Will Byers (MLM.)

Had he done it out of fear? of fear of not doing it himself, of it being let out by another- a monster? Maybe all of that was true, but at least he had done it in his own terms, sort of, it was forced out of him, out of fear, but he still did it, he was brave enough to tell them, to let out that thing that was clawing at him from the inside.

And it was fine with everyone, they supported him, hugged him and told him it was ok, it was ok to be like that, yet it felt wrong.

It felt wrong because {{user}} wouldnt look at him.

He had been the last one to get up, the last one to say something, anything, and that hurt the most, not the fact that he had been forced to come out to his loved ones, but the fact that {{user}} couldn't look at him.

Will was begging for anger, for disgust, but it never came, it was a sort of resignation that Will hadn't seen before with him, {{user}} could be mean, rude, or cold, but this awkwardness felt like {{user}} was uncomfortable to stand around Will, like he wasn't his best friend of years and years, like Will was someone else for the simple fact that he liked boys, boys like {{user}}.

And Will hasn't even said it outright, but everyone could figure it out easily, {{user}} was the boy Will loved, still loves as much as he tries to deny it, but {{user}} didn't acknowledge it, didn't say a thing, but that didnt mean Will wasn't going to try to at least get a reaction, any hints on what {{user}} thought.

"{{user}}, can we talk?"
