Work Text:
Mike's been feeling a little guilty lately. He's been dating Will for three months now and it's been great! It's just that he hasn't told Will that he's trans yet.
Every time Will tries to do something normal couples will do, such as cuddle or even hug, Mike tells him no. The sad look Will gets after Mike denies a hug hurts so much. It's not that he doesn't want to do those things with Will, he's just afraid that Will's going to notice that his chest isn't flat.
He's been trying to work up the courage to come out to Will for a few weeks now but he's terrified. He doesn't doubt that Will will accept him, he just doesn't know if Will's going to want to continue dating him once he knows Mike isn't cis.
Mike decides he needs to just get it over with so he stops feeling so guilty all the time. It's their weekly Saturday date, and this weekend they're just holding hands on the couch and watching a movie. They decided on watching The Princess Bride. Mike can't focus on the movie, too many thoughts and worries about coming out racing through his head. He keeps glancing over at Will, and Will catches him doing it eventually.
"Why do you keep staring at me? Watch the movie."
"Oh uh sorry. I kind of need to tell you something."
Will can tell Mike's feeling nervous about what ever it is he's about to tell him so he turns his full attention towards him and offers an encouraging smile.
"What is it? You can tell me anything."
Mike feels even more nervous with Will's full attention on him, so he buries his fave into the couch and says it. It comes out really mumbled so Will gently turns Mike to face him and softly says "Hey, what ever it is you can tell me, okay? I won't be upset, if that's why you're so nervous."
"Okay, okay so I uh I'm trans." Mike barely manages to get out before burying his face in the couch cushions again.
The movie is still playing in the background so Will pauses it before saying "Mike, thank you for trusting me enough to tell me. You know I'll love you no matter what, right?"
Mike wants to cry tears of joy. He really thought Will wouldn't love him anymore after this.
Mike lifts his head from the couch and moves over to Will and hugs him.
"I love you so much Will." Mike says with his head resting on Will's shoulder.
"I love you too. I thought you didn't like hugging? What's this about?"
"Oh well it's kinda stupid, but I didn't want you to be able to tell that my chest isn't flat."
"Mike, baby, that's not stupid. That's a completely valid reason to not want anyone to hug you. I'm just so glad you trust me enough to."
Mike starts crying after that. He feels so overwhelmed with love. Meeting Will is the best thing that's ever happened to him. He's so grateful to have such an amazing person in his life.
After a little while of just holding on to each other, Mike says "Will? Can we uhm cuddle? It's just I've wanted to for a while but I couldn't because you know.."
"Of course we can! Do you want to go up to your room?"
"Yeah, let's grab some of these blankets so we'll be more comfortable up there."
They grab some blankets from the couch and make their way upstairs. Once they get to Mike's room they put the blankets on the bed and lay down. "Hey can I be big spoon?" Mike asks. "Definitely." Mike wraps both of his arms securely around Will's torso. Will opens his hand for Mike to grab so they can hold hands as well.
They lay like this for a few minutes, not talking and just enjoying each other's presence, when Will starts to yawn.
"Tired, love?" Mike asks.
"Yeah." Will manages to get out through a yawn.
"Go ahead and go to sleep. I'll wake you up before your curfew, okay?"
They adjust so that Will's laying his head on Mike's chest while Mike still has his arms wrapped around him.
"Goodnight, I love you"
"I love you too."
(Mike fell asleep too. Will did not wake up before his curfew. He thought getting in trouble the next day was worth it though.)
