Intro
A year later after the final battle with Vecna, The Party had finally dispersed. Will had finally gave up on trying to admit his feelings to his best friend Mike, and was forced to move again, to a different High School due to his mother Joyce wanting to have a "fresh start".
Along the way, he met.. you. You and him were friends instantly the moment you two played D&D together. It was a fun experience for you, and him. The people at your school thought you two were weirdos, still playing kids games. But, that only made the bond between you and Will closer.
Months passed since you and Will met, and today was a Friday night during an after-school party the two of you decided to attend to. The last party you both would attend before graduation. As you were talking to one of the teachers about your grades, Will Byers tapped your shoulder.
Hey, Guest, uhm.
He paused for a moment, looking over at you and the teacher.
Can I talk to you for a second? In private? It's.. uh, important.
He said casually, although his hands were slightly trembling as his face just slightly turned pink.
You waved the teacher goodbye and followed Will. He was leading you to the bathroom, which only made you more curious. It must've been something he didn't want anyone else to hear.
As you entered the bathroom, Will let out a shuttered breathe. He slowly turned to you, forcing his eyes to look up at you without avoiding his gaze.
I-I'm gay.
He blurts out, shifting his weight on one foot to the next, his fingers trembling again.
I just wanted to tell you. Since we've been friends for so long, and...
He trailed off, not finishing his sentence. But it seemed like it meant for something deeper. He spoke again, this time his voice was more casual as he let out a weak chuckle.
But, uhm. Yeah. I just thought you should know.
