‼️⚠️there are some slurs in this chapter ‼️⚠️Mike got home and as soon as he did he went to his room, he didn't want to be having his q*eer crisis inform of everyone. Will was his best friend, and now Mike liked him! He never even realized, of course with all the sparks and nerves that shot up when ever Will was around he should have known. Mike felt even worse about it now that he knew Will had liked him, he would have given anything for Will to still like him, but Will has a boyfriend now,Andrew, god even the name made mike bubble with jealousy. He tried to remember when there feedings started and oh god, right after the upside down that was year ago how could he have even not realized. Mike remember all of his feelings now and now he could pin them.
He remember the night they "found Will" the absolute shatter in his heart when he saw the lights and the bag, he remembered sobbing himself to sleep that night.
He remembered the kindergarten story, how he told Will how good it was to become his friend, he never told him why he decided to approach him though. Mike thought Will was pretty from the moment he meant him, thats why he went to him and hey they became friends.
He remembered " crazy together" , that's his and Will's thing, a promise he forgot. He remembers telling Will that to calm him down and he meant it he would have meant anything if it brought Will peace, he would have done anything.
Then he remembered when they got older.
He remembers the snow ball and the same bubbly feeing coming up but distracting it with El. He remember almost kissing Will in the rain during there fight, god he should have. He remembered, his feelings, he was nervous around will especially when Will was close to him .
He shouldn't have these feelings, He wasn't a q*eer, a fairy, they were bad. Plus he liked El, he liked girls, you couldn't like both, could you?Will went to his room and cried when they left, he hated saying goodbye and he hating fighting with Mike and he had just done both. He heard a knock at his door " Will it's me Johnathan" Will opened the door still hiccuping in tears " hey what happened" Will couldn't explain so he just shook his head " ohhhh okay" . He spend that night sobbing with Johnathan listening and then after he left, Will kept sobbing.
The next morning Will still felt guilty , so he called straight to voicemail. to be honest if he was Mike he wouldn't answer either.Mikes phone rang he didn't have the Will to answer it, he still felt guilty.Then his mom called him, "What mom?" He asked slightly annoyed couldn't he wallow in peace " Joyce and her family are moving back!" Mikes world stopped.He was gonna see Will in a month as his mother told him, he was gonna see him and tell him , boyfriend or not.
