26- Make-Out Creek

WILL POV-

---- 9:56 PM ----

The movie ended and they walked to the car as the smell of popcorn still filled their nostrils. Sitting down the pair wore their seatbelts as Mike turned the key into the ignition; driving Will around town on a nightly drive. Keeping deep in conversation until Will let out a hearty chuckle

"Are you laughing at me?" The ravenette pouted squinting his eyes

"I've never seen anyone scream so much during a movie" The chestnut-haired boy smiled

"I told you! I wasn't screaming" Mike pouted

"I know! You're a tough guy, huh?" Will mocked, placing a hand on the back of the ravenette

"Like you're so brave! You screamed too" He joked keeping his eyes on the road

"At least I own it" Will sassed; staring out the window, seeing a swing set on a clearing surrounded by intimate lighting as though reserved for couples; a sign in front reading 'Make-Out Creek'.

He pointed at the window "Oh! Oh! Oh! Can we go there?" Will jumped up and down in his seat like a little child excitedly. The ravenette watched him, playfully rolling his eyes, he nodded swerving into the dirt patch to park his car, deciding to take a little stroll to the swings. Will impatiently dragged Mike along in total darkness accompanied only by the dim lights of the streetlamps. It illuminated them; walking side-by-side; holding hands. Mike chuckled

The two boys sat on the swings; racing each other for a short while, seeing who could get higher. Mike won to Will's dismay; he pouted crossing his arms slowing to a stop. His phone buzzed; Will ignored it, but it buzzed again and again.

Annoyed, he hesitantly picked up the phone scrolling through his texts, his brows furrowed reading the messages from the group chat, Dustin, El and Max exploded with texts all asking the chestnut-haired boy to check his emails, but not telling him why. They urged him; knowing he was on the date. Mike watched him, his eyes scanning the small boy "Is something wrong?"

Will looked at him nodding his head distracted "N-no, my friends just told me to check my emails"

"Oh okay..." The ravenette anxiously fidgeted with his fingers hoping nothing was wrong. Will checked his emails after many pleas; not understanding why they had told him to check now, they knew he was on a date so the chestnut-haired boy swore that he would fight his friends if this was all a ruse. Logging in he waited for it to load; swiping through his emails, most junk mail or random sites he signed up for; until he stopped at one; his mouth agape- the email before him made his eyes widen. He covered his mouth blurting "I'm in"

"What?" Mike questioned

"The apprenticeship course... I got accepted! B-but how?" Will responded

"Well, you worked hard for it" The ravenette smiled tenderly, turning his attention

"But... I never submitted it... I tore it up after... well you know what" Will awkwardly replied, not wanting to bring up those painful memories but Mike cut off reassuring him "Maybe! but your work was truly amazing"

"But you never read it" Will furrowed his brows

"I... did" The ravenette stretched his words

"How?" Will shuffled in his seat

"I fished the pieces out the garbage and rewrote it" Mike nonchalantly shrugged

"You did what? Why?" The chestnut-haired boy tilted his head gripping the handle of the swing, hearing the sounds of the wind pass them.

"Cause, I know how much you wanted it... even if I was angry at you, I couldn't take this away from you" Mike tenderly smiled scratching the back of his neck

"You help me even though you knew I was lying to you?" Will's eyes widened

"I guess I had a crush on you" Mike replied bashfully looking in another direction averting his gaze from the smaller boy. Smiling, Will reached over to cup the ravenette's face in both hands, "You're the best boyfriend ever!" Pulling his face close, he pecked the ravenette on the lips; the kiss short, but perfect for the occasion, something soft and delicate full of compassion. He pulled away; his eyes stared into Mike's.

"You're so amazing" Will whispered pulling the ravenette back in. "Now lets live up to the name of the creek and make out in your car" He winked
