*Mike's PoV*

Spoiler Alert! The feelings didn't go away. Yay... I sat with Will for hours and we just talked. Everytime he laughed, I got butterflies in my stomach and my face heated up. Will was adorable. And, he fits perfectly into my arms. The weather outside was still shitty so we sat here and we talked. I have missed Will so much. I never realised how much I needed that cute little boy. He was an forever will be, my everything. "I've never said anything like that about anyone before! Not even Jane!"

"Mike? You good there?" Will's tone was soft. I must have zoned out or something. His huge brown eyes pierced mine and I felt helpless.

"Y-Yeah! I'm fine," I stammer. Will giggles and I felt myself melt. "HE'S SO FUCKING CUTE WHAT DO I DO?!" A crash brought me back to reality. Will had managed to slip off the couch and fallen onto the floor. We both burst into uncontrollable laughter, faces red. I have never felt this comfortable being myself in a long time. I always noticed how he could light up a room when he walked in. He couldn't be more perfect. There was nothing about him that needed to be changed. The exception being his shit past. He never deserved that. No one does.

"Your perfect ya know that?" Oops... I saw Wil's face turn beetroot red and he tried to hide his face from me. 

"I-I'm so sorry!" He just chuckled...

*Will's PoV*

"Of course he didn't mean it you stupid boy! What makes you think he did?" My face is still red, unfortunately for me.

"It's ok Mike," I say. He looks a little uneasy but shrugs it off. He pulls his knees up to his chest and leans against the arm of the couch, facing away from me. "God, he hates me now doesn't he. I'm wayyyyy too ugly for him!" I feel some really unwanted tears welling up in my eyes.

"I-I hav-have to go t-to the bathroom-m," I stutter. I can hear him turn over and say something but I'm already running to the toilets. A steady ringing in my ears blocks out all other noise and I reach the first stall, a blubbering mess. I'm pretty sure Mike followed me here but I still can't hear anything properly

"Will? Will a-are you ok?" Speak of the devil. Mike towers above me but not in an intimidating way. Like he doesn't want to hurt me, he wants to protect me. He kneels onto the floor behind me and wraps his warm arms around me. He really is the attractive person in Hawkins High...

"I'm f-fine Mike," I splutter. He deep brown eyes look down into mine with an unconvinced look. He frowns and lifts up my chin, holding it gently.

"Are you sure? Wouldn't want your pretty face getting all puffy now would we?" Holy shit. I have nowhere to hide now. My face is as red as Max's hair and Mike has a slight grip on my face.

"M-my face i-isn't pretty M-Mike," I mumble. He must have heard because he gives me the most intense look I think I have ever seen. He moves his hand to my cheek and rubbed it softly with his thumb. I can't tell if he's sympathetic or furious but he sure as hell isn't happy with what I said.

"What on earth are you talking about Byers? You're gorgeous," he giggled. "You have to be the cutest person to exist and your telling me you're ugly? What are you on?" We're both laughing now. Small, little giggles but he's done it again. Count on Michael Wheeler to always cheer you up...

"Thanks but that's not true. You are the hottest person in Hawkins. I can't compete!" Mike removes his hand from my cheek and stands up, his hand outstretched towards me.

"C'mon Cutest Person In Hawkins. Let's go get something to eat," he suggested. I take his hand and we both stroll to the tiny kitchen with all the snacks. Mike chooses some M&Ms and then pulls me towards the couch. Somehow, the TV is still operational.

"Jesus Christ how is that thing still working? Is the antenna made of bloody titanium?" I giggle at this. We plop down onto the couch and snuggle up close to each other. My heart beats faster in my chest and I can feel his is just as frantic as mine.

ANNOUNCEMENT 

METEOROLOGISTS HAVE SAID THAT THE STORM WILL CLEAR VERY SOON AND THAT THIS IS A SLIGHT BLIP. THEY RECOMMEND YOU STILL STAY IN YOUR HOMES UNTIL THE DEFINITE GREEN LIGHT. STAY SAFE EVERYONE!

"Well would you look at that! It's almost over!" I smile. This has been the most eventful few days of my life. Made peace and may have fallen in love. But we will never be together. He has a girlfriend and we are both boys. Oh well. You don't stop love. It just... is.

"Hey Will? C-can I ask you something?" I look up at him and smile...

"Of course Mike. What is it?"
