love makes you crazy |byler|

8.

"mike, your boyfriends here!" nancy yells so mike could here her in his bedroom.

mike didn't reply, he just got out of his bed as quick as possible, maybe falling once or twice, tripping over things in his room.

"hey, will, uh what are you, uh, doing here?" mike said.

"sleepover, remember? am i the first one here?" will said back.

"oh, um yeah. sorry, come in, it's cold." mike says, stepping aside and opening the door all the way so the almond-haird boy can come in, closing the door behind him.

a few minutes later, the rest of the party showed up with their sleeping bags and pillows.

"what should we do?" max asks "but NO truth or dare!"

the group thought for a few minutes.

"fuck it, we'll play truth or dare." max finalises.

"okay, i'll go first." lucas states. "max, truth or dare?"

"truth."

"have you ever thought about dating someone other than me?" he asks.

silence filled the room for a few minutes, lucas still looks at her waiting for an answer.

"...maybe?" max says slowly.

"who?" dustin asks.

"nu uh, that's not how it works." she says.

"mike, truth or dare?" max asks.

"dare." mike says after thinking for a bit.

"kiss will."

"i thought you guys found it gross?"

"we don't, it's just teasing." jane says.

"whatever," mike says before pressing his lips to wills.

"max, truth or dare?" mike said.

"um, dare."

"who would you rather be with if not with lucas?" mike replied laughing, low-key knowing the answer.

"uh, um, j-jane." max stuttered.

"r-really?" jane replied.

"oh, um, that's okay, max. really, you can be with jane if you want to. i'm actually not mad. i like someone else too." lucas said genuinely.

"who?" dustin asks.

over the last few weeks it was obvious that jane and max had gotten closer, whilst lucas and the ginger-haired girl had been less close, but also over the last few weeks, lucas and dustin had hung out a lot more.

lucas was quiet for a little, trying to think if he should tell them, eventually landing on the idea that he really shouldn't. maybe eventually, but not now.

"i'll tell you guys later." lucas replies. "jane, truth or dare?"

"truth?" jane says unsurely, her tone changing to make her sound more sure. "yeah, truth."

"do you like max?"

"y-yeah, i do." she replys, her face turning red. she regains her composure after a couple of seconds. "dustin, truth or dare?"

"dare, you guys are so scared of it."

"play 7 minutes of heaven with lucas." she replies with a short laugh.

he got up, holding out his hand to help lucas up, opening the closet while mike starts the timer.

"aaaand go." they hear mike yell.

after the 7 minutes, the two boys come out, both red but it's not as noticeable on lucas that it is dustin. no one desides to ask questions, tho.

they decide to stop playing after a bit cause they all got pretty bored. they just sat there for a while, enjoying each other's company, the only sounds heard were the teenagers breathing, until will breaks the silence.

"you guys are the best people i've met throughout the years."

"will, remember the time you fell off your bike and broke your finger?" dustin recalled.

the 4 boys laughed at the memory.

"remember when max said that troy and james looked like a couple. jane did you hear about that?" lucas said.

"i heard something about that, yeah." jane said. they all started laughing.

"i don't know what i would do if i didn't meet you guys. you have changed my life." mike admitted.

"aww wheeler getting all soft." max teased.

"shut up mayfield." mike said playfully slapping her.

after a while, the group fell asleep. honestly they're all glad that they've met each other, cause if they haven't, their lives would be completely different.

they have built a family with each other. one better then their blood family.

the next morning, lucas and mike are the first ones up.

"mike," lucas whispered, careful not to wake anyone else up.

"what's up?" mike whispered back.

"i need to tell you something."

"okay, let's go up stairs so we don't have to keep whispering, i'm not used to it." mike quietly says going up the stairs and lucas followed.

"okay sinclair what's up?" mike says in a normal tone.

"it has to do with dustin, we should sit down." lucas says.

you know what happens when someone tells you to sit down for a conversation.

it's either really long or really serious.

"okay..." mike says sitting down, as does lucas. "tell me."

"in the closet, we uh, we-" lucas interrupted himself with a sigh. "we kissed." he mumbled.

"you what?" mike asks. lucas can't tell if he didn't hear him or can't believe it, so he repeats himself.

"we. kissed." lucas says more clearly.

"that's.. i didn't expect that, that's surprising. do you like him?"

"yeah, i think i do. but i don't know if he likes me, that's the problem."

"okay, well. let's go on a triple date. me and will, max and jane, and you and dustin. you don't have to tell him it's a date, if you want to, you can tell him it's just a normal hang out, but at a restaurant. but you ne-" mike got cut off by foot steps. mike had memorised everyone's footsteps, and those are..

"hey dustin, what's up?" lucas says.

"nothing, you guys know that we can hear you right? you talk suuuper loud." dustin says. you can see the panic in lucas' face.

"h-how much did you-"

"hear? all of it." dustin laughed. "it's okay, lucas. yes michael, we can go on a triple date."

"awesome. guess the whole friend group is fruity." mike said laughing, making the two other boys laugh as well.

"well, let's go back to the basement," lucas said getting up. "we have a triple date to plan."

"this is gonna be rad." dustin said.

"dude, never say rad, ever again." mike said. "no one says that."
