Chapter 2: Mike
(The next day at exactly 5:44 P.M)
It was time for Mike Hanlon the Cupid to find out where Eddie Kaspbrak lived.
He didn't have to look that hard to find it, as Ben had given him the address. There was only one odd thing about Edward Kaspbrak; neither Ben nor the folder had any information on his mother, Sonia.

Ben shrugged when Mike had asked him about it.
Mike found it weird but didn't think much of it.

"I'm going out," He called to his friends as he shut the door behind him with a slam. Then he was off to Eddie's house to see if Richie had gotten there.

He had

But when Mike got there saw Richie going straight to the window that was on the second floor. Richie climbed up and upon reaching the window he knocked on it five times. It slid open to show a very unimpressed looking Eddie.

"I know, I'm coming." Eddie said.

"That's not what your mom said last night," Richie said solemnly.
Eddie scowled, then proceeded to give Richie the middle finger. Richie smirked. "C'mon, Eds," he said playfully.

"Don't call me that," Eddie snapped.

Only when they were both safe on the ground with two bags in tow, did Mike head back to Bill's making sure he got to the house before them.
When Mike got back to Ben's he noticed that Bev wasn't in the living space. So he walked into the kitchen, and what Mike did not expect was for Ben and Bev to be kissing.

"Should I leave or?....." Mike started to ask but was interrupted by a madly blushing Ben.

"NO!" Ben screamed and Bev laughed at Ben's face.

"Okay, okay. Wait why is there so much booze?"Mike asked just noticing all of the alcohol.

"Reasons," Bev smirked.

"Okay I get it." Mike ended the chat. Then the doorbell rang and Ben rushed to the door.
"Hey Haystacks, I brought Eds"
"Don't call me that" Eddie shouted slapping Richie's arm.
"Ouch," he mumbled
"Come in guys, I have some people I want you to meet," Ben said, and was immediately shoved aside by Bev.

"HEY GUYS I'M BEV!" she shouted and Mike rolled his eyes before he introduced himself.
"I'm Mike- Bev's best friend and a close friend of Ben."
"Oh and did I mention that I'm Ben's GiRLFriEnD?" Bev asked singing the word 'girlfriend'.

Richie grinned at Ben, whose face turned beet red.
"This true, Haystacks?" he asked Ben.
Ben blushed harder and nodded.

"Oh snap! Haystack got a lover, just like I got Ed's mom!" he crowed.
Eddie turned around to Richie and raised his hand suddenly.
Richie flinched, and Eddie lowered it.
Richie looked up at Bev and Mike and said sheepishly, "just gotta remember who's the boss around here." Mike smiled to himself. It seemed like it would be another seamless mission.

"Come on in," Ben said and walked to the living room. Bev followed, and Richie and Eddie walked side by side, with Mike bringing up the rear.
They sat around the coffee table, and Bev said,

"anyone want some booze?"
Richie shrugged, "sure."
Ben shook his head.
Bev rolled her eyes, "c'mon Benny-Benny-Big-Ben-Boy. Just a little sip?"
"No, I'm good," he said.
"All right," she said, and dug out the bottle of tequila from the night before from her overnight bag. She took a swig, wiped her mouth, then passed it to Mike. Mike hesitated, then took a tiny sip. The alcohol was bitter, and stung his throat as he swallowed. He gave it to Richie. Richie grinned, and chugged the bitter liquid. Bev looked annoyed, as if the fact that all her booze was getting chugged was an unpleasant one.

Richie burped, and shoved it into Eddie's into arms.
Eddie looked at the bottle, disgusted.
"Do you know the diseases you can get from this?!? Liver disease and some CANCER!!" Eddie listed a few more off before finally stopping.

Richie smirked, took the bottle out of Eddie's arms and said, "well if you say so Eddie spaghetti."
Eddie scowled at him."Don't fucking call me that!"
Just then, the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it." Mike said and got up
"Thanks, Mike" Ben mumbled, while Richie and Eddie were busy having a fight. (It mostly sounded like joking)

Mike opened the door to two people. Stan and Bill.
"Hi, I'm Mike a friend of Ben's''
''W-w-wu-well any friend of-f his is a f-fuh-friend of o-ours'' Bill smiled warmly while Stan attempted to not look awkward and out of place.

Bill and Stan came inside and dropped their bags off in the kitchen. None of the booze was in there anymore, as while Mike had been answering the door, Bev had taken it all into the living room for 'games'
"That's a lot of alcohol'' Stan commented, waving to Bev.
Bill nodded, "W-wuh-what are y-you planning on d-do-doing wuh-with that?"
Bev smiled evilly, "you'll see."

A few minutes later the Losers Club were sitting on the living room floor, about to play Spin-The-Bottle.
Eddie looked nervous as Bev explained the rules. "So, the rules are: kissing is necessary, and the person who spins the bottle has to take a swig, and, most importantly," Bev said, "the person spins the bottle can do anything they want to the person to whom the bottle points to."

Bill glanced to Stan, who looked ruthless.
In a spark of genius, Mike stood up and shouted "I'm going to make some special drinks for people."
"Gotcha Mikey," Bev said, winking. Mike stood up, and started towards the kitchen.

Mike grabbed a bottle of vodka from Bev's stash and walked to the kitchen. As he fished a packet from his pocket, he heard a roar of laughter coming from the living room. Smiling to himself, Mike poured the vodka into several cups, and added some orange juice to them. Then in two cups, he sprinkled the powder and he stirred it until the powder dissolved. Mike placed all the cups onto a tray, then carried it into the living room.

What he saw shocked him. The bottle was pointing to bill, who was struggling to get Stan off him, who was kissing the crap out of the other boy.
Richie was howling in laughter, Eddie was frozen in shock, Ben was looking away, his face red, probably remembering his earlier kiss with Bev, and Bev had an amused expression on her face.

Mike handed out the drinks, making sure that the spiked drinks made it to Richie and Eddie.
Although, he later thought as he lay in his sleeping bag that night, I probably didn't need to.
