Internalized homophobia, Mike knows it better than anyone. being in love with your best friend while the whole world tells you not to, can be draining. He knows Will thinks of him as the biggest straight guy ever since he had a girlfriend as a teen to stop feeling like this, he isnt gay he cant be. However when him and Will became roommates everything went downhill for the raven haired boy, why does he feel so weird around Will, it is like he wants to be close to him as possible and spend every single minute with him. Which isn’t technically impossible since they are roommates after all but he was feeling threaten by this foreign feeling. Will Byers, his childhood best friend, probably the best artist he knows and open gay guy who is most likely comfortable with his sexuality, and Mike only thinks so cause Will sometimes goes to gay bars. The thing is that Mike can’t tell why he is feeling so bitter after finding out this information, for some reason he feels a weird feeling in his chest cause he knows Will is out there, spending time with another men, just that thought made him feel upset. He usually doesn’t bother looking after Will he just sits in the cough and binge watches their favourite show while stuffing his mouth with popcorn, or he calls Max who ends up telling him to man up and that he is gay as well which Mike refuses to accept how could he? He is clearly straight Max is just out of her mind. However today he can’t shake off that weird feeling, he knows Will isn’t his property he can do whatever he wants, sleep with whoever he wants Mike shouldn’t care but he does. The worst part is that Mike decided to follow him this time.
As soon as he came inside the bar he was met with an uncomfortable smell of alcohol. His only thought in mind was how on earth is Will here for as long as he knew him Will has always avoided alcohol since it reminded him of his father. He walked around occasionally bumping into other people but he couldn’t care less his main goal was to find the brown haired boy. When suddenly he spot him… with another guy. Mike feels unfamiliar pain in his chest. He sits nearby ordering something so he won’t be seen as suspicious eyeing him across the bar while some guy is flirting with the brown haired boy which probably happens on daily basis. he can’t let them get close. he can’t. he should be happy for his best friend finally dating someone but he isn’t, he refuses to share Will with someone else. He shoots another shot hoping it will stop his feelings but it just makes him worse. now few hours later it looks like Will is seriously going to go to that guy’s place? Mike squeezes the glass in his hand. No he is not allowing some dude take advantage of his best friend, never in million years he would be okay with it. He waits till that guy walks to the restroom and approaches Will.
„let’s go” He says as he pats Will’s shoulder instantly regretting coming here.
Will looks shocked to see him in gay bar not even in his dreams he would imagine that. He puts the glass down and looks at him confused
„Huh? What are you doing here I am just waiting for Jake to come back”
Mike’s face was red with rage yet he knew if he showed anger it would just be suspicious so he had to play it cool
„Jake who?” he asked while trying to sound nonchalant his hand gripping the edge of a table tighter and tighter
„Oh that guy I met today he is really nice you would enjoy taking to him too, he is really funny” Will chuckles not really understanding Mike’s sudden upset reaction, he nervously looks at him and back at the glass.
Mike on the other hand was starting to feel jealous not that he would ever admit it but seeing Will being all excited and happy about another guy made him so frustrated but once again he was not going let his emotions out so easily, he started to come with any reason to stop him from going with that guy
„Don’t you think it is little bit dangerous? I mean we don’t know this guy he might be a serial killer or something I don’t trust him one bit”
Will looked confused why is Mike acting this way. Did he hit his head or something? „what? What are you talking about?” Will gets a bit defensive
Mike couldn’t hide his frustration, he couldn’t pretend anymore his hand still gripping edge of the table tighter and tighter
„I am just saying that he might be dangerous you don’t know anything about him, he could be a serial killer, rapist we have seen in that show how some guys act around here why are you not listening to me!?”
there it is Mike just let it out his hand finally loosening the grip of the table
„what are you doing in gay bar anyway?” Will changed the subject, taking another sip of the wine.
Mike freezes for a second he couldn’t tell him the truth he was here to stop him from going to some guy’s house so instead lied.
„I’m here to… make sure you have fun I don’t know, I’m just concerned about you okay? I just don’t like this guy and if you need a bodyguard I can play the role for you, you know” Mike was desperate why does he care so much anyway? Will is his best friend he shouldn’t be so defensive and desperate for him, but every time Mike tried to say something it made Will even more upset.
„Mike I am an adult I can take care of myself” Will scolded the other boy, he couldn’t wrap his finger around the situation.
Mike felt another wave of jealousy coming in.
„I am just trying to stop you from going with that-“ he stopped himself thinking If he really should continue.
„That jerk. He is just after your body he doesn’t really care about you at all. You know I have seen that before you will regret being with him”he tried to sound sincere but deep down he knew he was just scared of losing him.
Will lets the words sink in he listens and then sighs. he feels upset with Mike
„why is it that whenever someone shows interest in me, you always assume the worst of them? While you can hook up with girls why can’t I do the same? And what would you know maybe he really likes me”
Mike feels his throat tighten the jealousy and rage started to consume him but he refused to let it out so instead kept going with his argument in hope it would stop his friend.
„Look if this guy actually liked you he wouldn’t be trying to take you to his place on first date I mean… come on.” he then stops for a moment realizing what the other boy said he could already hear the other thing he was hoping Will wouldn’t bring up
„And by the way I haven’t hook up with someone in like forever”
Will just shakes his head and gives Mike a disappointed expression „Look Mike just leave me alone I know what is best for me okay”
Mike was running out of reasons to stop him now the only thing he had left was admitting his jealousy but he was not ready for that yet so kept trying with last straw
„You don’t know what is best for you. you don’t. All you are thinking is how he makes you feel good and nothing else I am the one thinking about the bigger picture”
he looked at his hands and realized that he was squeezing the table once again
As Will is trying to say something suddenly someone puts their arm around Will’s waist pulling him closer. It was no other than Jake Mike’s jaw almost dropped when he saw him.
„something wrong?” he asked looking at Will but his vision quickly turned to Mike
„And you are?” He asks Mike with a hint of annoyance in his tone.
It was as if the whole world slowed down for Mike he wanted to look away but instead he looked him in the eyes his eyes then turned down to his arm which wrapped around Will’s waist. Seeing that scene made him want to rip his heart out.
“I am his friend” The raven haired boy said simply. It was the best thing he managed to say at that moment „his best friend” He added uncomfortably staring into Jake’s soul. Jake looked a bit surprised
„oh really Will never mentioned you” Jake says as Will starts to get a bit uncomfortable
Mike noticed how uncomfortable Will looked. His eyes shifted from Jake to Will. He couldn’t help but have bitter feeling towards Jake, how could Will be so interested in him? What does he have that he doesn’t? How did this guy managed to make Will so happy but not him?
„Well it seems like you two have already become close” Mike said in a passive aggressive tone crossing his arms on his chest.
Jake looks at him from top to bottom and then he realised something
„oh wait I get it now. You are that guy who was dating Will’s step sister El, you are that guy who Will is trying to get ov-“ Jake is quickly cut off by Will pressing his hand against the another boy’s mouth to stop him from talking.
Mike felt all these emotions at once he was angry, Jealous, devastated and heartbroken. But the one thing he didn’t feel was embarrassed he was ready to fight for Will if he needed to but what he was seeing was not something he expected. Will’s hand covering his Jake’s mouth, Will having such a soft look towards the other guy, he was losing him, losing him completely.
„Let him talk” Mike snapped back suddenly
„No Mike it isn’t necessary” Will said still covering Jake’s mouth. Mike raised an eyebrow why is Will being so secretive all of the sudden.
Mike looked back at Will a bit confused why couldn’t he let his new amazing “boyfriend” talk? what did he cut him off in middle of his dialog?
„No? what do you mean no?” Mike asked as Will looked even more uncomfortable removing his hand from the other boy’s mouth. Mike could tell from just one look that Will is starting to feel uncomfortable and it only made him even more annoyed but he had to stay cool. He knew that if he blew up, it will only be suspicious for him. He looked at the two of them and saw that Jake is moving his hand down to Will’s hip. He couldn’t take it anymore he blurted out the thing he thought he never would*
„Don’t touch him”
Now it is Jake who is raising an eyebrow not getting why he shouldn’t touch Will. Mike’s tone is getting angrier. He was not gonna let that guy lay a hand on his best friend.
„You’ve heard what I said”
Now the whole situation is getting uncomfortable for all three of them. Will clears his throat and pushes Jake’s hand off him.
„I am going to use the restroom” Will mumbled and walked away leaving Jake and Mike alone.
Mike turned his head to watch Will as he walks away leaving him alone with this guy whom he hated most at that moment. Once he turned back towards him he realized that his hands were balled tight into fists not realizing he did that
„You and him seem pretty close” Mike started off in accusing tone
„What is your problem dude? It isn’t like he is your boyfriend anyway so stop this nonsense.” Jake said as he amusingly crossed his arms on his chest.
Mike couldn’t believe his ears, he clenched his fists even tighter and took step closer to him. Jake can tell how much it upset Mike, how much he hates him at that moment
„Just because he isn’t my boyfriend doesn’t mean I can’t be worried for him. I care about him a lot okay? More than you do probably.”
Jake is quiet looking at Mike with pure amusement. „You like him don’t you?” Jake said with an harsh tone
Mike could feel how his body language changes the moment Jake asked that question. His fists slowly dropped, a cold look spread on his face. The rage turned into shame and embarrassment. Jake just confirmed the thing Mike was trying to avoid all along.
„I—“ Mike tried to form a sentence but as he looked in that guy’s amused face he just couldn’t bring himself to say anything
„I will take that as yes. Well too late I have already taken your lover boy and you can’t do anything about it” Jake says locking his eyes with Mike’s.
„What are you saying dude I don’t like Will you are nuts!” Mike said defensively trying to hide the painful truth but Jake could see right through him.
„Oh really? Right I forgot you are such a straight guy, because all straight guys go to gay bars to protect their ‘best friend’” Jake laughed mocking Mike on the spot who clenched his fists more. Mike’s eyes were burning he was absolutely fuming at this point. The guy who is taking his best friend away from him acting like he is already his boyfriend. He felt his pride and ego being crushed completely he had no idea what to do or say at this point and just blurted out the only thing that popped in his head
„Just don’t break his heart please”
Jake begins to laugh a bit
„oh and who is going to stop me huh? Guys like him are the best, so easy to manipulate and break”
Hearing him call his best friend like that made him even more mad. He took a step towards him his fists going back up again ready to punch him
„Don’t you dare break his heart or else.”
Jake looked at him again and began laughing loudly which caught others attention. „Booo so scared of a frog faced stick like you” Jake smirks a bit.
Mike hated his laughter his smug smile, how easily and quickly he got Will, how easily he mocked him. He hated him so much with every fiber of his being he clenched his fists so tight now he was sure they turned white. He finally gave up on trying to keep his anger hidden. But before he could anything Will came back from the restroom looking a bit confused to see them like this. Jake smiled at Will „Look Will I will go pay and we can go to my place after okay” Jake said, patting Will’s shoulder and walking to the barista
„isn’t he nice?” Will looked back at Mike who was slowly losing it.
Mike was so furious he couldn’t even speak for a second. He hated the way he touched him, the way he acted with him, the way Will smiled back at him. all in a second Mike hated Jake with his entire being he never hated anyone more than at that moment.
„Is something wrong?” Will asks a bit concerned tilting his head to the side. Mike quickly snapped out of his hatred state his body finally coming back to reality as he takes a hard breath he looks at him a bit ashamed
„No” he said in a passive aggressive tone „nothing is wrong it’s just that he is a jerk”
„How can you say that Mike! Jake is great” Will got a bit defensive of Jake again which made Mike even more angry to the point he couldn’t contain himself. He knew this wasn’t Will’s fault he knew he was only defending his new “boyfriend” but god he wished he would just shut up right now.
„No he isn’t” Mike spat out angrily. he looked back at Jake who seemed to be flirting… with a girl…. is that guy serious? he knew he had little to no time before he will lose Will. he grabbed Will’s wrist
„Let’s go”
Will looked confided again „Huh hey wait where are you dragging me?”
Mike could feel his hand getting tighter around his wrist. He started to walk towards the door dragging Will behind him he didn’t even care if people saw them he would rather have everyone in the whole bar thinking he was crazy than seeing Will with that jackass. He looked at him with fury as he was dragging him to the door
„We are leaving. Now”
„No” Will started to protest and tried to get Mike to stop holding his wrist
„Let me go Michael!”
Mike ignored his protests and pulled him harder. He was furious at this point, the way his best friend so easily replaced him with this guy who he only known for couple of hours and how easily he is just letting it happen. The feeling of losing him was eating him up inside but his rage was getting the better of him.
„You’re coming with me and that’s final” Mike said when he noticed a familiar face walking behind them.
„shit” Mike recognised Jake with some other girl? that guy is seriously a player this is insane, he was still holding Will’s wrist who didn’t seem to notice those two that were walking the same way as them, how could he prevent getting spotted? he couldn’t think of anything better and time was running out, he grabbed Will’s arms and pinned him against the wall.
„What are you doing?” Will questioned him even more, first the gay bar and now he is pinning him to a wall? this is way out of Mike’s character
Mike was barely able to think straight at this point. All he knew was he wanted to get way from that jackass. The only thing he noticed was that people around them were starting to look at them.
“Shhhh” he whispered looking around. then his eyes suddenly narrowed when he realized that Jake and his new date were walking pass them. Mike leaned towards Will more to hide him.
Will blushes like crazy but doesn’t say anything to point it out he just stays like that till Mike will pull away.
When that douche and his new girl left Mike let out a sigh of relief, however he finally realized that people around them were staring at them for a bit too long. He was in a position where he was holding his best friend against the wall right in the middle of the gay bar. Finally his senses came back to him as the realization that he is embarrassing himself in front of god knows how many people hit hard. he quickly started letting go off Will who was blushing as crazy just as he noticed him too.
„Sorry” Mike muttered before running his hand thru his hair.
„it is fine” Will says looking away from him, he didn’t look uncomfortable or anything just a bit stunned.
Mike breathed out he wanted to smack himself for acting the way he did. This whole entire moment was extremely embarrassing he was acting like total a maniac just because he was jealous. He took another hard breath before he finally spoke again
„We should leave this place” his tone wasn’t defensive or passive aggressive it was calm, soft. He didn’t want to cause anymore scenes. he took his best friend’s hand and gently pulled him away.
„Yeah… that is probably for the best” Will nodded and let Mike now without protest to drag him away.
Mike dragged him outside without realizing that they were walking hand in hand. Once he was outside he looked down at their hands like his brain finally caught up with his actions. His mind was telling to let go, but his heart was telling him not to. Without noticing he grabbed Will’s hand a bit tighter. he looked at their hands and slowly let his eyes travel his best friend’s face who tried to act like he didn’t notice it. Mike’s face softens a bit and walked to a telephone booth.
„I am going to call a taxi ” Will just nodded in response looking down at his feet.
On the other hand Mike was looking down at their hands and noticed how tightly he was holding it again. It was almost like he had zero control over his body. Instead of letting go he tightened his hand even more a slight smirk appeared on his face
„Let’s just wait on the sidewalk” he said definitely not so the driver wouldn’t assume that they just literally walked off a gay bar while still staring at their hands.
This whole time Will didn’t dare to mutter a word, it was like he was fighting with his own feelings and thinking about everything that has just happened.
Mike noticed how Will didn’t want to say anything just like him. The whole time he was just silent and staring at their hands. It wasn’t long before their Taxi pulled up. Mike let go of Will’s hand quickly and opened the door for him.
„After you” that’s when he realized he probably made it even more obvious by acting all gentlemanly. Their ride home was filled with silence, Will sat in the back next to the window and looked out of it as they drove back home. Mike sat next to him looking down occasionally glancing at the boy next to him. He could tell Will was sad about the whole Jake thing or maybe he was just drunk either way Mike could tell something was wrong. when they arrived into their shared apartment Mike realised Will didn’t follow him to the living room he looked back at him confused but before he could ask Will already cut him off.
„Why did you come there? Why do you always ruin things for me?” Will said a bit upset he didn’t understand any of the mixed signals Mike was giving him.
This question struck Mike as hard as a punch to his ego if not harder, he didn’t see this coming for a second. At this moment he felt like the worst human being ever that just ruined a chance to see his best friend happy. his fists started to curl and his eyes narrowed.
„You call THAT guy a chance!? a player who would toss you aside the moment some other hottie comes his way? I am trying to save your ass.” he spat out furiously.
Will frowned a bit „Did I ask for it? I don’t think I did!”
Mike let out a furious sigh of defeat. He dropped his arms to his side, he knew he sounded angry he couldn’t deny that.
„No you didn’t. But that doesn’t mean I should just sit back and let him break your damn heart.”
„Why do you care anyway? Did you run out of girls to sleep with so you suddenly acknowledge my existence? Mike come on it has been like this the whole semester” Will spat out trying to control his emotions but he was slowly losing it
Mike looked stunned for a while. where did Will even get that he is sleeping with girls? he hasn’t even slept with his ex girlfriend, did he seriously think that of him or is he just drunk. either way Mike can’t just keep quiet maybe it is the alcohol pushing him to do irrational things or something else he has been fighting with himself for a while
„I love you!”
„Not to mention you-“ Will was trying to say something again when Mike’s words completely shut him down he looks at Mike with stunned look
„what?” is all he is able to say while staring into Mike’s eyes
Mike realized the words he just blurted out. For a second his entire body went numb he wasn’t expecting to slip out something so important in an argument like that. his heart skipped a beat he saw his best friend staring straight into his eyes his heart went into overdrive as all those feelings he was trying to burry for a while just came back rushing at him.
„I said I love you” Mike repeated his tone more calm than it was before, he took a step toward him hoping he won’t try running away from this
„and I don’t sleep with girls”
Will keeps staring at him, his eyes wide open. What? His best friend his crush since kindergarten likes him back? There is no way. Will shakes his head.
„you are drunk you don’t know what you are talking about”
Mike’s heart felt like it was going to pop out of his chest. he saw his best friend of ten years staring back at him looking like he was about to cry, Will is probably drunk but he doesn’t care he wants to take advantage of this opportunity.
„No, no I mean it.”
Mike took another step towards him, his hand reaching for his cheek and his eyes locking with his
„I meant every single word I said and I am definitely not sleeping with girls…”
„Mike stop please” Will says looking down
Mike's eyes were glued on his best friend's face. He was desperate he had to do this tonight he had to express his feelings and tell him everything. when Will looked away he couldn't take it anymore he grabbed his chin gently, trying to make eye contact again and forced him to look back at him
„NO” his voice was more serious now he couldn't let him go he had to tell him everything before it was too late
„I said i love you, look at me and say whether you understood me or not.”
„No stop, do you have any idea how much you are hurting me right now? You can’t just like me that is impossible, you are drunk and telling me things I want to hear.” Will begged him while tears were forming in corners of his eyes. It had to be some sick joke.
Mike felt a stab of pain in his chest as he saw those tears on his best friend's face. For a second he had to stop.He wanted to wipe off those tears so badly. But he realized Will wasn't trying to fight him he was trying to fight his feelings for him he had to do something.
„and do you think it is easy for me?”
Will doesn’t say anything, he completely lost words.
Mike finally grabbed his cheeks gently and forced Will to look back to him. he looked up at his best friend tears burning in his eyes seeing him like that hurt him even more.
„I’ve spent days, nights, months even years pretending i don’t feel anything for you but I can’t do this anymore. I’ve tried to suppress them, I’ve tried moving on, i have even tried dating other girls. none of it worked…” Mike added making his internalized homophobia inside him worse.
Will is visible shocked to find out this information „what?”
Mike took a deep sigh thinking this was going to be the hardest part of the entire conversation. He was going to say whatever is on his mind. He wasn’t even thinking about himself right now he was thinking of only one thing- his best friend he wanted him, not some chick.
„I tried fighting it I’ve lied to you so many times, I’ve lied to myself more too. This entire time I was in love with you so please” Mike’s voice broke for a second.
Will is having hard time believing that he just can’t believe it „I just… I don’t know what to say “
Mike grabbed both of his hands and pulled him closer, he looked directly into his best friend's eyes. the silence between them was killing him. he could feel the tension getting thicker.
„You don't have to say anything now-" he pulled him into a tight hug before he could react. his body instantly felt safe in his embrace, all his emotions finally pouring out.
„Why… why didn’t you say anything?” Will asked him softly as he hugged him.
Mike pulled him even closer as if it was an instinct, his eyes were closed as he buried his face into his friend’s neck, finally able to let his guard down.
„because I was scared” he breathed out into Will’s neck. he held onto him tighter he didn’t wanna let him go. for so long he had to be so careful he wanted to let it all out there wasn’t any logic just pure emotion.
„I was afraid of what others would think. my father, our friends I just… I was scared of being even more outcast so I tried to force myself to like girls but it never felt right… it wasn’t you…l Mike looked down ashamed.
Will puts his hand on Mike’s chin. „well… you don’t have to feel ashamed now.”
Mike's breath hitched at the touch. all of sudden he was able to finally let all his defenses down he pulled away just enough to look into Will's warm hazel eyes for the first time without any fear or shame. he grabbed his hands again but didn't let go this time
„I know I don't have to now" he whispered pulling him closer he gently turned his head up looking at him, his gaze was full of love, and Will’s touch made him shiver but in a good way.
„I’m still ashamed that I lied to you. I am ashamed that I was pretending. I am ashamed that I wasted so much time…I am ashamed I let other people affect who I truly am…”
Will sighs and puts his finger on Mike’s lips „it is okay… I have been through it too, I know it is hard but at least now we have each other’s”
Mike’s eyes brightened seeing Will finally acknowledge his feelings too. he noticed he was gently tracing his fingers on his lips it was making his heart skip a beat. in this very moment they finally acknowledged that they would never let go of each other ever again.
„You… feel the same way?” Mike asked almost as if he was still hoping to hear the words from Will. Will gave him a disappointed look.
„…Mike seriously? I have been in love with you since kindergarten. I only talked to Jake to get over you.”
Mike's heart felt like it was about to explode hearing that. He almost forgot to breath hearing words he have been waiting for the last few years. the fact that his best friend felt for him the same way all along made him feel every single emotion in the book at the same damn time. he was happy, sad, mad, relieved, loved.
„Wait so you only went out with Jake to make me jealous-"
Will immediately cut him off. „what? No I mean how could have I known you would go to a freaking gay bar? And I am not like that, you know it”
Mike felt that sting, he couldn't help but chuckle at this point.
„Yeah I guess you don't look like a person who wouldn’t do that" he added sarcastically but his eyes were full of laughter.
„you are making fun of me Michael” Will sighed while playfully hitting the other boy’s arm
Mike couldn't even help himself he bursted out in laughter the moment Will hit his arm. it was such a small thing but he knew this little playfulness means everything. He grabbed his arm tightly wrapping his fingers around his wrist and playfully dragged him closer until his body was pressed against his. he decided to unintentionally do his favourite move since they were teens and to take a quick glance at Will’s lips.
„I love making fun of you William"
Will saw it coming he already got used to it after all those years, but it always ended up catching him off guard. He rolled his eyes and smirked a bit „do you think I couldn’t see that Michael?”
Mike couldn't help the cocky smile on his face now. he used to hate himself for being so obvious when trying to peek at Will's lips but now he didn't care the boy caught him right away anyways every single time. he leaned into him getting their faces dangerously close
„maybe?”
Will sighed and decided to be bold for the first time
„If you want to kiss me just say it Michael” Will teased him a bit
Mike smirked, those words alone were enough to send him over the edge. he finally grabbed his face and pulled him into a kiss. he wanted it so long he didn’t want to wait anymore he craved his lips for so long it was almost agonizing not being able t kiss them for so many years. he finally let it all go this was the moment he been waiting for so long. one of his hands went behind his head holding his chin while his other pulled on his shoulders gently leaning them into the kiss. Will kisses him back after few seconds and puts his hands in Mike’s hair pulling him closer.
Just like he imagined it a thousand times just like he fantasized about it for years. finally, he finally could kiss his best friend. he was intoxicated, his senses were exploding everything he had been waiting for was finally happening. he was kissing his best friend who loves him. the moment their lips touched his hands tightened his grip holding him tighter pulling him even more into the kiss there was no going back now they both were drowning in it.
After few minutes Will pulls away trying to catch breath, still holding onto Mike’s shoulders he looks at him with a small smile* „Took you long enough”
Mike’s eyes were still closed as he felt Will’s breath his cheeks were burning hot, he almost couldn’t breathe. he finally pulled away, slightly breathless and the biggest freaking grin on his face*
„I know…I know I should’ve done it sooner”
Will looked at him again, grabbed both of Mike’s hands and smiled at him again
„it is fine… I was just teasing”
the taller boy rolled his eyes in annoyance „seriously William?” Still he couldn’t help but to chuckle a bit.
„Got a problem?” Will squeezes his hands a bit more. Mike let out a satisfied sigh, feeling Will's grasp tightening on his hand he couldn't help himself he smiled at the playful behavior.
„No…. but hey maybe we should go to the living room and watch something?”
Will chuckled a bit and nodded „yeah no complains here”
Mike dragged him to the living room. still holding his hands he took a seat on the couch and Will sat next to him. The raven raised boy put on some random movie he didn’t really care what it was about he was just glad that he was with Will.
After 30 minutes Mike felt a sudden pressure on his shoulder he looked up to find that Will fell asleep. the sight of him made his heart flutter. he gently put him into a more comfortable position and put a blanket over him and turned his focus to the tv. he stayed like that for a few minutes before he sighed and turned off the tv, he laid down next to the brown haired boy, wrapping his arms around him and pulled him tightly against himself. Surely watching a boring movie was a better idea than whatever Jake had in mind. Maybe he is even thankful to him
