mike pov
no mindflayer stuff is happening though!!The rain pounds down on the roof of the garage as I stand there across from Will, both of us yelling at each other. The look on his face is more hurt than I've ever seen him, but for some reason, I can't stop yelling. I know that I need to defend myself, and of course need to defend El, but I don't wanna hurt Will.
"Really?! Where's Dustin right now? See! You don't know, and you don't even care, and obviously he doesn't either and I don't blame him! You're destroying everything, and for what? So you can swab spit with some stupid girl?!" he yells, louder than I've ever heard him say anything.
"El's not stupid! It's not my fault you don't like girls!" I yell back, immediately regretting my words. His eyes fill to the brim with tears and he shakes his head, laughing sarcastically as I stand there, utterly scared and confused.
"Actually it is, Mike. It is your fault." he says, throwing his leg over his bike and biking off. I scream his name a few times, but he doesn't even look back.
When he's finally off the street, I collapse onto the ground, a million thoughts rushing through my head. Tears stream down my face. I've fought like this with all my other friends, but never Will. Why does this feel so different?!
I sit there, crying into my hands, only the sound of rain filling my ears.
The countless good memories of Will and I fill my head, and it's like there is a never ending amount. Every good moment in my life has been with him.
Oh my god.
I'm in love with Will, and I think he's in love with me too.
What else could he have meant by him not liking girls being my fault?!
I grab my bike from the back of the garage and ride as fast as I can to his house, my clothes and body getting soaked in the process.
When I get there, I bang on the door, screaming his name.
"Will! Will I'm sorry, alright! I need to talk to you! I really need to talk to you!" I beg, banging on the door. I look through the window and all the lights are off.
He's at castle byers.
Throughout our entire lives, anytime that I couldn't find Will, he was hanging out in castle byers, drawing or reading or just sitting their, drifting off to sleep. I leave my bike in front of his house and runs into the woods, and when I find him, it feels like my heart breaks.
Castle Byers is destroyed and all that is left is a pile of wood and rubble, and Will is collapsed on the wet ground in a heap, just letting the rain slash down on him. All of this is my fault.
"Will! Will are you alright?!" I ask, running over and bending down to his level.
"Leave me alone!" he sobs.
"Will, god I'm so sorry. I didn't mean anything I said. I was such a dick, and I've been such a dick for the past few months, and I'm so sorry." I say, taking his hands and pulling him up so that we're both standing.
"Will w - what did you mean when you said it was my fault you don't like girls?" I ask, stuttering nervously.
Tears fill his eyes and he takes a deep breath.
"Mike, I've been in love with you for my entire life. All my friends were always talking about having crushes on girls, so sometimes I would just make lies about having a crush too, but you were always my real crush." he cried. I can feel my cheeks turn red and my body heat up at his words.
"Will I - I wish you would've told me sooner. I think that maybe I've been using El as a distraction from my real feelings for you these past few months, and I know that's shitty for both of you, but I didn't wanna hurt her and I was honestly scared that you'd hate me and it would ruin our friendship." I say, crying as well.
"Y - you actually like me?" he asks, moving towards me.
"I love you Will. Anyone who doesn't is out of their mind." I say, taking his cold hands in mine. I look into his hazel eyes and smile as the rain drips down on us from the sky and the trees.
"I love you too, Mike. More than anything." he says. I use one of my hands and tilts his chin up to mine, slowly pressing my lips onto his. Our lips move hungrily and in sync and can't help but smile into the kiss, and he does the same, making us both giggle and pull back.
Before I can say anything, he falls into my arms and buries his head into my shoulder, hugging me tightly. I melt into the hug, wrapping my arms around his back and setting my chin on the top of his head, the sound of our quickly beating hearts drowning out the rain.
AN - sorry this is kinda bad, but i could really come up with anything else for this chapter. thanks for the suggestion!!
