WILL POV-

---- 10:48 PM ----

The two friends sat in the chestnut-haired boy's room, facing the tv playing Super Smash Bros, Dustin was way better then Will; getting angrier with every passing game, inspecting the curly haired boy trying to sabotage him, but to no avail. Dustin managed to duck away from Will's dirty tactics winning the fight on screen.

He threw down his controller on the bed standing up, crossing his arms in front of Dustin with pure rage in his eyes. While the curly haired boy looked back at him trying his best not to laugh

"So how does it feel to lose?" He mocked sniggering under his breath

"I'm gonna kill you Henderson!" Will jumped over the bed in a menacing manner

"If your threats are as bad as your gaming skills, I'm not worried" The curly haired boy chuckled, ducking around the room chased by the chestnut-haired boy almost stumbling as he does so

RING RING

"It's Mike" Dustin eyes widen reading the name on screen scumbling to pick up the phone tossing it into his direction barely even thinking about it. Will panicked knowing that not answering arises suspicion. Clearing his throat, he took a deep breath bringing the phone to his ear

"Hi Mike" Will nervously spoke into the phone

"Hey Will, could you come outside?" The boy responded almost instantly

"Mike, I told you I can't go on a date today" he sighed annoyed, moving the phone so Dustin could hear the whole conversation

"Oh don't worry! It's just for a few minutes, I'm outside your house" the ravenette said seriously from the other side

"My house? You're outside my house?" Will flashed out his room -phone in hand- to the living room opening a crack in the blinds of the window. Dustin creeped up behind him copying his movements carefully to see Mike's grey car appear black in the dull street light. Making eye contact with the ravenette for a single moment

"Shit" Will muttered, ducking to the ground, looking to his left seeing the curly haired boy still peaking, he dragged him down so they both sat on the floor leaning against the wall

"Umm Will?" Mike furrowed his eyebrows, tapping his leg up and down waiting for an answer

"I'll be right there" The chestnut-haired boy awkwardly chirped switching the phone off, hitting his head directing Dustin to his bedroom crawling to not draw attention to their movements

"Where is my wig?" He panicked pacing around the room mumbling to himself. Appearing to be lost in a trance; Dustin watched him concerned, firmly grasping both his shoulders to calm him

"Let's both look for your wig, where did you last see it?" Dustin calmed the younger boy

"It's in the bathroom drying?" Will racked his brain scratching the back of his neck

"Excuse me?" Dustin scrunched his face

"I washed it, so now it's drying- I didn't know he was coming here" Will whined throwing both arms in the air

"Okay... how wet is it still?" Dustin tried thinking of ideas

"Last time I checked it was very wet" Will admitted

"Okay... let me think" Dustin said; Turning his head toward the desk that sat near the door; noticing a motorbike helmet. He walked over picking it up placing it on Will's head securely

"He'll never see your hair under this" He added flipping the lid of the helmet up to properly see the chestnut-haired boy's face

"Are you sure?" Will asked awaiting reassurance

"Yep" Dustin smiled "Now go before he gets suspicious" Spinning the smaller boy around checking the reflection ensuring that his natural hair was invisible, then bolting to the front door picking up his keys from the bowl where it lay; seeing the taller man leaning against his car, Will slowed his movement stepping toward Mike with a smile on his barely visible face,

"Were you waiting long?" He raised his arm waving at the ravenette

"W-Why are you wearing that?" Mike furrowed his brows, eyeing the smaller boy up and down

"Oh umm..." Will thought of an excuse "Oh umm my hair is messy; I don't want anyone to see it" nervously chuckling under his breath hoping Mike doesn't ask further questions

"Oh umm okay... But you wore your pyjamas outside again?" Mike jested, tilting his head

"Well, I'm sorry I'm not dressed up at 11 pm at night" Will sarcastically smiled only half joking

"Point taken" The ravenette smiled to himself

"Oh umm anyway, I came to give you this" Digging into the car dragging out a black bag with gold lettering and symbols on it, he shoved it into the smaller boy's hands

"What is this?" Will analysed the bag, slightly shaking it hearing a quiet rattle from inside

"Oh... Umm it's wine. my Mum wanted to give it to you, well for your parents." Mike smiled turning his head away, slightly blushing.

"Oh tell your Mum I said thank you! I'm sure my Mum will love it" Will smiled lifting the bag up

"Umm there is actually another thing" Mike objected

"Another thing?" Will questioned, innocently furrowing his eyebrows

"So do you know what this Saturday is?" Mike examined him on his knowledge of the folder

"This Saturday? Oh that's our fake one-year anniversary" the chestnut-haired boy snickered

"Wow! That was a quick answer" Mike looked shocked

"I told you, I didn't get good grades for no reason" Will winked

"Umm so we need to go on a date on Saturday" Mike quickly spoke

"We actually have to go somewhere?" Will asked amused

"Listen" Mike reprimanded "This is only because I panicked and told my Mum it was this week"

"You absolute dingus" Will stifled a laugh

"I'll text you where to meet, okay?" Mike said bashfully

"I don't get a choice?" The chestnut-haired boy chuckled

"Not really" Mike chimed

"Oh wait Mike! I have something for you too" Will ran to his house jingling the keys to open his door, grabbing a small canvas he had painted a few days prior; he had been taking extra care of it allowing it to dry in the living room in fear of getting smudged by the clutter in his room. The painting was of a sunset behind a swing-set. Turning on his heel not stopping for an instance he headed back out leaving the door slightly ajar.

"A painting?" Mike widened his eyes

"Yeah- I mean yeah" He struggled from running; collecting his breath handing it over

"Your Mum said she liked them, so I thought I'd add to her collection" Will added breathing heavy

"I'm sure my Mum will love it! Especially if it's from you" A soft smile crept on Mike's face maintaining eye contact. Will felt a vibration of his phone in his pyjama pocket; taking out his phone seeing a text from Dustin asking if he was alright. Will rolled his eyes at his friend

"I need to go" Excusing himself he scratched the back of his neck; heading towards the door backwards waving at the ravenette

"See you on Saturday at two" Mike shouted returning one big wave

"Yeah, see you" The chestnut-haired boy bumped into his door, he chuckled from embarrassment running to his bedroom taking off his helmet placing it on the table. He wiggled his arms letting out a breath he didn't know he had

"Someone's very happy" Dustin raised an eyebrow, patting the space by his side prompting Will to tell him everything

"Well..."
