A drawn out electric guitar chord rang through the air, followed by someone leaning into the mic and whispering
"Sometimes i feel like i'm going crazy"Will froze, and made nancy and jonathan stop looking for mike, and ask if he was ok
Mikes voice made the other two fall silent
"Well, if you're crazy, so am I. Let's be crazy together, alright?"
The first voice laughed softly
"Yeah, crazy together."
It had been months since Will Byers had seen his best friend in person. He was currently climbing out of the car and up the walkway to the wheeler house, grinning and rolling on his heels. Jonathan seemed just as excited as Will and he knocked on the door urgently. Nancy, im a robe with her hair still up in curlers, opened the door and hugged jonathan happily. Will peered into the house, searching for Mike. Nancy laughed and shook her head
"He's with Eddie at the Hideout right now.I kept it a surprise that you were coming. Let me get dressed and we can go find him ok?" Will smiled and nodded, messing his hair up a bit. He had finally gotten rid of the bowl cut, and his hair was shaggy and longer than before. Nancy let them in and told them to wait in the living room. After a few minutes she came back downstairs, fully dressed and keys in hand.
"Ready to go?"Will hopped out of the backseat, staring at the door to the hideout
"Nancy..? Why is Mike in a bar?" Nancy laughed and opened the door for him
"He watches Eddie's band. He worships Eddie." Will nodded and glanced at the stage, squinting at the silhouette in front. Something about his frame was... familiar. Nancy interrupted his train of thought, urging them to look for Mike.Will shook his head and focused on the crowd, looking around corners and behind people for Mike. then the entire crowd went silent and looked towards the stage, where lights had come on. Will groaned to himself. Now he was going to have to tune out the stage to-

Mikes voice made the other two fall silent
"Well, if you're crazy, so am I. Let's be crazy together, alright?"
The first voice laughed softly
"Yeah, crazy together."The rest of the lights came on, revealing Mike with Eddie's band, holding an electric guitar and standing in front of a microphone. The band started playing the intro to their first song. Will couldn't hold his jaw up.
"M-mike!? M-Me and Mike- that- he said that to me! Crazy together! That was quoting out conversation directly!" Nancy smiled and patted Wills shoulder
"Then maybe this song is about you?" Will swallowed and turned to the stage, as Mike started singing."I'm color coding my moods
You're yellow, I'm natural blue
Let's get together and be green like my insides
At least I'll match your eyes
Jealous and hypnotized
Let's match our faces and be equally in loveWills eyes widened and he shook his head quickly
"Nope, not about me. He's not over El!"Mike played into the chorus, leaning closer the the mic
"Hey, tell me what you want me to say
You know I'm stupid for you
Hey, can you come and come out and play
You know I'm stupid for you"Nancy smiled and shoved WIll gently
"Come out and play? Will, that's a reference to the two of you being childhood best friends and you know it." Will swallowed loudly and shook his head, eyes glued to the stage.Let's trash our whole afternoon
Reciting recycled news
Until we meld and go back to your hotel room
I'll be your new favorite tune
I'll be your black cloud by june
But only when you miss the rain like I miss youWill shook his head quickly, shushing Johnathan, who was about to say something, because mike leaned into the mic, and the music had slowed down
Just double dare me
And I promise now that I'll stay...
It's not like i'm married, but I still got carried away...Will covered his face out of embarrassment as the band jumped into round 2 of the chorus. He took a few seconds before looking up
"Lets get closer to the stage."Right as will pushed to the front of the crowd, mikes expression changed, getting much more intense, and more passionate.
You're playin' ring round my head
I'll wear you like a halo
You're a symphony, I'm just a sour note
I'll take what I can get
The best is hard to grip when everybody wants you
And everybody wants youMike froze as he made eye contact with Will, glancing at Eddie as he repeated the last verse, not breaking eye contact with Will. The song came to a close and mike hopped down from the stage, waving at will awkwardly. Will laughed and waved back, gently taking Mikes hand and leading him away from the crowd.
"Im glad you finally realized who was right for you mike."
"...Me too Will. Me too"
