Chapter 3 - The Mall

"Oh my god, stop talking. Let's just go and get ice-cream!" Will giggled, dragging Mike up.

"Wh- Okay." Mike rolled his eyes, allowing himself to be dragged along by the smallee boy.

They reached scoops ahoy and Will went straight up to Robin with a big smile, dragging Mike behind him.

"..What's going on?" Robin raised an eyebrow at the pair.

"We want to buy ice-cream." Will grinned, finally letting go of Mike.

"Okay, what would you like?" Robin gave them both a small smile.

"Can I have vanilla please?" Will began to dig in his pocket for change, until Mike stopped him.

"I'll have strawberry please." Mike grinned, and Robin handed them both ice-creams without paying.

"Don't you-.. I need to pay you?" Will frowned, continuing to dig in his pocket.

"It's okay, kid. This one's on me." Robin gave him a small smile.

"Oh, thank you!" Will grabbed the ice-cream from Mike and skipped over to an empty booth.

"You know, I like.. love the mall." Will grinned, taking a big bite of his ice-cream.

"Ugh how do you even do that." Mike scowled.

"Do what?" Will sounded confused as he took another bite into his ice-cream.

"Ew, ew, ew! Stop!" Mike looked away, feeling his teeth tingling.

Will giggled softly, and Mike looked back at him, admiring him.

He looked at Will's eye's, and they both ended up looking at each other for a good minute or so, until Mike broke the eye contact to look elsewhere.

He looked down at Will's lips, which were a very gorgeous shade of pink, and were quite soft looking.

His eyes went down to Will's teeth, his front two that are just slightly bigger then the rest of his teeth.

"That was so fucking gay oh my god." - Mike thought to himself.

He looked back up at Will, who was staring at him this entire time, watching as Mike scanned his entire face.

Mike gave him a cheesy smile, making Will giggle. Mike began to giggle aswell, and soon enough they were both laughing hysterically, people in other booths glaring at them.

"Come on, we should go before we get kicked out." Will giggled, pulling Mike up.

Mike couldn't form a sentence as he was still laughing, and they both walked out and calmed down, before talking again.

"What do you want to do?" Will asked him, looking up at Mike.

"Uh, do you need anything from the shops?" Mike questioned, and Will nodded.

"I need knew painbrushes, all of my old ones had to be thrown out." He told Mike.

"Let's get you some new brushes then!" Mike grinned, and Will's face lit up.

They both went over to the nearest art shop in the mall, but they didn't realize it was quite an expensive one.

Will walked in and began to look around, his eyes glistening. He picked up a pack of brushes, examining the packet for a price.

His eyes widended as he looked down at the price tag.

"Oh my god.." He scoffed, putting it back.

"What? How much is it?" Mike frowned.

"£50. I don't even think I've ever had more then £20." Will sighed, putting them down.

Mike saw how upset he was and pulled out his money. He had £65..

"I'm going to go and look somewhere else. Wanna come with?" Will offered.

"Y-You should go over, I'll be there in a minute." Mike told him, and he shrugged and walked away.

Mike grabbed the brushes that Will wanted and walked over to the counter and set them down, getting out his money.

"That'll be £50." The woman at the counter told him, and Mike nodded softly.

He put down £50 in notes and the woman smiled and thanked him, so Mike made his way back to Will.

He saw him looking at some cheaper ones and grinned, going over to him.

"Will, guess what." Mike called out to him.

Will turned round to face Mike who was now walking towards him, not too far from him.

"What?" Will frowned slightly, seeing Mike hiding his hands behind his back.

"Do you want them?" Mike grinned, showing him the packet.

"Mike. You know I can't afford them." He warned the taller boy.

"I know, that's why I bought them for you." Mike smirked smugly, and Will's eyes widened.

"Seriously?" His eyes lit up, a big smile spreading across his face.

"Yeah! Here, let's go." Mike handed Will the packet.

Before Mike could to anywhere, Will gave him a huge hug.

"Thank you." Will smiled, and Mike chuckled.

"It's alright, now let's go and find the others." He grinned, pulling away from the hug.

They found the others after about 15 minutes of searching the mall, and they all went out to the bike racks, chattering away to each other.

"We should all sleepover in Mike's basement tonight!" Max grinned.

"Yes!! Can we?" El grins, turning to her boyfriend.

Mike opens his mouth to speak, but nothing comes out.

"Are you alright?" Will frowns, his voice gentle.

Mike turns to him and gives him a weak smile, nodding softly.

"Yeah, uh.. You can all sleepover tonight." Mike turned back to the rest of the party.

A bunch of cheers were heard as they went over to their bikes. Everybody was getting on their bikes when they heard a familiar voice.

"Look like you've not changed one bit." They heard a snarky voice.

Mike turned around instantly, and he saw Will who had been pushed down on the floor while Troy was stood over him.

"Troy fuck off." Mike scowled, walking over and helping Will up.

"Jesus, you've not gotten any easier on the eyes. Try and eat a little more." Troy snickered, pointing down at Mike's thin figure.

Mike froze, a lump forming in his throat.

"J-Just leave us alone." Mike muttered, pulling Will away from him.

"Are you alright?" Everyone rushed over to Will, checking for bruises.

"I'm okay, now let's go." Will smiled at them all, getting on his bike.

Mike got on his bike aswell, and they all headed over to Mike's house, chattering away to each other.

'Why didn't they check up on me?'
