Summary
It was Lucas who broke it, looking over at Mike "Hey. The floor's open, by the way. If you wanted."
Mike blinked. "What?"
"Oh yeah! We always end up talking about this stuff without you." Dustin said, rolling onto his side. "Lucas talked about Max. I've been monologuing about Stacy for over a month, which in retrospect was a waste of everyone's time-"
"Tremendous waste." Mike agreed. "Historic, really."
"-and you've got something going on now." He shrugged. "It's your turn."
Mike looked at Lucas, who raised his eyebrows in a quiet yeah, what he said.
He looked back at Dustin. "You want me…to talk to you about having sex with Will?"
In which Dustin is a shit head and Mike ends up oversharing about his sex life.

Summary
As the party were all leaving the basement to go upstairs for dinner, Mike stopped Will for a moment. A brief interruption to ask him to stay a little longer so they could talk after having lasagna? He wanted to know... Something.
Even though they'd spent time together after everything ended, Mike felt there was something unresolved between them, and he always wanted to fix it, but he was never able to do so until he saw that they were both going to grow up and drift apart at some point. He couldn't just let him go like that. Will nodded, even when he looked a little hestitan to do so.

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)
