((I lowkey just saw this idea on tiktok, i just had to write it down my own story then the idea I saw+ you're Will, this is during season 5))

He knows he might not have enough time. Will knows how everyone he cares about is facing a life or death situation right now. Everyone is looking for answers, looking for what Vecna is planning, looking for Holly. But all that's stuck in Will's mind, biting at him through the inside, is the nagging feeling to confess how he feels for his best friend. Mike. And he knows he has to do it soon, because in the end maybe him or Mike could not be here to tell or hear it. Today, November six, he managed to admit to everyone his sexuality twenty-ish minutes before they leave. And he could've sworn Mike almost looked sort of.. Relieved.

A few minutes later, he's helping Mike pack some things that they might need for tonight, the night where Vecna might plan to collide two worlds into one. He's scared. For what Vecna plans on doing, but also about what he plans on telling Mike. Today. Mike turns back to Will, an unreadable look on his face.

"What you confessed back there.. I have to say, you were pretty brave. I'm proud of you for that, Will, you know?" he spoke up, easing the clear tension coursing through the thick air. Will was almost alarmed at the sudden sound of Mike's voice. He turned back to look at Mike, his heartrate already picking up. God, did he do things to him.

"Oh, I-.. Well, th-thanks.. I've been meaning to tell you guys for a while.." he muttered softly back, attempting to cover up the fact that his body is overheated just by being alone in the same room as Mike. And Mike seemed to notice, stepping closer. And Will didn't know if he wanted to run out the door or give in and kiss him.

"Really? I feel like you still have something else you needed to say.." he stood right in front of Will now, his voice clearly hinting that he feels like he knows something. And Will, in that right exact moment, knew words weren't enough for him to tell how much he likes Mike. And before he knew it, he had stepped forward and pressed his lips against Mike's.

After what seemed like three seconds, Will pulled away urgently, the look on his face was almost the same as a deer in headlights. No way he just did that. Oh God. No. Their friendship is totally ruined. Why did he do that? Oh God..

"I-, Oh my God, I-I'm sorry," Will began, sounding horrified. Yet Mike looked at him with an unexplainable look on his face, although, he did not seem he didn't enjoy it. "I-I didn't mean to do that. Mike, I-Im-" he was cut off by Mike's hand on his jaw, bringing him in for a proper kiss.
