Trigger Warnings: Mild profanity

Will's POV:

After Mike and I talk about the most random things. I don't really pay attention because I'm too busy lining up the freckles on his pale face. Suddenly Mike's eyebrows move together and his lips press together.

"What's wrong?" Mike's words come out in a whisper.

"N-nothing." I stammer. "I-I just zoned out a b-bit."

Mike's face forms a smile. "It's fine. Don't worry."

A forced smile reaches my lips for a split second and then my face rests again. I watch as Mike's hand reaches to my head. His fingers brush through my hair and I feel my face get hot. He suddenly pulls his hand down. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" I was already missing his hand in my hair.

"I just-" I cut Mike off by pulling his face to mine. Our lips brush and our noses bump. I feel his smile on my lips. I pull away from him slowly. I open my eyes to see his cheeks, red with blush and a shy smile on his lips. He rests his hand on the back of my neck and pulls me in again.

I hear a knock on my door. I quickly pull away from Mike and sit comfortably. My mom comes in after a few seconds.

"Hey boys. I'm going over to the store. I have to pick up a last minute shift. Are you guys gonna be fine for a few hours?"

"Y-yeah." I stutter.

"Okay! See ya!" My mom shuts the door behind her and her footsteps fade.

"So I'm getting the impression that you haven't told her yet." Mike's voice draws me back to his sharp jawline.

"What gave it away?" We both laugh until I get lost in his chocolaty eyes. I pull in and press my lips against his. I pull away to see his eyes, glossy from the light's reflection. Mike laughs and rests his eyes on mine.

"What's so funny?"

"Just that it was too short." Mike leans in and lays his lips on mine. I smile into him and place my hand on the back of his head, moving my fingers through his smooth, curly hair.

Suddenly I a loud knock on the door. I pull away from Mike. "I'll be right back."

I smile and can't stop as I walk down the hall to the door. I open the door to see Max and El. Both with crossed arms.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

Max's eyes light up. "Just stopping by."

Max walks in and walks straight to the kitchen. El follows right behind.

I feel rage fill my entire body. "I never said you could come in!"

Max opens the fridge. "So?"

"What the hell is going on?" I see as Mike has entered the room.

Both girls laugh. "Home alone?" Max's tone seems to be sing songy.

"Why would that be of concern?" I ask as my arms cross.

Suddenly I hear the garage door roll open. Max's smile expands. Mike looks directly at me. I see his eyes shine in the dim light bulbs. I hear the door open. We all stare at my mom as she comes inside.

"Hey guys! I didn't know everyone was coming over."

"Neither did I." I mumble to myself.

"Actually we came over to see you." Max walks over to my mom.

"Why?" My mind is just as confused as Mike and I.

"Actually we have something to tell you." I notice El is looking down at the floor. Almost as if Max dragged her here. But why?

"Okay." My mom sits down in the chair at the kitchen counter.

"It's just going to be easier to say it." Max looks around and laughs. "Your son is gay."

I look at Max. I feel pain through out my whole body. I don't know what to say or feel or do. I just stand there and stare at the person who just took away my opportunity to tell my mom.
