hi :D this is a little fanfic i’ve been working on, it’s probably only gonna have two parts, so enjoy the first half and this drawing to go with it :]] (also keep in mind i’m horrible at writing lol this is just for fun. also sorry about any typos) ========================================== Karen wheeler brushed through mikes hair again. “Ow!” mike yelped, as the brush yanked through another curly tangle. He thought it was ridiculous that even at 15, his mom still brushed his hair. “For heavens sake michael, do you ever brush your hair?” Mike just rolled his eyes and bared through a couple more strokes until it was as close to smooth as it was gonna get. He went to his room and buttoned up his shirt, and looked in the closet. He saw the back tie he wore to his uncles wedding last year. He tied it around his neck. “Too formal.” He muttered and yanked it off. He didn’t want to go looking like someone just either died or got married. “Mike! You’re gonna be late!” He heard his mom call. He checked is watch. 12:35pm. “Shoot.” He only had 10 minutes until they were supposed to meet up. He grabbed the pouch that was sitting on his desk, and ran out the door. “Have fun!” Mrs Wheeler called. He hopped on his bike and pedaled as fast as he could all the way to the new ice cream place in hawkins that they installed, after Scoops Ahoy got destroyed, right next to family video. He parked his bike on the bike rack and saw steve walking into family video, in uniform. “It’s saturday, why are you going to work?” Mike asked. Steve turned around and put his hands on his hips. “Because apparently we have to ‘be available whenever’, and they just got a new really popular movie, which means i have to be here today to help out when the crowd of people comes.” Steve said, and sighed. “Sucks.” Mike said nonchalantly. He walked inside the ice cream place and smelled chocolate, fruit and waffles. He went over to a table for two. He sat down. And waited. 12:40. 12:45. 12:50. 12:55. Mike heard a jingle from the door and turned around to see a very out-of-breath-will byers walking over to him. His hair was messy and fell in his eyes in a cute way. He was wearing a yellow flannel over a black shirt, and blue jeans. He sat down and started talking really fast, and mike felt the words buzzing in his head. “I’m so sorry i’m late I was helping El with homework and then mom asked me to take out the trash but then when i did i saw a mouse caught in a trap and i had to let it free but then-“ “Will! It’s fine!” Mike reassured. Will gave him a relieved smile that made mike fidget with his hands. “So… how are you?” will asked. “Good.” Mike said. He cursed in his head. Why didn’t i practice things to say? He thought. There was a short unbearable silence before Mike broke it. “I can go order for us, what do you want?” “Oh thanks- I’ll have vanilla with rainbow sprinkles. Oh! and a cherry.” Mike nodded and went to order. He came back with wills order along with a chocolate cone with chocolate sauce and chocolate sprinkles and chocolate shavings. He sat down and licked his ice cream. “That’s a lot of chocolate.” “What can i say, chocolate is my middle name.” Mike said. It was an awful joke, if you could even call it that, but will laughed anyway. Once they got their ice cream they were talking and laughing just fine. after about 30 minutes mike remembered something. “Oh! I have something for you.” Mike said, digging in his pocket. Will blushed and sat eagerly. Mike handed Will a blue and yellow striped pouch. Will opened it and his eyes lit up. “Oh my gosh mike, they’re beautiful!” Will gushed. “I thought since you’re joining hellfire you could use some new dice. I picked out these ones because they’re really sparkly, like your eyes.” Mike said, not really registering what he just said. Will just say there, his face red and his eyes twinkling. Oh no, Mike thought. Was that too much? He didn’t know what to do. “I… I like your eyes, too.” Will said finally. “Really? they look like wet dirt though.” Mike said. Will laughed. “don’t you mean mud?” Mike shook his head and laughed. An invisible weight lifted off mikes shoulders. Will complemented him AND he made him laugh? mike thought. He did a victory dance in his head. ========================================== To be continued muahahahaha
