"Do you guys like will?" richie asked as the group hung around the quarry. him and bev were smoking, stan was reading, bill was playing with stan's hair, ben was fixing his project, and eddie was scrolling on his phone.

"he's nice," stan commented not looking up from his book

"y-yeah."

"what do ya think eds?"

"he seems sweet," he answered while flipping off richie

"he seems cool," bev shrugged and ben nodded in agreement

"you think mike will like him?"

"probably," bev budded out her cig tossing it away.

"he's surprisingly nice considering who he hangs out with." stan pointed out

"my brother? yeah," richie muttered picking at a scab. the group fell into silence until ben started getting up.

"i have to go y'all." they all voiced their disappointment until ben left.

"anyone wanna come over to mine? i can not be alone with my brother."

"i can." stan finally shut his book

"i-i can asw-well!" he quickly followed stan

"can't, i have to help my aunt," bev frowned

"i can but only for an hour,my mom expects me home at 4:30 exactly." richie nodded and they began walking back into town. once they needed to go their separate ways from beverly they all said their goodbyes.

"why would you want to hangout with my brother?" mike asked almost disgusted

"they're actually really nice," will shrugged and he sunk further into his beanbag

"will. the only reason we aren't the laughing stock of school is because we aren't them!" mike explained and everyone else nodded

"but that's not fair!"

"so? they're just a bunch of losers." will went silent and scoffed. mike rolled his eyes and started the movie and sat on the opposite side of the room from will. as the movie continued both mike and will stole glances at each other but neither wanted to admit they were wrong. when will heard richie's loud laughter from the kitchen he excused himself to the bathroom.

"why are you going upstairs?"

"incase someone else needs to use the bathroom they have the one down here," will shrugged. mike gave him a look but decided not to question it further. will went into the kitchen to find richie, stan, bill, and eddie joking around. he approached slowly.

"byers? what are you doing here?" richie smirked and will felt his stomach flutter

"mike is having a sleepover with the party downstairs." will shrugged. richie groaned

"of course, let me guess. he's using the whole basement?" will nodded

"can we just hangout in your room?" eddie asked

"yeah, i guess so." the group began up the stairs, "you coming byers?" richie called and will jumped a bit

"me?"

"well, do you really wanna be down there all night?" he asked grinning and will shot one back shaking his head.

the movie was coming to an end and will still wasn't back.

"did will ever come back from the bathroom?" mike spoke up

"i don't think so," lucas answered looking over at will's spot

"i'll go look," mike got up

"want me to pause it?" jane asked smiling sweetly at him

"uh, no it's okay," he smiled back and began up the stairs. he checked the kitchin, living room, bathroom and his room. the last place was richie's room but there was no way-

"byers! you are killing me!" richie laughed out. mike swung open the door to see will and richie sitting on rich's bed, stan and bill on the floor and eddie in richie's desk chair.

"will?!"

"have you ever heard of knocking micheal?"

"shut up richie," he rolled his eyes, "will you missed the whole movie!"

"i'm sorry, it's just richie invited me up," will frowned. he felt honestly very guilty

"whatever." mike rolled his eyes slamming the door and returned to the basement.
