Love Made Me Better ~ A Byler Fan Fic

TW: Vomiting, hospital equipment, chemotherapy treatment.

"Ugh, I fucking hate the hospital." Will sighed as Joyce and Mike sat with him in the waiting room.

Joyce smacked Will's arm, "Watch your language!" She sighed angrily before rubbing the part of Will's arm she hit.

Mike laughed a little and looked around, "I think this is the most colourful part of the entire hospital." He smiled as he looked around at the walls that were accompanied with little cartoon animals, rainbows and drawings by children that were stuck to the walls.

Will rolled his eyes, "They're just glorifying cancer." He sighed crossing his arms.

"Stop being so negative." Joyce smiled as a nurse began to approach them.

"Will Byers? My names Linda, I'll be your right hand nurse throughout your journey." She smiled as she introduced herself. "If you follow me I'll bring you to the chemo room."

Will looked from Joyce to Mike nervously before standing up, "Miss Byers, there are some free refreshments in the front hall if you'd like to help yourself to something." The nurse smiled as she placed a hand on Will's back, "You and your brother can come along with me."

Will laughed a little as Mike took Will's hand and walked with him to the chemo room.

"More like step brothers." Mike mumbled into Will's ear.

Will bit his lip and kissed Mike quickly, "God, I love it when you talk dirty." He teased while rolling his eyes.

Mike laughed a little, "Shut up." He smiled as Will sat on the singular chair and Mike sat on the one that was facing Will's.

"Okay Will, we want to make this the most comfortable experience for you." Linda smiled as she got all her equipment ready, "How are you with needles?" She asked.

"They're okay I guess." Will shrugged as he watched Linda examined his arm for a place to put the IV in.

"Perfect." She smiled, "All the younger kids absolutely hate them." She laughed a little, "But a cookie and a juice box takes their mind off it."

Will frowned a little as she placed the IV into his vein, "I'll be back in around ten minutes to check your vitals okay?" She smiled before leaving the room.

"You okay?" Mike asked as he kicked Will's foot gently.

Will looked around the room and sighed, "Mike, all the kids here are so young." He whispered, "This isn't fair."

"Not all of them." A female voice sounded from the doorway. A teenaged girl with a head wrap around her head and a hospital gown on made her way towards Mike and Will and sat down.

Will looked at her, "Hi..?" He asked looking for her name.

"Chrissy." She smiled softly, "I heard Linda call you Will so no need for introductions. I'm guessing you two aren't brothers?" She laughed a little.

"No." Mike smiled, "I'm Will's boyfriend, Mike." He introduced himself to her.

"You've got yourself a keeper Will. When my boyfriend found out I had cancer he left right away." She sighed shaking her head, "He was a dick anyway."
