Will's POV
~ around 45 minutes later~
"Okay I'm back now" Mike informed me rushing into El's old room
"Why did you leave it's late something could've happened to you especially because of everything that's happening right " I said worryingly
"Don't worry Byers" Mike replied heading me a rather small box wrapped in yellow paper
When I opened it, I saw a yellow walkman with stickers of DND character's andart stuff
I saw mixtape with the label 'To Will From Mike'
which included my favorite songs. I also saw a 55 minute loop of 'Should I Stay Or Should I Go' which was my all time favourite song. I was I'm shock considering all of these things together must have been like $100.
"Mike Walkmans are expensive how did you even manage to get your hands on this type of money, "I asked
" Don't worry I have like $150 saved and it was on sale AND also Nancy told me that Max survived vecna the first time because music reaches some part of your brain and saves you or some shit and she would have survived if this bitch called Jason wouldn't have broke the walkman so maybe you'll survive with it, " Mike explained
"Mike I'm sorry, " I said with
tears in my eyes
"For what, " Mike Scoffed
"For dragging so many people in this mess if I were just a little bit more Carefull with my bike none for this would've and Bob and Billy and your friend eddie wouldn't have died and even before that I always had to bother you with my dad and I'm just so... So... So sorry for that Mike , "
"I will always be there for you Will Escpiacially cause of.... Well Y'know what. "
"What" I said
"Well you do have trauma .... well I mean doesn't mean I treat you different but still, "
"I don't have trauma, "
"Will you've been through a hell of a lot and your mother tested you for PTSD when you came back from the upside down, "
"Only women and faggots can be weak enough to cry and have trauma" I muttered
"The hell" Mike said
"My father used to tell me that all the time" I replied
"Well he's gone and he was a fucking stupid bitch you didn't do anything but drink and be an asshole to you and your mom and Jonathan so no doubt he was just being stupid as always" Mike said
"Thanks for always being there for me. You'll always be my best friend, " I said smiling at my crush
"And you'll always be my best friend William Jacob Byers "
"Don't ever call me that again , " I said laughing
"Whatever you say Byers, " He replied
