"will, did you ever talk?" i ask.
will nods.
"oh my, i'm sorry will. i didn't mean to make you uncomfortable," i stutter out.
"it's okay. i get asked all the time," will writes.
"what happened? if you don't mind me asking," i ask.
" i know you won't believe me, but i got kidnapped. by something that looked like the demogorgan from Dungeons and Drgaons. when i came home, i just felt like a burden after, it was better, no one could know what actually happened," will explains.
he starts to tear up a little, i take him in my arms.
"i'm sorry i asked," i state.
"it's okay. it felt good to explain it to someone who didn't say it was stupid, besides my mom."
will manages to fall asleep after another hour. he looks adorable in my clothes, i want him to be mine, but i don't even know his sexuality. i need to tell nancy. i race upstairs, i know she's awake. i knock on her door.
"come in!" she shouts.
i walk in, tears are already in my eyes. i shut the door.
"hey, what's wrong?" she asks.
"i-i'm gay," i stutter out.
"it's okay. i support you, don't cry," nancy whispers.
"i like will," i admit.
"i can tell. i would wait a week and then ask him out," nancy says.
i go back downstairs, will is shaking.
i cover him with a blanket and i lay down next to him. i want to kiss his forehead, so i do. i lay down next to him, wrapping an arm around him. i start to drift off.
maybe i'll ask him next week.
