HAWKINS|2022

“Come on Will.You have to do it!!You can’t keep it forever.”
“Max is right,Will.You should go for it.You likes him for how long now?”El said.
“…for 4-5 years…but what if he doesn’t like me back??I will literally ruin our friendship!!!”
“Well then Wheeler is stupid,which is actually nothing unusual actually,and doesn’t know what is good for him.”Max say
“Beside with what I see him doing always…yeah he is gay as fuck and trust me he for sure like you back!!10000%”Max said with stupid knowing smile
“Okay,okay…”Will said and sigh before continuing
“I will ask him him to hang out together after school…and then I will confess…but don’t get your hopes up too much you two”
“Yeyyyy!!You two will be just cute couple!!”El said happily
“Yeah.But I still think you can do much better than Wheeler.I mean seriously him??You can do so much better honestly…but whatever make you happy I guess”Max said

Will is not even surprised.Max and Mike always have,ever since they met 3 years ago,act like they hate each other but the truth is they care for each one even if they won’t admit it to anyone.Which Will is pretty sure give siblings vibe…even tho Will is not like that with El and Jon but everyone is different he guess.And beside 3/4 of the siblings are like Max and Mike so it more likely El,Will and Jon are the rare ones or whatever

“Yeah yeah let’s not get our hopes up,okay??Not until we know for sure.Now let’s change the topic”
Will said and turn to El quickly and interested

“So El how was your date with that Liam guy??Tell us everything!!!”
“Well it went very good.He came to get me,just like you know Will since you saw him at the door,and give me very pretty flowers in my favourite colours.I didn’t think he will remember me mentioning my favourites colour being purple and yellow but I guess he did”
“Owww.That is so cute El”Will said
“Yeah that is good of him.Maybe for now I will accept him but he still need to prove himself if you decide to go on more dates with him or have something more with him”Max said

“Well he was very nice and act like gentleman and listen to me and remembered everything I told him even If I was lil rambling and we shared same interests…so I guess he is very cute so…Im thinking on going on second date with him”
“That is amazing El!!Im very happy for you.You deserve someone who treats you right”Will said happy about his sister

He and El may not be blood related but even since Hopper and Joyce start dating and introduced El to Will and Jon,they immediately became close.Then they met and Max and the three of them become
today inseparable trio

“Well let’s play something!Lets not only talks about stupid boys and have fun!!Lets see what to play..”
Max said and think what to play when she get idea and look at her two besties

“Lets play true or dare!!It will be fun.What you think??”
“Well yeah Im fine with whatever you guys want”Will said
“Lets play!!It will be for sure fun…especially with Max here.The queen of funny and embarrassing dares”
El said and jokes while chucking but then they start playing.

The trio start playing each one asking and doing dares or saying things they have to at the ‘truth’.Soon it get late,like 3am and they decide to go to sleep(Max is at sleepover at Will and El house)since they have school tomorrow and for Will…it will be big day…he will finally confess to the boy he love ever since they were 10 years olds…Will will finally found out if Mike like him back or if Will totally ruined their friendship…or maybe Will will be lucky and Mike will rejects him but still will wanna be friend with Will…whatever.Will should stop overthinking everything always… After some more minutes of thinking all possible way of what will happen tomorrow after he confesses he closes his eyes let himself fall asleep
