"Mom?" Will asked his mom.

"Yes honey?" she replied sweetly.

Will knew it was time to come out to his mom, he wanted to do it, he knew his mom will support him and not judge him, he knew it. And he finally he got the confidence to sit in front of her and do it.

"Whats wrong?" Joyce asked after a while, not seeing the brunette boy elaborate and noticing how he held an nervous expression.

"I just I w-wanted to talk to you." the teenage boy stutters out, looking anywhere but his mom and found himself slightly digging his nails into his palms but soon stopped.

"Yeah of course, what is it? Is everything okay?" Joyce asked with concern, millions of thoughts about what Will was about to tell her running in her mind.

"Yeah it's just, I wanted to tell you something, is something I've wanted to tell you l-long time ago" Will replied, stumbling in his own words, he was so nervous.

"Will, you can tell me anything sweetie you know it." She said trying to look at Will in the eyes, placing a hand on top of his to show him that whatever it was it was okay..

"I know it's just d-difficult" he said finally turning to see his mom while biting his lip slightly.

"Will relax It's okay" she said placing her hand now on Will's shoulder, which was shaking a little but soon stopped.

"Mom I-" He couldn't hold it, he was about to cry, he bit his bottom lip trying to suppress sobs.

"Will, honey calm down okay? Just breath" Joyce told Will, he looked really nervous and with watery eyes.

The brunette boy took a deep and shaky breath.

"Better?" she asked, giving her son a small smile, who just nodded as an answer.

"Now, whats that important thing you wanted to tell me?" Joyce asked, rubbing the smaller's shoulder in a comfort manner.

"Mom I-I-I l-like, I like b-boys" Will finally spits out, after all this years, he finally told his mom the truth, he could already feel a big weight getting off his chest, but he started crying again.

"I'm sorry" he cried out.

"Hey shh it's okay, there's nothing to be sorry about, relax, you're still my son and I still love you and we all still love you okay? It's okay." She said pulling will into a tight hug, who hugged her back, now crying against her shoulder.

That's all he wanted to hear, that it was okay.

Mike and Will planned to tell their friends about them, they agreed they had to before Will comes back to Derry, so after Will had that talk with his mom and after running to Mike to tell him about it, they called the other party members to come to Mike's, so now Dustin and Lucas were sitting on the couch of Mike's basement and Mike and Will were both sitting on a chair, in front of their friends.

"So what did you two need to tell us?" Dustin finally asked, breaking the awkward silence between them four.

"Where's Max and El?" Mike asked out of no where, ignoring Dustin's previous question.

"They're not coming, Eleven told me they had 'important things to do' , I saw them at the mall earlier." Will answered, shrugging a little.

"Well that's a shame but Max will eventually know." Mike said, turning his attention to the brunette boy sitting next to him.

"Know what?" Dustin asked confused, just to be ignored again.

"I'm pretty sure I know what you two are going to say." Lucas said with a little grin and leaning against the couch.

"What are they going to say?" Dustin asked to the boy next to him, but then again, he got ignored.

"Yes Lucas you know about this but-" the smaller one of the friemd group started but got interrupted by an angry curly haired boy.

"Guys!" Dustin interrupted. Then everyone turned their attention to him.

"Sorry" the curly darked haired boy apologized.

"Now, what do you want me to know?" Dustin asked, more calmed this time.

"Should I-" Mike said turning to look at Will for reassurance.

"Please" Will silently begged, telling Mike to start.

"Alright, the thing is that, that-" Mike stuttered, struggling with letting out the proper words.

"We're dating!" Will suddenly spits out, making everyone turn his attention to him, all in surprise.

"Woah what? wait...what?!"  Dustin asked confused, he never knew what was going on around him.

"I knew it!" Lucas shouted excitedly.

"You knew about this?" Dustin asked looking at Lucas in desbelief.

"Well, yeah kinda" Lucas simply answered.

"Okay guys now I feel like I know nothing about anyone." Dustin said now looking at the Mike and Will in front of him.

"Probably because you're always with Robin and Steve" Lucas replied.

"Well at least they don't ignore me!" Dustin exclaimed looking to Lucas again.

"They don't ignore me" Lucas lashed out in a high pitched voice.

"Okay not now guys, this is something serious" the taller of them finally said, making the other two stop their argument.

"Sorry" Dustin and Lucas replied in unison.

Before a long conversation between the four of them, explaining everything better it was finally time to get to the conclusion.

"The point is, we wanted to tell you guys this before me, Eleven and my mom go back to Derry." Will said in a sad tone, he wanted to stay in Hawkins, specifically after knowing Mike reciprocate his feelings.

"Oh don't worry I won't tell anyone" Dustin said to the two boys in front of him, giving them a friendly smile.

"Yeah me either" Lucas joined.

"Thanks guys" Will said, feeling relieved and thankful for having friends in who he could trust, friends he could talk to, friends that cared about him.
