Who Knew - Byler

"To talk? About what?" Mike asked, sitting down next to Will. They were so close their thighs touched and it sent chills down Will's spine. He wasn't expecting the sudden contact.

"About you two," Lucas explained, and Mike tried to not freak the fuck out. He hadn't talked to Will about it yet, but he thought it would be a good idea to keep their relationship secret to avoid any drama and other people from knowing.

"About us two? Why?" Will asked, innocently. "Well, i don't wanna waste my and your time, so i'll be straightforward... Mike, Will likes you" Max said, and Mike tried his best to look surprised.

"Really, Will? You like me?" he asked him, internally begging for his boyfriend to go with it. "What do you mean? I already told you, we are d-"

"Uh, can you guys leave us alone for a second?" Mike interrupted him before he could speak any further. They both nodded and left the room.

The door closed behind them and Will couldn't look any more confused. "Mike? What's going on?" he asked his boyfriend. The guy replied, "Will, i think we should keep our relationship a secret," Mike said, and Will shrugged. Why would he want to do such a thing? Didn't he want to share their happiness with their friends? He sure did.

"Why?" Will asked, in a tiny voice, and Mike smiled at his cuteness. He was truly adorable.

"Just imagine what would happen if we dropped a bomb like that. Everyone would lose it. One second i'm dating Jane and it looks like we're gonna be together forever and the next second i'm gay and dating my best friend. They'd lose it big time," Mike said.

"You're gay?" Will asked.  "Well yeah. I'm dating a guy, aren't i?" Mike answered. The brunette shook his head.

"No, that's not how it works. You can be dating a guy and still like girls," Will explained. Mike scoffed. "Are you some kind of expert in this or what?" he asked.

Will instantly felt bad for speaking like he knew everything. "N-no... sorry, i didn't mean to assume your-" he started, but Mike interrupted him with a deep kiss.

When they pulled apart, Will's face was read. He was still not used to Mike's kisses. They felt like the first time each time.

"It's okay, baby, it's just that this is not what's important right now. But i really think we should try to keep this secret."

Will nodded. Keeping it a secret seemed the most logical option. Mike smiled and gave him a quick peck before they heard knocks on the door.

"Are you guys done in there or what?" Lucas asked. "Yeah, can we talk already?" Max seconded. Will panicked, he wasn't a good liar.

"Wait, what do we tell them?" he nervously asked. "Let's just tell them you confessed to me and i rejected you but we're still friends," he quickly muttered before yelling, "come in!"

Max and Lucas did as they were told and walked in. "So?" Max asked, and crossed her arms.

"I already knew Will likes me," Mike said, trying to sound very convincing. "He confessed to me but i rejected him."

"But we're still best friends!" Will was fast to add. "I didn't have a crush that big on him."

Max and Lucas looked at each other. "Okay. But just be careful with what it may look like" Max said.

"Why is this any of your business anyway?" Mike asked. "We were just worried about you two," the girl said.

"Worried? Why?" Will asked. "Because of Jane. She could get jealous, you know," Lucas explained. Will and Mike looked at each other. Will hadn't really thought about it, but Mike sure had, and he knew that she would hurt if she found out. She was a human being after all, and she had feelings.
