confusion || chapter 6

                                    

                                          
"Mike...I care about you, so so much." Will whispered, "more than you think..I think I want to be with you all the time, I mean we already hang out so much..but it would be different since we would be like..romantic and stuff." Will smiled at him warmly. Mike didn't know how to feel, but he felt warm and tingly, his heart was beating really fast. He was so confused but it..felt so right?
"Mike...can I kiss you?" Will asked bluntly, Mikes face heated up staring at the pretty boy that was giving him this innocent look, Mike slowly started to lean in until-
"Mike! Mike wake up! We're gonna be late!" Will shook Mike awake who jolted. "What? What's going on? I mean..school, yeah yeah!" He muttered rubbing his eyes and groaned as Will threw the blanket off of him and pulled him up off the floor. 
Mike just wore his pants from the night before, but Will gave him at least a shirt and jacket to wear. They quickly finished getting ready and Jonathan had made something for them that they could eat on the way. "I can't believe we overslept!" Will exclaimed in annoyance, "we have a test today!" Will continued and rubbed his temples for a moment indicating his frustration even more. 
Mike looked over to Will dumbfounded, "we...have a test today?" Mike asked sounding defeated. Will turned to him with a confused look, "yes?" He shook his head with a small 'tsk' kinda laugh like he couldn't believe Mike didn't know that. Mike was starting to panic about the test but that wasn't the only thing on his mind and very much not the most important. 
The real thing that was boggling his mind was that dream..about Will. Mike had no idea why that kind of dream had even popped into his head, maybe it was some kind of dream Will joke? Either way deep down there was some part of Mike that..didn't really hate it? Or he was just confused and didn't think much of it. Mike soon snapped out of it when Will put his hand on his shoulder. "Come on! Get out of the car we are already late as it is!" Mike focused once more and muttered a couple 'shits' under his breath and gave a quick thank you to Jonathan for taking them.
Mike and Will quickly raced down the halls together making it to Mr.Clarkes class. Mike huffed a couple more almost silent 'shits.' to himself as they had gotten there, more so he didn't want to open the door and have everyone stare, Will snapped Mike out of it though by just going for it. 
The classroom was silent, the students had papers on their desks and nobody was talking which meant the test had started, Mr.Clarke and everyone else saw the boys enter including Lucas and Dustin. The other two boys who had already been there couldn't help but smile at each other seeing Will and Mike come in together. 
Dustin mouthed the words to Lucas 'what I tell yah? Operation save the party was a success.' Lucas glared and rolled his eyes looking back to his test. Dustin shrugged his shoulders like he couldn't believe Lucas didn't praise him for being right. 
"Hello you boys, I see you guys are late and-" Mike interjected loudly at first "we're sorry! We just-" Will nudged him a little because he was being loud. Mike sighed and started to speak quieter. "It won't happen again Mr.Clarke." Mike replied and Will nodded in agreement. Mr.Clarke looked at them for a few moments before shooing them off and handing them the tests. But what Mike didn't realize was that you could use your notes on the test. 
Will didn't need the notes, he was always good about studying but he didn't realize you were allowed to use them too. Mike was gripping his hair and fidgeting the whole time, he knew nothing. He had been so distracted about the Will situation over the past few days he didn't even realize that he hadn't been focusing in class, but between Will and another classmate Mike glanced at their papers here and there. 
Will knew that Mike did because he always did, cheating was wrong to Will but he couldn't help but find it cute always seeing Mike glance over at his pages and act like he never did all the time. 
Mike was having such a hard time focusing, he couldn't get these random questions out of his head, but it kept leading back to that dream he had this morning. About Will. He didn't understand any of it but he never understood any of his crazy dreams. It meant nothing...right?
Before Mike could even finish the other half of the test. The bell rang, Mike sat up and looked around seeing everyone handing in their papers, including Will. Mike hesitantly got up mumbling to himself "shit shit shit!" He glanced at Mr. Clarke and sighed, dropping his paper in the basket to be graded, he quickly ran back shoving whatever he had on the desk in his bag and was quick to try and catch up to his friends but as soon as he looked up swinging his bag over his arm he saw his friends standing at the doorway. He smiled and joined them. 
The rest of the day had been great, it was a club day so they spent the rest of their free time in the A.V club after classes. They all had talked about everything together and now they felt even stronger together all of them. Will was rambling on about the test and how easy it was, Dustin and Lucas had interjected debating with him and just kept saying that he was a genius when it came to school work. 
Mike was listening yes but he was, stuck. Frozen. Mesmerized? He was just staring at Will, his hand rested on his face that had the support of his elbow on the desk, he watched the male bicker with Lucas and Dustin, Mikes eyes slowly went around Wills face admiring him like a piece of art at a museum. His doe looking eyes, his small nose, his fluffy brown bowl cut, the small beauty mark under his nose, his lips..his lips? 
Mike snapped out of it when Lucas slammed his hands down on the desk, "Will just accept you're like a genius!" Will chuckled clearly shy and embarrassed, "n-no..it's, not like that I just study.." he shrugged with a smile. Mike had finally started to engage in the conversation and they had kept talking from then until school had ended. 
Thankfully it was a Friday, the week had felt so long. The party had talked about going over to Mikes for the weekend, they had pretty much finalized notes and plans for their next campaign, they all agreed and talked about a time for when they'd meet. They all agreed and went their separate ways for the time being until Saturday afternoon.
