   Summary

   Mike cut him off before he could complete the thought, "You have a problem. I have a problem."

   "Okay?" Will waited for him to get to the point, patience growing dangerously thin.

   Mike clinks his knife against his plate a few times and lets the question hang in the air for a moment.

   "I might have a solution."

   Will's patience dissipates completely, "Oh my god, Mike. Land. The. Plane."

   Mike's face settled into something serious.

   "We should fake date."

   Or:
   When art student Will Byers meets frat boy Mike Wheeler they hatch a plan to make their crushes jealous. What could possibly go wrong?
