WILL POV-

A sombre tone enveloped the car as the pair sat quietly. Will looked out the window watching the raindrops race each other in amusement. Mike snuck glances at the chestnut-haired boy, a smile crept on his face, keeping his eyes on the road

"How come you came to Starcourt?" Will blurts, tilting his head towards the raven-haired boy.

"Oh... Umm I was just passing by, and I thought I'd get an ice-cream" Mike stutters keeping his eyes on the road

"In this weather?" Will joked glancing out the window once again

"I guess I just really wanted ice-cream" The taller boy smiled moving his head around. The car returns to silence as the raven-haired boy passed the aux cord to Will. The chestnut-haired boy grabbed the cord, humming the song he played from the radio. The chestnut-haired boy danced to the rhythm.

Mike raced towards Will's house; rain drops covered the window. Upon reaching the Byers household thunder struck a sound nearby. Mike looked at the quaint house, it was a bungalow surrounded by a thick forest.

"Would you like to come inside?" The shorter boy questioned tilting his head towards the taller male. Mike smiles, nodding. The taller boy opens his door rushing towards the passenger side to open the door for Will, holding an arm out to the smaller boy. He smiles.

The pair stand under the shade of the patio, rain pouring heavier outside obscuring the vision of the two friends.

Thunder strikes

Will jumps startling by the sound. Mike looks at the shorter boy who takes his keys out stumbling. Keys jingle in his hands, the smaller boy pushed open the door, the time was 9:30 PM. The pair tiptoes into the living room seeing an empty home

"I'M HOME MOM! I brought a friend over" the smaller boy shouts shaking water out of his chestnut hair.

"Hi honey. Hi Max" Joyce shouts from her bedroom.

"It's not Max" the smaller boy spoke back looking towards the taller boy who smiles awkwardly.

"Oh, is it your new friend Lucas?" Joyce responds giggling

"No, no it's not" the smaller boy replies stuttering

"Oh okay. I'll be out in a minute" she adds. The auburn-haired woman walks out her room looking at the two faces that stood in the room, Will stood with a tall boy who remained in shadows, unable to see his face.

"Hello Will. hello...?" The auburn woman questions looking towards the taller male

"Mike... this is my friend Mike" the smaller boy responds pointing towards his long-haired friend. Joyce furrows her brows, awkwardly smiling at the duo

"I made lasagne" the mother smiled

"Would you like to join us?" The mother questions; a bright grin on her face. The trio walks to the kitchen to the dinner table. Mike sits down as the shorter boy grabs three plates, placing them on the table. Grabbing cutlery with his other hand
