????? (Completed)

Mike, Will and..Popcorn?

while dustin was the fire starter, lucas fanned the flames. together, they had already planned a sleepover with everyone, ending with them leaving at eight so mike and will could schedule next week's dnd session.

okay, i got this, i only kissed mike, one time, and while it was fantastic, and he'd do it again in a heartbeat- he and mike were still friends. i was just teaching mike what a kiss was supposed to feel like while verifying my feelings in the process,

will continued checking his house for snacks smiling to himself, knowing he wasn't going to be a nervous wreck tonight. 

later, the whole party piled in, minus el and max. will was confused at this, he assumed mike was bringing el tonight, but he shrugged it off and put ghostbusters in the vhs. maybe 15 minutes into the movie, they were all comfortable, Mike sitting next to him just like old times. Will started to settle into comfort as well. "Hey Will," Dustin called out. "What?" "tag!" Dustin tagged him on the shoulder and dashed to the other side of the room, Will quickly followed, running around the table twice before catching him.

Mike, who had been standing still, was pulled down under the table to hide while Dustin ran around looking for Lucas. Will stayed silent, listening as Lucas got caught and looked around the stairs. Mike quickly formed a plan and knocked down a chair. As expected, Lucas dashed towards the table and tagged Will while Mike ran upstairs.  Will immediately dashed after the traitor, He caught mike running into his room, then he ran in the opposite direction and tagged Dustin. And sped into the basement, hiding under an assortment of big blankets they had piled previously for maximum comfort. Now used as a makeshift hiding spot, He waited until Lucas hid under the table and Dustin hid under a desk after throwing a sheet over it.

Mike quietly walked down the stairs, scanning the room, Will watched as Mike walked around the table, missing Lucas, And swiftly towards the blankets. Will held his breath, trying to make as little movement as possible.
Mike bought it and kept looking by the curtains. Will could finally breathe again, and the leading silence was deafening. before mike shouted, "Hey Dustin!" Causing everyone to jump up and reveal their spots

20 minutes later while they were playing Monopoly

"Lucas, give Dustin two-hundred dollars, you landed on his property." Mike said.
Lucas defiantly protested. "No, he's in jail, I'm not gonna give money to a criminal!" Dustin sighed in frustration. "That's not how you play!"
Will walked back in from the kitchen with chips. "Mike, why don't we just pay to get him out of jail?" "Will, you don't get to talk after stealing my last railroad!"

They all erupted into argument before agreeing Monopoly was not the best game for them, they settled for Back To The Future instead.

"Will." Mike sort of Whispered. "yeah?" "I think you left the popcorn in the microwave." He whispered in that suspicious secret-y tone.
"um, okay?" Will stood up to go get the popcorn, and Mike followed.

"So is there some hidden secret in this popcorn or something?"
Will opened the bag and began pouring it into a bowl. "It's not the popcorn, it's just.." Will felt the urge to raise an eyebrow but he waited patiently. "it's about el, I'm kind of planning of surprising her with a date since she never gets to leave the house, and I had gotten permission from Hopper."

Confusion expanded across his face, but he was curious. "I thought you and el had an argument." "yeah, I got permission before then, but I plan to make up with her soon." That last part made Will feel uncomfortable, but he pushed through.
"wait, so why are you telling me this?"
Mike awkwardly glanced up at him in response.
"Well, the thing is, I want the whole thing to be perfect, and I want to end the night all romantic like in movies."
