Eduardo Franco as Argyle STRANGER THINGS - Chapter Nine: The Piggyback
I was planning to take a small social media break but I saw the amazing headcanon that Argyle and Billy might have been friends in California! It such a sweet idea that I just had to draw something with that :) Thereâs something so special about childhood friendships and having seen someone through everything including growth spurts and the preteen awkward phase! And in a scenario where Billy lived, seeing that pizza van would be like some sort of miracle after everything heâs endured.
Surfer brochachos
It's fucked up we don't know Argyle's last name
Seeing people hate on Argyle as I gather every scrap of positive Argyle fan content into my arms and cry over them
It's honestly so funny tho bc like other than El, Argyle was undoubtedly THE most useful member of the Cali Team in season 4.
Who saved the group from being shot at and helped them successfully escape in his pizza van?
Argyle
Who pointed out that the secret message pen was "broken"?
Argyle
Who found the track marks in the desert that they were otherwise lost in?
Argyle
Who not only thought up the pizza freezer bath solution but was able to actually get it for them?
Argyle
I JUST FIND IT SO FUNNY BC THERES SO MANY PEOPLE OUT HERE LIKE !!! EW STEROTYPICAL STUPID STONER BAD WHY IS HE EVEN HERE !!!!! AND ARGYLE IS OVER HERE SINGLEHANDEDLY CARRYING THE CALI TEAM TO NOT ONLY SURVIVAL BUT ALSO VICTORY
Also when he talks spanish it makes my stupid little latina brain happy
argyle being an older brother to billy when
Sometimes I wish that the Duffers hadnât managed to cast an amazing group of actors for ST so that it would be easier to see how abysmal at worst and mediocre at best the show really is.
Literally all of the most beloved moments, lines, and changes to characters/storylines are due to the actorsâ improvisations and suggestions.
And a đto the idiots spouting bullshit about all Billy fans hating Argyle when Iâm standing right here.
Only good thing to come out of Vol 2 was my beautiful man Argyle making it out of this shitshow alive and unharmed.
TikTokers saying "oh you love billy but hate argyle" uh what đ
I've literally never met a billy fan who said anything bad about Argyle. I mean... I love both characters. This narrative is getting old fast.
I don't know where they got these ideas from, honestly.
So if you like... a fictional character... who happens to be a teenage ab*se victim... then you're automatically racist and/or homophobic?
If you want to really get into this, I think you mean IT character Henry Bowers, and he and Billy are not the same. The Duffers wanted them to be, but fortunately Dacre made sure that didn't happen.
You're forgetting that ST is literally a bunch of Stephen King references without substance or originality. The Duffers wanted Billy to be Henry Bowers. If you think Billy was bad, I suggest you read IT (the movies are available too in case y'all don't know how to fucking read).
Only good thing to come out of Vol 2 was my beautiful man Argyle making it out of this shitshow alive and unharmed.
Iâve been a stan since the first 3 seconds we were introduced to him.
actually a hardcore argyle stan now after seeing how many people are so fuckin vile towards eduardo
Argyle: *Exists*
Me:
I'm willing to bet that if Argyle was another lanky white dude there would be more hype around the character
I don't care what anyone says, Eduardo Franco is attractive as fuck
actual deleted footage of stranger things season 4 trust me guys
I watched Argyle
Uh. What the fuck just happened?
Why were John Cena and Superman illudied to being gay?
Why did any of this happen?
Honestly the best part of the movie was the soundtrack and I'm pretty sure that just because jazz is like a drug that has the kinda swag you can never resist
Also I'm pretty sure oil doesn't fucking work like that
California here we go đŁď¸đŁď¸đŁď¸

âGet him out! Get him out!â
âStrike him!â
âShoot for a home run!â
âGet the win!â
Being the last batter for a really important baseball game puts a lot on your shoulders, especially when youâre the up and rising star of your team while representing your school. He takes a deep breath, tensing his muscles while tightening his grip on his baseball bat. Himself and the pitcher never broke eye contact, that pitcher was out for blood and he was going to make sure he didnât give it to him. He licked his lips, taking a deep breath when he saw the pitcher finally get ready to throw the ball. He blocked out all the cheering as he focused on the ball hurdling towards him, when it was finally inches away from him he slammed his foot on the ground and let out a grunt, swinging the bat and upon contact with the ball, he managed to send it flying out of the field. He didnât fight down the huge grin that stretched across his face when he sent that ball flying, letting out his own cheer as he threw down his bat and ran to each base.
âAnd there you have it folks, Lenora Hills High have won against their rivalling team for the first time in nearly a decade! And all thanks to their new rising star, [M/N] [L/N] who granted them their winning home run!â by the time he returned back to home base, he was greeted by his team and school huddling around him, grabbing a hold of him and lifting him up.
âThatâs our [M/N]!â
âWay to go!â
âYou did it, [M/N]!â he just laughed as they threw him up and down before finally letting him down, grabbing their jug of water and pouring it on him. He usually would have yelled at them for doing that but it felt refreshing on his hot and sweaty body, he took his helmet off and threw his head back, running a hand through his sweaty hair but grinned nonetheless and threw his fist into the air. After the game he was met with bustling students and parents congratulating him for getting the winning shot, he smiled and thanked them and was approaching his pick up truck but was stopped by a familiar face.
âH-Hey, [M/N]!â turning to see who it was, he couldnât help but smile at the sight of one of the Byers siblings âCongrats on the win.â his smile grew at his words, he readjusted the shoulder strap of his duffel bag and approached him.
âThanks, Will. Did you see my swing? Iâve been putting a lot of effort into my swings as of lately.â the Indiana boy nodded his head, his face lighting up as he waved his hands around.
âYeah, I was watching from the crowd! It was pretty tense, but I knew youâd get it.â [M/N] chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck bashfully âUm, now that youâre here, I was wondering if you wanted to come to the after party with my lot.â Will tensed up when he saw [M/N] point over to the boys who were jumping into his truck while hooting and hollering.
âCome on dude! Lets get going!â he laughed and waved at them to wait.
âGimme a sec, alright.â they groan but do, [M/N] then glanced at Will again and give him a hopeful look âSo? Will you come?â he inhaled sharply, raising his hand to rub his arm.
âI-Iâd love too, but Iââ
âWill! We gotta go man, come on!â they both glance over and saw the eldest Byers, Johnathan, waving his brother over while his sister Jane and their friend Argyle sat in the van âMum wants us home, like, right now.â Will closed his eyes in disappointment as he turned back to look at [M/N], who looked just as disappointed but he chuckled softly.
âAh, thatâs a bit of a shame, but it canât be helped.â he murmured softly âI guess Iâll see you at school next week?â he asked, Will nodded his head.
âY-Yeah, totally.â [M/N] smiled and sent the brunette a wink, causing him to fluster. [M/N] found the reaction adorable but latter groaned when he heard his friends shouting at him to hurry up, he waved Will goodbye then finally went back to his truck, chucking his shit at his passenger âSee you later, [M/N]!â he exclaimed, this caused the [H/C] boy to grin and wave him goodbye before he turned on his radio and drove off with his friends and himself screaming to the top of their lungs to the music.
âWill.â he jumped at the call of his name, turning around, he saw Johnathan giving him a look âYou good?â he nervously nodded his head.
âY-Yeah, Iâm spectacular.â Johnathan nods his head slowly.
âYeahâŚâ
Will couldnât explain when his attraction towards [M/N] [L/N] first arose. Maybe it was because he was different in comparison to the other students of Lenora Hills High School. He was apart of the popular crowd, and how could he not be? He was gorgeous, athletic, smart and did I mention nice? It happened when Angela was bullying Eleven, there wasnât much he could do to stop it because he didnât have that kind of presence to do anything about it, but that was when [M/N] appeared. He didnât hesitate to put Angela in her place, giving her a clean smack across the back of her head and sternly telling her not to bully poor little Eleven. Without a doubt, despite the both of them being sophomores, they were already declared to be the next King and Queen of the school.
Anyways, [M/N] just had Will swooning. He always stuck up for him and Eleven, he was always so nice to them and the way he would always send a smile his direction, how could he not fall deeper? But the moment he asked if they could be friends, gosh, he was over the moon. He wished things couldâve worked out with Mike, he wished he had to courage to tell Mike his feelings, but he knew they wouldnât be reciprocated, Mike already had El and he knew he had to move on. Now his eyes were on the boy that every girl had a crush on, god, he was fucking doomed. He was cursed for crushing on the wrong people, Mike was taken and [M/N] was wanted by everyone. Maybe he was making a mistake for falling in love with the most popular guy in school, maybe he was better off digging himself a hole and burying himselfâ
âWill!â he jumped, slamming his locker door closed then turning to see [M/N] waving his friends off then jog over to where he was âHey man, how was your weekend?â Will waved his hand.
âOh, you know, same old, same old. I wouldnât say anything exciting happened, but, you know?â he laughed nervously, this caused [M/N] to chuckle softly while running a hand through his hair.
âI get it, itâs still a shame you couldnât come to the after party, would have loved it if you were there.â ah, there he goes again saying stuff that makes his heart flutter âWe couldnât do anything too chaotic, but we had fun nonetheless. Maybe I should win our next game, then maybe youâll be able to attend the after party with me.â Will snorts softly, punching his arm.
âDonât go getting arrogant, [M/N], thatâll cost you the win.â
âHaa, youâre right.â he then leaned back a little so that he was standing on the heels of his feet, a slight flush rising to his cheeks as he rubbed the back of his neck once more âActually, I was wondering if you were busy this weekend? I was hoping we could, um, hangout?â how badly Will wanted to say yes, this was a chance for him to get closer to [M/N] that wasnât simply over help with schoolwork and actually hanging out with his crush, but he couldnât.
âIâm sorry, [M/N], but I canât.â this caused him to deflate.
âWell, why not?â he gave him a sheepish grin, now rubbing the back of his own neck.
âMy friend, from Indiana, heâs coming here to visit my sister and I.â [M/N]âs shoulders relaxed a little, looking up in thought to remember the friend Will was referring to.
âOh⌠right, Mike Wheeler, right? I remember you mentioning him in w passing conversation.â he then lets out a huff, kicking his feet like child âThen I guess itâs alright, wouldnât want your friend feeling lonely while in a completely different state.â
âRight.â [M/N] then let out a grunt when someone elbowing him, he gave them a soft glare when he saw that it was his friends coming to collect him.
âCome on, dude. Weâve got math first, and thatâs on the other side of the building. I donât want to be late because you were too business talking to Byers, letâs go.â he scoffs and kicks them in the back of their leg, this caused them to stumble forward but they managed to catch themself and laugh as they scurried away, he shook his head.
âWell, duty calls. Iâll see you later?â Will nods.
âYeah, see you later.â [M/N] nods with a grin then runs off to catch up with his friends, when he was finally alone, he let out a deep sigh as he collapsed onto his locker and probably would have slid down it if there werenât people around him. He silently cursed in the back of his head, if only Mike was coming a week later then maybe he could have the chance to be with [M/N]Â âDammit.â [M/N] himself curses under his breath, walking beside his friends to their class.
âDo you think Iâm being pushy? Every time Iâve tried to ask him to hang out, heâs always got an excuse.â his friend let out a groan, slapping a hand onto their face and dragging it down.
âDude, youâre overthinking it. You said his friend is visiting from Hawkins, right? That run down little town out in the middle of the sticks? A friend that he hasnât seen for about a year?â he nods his head âThen let the guy see him, man. Youâre acting like a boyfriend whoâs upset that his girlfriend is meeting a childhood friend, who is a boy, after a long time and worried that heâs going to steal your girlfriend.â he immediately grows flustered, the tips of his ears turning red as he smacked his arm.
âI am not.â he sneers, this earned an eye roll.
âAre too, mister drama queen.â [M/N] sighed and continued to walk to math class, rubbing his face when the blush on his face continued to color his cheeks.
The moment [M/N] saw Will Byers, gosh, to him it was like love at first sight. He knew that it was wrong for a boy himself to fall in love with another boy, but his heart would not beat for another. It was during the beginning of their sophomore year and he saw Angela picking on the quiet but sweet girl of Hawkins who had recently moved to Lenora Hills, he quickly disciplined Angela and comforted the new girl, but then his gaze went to the brunette that was her brother. Will Byers, a soul just as sweet and had him melting. He was always on the back of his mind that he couldnât just ignore anymore, so he asked if they could be friends, he was internally screaming when he said yes. He took every chance he could to be with him, whether that be lying that he needed help with his schoolwork that he had to come over to his house so they could study, he was basically a regular in the Byers household. He was odd and it certainly was creepy, but he just wanted to be as close to Will as he could.
Before he knew it it was already lunch and he was being dragged out of class by his friends, he laughed as they threw him onto his feet and he bounced a little before finding his footing. Being apart of the popular crowd, [M/N] was greeted by many students and he politely greeted them back, not being a fan of being rude to people. Because of this [M/N] was generally liked by both students and teachers, and so here he was sitting at a table with various people fighting to sit with him, but of course his friends always got dibs to sit at his table. He was in the midst of eating his food but his eyes continuously scanned the cafeteria, one of his friends noticed so they let out a sigh and smacked him in the back of the head, this caused him to spit out some of his food and let out a yelp from the pain.
âDude, what the fuck?â another friend that sat across from him gave him a incredulous expression.
âYeah dude, what the fuck? He spat his food on me!â he groaned, face scrunching up in disgust at the bits of food on his jacket, causing a few of them to snicker, the one that smacked him rolled his eyes.
âYouâre so obvious.â [M/N] cleared his throat, looking at him in confusion.
âWhat are you talking about?â he scoffed softly, [M/N] raised a brow when he passed him a note, he eyed it before sitting up straight and taking it from his hand. His friend side eyed him and sighed softly when he saw that scared reaction, [M/N] was trembling as a look of panic could be seen in his eyes.
âI know youâve got a thing for that Byers guy.â
âW-WhatâŚ?â he could tell that [M/N] was trying not to break down and make a scene so he reached over and grabbed the note, crumbling it up and tucking it into his pocket, this made him look up at him with the same scared expression.
âYouâre so obvious.â he repeats âIf you thought I, your best friend since we were toddlers, wouldnât notice, Iâd have to kick your ass.â [M/N] glanced around at the others, who surprisingly didnât notice what was happening between the two of them, and gave him a cautious look.
âYouâre not⌠grossed out?â this caused him to roll his eyes.
âNo. Iâm more upset over the fact that you thought I wouldnât accept you, youâre my bro, and I care more about being your best friend than your goddamn preference.â [M/N] would probably start crying if he wasnât in the middle of the cafeteria, he wipes his eyes with his forearm whilst his friend gently rubbed his back.
âYouâre a true bro.â he chuckled.
âI know, and donât you forget it.â his eyes then lingered up and his lips curved into a smirk at who he saw, so he grabbed [M/N] by the back of his neck and pulled him up âAnd look who just came walking in~â he cooed, snickering softly when he saw that lovesick gaze [M/N] always had on his face when Will Byers came into view.
âDo you think heâll sit with us?â he questioned.
âDoubt it.â [M/N] slumps on disappointment âYou know he always sits with his sister, doesnât want her being alone. And if you try and invite her over in hopes of getting him to join us, sheâll be uncomfortable because Iâm pretty sure half of the people here have taken part in tormenting her.â he slumps even more.
âYouâre right.â
âI know Iâm right, Iâm always right.â
âYou are.â he grumbles under his breath, he then briefly glanced at Will again and lights up when their eyes meet. He happily waved his hand to greet him with a big smile, his smile only growing brighter when Will mirrored his expression and returned the gesture before turning to sit with his sister, [M/N] then sat back down in his seat with a look of content but it dropped when he could feel his friends gaze on him âStop looking at me like that.â
âYouâre gay.â he whispered quietly, he laughed sarcastically before throwing macaroni in his face, causing the others to laugh.
âThanks for pointing out the obvious, genius.â he winked.
[time skip: roller shaking rink]
If Will wasnât already having a pretty awful day, it just got worse. He thought heâd be happy to see Mike when he got to California, he thought theyâd get to talk like they used to when they were kids still living in Hawkins, but heâs been too busy oogling Eleven to even hold a conversation with him. What makes matters worse is that sheâs been lying to him ever since theyâve got there, saying things about being friends with the same people who has been bullying her and going to that roller skating rink to the point she forgot an important detail. It sucked being the third wheel, watching as Mike and El held hands as they skated around while he lingered in the back and watched in dismay as they looked happy while he was forgotten.
âMaybe I was better off taking up [M/N]âs offer to hang out then being stuck being the third wheel.â he thought to himself, just the thought of the [H/C] boy made him smile but he frowned when he knew that it was already too late and since he was already here he was just going to have to suck it up until six when Jonathan and Argyle came back to pick them up âAt this point I donât even know why Iâm here.â he grumbled, pinching the bridge of his noise as Mike and El blubbered on about something, not that he was listening, but he was completely unaware of that fact he was being stared at.
âNo fucking wayâŚâ a voice muttered, he hears a slurp but didnât pay it any mind as the owner of the obnoxious slurping came to a rolling stop beside him.
âWhatâs the matter?â âtwas [M/N] holding two large cups of soda in his hands, he sniffled as he took another huge gulp from his drink while his friend tore his gaze away from the bored Byers to stare up at his friend âDid you see someone, dude?â he rolled his eyes, grabbing [M/N] by the jaw and turning his head in the direction he was staring in.
âYeah, the guy that rejected you.â he furrowed his brows at that and tried searching to see who he could be talking about before freezing up when he saw Will, he probably would have crushed the drinks in his hands if his friend let him go âHis sister is here too, along with some guy with god awful taste in fashion.â at this, they both cringed at what the guy was wearing.
âIt must be that Mike Wheeler kid he talks about.â his friend glanced up at him once more, noticing the way he was fidgeting as he stared at Will.
âYou gonna go over there and say hello, or are you gonna stay here gawking like a fish?â [M/N] swallowed thickly, his grip on both drinks growing tighter before he let out a sigh and relaxed.
âNah, heâs with his friend. I think Iâd be intruding if I just suddenly went over there. Letâs go, the others are waiting for us.â his friend nodded and was going to leave it at that, they both turned away and planned on skating away but he stopped when he saw that familiar looking blonde making her way over to where the Byers siblings and their friend were.
âWait.â [M/N] does and looks over at him in confusion âWeâve got trouble.â he hums then glanced back over to see what he was talking about before visibly getting angry at the sight of Angela approaching the three with her goonies following closely behind her.
âGet the boys, Iâll deal with her.â he snarled out and proceeded to skate over to the table.
â[M/N], what are youâ you better not hit her!â this caused him to laugh.
âWouldnât dream of it.â [M/N] wouldnât publicly punch Angela in the face, without any context he just looks like an asshole, but heâs got a plan to humiliate her without looking like a douchebag⌠well, heâll look like a douchebag if it was an accidental regardless. He popped off the cup covers and sped up a little, this was going to hurt a bit, the moment he was close enough he purposefully tripped up, causing the drinks in his hands to spill all over the poor unexpecting soul.
âOh my god!â she screamed out, feeling the soda drench her completely âWhat the hell is wrong with you?!â she exclaimed, everyone in attendance to witness what happened were in shock, [M/N] stifled a chuckle as he pulled himself onto his feet while Angelaâs friends comforted her.
âOh man, I am just so sorry, Iâm still quite new when it comes to skating.â Jane felt a sense of comfort when she saw [M/N], smiling softly when she felt him place his hand on top of her head and ruffle it around while giving Angela a smug grin when she turned and glared at him âAccidents happen, you know?â his grin grew bigger when she grew agitated while a few of her friends took a step forward.
âMan, youâre such a clutz, [M/N]! Why canât you be good at skating like you are with baseball!â he let out a soft grunt when his friend appeared behind him, slapping a hand on his back with a laugh, Angela and her friends backed down when [M/N]âs friend group appeared and gave him threatening smiles âForgive him, heâs still learning.â Angela growled, hand closing into a tight fist before glaring at the both of them.
âThis isnât over.â with that she skated away, [M/N] let out a breath before smacking his friend in the arm.
âStill learning? Dude! Nice one, didnât you face plant not too long ago?â this caused him to make a face.
âNow letâs not get arrogant here.â [M/N] rolled his eyes, he then looked at the residents of the table and grinned, waving his hand to greet them.
âHey Jane, hi Will!â he said happily, the Byers siblings returned the greeting with a happy wave of their own, he then glanced over at the ravenette and gave him a confused expression âAnd hello⌠Mike, was it?â he gave an awkward wave of his own,  Jane stood to her feet and grabbed his hands while gesturing with her other to Mike.
âYes, this is Mike! He is my boyfriend.â this caused a few of them to be surprised, a few of his friends whistled.
âWow, little miss pretty has herself a boyfriend? Never would have guessed.â this earned him a smack behind the head.
âStop it.â Jane giggled softly, always appreciating it when [M/N] reprimanded his friends from making offhanded comments âWill told me how he was coming down from Indiana, you two must be really happy that heâs here after not seeing him in a long time.â Jane nodded her head, [M/N] glanced at Will and noticed he didnât look as enthusiastic as his sister.
âYeah, totally.â [M/N] and his friends noticed Willâs less than thrilled response and glanced at each other, his friends spare each other a glance and nod in unison before one of them wrap an arm around [M/N]âs shoulder and pull him in, causing him to look at them in confusion.
âWell, why donât we leave the lovebirds alone to catch up?â he suggested then glanced at Will, who flinched when all eyes were on him âHey Byers, why donât you join us? Donât want you being stuck as the third wheel!â Will looked a little hesitant but he didnât even get a choice when they grabbed him out of the booth and started pushing him away, he couldnât even stop them even if he could because of the skates.
âHave fun you two!â they exclaimed, [M/N] was confused at to what they were doing and was going to question them but froze up when they pushed both him and Will together and into the skating ring. He glared back at them with a bright red face but it dropped when he saw all of them giving him encouraging looks followed with thumbs up, one of them grinned as they leaned against the barrier and continued to watch [M/N] panic as he held Will from evidently falling over.
âHeâs gay, right?â one of them questioned, another nodded.
âOh, totally! Without a doubt.â they each share a laugh and place bets to see if anything will happen before the day was over, now back to the two, [M/N] was apologising profusely for putting Will on the spot like they did while untangling himself off of the poor boy.
âIâm so sorry, Will! I donât know whatâs wrong with them.â a soft blush settled on his cheeks when Will looked up at him with that oh so cute smile on his face.
âOh, donât worry about it. I get where they were coming from, and it did suck a little being the third wheel back there.â [M/N] gasped softly, bringing a hand up to hover over his mouth.
âNo.â Will chuckled at the reaction, nodding his head.
âYeah, while those two were glued together, I just hung in the background.â [M/N] hummed softly before lightly shoving him with his shoulder and skating ahead of them, Will let out a whoa and quickly caught himself before he fell over then glanced over at [M/N] and saw he had a big grin on his face.
âWell, now you have me! Lets have some fucking fun, Byers!â he cheered, holding his hand out for Will to take. He looked hesitant once more but the way [M/N] had an eager look on his face, his eyes practically begging him to take his hand, how could he possibly refuse. He lets out a laugh and took [M/N]âs hand, laughing even louder when he was pulled towards him and together the two of them spun around before skating a few rounds around the ring then leaving and going over to the arcade. Will watched as [M/N] went over to the game where you had to knock clowns over to rack up points, he grabbed the baseball and tossed it up a few times âI may not be as good as our pitcher, but Iâd like to think Iâm second best.â he comments, this caused Will to jokingly roll his eyes.
âYour arrogance is showing.â he flushed up when [M/N] winked at him.
âOnly for you.â at the end of the game he won a lot of tickets, throwing his fist up with a victorious grin. [M/N] continued to win the games, a few times playing some with Will until they were holding too many tickets that it was ridiculous. They both glance at each other before bursting out into laughter and going over to the ticket stand and trading the tickets for prizes, though in the end they couldnât think of what to get and gave their winnings to the kid behind them and went over to get some food âYou know? I didnât think I was going to see you today, but Iâm glad that I did.â he said, grabbing a few fries and throwing them into his mouth.
âI agree, you made my day a little bit better.â [M/N] grinned at that, as the two of them continued to talk he glanced behind Will and his face scrunched up when he saw his friends from afar making those same encouraging looks along with kissy faces, he wanted to kick their asses. He panicked when Will noticed that [M/N] was staring at something so he turned around to see what it was but his friends luckily ducked down before they could notice, when Will turned to look back at [M/N] he just got an innocent smile on his face âWell, um, Iâm really glad I got to spend some time with you.â
âSame! At least you werenât stuck in between your sister and your friend.â Will had a bittersweet expression on his face.
âI know he just got here and that Elâ I mean, Jane, is his girlfriend⌠but Iâm his best friend. I wish he talked to me just a little bit longer instead of ignoring me, it really hurt.â [M/N] gave him a sympathetic smile.
âIâm sure things will get better, like you said, heâs your best friend! Iâm sure things will get better before you know it.â he reassured, this caused Will to smile.
âThanks, I really appreciate it.â he nods.
âAnytime.â they stare at each other for a little longer then jump when a hand suddenly slammed down on their table, they then glance up at the owner and [M/N] couldnât help but grimace a little when he saw that it was none other than Mike Wheeler.
âThere you are, Will! Iâve been looking everywhere for you.â he then gestured with his hand for him to stand up âI need to talk to you about something, so can we go?â Will pulled a face and looked at [M/N], he looked just as saddened but gestured for him to go.
âDonât leave the guy waiting! Iâll be right here if you come back.â Will smiled before leaving, the moment Will was out of sight he let out a breath he was holding in and slumped into the seat, not even moments later his friends arrived and took over the booth.
âWell that was a disaster.â one of them said, a few of the other eating the food that was forgotten âYou should have seen the way that Indiana guy was staring at you, dude. We were watching for a long time and that guy was giving you a dirty look.â another then dramatically held a hand to his forehead and fell back, one having to catch him before falling onto the ground.
âHe mustâve been jealous that he was replaced and couldnât stand the thought of his friend talking to a much better looking, well dressed, and friendly guy that isnât him.â [M/N] rolled his eyes, grabbing his drink and taking a long slurp from it âWeâre being serious, [M/N]. That guy definitely didnât like the fact that you were with Byers, man.â
âYou should shoot your shot.â this caused [M/N] to glare at the one friend he knew that knew about his sexuality, before he could say anything, he raised his hands and gestured to the lot of them.
âDude, like I said, youâre so obvious.â he glanced at the others and saw they were all nodding their heads âWhy do you think we were encouraging you that whole time, dumbass?â they all laugh when his head fell and thumped against the table.
âWeâre your ultimate wingmen, trust us.â their heads shoot up when they all hear shouting, they look over and saw a crowd forming so they scramble to their feet and rush over, and there they saw Angelaâs face bleeding due to the fact that Jane had hit her with a skate âHoly shit!âÂ
âYou go Byers!â [M/N] shakes his head.
âNowâs not the time.â âSorry.â he shakes his head, he then glanced over at the siblings and saw they both had a panicked look on their faces before rushing away âWell that was anticlimactic, I didnât expect her to do that.â
âWell what can you do? After all that torment that bitch has put her through, I was wondering how long it was going to take until she finally snapped.â he then claps his hands âGood for her, the wrong way of standing up for herself, but good for her.â
âStop it.â [time skip: later at night]
Today was just a fucking disaster. Will collapsed onto his bed and let out an exhausted sigh, if he thought the day couldnât get any worse, he should probably shut the fuck up at that point. All was going swell when he was with [M/N], he had fun and it felt nice to be included, even more so being so close to the guy that made his stomach do flips. Mike had to ruin the moment but let it slide when he realised that Angela came back for revenge and evidently humiliated El before running off, Mike only coming to find him to help him find El. What made matters worse was when El slammed the roller skate into Angelaâs face and it started bleeding profusely, god, he needed a break. He pressed the soles of his hands into his eyes and twisted slightly, dragging his hands down his face then throwing his arms open.
âWhat a disaster.â he closed his eyes and let his body relax into the bed, growing slightly irritated when he heard a subtle tapping, he lifts himself and glared over at the window. It stopped when he looked over at it so he let his body fall back onto the bed but not even a second passes when the tapping returns so he jumps off his bed and marches over to his window, ready to punch it but froze up when he saw that it was [M/N], who lit up upon sight.
âWill!â his voice was muffled through the glass but he definitely heard it as the boy waved his hand âHi.â he shook his head with a laugh and opened the window.
âWhat are you doing here? Itâs late.â he holds his hand up in a gesture for him to wait so he does with a slight giggle, watching as he ducked down to get something before shooting up with something in his hand. Will looked at in confusion then let out a sputter of words when [M/N] pushed it into his hands, he chuckled when he saw the excited look on his face âWhat is this?â
âItâs a gift. Itâs for you.â Will furrowed his brows in confusion, a gift? He was going to question him again but [M/N] gestured for him to open it âGo on, open it!â [M/N] reminded him of a child on Christmas Day, so he just shrugged his shoulders and opened the nicely wrapped gift. He raised his brow in confusion at the sight of a box that was close shut by two latches, he looked at [M/N] and saw the eagerness in his eyes as he nodded at him for him to open it, so he did with a shrug. His eyes widened in shock at what he saw was inside, he couldnât believe it as he lowered the lid to look at [M/N].
âI-Is thisâŚ?â he smiled and sheepishly shrugged.
âAn oil color box set? Yeah, it took awhile to find this specific one, and it was really expensive as well, but whatâs a few weeks allowance canât do?â Will was at a loss for words, stuttering out a few that he managed to say as tears threatened to spill from his eyes âI remembered you saying that you were looking for one so you could paint while you were out, so I thought I would get you one and save you the trouble.â Will sniffled, raising a hand to rub at his eyes.
âBut why? Why did you get this for me?â [M/N] looked at him in confusion, scoffing softly but realised that Will was serious,.
âDude, Will⌠itâs your birthday.â Will couldnât help but gasp softly at that, he completely forgot that it was his birthday, but that also meant that everyone else forgot about his birthday. He got a little bitter at that but what made it better was the fact that [M/N] remembered. A guy that he met in California, a guy that he told the date of his birth once and he remembered, a guy that was so popular that he was sure would forget, but he didnât. He remembered and he even got him a gift. He then remembered to the start of that week that he tried inviting Will out to hangout, was he inviting him out for his birthday? âI donât know whatâs going on in your life right now, Will, but I hope you know Iâm here for you. Happy birthday, Will.â he couldnât remember what happened, what was going on in his mind for him to react the way he did, but he pushed the gift to the side and grabbed [M/N] by the collar of his shirt and yank him up. [M/N] let out a whoa, hands planting down on the windowsill to stabilise himself then let out a muffled gasp when Will pulled him into a kiss. He stared down at their connected lips in shock then his gaze fell upon Willâs eyes when he pulled away, a look of disbelief as they stared at each other.
âŚ
⌠âOh my god, what have I done?â Will muttered, still holding [M/N] by the collar of his shirt as he looked away, not noticing the lovesick smile that grace his lips as he let him go, letting the boy slump against the windowsill. All sorts of thoughts were circulating through his mind, thinking that he possibly ruined the best friendship he had in California forever and that he was going to lose a friend that meant the world to him and also the love of his life. He hadnât even noticed [M/N] pull himself up until he was yanked forward, [M/N] having reach forward to grab Will by his cheeks and pull him into another kiss, this time, he was making sure Will felt that the kiss he gave him wasnât one sided. When they finally pulled away, they stared into each otherâs eyes before laughing.
âWill?â said boy let out a gasp and shoved [M/N] back and slammed his window shut, grimacing when he heard a loud thud followed by an oof and grunt but he ignored it as his mother opened the door to his room âAre you okay in here? I heard you pacing.â he gave his mother a reassuring smile, waving his hands to dismiss her.
âYeah, Iâm fine! Donât worry about it, mum.â she gave Will a soft smile, blowing him a kiss before closing the door when she left. He waited until he couldnât hear her footsteps anymore before turning around and throwing his window open and peeking out, he giggled to himself when he saw [M/N] wearing the biggest grin on his face as he covered his eyes with his hands âAre you okay?â [M/N] pushed himself up by his hands and gave Will a dopey grin.
âAm I okay? Iâm fan-fucking-tastic!â he covered his mouth when Will shushed him for being loud, he quickly stood to his feet and returned to where Will was resting his folding arms on the windowsill and smiled âI can finally tell you that Iâm in love with you. Your response?â Will laughs, pressing a hand to his cheek.
âI love you too.â theyâre both smiling to the point it hurts, Will throws his arms around [M/N]âs neck and pulls him up into a hug, to which the latter reaches up and wraps an arm around his head as his other arm held the windowsill. When they pull away, [M/N] and Will stare into each otherâs eyes once more and share a short and tender kiss, [M/N] winks and Will giggles. âIâll see you at school next week?â Will bites his lip, glancing back towards his door then back at [M/N].
âDo you want to stop by tomorrow? Iâd love to spend some time with you.â he whispered the last part to himself but it didnât fall to deaf ears because this earned him another peck on the lips, he looked at [M/N] and saw him grinning as he nodded his head.
âYeah, Iâll totally stop by tomorrow!â he cheered âIâll see you tomorrow!â he takes a step back but accidentally trips and falls back, Will leaned forward to see if he was okay but giggled instead when [M/N] shot back up but had a few leaves and twigs in his hair, but he didnât mind it and waved his hand goodbye,
âGoodnight, [M/N].â
âGoodnight, Will.â he blows him a kiss followed by a wink, to which Will blushed but didnât hesitate to catch the kiss. The moment Will pulled himself back into his room and close the window [M/N] let out a cheer as he threw his fists in the air, running back to his truck with an extra skip in his step âHe said he loved me!â he shouts, he then heard cheering from his truck and saw his friends cheering for his accomplishment.
âNice one, [M/N]!â
âAnother win for you!â
[m/n] is so in love with will that his friends have to tape his mouth shut if they donât want to hear him talking about will this, or will that. it gets annoying.
the guys love will, donât get me wrong, they just hate [m/n] for making the conversation all about his boyfriend. heâs in a relationship, they get it. no need to shove it down their throats with every chance he gets.
[m/n] told will that his friends know that theyâre dating.
he was a little on edge to know that will wasnât, well, straight.
[m/n] reassured him that they were cool, I mean, it was because of them they basically got to have a date back at the roller skating ring.
it made will feel happy to be accepted by a large number a guys.
it makes him even more happy that theyâre happy [m/n]âs happy with someone that makes him feel the way he does. they tell will theyâve got his back if he ever needs it.
[m/n] more than once has will wearing his lettermen jacket, regardless of what people say.
will refused to wear it the first few times [m/n] asked him to wear it but was forced to wear it when [m/n] threw it at his face and ran away before will could give it back.
now [m/n] doesnât get it back unless thereâs a game.
totally worth it.
will totally shows up to [m/n] and his teams practices and their games. they all appreciate his attendance and whenever heâs there, theyâre all at that a-game.
when [m/n] sees will in the crowd, especially if heâs wearing his jacket, itâs already over for the rivalling team.
heâs all the motivation they need.
will is totally their number one supporter.
jane noticed will has been happier as well, and without asking she already knew it had something to do with [m/n].
she saw the way will would look at [m/n]. he had that look in his eyes that sparkled whenever the boy was in the same room they were in or if he was brought up in a conversation.Â
she might have accidentally caught the a few times together when will would sneak him in through the window so they could relax together or will would be sneaking out or back in from wherever [m/n] took him.
they had a sibling agreement to never bring this up.
joyce and jonathan had also noticed that will had being going out more and more.
theyâd question him where he was going but fall short when they saw that oh so familiar lettermen jacket along with the sound of a honk.
peering out the window, there they saw their will rushing over to [m/n]âs pickup truck so the two of them can go out on a date. of course they donât know that, but theyâre happy willâs going out more.
will totally has [m/n] model for him when painting.
[m/n] blushed when will called him his muse, muttering the word under his breath more than once.
will always shows him what heâs working on and though [m/n] doesnât have the best knowledge when it comes to art, he always shares his thoughts with will about what he likes about it.
will appreciated it.
together, the two of them are just so in love.
[m/n] doesnât waste a second to show how committed he is to this relationship, always showering will in all the love his soul could pour out until he knew that will knew the extent he was willing to go to just to get a point across.
will also wanted to show [m/n] that what he felt for him couldnât easily be replaced, that the only thing on his mind whenever they were together were the endless thoughts of how deeply in love he was with [m/n].
the two of them made it obvious that they were meant to be.
This is pure crack and it's hilarious
