Will's POV

Will woke up with heavy breathing sounds in his ear.

He realised he was still in the same position before falling asleep. He blushed but quickly went back to the heavy breathing.

He looked at Mike seeing sweat all over his forehead. Mike looked very pale.

Will hold his hand on Mike's forehead. He was very cold and the sweat too.

Mike's POV

Mike was standing in the kitchen.

Terrified.

He looked over to his dad who was screaming at him.

"DONT YOU DARE BRING WILL IN THIS HOUSE EVER AGAIN YOU QUEER!"

"What.. why?

"BECAUSE HE'S A FAG AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO BECOME ONE TOO"

"he's not.."

"YES HE IS"

"HOW DO YOU KNOW DAD"

His dream was fading away when he heard someone call is name.

Will's POV

"Mike..?" Will said tiredly while rubbing his eyes.

"Mike?" Will realised something was wrong.

"Mike.." Will started shaking the boy lightly.

"Mike! Mike what's wrong?"

"Can you hear me" Mike started breathing heavier.

"Mike! Please wake up!" Will spoke a lot harder now.

Mike flinched and tried to catch some breath. He almost choked on his own breath.

His breath started to become shaky very fast and now tears forming in his eyes.

"Mike, are you okay? Should I get some water"

Mike shook his head. He didn't want to let Will leave right now.

"Oh okay. Did you have a nightmare?" Will started sitting up slowly.

Mike didn't say anything but sat up so fast and hugged Will. Will didn't hesitate to hug back immediatly.

Mike sobbed in Wills shoulder. Will did not care about it so he just comfortably rubbed Mike's back in circles to comfort him.

Mike eventually stopped crying but kept being in the same position. He didn't wanna let go of Will. Not after that.

"Are you okay?" Will asked not pulling away from the hug.

"No... not really"

"Want to talk about it. You don't have to really."

"It's gonna sound so stupid.. so so stupid."

"I almost know for sure that it's not gonna sound stupid."

"But it is"

"If you think that's so then you think so. I'm not gonna force you to tell me anything. And I'm definitly not gonna judge you about it."

"Thank you.."

"No worries really. I'm here for you." Will pulled away from the hug and smiled looking in Mike's eyes.

Mike looked down feeling embarrassed.

"Want some water now?" Mike nodded.

Will stood up and walked to the kitchen to grab some water.

Mike's POV

"How am I supposed to tell him that I dreamed about him" Mike thought while thinking about the dream.

He started thinking he was overreacting.

He heard footsteps going up the stairs which means Will is coming up again.

Mike quickly sat up a bit. He didn't want to be like this with Will.

Even tho Will had seen him many times like this. Will was the only one who could comfort him.

Will walked in the room with a glass of water and gave it to Mike.

Mike accepted the glass and drank it until it was half full.

Will just sat infront of him waiting for Mike to be comfortable enough to tell him.

Will did have the patient to wait for Mike to speak up.

Mike looked nervously everywhere but Will. Mike's leg bounced up and down.

Will noticed this and put is hand on the bouncing leg. Which made mike stop bouncing his leg and finally look at Will.

Will looked very nervous. Did he care about Mike? Ofcourse he did he was Mike's bestfriend.

"I- I don't know how to tell you" Mike started.

"It's okay. Take your time." Wills voice was so comforting to Mike it was unbelievable.

"It was about my dad.... and you.."

"What did he say? Your dad?" Will asked genuinely wanting to know what happened.

"He- he- he told me that.. you.. can't visit me ever again, because... he said you were gay and called you names.."

Will looked very shocked or panicked Mike didn't see what it was.

"Did he say I was a fag?" Will asked silently.

"Yeah..."

"He told me that I was one too for hanging out with you. But the problem is I don't know if I'm gay or not I'm so confused." Mike's eyes went wide and put is hands on his mouth realising what he had just said.

"Mike don't worry it's okay. I don't care if you're gay or not. I'll always love you.." now Will was the one who looked shocked at his own words.

Mike however looked at Will like he had a chance. Even tho he didn't have a crush on Will. Did he?

"I didnt mean it like that... sorry" Will quickly said.

Mike's inner smile started fading away after that.

Will looked at the clock which said 6:43.

"Do you wanna go back to sleep?" Will asked.

Mike shook his head. "No.. Not really"

"Okay. What do you wanna do then?"

"I don't know."

They just stared at eachother for a while.

Mike looked at every detail of Wills face. The birthmarks. Everything.

"He's beautiful" Mike thought. "No Mike you're not gay"

And that's when it hit him. He was.

His eyes began to tear up.

"Hey Mike you okay?"

"Ye.. you know what. Can I tell you something." Mike started fidgeting with this finger.

Will noticed the fidgeting so he grabbed both Mike's hands apart from eachother holding one in each hand. Not letting go of them.

"Ofcourse you can tell me everything."

"I- I think- I think I'm gay.."

A/N

HAHA CLIFFHANGER. Anyways. The dream sucks I know honestly. I thought Mike started overreacting but I didn't wanna change anything. And then I realised he wasn't really overreacting. I mean imagine standing in his position. I would be the same honestly. So yeah I am immediatly gonna start the new chapter. Hope you enjoyed :).
