** heres a kiss 4 mike from smol bf**
â  i love you. you know that ?? â
broken words shake from a broken boy, trembling hands hesitating above soft cheeks as though beholding something holy, something divine. will is the only good in his life, the only light he can find these days. bruises pulse to the rhythm of his heart, hissing when gentle touches find them. mikeâs own hands fist in the collar of willâs shirt, pulling him into a harsher kiss, one fueled by the negativity swirling within him. his own father, who never cared for him once, now despised him, despised his being. he didnât know what had hurt more: the apathetic father or the one whose anger left bruises on his body &. a hole in his heart.
when mike pulls back, his breathing is shaky &. tears are falling, streaking his cheeks &. reddening his eyes. his hands cling to willâs shoulders as he sobs, painful sounds escaping him. he couldnât stop loving will, not even if it destroyed him, &. oh he was paying for this love, for this sin. it wasnât just his father, it was as if the whole town looked at him differently. he was a freak, a fag, whatever other foul words they felt like spewing at him or wherever they felt upon carving the message that mike was unwanted around hawkins. go live with all the other fags, frog boy !!
a shuddering sob leaves him &. his eyes burn &. his heart aches. if will ever leaves him, mike knows he will crumble, more so than he is now. will has seen him at his lowest points &. still stayed &. mike knows he can never love anyone like this moment was spent loving will byers.
â  i. love. you. i love you. i donât care who knows or-or who doesnât like it. i love you. i donâtâŠ..i canât imagine loving anyone elseâŠlike this. like i love you. i thinkâŠ.i think youâre my soulmate, will. youâreâŠ.i think weâreâŠmeant to be together. i donât think anyoneâŠ.anyone else could be as important to me. i mean it. âŠ.i love you. in this lifetimeâŠand in every one after.  â
