Chapter 21

a little homophobia this chapter

"Alright boys! Hurry up!" Joyce called from downstairs as she waited for Mike and Will to come down for some photos before they left for the wedding ceremony.

"Shit shit shit." Will panicked, trying to tighten his belt buckle as Mike was tying Will's tie.

Mike rolled his eyes, "Stop panicking, sex before weddings are normal." He smiled wriggling his eyebrows.

"Not when my mom is waiting downstairs for us." Will sighed as he finally got his belt on.

Mike fixed Will's collar and smiled satisfyingly, "There we go, perfectly tied." He said stepping away from the mirror to let Will see.

Will looked into the mirror smiling but his smile faded quickly and formed into a frown, "Mike what the hell?!" He sighed knitting his brows together, "This is what you call perfectly tied?" He asked looking at the very badly made tie around his neck.

"This is why I chose a more casual look William, no tie needed." He smiled, gesturing his hands to his dark navy button down shirt and black dress trousers.

"I'll just get my mom to tie it." He grumbled as he grabbed his overnight bag and left the bedroom, Mike following behind him.

"Sooo, what's in the bag Byers?" Mike asked walking beside him and giving him a small wink.

Will rolled his eyes, "Don't be gross."

"Hurry up you two!" Joyce smiled as she immediately grabbed Will's tie and tied it within seconds, Will smiled and kissed her cheek, "Okay you boys stand together over at the stairs."

Will and Mike made their way over, Mike slipped his hand around Will's waist and smiled, Will leaned into Mike and smiled even wider, Joyce took the photo, "You two are so adorable." She cooed.

"Enough mom, can we go now?" Will asked looking at his watch.

"Oh yes! Of course." She smiled grabbing her car keys and walking to the front door.

"Why are you in such a rush? The ceremony doesn't start for another hour." Mike smiled taking Will's hand into his, Will blushed faintly at the contact between him and Mike's skin, still getting flustered even at the littlest things.

"I want to get good seats before the other people." He mumbled pulling Mike to the car quickly.

After the ceremony and a long drive to the after party, Will and Mike watched the bride and groom take their first dance on the dance floor.

"You think that could be us?" Mike whispered into Will's ear gently, making the shorter boy shiver slightly.

Will nodded and smiled softly, "Yeah, I don't see why not."

"What's all the whispering about?" A guy smiled walking up to Will and Mike with a wicked smile, "My guess is what you two are planning to do in bed later on." He laughed.

"I was actually whispering about how badly I wanna do your mom but whatever you say." Mike smiled looking up at him, Will hit Mike's arm and cursed under his breath.

"You don't ever get jealous Will? All the people he's fucked over the years? All the people he fucked while you two were together? All those videos online?" He teased.

"Shut up Ryan, just because you don't have a girlfriend doesn't mean you have to tease my date." Will sighed rolling his eyes.

"You brought a porn star Will, shame on you." He laughed shaking his head.

"Ex porn star." Mike retorted.

"Yeah whatever, your still one of those disgusting fags who cant control themselves and need to have like sixty cocks at once-."

"Enough! Jesus Christ!" Will sighed standing up, "If your going to be homophobic then go do it somewhere else."

Ryan laughed and shoved Will's shoulder, "Sassy right? They call you gays sassy?" He asked smiling.

"Fuck off dude, no one asked you." Mike sighed standing up and setting his hands on Will's shoulders tightly.

"And no one asked you to make my cousin gay okay?" He growled lowly to Mike.

Will teared up and looked at the ground, "Shut up." He whispered.

"What was that? Your voice was too delicate to hear." He laughed.

"Shut up!" Will screamed at the top of his lungs, the whole room went silent and the band stopped playing.

Will looked around the room, all eyes on him. His breathing became unsteady and he closed his eyes tightly, "Shit, let's get you to the room okay Will?" Mike said softly as he led Will out, giving Will's cousin a death stare as he did so.

———

"I think you should lay low on the whiskey- I- okay.." Mike sighed softly as he watched Will drink the small bottles that come in the hotel rooms mini bars, Will raised his hand and waved it for Mike to stop talking.

"I mean, I can get in trouble for this Will, you're eighteen." Mike pleaded gently.

"O-one more.." Will slurred letting his head fall back as he laughed.

"No, no more." Mike smiled lifting him up, "Bed time for you mister."

"Noooo." Will whined as Mike lay him in the bed and started taking his tie off.

"My mom tied that." He slurred, blinking slowly.

"Yep, she did." Mike smiled as he took Will's clothes off him before putting Will's pyjama bottoms on.

"Family sucks." He frowned, "They are never supportive, except for my mom." He smiled.

Mike laughed and pulled the blanket over Will, "They're not all that bad."

"Hmmm." Will yawned as Mike got in beside him.

"Go to sleep." Mike laughed kissing Will's cheek and turning the lamps off.

Mike looked over at Will who was fast asleep, he smiled contently and lay his head on Will's chest and fell asleep almost on command.
