe me, there's nothing you can say to shock me and no matter what you say, I won't judge you. There's nothing you can say to make me like you less. You amazing. Even if.. if you killed someone, I would wait until you told me your side of the story before making up my opinion."

"...Really?"" He looked shocked. The rest of the group also did, but neither of them cared.

"You would have to do something so fucked up for me to think badly about you. Like... becoming a mass murder for fun." Will smiled at this. "Now, you guys! Go home." It wasn't a question, it was an order.

Everyone walked towards the door, except Jonathan.
"You can pick him up tomorrow at... ten, we will have eaten breakfast by then." Steve said, smiling at the concerned brother.

"What about clothes?" Will asked.
"Good point, could you bring him some clean clothes when you pick him up tomorrow?"

"I'll see you tomorrow." Jonathan smiled at Will, before waking towards the door.
  "Okay, we have the whole house and until ten tomorrow. What do you want to do?"
  "I... don't know..." He looked kind of lost.

  "We could start by watching a movie?"
  "Sounds good..." Will nodded. He was so shocked by Steve, he new Steve loved to look after people, they all made jokes about mama Steve. But to see him take out a box of movies and ask him what he wanted to watch was weird.

  "I don't have that much to choose from. I have Back To The Future? Do you them?" Steve asked. He hade bought them after being drugged, he wanted to know what it was about.

Will reached down and took up a movie, looking at it.
  "Labyrinth. It's amazing, but weird. David Bowie plays in it, I really like him." Steve explained. Will nodded.
  "I like him to. It will be good." He said and handed Steve the film.
  "Great."
