WILDEST DREAMS |MILEVEN|

PROLOUGE

PROLOGUE
LOVE ON THE BRAIN

Michaels sister, nancy, was getting married soon. one month to be exact. everyone was super excited, michael of course was. she was getting married to the man of her dreams, and michael himself also liked him.

his name was jonathan, jonathan byers. he treated his sister like she was royalty. he did everything for her. if she asked for something he'd do it instantly. he knew that they were made for each other.

there was one problem though.

mike was the only one without a date for their wedding. sure, he didn't care. he felt somewhat bad considering everyone else had some sort of date there.

he decided just to lay down in his bed and cover himself in his blue colored sheets, and try not to think about any of this.

that was until he felt his phone vibrating.

he shot up and reached for his phone.

as soon as he grabbed the blue device he saw who was calling.

nancy

he debated on whether or not to pick up. but before he could decided he accidentally pressed the green 'accept' button.

"mike!" his sister shouted from the other side. he didn't even have his speaker on but yet he could still feel his ear ring.

"hey, nance," he said rubbing his right eye.

"so has mom told you..?" she said lower than normal.

"what's wrong? you're too quiet.." he joked.

"ha ha so funny, but seriously, has mom told you?"

"told me what..?"

"i told her to tell you!"

"well maybe if you just tell me our problems will be solved!" he cried.

"tomorrow we're having dinner at moms." she sighed

"oh."

"oh?"

"ya, oh" his eyed widened in realization. his mother would always question him on when he was gonna have a girlfriend, or when he was gonna get married. things like that.

"you scared?" he could hear nancy's fake pout through the phone.

"ya."

"can i tell ya something that should cheer ya up?" nancy said in a baby voice.

"what..."

"the byers are gonna be there too." she said sarcastically.

"WHAT!?" he sprung up out of bed and began to pace around the room.

"i know! how exciting!" she said cheerfully.

"YOU SAID THIS WAS GONNA CHEER ME UP!?"

"i can't see you right now but i know you're pacing around the room, hands in your hair. like the little princess you are." mike could just hear her smile through the screen.

"nancy!" he whined.

"oh please! you were always close with will and little elly!

"ya but-"

"no buts! i expect you to be there!"

he sighed, "fine." he said smugly.

"i don't like that tone, but if that's what will get you to go then fine!" she hung up.

mike sighed. this would be embarrassing, he has no date.

sure it wasn't that big of a deal, but it would be awkward with everyone else having dates and him being the only one without one!? no thanks!

he decided to call one of his lifelong bestfriends, lucas.

the phone rung as he walked in circles around the room, he waited and waited until he heard a voice.

'hey man, why you calling me this early?" the boy on the screen asked.

"hey, lucas, uhm. quick question." mike said, sighing as he ran his hand through his greasy curly hair. he was really due to wash his hair.

"ya?" lucas asked.

"you're invited to nancy's wedding, right?"

"duh, i've known her for so long." he said with a hint of annoyance on his voice.

"sorry, but yknow max, your date..." mike asked with nervousness in his voice.

"yes... don't tell me you got with her or anything, mike. yknow i've liked her since like forever!" lucas said panicked.

"NO! i was wondering if she had a friend that i could take to nancy's wedding..."

"oh." he said emphasizing the 'h'

"makes sense, let me ask her," before lucas could ask mike heard a faint "NO!" in the background.

"ya bro, she said no." lucas sighed

"ya, so i heard," mike sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

"thanks anyways."

"ya, no problem." mike hung up the phone and plopped down onto his sofa.

then, he came up with an idea.

why doesn't he just get a dating app? but, it's too risky. he isn't that desperate for a date.

he decided to go with his last option.

pretend you have one until you get one.
