Unexpected

Before the Storm.

He got up and quickly got dressed he had to face hell. 

He chugged a coffee. And then shuffled into the car just before Dustin said something "tell someone your favorite song. Anyone just someone you'll know you'll stick by."

 "Boys dont cry by the cures. I just wanted to let you know." He says, and watches Boris take a minute to think of his answer. "Mines 'who want to live forever by Queen"

 

They started laughing to each other, these were known as hidden songs with a deeper meaning to 'the gays' they were the only ones who got these jokes. Then all of a sudden he saw something in the corner of his eye, something he never wants to see as a brother. They were kissing in the back, not making out, but you know, pecks, but Mike still sent glares his way and looked him up and down. Like him holding hands with his boyfriend was scandalous. He has boris' lighter on him, in his breast pocket, it would be easy. Is pizza grease flammable? We'll only know if we try.

 

Thankfully for him and Mike's skin they finally made it. They made it to town square, right where the X had been met in the middle, and he could see it, the big X.

 

It looked like the embodiment of Hell.

 

They tied a rope to a lamp post nearby but it didn't look like it was enough. They attached rope after rope on the ends until it met the requirement. In groups of two they started going down, he and Mike started going down at the same time, Boris stayed behind to go with Joyce. 

 

They started descending down the Hell hole. 

 

"I want to say I'm sorry." They were half way down the chasm. And Mike had to open his mouth.

 

 "Hm?" He hummed as he made sure he got his footing right.

 

 "For everything, the names, the yelling." He sounded honestly sincere. "Just, that if one of us gets hurt and some of the last memories we have are of us fighting. I don't think I'd live with myself." Ah, so this was one of those apologies, just because they believe that if one of them dies the other will be guilty forever.

 

"Huh." Who said he would die first? 

 

Maybe he was slowly growing more and more bitter towards everyone and everything. 

 

"And I'm sorry for calling Boris a druggie. It was wrong of me. He can do whatever he wants. I just don't agree with it." 

 

"Tell him yourself once once we're done." He says, hinting towards, 'this is not the person.' 

 

"Sure…" Mike says. It was no secret that Mike didn't really like Boris in general, from his habits, to his sense of style. Everyone knew. He didn't hide it.

 

As they all came down he saw his mom and Boris having a conversation and they were laughing, it warmed his heart to see that. His mom and his lover are getting along together. It was nice. 

 

" Quiet before the storm."

 

But this was soon met by bats. Hundreds of them in a swarm raining down. He wont even let us get ready. "Ready for action everyone!" And Hopper brought out his flame thrower. 

 

He started shooting but he felt it. A bat got him. Dragging him by the leg. He clawed at the floor but he couldn't get anything. "Help!" He heard Boris yell. But another got him and he got dragged into the woods. The last thing he saw, Boris crying out to him. Before the shrubs and bushes hid it all. Engulfing him into the thing he hated the most loneliness. Darkness. And the woods. He didn't even fight back.
