    Summary

    There stood Mike, frozen like a statue. In front of him, Will was bent over, digging through the fruit drawer of the refrigerator. After a moment, Will straightened up with a ripe peach in hand. Ted watched his son continue staring at the exact spot Will’s backside had just occupied, wearing an expression of pure, hopeless longing.

    Ted considered quietly backing out of the room.

    "For God's sake, Michael," He said, instead. "Either take something out or close the door. I'm not paying to refrigerate the whole neighborhood."

    Will turned around, blinking in mild confusion.

    Mike’s face bloomed bright red. The blush was quickly overtaken by a scowl. He slammed the refrigerator door hard enough to rattle every magnet on it. “I was getting something! Sorry it took more than two seconds-"

    “When exactly did your mother start storing the snacks in the back pockets of Will’s jeans?”

    “Oh my God.” Mike spun on his heel and stormed toward the stairs. “You are so-" The rest was lost to thundering footsteps and the inevitable slam of his bedroom door.

    Or, Ted realizes sometimes you need to be locked in the closet before coming out of it.

    Summary

    “It’s an aphrodisiac," Dustin told him, still looking at the pill.

    “Come again?”

    Lucas snorted at the phrase, and Mike glared at him.

    Dustin shoved the packet into his bag before looking over to Will. “It’s a sex pill.”

    “It’s a—” Will stammered, looking around wide eyed before glancing back at Dustin. “A sex pill? What the hell would we do with that?”

    Lucas wiggled his eyebrows. “We have a competition. First one to tap out and jerk off first loses. Which will be all of you first, obviously.”

    After the majority of their teenage years got interrupted by monsters from alternate dimensions, the Party starts to work their way through a bucket list of “normal” teenage things they never got the chance to do.

    Taking sex pills to have a competition with your friends is totally something all teenage boys do, right?

    Mike regrets everything (no he doesn’t.)
