  Summary

  "Well, um. He's pretty." Will says, giving Mike a quick glance before turning back to Lucas. "Really pretty."

  That's.. vague. Mike doesn't know what to do with that information.

  "Will. Come on!" Dustin protests. "We need more than that. Like a hair or eye color. Do we even know him?"

  "Okay, fine," Will huffs, trying to hide the smirk growing on his face, but failing miserably. "He has dark curly hair and dark brown eyes." He pauses, then adds: "You guys might know him."

  OR: Mike Wheeler isn't completely sure who Will's mystery crush is. However, he does have a working theory about who it might be.
