apocalypse byler part 10: senior prom scenario!

mike and will occupy the empty auditorium, seeing all the abandoned decorations that scatter the place. streamers are on the floor, balloons are deflated and the sign that says ‘HH SENIOR PROM’ is old and tattered, its one side hanging from the other.

the two boys take a minute walking around, to process the tragic image of a school event that never came to be. will picks up a lone decoration and tries to attach it to the wall with a somber smile on his face. mike on the other hand, looks at the display of empty tables and strokes his hand through the fabric.

‘i wonder how theyre doing.’

‘who?’ mike asks.

’the people. they were supposed to have their prom.’

‘yeah?’

‘so im just wondering how they are right now. so many memories could have been made. they were probably so excited, and it was stolen away, just like that. they didnt know any better either.’ will says, rubbing his fingers together inspecting specks of dust. ‘they must have been so confused… scared.’

‘its not your fault. we’re going to take everything back the way it was.’ mike says in an instant, as if he knew what will was gonna say. will looks back at mike, then to the streamers, and nods slowly.

‘yeah…you’re right. sorry.’

mike stares at will for a while until he clears his throat. ‘you ever had dances back in cali?’

will smiles, shrugging. ‘yeah, one time. it was a smaller event but it was fun.’

mike smiles back, but it quickly fades. ‘did you..manage to meet anyone?’ mike asks.

will chuckles, smirking at mike. ‘well fortunately for you…no. i had some girls who asked me, but i said no.’

mike crosses his arms and looks down with a grumpy look. ‘if it were you 4 years ago, youd be dancing with girls all night.’

will blushes. ‘you’re exaggerating. it was only 2 girls, anyway.’

mike walks to will with a teasing grin on his face. ‘Will the Heartbreaker.’ has a nice ring to it.’ will giggles, punching mike gently on his stomach. ‘i am not.’

’good,’ mike say softly behind will, making the other boy turn around. mike then wraps his arms around will’s waist and pulls him close, making him gasp. ‘i only want you breaking my heart.’

will’s smile drops. ‘..i dont want to break your heart at all.’

’i don’t mind if you did. especially how much of a dumbass i was, i kinda deserve it.’ mike says it jokingly, but will’s kicked puppy dog expression stays the same, making mike’s humerous demeanor drop immediately.

will looks into mike’s eyes, putting both of his hands on his cheek. ‘stop saying that. all you deserve is the best.’ he retorts.

’well… good thing i already have the best.’ mike says with the biggest shit eating grin as their faces draw closer, their foreheads touching.

‘god, you’re such a dork.’ will whispers, looking down. he moves his hands from mike’s cheeks to around his neck, pulling mike closer than he already was. ‘i dont think i can handle you during an actual prom date.’

’oh you wouldnt, byers. im gonna be the cheesiest goddamn date youll have.’

‘oh yeah?’

’yeah. i have plans.’ mike says smugly.

’you thought about it?’ will presses, with mike nodding. will’s curiosity was getting the best of him, and feels himself getting bold.

‘…what would you prefer our prom date be like?’

with mike’s hands around will’s waist and will’s around his neck, it didnt take long for them to start swaying their bodies together. there was no music, only the sound of their gentle breathing. for both of them, it was more than enough.

‘hmm. let’s see. i’d uh..pick you up from your house…’

’mhmmm?’ will hums, looking at mike with so much love. his mouth starts to hurt from smiling.

’id give you flowers.’ will scoffs and rolls his eyes. mike chuckles and continues.

‘… and a mixtape,’ will looks up at mike once again. ‘..of all the songs that reminded me of you when you were gone.’ the two boys smile at each other.

’and we’d take photos. id hold your hand. our moms would be all over us.’

will laughs in response. ‘we’d never make it to prom at that point.

mike giggles. ‘yeah.’

he notices will bite his lip and avoiding mike’s gaze. ‘whats up?’ he asks.

will loves the way mike wont let him have any thought unspoken.

‘would you want to do that to yourself, though..?’

mike furrows his eyebrows, still not getting at what will’s saying.

’would you want to be seen with me?’

mike stops in his steps, ceasing their swaying motion. will’s gaze was still averted, clearly fearful.

‘i just dont want you to feel uncomfortable. i dont wanna pressure you or feel like you have to be seen with me because-

mike puts his one hand on will’s face and brushes his thumb on his cheek.

‘will. i love being with you. and i want people to see me be with you. and if they have a problem with that?’

mike’s thumb gently lifts will’s chin up, making their eyes meet. ‘’then they can go to hell.’

will stays silent, taken aback by mike’s simple but impactful words. its as if his worries were washed away in an instant. not too long after, his eyes are flooding with tears.

‘…are you sure?’

mike sighs and kisses will’s forehead. ‘yes. when this is all over, i swear to god im taking you to prom. and not just prom, but dates too. we’ll listen to music together. i’ll introduce you properly to my parents. and all the things i said before wont just be a fantasy anymore. we’ll be out in public, where everyone can see us. i dont want to hide anymore, will.’ will’s lips curl up the more he hears mike talk.

mike looks at him with expectant eyes. ‘do you… feel the same way?’

’yeah!…yeah.’ will sniffs. ‘i do. id really like that.’

‘cool!’ mike replies, his voice cracking. the two boys start laughing together.

‘cool.’

mike stops laughing and looks at will in the eyes with a confident smile. ’remember, whatever happens..’

’..we’ll face it together.’
