California boys

Summary:

Mike goes to visit his girlfriend for 2 weeks to Lenora Hills California, sure he's visiting his best friend too but according to El's letters Mike might have some competition on the best friend department since Will apparently has been partying with a dude named Dave, Mike cannot picture Will at a party.

Or

Will Byers gets to be the rowdy queer teenager he deserves to be.

Work Text:

Will was absolutely regretting last night.

Damn Dave and his charisma that managed to drag Will to Julia Martin's party, not thay he didn't enjoyed it, he did he always loved partying with Dave, specially since they went to what Dave liked to call "pink triangle parties" which meant queer friendly parties where you would not get beat to a pulp if you happened to wink at a guy (or a girl).

But now he was sitting on an airport at 7:30 am with one of the world's worst hangovers "You hanging in there Byers?" Dave whispers a chuckle lingering his voice, he had come along because Will needed him there this hangover and seeing Mike at the same time was gonna kill him if he had no anchor "I hate you" Will says getting a proper chuckle out of the tall guy "love you too man" Dave says.

Will met Dave only a month into the school year, he was taller than Will by a considerable 3 inches he had hair that was a bit bellow shoulder length it was blonde and rowdy with hairspray, he had pretty much scouted Will spotting him and El eating together and sitting down besides him like it was the most natural thing ever, and he became Will's first California friend.

It was like Dave could feel Will was different, the knowing smiles he would give him freaked him out at the start until one day he tucked his sleeve inside out and showed Will a pink triangle stitched on the inside, Will had been confused at first and like reading his mind Dave explained it to him like he was five. It was a queer symbol, He was gay and he had trusted Will to tell him because his gut told him Will was too, he wasn't wrong and they became really close after that.

Dave was a black hole that swallowed Will in a matter of weeks, Will had even trusted him enough to tell him about the upside down and what's he's been through, imagine his shock when Dave believed him!

Apparently that was the push Dave needed to decide that now that Will was away from Hawkins and all that chaos he deserved a normal life, he deserved to be a dumb teenager, and dumb he was, he had a hangover to prove it.

"Good God please tell me that's not him" Dave whispers spotting the messy black curls Will seemed to drool over, Will looked up to see what Dave meant and what he saw was the worst, it was Mike, but Mike was not the problem no, whatever the hell he was wearing was the problem he had stupid sun glasses, a bright as hell orange open shirt that contrasted horribly with his blue shirt blue shorts, flip flops and a fucking floral print bucket hat "your taste is shit" Dave whispers "I promise he doesn't always look like this" Will whispers as El rushes to hug and kiss Mike and its like a punch to the gut, or maybe it's the alcohol, but if he's being honest it's probably both.

Mike gives El her flowers then looks up only to frown a bit, there's a blonde guy next to Will and Will looks like he didn't sleep and he sees blonde dude hold back laughter when Will gets up and tumbles a bit "hey Will!" Mike says going to greet his best friend but instead of hugging him full front like he had thought he was gonna do during the flight he did an awkward one arm side hug, why did he do that?

Will was clearly confused by it but he lightly shook his head and motioned to the blonde guy next to him "Mike Dave, Dave Mike" Will says "nice to meet you man Will has said a lot about you" Dave says and Mike shakes his hand even if there's a tingling feeling on the back of his head for some reason "I've heard about you in Eeeee-Jane's letters, I'm glad Will made new friends" he wasn't, he really really wasn't and he felt like asshole for it but hey, Mike could be an asshole he could forgive himself for that

"let's go! We've got to go to the roller rink" El said and they got dropped off there by Johnathan and a dude that smelled hard-core like weed who mike learned was named Argyle.

"I come here all the time for parties, is a big party place" El says and Dave cannot contain the snort that escapes him, Sweet Jane? On a party? Yeah right.

That was some bullshit, Will was the party guy after Dave dragged him from his shell but Jane? That wasn't a shell that was a high security metal cube, he tried to guide her to have fun he really did but some people just don't do parties and Jane was some people. Will elbows Dave but he can see the smile trying to creep up his face and sure Dave can roll with this, what's a little white lie to a boyfriend that dresses like shit.

"Yeah this place is huge on parties" Dave says and Mike cant help but frown, that had to be a lie it had to be, Mike had seen that little exchange between him and Will so either it was a prank, a bad joke, or a lie but why would Will lie to him? They sit down after getting their skates and this dude Dave is up in seconds "byers with me" Dave says "mmm?" Will makes a questioning noise "I'm getting us smoothies and i am sadly limited to 2 hands, Jane what you want?" Dave asks and just now it hits Mike how casual this guy is with his best friend and girlfriend "mmm banana peanut butter" El says "cool, you want anything mike?" damn he even had gotten casual with Mike? "Uhhhhh I guess the same as Jane?" Mike says "alright I know you like strawberry and I'll get mango" Dave says and Will goes with him to get the smooties.

"Soooo" El says smiling "So?" Mike asks "what did you get him?" El asked him and Mike was even more confused now "get what?" Mike asks "Will, what did you get him for his birthday?" El asked and oh. Oh! Of course! It was March 22

It was Will's birthday!

How could Mike forget? He even made him a mixtape that was on his bag thank God El reminded him or he was going to really hate himself "oh! Yeah I've got a mixtape for him on my bag I'll give it to him at your house" Mike smiles "you're an idiot!" Mike suddenly hears and turns to see Will with spilled mango smoothie on his shirt and Dave is laughing like it's the funniest shit, "Shut up don't laugh" Will says but he's starting to laugh too "dude I don't have another shirt you're the worst" Will groans and El pulls out a rag from her pocket then goes to the duo to help Will with the stain, Mike trailing behind her "what happened?" Mike asks "I gave him too much credit" is all Dave says "gave me too much- you pushed me! While I'm on skates!" Will says

"I thought you'd have more balance than that! And hey it was my smoothie so it's fair" Dave says

"yeah your smoothie on my shirt and now I'm sticky" Will groans. Mike knew Will hated feeling sticky it was a big thing for him, syrup, glue anything like that had always thrown him off "here you big baby" Dave says taking off his plaid shirt, having a white tank top underneath it then he throws it at Will "go change"

There it is again.

That tingly feeling that makes his chest feel tight and it only gets worse when Will returns on a shirt just a bit too big for him Dave returns as well with his new smoothie "hope I didn't ruin your birthday Byers" Dave says

"depends" Will says and Dave understands what that means "oh no trust me your present it's waiting for you tonight, I'll pick you up" Dave says "what?" Mike asks "is it another party?" El asks "yeah its a party for Will a friend is lending us his place for it" Dave says "can we go?" Mike asks before thinking but hey is not wrong to ask.

He wants to go to his friend's birthday party, however Dave makes a bit of a face "oh...uhh sorry buddy I umm is a closed party and we got limited people we can bring" Dave lies through his teeth, it's another pink triangle party and the last thing Dave wants to do is out Will on his birthday "I would've totally invited you if I knew you wanted to go man I'm sorry" Dave says "but! The party isn't until like 10 so you guys can have William over here the whole day until then but at 10 he's mine" Dave says shaking Will

"Sounds good! Let's skate c'mon!" El says tugging a stunned Mike to the rink.

Mike's head was spinning 'at 10 he's mine' he was never his not at 10 not ever he was Mike's friend his BEST friend might he add, who was this dude?! First he's at the airport, then he's all over Will then he gives him his shirt and now doesn't invite them to Will's birthday party?! And why wasn't Will saying anything why did he see so ok with this? "MIKE!" El's voice snaps Mike back to the moment "are you alright?" His girlfriend asks concerned "yeah! Yeah I just don't know how to skate" Mike bullshits even tho friends don't lie but technically it's not a lie, Mike truly doesn't know how to skate but El is being cute holding his hand and trying to get him to skate without falling, so maybe this day is not a complete loss.

...well

It was a horrible day

Some girl who Mike learned was Angela, El's supposed friend humiliated her on the rink and the cherry on top was El fought back.

She punched her right on the face and Mike made a mental reminder not to upset her cause her right hook broke Angela's nose Mike was so upset about it but Will and Dave CHEERED like Will bursted out laughing and Dave patted El on the shoulder while cursing out Angela then they all left with Johnathan and Argyle.

Dave and Will still cackling about it "I dont see what's funny" Mike says. "Dude! What isn't funny about breaking your bully's nose and hey my dad's a cop I can tell him what happened it was self defense you're good Jane that was amazing" Dave says "Angela had that coming, I'm honestly surprised no one did it sooner" Will says "that girl got shmacked" Argyle says chuckling "could you imagine if you had hit her with a skate?" Johnathan groans at the thought "that would've been more than a broken nose" he chuckles and Mike is starting to grow angry at the fact no one else thinks El took it too far, like yeah sure she broke Troy's arm but he was asking Mike to basically kill himself that was different.

Mike was also mad that El lied in her letters, that was not a friend it was a bully, why didn't she tell him the truth why didn't Will reach out and told him El was being bullied? Mike only got more and more questions filling his head luckily Dave left for dinner, because Mike would've combulsed if he had joined them for dinner specially after he voiced how he didn't like the reaction El had and that made her upset.

"So mom...Dave is hosting a party for my birthday" Will says changing the subject and Joyce gives him a bit of a look before sighing with a soft smile "you're lucky is your birthday, but I do want you back home at max 1" Joyce says "alright!" Will beamed "Dave will pick and drop me off" Will says and after dinner he goes get ready "...I don't think you should go" Mike says from the door "what?" Will asks, "the party, you shouldn't go" Mike says "why wouldn't I go?" Will asks tucking his shirt in his pants

"ummm because El isn't having such a good day? I don't know maybe you should stay and comfort her you know" Mike says annoyed "I wasn't the one who made her mad, if anything the party falls great cause you guys will have the house alone to talk about what you said during dinner" Will says fixing his hair as well, why was he grooming himself so much was there a girl at a party he liked?...El did say Will was making a painting for a girl

"she's your sister" Mike says

"and she's your girlfriend, I cheered as she stood up to her bully you for some reason got mad at her" Will says "you're the one who upset her, I'm not gonna spend my birthday fixing your mess specially when my friend went through the trouble of throwing me a party"

Mike frowned clenched his hands "party that we're not invited to" Mike says and feels more bubbling anger when Will chuckles "trust me you wouldn't like it" the latter says "why is there alcohol?" Mike says sarcastically but then sees the flinch on Will's body "...oh my god there is" Mike says coming in and closing the door so no one hears them

"Will that's bad, you could get in trouble we are 16 man" Mike says "it's fine Mike Dave knows what he's doing" Will says

"Dave? so this" he gestures Will "this is his fault" "his fault Mike what are you talking about?" Will drops his arms I'm frustration "This! You're different you're...going to partied and drinking and...you're not acting like Will" Mike says "how can I NOT act like "will" when I'm Will? Mike that makes no sense I just made a friend and that friend happened to take me to parties" Will says "and we would've invited you but we didn't know if you wanted to go cause I know El doesn't, I figured you'd want to spend time with your girlfriend"

"So you assumed I didn't want to spend time with my best friend?" Mike asks

"I mean it felt like it" Will says

"What?!" Mike says

"you called me maybe twice and you stopped writing to me all together, if I didn't reach out first you wouldn't initiate it, and then I got caught up with you know actually having fun and being a teenager and we stopped talking so I figured that when you came here you'd spend your every waking moment with El" Will says

"so you replaced me..." Mike says "you got too caught up with your new friend and replace me" Mike says on what the others call his Will voice "No, no you don't got to make me the bad guy here, you stopped talking to me, I wanted to talk every day if possible but you stopped reaching out you don't get to pin this on me" Will says and before Mike can talk there's honking outside "Dave is here" Will says

"now if you'll excuse me Mike I'm going to my birthday party" Will says and goes pass Mike then to Dave's car. Mike checks the window getting on Will's bed without thinking and looks outside, Dave seems to be hyping up Will clapping and motioning a twirl with his hand, then he checks side to side and properly tucks Will's shirt for him definitely too close for comfort.

Mike knows is wrong but he ignores El for the rest of the day unable to think about anything since today was supposed to be a great day but ended up as a disaster, Joyce set up an air mattress for Mike on Will's bedroom floor and Mike looked around, Will's drawings had gotten so much better more skilled than the ones hanging on Mike's walls back in Hawkins, his sense of fashion was the same plaid shirts and jeans, some shorts here and there too and he seemed to be on some AP classes 'he's still just Will' Mike thought but he couldn't go to sleep so he was awake for when he heard the front door open and two quiet giggles come from upstairs, he puts on his slippers and heads out of the room "Will fucking hell walk straight" Dave whispers while giggling and giggles more when Will mumbles something.

Will. Is. Drunk, and Mike has no idea how to feel about it, he still has a can of beer on his hand and Dave is holding him up with a hand around his waist and having will's arm around his shoulder "is he ok?" Mike asks "oh hey, he's fine just had a bit too much fun but hey that was the goal" Dave says "help me get him to his room?"

Something about thah rubbed Mike the wrong way "I got him" Mike says going to take Will, who gives him the biggest and goofiest smile he's seen Will make in a while "Mike~!" Will says and Dave covers his mouth while chuckling "shhhhhh Will you'll wake up your mom" Dave giggles "you should get home is late" Mike says taking Will from Dave

"give him ibuprofen when he wakes up, and if he listens make him drink water so the headache won't be as bad" Dave says then ruffles Will's hair "Happy Birthday Willy" Dave says fondly and leaves. "Willy?" Mike scoffs getting Will down the stairs to his room and flops him on the bed and his eyes land on Will's neck-not in a weird way-but because there's something there so Mike moves Will's shirt to see and yep.

That's a hickey.

Mike gave and received enough to know how they looked at that was a dark as fuck hickey "what's this?" Mike asks "mmm what's what?" Will asks and giggles at nothing, Mike doesn't get why he's so angry but he is so he grabs a hand mirror and shows it to Will "this" Mike says and Will sits up then moves his shirt collar and fuck there's more "a fuck I said no marks" Will mumbles

"So it was for a girl" Mike says "whaaa?" Will asks "El said you made a painting for a girl, I'm guessing she was right" Mike says and Will snorts "suuuure a GIRL" he chuckles "what's that supposed to mean?" Mike asks "you know what I mean" Will says his words slurred "it was you who said it "is not my fault you don't like girls" remember?" Will says rubbing his eyes and giggling while Mike face drops "so this is...from...a...guy?" Mike asks.

Somehow that makes this a gazillion times worse, and is not the thought of Will doing IT with a guy that makes Mike this angry is the thought of Will doing anything with ANYONE, wait no that'd weird, it had to be right? Why was he so mad? That's just his best friend "it is...and I" Will says rummaging his pocket then pulls out a number "got his number" Will says in a sing song tone, God he was so drunk, he probably wouldn't even remember dropping this bomb on Mike.

Mike snatches the number from will "you're not gonna call a dude you met drunk at a party" Mike says "why not? He's totally my type" Will smiles "he's lanky, and he has jet black hair and freckles" Will says and Jesus Christ Mike is gonna die because Will just described him "Will you don't know what you're talking about so Shut up" Mike says not wanting to hear more "hey Mike..." Will says laying down properly "...I love you" Will says his tone hushed as he closes his eyes leaving Mike stunned at 2 in the morning in the middle of the room crumbling the phone number in his hand.

Mike didn't sleep at all, so when Will woke up at the unholy hour of 6 am rushing to the bathroom Mike was quick to his aid "Will?" Mike asked worriedly swinging the door open just in time for Will to puke his guts out "oh" Mike grims and kneels next to Will rubbing his back "you ok Will?" Mike asks softly

"why did you let me go?" Will asks in a whiney tone and throws up again Mike having to look away for a bit but never leaving Will's side "you wanted to go" Mike chuckles a bit "did I...say something weird?" Will asks concern coating his words

Mike should tell him the truth, tell him he confesed to being gay and being in love with Mike but Mike knows Will ia gonna take it back, play it off as a joke and for some reason Mike doesn't want it to be a joke "No" Mike says "you were super giggly tho we've got to get drunk together one day" Mike smiles and Will shoots him a small smile before throwing up again, they sit in the bathroom floor for a bit just in case will throws up again.

"It's usually Dave who babysits me after a party" Will chuckles and Mike feels his chest tight again "he sure doesn't babysit you during the them since you've got a necklace of hickeys" Mike chuckles but internally he's angry

He wants Sober Will to tell him what happened, to tell him it meant nothing-to tell him he loves him- no! Nope not going there thats dangerous territory Mike is not brave enough to explore or at least he thinks so as he sees Will change colors from skin to pink to bright red "oh ummm I guess the party got heated" Will chuckles and Mike feels the need to press it further "was it your girlfriend?" Mike asks "oh uhh no no I don't" Will clears his throat wishing a second wave of nausea would just hit him so he could avoid this conversation "I don't have a girlfriend" Will says looking away from Mike "then it was a random girl? Wow...never thought you'd do that out of all people" Mike says and Will feels his eyes burning into him.

"It..." Will was absolutely going to regret this wasn't he? "It wasn't a girl..." Will says.

Mike's chest sweeled with some sort of pride, Will still trusted him, still told him the truth so now Mike just needed to get the full story "not a girl?" Mike asks "No..." Will takes a deep breath "the reason why...why Dave didn't invite you was because...it was a pink triangle party" Will says

"A what?" Mike asks genuinely confused "basically the Pink triangle is a...queer symbol, gay people use it to identify each other and Pink triangle parties are queer friendly parties" Will explains "so...a guy gave you hickeys" Mike says to make sure he's getting it right, he knows the answer, he just wants Sober Will to tell him "yes, I got drunk and was dancing with him and well we...made out" Will says waiting for the anger the homophobic remarks and slurs maybe even a punch...but none come and when he looks at Mike he's just staring at Will like trying to read his mind

"Have you ever...you know...done it?" Mike asks "oh God no!" Will says "no no absolutely not" Will shivers he's never seem himself like that but that question rises panic on him "have you?!" Will asks "dude no! I had to teach El what kissing was you think we would TRY getting that far? We've only made out and well...other stuff but never THAT" Mike says "Shut up shut up shut up I don't want the image of my sister like that" Will groans and Mike laughs "stay here" Mike says and goes out then comes back theyre having fun abd a heart to heart so Mike feels its finally the right time.

"Its late but here" Mike says giving Will a casset and his cassette player "happy birthday will" Mike smiles "is this...you made me a mixtape?" Will asks and he's beaming 'better than a dumb party' Mike thinks "yep it has songs you like and some songs that reminded me of you" Mike says "thank you Mike" Will says softly with a smile.

For a few days they're alright sure Dave keeps coming along but Mike doesn't mind...that is until the second week comes around, so Mike's last week in Lenora before he returns to Hawkins, Mike and El had a mutual break up, El had told him she had been thinking and she came to realize the love they felt for each other wasn't romantic, they did love each other but as friends so that's what they'll be they still hang out and have so much fun, and Mike feels like Will is not third wheeling anymore since now they're 3 friends hanging out.

Then the party happens "wait what? You guys want me to go?" Mike asks "only if you'd like" Will says immediately "you were pretty mad about not coming to my birthday party so...if you want you can come" Will says "we tried inviting Jane too but she said she's calling Max tonight" Dave says "...ok" Mike says "yeah cool I'll go" Mike says and gets dressed casually deciding his Hellfire shirt will be good.

Will hates that shirt because God it makes Mike look good, Will needed a drink and he needed one now...he may have to quit parties for a bit, he's noticed he's been drinking and getting stupid drunk a lot Johnathan brought this up to him in private and Will agreed he was way too young to be alcoholic.

After Mike left Will was planning on calming down on the drinking but right now with Mike looking this good no way in hell can Will stay sober...but once at the party he can't get himself to get drunk, Johnathan worried face plastered on his memory so he only gets a glass of vodka lemonade and sips on it the whole time, watching Dave do his magic with Mike introducing him to some girls that swing both ways and getting him to do dumb games that don't require much drinking.

"Well well well if it isn't Mr no call" a voice says and a guy sits next to Will, fuck, Will made out with this guy on his birthday but lost his phone number "sorry I lost the number" Will says shifting on the couch "well maybe you can give me yours and I'll make sure you get that call, name's Chris" Chris says and leans it to kiss Will.

There isn't other way to put it Chris looks like Mike, the jet black hair, his body type, the freckles across his nose Will had a type or to be specific he went for lookalikes to where he was kissing Mike if he squinted so that's what he did he kissed Chris while closing his eyes and tangling his fingers on Chris's hair.

Mike turns to Will and sees him making out with this random guy and his breathing catches "ill be right back" Mike yells to Dave over the music, Mike wasn't drunk if anything he was just a little tipsy but this amount of alcohol took all of Mike's reasoning and tossed it out the window, all he knew was that Will was kissing someone and Mike did not like that at all.

He starts making his way to the couch luckily getting there before this asshole went for Will's neck again "hey will!" Mike says and Will jumps, scooting a bit way from the guy God he was almost on his lap "oh Mike hey thought you were with Dave" Will says panicky and blushing at being caught "he's busy" Chris says "yeah talking to me" Mike says and once he notices Chris's hands placement on Will's hips, the way Will's fave is flushed and his lips are red from kissing whatever was holding him together snaps as he reaches for Will's arm and drags will somewhere else.

Mike sits Will down and gives him water "Sober up" Mike says "I'm not drunk" Will says like yeah he smells like alcohol because of his vodka lemonade but he hasn't even drank half "hard to believe" Mike says "do you do that often? Makeout with whatever random guy sits by you?" Mike asks angrily 'wow ok, asshole' Will thinks and shrugs "what if I do?" Will asks "what if-" Mike laughs in disbelief "what? You and El were constantly down each other's throat" Will says "yeah Will ONE girl how many guys have you made out with?!" Mike asks "...apologize" Will says "what?" Mike asks confused "you said something shitty Michael, apologize"

"Don't, you never call me Michael don't do it when you're mad Will we can't go back from that" Mike says and he feels sick, this conversation this argument.

Their friendship is on the line

"you started it, what are, are you calling me a whore? a fag that makes out with the nearest guy?!" Will asks "I didn't say that don't put words in my mouth!" Mike says "then what DID you say Mike? Cause "how many guys have you made out with?" Sounds like a very heavy accusation" Will says and fuck he's gonna cry

"Well I hear you're going to parties and last time you had hickeys this time a guy is all over you and you're damn near on his lap what am I supposed to think?!" Mike asks "nothing! You're supposed to mind your buisness not form an opinion on how I live my life!" Will says "that's stupid Will you're my best friend!" Mike says "agh! Stop calling me that!" Will snaps and now Mike feels like he's gonna cry "what?" Mike asks his voice softening did...did Will not want to be friends anymore? Was what he said last week just drunk words "I can't stand being called best friend over and over and over again!" Will says and he's crying "I love you Mike!" Will says "...no" Mike says "no you're...you're drunk again I don't wanna hear that when you're not sober" Mike says.

"I've had half a cup of shitty vodka lemonade Mike! I'm as sober as I've ever been in this parties and God I wish I wasn't!" Now Will is crying "I love you, I've loved you since kindergarten but I know you don't feel the same because you are normal and I'm not and I've learned to deal with it! But I cant have you judging me for how I cope with knowing I will never have you" Will says "I cannot deal with your judgment when I'm going after guys who look like you! so don't comment on how I fuck myself up just so I can remain your friend" Will says "fuck!" Will cries and tries to go for the door but as he opens it a bit it gets slammed shut by Mike's hand then Will feels Mike rest his head against the back of his neck "you're not drunk...right?" Mike asks.

"No. I'm not. Now let me out Mike" Will say "...can you say it again? What you feel" Mike says and he's using his Will voice, and Will is gonna have to tell Dave about this so he can get properly scolding for bending so easily at Mike's will

"I love you" Will says painfully

"again..." Mike says.

What the hell was he playing at? "I love you" Will repeats nonetheless watching Mike's hand go to the lock of the door and fidgetting with it "again" Mike says "I lo-" Will gets cut as Mike nuzzles his neck feeling sparks running down his spine.

"Mike?" Will asks "how many?" Mike asks and will knows what he means so he won't play stupid "3, this guy just happened twice" Will says and Mike slowly turns him around "I think I understand why I was so angry" Mike says "why I've distanced myself, why I tried to drown myself on El" Mike says resting his forehead against Will's "it's because of you, I wanted to talk to you and write every day, there's a book of unsent letters to you in my closet but best friends aren't supposed to be like this, you're not supposed to be in my head so much, youre not supposed to get longer letters than thr omes my girlfriend gets, im not supposed to be more excited to come here for you than her...and then I do come here and you've got this new best friend and you're ignoring me, going to pargies...making it out with guys and all I can think about is how much I want you to pay attention to me, how much I want you to spend your time with me and how much...I want to kiss you" Mike says not even thinking about how he has Will pinned against the door "what have you done to me Will?" Mike asks before leaning in and kissing Will.

Will is flying, he sucked in a sharp breath as Mike's lips met his. He remembers his first kiss felt like a spark but this? This felt like his body was on fire he was aware of every hair on every pore of his body and Mike's lips were full and soft against his and he saw stars when Mike brought his free hand to cup his face gently parting his lips with his thumb and deepening the kiss, Mike tasted like strawberry, cheap alcohol and something so intoxicatingly Mike.

Will melted closing his eyes and wrapping his arms around Mike's neck feeling the taller boy press him more against the door his hand reaching to the lock and this time flicking it.

They stayed like this lips on lips and bodies pressed together for what felt like too long and not long enough at the same time "Mike-" Will started but turns out they only stopped so Mike could breath cause he was diving in for a second kiss before Will could form a sentence "they were look alikes" Mike says between kisses "because you're Mine, my best friend, My Will" Mike says and God Will's head is spinning, they break apart after what feels like hours "we should....we should talk more in depth about this" Will says softly.

"Yeah...yeah we should" Mike says "fuck I really said all of thay didn't I?" Mike groans now embarrased "yeah you did" Will chuckles "but you meant it right?" Will asks and Mike can see the fear "yeah" Mike says confidently.

"I meant it"
