Someone shook Mike's arm lightly. The boy was sleeping, resting his head in the wall as Joyce desperately tried to wake him up. "Mike," she muttered. The boy only shook his head and kept on sleeping.

"You can see Will now," she muttered in his ear, and he shot up hitting Joyce's head with his own. "Ouch," the woman complained, Hopper smirking lightly.

"Sorry!" Mike said, running to Will's room. He stopped before the closed door and breathed heavily, smiling. He finally opened the door and ran toward Will's bed.

The boy smiled lightly while Mike hugged him tightly. "It's okay, Mike," he said, hugging him back. "I didn't go anywhere." Mike pulled away. "I was scared, you idiot," he said, pretending to be mad at Will.

"Scared? Why?" Will asked, and Mike widened his eyes. "I held you in my arms when you were unconscious. Of course I was scared. I thought something had happened to you," he replied.

"You should be used to it by now," Will joked, but Mike stopped smiling. "Don't joke about that" he said, with a deep voice. "I had the worst time of my life when you were suffering," he assured, and Will gulped.

"S-Sorry," he stuttered, and Mike smiled at the boy's cuteness. "I didn't mean to sound so serious," Mike apologized, "but really, don't joke about it." Will nodded slowly.

Mike started massaging his neck with his hand. It hurt so much. "Does your neck hurt?" Will asked, and Mike nodded. "Oh, that's too bad. Why?" Mike sat down in the chair next to Will's bed saying, "I guess I slept in a bad position."

"Don't tell me you slept here," Will said. "Well, of course I did," Mike replied. Will shook his head like saying, ugh this boy, but inside he was extremely happy. Mike had slept here.

"Come," he suddenly said, completely shy. When Mike looked at him with a confused face, he patted the bed and repeated, "Come." Mike smiled lightly. He got up and lied down next to Will in the bed, trying to use as less space as possible.

"You're falling from the bed, Mike," Will said, and pulled the boy closer to him. He was surprised by his own confidence. Mike turned and faced Will, which caused the boy to blush. They were now face to face, but Will couldn't stand Mike's eyes on his, so he ended up turning around, showing his back to Mike.

The boy had slept very little that night, and the bed felt so comfortable compared to the rough chair, so he fell asleep quickly, Will breathing heavily. He was starting to fall asleep too when he suddenly felt Mike's hand in his waist. He gulped while feeling the hand go up until it reached Will's arm.

Mike's hand started going down Will's arm until it reached the boy's hand. Will didn't hesitate to grab it and interlock his finger with Mike's. he for sure wasn't gonna sleep now, unlike the boy holding his hand, who was sound asleep.

A while later, he heard some familiar voices outside the door. They were Jane's and Hopper's, and they were approaching the room slowly. Will was fast to react. He got up and grabbed his clothes that were in a chair. He ran to the bathroom and started changing as fast as he could.

When he was finishing putting his pants on, he heard some knocking on the door. "Will?" he heard. Of course, it was Jane. He took the hospital gown off and threw it to the floor, quickly putting his t-shirt on as he heard the door slowly open.

He flushed the toilet even though he hadn't even peed an opened the door only to find a confused Jane staring at Mike. She quickly turned around to face Will and the boy smiled at her. "Hi, Jane," he said, sitting down in a chair by the bed.

"Uh, hi, Will," Jane said. She felt extremely uncomfortable, not really knowing what to do or say. Instead, she just stared at Mike with a confused expression. Why was he sleeping in Will's bed?

"Oh," Will said, "he was really tired and his neck hurt, so I let him sleep in my bed while I sat in this chair," he lied, smiling innocently. Jane then reacted. She didn't come here to talk about Mike.

"Right. Um, well, what I came here for was to apologize," the girl started. "I don't know what happened to me. I was so angry because I felt like Mike had lied to me, I didn't even know what I was doing, I was just taking my anger out, and I didn't mean to hurt you, and-"

"It's okay, Jane," Will said, getting up and grabbing her arm in reassurance. "I know you didn't mean to hurt me. and you apologized. That's enough." Jane sniffed. The boy was such an angel. "I'm really really sorry," she said, and Will let go of her arm.

"I said it's okay, Jane. I promise," Will said, smiling, and Jane smiled back weakly. She still felt bad as fuck. Suddenly, the door opened and Max, Lucas and Dustin rushed in. "Will!" Max screamed, in happiness, and hugged the boy tightly.

When they broke apart, Lucas and Dustin hugged him too, and they were both visibly happy that the boy was okay. All the noise made Mike wake up.

"What is she doing here?" he asked, looking at Jane while he sat down in the bed. Everyone turned to look at Mike. They all had confused looks except for Jane and Will. "Mike," Will said, but Mike didn't listen to him. "What are you doing here?" he asked Jane, the girl with a hurt look in her face.

"Mike what are you doing?" Max asked. She couldn't believe the boy was being like this to his girlfriend. The party still didn't know he'd broken up with her. "I'm asking her what she's doing here," the boy replied.

"Dude, don't talk like that to your girlfriend," Lucas said, because Mike was using an aggressive tone. "She's not my girlfriend anymore," Mike said, and Max's, Lucas' and Dustin's jaws dropped.

"What?" Max asked, looking at Jane, and she saw the girl was tearing up. "Since when?" Mike glared at her. "That doesn't matter right now. What matters right now is why she's here," Mike repeated.

"To visit her friend," Dustin replied. "Obviously."

"She doesn't really have the right to visit her friend to the in the hospital when she's the one that brought him here, does she?"
