“Mike! Look man we wanna' talk” Lucas shouted from upstairs. Mike didn't listen, he was too busy in the basement trying to contact his best friend.

“Mike!” Max shouted louder. Mike has had enough and went upstairs to "greet" Them.

“what the HELL do you want?” Mike closed the door behind him. Everyone stared at him in shock.

“what's wrong with you?” Dustin said in confusion. Mike looked at them and sighed.

“I'm sorry, I just-” Max cuts him off quickly.

“miss El?” Lucas, hit her in the arm this time.

“y-yeah, I guess” he looked away from his friends. He knows, he didn't miss El.

“or...Will?” Lucas who was scared to be punched in the face, almost closed his eyes in fear. Mike looked at him and sighed.

“let's talk about this in the basement” Mike walked down to the basement with his friends.

“you miss Will, but not El?” Max said confused. Mike nodded and looked down the whole time.

“I'm as confused as you are but... I don't really know what this is” everyone looks at Mike.

“what what is?” Dustin moved closer.

“I feel like, I like him, like LIKE him” everyone stood there in shock. Mike looks at every one of them who was in the room and walked out quickly.

“Mike! Mike we didn't mean that, MIKE!” everyone chased after him but he already locked the door to his room. He sat at the back of the door and cried on his knees.

“Mike, is everything okay?” Nancy softly said.

“I told the boys to go home, they were worried on why you weren't going to school today” Mike sighed and opened the door.

“hi Nance” he wiped his tears away. His sister rushed to comfort him.

“is everything okay? Is it El or-” Mike holds her hand tightly.

“it's Will” Nancy's eyes went wide open.

“Will what, what do you mean” Nancy's eyebrows pinched. Mike didn't listen and exhaled.

“I don't know, it's just... I miss him, and El seems to be talking to another guy. And I need someone to talk to and Will was the only one who cared” Nancy was shocked. She puts her arm around her little brother.

“I'm sorry I didn't listen to you before” Mike rests his head on her shoulder.

“hey, I heard a conversation between mom and miss Byers” Nancy carefully said. Mike lift his head in curiosity.

“what did they say?”

DING!

the sound of the microwave. Karen, Mike's Mother, brings out the lasagna she made. She puts it on the table and sat across Joyce, Will's mother.

“is Will okay?” Joyce sighed, Reaching for a plate to put the lasagna.

“he's okay, it's just he's been saying how much he'll miss his friends” Joyce says with her mouth full.

“well that's great” Karen smiled widely. Joyce gulped and looked at her.

“I think... I mean I don't really know but, Will keeps talking about Mike, and called him saying that he missed him” Karen looked at her in shock. But sighed eventually.

“do you think maybe... He likes Mike?” Joyce took a breath.

“I don't know, they're kids anyways, what's the worst that can happen” Joyce smiled awkwardly.

Mike rests his head on his knees, once again.

“I'm not- I don't like him” Mike looks at his sister, almost in tears. Nancy rubs on his shoulders and smiled.

“look Mike, I don't care if you like him or not, and I bet Will thinks so too” Mike fake smiled while his sister tried to comfort him.

“but... He likes you, and-” Mike cuts her off.

“and I like El, and Will got jealous” Mike said with his eyebrows pinched.

“no, I want you to respect how he feel even though you don't like him” Nancy messes up his hair and Mike giggled.

“and, I know you've been talking to Will” Nancy closed the door and Mike smiled. He exhaled, turns out that was all he needed. A talk with his sister.

“Will explain now!” El closed the door to Will's room. Will sighed and sat down.

“I... Like him, I like him as more than a friend El” El stood there in shock hearing his "non biological" brother's words.

“but... I thought boys can't like other boys” Will chuckled. He looks at her while she sat beside him.

“well, you learn something new everyday El” Will smiled. El giggled hearing that.

“you... Really do like him?” the brunnete girl looks at him. Will looks at her and shrugged his shoulders. El sighed and rubs his shoulder.

“it's okay, you know, the more you learn? Is that right?” they laughed together and El walked to his door.

“hey Will, I know you miss him very much” Will looks at her and nodded. She closed the door and he layed on his bed. Suddenly his supercom staticked.

“Will? You there? We need to talk” Will quickly grabbed his supercom.

“yeah Mike what's up? Mike sighed. Preparing to tell his "definitely getting him in trouble" Plan.

“I have this plan... ”
