Heart Strings

Butterflies

Will always get butterflies around Mike. Mike just himself makes Will go crazy. That Halloween night, he sure did go crazy. Mike even promise "if you go crazy, we go crazy together?" "yea..crazy together" Will smiled as he remember that moment.  Him and Mike was heading to school together.

Will blushed as he felt Mike's hand brushing slightly against his. Will looked at Mike and he seemed focus on what's ahead of him. Will looked away quickly before he can be caught and kept walking to school. He focus every step he took, observing carefully. Mike and Will got to school and Mike went his separate way. Will felt something was wrong. Was it because the dance is tonight? or someone. Will shook his head and went to his first class. 

After school Will went home and got dressed. He felt more confident with his sexuality to he decided to wear a dress. It wasn't one of those big dresses more like a simple short dress. Will felt a little insecure with his arms showing but it brushed it off.  His brother Jonathan dropped Will off at the school and left. Will slowly and carefully went into the school. Soon as he walked in, he felt a pair of eyes on him. Maybe more, with this horrible feeling Will went over to get a drink of water, but he didn't know Troy was following. When Will was sipping his water, Troy pushed him to the ground, kicking his sides and stomach. Will cried in pain and tears rolled down his cheek. "what a fag. wearing a dress." Troy went away and Will crawled under the bleachers. He cried and clenched his aching body. He heard someone crawling to him, hugging him softly. It was Mike. He got  butterflies in his stomach and hugged Mike tightly, hurting from the pain. Mike pulled away and looked down at the small hurt boy. 

Mike picked up Will carefully and brought him to the grassy fields, holding Will in his arms. He whispered in Will's ear softly, "I'm sorry I wasn't there, I'm sorry I didn't stop him. You got hurt and I couldn't been your hero. I did nothing." Mike teared up and Will looked at him.

 "You couldn't do anything. It's ok." Will put his hand on his cheek. Mike smiled softly and kissed his cheek softly. Will blushed brightly as the butterflies flew around. 

 "You looked cute to in that dress by the way." Mike smiled and Will felt his face red as a cherry. Will looked away and softy said thanks.  Mike pulled Will closer to his body, rubbing his back. Will could hear his heart beating and slowly fell asleep to the beat of his best friends heart.

The next day was the weekend and Will and Mike had a sleepover. Will was drawing at least 12 o'clock at night. Mike sleeping, snoring softly making Will adore him more. He drew a heart, with rainbow colors and to boys holding hands. He imagine him and Mike being that but life doesn't always be that. Will's tears rolled down knowing Mike is in love with a girl. Not him. Will wrote a note and went downstairs for a snack.. Mike woke up later and looked for Will. He picked up the note on the ground and circled a word. He went down to find Will fast asleep. He grabbed a blanket and cuddled the small boy.

He whispered softly in his ear, "Goodnight babyboy." Will smiled softly in his sleep.
