The way mikes jumper twisted around him while he tossed and turned in bed was making him crazy but it was too cold for him to take it off, choosing warmth over comfort. He wouldnt have been able to sleep anyway, the confession will announced to the group was worming its way around his brain. "I dont like girls" mike was beating himself up about bringing so many people into that room but he had assumed it was going to have something to do with the mission, not something so personal. He was more specifically beaing nagged at by the obvious but unspoken words that were stuck in will throat, the ones that can only be found between the lines if you read them right. He had no idea who tammy was, no clue if she was a crush or something more but what mike knew is that he didnt want to be her because if he was right then it meant she wasnt supposed to be permanent and mike hated the thought of will just tossing him away or keeping mike at a distance that could never close once it got too far, they already risked that when will moved to Lenora.
"Are you still awake?" Will words cut through the silence of the dark room, ripping mike out of his thoughts, "uh yeah. Cant sleep well, this jumper is uncomfortable." Mike turned on his side and poked his head over the edge of his bed, the moonlight just barely illuminating wills figure who was staring at the ceiling on a makeshift futon bed on the floor. Mike had so many questions for him but they didnt have any time to properly talk because of the whole saving the world thing, it was only now that they finally had time to breathe and rest again. "Will?" Mike couldnt catch himself before he spoke attempting to clasp his mouth closed but he had lost any control he had on his vocal chords which was made worse by the false confidence the darkness provided, "i dont want to be your tammy".
A terrifying silence hung in the air, one that made mikes breath catch in his throat. The only sound being the rain hitting the window rhythmically, matching the speed mikes heart was racing at. Mike could feel his face get hot as he saw wills figure twist to face him, "What?" The question was whispered and shakey, almost as though will thought maybe he hadnt heard mike properly, maybe will was just dreaming or imagined it for a second but mike didnt give him too much time to think that hard about it, "i dont want to be your tammy. I dont want to be a lesson, i need to mean something more, something permanent" will shot up into a sitting position, his breathing becoming heavier and strained. Despite it being dark, will felt completely and utterly exposed with no where to hide.
"But mike, what about el?"
"Dude we've been broken up for like a year, you know this"
"I know but, shes a girl"
"What, I cant like both?"
"Oh" will felt chocked for words as the silence returned once again, it sat heavy in their lungs like neither could take a full breath. Mikes sudden and very forward confession bounced around both their heads, threatening to severe any connection the two boys had and they were terrified. "Look will, i dont know anything about this, I dont what I am or who i like but what i do know is that i dont want to just be your friend, not even best friends. I want to be more and i want you to be more. Can't we have that?"
They sat there waiting but not sure what for as the sun slowly lifted on the horizon, casting will in a golden yellow hue and finally Mike could see the fear and utter suprise on his face. They couldn't hide in the dark now, not even from eachother, they no longer wanted to. Will knelt up to meet mikes face, leaning in close enough that they could feel eachothers breath on their lips. "Fuck you mike" they both huffed out a chuckle as their foreheads connected, "fuck you for making me wait so long". Will intertwined his fingers in mikes hair while their noses bumped at the angle change as their lips grew slowly closer, "i know, im sorry. But thank you"
"For what?"
"For making me realise that this was ok" Mike sounded breathless and desperate as he cupped wills face, thumbing circles into his lower jaw. Will was done waiting, he kissed at the corner of mikes mouth to give him a final chance at turning back but mike didnt retreat. Finally all the patience Will had been able to hold onto snapped and he lunged himself at mike, turning mike onto his back and straddling his thighs. Will pulled mikes head up by the back of his neck and their lips collided, at first it was gentle and light like they were testing the waters but before long they were kissing with such a hunger. Its as if they were trying to make up for all the years theyd missed, every opportunity they had that slipped away because of fear and judgement.
Mike was trembling under will and will could feel him shake as Mike clung onto his shoulders to try ground himself, mikes mind was swimming and being taken over by a desperation he had never felt before. He pushed into wills lips with fevor as wills hand moved to trace itself up mikes torso under his jumper, pulling a shuddered noise from mikes throat and arching slightly into wills touch. They broke away from the kiss only to breathe and will took this as an opportunity to lift mikes jumper up over his head and discarding it onto the floor, mikes breathing was hitched and fast. Will was admiring mikes body, a perfectly smoothe canvas he wanted to memorise, to burn into his mind forever. "So beautiful" will whispered against mikes neck between kisses, making his way down mikes body and leaving a kiss or light bite when the need for touch was overbearing, "will- please" mike whined under him, the touch making him instinctively buck his hips up into will which caused both the boys moan. Mikes hands laced themselves into wills hair, pulling him back up into another starved kiss.
Will slipped the arm that wasnt holding him up under mikes hips so he could pull him upwards to meet wills grinds in the middle, mikes legs now officially turned to jelly trapped beneath Wills knees. Mikes eyes lulled to the back of his head as his neck went limp, skull colliding with the pillow below and Will took this as an opportunity for his lips to find refuge in the crook of mikes neck again, kissing red marks into his skin. "wi- haaugh will..." mikes hands clung to wills back, leaving light scratches where his nails dragged in ecstasy, "-hng- please will" he didnt know what he was begging for but he knew he wanted something...anything to help the knot in his stomach come undone. Will could feel himself getting closer to the edge and quickened his thrusts to get mike there too although mikes moans and twitching legs indicated he may be close already. Will started kissing down to mikes chest, sucking a red into the fair skin before swirling his tongue around one of mikes nipples. A loud moan was pulled from mikes throat as his back arched, clearly sensetive but this was exactly what he needed, "so...close hngh" mike was breathless, chest heaving up and down in futile attempts to get a full breath.
Neither had realised just how loud mike had gotten, or maybe neither of them cared anymore. "If youre so close then why dont you cum for me?" Will seductively whispered into mikes ear and aftfter just a few more thrusts mikes back had arched off the bed, letting out a strained moan that refused to stay trapped in his throat as he grasped two handfulls of wills hair. Will goraned into mikes ear as he grinded him and will through their pleasure induced high, just barely able to keep his breathing under control and before long he was flopping onto the bed right next to mike. A new but welcome quiet filling the previously active space, the only noises being the huffed breathing coming from the two of them. "Fuck that was..."
"Crazy"
"Hah yeah, crazy"
A static noise spilled out the speaker of mikes walkie and both their heads shot in its direction:
Nancy: "Mike im heading out, mom says breakfast is ready. Also the wall between our rooms is thin as fuck asshole"
Dustin: "oooo mike had a girl over? Wait- Who tf did he have over?"
Lucas: "no? Will was staying over at mikes last night"
Nancy: "fuck i forgot u weirdos are always on the same channel"
Dustin: "oh- fucking finally i guess?"
Lucas: "im so telling max unless one of you replies in the next 10seconds. Ill be on standby lovebirds"
Mike and will couldnt help but burst out laughing, somehow subconsciously coiling into eachother as they did so. "Well shit now we definitely need to tell them" they both cuddled closer together with wills head resting on mikes chest, "yeah but they can wait till after breakfast"
