dustin

my stalker
Oh naturally
dustin
max my request for 6.72 is still pending
el💜
Down to the cent is crazy
el💜
Also yes I noticed. Hard not to
Max
GOOD BC I WAS ABOUT TO SAY WHYD THEY LEAVE TOGETHER
dustin
are you going to venmo me or not?
my stalker
In fairness they’ve always been weirdly close
my stalker
Mike might have been just driving him home
dustin
why are we talking about mike suddenly
el💜
Yes BUT Will didn’t come home last night
my stalker
Seriously?
el💜
#He dropped Will off this morning I’m pretty sure
Max
AHAHA
Max
I KNEW THAT DOOR HAD A LOCK ON IT
dustin
okay, i’m officially lost now
my stalker
Valedictorian over here
dustin
don’t patronize me
dustin
what are you guys talking about
Max
AND EVERYONE WAS TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS LOSING MY MIND
my stalker
MAX I’VE ALWAYS BEEN ON YOUR SIDE IM JUST BEING OBJECTIVE ABOUT LAST NIGHT
dustin
WHY IS EVERYONE SPEAKING IN CODE
dustin
TELL ME THINGS
my stalker
We’re talking about if Will and Mike have something going on
dustin
wdym “something” going on?
dustin

Max

Max
im not sure about dating could be something worse
my stalker
Please don’t put images in my brain
el💜 emphasized “Please don’t put images in my brain”
dustin
that’s literally insane you’re all insane
my stalker
I clocked this with them years ago
Max
personally i clocked it the first time i laid eyes on the motherfucker in 8th grade
dustin
hey will’s not a “motherfucker” 🤨
Max
okay so i was obviously talking about mike
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
they’re friends idk why that is so weird to you guys
dustin
they’ve always been close like that
el💜
What about the lake Dustin

dustin

dustin

dustin

dustin

el💜
They are the ones making it weird
my stalker named the groupchat “sixth wheels”
dustin
ok i dont get it still. can’t two guys just be friends?
dustin
why do we have to speculate?
Max
ok we got the RPF police over here
my stalker
Personally I’m just glad they’re not fighting anymore
Max
also i’m “speculating” because hawkins is so lame there’s like 2 pizza places here and 1 bar where i always run into mr clarke
Max
theres NOTHING to do in this bum ass town and im bored as hell
dustin
what in the everloving hell is RPF
el💜
Email Me Dustin. 𝔀𝓮 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓶𝓾𝓬𝓱 𝓽𝓸 𝓭𝓲𝓼𝓬𝓾𝓼𝓼
my stalker

dustin

dustin

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

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

jonathan byers

my stalker

dustin

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

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
Max

YES a scientist in need of concrete, cold-hard, peer-reviewed evidence
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.

steve harrington

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

#Whatdatmean
Max
that sounds familiar but i can't put my finger on it

IF this is the last night of summer and they still don't tell us anything does Dustin win
Max
no because dustin bet no and he's clearly wrong
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?
