Will POV
"Oh, so this is your boyfriend?" Max mocked as Will stared at the massive billboard in front of him. Max continued "I don't understand why you like him so much, he's like every other guy"
He sighed at her statement; Will loved the dreamy boy with ebony eyes. "I just wish I could meet him one day. Make him see the real me, you know?" Max nodded; she could see the pain in the boy's eyes. She pushed him aside and started to analyse the poster. She began to speak "Actually that day may be closer than you think... He's going to come to Hawkins tonight for a movie premiere and I think I could get you in" Max explained herself. Will practically jumped from glee; lips turned upward. He graciously thanked Max; grabbed her hand and took her to his house.
They entered Byers household, his mum waved beginning a short conversation with Max. Joyce knew Max quite well; Will and Max have been best friends they were 10. Will was turning red as the two girls gossiped about the brown-haired boy when he was young. They giggled and snickered until Will had enough and practically pried his nosey friend away from his mother. He dragged her to his room.
"I have no clue what to wear" Will grumbled. He threw all his fancy clothes onto the bed; Max assessed them as she made disgusted faces by some of the choices. "Seriously! We really need to take you shopping" the redhead spat.
She sighed, throwing around clothes trying to find the best ones. Halfway through, Max recruited Joyce to find the best clothes.
Will was sitting on the side waiting for the girls to choose. He stared at the gift he had for Mike. It was a small painting that he had made himself. Will mentally facepalmed; he knew that the great film star Michael Wheeler wouldn't accept a painting made by a random boy. Will was a nobody to Mike. He started to doubt this whole plan.
Picking up on his behaviour, Max excused herself from Joyce walking over to Will. Will had his head down on the table ashamed and hopeless.
"You know it's times like this that it's good to carry a good luck charm- Here" Max comforted, taking off the good luck charm and wrapping it around Will's wrist. Will didn't believe in good luck charms and therefore unmoved by Max's words.
She embraced him tightly and reminded Will of Mike's kind nature. Will hugged back.
"I FOUND ONE!" Joyce interrupted and held up one of Johnathan's shirts. "It's a bit loose but I think we could manage to make it work"
Will got ready in his room as Joyce took Max to get ready in hers.
Twenty minutes later, Max called from the hall. Will was about to leave, he debated taking the wrapped gift with him. He hesitated, finally deciding to take it as he rushed out the door and hopped into the car.
Max and Will were early, they arrived in Joyce's car as she was on the late shift tonight. Will thanked his mother as they got out. Joyce quickly gave the kids a 'safety talk'. Will and Max listened eyeing the slowly forming crowd to ensure them a place at the front. Joyce then drove off shouting one more "be safe".
At the time they arrived the place was being set up, velvet ropes where being put, the fancy carpet was being rolled out and spotlights, along with a variety of other lights where being strung.
Hours later and Will and Max were still waiting, telling jokes and goofing off as a crowd started to form behind them. The crowd grew large until neither could see the end of people. The lights dimmed; the spotlight focused on the limousine arriving.
"Here comes the king of romance, Dustin Henderson and his beautiful girlfriend Suzie" the loudspeaker boomed as they stepped out of the car. Hand in hand, high-fiving and waving to everyone around, the crowd cheered and called his name. Dustin high-fived Max and Will, both of whom swooned "I'm never going to wash my hand again" Will chuckled at his friend's crazy remark. Dustin and Suzie walked to the reporter who asked them questions, they said that they had a huge secret to announce in a few weeks. "I bet she's pregnant" Max giggled as the speaker continued.
"And now arriving is the star of the evening. The alluring boy himself, Michael Wheeler!" The car door opens

Will could hear his heartbeat; his palms were sweaty. He clutched his painting; He could barely hear the crowd, it was as if the whole world had disappeared in that moment, it was only him and Mike. Mike exited the car confidently gliding over, the crowd started to barge Will and Max even though they were at the front being pushed back by bodyguards. Paparazzi flashed lights and took pictures of the Masterpiece of a human in front of them.
Mike was wearing a classic black suit, a fancy watch and dress shoes. He also wore a small messenger bag. He would always wear only the best clothes at premiers.
Mike waved at the crowd, blinded by the lights but with a huge smile painted on his face. Will knew Mike hated large crowds. Mike continued but turned his face to wave at those on the left, Will frowned and looked over to Max who was starting to lose her voice from all the shouting. Until he felt a tug.
He looked down at his good luck charm. A tassel from Mike's bag appeared to be stuck. He started to follow the taller boy somehow slipping pass security onto the red carpet. Max smirked, cheering him on. Mike continued walking.
Mike turned around sensing a presence, a face full of confusion and worry flushed over. Will raised his right arm. Mike giggled as he began to fix this issue. Time seemed to stop as their faces where inches apart Will stared at the boy's features examining them carefully. His mullet was perfect, Will admired that Mike still rocked his hair. His pink lips pursed, and his deep brown eyes were deep in thought as he undid the knot in the bracelet.
Before Mike could turn around, Will nervously handed his gift to the taller to which Mike smiled. Will blushed red as Mike was forced to continue walking painting in hand; the brown-haired boy was pulled away by bodyguards.
Mike turned around, Will dramatically made a large heart with his hands. Mike grinned, making Will's heart explode; his blush was redder than ever.
Max managed to scare away the guards by telling a convincing lie. The guards reluctantly let go of Will and he only had one question
"So how do we get in?"
