Summary:

Max
15 bucks says we know by the end of june

my stalker
Whoa someone’s confident

dustin
you guys are not seriously betting on this

dustin
how bored are you????

el
Very

dustin
fine 10 bucks says nothing’s going on between them and you’re all insane 

my stalker
Are we bad people for betting on this 

dustin
probably 

Or: The party (and some special guests) place bets on whether or not Will and Mike are together.

Notes:

hi i just made more bullshit. please don't take this seriously at all, this is just for fun, blah blah blah. oops all texts! I hacked into max mayfield's phone. All characters are 18, modern au but almost everything else stayed the same (sort of like the reddit fic).

also woahhh elmax byler and jancy!!! what're you guys doing here!

anyway other fics will update soon. just needed to boost my own mood with something fun

(this kind of went off the rails, and it is IMMENSELY fanon, but it was also immensely fun to write)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

my stalker
Mike might have been just driving him home 

dustin

dustin
WHY IS EVERYONE SPEAKING IN CODE

Max

dustin
i frankly don’t get what there is to “clock”

my stalker
Think about it man 

my stalker
Literally rethink any interaction you’ve ever had with them

my stalker
Remember when we were camping and Will’s tent didn’t have the right poles to set it up so I said he could just sleep with me and the big M nearly jumped me

el💜
THE BIG M

Max
me when i sit next to will at the movies and have 0.2 seconds before the big m genuinely materializes out of thin air to blow my shit smooth off

my stalker
Me when I say Will’s like a wizard instead of a sorcerer and the big M tells me the exact time and date of my death

Max
HAHA

dustin

dustin
they’ve always been close like that

el💜

Max

same rules apply from all the other bets. no going through phones or like… private stuff. and you can hint but not force it out/explicitly ask. find my friends and party hangouts are fair play

Max
IF they specifically tell us something’s up by june, i win. july, el wins. august, lucas wins. if summer ends and they still don't say anything? dustin wins

dustin

Boston rent is expensive. It's a hustle Jonathan.

robin buckley
i’ll greatly enjoy pocketing that sweet sweet wheeler money when i'm right nancy

steve harrington
Rob you’re benched. Step aside and let Steve Harrington work this 😎

dustin
dude i thought we banned you from talking in the third person

robin buckley emphasized “dude i thought we banned you from talking in the third person”

steve harrington
Guys I’m serious get me a case of Coors, a ham sandwich, and a history of everything Mike has ever checked out at Family Video and I’ll have this whole thing wrapped up in like 10 minutes flat

jonathan byers
go harass mike all you want but please maintain a ten mile radius from will 

nancy wheeler
I would say fuck off but I’m starting to get morbidly curious. 

dustin
steve DOES have frighteningly accurate gaydar 

robin buckley
gaydar so ‘accurate’ that he had a crush on ME ??? 

steve harrington
OH COME ON ROBIN THAT’S LOW

robin buckley
you were really working that scoops ahoy counter with lestron3000 and envisioned a future there

dustin
LKNSLFNFFFFUCKKKK

nancy wheeler

Max
STOP

steve harrington
IT WAS NOT THAT SERIOUS don’t flatter yourself 

steve harrington
And dude my gaydar is still like way better than yours

robin buckley
screw you i have EXCELLENT gaydar

steve harrington
Then I'm sure you weren’t surprised at all by Tammy Thompson hard launching with Linda Sullivan then since your gaydar is so good

robin buckley
WHATEVER MAN

el💜
Who is Tammy Thompson?

Max
the really bad singer???

my stalker
Yeah that girl Will was talking about when he came out

steve harrington
How I caught that reference at the Squawk

dustin
she has a girlfriend now? 

robin buckley
yes and this has already crossed my desk MULTIPLE times don’t even worry

robin buckley
here damn

robin buckley

robin buckley

steve harrington
See? I love you but you have 0 gaydar

steve harrington
Tammy Thompson still can’t sing for shit though

dustin

Max
ok like this for no

Max

jonathan byers
can i be indifferent 

nancy wheeler, steve harrington, my stalker, el💜 and Max all reacted 👍 to “like this for yes”

my stalker
These wike antis… 

dustin

Max
venmo me your wagers i’ll hold the pot @zoomer-mayfield 

dustin
this is SO dumb if they were dating or whatever they’d literally tell us 

el💜
Would they though? Will had the flu for like 4 days and didn’t tell anyone in our family like he barely tells anybody anything 

el💜
And Mike doesn’t tell people stuff just like in general 

robin buckley
will would’ve told me

dustin
see?? scoreboard: reasonable people 1, “wike” zero

dustin
you guys are seeing stuff that just isn’t there 

my stalker

jonathan byers left the groupchat.

el💜
HELP

my stalker
Ah shit my bad Jon

my stalker
If it makes you feel any better man I don’t wanna witness it either 

nancy wheeler
I mean… if they’re going out, that would explain why Mike is always broke. 

robin buckley
he has a job doesn’t he?

Max
indeed that is my coworker

robin buckley
okayyyy and scoops pay is literally dismal 

dustin
HAH reasonable people: 2, wike: 0

nancy wheeler
Yeah, but the $396 charge on Ted’s amex at Art Mart last week would make a lot more sense. 

my stalker
DAMNNN

steve harrington
Mike I was unfamiliar with your game 

dustin
oh ok yet mike denied my venmo request from TWO WEEKS AGO im about to charge him interest 

Max
OOOHH TAKE THAT POINT OFF THE SCOREBOARD

my stalker
Well your research question was totally leading man 

my stalker
Peer review this: Is it suspicious if two friends regularly sneak off from the rest of the friend group and then sneak off again once everyone else is passed out so they can sleep by themselves upstairs? Oh and according to Dustin they ALWAYS do this?

steve harrington
Yeah no that’s suspicious 

nancy wheeler
Tempted to say suspicious but Mike has been clingy that way since he was a kid. I don’t think that’s anything. 

dustin

Ran into Mike at Melvalds just now

robin buckley
thank you for sharing with the class

steve harrington
Slid bro a couple pointers, was nbd 😎

Max
oh so wike’s about to be bones gotcha

nancy wheeler
Please don’t give him any “advice.”

robin buckley
oh my god tell me you didn’t

steve harrington
Robin why do only you get to do the mentor thing let me have this

my stalker
Wtf did you say

steve harrington
Well ok so I ran into him at the florist 

nancy wheeler
Oh Mike. 

steve harrington
I said “hey nice move that's a classic” and he looked at me confused af which was like bullshit lowkey because we were both there for the whole apocalypse thing like I thought we went way back but anyway

steve harrington
He said “uh I guess” and I said "are you apologizing for something" and he said "I really really hope not" and so I said “now listen you want to be sure to get the ones with the plastic shit in it like the little signs” and Mike said “are you sure” and I said “yes bro positive” 

my stalker
Literally no one likes the flowers with the plastic shit in it Steve

nancy wheeler
No, they do not. 

steve harrington
And THEN I told him if he wanted to go big he could do one of those potted plants you know the ones with the foil around the bottom those things 

Max
WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE FLOWERS

robin buckley
…you told him to buy will a plant? why???

steve harrington
It’s baller

steve harrington
Those plants are randomly like 40 bucks

steve harrington
And it says so much more than sunflowers

my stalker
Oh my god dude why’d you have him put the sunflowers back

el💜
Will is going to kill that plant immediately he couldn’t even keep a succulent for more than a week

steve harrington
Anyway I was super lowkey about the whole thing and slyly mentioned that he should drop the hat at work because it’ll fuck up your hair and he bought into that I think

robin buckley
right because famously your track record at scoops was something to behold

dustin
steve WHY do you even care if they get together or not

Max
he’s genuinely just here for love of the game

my stalker
Will coming back from montauk to a fucking potted plant 

dustin
the plant in question might not even be for will if im gonna be an educated skeptic here

my stalker
Dude youre so stubborn the evidence is staring you right in the face

steve harrington
Why else would you be buying someone such a nice plant 🤔🤔🤔

Max
HE DIDNT EVEN WANT TO BUY THE PLANT

Max
THE SUNFLOWERS WOULDVE BEEN GOOD

steve harrington

IF this is the last night of summer and they still don't tell us anything does Dustin win

dustin
idk... sounds like a loophole to me 

dustin
commissioner? 

my stalker
Okay TECHNICALLY, the bet Max laid out was that if they didn't say anything by the end of summer, Dustin would win the timeline bet specifically, but he would lose the overall yes or no bet. Right?
