You're not wrong there.

And okay.

Yeah I know...I'm working on it okay? When you have friends like Mike you kind of have to be or you get ignored.

[ There's a bit of a pause before... ]

So, I know a guy who is interested in you.

[ A+ segue. ]

[hairsprayed]

Has that kid always been a pill or did puberty do it to him?

[ Hae a nice long pause in return. ]

I'm flattered but I'm too old for you, buddy. And too old for your friends.

[nocollarbones]

Mike wasn't always that bad...I think it's a mix of puberty, girls, and his dad.

Gross.

Not me you idiot, you're not my type.

Also...not ALL my friends.

[hairsprayed]

Those things all go together man. Puberty makes you weird about girls and fight with your dad.

You're gross! And I better not be your type, I'm older and a guy.

[ Steve's math is slowly, slowly matching. ]

One of the DND nerds?

[nocollarbones]

...

Steve we just talked about how it's totally okay to like guys.

But yes, he is a member of Hellfire. One of the older members. He's of legal age if that helps.

[hairsprayed]

Wait ARE you into guys? What about your girlfriend?

Ok if it's someone that knows me well enough to be interested, so know me at all, then it's a pretty small pool. Like a pool of one.

[nocollarbones]

Suzie and I broke up after Will and Mike got back
Apparently my friends and I are bad influences and tempt her against her faith
Keep up.

And? So if you think you know who it is....who do you think it is?
Aaaaand would you be interested in me setting you up on a date?
Nothing big and nothing super nerdy.
If you guess the right person at least.

[hairsprayed]

Right, sorry man. You're better off not doing a long distance romance anyways.

Eddie's the only one I even know the name of.

[nocollarbones]

Yeah
Besides I ...kind of have a thing for someone else

More on that later

You didn't answer my question.
If Eddie was the one would you be interested?
No pressure.

[hairsprayed]

You're giving me whiplash, Henderson. Who is it? Another camp kid, or someone in Hawkins?

I know I was thinking. Yes that happens, frequently.

Just doesn't seem like I'm someone Munson would be into. Not that I think he'd lie about being gay, but would he?

[nocollarbones]

Hawkins but trust me, I will unload my own distress on you in a minute I need to focus.

No, he wouldn't lie about being gay
And trust me...you can't always pin down what the guy is into but knowing you both the way I do, I think it could definitely work.

You're both cool and supportive
A lot nicer than you let people think you are(okay that's more him than you)
Plus you've been through life altering bullshit together.

[hairsprayed]

You just want two dads, is that it?

[nocollarbones]

First off: you're more like a brother
Second: THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME NOW SHUT UP AND GO ON A DATE WITH EDDIE


please

[hairsprayed]

That's sweet. No more family shit with Munson before it gets creepy.

I didn't say no, I was just doubting him really wanting to go out with me.

[nocollarbones]

I said YOU were like a brother
He's that cool older friend who enables you into stupid shit

How about this.
I'll talk to him
Tell him you're maybe willing for ONE date if he's actually serious(which I think he is)
Drag you two to go bowling or something and then I will just....disappear to the arcade and leave you two to be weird gross older guys totally not on a date.

[hairsprayed]

I guess I'll take it. You're like the goofy little brother I never had anyways.

It's so weird having you as my wingman, do you know that? But yeah, bowling sounds good. There's also that carnival next town over if you two want to go.

[nocollarbones]

Exactly.

Oh....carnival could be better. And away from Hawkins means no one there knows Eddie or will be confused as to why you two are hanging out.

Smart suggestion.

[hairsprayed]

Yeah and a ferris wheel is a little more romantic than a bowling alley. Just a little.

[nocollarbones]

Exactly!

Okay so
I will let him know about the plan.

With that out of the way....
....
It's Will.

1/2

[hairsprayed]

You're definitely being held responsible if this plan goes south.

What will?

2/2

[hairsprayed]

YOU LIKE WILL?

[nocollarbones]

I will take full responsibility if it does.

[ Waiting for it.... ]

....yes....

[hairsprayed]

Since when? For how long? Does he know?

[nocollarbones]

Since we started hanging out after he got back and he decided to start changing up his look and it really cute

And no...he doesn't know....yet.

[ He is NOT about to tell Steve that Eddie was the first to find out.

He'd feel like shit. ]

[hairsprayed]

Do you know if he's gay? Are you gonna tell him you like him?
