(Still at the arcade)

Mike's pov :

I was slowly getting frustrated at the claw machine. "Damn it!" I whispered as the claw malfunctioned and dropped the stuffed animal once again. I look around to see if I could find him, and to my surprise I saw him glancing over at me. I only smirked before I made my way over to him.

Will had his head down so he didn't see me in front of him which gave him a bit of a scare, causing him to shout

"Jesus- Mike when the hell did you get there?!"

"Psh like two seconds ago-" I replied smugly, my heart fluttered as I saw him roll his eyes. He signalled for me to follow him so I did, 

he was only a few steps ahead of me but I couldn't help but think about him. Damn, how the hell is he so hot? His smile and his eyes, they were so pretty.. after a while of mindlessly walking through the arcade we agreed on street fighter.

"OH COME ON! that is so unfair." I shouted rather loudly causing a few people to stare

"You're just a sore loser!" He said back trying to hold back a laugh

"No no no - will you can't do that!"

"Yes I can - and I just did"

"W-whatever" shit. did I just stutter-? fuck. I thought. I just fucking stuttered.

I quickly snap out of it before taking wills hand and tugging him along back to the others. After a few steps I could feel him let go of my hand, I look back slightly confused before I took his hand once again,

 this time he wouldn't move, he just stood there like a statue, or at least he did before he ran off to Steve. For fucks sake! Why does he always have to ruin everything! I hated Steve so much for it.

My heart quivered as I watched them walk away together laughing and gossiping, I never knew how envious or jealous I was of Steve until today, 

after a few minutes I decided to go find them. It only took a few seconds before I spotted them. I strode up to will placing both my hands on his shoulder i then asked "What are you guys talking about?"

After a short pause Steve replied

"girls."

"Ooo let me hear"

"Mike. Not now."

"I'm not leaving-" I said getting a little defensive, and will seemed to notice that as well, after another few seconds of silence I heard will say "Mike could you please lea-"

I angrily cut him off by saying "Will. I'm not fucking leaving you."

Two seconds later I grabbed his hand and led him away.
