the secret ᵇʸˡᵉʳ

18- Kissin' in the bedroom.

Mike and swill talked for a bit , probably for a good hour. "I don't know, maybe orange?" Will said. "I think Lucas is red." Mike replied. "Dustin is most definitely green." Will said. Mike nodded. "Makes sense." Mike said. The two continued to talk about other stuff.

They heard footsteps from outside the room and a door open. A couple seconds later Wills room door opened. "Holly is asleep, so don't be loud." Joyce said, peaking her head through the room door. "Okay." Will said. Mike nodded. Joyce closed the door and smoke grabbed his bag. "I'm gonna go change." Mike said and left the room. Will just lied back on his bed.

When Mike came back Will was in pajamas and still on his bed. "You took five years." Will said. Mike chuckled and sat back on the chair. "I'm so bored, i'm seeing stars on the ceiling." Will said. Mike shook his head. "I'll tickle you again." Mike suggested. Will shot up and looked at Mike. "Don't you dare." Will replied.

Mike raised his hands and wanted over to Will. "no. Mike stop it." Will said, backing away.
Mike grinned and started tickling him. "Mike stop!" Will laughed out. "Nope!" Mike said. He continued to tickle Will. Will was about to trace a line on Mikes back but Mike grabbed his arms and held them. "Nope, not again!" Mike said. Will continued to laugh and tried getting his arms out of Mikes grasp.

"Let go!" Will said. "Nope!" Mike replied. Mike continued to tickle Will with his free hand. "No!" Will said while laughing. Mike stopped tickling him. "Let my hands go!" Will whined. "No!" Mike responded. "My poor hands!" Will replied. "Yeah, yeah." Mike said. Mike took both of Wills arms and put them above his head. "My hands! Let them go!" Will said. Mike shook his head.

After about five minutes of Will trying to get his arms free he gave up. Mike laughed at him. "Oh come on." Will muttered. Mike just shook his head. "This is so mean." Will pouted. "Is it?" Mike asked, tilting his head. "Very!" Will replied. "Ehh, seeing you struggle is kinda entertaining." Mike said. "Let go Michael!" Will said. "Nope." Mike said.

Will looked at Mike. (bro this is very cringy to me) Mike looked at Will. Next thing you know they were both leaning in.

(the fact they still aren't dating annoys me)

Mike was first to close the gap between them. Will closed his eyes right after Mike did, Mike let go of Wills arms and held himself up by holding the sheets. Will had put his hand on Mike's cheek. Will had sat up already.

They were in the same position for at least six minutes. They pulled away a few times for air but other then that it was just silence.

"Will phone for you!" A voice downstairs yelled. Mike pulled away and moved from in front of him. Will got off the bed and opened the door. He went downstairs and got the phone from his mom.

"Will Byers speaking!" Will said, he was in a slight shock. "Hey it's Max, I know it's late but can we talk to you?" Max asked over the phone. "We?" Will asked. "We as in me and El." Max responded. "Yeah sure, give me a second I'll be right there." Will said. "Okay, thanks." Max said and hung up. Will went back upstairs and opened his room door. He saw Mike sitting on the chair looking at the ceiling. He looked bored, like reallyyy bored.

"Hey Mike uh, Max and El need time for a bit. Are you okay on your own for about ten minutes?" Will asked. "Yeah, yeah i'm fine!" Mike said. "Okay thanks!" Will responded.
And with that Will disappeared.

I sit on the chair that's next to Will's desk. I was pretty much in shock. I haven't told him that I do want a relationship with him I just don't know if he's ready. I only want to bring it up when he's ready. I wouldn't care if it takes him a year to be ready for a relationship, i'll wait. I really like him. Not just because of the kissing.

He's sweet, he's pretty, he has an amazing personality and I love that he takes a lot of my sweaters. I just really like him. A voice snapped me out of my thoughts. ""Hey Mike uh, Max and El need time for a bit. Are you okay on your own for about ten minutes?" Will asked.

"Yeah, yeah i'm fine!" I respond. "Okay thanks!" Will said. After that he disappeared, I decided to stop thinking for a bit and check on Holly, I know she likes being tucked in and I know Joyce didn't know that.

I walked into the room Holly was in. She was awake in her pajamas on the bed. She had a bear in her hands. "Hey Holls." I say, I sit down next to her. "Hi Mikey." Holly says, she sounds tired already so I grab a book out of her bag. "You want me to read this?" I ask her. "Yes please." Holly responds.

"Okay, you have to get under the covers first." I tell her. She nods and gets under the covers. I open the book and start reading. She loved the book 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' I don't know why, but she did.

She fell asleep about four pages into the book. I close it and put it back in her bag. I kiss her forehead and go back to Wills room. I sit back on the chair and play with my fingers. I normally do that when i'm nervous. I don't know why I just do.

I really did want to tell Will that i'm ready but I don't want to tell him and he forces an answer to try and make me happy. He does that sometimes and i'm the only one that's noticed it.
