While they were painting Will's room, Mike Wheeler couldn't keep his eyes off his bestfriend. He thought that it was because he hasn't seen him for a year, but then he realizes that that's not it. What was the matter with him? He can't like boys, can he? And he isn't gay.
Anyway, Mike got pushed back by El, his girlfriend, onto the floor making him snap out of his thoughts. ''Hey!'' He called out. The two, El and Will, began to burst out laughing. Mike stood up and smiled. ''I ain't that funny,'' Mike said. ''No. You're not at all funny,'' Will replied, still smiling. ''Oh dare you!'' Mike said in a fake British accent (💀) on dabbed the paintbrush on his t-shirt.
'Mike!' Will squealed. Will dabbed his paintbrush on my shirt. And then El joined in and they were all laughing. And then they calmed down and began to paint. Will put his paintbrush down and put on music. He put on ''Should I Stay Or Should I Go?'' By The Clash. It was his favourite song and Mike smiled when he put it on. Mike looked over at Will and saw that he was mouthing the words. He looked cute.
Wait what? Will Byers cute? No! I can't think that! I'm not gay! Mike thought.
Mike continued to stare at Will without knowing what he was doing. But, El caught him staring at Will. She was confused. What did Will do? she thought. El shrugged it off and began to paint the wall. Mike looked away from Will and began to paint aswell.
Will looked at Mike, fantasizing about him. He began to blush as he thought of Mike. Oh how he loved Mike, no one could ever describe his words of his love for Mike. No one knew expect him and Robin that he liked Mike. Robin! Will was supposed to text her! As soon as Will got up, his phone rang. He walked over to the window and checked the caller ID. It was Robin calling.
He picked up and walked out of the room, leaving El and Mike in the room.
''Hey, Robin. What's up?'' Will said. ''I'm going on a date.'' Robin said quietly. ''Wait what?! Oh my God! Robin that's amazing! Who is it with?'' Will said, excitedly. ''Vickie,'' Robin replied. ''Oh my God! Like a full on date or like a meet up?'' Will asked. ''Well, a bit of both to be honest.'' Robin replied. ''When are you going?'' Will questioned. ''Saturday,'' Robin said. ''Ohmygod! And you're only telling me this?'' Will said. ''I only just got ask a few hours ago, and I was working!'' Robin explained. ''Alright, sorry. Anyway I have to go. We're painting my room,'' Will said. ''Right, see ya Mini Byers!'' Robin said. ''See you!'' And Will hung up and went back into the room.
When he walked in, Mike and El were making out. Will bit his lip to stop crying and said, ''Are you guys done making out in my room or..?'' Mike and El jumped apart looking at Will who felt like he was in near tears. Will walked over and began to paint the wall and the other two did likewise. Mike went closer to Will and whispered to him, ''You know you could tell me anything right?''
Will looked at Him. Will hadn't realized how close he was to Will and it made him blush. ''Of course. I know that. Why wouldn't I know that?'' Will rambled on about random stuff and Mike just smiled at him.
''Guys, I'm going to the shop for some stuff. Want anything?'' El asked, straightening up. ''No thanks El.'' Will said. Mike shook his head. ''Alright then. See you guys soon!'' El exclaimed as she walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
Will sat down and Mike sat next to him. ''You know.'' Mike began. Will turned his head to him. ''I missed you when you were gone. Sure, it's Hawkins but it's not the same without you,'' Mike confessed. Will was so touched by this that he patted Mike's hand, causing Mike to have slight butterflies. Will pulled his hand away and looked Mike in the eyes. ''I miss you too,'' Will confessed, blushing slightly. The two boys talked to eachother. And then Will suddenly felt really tired.
''Are you okay Will?'' Mike asked him. ''Just a little bit tired,'' He replied. Mike went closer to Will so that they were side by side and put Will's head on his shoulder. (<33) It was completely platonic to put your best friend's head on your should if their tired. Isn't it?
