The four arrive at the lake. It's huge. Yet no one ever goes there to swim. They go to the community pool. Sure the lake is out in the forest but people have bikes.
Max and El had basically forced them to come. El had just recently learned how to swim. And Max really wanted to take her to a beach. But she doesn't live in California anymore. They live in Indiana. Not really a state close to the ocean.
"Did we really have to bike all the way out here?"
"Yes we did, Micheal, stop ruining everything fun!" Max burst out, taking her shirt off and jumping into the lake, closely followed by El.
(Yes they were wearing bikinis)
"Not my point!" Mike yells while both the girls are under water.
"Will, do you even like swimming?" Mike asked, turning his head to look at him and regretting it.
Will stood with his shirt halfway on his arms. He was about to throw it to the side when he saw Mike's flustered expression.
"I do like swimming? You?"
"I- ah, ehm- y-yup!" Mike stuttered.
"Alright, what are you waiting for?" Will said, walking forward and jumping in. The two girls cheering him on.
Mike mumbled something under his breath before taking his own shirt off. His hair frizzed a little by the fabric being pulled off. He jumped in after Will, holding his hand on his nose. The freezing water hitting his pale skin as he paddled to the surface.
His hair went over his eyes as he pulled it away. His eyes immediately set on Will. His hair laying flat instead of his bowl cut. His hair spread to the side.
The two girls were too busy splashing around. Forgetting about the other boys existence, they swam up to each other. Max grabbing El in a tight grasp and kissing her lightly.
"Woah, kinda gay-"
"And? Wheeler don't act like you aren't gay, you stare at Will's ass like 24/7"
"I do not!"
"Really? Mhm I have seen it happen about 25 times now"
Mike started to swim away. Away to the waterfall. He knew there was a hidden cave behind it. But he didn't hear Will paddling after him. He climbed up on one of the rocks walking behind the flooding water. The whole cave was blue and light. The sun shining right on the waterfall. He heard wet footsteps come up behind him and Will was there. Mike's eyes not averting from the boy.
"Wow you really have a staring problem?" Will said sarcastically.
Mike just hummed in response. Still not taking his eyes of Will.
Will looked at him. Mike's eyes wide and a smile creeping up on his face. His cheeks a red hue. Will chuckled for himself. He took a step forward and kissed Mike on the cheek. Not knowing where he had gotten his courage from.
Mike was totally baffled. His cheeks even redder and heart beating faster. Will just giggled at his blank stare. Walking back to the rocks and climbing out of the waterfall. Jumping back in the water and swimming back over to the girls. Joining them in their water fight.
