Summary
Jonathan would never hear the end of it if Will found out what he’s doing, so he needs to be subtle. Just enough to get Mike to treat him better. Just enough to redirect things.
He settles on a stern, “Mike, I think we need to have a talk.”

Summary
His stomach twists. Dustin is still talking to Stacey and looking content enough in their conversation, one that Mike doubts he'd be welcome to join. When he peers into the living room, he sees Max and Lucas and Will, all spinning each other around to the tune of whatever shitty song is playing and laughing loudly. Will is grinning, something wide and warm and beautifully happy, a grin that Mike hasn't seen directed his way in what feels like forever.
He looks back at Dustin, hands waving and eyes bright as he talks, Stacey smiling at him. At Max, gleeful. At Lucas, singing along to the music. At Will, head thrown back with a cackle.
It's a gut-wrenching feeling, realizing how unnecessary you've become to the people you love.
or: they go to stacey's party (and maybe kiss a little)

His mom has become convinced he’s concussed. But it’s so much worse than that, it’s terminal, and Mike Wheeler is the counterpoison.
Will is punched in the face. He takes it well. Mike doesn't.

Summary
“First of all, I don’t think - I know.” Mike holds up his hands, this feels important. “And second of all, of course not, Will. My point is you can ask anyone, and I am sure they’ll agree.”
“Trust me they wouldn’t.” He says, like it’s final. A self-deprecating laugh escapes his lips at the end of his words, almost forced out of his lungs, like this is beyond ridiculous. Mike suddenly becomes aware of a new problem, something he couldn’t even imagine happening.
“Will,” he says, low, gravely concerned. It makes Will turn his gaze to meet his eyes, “Do you own a mirror?”
It's not about the stupid prom, or not having a date. It's about loving Will since they were fourteen years old.
