“Okay bye Carlton, I’m going to assassinate Trump now.” Will said casually.
“Good luck, babe!” Carlton responded. He flinched at Carlton’s words, then headed to the door. Little did Will know that Carlton was planning something as well.
Will slipped on his shoes, duffel bag in hand. He stepped down the stairs of his and Carlton’s apartment. They had moved in together just a month ago, for their 7 month anniversary.
He opened the door and started the car to head to the rally.
He turned on the radio and then heard the most horrendous song.
“WE ARE CHARLIE KIRK, WE CARRY THE FLAME, WE’LL FIGHT FOR THE GOSPEL WE’LL HONOR HIS NAME”
“What is this shit?” Will exclaimed, annoyed.
He switched the channel and heard the song.
“When you wake up next to her in the middle of the night, with your head in your hands you’re nothing more than his wife, and when you think about me all of those years ago, you’re standing face to face with I told yo-“
Will internally combusted at this, he ripped the speaker out of the car and threw it onto the side of the road.
He sighed. Everything leads back to him. Suddenly his mind was filled with memories and flashbacks of Mike, his doomed yaoi took control of him. He couldn’t tell where he was steering and his car turned right over. Shart. He thought as his head hit the window breaking it into 7 thousand pieces.
“Will?!”
Will heard a voice faintly say. How did they know his name?
Will looked up but his vision was blurry and the sunlight was glaring into his eyes. He could make out a head with curly black hair but the face was unclear.
“C-Carlton?” Will asked weakly.
“Will? It’s Mike.”
WHAT. JSBHDHEHEHS. Mike?
Will’s vision became clear again and he saw Mike looking down at him.
“Will, are you okay?” Mike asked, panicking.
“Yeah, I’m okay. What’s going on?”
“Well, I saw you on the side of the road so I brought you with me. We’re at a Trump rally.”
Will opened his eyes to see that Mike had a hat on. It said “MAGA”.
Will gasped. “W-w-what. Mike, why are you wearing that?”
Immediately after saying this, Will jumped up and zestily ran away. His thoughts were consuming him. How could Mike betray him like this?
“Will! Wait!” Mike's voice screamed across the chatter of weirdo republican ahhs.
“Will, just let me explain! Please!!” Mike sounded desperate.
“Leave me alone Mike!” Will yelled back.
“Will! It’s my girlfriend! She made me-”
Will’s thoughts stopped. “G-g-g-g-g-girlfriend?”
“Wait! But it’s not-“ Mike paused for a couple seconds “I’m gay! I love you, I always have! Please forgive me!”
Will stopped running and he looked back.
“W-w-what?” Will shakily asked, in pure shock.
He tried to go over to him but all that he saw was middle-aged homophobic white people attacking Mike.
“He has the demon inside him!”
“You need to repent to God!”
“It’s Adam and Eve not Adam as Steve!”
“Brothers! Brothers!” A man said, he sounded as if swallowed a cockroach “Gather around! We must say a blessing for his poor, demonic soul.”
Everyone stepped to the side and the man walking towards Mike was no other than Donald Trump. He places his hands on Mike's bruised forehead and ripped out hair.
“Did Charlie Kirk die for some homosexual to ruin our rally?!” Trump asked everyone.
“NO!!” They all responded in unison.
“Good boys. Now everyone, pray with me. For Charlie!!”
“For Charlie!!!”
They all started humming a slow tune.
Aaaah-ahhhh-ahhhh-ahhhhhhhh-ahhhhhhhhhh-ahhh-ah-ah
Donald held up three fingers, then two, then one. He placed his hand on Mike's forehead once more, then everyone sang.
“He stood unshaken. Voice in the storm. A man of conviction. A heart reborn.”
Oh my god. Will thought to himself as he rolled his eyes.
“He spoke the truth when the cost was high. He lived for Jesus, unafraid to die.”
Everyone stomped on the floor in a steady beat 3 times.
“WE ARE CHARLIE KIRK. WE CARRY THE FLAME. WE’LL FIGHT FOR THE GOSPEL, WE’LL HONOR HIS NAME. WE ARE CHARLIE KIRK, HIS COURAGE OUR OWN.”
Then they all grabbed each other's hands.
“Together unbroken we’ll make heaven known.”
They all looked down at the floor and many of them were crying.
“Rest in peace baby.” Trump said, then he blew a kiss up to the sky.
“Well that’s a little gay” Will said quietly as he chuckled to himself.
Everyone’s heads looked away from the floor and towards Will. All of their faces showed disbelief.
“What did you say to me boy?” Donald said as he snapped his head to the side.
“What- I- uh..”
“Me and Charlie have a very special platonic friendship, if you dare insult me again I swear I’ll-“
“That’s what I said about Will.”
Everyone gasped and looked over to see Mike standing on a rainbow that was about 7 feet tall.
“What?” A random man asked.
“I just said that our friendship was a special one, nothing romantic but look at me now, my love for him is so strong it’s brought me mlm magic.”
“Attack him!!” Trump yelled, his face expressed nothing but raw anger and pure hate.
Everyone charged but Mike simply moved his rainbow over to Will and slid down it.
“Will… Ever since the day that I saw you on the swingset and I asked you to be my friend I knew that I would one day ask you this as well.”
Tears ran down Will’s face as he covered his mouth with his palms.
Mike went down on one knee and held out a box to reveal a ring inside.
“Will Byers, Will you marry me?”
“Yes!” Will sniffed “I will.”
“I Mike.” Mike said as he slid the ring onto Will’s finger.
“You dirty cheating liar!!” Trump screamed, “Will, how could you do this to me?”
Everyone looked shocked.
“What do you mean?” Will asked in utter confusion.
Trump then grabbed his yellow hair and some of his wrinkly orange forehead and pulled. A silicone mask came right off and revealed Carlton’s face underneath.
Everyone gasped in shock. Whispers spread around. Then anger rose.
“Where are you keeping Donald?!” An angry woman asked.
“There was never a Donald Trump”
Carlton laughed maniacally, “It has. always. been. me.”
Everyone stood, frozen for about 15 seconds. Suddenly, a face formed in the sun.
“Everyone, look! It’s Charlie!” An elderly woman exclaimed as she pointed her finger to the sun.
Everyone gasped.
“Sugar lump, h-how could you do this to me..?” Charlie said, shaken.
“Muffin-boo, I’m sorry. I-“
“Was any of it even real?” Charlie’s voice was broken.
“Of course it was, I loved you!!”
“L-loved?” Charlie was angry. “Not love? You don’t love me anymore?”
“Honey bun, I didn’t mean-“
“Goodbye Donald, if that’s even who you are.”
Then, the sun exploded, and all that was left was darkness.
“We’ve been following a gay this whole time!” Someone shouted.
Everyone started screaming and running, trying to attack Carlton.
“No guys I promise I’m not gay!! Please believe me!” Carlton yelled as he pushed the people to the ground.
Though there was much violence and threats, Will and Mike had no fear. They took each other's hand and used their mlm magic to make a big glowy rainbow, they rode the rainbow up into the sky and made a sun out of it. Then they slid down hand in hand back to the surface.
All the people stood in a crowd frozen in shock, as they watched them land to the surface.
Mike turned towards Will’s and grabbed his other hand. Everyone watched as they looked longingly into each other's eyes. Mike grabbed Will’s waist and kissed him. Will threw his arms over Mike’s shoulders and kissed him back.
“DISGUSTING” Carlton yelled, waiting for a response from the people, instead they all cheered. Celebrating their new sun and Mike and Will’s new found love.
“I cannot believe this- this mockery!”
Will and Mike looked at each other then the others. They shared a knowing look and without a second thought, Will and Mike used their homosexual harmony to disintegrate Carlton with their magical rainbow.
The end
