Come outside.

Despite everything screaming at him to lay the fuck down, Will gets up anyways.

Despite the painful throb of his heart, he pushes the comforter off his shoulders and down to the end of his bed.

He knows he should lay back down and go to sleep. He knows he should block his number and delete his contact.

But, he doesn't want to.

What he does do is throw on some pajama pants and one of his worn-down sweaters. He grabs a pair of socks and pulls them over his feet before making his way out of his room.

He knows this is unhealthy.

He should be asleep right now, finals are starting next week and he should be in bed getting his beauty sleep right now.

Not sneaking out the house at nearly 2 am to meet up with the town's favorite fuckboy.

But he's doing it anyway because he likes Mike.

He likes the way Mike stares at him and the way his pale, long, and delicate hands caress him. When Mike talks about a subject that genuinely interests him, he appreciates the way Mike's eyes glitter. He likes how Mike makes him feel inside.

He likes how Mike keeps coming back to him.

He doesn't know why. Everyone knows the infamous Mike Wheeler doesn't fuck the same person twice. Unless he's dating someone.

Which he is. And she's not Will.

She's the brown-haired girl that sits next to him in art. She's nice, she has pretty brown eyes that light up whenever they talk about art things together. She likes being Will's partner, she's quick to look at him when the teacher says to pair up. She's Piper Bradshaw.

Will doesn't like her that much.

He doesn't know her and he doesn't want to. He has no real reason not to like her, it's just the fact that she got Mike before he could.

Mike stopped texting him the moment they got together. Will tried to pretend it didn't hurt that Mike ignored him in the halls.

That he stopped accepting his lunch and saying thank you for his compliments.

But it did hurt, he liked Mike, and he wants Mike.

He wants Mike so badly.

That's why he's doing this, sneaking down to his kitchen to make Mike a fucking dinner/breakfast whatever. Mike probably didn't eat.

He's more of a smoker and a drinker.

Will tells him that that's unhealthy, and Mike tells him to shut the hell up before kissing him. Will doesn't like the taste of vodka, but he does like how Mike's lips feel against his, so he lets Mike kiss him.

He makes Mike a sandwich, a turkey one to be exact because he remembers when Mike told him that he doesn't like ham. That was a week after he met Mike, like actually met Mike, a week after Sophomore year started for him, and Senior year for Mike.

Mike's going to college soon, Will tries not to think about that so much, he might start crying.

Instead, he places slices of pickles onto Mike's sandwich, not tomatoes, Mike also doesn't like tomatoes.
