3rd Person

Mike looked down at Will, sighing softly at the state of his boyfriend.

"You wanna go to sleep?" Mike asked as he saw him yawn.

Will nodded sheepishly, and Mike chuckled softly.

"That's fine, I'll be right here when you wake up." Mike smiled.

"T-Thank you." Will whispered, snuggling down into his bed.

"It's okay, now try and sleep, alright? It's been a long day." Mike muttered, feeling his own eyelids dropping slightly.

"I'll t-try." Will told him, before closing his eyes.

Mike did the same, and as he was about to fall asleep he heard a small sniffle. He opened his eyes slightly and saw tears streaming down Will's face.

"What's wrong, love?" Mike frowned, grabbing a tissue from the desk and wiping away Will's tears.

"Sorry.. I d-didn't mean to wake y-you up." Will muttered, feeling embarrassed.

"No, it's okay. What's wrong?" Mike gave Will's hand a small squeeze.

"I-I don't know. I'm j-just sad." Will shrugged, and Mike sighed slightly and examined Will's face.

"Are you sure? There's not anything bothering you right now?" Mike confirmed.

"..I'm a bit l-lonely?" Will blushed profusely, making Mike chuckle.

"Budge up then." He smiled, and Will shuffled over to let Mike next to him.

Mike got in bed next to Will and wrapped his arms around the smaller boy, Will instantly melting into the hug.

He rested his head on Mike's chest, closing his eyes and smiling softly.

"G'night, I love you." Mike whispered.

"I love y-you too.." Will whispered, snuggling his head further in Mike's chest.

(The next morning)

Joyce, Jonathan and Hopper all came back to the hospital, wanting to have a proper talk with Will.

Joyce knocked softly on the door to see if Will was awake, but there was no response, so she pushed open the door slightly.

She looked over at his bed and couldn't see Will's face, so she walked further in and gasped softly.

Her face instantly lit up, a huge grin spreading across her face as she saw her son cuddling with Mike, both of them sleeping peacefully.

"They're so cute!" Joyce whisper-yelled, overjoyed that Will was finally dating someone.

"Ugh, Will could do better." Hopper grumbled, sitting down on one of the chairs they had pulled up last night.

Jonathan did the same, and Joyce decided she should probably wake them both up.

She gave Will a gentle shake, and he let out a small groan and dug his head further into Mike's chest.
