Work Text:
The gang was in the basement looking at the yearbook when Mike noticed something strange.
“You guys, my science project made it into the yearbook,” Dustin announced, pointing to it.
It was a photo of Dustin holding his paper mâche volcano on the football field. For the most part, it was a perfectly normal picture. Only the most keen of eyes would be able to detect-
“Someone’s butt’s in the corner of this picture,” Mike pointed out. “I know that butt!”
Max laughed. “Holy shit, this is great.”
“It’s me,” Will said.
“What?” Everyone asked at once, Mike’s sounding a lot more panicked.
“I mooned Lucas when she took that picture,” Will explained. “I didn’t think they’d put it in.”
El shrugged. “Sorry, big brother. That’s my fault. I didn’t even notice.”
“That’s great,” Dustin smiled.
“Great?” Mike squeaked. “Will’s showing off everything for the world to see!”
Will rolled his eyes. “It’s not nearly everything.”
“It’s the good stuff,” Mike whined. “My favorite stuff!”
Lucas squinted at the photo, before looking back at Mike. “How could you even tell whose butt that is? It’s pixelated.”
“I have a very good eye for Will ass, thank you very much,” he crossed his arms. “I spend about 75% of my time staring at it.”
“It’s not a big deal, Michael,” Will looked at him. “It’s just my butt. It’s not my dick.”
Mike’s eyes widened. “Mooning is just not something you do unless Max is being a bitch. And, if I recall correctly, Max had the flu that day.”
“You don’t moon,” Max corrected. “You have no ass.”
“He has an ass,” Will glared at her. “You just have to pay close attention.”
“Gross,” El gagged. “I don’t want to think about Mike’s ass. Or yours. Please, change the subject!”
Without another word, Mike stormed out of the basement.
“What the fuck was that?” Max wanted to know.
“I’m gonna go talk to him,” Will said, running up the stairs.
He found Mike an hour later at Benny’s eating a large fry. “Babe, what happened?”
“Just the thought of how much sleep I’m gonna lose now that everyone’s seen your ass,” Mike snipped.
“That’s not fair,” Will crossed his arms. “You can’t react like that when you literally hide in the bushes on the cross country route to check me out.”
“It’s a nice ass,” Mike defended. “It’s one of my favorite things to look at, baby.”
“Maybe no one can even tell it’s me,” Will suggested. “I mean, Lucas is right. That part of the picture is pretty pixelated.”
Then, Troy stood up on one of the tables. “GUYS! Will BYERS SHOWED HIS BUTT IN THE YEAR BOOK!”
Mike groaned. “This is a nightmare.”
-
Max lit the joint and took a hit, groaning. “Lucas has been so annoying, lately. He won’t shut up about closing our relationship back up. It’s getting on my nerves.”
El was laughing, hysterically. “He really has issues if he’s mad you made out with me.”
Then, Will took the joint. “You know, I liked showing my ass. I don’t care what Mike says. But, he is right about one thing. It’s a nice ass, and everyone should appreciate it!”
“I totally respect that,” Dustin took the joint. “You have to be careful though, or everyone will start calling you a homewrecker.”
“I heard the middle school is already calling Holly a homewrecker,” Max exhaled. “Apparently she made out with Kylie Hannigan’s boyfriend behind the quad.”
The next thing they all knew, Will had pulled his pants down and was shaking his ass like he had too many pixie sticks at the club.
“FAT BOTTOMED GIRLS, YOU MAKE THE ROCKIN WORLD GO ROUND,” Will sang.
Everyone laughed, beginning to hype him up.
“Mike’s gonna be pissed when he finds out Will gave us a free show!” Max beamed, smacking Will’s ass.
Dustin slapped the other side. “This is great.”
-
Later that night, when the pair were getting ready for bed, Will knew he needed to talk to Mike.
He took a seat on Mike’s bed, and pulled him down next to him. “Michael, we need to talk.”
Mike sighed. “Fine.”
“Why are you so upset about my ass being in the yearbook?” Will asked. “You have to admit it’s funny.”
“Because,” Mike looked at him. “It’s your butt. My butt! I’m the only one who gets to look at it. You’re mine.”
Will straddled Mike’s waist, and kissed him softly. “I’ll always be yours. But, if I want to show my ass, I’m gonna show my ass. But, I swear, you’re the only person who ever gets to touch it.”
That made Mike happy. “Promise?”
Will laughed. “Yes, doofus. I love you.”
“I love you too, bunny.”
-
“Just one more lap,” Lucas panted. “Then, shower and arcade.”
Will nodded, running alongside him. “Sounds good.”
“Fuck,” they heard behind them.
Both boys stopped to see the bushes on the street corner moving.
“Holly, what the fuck?” It was Mike’s voice.
“You’re being a pervert,” she told him, emerging from the bushes.
Mike gasped offendedly. “Says the town whore!”
Holly yanked the binoculars out of Mike's hands. “Really?”
Then, Mike stood up. “That is so mean! Will, baby, she took my binoculars.”
Lucas rolled his eyes. “And, he wonders why he got banned from watching team practices.”
Mike angrily marched up to Lucas. “I’ll have you know that Will’s ass is the only one I’m starin’ at!”
Will patted his shoulder. “Babe, you see it plenty at home. Now, go home. Please.”
Holly grabbed his arm and yanked him away. Mike was very glum.
“I’ll dream about you,” he called back.
