-lucas denies to himself that it has any effect on him -he knows it does -so he pretends it annoys him -so dustin does it more -he starts walking up behind him to rest his head on lucas's shoulder and purr in his ear -dustin likes to pretend he does it just to annoy lucas -really he knows he just likes being close to him -and sure maybe making lucas react so much is kinda nice to -the four boys are hanging out in the wheeler basement as usual -dustin and lucas are bickering about something as they often are -mike and will just sit there on the sofa having a quiet conversation while  sending occasional glances at their friends -they both lift their head at the words "Bite me!" from lucas -dustin is up in his face growling at him -lucas just gulps and stops -they're standing inches apart starring at each other breathing just a bit too heavily -there's the vague sound of mike muttering something to will then silence -and then there's a kiss -just each others lips pressing hard against their own as lucas grips his hands into dustin's shirt -"guess you couldn't resist these pearls huh lucas?" dustin remarks when they've pulled away -then he does that fucking purring thing again -lucas shuts him up with a quick hard kiss -because hey that's what he's wanted to do every time dustin's made that noise the past month or so, why not -they look back to mike and will who are just sat there content as ever cuddled up to each other as mike asks the question "is this a frequent thing for you two we didn't know about or?" -"i wish" dustin says a little louder than intended -"it could be" lucas mutters back -"and anyway what about you two all cuddled up like that huh?" lucas says louder -will blushs and hides his face in mike's jumper -"he's cute" mike says lifting up will's head to give him a kiss on the cheek -will replys with a small "you two"
