A Drunk Miracle

An hour later, it was ten o'clock, Lucas and max were being lovey dovey looking for songs, and Dustin and El were casually talking. "So, hear me out, Cheetos and peanut butter," Will suggested. Mike immediately shook his head. "Are you crazy?" Mike widened his eyes at him, "That's disgusting." the two sat on the kitchen floor, drunk and a little hungry, looking for snacks. "Well, I'm not getting up again just cause you're a chicken." Mike immediately grabbed a spoonful of peanut butter and dipped a Cheeto into it. Before stuffing it into his mouth, "Will, this tastes so weird." He continued chewing, "But I can't stop eating it either." He curiously remarked. "I know right? Not too bad, but not super delicious." Will tasted his creation, satisfied with its yummy taste. "It's time to open presents!" Joyce announced, and everyone quickly flocked to the living room. Will and mike tried their best to look not drunk as they sat down next to each other, waiting to open them, El was looking at mike weirdly, but everyone else seemed to be having fun. Like last year, before they opened the presents from the friend group, Robin, Nancy, Jonathan, and Steve watched Jonathan recording. 

The first person to pass out gifts was Lucas. He went all over town looking for the right present, so they were all excited El got some waffle earrings, which she put on immediately. Dustin, a lizard he probably found at a lake, declared its name was Steve. And Max, a necklace with her name on it. She called him cheesy but smiled and wore it anyway. For mike, a Star Wars Lego set causing drunk mike to hug the box. And for Will, a painting set and decorations for his Will the Wise costume, and he also hugged his present, it was a game now.

After a few rounds of this, Will remembered his present for mike, "Mike, mike, you gotta see what I got you." He smiled and pulled it from behind a nearby couch. It was a comic book set from goosebumps, Mike's favorite franchise. He smiled in surprise and gave will a hug, which was unexpected, but he wasn't about to reject it. "How did you even know I wanted this it's awesome!" He looked at the colorful box. "Hold on," he grabbed a tube-like container and gave it to will. "Here's your gift." Will confusedly opened it to find a poster from his favorite band, The Clash. Okay, so, to be fair, they were drunk, and Will was really happy, and so was mike, so when he did a little happy dance that was out of sync, it was totally normal behavior. El and Dustin, along with Nancy and Jonathan, were looking on in confusion at their weird behavior. Max and Lucas had moved on already, though, and when they finally entered a song and started looking for another game to play, Will's mouth was now moving faster than his brain, a side effect of the alcohol. "Let's go dance, mike!" He smiled, mikes ultimate weakness.

Nancy and Jonathan found the kitchen, looking to refill the drinks and return them to everyone, confused at the mixture of Cheetos and peanut butter on the floor. when Jonathan heard an assortment of slurred laughs coming from the living room.

Jumping and spinning around the living room, mike was looking at Will as they both danced and sang gibberish that sounded like lyrics, and for some reason, Mike couldn't stop laughing. "Mike, I feel weird." Will dizzyingly stated mike responded by instead spinning them in circles in the living room, causing them both to feel weird. Jonathan and Nancy stared at will and mike, spinning and laughing, making non-sentences. "What's up with them?" she asked. Jonathan stared at will curiously. "I don't know, have you ever seen mike like that?" she continued watching her brother laugh at nothing and spin. "No, no, you ever seen will like that?" Jonathan watched in surprise as will giggled and stumbled forward, falling into Mike and laughing even harder. "Nope."

Mike laughed as will stood up and ran outside. He quickly followed, bumping into a wall on the way. Mike rubbed Will's back as he puked on the ground, Will regained his balance shortly after, sitting on the curb. Mike was staring at him again; Will knew he was about to tune him out for at least another minute.

"Miike," he called. Mike could barely hear him though he was distracted by the moonlight. It had a special effect, it was making Will glow, and he was sitting there, talking to him, as the moon highlighted his best features, his long eyelashes, and how his eyes looked like they were shining. Maybe it was the alcohol. He simply cupped Will's face in his hands. "You look pretty, Will." this made will look at him, smiling a hopeful smile. "Really?" "Yeah." Will heard the faint sound of El calling mike, "You should go, your girlfriend is looking for you." "N-no," he slurred. "I don't want her." he scrunched up his face with annoyance, Will knew mike was drunk, he was a little, too, but that sentence sparked hope in him.
