Love makes you crazy - Byler

Chapter 10

"The heart wants what the heart wants"

Those words wouldn't leave Will's mind. Will knew what his heart wanted, and that was Mike. But his mind was still battling against it. The negative thoughts in fact, saying it is bad, not right, disgusting. But his heart would tell another story, saying it is good, that you can't blame yourself for being in love, that it's worth to fight. You could easely tell that Will was in a war between his heart and mind. But it seems that his heart is winning, the brown haired boy was capable to do whatever it takes to make Mike his own. It won't be easy, it sure won't...

That's when he thought about Eleven. If Will succeeds, she will be so heartbroken! And Will knows how it feels, to be heartbroken. Because he feels this way all the time! He didn't want that for El, she doesn't deserve that. But did Will deserve to be heartbroken? Doesn't he deserve happiness too? To be loved by someone?

Will was really struggeling with his feelings and thoughts. When suddenly the idea of having sleepover at his house on July 4th crossed his mind. He knew it probably wasn't a great idea to have Mike come over. It will only make his feelings for him stronger. And that was what Will's mind was telling him, but again, his heart was winning and his mind didn't have a big impact on him right now.

He saw his walkie talkie laying on his nightstand, next to his bed. So he grabbed it and sat down on his bed. He took a deep breath and practised in his head how he was going to start the converstion, as he was getting more nervous of each second that went by! A normal boy wouldn't be that nervous to ask his best friend to hang out. But so far Will knows, he wasn't a 'normal' boy at all.

He then pulled the machine closer to his mouth and started talking.

"Mike? A-are you there... Over."

It was quiet for about 10 seconds, Will almost wanted to turn the walkie talkie off and try again later, but then he heard some cracks from the thing in his hands and he heard that oh so familiar voice.

"Hey Will! Whats'up buddy? Over."

Okay, now this was the time, to ask Mike to come over. Will was ready, well... he thinks he is.

"I uhm.. I remembered what I wanted to ask you.. back at your house.. over"

Will was starting to shake now.

"Oh shoot!"

"Uhm, m-maybe uh you can... Come o-over a-after the f-fun fair... O-on 4th Ju-Ju...-ly uh... If y-you want... O-o-ov-ver."

Will was shaking bad right now, but he was kinda proud he managed to get that question out.

"Will, can you repeat that? I don't know if it's the walkie talkie or you, because I hear a lot of stuttering and I cant understand it well. Over."

Was he being for real? Does Will have to repeat that whole question again? Will groaned but had no other choice than ask it again.

"I said i-if you m-maybe could co-come o-over after t-the fun fair on... on 4th July... I-if you want t-to. O-over." Will said again, this time stuttering lesser.

The line was quiet, and Will got more stressed because of the silence. What if Mike didn't want to? What if Mike already had something planned with El? What if Mike-

"Sorry my mom called me upstairs to do something, but I'm back now. What was your question again, Byers? Over."

Will couldn't believe it. Was he being serious?? He already had a lot of trouble with asking him that and he didn't hear it again??

"Mike are you serious right now?!"
Will snapped, not caring that he didn't end with 'over', but immediately regretting snapping like that. He didn't want Mike to think he was mad at him.

But then he heard chuckling, obviously Mike's chuckling. Which made the smaller boy frown his eyebrows.

"I'm just messing around with you Will" he snickered.

"Huh?" Will responded.

"Ofcourse I want to come over after the fun fair! Just the way you were stuttering so bad was absolutely adorable!"

Will felt his cheeks heat up, did he really just say that? A-adorable? He thought it was adorable?

"I-I mean uh it's uh it was funny! Yes funny! Haha" Mike quickly said afterwards.

Will didn't know what to response, he was just so confused by Mike's comment. So he stayed quiet.

"Will? A-are you still there?... Over"

Will came back to reality, he dragged the walkie talkie to his mounth again and said: "Yes I'm here uh m-my mom came in and asked uh to help her, so I-I have to go but anyways, I-I'll see you at the fun fair then? ...Over."

"Yes ofcourse! Can't wait Will, Over and out."

Will turned the machine off and gently placed it back on his nightstand. Still shocked of Mike words.

"It was absolutely adorable."

Did Mike really think he was adorable? Or... Will was really confused. He then remembered how nervous Mike got and quickly corrected himself by saying that he meant it as funny. But Will didn't believe that, obviously.

Maybe... Maybe Mike really thought it was adorable... And maybe he did think Will was cute in some way... Which could mean that... He maybe could make a chance!!

Will's lips crawled upwards into a bright smile. Mike Wheeler called him adorable and his day couldn't be better because of that! He really should tell this to Robin, he thought. A flashback of the girl giving him her phone number appeared in Will's mind. He quickly grabbed the small paper out of his pocket and rushed towards the phone that hung against the wall.

He typed the numbers in and waited to hear that familiar, happy voice. And so he did hear her voice after a few seconds.

"Hello! Robin speaking"

"Hey Robin! It's Will"

"Ohmyhod hi Will! Whats'up?"

"Uhmm..." Will blushed and started fiddling with the string of the phone.

"I-is it normal f-for a boy to call his best friend a-adorable...?"

And after that he heard a scream from the other side of the line that almost made him deaf. ;)
