⚠️:abuse...:(

"Stop crying you little piece of shit!" Lonnie slurred, stinking out of the scent of alcohol as always, hitting the sobbing Will's arms with a ruler.

"S-sorry-" Will made out before gasping to another hit. He glanced at his terrified mother and Older brother who were also sobbing, covering them bruises with make up and bandages.

Jonothan wanted to rush to help Will, but his leg was injured terribly.

So there he was, seating on the ground as his sobbing mother bandaged his leg.

Will, who realised what Jonothan wanted to do, just tried his best and smiled. A deep, hurtful smile. He thought maybe that way Jonothan wouldn't be as worried.

Lonnie glanced at the younger boy, and the smile freaked him out. suddenly he just collapsed on the ground.

Joyce, who was just waiting for that moment, rushed to Will hugging him, crying.

"MY BABY!! I'M S-SO SORRY!!" She made out. Will's smile didn't fade, as he still watched Jonothan who was staring at him with an unreadable expression.

Uncontrollably, a tear rushed down his cheeks as he fainted in his mother's arms...

With a gasp, Will jumped awake. His face was covered with a cold sweat as a shiver rushed down his spines while he tried his best to catch his breath.

For one second he forgot where he was until he remembered, he was in Dustin's room.

He glanced at Dustin who was sleeping on his bed, snoring loudly. Will sighed and glanced at the clock: 4:30 it showed.

With a groan, he got off his mattress. He grabbed his jacket and and his phone, wanting to go outside for some fresh air.

As he was wearing his shoes, his phone suddenly vibrated, which caught him by surprise. Who was calling him in the middle of the night?

He walked outside, took out his phone out of the jackets pocket, and it was an unanimous number.

Although he didn't knew who it was, he decided to answer, like he always did... ignoring the fact that it was in the middle of the night.

"H-hello?" Will spoke. The line was quiet. "Is... anybody there?" Will asked.

"HOLY SHIT- I am so sorry Will, I called the wrong number!!" Mike laughed from the other side of the line after realising the person he had called wasn't Lucas, in fact was the new contact that was added to his contact list!

"Mike!? Why are you still awake? Did you got your meds? Are you hurting rn? Do you want me to come over?" Will asked, nervously.

And god... Mike found it so fucking heart melting. "I-I'm honestly fine!! Really!! Just wanted to call my roommate to tell him to lower the volume of the tv since I couldn't sleep! And I got my meds too... gosh I'm so fucking sorry that I woke u up." Mike chucked, with an smile he couldn't help but to have.

Will sighed in relief and then letted out a chuckle. "It's fine, really. I was awake anyway..."Will replied. "Well then, take care of yourself a lot more Mike, ok? See you tomorrow in our beloved Mr. White's class??" He teased.

What he earned was a laugh from Mike's side which flattered him. "Gosh... looking forward to that a bunch!!" Mike laughed.

"And yeah... see u tomorrow!! Sweet dreams!" Mike smiled. A blush creeped on Will's cheeks, turning him as red as a tomato.

"Y-yeah! See you then!! Goodnight" Will chuckled. And soon, the two hung up, although none of them really wanted the call to end so quickly.

With a sigh and an smile on Will's face, he headed back inside.

Wow... what a night!

After the call, Mike's heart was beating out of His chest. God... this was the best thing that happened in that day.

He was so caught by thinking about how caring and how adorable will was, he didn't even noticed lucas had turned the TV Off and now he was standing by his door.

"Who were u talking to, Loverboy?" Teased Lucas. "God... he's so precious lucas... " Mike mumbled.

Lucas just chuckled, already knowing who Mike meant by that. "Damn man, well, just make sure this new crush of yours doesn't distracted you from the concert! It's a big concert!!" Lucas said before going to his room.

On his way to his room, he was smiling. Now that he thought about it, it had been a quite long time since he saw Mike this happy and over the moon.

The next day, the two arrived to school in the same time, and the moment they made eye contact, a blush creeped on both them faces.

"H-hi!" Mike smiled. "H-hi!!" Will chuckled, which Mike found adorable.

Lucas chuckled to himself, pushing Mike over to Will on purpose so they would bump up together, and so the did!...

"Woops! Sorry man, my bad! Gotta go get to my class!" Lucas chuckled, walking to his class, but Mike was to flustered to even listen when he found himself in Will's arms.

"A-are you ok, Mike?" Asked Will, genuinely worried. "O-o-oh! Y-yeah! Pff- totally!!" Mike laughed awkwardly, freeing himself from Will's arms... although he really didn't wanted to.

"Well, wanna walk to Mr.White's class?" Asked Mike. "I'd like that..." Will smiled, and Mike couldn't help but to blush at how pretty Will's smiles were.

Soon, the two boys find themselves in the boring class. While Mike was bored out of his mind, Will actually was trying to listen.

Mike rested his head on the desk, staring at Will. And out of the blue, an idea hit him!

He quickly took out a piece of paper and his pen...

"Hey byers, here. That boy Michael told me to give it to you..." the boy who was seating behind Will said, as he gave him a piece of paper.

"Oh?" Will thought as he glanced behind him, looking at Mike who was smiling.

Will smiled, opening the letter:

Hey pretty boy~
Are you also feeling bored or is it just me?

And just like that, Mike and Will started passing letters through the whole class, until...

"MR. BYERS AND MR.WHEELER! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU TWO PASSING LETTERS THROUGH OUT MY CLASS..." Mr.White shouted... continuing,

"This means a 2 hour detention for both of you after school!"
