Dustin has a crush ;)

Class has ended not too long ago and Dustin was ranting to Will nonstop about how much he hated their teacher and how she was a stuck up bitch . Will started to tune him out as soon as he noticed a certain freckled boy walking down the hall talking off Lucas ' ear about God knows what . Dustin noticed and stopped his blabbering and just smirked at Will knowing exactly what was going on with him .

" Ahem . " was all Dustin said as Will jumped and turned back to Dustin with a small blush on his face .

" soo... are we gonna talk about the- " Will cut Dustin off with a smack on the shoulder as Mike stood next to Will staring at his hair longingly . Dustin laughed and put his hands up in defense . Lucas rolled his eyes smiling and stood next to Dustin leaning down to whisper into his ear .

" Dude Mike is OBSESSED with Will it's honestly painful . Do not recommend . " Dustin giggled in response nodding cupping his hand around his mouth whispering back glancing at Will and Mike .

" Yeah Will keeps staring at him all the time and I keep catching him drawing him and putting little hearts around it . Its honestly kind of cute . " Dustin turned back to those said boys and noticed the two staring at eachother with literal hearts for eyes . Lucas rolled his eyes and walked off to his next class . Dustin soon got bored being a third wheel and walked the opposite of Lucas to his class . He shared the class with Mike and Max while El and Will shared a class leaving Lucas alone .

Dustin walked into the class room and sat in his seat with a certain black haired boy on his mind . Lucas . (Duh) He didn ' t know why but his stomach started bursting with butterflies just thinking about him and his smile . Dustin quickly wiped the thought away as class began . The whole time the curly haired boy couldn ' t focus . All he could think of was Lucas and his dumb face and how his stomach swarmed with butterflies . ' do I . . . Like him ? . . ' Dustin soon brushed the thought off ,, face becoming a light shade of pink . ' no no ,, he ' s just a friend . I don ' t like him like that . . . Do I ? ' the curly haired boy was so lost in thought he didn ' t notice the bell ring or his two friends calling his name . He came back to reality when Max smacked his face .

" OW ! MAX WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR ? ! " Dustin yelled looking up at the fire haired girl and freckled ravenette upset .

" you were like - completely zoned out like you were in another world . Besides ,, class ended like . . . 6 minutes ago . Come on ." Max said staring down at the boy who was slowly getting up and collecting his items . He left the classroom with Mike and Max walking shortly behind him . Dustin wondered to his locker seeing the rest of the party talking at Wills locker . He put his items away and joined in on the conversation . He stared at Lucas and started to zone out admiring his facial features . His beautiful black eyes and sweet smile . He felt his face heating up and looked away continuing to listen to the groups random chatter as he zoned out into dream land once again only being awaken by the bell to signal their break was over and they needed to go back to class .

(TIME SKIP (lunch ♡)

The group made a bee line to their designated table with their lunches . El and Max sitting ( very ) close to eachother while Will and Mike where on opposite sides of the table blushing and " sneaking " glances at one another . The only people at that table who didn ' t notice were those same two boys . And then that leaves Dustin and Lucas next to eachother ,, whispering to eachother about how obvious Will and Mike like eachother . The same with ' Jane ' and Max . The group strayed away from their separate conversations and they all started talking together . Well ,, besides Dustin . He just sat there and stared at the boy next to him ,, mind wondering off . Then ,, right there . Dustin Henderson realized that he has a crush . On his best friend . Lucas Sinclair . His face heated up and his stomach filled with too many butterflies to count . Dustin pulled his eyes off of said best friend and stared intensely at his food . Lucas noticed him and his red face . Lucas poked his cheek to gain his attention .

" you good ? You ' re blushing like crazy ? What are you thinking about . Or - who 's on your mind ? " Lucas stared at his face as it grew darker . Dustin looked anywhere but his face tryna think of a quick excuse .

" I uhm . . I - t ' s . . . " Dustin turned away cursing at himself for stuttering like an idiot as Lucas ' face grew with concern and he grew intrigued to find out who has got his best friend blushing and stuttering .

" it ' s nothing ? . . " Dustin answered turning to Lucas as he cringed at himself .

" uhhh you sure ? " Lucas asked earning a small nod from the boy . Lucas shrugged it off .

" if you say so . But don ' t expect me to not bring up whoevers got my best man blushing like a mad man . " Lucas chuckled a little and turned back to the conversation the rest of the group was having .

The rest of the school day all Dustin could think about was his crush and how he had to get over it . Fast .

( PLEASEEE I suck at this but honestly . . . Oh well . I ' d be surprised if I get veiws saying that it ' s a Henclair story and an unpopular ship so... )
