"DO YOU KNOW WHERE DUSTIN AND LUCAS ARE?" Daniel asked as he came trotting down the stairs of Mike's basement that afternoon. Mike was sitting alone, his nose in a comic book. The boy looked up and shook his head once he heard the question.
"I think they're still trying to spy on that new girl. Will's still at his appointment, I think, or he's at home. You know he likes to be left alone and all that stuff on these days," Mike said, beginning to ramble as he put the comic book down. They were coming up on the anniversary of when they met Eleven, which Daniel thought might explain why Mike had been visibly upset lately.
Daniel joined him on the couch, leaning against the armrest as the other boy cuddled up to him, resting his head on the curly-haired boy's shoulder.
"I miss her," Mike whispered.
The boy nodded, resting one hand on Mike's dark locks and kissing him on the forehead softly. "I know, I miss her, too."
"You hated her," the Wheeler boy scoffed, but there was a joking undertone to it.
"You're right, because she made my best friends fight and also, she was making a move on you and well, you know why I didn't like that," Daniel joked, earning a small laugh from Mike, "but then she apologized, she flipped that van like a badass, and she saved us. In a way, she's the reason you and me are here now because that Demogorgon would've killed us if she wasn't there."
Mike shivered at the mention of the monster from almost a year ago. "I don't know what I would do if I didn't have you, Danny."
"I know, I'm pretty great," the boy said smugly, earning a light-hearted shove from his boyfriend. Mike sat up, turned so he was looking at Daniel. Mike shook his head disapprovingly before Daniel leaned in and pressed their lips together softly. When he pulled away, he rested his forehead against Mike's. "I remember the first time I kissed you."
"I wish I didn't," Mike mumbled, which shocked Daniel, "I-I was so mean. I pushed you!"
Daniel laughed, "So? You still kissed me back, even if I got a good shove right after. That was what kept me going, you kissed me back."
"I can kiss you back right now," the other boy laughed, kissing his boyfriend again. "Almost a year, ya know?"
"In a month or so," Daniel nodded, "I wanna tell everyone. I wanna tell everyone that you're mine, that I'm the one who gets to comfort you, to hold you tight, to kiss you. I hate that this is the way things are for people like us. I hate it."
