Part 35

February 14th 1988

Mike and will we're sitting outside of the Byers house inside of mikes car

Mike sighs and he looks at Will with a apologetic look and will furrows his eyebrows

"What?" Will asks

"Nothing, it's just that today was stress full and so much and I'm so sorry for today you deserved a nice day and not to be crying in the restroom because a bitchy girl from our school" mike sighs

"We deserved a nice day" will corrects before continuing "and it's ok Mike it's not your fault I still had fun and I enjoyed spending time with you" will says giving mike a soft comforting smile and mike returns it

"I had fun with you too, I really enjoyed it" mike says and he leans in and he kisses wills forehead

Will sighs loudly and he looks at mike "are you sure you can't spend the night I don't want you to leave" will whines looking at mike with puppy eyes and mike sighs

"Sorry love, I can't my parents want me home but I'll be back tomorrow, I promise." Mike says and will nods and he leans down to grab the gift bag that was by his feet and he digs inside of it pulling out the note, Will scans the back of it before turning it around and reading the other side of the paper that has pencil marks all over it with some words crossed out and looks like it was roughly crumbled

Dear Will

Fuck.
How the hell do I explain this without making me look like a fucking weirdo
I don't know but lately I've been feeling weird
Especially around you..
I mean that's why I've been avoiding you all summer, I feel bad for it because all I want to do is talk to you
But I'm not talking to you because I think I like you.
But that's ridiculous we're both boys!
Your my best friend
But yet I can't help but notice how pretty you are
How pretty your eyes are
How soft your hair looks
How good you smell
fuck your gorgeous.
Every time I'm around you my face feels hot and my stomach feels like it's doing backflips
Every time you touch me my body starts the tingle
fuck will.
Why are you so perfect.?
But I'm dating el and we're both boys and your straight so i can't!
God damnit I'm a fucking weirdo.
But I can't help from liking you.
damnit will.

Will looks up from the paper and he looks at mike who is nervously fidgeting with his hands and not making any eye contact with Will

"why didn't I ever get this note?" Will asks trying to hide a smirk that his forming on his lips, Mike looks at Will with a indescribable expression on his face

"I was to nervous" mike whispers almost to quietly Will was barley able to hear but will definitely heard it and he snickers

"Oh my god stop!!" Mike says awfully embarrassed

"Sorry I couldn't help it" will says grinning and mike softly hits wills arm

"I hate you" mike mutters and Will laughs and he kisses mikes cheek

"I'm sorry" will says softly "I should go in now before I get yelled at" will says and mike sighs

"Ok bye I'll see you tomorrow" Mike says pulling Will into a hug that Will melts into

"Bye" will smiles grabbing the handle and looking back at mike and kisses him and mike Immediately kisses back

Will pulls alway and he opens the car door and he gets out and before he closes the door Mike says something
