"I'm gonna make sure the little bastard left the mall." Jim Hopper pulled out his wallet and handed some money to Jane, "Here sweetheart, go get some food. I'll meet you at the food court later." At that he got up and headed out the Scoops Ahoy.

"So, are you okay with Mike and I seeing each other?" Will then took the last few bites of his melted ice cream.

Jane took a few bites of her sherbet, "Seeing each other? Am I not allowed to see the both of you?" Jane asked confused.

Mike chuckled, "Seeing each other means dating, Jane. Will and I like each other."

"You two are friends. You should like each other."

Will resisted the urge to slap himself in the face, "We like each other more than a friends. Like we want to kiss each other and hold hands."

"Why aren't you two holding hands right now?"

Will looked down into the ship shaped bowl and stirred the little bit of melted ice cream at the bottom, "Umm...It's because some people don't like to see two guys holding hands or liking each other more than friends. Like that guy that was yelling at us earlier."

"Why is that? I don't mind if my friends hold hands." Jane asked.

"Because some people think it's a sin or it's disgusting. They don't like something that is different than normal. I dunno why." Mike said.

Jane smiled, "I'm not normal either, but you guys are still my friends. We'll always be friends."

Mike's stomach growled loudly and they laughed.

Will chuckled, "Let's go get some food."

Will took a bite of his cheese on a stick that he ordered from Hot Dog on a Stick. He closed his eyes as he savored the melted cheesy goodness with the sweet deep fried batter that covered it.

Mike sat across the white booth table eating a corn dog with fries on the side. He took a bite of his corn dog and also stuffed his mouth with some fries. His cheeks were puffed out like a cute chipmunk.

He must have felt him staring because he turned to Will, "What?" He said while his cheeks were stuffed.

Will smirked, "Oh, nothing." Will leaned over to poke his stuffed cheek and some pieces of food fell out.

Will made a sound between a snort and a chuckle. Jane beside him looked disgusted and threw a balled up napkin at Will's head. It bounced harmlessly off his head to the table.

Mike quickly swallowed the food that was stored in his cheeks, "No hitting my boyfriend." He picked up a fry and threw it at Jane. The fry stopped just before it would've hit between her eyes.

She gave a sly smile before quickly launching it back at Mike's forehead.
It smacked his forehead leaving a small splat of salty grease and landed on his red plastic tray.

"Hey, no powers." Mike wiped his head with a napkin. "I hope I don't get a pimple now."

He glanced around hoping no one saw Jane using her powers. He assumed even if anyone saw, no one would believe them. They would probably think they read too many comic books or watch a lot of anime.

"Hey Mikey, could I try some of your corn dog?" Will asked.

"Sure." Mike pointed stuck out his corn dog for Will to try. Will leaned forward and put it in his mouth. He took a small bite and noticed Mike squirming in his seat, face flushed.

Will's face flushed hot and he jerked back in his seat. He rubbed his face, "It's good."

"Your face is red, Will. Are you getting sick?" Jane put her hand on his forehead.

"Uh..no. I'm fine." He cleared his throat.

Jane took a drink of her lemonade from her colorful stripped cup, "Mike's face is red, too. You guys shouldn't kiss each other if you're sick." She said a little too loudly.

A few nosy teenage girls had turned their heads to look over at their table. Mike nervously laughed and looked down at his greasy trash on the red plastic mall tray. Will groaned, crossed his arms on the table and hid his face in them.

Will and Mike decided to head back to Mike's place and plan a movie night or something. Mike figured it would be best to invite them over and announce their new relationship to them. He didn't want to feel like he was hiding something from the party. He hadn't tried to hide the fact the he was into guys from them. He just thought that it wasn't really necessary until now that he was dating Will.

Ever since he realized what he felt for Will was beyond friendship, he assumed that he didn't have a chance. He would be content with just longer than normal touches or longing stares when he wasn't looking. Now that they were together, he would indulge whenever they touched, stare without freaking him out and best of all kiss that adorable smile of his.

"I have a feeling that this summer is gonna be pretty awesome." Mike said with his hands threaded behind his shaggy head.

"Hard to believe so much has happened in such a short time. I didn't exactly have coming out planned for the summer, but I guess it worked out so far." Will gave him that cute little smile that lit up his face.

"Yeah, my family and your mom supports our relationship. Steve gave us free ice cream and Robin almost got her face smashed defending us."

"Good thing Jane was there to stop that asshole from hitting her. I didn't expect to see Jane or Dustin be at the mall. I was a little worried what our friends would think of us, but you were right. We're all of bunch of misfits and what makes us different brings us together. Dustin didn't treat us any differently and I guess Jane didn't mind at all. I don't think that scientist dude from the lab ever read her the bible or mentioned gay people to her."

"Her dad probably didn't teach her about gay people in general either. Speaking of him, I had no idea Jim Hopper knew about your dad. Especially that he used to call you names."

"I didn't know my mom told him. That's kinda embarrassing he knew about that. But I know she must of had good intentions to tell him." Will kicked some rocks off the sidewalk and into the street.

"Well, let's make it more embarrassing by telling the rest of the party."

Will held his hands over each other on his chest, "Tell them all about the story of our undying love for each other."

Mike looked at him with a huge smile, "A story about a small adorable prince that was taken by a hideous monster to his lair."

Will played along, "How the young beautiful valiant knight with the help of his party, went in search for the prince."

Mike choked out, trying not to cry, "The knight realized how much he loved the little prince when he was taken."

Will looked back at him, with tears brimming,"The prince was scared and alone, but he knew the brave knight and the party would find him."

"The knight found the prince with the help of the party and a powerful mage, they had defeated the monster. The prince and the knight fell in love and rode off into the sunset to live happily ever after." They embraced, tears slipped down Mike's cheeks as he squeezed his eyes shut.

"We're fucking dorks." Will said chuckling. They laughed while still holding each other and then pulled away.

"Oh, we should get some snacks for the movie night." Mike remembered as he wiped at his tear stained face.

"I think there's a drug store on the way to your place."

"Lead the way, little prince."
