Will x Mike: Dreams (Byler)

DRAMA AT THE SNOWBALL

The ax smashed into the wall on the little TV, playing the Shining making Will jump. "Jesus, Will," Dustin smirked.
"Give him a break," said Mike. Mike was always protective of Will.
Will glanced over at Mike, and then to Dustin and Lucas, watching The Shining on the floor together.
"No, it's ok. I'm just Jumpy," Will said, trying not to sound weak around his crush. Oh why did he have a crush on him?! He knew being gay was wrong, but the thought of kissing his soft lips just seemed so right. And even if it were right, Mike was clearly in love with Jane. Or so Will thought....

Mike carefully ate his popcorn and thought about Jane. She wouldn't be able to attend school or even visit Mike for at least a year. But was Jane really the one? Sometimes-and was weird, but Mike would have dreams about Will before he met Eleven, and lately the dreams were returning.
Dreams of Will sitting on the edge of his bed looking over at him with his green eyes. Reaching over to touch his arm, and whispering things into his ear. But the dreams usually turned into nightmares, where the Demigorgan would snatch Will away and leave Mike screaming in the dark of the upside down.
Was it possible to love both a boy and a girl? Mike had loved girls all his life but Will...Will was something different.

Will just wanted to be alone with Mike sometimes. In the AV room, his basement, his bedroom, wherever. Just to have Mike see him for a minute.
Will got up called his mom on Mike's phone.
"Mom, I have to talk to you, can you pick me up?"

Tomorrow was the Snowball

Will's mom had told him there is nothing wrong with being gay.
"It's ok to love whoever you want to love as long as you treat them with respect," she had said.
When Will told her, he couldn't help but break down and cry.
"But I hate it! Mom, they all make fun of me, and no one knows I like boys! I wanna die...." He chocked on his words.
His mom gave him a hug, and told him to get some rest for the dance tomorrow.

"You go to that Snowball tonight and make Mike yours," Joyce told him the next day.
He had wiped the tears off his fancy clothing to wear to the winter dance, and got up.
"Then show me how to dance," Will said smiling.
Unfourtanly, things didn't go as planned at the snow ball. A girl had asked Will to dance even before Jane came. He looked at Mike, and his heart sank as Mike whispered "say yes!" And Will had no choice with everyone judging them. Will was on the verge of tears looking over at Mike, giving Jane a kiss.
Will suddenly felt Dizzy.
"Uh, good dance, I gotta go..." He stuttered.
"God! You are a homo aren't you, zombie boy?! Can't even dance with a girl!" Will ran outside through the fire exit and Mike saw.
"Janey, I gotta go see Will," Mike said.
"W-what?"
Mike ran to the exit.
Will stumbled down on the ground in the dark. He cried so hard he couldn't make a sound, but tears rushed down his face like rivers.
"Will! Are you ok?"
Will wiped his face, and looked down.
"I'm fine...I just don't feel good," he said shortly.
Mike sighed. He looked beautiful in the moon light. Mike knew what was going on. Mike always had a feeling Will didn't like girls.
Mike sat down next to Will, and looked at the Moon.
"Its been so crazy lately, I know," Mike said softly.
"I...just...It's..." Will struggled.
"I know you're not into girls," Mike said looking for a reaction.
Will looked over at Mike. Mike melted seeing Will's tear smeared face.
"Sorry, I look like a mess..." Will began.
"No, you look cute," Mike said.
Mike put his hand to his face, leaning in.
Will closed his eyes, waiting for their lips to touch.
So cute," Mike muttered, right as Dustin flew the door open.
"There you are! The dance ended Jane said you guys were outside ," said Dustin with Lucas.
"You still on for the sleepover?" Mike asked Will.
"Y-yeah," Will said, his voice shaking.
