Will POV
What did you have done?
What did you have done?
It was the question that I was repeating myself while looking at my sister dying in Mike arms
How I could be so stupid?
Of course it was a real dagger
Of course Henry the witch trick me to do this
Of course now Mike will hate me forever
What did I have done?
"El! El can you hear me?!" Mike was screaming while holding her
I should say something, anything…
He's my twin sister after all
But I was just panicking, I didn't know what to do…
At least, if things were going like that, I wouldn't have known what to do
But it was just in my imagination, as all this scenario
So, I just saw Mike and El hug each other while I was hiding on the brushes
And then I realized, I would never kill my sister even if it was for a joke
That probably things would end up with Mike hating me more then he already is
So, while I was looking at the happy couple smiling to each other
I decided to just do the only reasonable thing to do
Use this dagger with me and see if it's fake or not
Mike POV
"Did you hear that noise?" I asked, I heard something was moving behind the bushes
"It's probably Will. He organized this date though" she said smiling
"Wait? He did?" I asked confused
"Yes, he thought Lover's Lake was a really romantic spot. Also, it's his favorite place in Hawkings and, it wanted to be special for us. So, you fall in love with me or something"
"Wow, I thought… I thought he was ignoring me all day. For a moment, I thought he knew about my stupid crush for him, and he was try to make fun of me by you dating me"
"Why did you think that?!" she asked angry like how I could think this low of Will
"Well, because one time I was dating this girl in middle school. And my career as a singer was starting. So, one time she asked me to see each other at the mall and she…She with her friends called me names like 'Frog face' and stuff" I said a little sad for that moment
"She said I will never be a star or a singer because my voice sucks. She laughs at me in circle with her friends and if it wasn't not for my sister Nance. I don't know if I was still okay physically speaking"
"Mike, I'm sorry for what she did to you. But my brother will never hurt you in any conscionable way. He's truly incapable of it"
I laugh at that…
Will have organize this date…
So maybe, it's the kind of date he wants to with someone…
"Will…There's someone Will likes?" I said a little sad
"Sorry if I asked that. It's just…If he organized this date, maybe it's because he wants a date like this with someone" I added
El looked at me with an annoyed face
"Did I stutter before or something?!" she said
"No"
"Will likes you. Really really likes you. And as I said, he's too of a chicken to ask you out"
What
"T-There's impossible…"
"Mike, c'mon. You never see as my brother is around you? He always look at you with some dreamy eyes. He wants to know every place where your concerts goes. He wants to know what you like, what do you love. He's always, constantly talking about you all the time" she said
"What…He…He really likes me…?" I said, I couldn't believe what El said
"Yes! He even thought one time you dedicate one of your song to him"
Oh
How could I be so blind?
How could I be so stupid?
Of course, he likes me
That's why he was avoiding me today because, see me going out with his sister made him jealous
Oh
"You're so cute when you blush. You know?" El said mocking
"Shut up" I said
"So, we're good? I mean, we could be friends if you want?" she said
"Yeah, it sounds pretty great" I said
Then she came to give me an hug and I reciprocated
"There's just one thing you should know about Will. Well, about Will and I specifically" she said while hugging
"What it is?" I asked
"It's complicated to say but all you need to know that Will was the one who saved you"
What
"You, remember when your boat was going down and you and your family, were drawing in the sea…"
"How did you know that…?"
"Because I was there. That day, I was there, watching all the scene. And so were Will"
"How?! I mean, how could you saw us!? We were in the ocean…"
"I know, but it's not me to tell but Will. That's all I could say about this"
Wait so if they were there then…
"I have to talk with Will" I said breaking the hug
"You really should" she said with a little smile
This is how I search Will in Hawkings with the hope that what I was thinking was the truth…
Which is…
Will was my savior back then…
Will POV
I was back in school at night…
At the place where I met Mike the first time…
How could I be so stupid?
It was never my love story for the start…
It was always about Mike and El…
A siren and a human…
That's how the story work and that's why I know I'm the one that don't belong here…
I hated being here, being bullied by some mouth breather called me gay, f*g, queer….
I hated being in a group that deep down I know I don't belong because they will always like my sister better as Lucas and Max do…
Dustin at least was decent with me but he also made me feel like a freak…
Expect…
Mike…
Mike was the one understanding me…
He knows me…
He knows where I'm down, when I'm up, when I try to hide myself from others, when I want something…
Like the time he gave me as a present the new Spiderman volume…
His music too…
Every time I hear his voice is like my mind is drawing in another ocean…
And that's strange because sirens and tritons were supposed to captivate with their voices…
Not humans…
But he will be always special to me and for all the things he did for me…
That's why I want him to be happy…
And the only thing I could do to make him happy is to cut me off from the game…
I thought while having in my hands the dagger, pointing it almost to my chest…
I was hesitating a little because of the fear
But deep down I know this is the only way it could finish all mine and El suffering…
That's why later I hade the guts to put the dagger closer to my chest…
Until a voice wakes me up from my suicide thoughts…
Vecna POV
"Finally, Will Byers will be one of my victims. And the King of Sea, Hopper, will be so devasted that a war will start from California to Hawkings" I said while watching the scene in my crystal ball
"The prophecy will happen! AND I WILL GET MY REVENGE FROM ALL THE SEA CREATURES THAT DECIDED TO CAST ME AWAY FROM MY TRONE"
I was laughing from pure joy of my perfect plane until I saw that little piece of shit of Mike Wheeler taking the dagger away from Will and hug him like all his life depends on Will Byers' life…
How pathetic…
These two are so in love with each other and I HATE IT FROM ALL MY HEART!
WILL BYERS HAS TO DIE!
SO, if Will will not do it…
I WILL KILL HIM FROM MYSELF!
Will POV
Warm…
That's the sensation I was feeling while hugging the love of my life…
Warm and softness…
"HOW COULD YOU…" said Mike with a voice almost breaking.
"How could you were to do something like this…" he added
"I-I'm sorry" I said, I didn't know how words came out from my mouth
"Right! You should be sorry! Because, if something happens to you! I would never forgive me for that!" he said starting to cry on my shoulder…
"What…Mike, you shouldn't blame yourself for something I did want to do…" I said breaking the hug
Mike was looking at me with the sadness face I ever see…
"D-Don't…Don't say you wanted to do it…Why?" Mike was rumbling now
"Because! – I said almost angry he stopped me – Because… Because how could I not?! You're in love with El! For all this time, you were only in love with my sister! And it took you a date to hug her and looking at her so in love that. I wanted to disappear!"
"What? I'm not in love with you sister!" he said, I don't believe him
"Don't tell me bullshit Mike. I know, that you want her and not me…" I said the last part lowering my voice
"Will, did you know who my muse is from my love songs?" he asked
"What does this mean…I don't understand"
"Before I met you. I never knew what love was. I…I dated a few girls, and I was never in love with them. Or I never felt what I was supposed to feel…" he said, I was looking at him a little curious of how this conversation was going…
"I never wrote a love song. And when my agent said it was time to write love songs. I was panicking…" he added
"I don't get what you are saying Mike…" I was perplexed
"Let me explain. After panicking, I decided to go for a boat trip in California with my parents and my sister. For finding a muse to guide me and inspiring me. And in the end of that trip. After all the bad that happened, I found it…"
"I finally found it. Because that muse, saved me from the ocean. It saved me and I would do everything to save them back" he added
"What are you trying to say…" I was panicking, maybe he knows I was the one that…
"Will, from the moment we met on the swings. I knew you were familiar. I didn't get why from the start. But after El told me you were there. You were there when my boat dropped down. I got it…"
Oh no
"You were the one who saved me, right?"
"Mike…"
"It's all clear now! I knew deep down was you. I mean how could your hair and voice were so familiar to my ears! That's why I could stop to write love songs about you…"
Oh
"You…You did dedicate to me…your songs…?"
"Of course, I did. I'm in love with you!" he said smiling while take away his tears with his hands
"You…You're in love with me?"
"How could I not? I've been in love with you from the moment we met"
Oh
"Mike…" I said starting cry from joy
"Will" he replied
"I…I never thought I had a chance with you…"
"Me too…" he said pulling me for another hug
"I thought you were playing with my feelings for you…" I said while melting into this hug
"I thought it too for a moment" he said smiling
"What…"
"It doesn't matter. All that matters now, it's…That we are together and crazy in love about each other, haha"
"Yeah, crazy together" I said happy
The sparkling was there as the atmosphere was getting all like in a romantic scene of a movie…
We were now looking at each other eyes…
They were full of love and adoration…
How could I ever not have seen it before?
He did look at me as I look at him every time, we are close…
And as I saw his face coming closer to my lips, I was gulping and taking my eyes on his lips…
On his beautiful pink lips…
We were about to kiss, until I didn't feel my legs anymore…
"WILL BYERS!"
"YOUR TIME IS UP!"
Vecna…
"Will!" said Mike
"How did you…" I said
"WHAT? DO YOU NOT THINK I CAN TAKE A HUMAN FORM BY MYSELF!?"
"You said…The only way to do it is to make a price…"
"OH MY LITTLE TRITON I CAN DO ANYTHING AS THE WITCH OF THE SEA"
"You…You tricked me…"
"FOR A BETTER CURSE. YOU SEE, YOUR FATHER TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME AND I WILL REPAY HIM WITH THE SAME COIN!" he said with an evil laugh
"Will! Will what's happening?!" asked Mike confused
"OH LITTLE FROG FACE MICHEAL. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, DON'T YOU? YOUR PRECIOUS LOVER WAS NEVER AN HUMAN"
"No! No, it can't be!"
"REALLY? THINK ABOUT THAT DAY HE SAVED YOU. IT WASN'T STRANGE THAT YOU NEVER SAW ANOTHER BOAT NEAR YOURS OR HEARING OTHER VOICES IN THE OCEAN? HOW COULD HE AND HIS SISTER SAW YOU IF THEY WERE NOT SWIMMING CLOSER TO YOUR BOAT?"
"No…" Mike said
"Stop it!" I screamed
"WHY I SHOULD? AFTER ALL, YOU ARE A TRITON WILL BYERS AS YOUR SISTER. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE. LOOK MIKE. LOOK LIKE HIS FISH TAIL COMING OUT FROM HIS HIPS – he said while my legs were hurting so much that I start to cry – HE'S A FISH. A TRITON"
"Mike" I said crying
"Will!" he said taking me by his arms
"You-You're not disgusted by me…?" I asked
"How could I?! I love you remember? Don't matter what you are"
"But I lied to you about… my true form…"
"I lied to you about my sexuality. I think we're fair now, don't we?"
A little smile came out to my lips as Mike was getting closer to me
Finally, our lips were touching and my heart was beating so fast that I didn't know any more if I was alive…
"OH REAL SWEET. BUT MAYBE YOU FORGOTTEN AN IMPORTANT POINT HERE. WILL BYERS IS MINE NOW" Vecna said while taking me close to him with his hands
"Will! What this moster is saying?!" asked Mike confused
"I'm sorry Michael. I, I wanted to tell you all the truth. You don't know how many times I wanted to tell you. But it's too late now" I said, because it was true...
I made a deal that would have kill me if my Mike wouldn't fall in love with me
And now that he said what I always wanted him to say. What I wished with all my heart an desire he would say to me...
It's too late...
I don't have powers to defeat Vecna and he slowly killing me by his octopus...
My sister probably hates me because Mike doesn't love her...
Mike on the other hand, I think is paralyzed...
Wait...
Why I don't hear Mike voice anymore?
"Take this motherfucker!" a voice said
Wait, what it's happening right now...
As I open my eyes, I saw what was like the painting I've been working on...
Lucas using his sling to hurt Vecna's eyes...
Dustin and Max using fireworks to distract him...
El using his voice to sing and make Vecna's ears perish...
And Mike...
Mike was there with a sword in his hands...
Not any swords, as I recognize...
That was Jonathan's sword, the one that could kill any monster of the sea...
A very special one because, just who have a heart of a Triton king can use it...
Of course, he's the heart. I thought while having a sad smile in my face...
And as I saw Vecna being distracted by the lights and the sounds of everyone...
I watched Mike Wheeler running against the witch...
Running through a pile of rocks and taking a jump close enough to hit Vecna's heart with the sword...
And as I saw Vecna dying, his octopus left me fall to the ground...
Luckly, Lucas took me in time...
"Here you go buddy" Lucas said as he left me sit on the ground...
"Thank you" I replyed
"Will! Will are you alright!?" both Mike and El asked while hugging me with all their strengths...
I didn't reply as tears came down from my eyes...
"I thought I was dying tonight..." I whispered
Mike holds me tighter...
"You wouldn't" a familiar voice said
And as I broke my hug with El and Mike, I saw the one person I thought I would never see again....
"Jonathan!"
"Hello little brother"
