when mike links his pinky with mine, everything feels right, complete.
yep i'm gay.
he looks panicked, so i nod at him to show him that it's okay.
"i was wondering if maybe you want to sleep over at my house or we can sleep at your house? we could go and ask your mom," mike asks.
"sure, id love too! :)"
"mike, we got your food!" dustin shouts.
i expect mike to pull his hand away, but he doesn't. i watch as max smiles at him.
does he like me or is he pranking me?
we stay at the pool for about another hour.
"hey, will i'm sorry if what happened at the pool made you uncomfortable," mike says.
"it didn't make me uncomfortable."
mike follows me inside.
"will, is that you?" jonathan asks.
will hits the wall, he beckons me to follow him.
"oh, hi jonathan," i say.
"where's mom?"
"she's at work," jonathan responds.
"can i have a sleepover with mike?"
"at who's house?" jonathan asks.
"since mrs. byers isn't home, we can have it at mine,"  mike says.
"okay, i'll tell mom. make sure to take your medicine!" jonathan yells.
now mike is going to think i'm some freak.
"want to get your stuff?" mike asks, i nod.
"can i take a quick shower? i'll be two minutes."
"of course."
after i shower, i quickly pack and we bike to mike's house.
"mike, you and your friend can sleep in the basement!" mike's mom calls.
he leads me downstairs, his house is much bigger than mine.
"want to watch ghostbusters?" mike asks.
*two hours later*
"we can change into pajamas now, maybe talk a little. does that sound good?" mike asks.
i start searching through my bag for pajamas, then i realize i forgot pajamas. i swear i put them in there.
"where's your pajamas?"
"i left them at home, i'm sorry. i can ask my mom," i write.
"no, it's okay. you can borrow a hoodie and old shorts, only if you want to," mike explains.
"yes thank you."
yes!
mike brings me down some clothes, i change and i secretly inhale his scent.
i definitely like mike wheeler.
