"I want to tell you" Will said while holding Mike's hand.

The boys made their way to Will's home by bike, each one in one, since Eleven told them they could use hers, she was going to walk home with Max anyways.

The way was pretty silent, but it was comfortable, peaceful, and it gave time to the boys to clear their thoughts.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to Will" Mike said softly, rubbing his boyfriend's hand with his thumb "I want to" Will said confidently "Okay" Mike replied.

Second Week Of School
"We need to do something" Beverly said "We do?" Richie asked "Yeah" the redhead said and then walked towards the 2 boys and Henry.

"Hey fuckers!" Bev shouted "Why don't you leave this kids asshole" Beverly's attitude made Henry even more mad so he approached the group of losers violently.
After a while the losers could finally make Bowers leave, some bruises and wounds were the coast but they were worth it.

"Y-you o-okay?" Bill asked "Yeah" Eleven answered and Will just nodded, still a little scared and shaky "It's okay bud, Henry is an asshole" Richie said noticing the small boy panicking who just nodded once again "You can hang out with us if you want, we're all losers after all" Eddie said.

Present
"And yeah, Henry is an asshole and he still 'teases' us but we're together so he never actually wins" Will said.

"Will...if something like that happens you tell me, or your mom, or the principal" Mike said softly, he wasn't actually mad, just a little worried but he tried to look as calm as possible.

"First of all, principals don't do shit, and I didn't wanted to worry my mom...Eleven told her anyways" Will said unbothered "And?" "Like I said, principals don't do shit" Will said laughing a bit "Well, still, you need to tell me whatever happens to you, you can trust me...you don't have to say anything else that you've been hiding from me?" "No"

Mike raised eyebrows at him "No, I'm serious I don't-" a thought suddenly snapped Will's head.

"Maybe" Will said with a smirk "What is it?" Mike asked, almost panicking, "You know...it's something I've been thinking for a while now, not my proudest thought" Will said raising an eyebrow at Mike and leaning closer to him "Will?" Mike gulped, Will placed a finger on the tallers lips to shush him.

"We haven't actually make out you know?" the smaller one whispered on Mike's ear wich make the taller one shiver "Y-you w-wanna-" Mike stuttered nervously "Only if you want to, you are cute when you get nervous you know?" Will said in a noticeable softer tone, he pulled himself away from the taller boy, he didn't want to rush things with Mike, specifically when this one started to noticeably get nervous, Will placed a quick kiss on his boyfriend's cheek which made this last one blush.

"Back to the topic, I think there's actually something I want to tell you" Will said "What is it?" Mike asked concerned.

"I just- I don't know, sometimes I get
j-jealous" Will answered wich make Mike raise his eyebrows confused and suddenly started to think what he could do that could make his small boyfriend jealous, the panic didn't last long due to Will speaking again.

"It's not you, but, I thought the distance relationship would be easier and- god it isn't!, the thought of probably loosing you because you can get bored of me or start to forget that I exist just because I can't be there, the thought of someone taking my place pisses me off a lot, which is absurd because I know you'll never do something like that to me." Will grabbed Mike's hands, rubbing them a little bit and then turned his gaze to the taller boy.

"Would you?" he asked, his big brown eyes shining without needing light, his eyebrows softly frowned and an extremely expectant look which made Mike melt "No" he said softly and almost in a whisper, he then placed one of his hand on Will's cheek "I could never do that to you" he said while rubbing the smallers cheek with his thumb.

Will was nearly crying, not sure why, but he had this weird feeling on his stomach that appears whenever he's with Mike, something that somehow made him feel safe and free and loved.

He had been hiding his feelings for Mike for way too long, it hurted him, almost a stinging feeling, he didn't let himself fall completely for Mike, he knew it wasn't right, that Mike would never reciprocate his feelings and he'll just end heartbroken, but he couldn't stop himself, he fully fell for Mike and the stinging pain became worst, he finally let himself fully fall for him, he thought that would end the constant pain, but it didn't, it obviously just make it worse, he had to stop it, that's when he asked for an advice from Lucas and well... then everything started, Will felt an enormous freedom that he never felt before, the heaviest weight he had been carrying with him through all this years was finally gone, and it felt amazing, it was now finally replaced by love, he now knew he could show Mike how much he love him without feeling weird or guilty, and the best part, Mike loved him too.

Mike pulled Will into a hug, this last one hide his face on Mike's neck and let out a loud sigh "Love you" the smaller one said against his boyfriend's neck "Love you too" Mike replied.

Meanwhile Eleven and Max were taking a walk down the street, making their way to Eleven's.

"So, this girl, what was her name? Beaverly?" Max asked "Beverly" the taller one corrected "Oh, sorry, so...when I'm gonna meet her?" Max apologized and then asked "We can tomorrow, it'll be just girls and boys, you and me with Beverly and Mike and Will with the others" Eleven replied.

"Oh cool" Max said and held his girlfriends hand and squeezed it a little which made Eleven melt and inocently leaned to kiss the smaller girl on the lips.

"Hey!" a young teenager shouted from the distance "You cant do that" he shouted and make the girls turn their gazes to him, the boy was older than them and had a mullet  "This is not a place for stupid fags" Henry shouted.
