"Can't I be happy"

We lived

"What Mike?" Will whispered back freaking out had he said something out loud about liking him.Was Mike gonna tell him to get out of his room, that he didn't want some queer there with him especially one that liked him? "do you wanna join me up here i wanna tell you something" Will was curious as to what it was so he arose and hopped onto the bed "what's up?" he asked confused Mike was acting strange." well i'm kinda nervous to tell you I don't now how you will react" Will leaned forward towards Mike and put a hand on his, it made sparks shoot up Wills whole body frame " I will be here no matter what, Crazy Together remember?" Mike breathed in " I think I might be gay?" Will tried to gauge his shocked reaction as much as he could he didn't want Mike to think he wasn't happy with him for being gay. " Or somewhere in between or something like you can like both guys and girls if that's possible ?" Mike continued to ramble. "Mike that's okay,you can like both" Will said softly Mike sighed in relief. "Is there anything else you need to tell me?" Will was proud of Mike for sharing his truth but he could still tell something was wrong " No " Mike said barely above a whisper.Will went to go back to bed disappointed for some reason, just because he likes guys doesn't mean he likes you Will.He went to turn to get off the bed when something gripped his hand pulling him back in front of Mike " actually there is one thing".

Mike heart was pounding, he was pretty sure he wasn't breathing and that he might pass out now was the time, it was time to tell Will his true feelings. " there's this guy who made me realize I kinda like guys, He's into guys too and maybe i should tell him" He could see something in Wills eyes, it was pain,he couldn't understand why." Tell me about him?" Will asked  nothing like gushing about your crush to your crush so he had to make it vague " Well um he's really sweet and he makes me feel all bubbly inside when he smiles or anything.When he's passionate about something his eyes get all determined and shiny especially when doing or talking about it, and well the truth is" Mike stopped he was gonna tell him, Will signed for him to continue, Mike was sweating " the truth is... that guy is you Will, I like you" Wills mouth went wide," I know you just got out of a breakup and you like another guy" " uh huh" Will nodded along " So i totally understand if you dont return my feelings" Mike said rambling on and was Will getting closer? " But i just realized that i have liked you for a long time and I really had to tell yo-" Will was an inch away from Mikes face eyes wide looking at Mike, he nodded and Mike nodded back and then Will kissed him. This kiss was like nothing he had every felt before, Sparks flew the moment Will touched his lips  and he's stomach did flips of joy.This spark was what he was missing, he had never felt it with anyone before and if he did at least not like this. Mike went into overdrive he could feel everything, he could feel Will extremely soft lips on his, how were they so damn soft? He could feel Will hand move from his hands to his cheeks holding him, he could taste Wills mint chapstick, He could feel his hand capturing Wills waist pulling Will closer as the other hand rested on the back of Will's neck. All he could feel was Will and he's was fine with that, Will pulled away and Mike looked at him " i like you too" Will whispered his forehead on Mike there face inches from each other. Mike was rejoicing inside his head he had gotten Will Byers, the smartest, cutest, and best person in the world, he made a promise to himself right then and  there, he would never let Will go. Mike pulled Will back in for a kiss and they separated " as much as i love doing this we should go to bed, we can continue this tomorrow, swear " Mike said  to Will and Will nodded going to settle back into his sleeping bag. The last question the crossed Wills mind that night was one and one only " Can't I Be Happy?"

"Yes, I finally am"
