mike stood at the phone, looking at it anxiously.
should i do it? mike asked himself. fuck it, i will. mike slowly picked up the phone and dialed the byers household number. mike had knew the number by heart.
the phone rang a couple times until he heard a voice come on.
"hello?" a soft voice said.
"hey. will, we need to talk." mike sighed.
"mike, we cant—" will had said, but got cut off.
"will, just listen. i'm sorry about everything. i get it, you have the right to be mad at me. be mad at me all you want, but i want to let you know that i really do love you. and i always will. william byers, you are the love of my life." mike had pleaded.
"mike, thank you. but we need sometime away from each other." will finished, ending the call.
mike stood there looking into the silent phone. i messed everything up. everything. mike thought.
mike had started to cry, and slid down his wall, throwing his face into his knees. mike couldn't let this go on. he just couldn't.
-
it had been about two days after he called will. will hadn't talked to him at school or called him. mike needed this pain to stop. so, he decided to go to wills after school.
mike arrived at the door and knocked on it.
"hey mike." joyce smiled.
"hey, i need to talk to will for a little."
"sure thing. will! come here!" joyce called.
"okay!" he called back.
mike stood there for a couple seconds until will came.
"i need to talk to you." mike sighed.
"fine." will replied.
they stepped outside as will closed the door behind them
"i love you, i really do." mike said.
"i know, mike. i kinda thought about what you said the other day."
"yea and?"
"i'm mad at you, but i understand what happened. dustin and lucas tell you to do it?" will asked.
"yea. i'm so sorry, will."
"and i'm guessing you actually started to have feelings for me and got overwhelmed?"
"yea. i really do love you, will. and even if we can become friends and just stay as that, we can." mike suggested.
"i'm not ready to date or anything like that."
"i get it. but maybe we can start over?"
"yea mikey. i'd love that." will giggled, going in to give mike a big hug.
"great, thank you, byers." mike smiled, rubbing his back.
"i love you, thank you for confessing." will smiled, pulling away and waving goodbye to mike.
mike waved back. he turned around and felt that his cheeks were rosy. he was also extremely happy. he didn't think it would go that well.
as mike walked home, he thought about how it went. will called him mikey, and said that he loved him. mike just smiled and realized that maybe will was already warming up to him again.
on the other hand, will had been in love with mike even during the fight. but will couldn't help how cute mike was.
and just like that, the two boys had fallen in love all over again.
