Chapter 22

"I'm just so nervous." Will sighed looking out at the stage where he was about to make his valedictorian speech, Mike chuckled and rubbed each side of his torso and kissed his head.

"I'll be standing at the wings cheering you on." Mike smiled, "Something my parents never did for me."

"You were valedictorian?" Will smiled looking up at Mike.

Mike laughed and nodded, "Just because I was a porn star doesn't mean I didn't get good grades." He said softly as he played with the tassel on Will's cap, "I was actually a big fucking nerd, I'll show you my yearbook later." He winked before pulling Will into a kiss.

Will kissed back and hummed against Mike's lips, letting his hand find its way through Mike's curls before a loud interruption;

"Our valedictorian Will Byers!" Principal Anderson announced, Will pulled away with a gasp before running onstage and standing at the microphone. He took a shaky breath and looked over at Mike in the wings.

Mike smiled and put his thumbs up, 'You got this!' He mouthed before Will smiled and looked out at the audience.

"Welcome everyone and well done to all our amazing graduates, I was actually really nervous about standing up here in front of my hundreds of classmates and their parents." He laughed looking around, "But now that I'm up here, I realise how lucky we all are."

"You may know me as Will Byers, zombie boy, fairy or fag." He said bluntly, Mike frowned at the names, "But I forgive you, I forgive you all and I wish everyone of you well on your journeys to the next step." He smiled, "This is when we all change for the better, whether it's for a career, friendships, families."

Will looked over at Mike and smiled, "Or for love." He whispered into the microphone, "Thank you Hawkins, Will Byers, your valedictorian!" He shouted into the microphone, the auditorium filled with cheers, screams and applauses.

———

"They really called you all those names?" Mike asked as he drove them through a country road.

"Yes, now where on earth are we going?" Will laughed taking Mike's free hand into his.

Mike smiled, "Now if I told you it would ruin the surprise."

"Of course." Will smiled rolling his eyes playfully, "Oh, did you take the yearbook? I wanna see you all nerdy." He teased as he kissed Mike's arm.

Mike laughed and bit his lip before reaching for the bag in the back of the car, "It's in there." He smiled keeping his eyes on the road.

Will opened the book and flipped to Mike's yearbook photo, "Aww look at you! You look adorable!" Will smiled, trying to contain his laughter.

"Laugh it up." Mike smiled shaking his head as Will flipped through the pages.

"You were in the av club? I didn't even know Hawkins high had an av club!" Will laughed, "Wait- is that Lucas Sinclair?" He asked looking at Mike.

"Damn, haven't heard that name in ages." Mike laughed, "Lucas was my best friend, before he left on a basketball scholarship and ignored me because of my job." He sighed.

"I-um, I'm so sorry Mike." Will's said softly as he flipped through the book more, "Board game club? You were also in the board game club?" He snickered.

"In it? I ran it William, I heard it's still going strong." He smiled pulling into a driveway.

Will shut the book and put it back in the bag, "Do you own this?" Will smiled admiring the cabin Mike pulled into.

"My cousin does, said he would let me use it for the weekend." Mike smiled, "Of course he doesn't have internet access and thinks you're a girl."

Will laughed and got out of the car, Mike brought him to the front door and unlocked it "Welcome to your two days in luxury."

Will walked inside and looked around, the sitting area had an open fire, a sparkling crystal chandelier accompanied with white furniture to brighten up the wooden, brown walls and flooring around the entire cabin. Glass dining and coffee tables paired with crystal fruit bowls and dishes caught Will's eye immediately.

"Jesus Christ, I have a feeling I'll probably break everything in here Mike we should go home." Will said looking back at Mike.

"No no." Mike smiled, "He has enough money to buy more if he needs to." He said patting Will's shoulder and walking to the kitchen.

"That's not reassuring whatsoever." Will mumbled as he followed his boyfriend.

"Oh look, he left a note." Mike smiled taking it off the fridge, "Dear Mike, bang her good little cousin. Enjoy."

Will gasped and sighed into his hands, "Now when we get married how is he gonna feel when he sees me walking up the aisle?" He asked looking at Mike.

"He will think you are a very masculine woman making a statement that women don't need to wear dresses on their big days." Mike smiled taking Will's hands into his and kissing them.

Will couldn't help but laugh, "You really are a nerd." He smiled kissing Mike.

"Are my true colours showing?" Mike muffled against Will's lips.

"Yes, and I love it." Will laughed pressing their foreheads together.

———

"Wake up Will." Mike whispered as he kissed Will's head over and over.

"Five more minutes." Will mumbled as he hugged the pillow tighter.

Mike ran his hands around Will's bare back and laughed, "We gotta go, my cousins gonna be here in two hours and you take a while to get ready which I don't understand because you look perfectly fine." He rambled on.

Will sat up and looked at Mike, "Its been two days already?" He asked rubbing his eyes.

"Yep." Mike smiled as he tried to pull the blanket away from Will's bare waist.

Will grabbed the blanket and hit Mike's hand, "Don't be a pervert Micheal, now leave so I can get up."

Mike looked at Will, "So you can look at me naked but I can't look at you?" He asked getting up.

Will looked at Mike and smiled, a faint blush creeping into his cheeks, "Exactly."

"Whose the pervert now?" Mike smiled as he put his underwear on and left the bedroom.

———

"Will!" Mike called as he plated the pancakes he made for them.

"Will! Hurry up!" Mike called as he set the plates on the dining table.

"Will-." Mike was cut off by a voice coming through the front door;

"Whose Will?" Mike's cousin smiled walking into the kitchen.

Mike's face turned pale as he turned to look at his cousin, "ow! Willow!" Mike laughed, "I am calling my girlfriend Willow!" He smiled painfully as he turned to the sink and began washing his hands.

His cousin laughed and sat down, "Well where is she? I wanna meet her."

"Getting dressed, let me go and check on hi-her really quick!" Mike smiled running out of the kitchen and to the bedroom.

"Mike, what's wrong?" Will asked seeing the panic on Mike's face as he dropped the clothes he was packing into the bag to walk over to Mike.

"My cousin just came Will, um, here." He said shoving the clothes into the bag and zipping it up, "Take the bags." Mike said throwing them out the window before pulling Will over, "Climb out and get everything into the car, take my keys." He said putting them into Will's pocket.

"You're lucky this isn't an upstairs bedroom." Will sighed as Mike helped him out the window.

"I'm sorry, I love you." Mike said softly as he kissed Will quickly before closing the window.

Will looked at Mike, "I love you too." He muffled from outside.

Mike ran back to the kitchen, "Uh hey! So Willow is suuuper sick dude, would you be able to run to the drugstore? You know the area better than me." He smiled nervously.

"Knock the missus up?" His cousin winked with a cheeky smile.

Mike turned red and laughed, "Uhhhh s-sure." He stuttered facepalming, "Yeah.."

"Shit! Right I'll go to the drugstore and get you some tests okay?" He smiled winking as he got up and left quickly, once he drove away Mike ran outside and got into the car.

"What took you so long?!" Will sighed looking at Mike.

"Sorry! But now you're pregnant and my cousins away to get pregnancy tests so we really gotta go!" Mike sighed pulling out of the driveway.

"I'm what?!" Will asked, shock in his eyes.

"Oh please!" Mike laughed kissing Will's cheek and driving away from the cabin.

———

"See you later." Mike smiled kissing Will gently, Will grabbed Mike's face a deepened the kiss.

Will muffled something and Mike pulled away, "What?"

"Thank you, I enjoyed this weekend." Will smiled kissing Mike's cheek, "Even if you did get me fake pregnant."

Mike laughed and his phone buzzed, "Fuck." He sighed looking at his phone.

"What is it?" Will asked as Mike turned the phone to let Will see.

From Robert

Robert sent a photo.

Lol! Your babe left her underwear ;)

Will gasped and his face turned red, "How did I miss those?!" He squealed covering his face.

"You looked good in them though." Mike smirked winking at him.

"Bye bye, you'll never see me again." Will sighed shutting the car door and walking to his house, Mike rolled down the window and shouted out;

"I love you!"

Will laughed, "I love you too!" He smiled running into his house as Mike drove away.
