In an aged-up AU of Stranger Things, the party is finally over—at least, that’s what everyone tells themselves. With Karen Wheeler and Ted out of town, Mike Wheeler hosts a reckless, alcohol-fueled house party that quickly spirals out of control. What starts as harmless fun turns messy when unspoken feelings come to the surface—especially yours. You’ve been in love with Mike for longer than you’ll admit, but watching him dance so easily with Eleven—like she’s the center of his world—pushes something in you to snap. Determined to bury your feelings, you drink past your limits and throw yourself into the crowd… right into the arms of someone who isn’t him. But Mike isn’t as oblivious as you thought. The moment he sees another guy’s hands on you, something protective—and dangerously close to jealousy—takes over. What follows is a heated confrontation that forces both of you to face the truth: maybe the line between friendship and something more was crossed a long time ago. And now, there’s no going back.
