They stood at the top of the tower, leaning against the fence. The red sky gloomed upon them in a haunting way, reminding them of their circumstances.
Will sighs, a nervous smile tugs at his face.
“At least you still want to be my friend.”
Mike’s eyes widen slightly, staring at Will.
“Friends? No. Best friends!…”, Mike smiles but he hesitates, like he wants to say more, his eyes tear away from Will’s eyes.
“Um. Yeah. Best friends,” Will smiles tentatively at Mike, “Is something wrong, Mike?”
“Will. I need to tell you something.” Mike says quietly, meeting Will’s eyes again. And for a moment, Mike thought about how beautiful Will was. Even though everything was going to shit at least Will was right beside him.
“Yeah? What happened? Are you okay, Mike?” Will asks worriedly.
“Will. I think… I think you’re a wonderful person. In fact the most wonderful person in the world! Meeting you was the best thing that ever happened to me, I truly mean that. I can’t imagine a life without you. You always make me laugh even when I physically feel like I can’t. You always listen to me, to my campaigns, and yeah sure Lucas and Dustin also do but that is not the point! It’s like… I get you, and you get me. In a way nobody else understands. I love how concentrated you look when you draw. I love how happy you are when it comes to music. I love how funny and caring you are. Will. I like you. No, scratch that. I love you. I’ve loved you ever since we were kids. And I promise, Will Byers, I will continue to love you for the rest of my life.” Mike rambles, getting more flustered by each word he spoke.
Will stared at him, stunned, and Mike feared he said the wrong thing.
“And… It’s totally fine if you don’t accept my feelings since you’re still getting over your Tammy… whoever that is?” Mike added, embarrassed.
