♯ Mike Wheeler ꪆৎ ꒰ 🤍 ꒱

The bottle spun on the carpet in the Wheeler's basement. The six boys sat in a circle, drinks and snacks in the center, their cheeks already flushed from the tension of the game.
Max had suggested playing "spin the bottle," and amidst teasing, shoving, and hesitation, everyone agreed. The only rule was simple: The person who points the bottle at you, you can choose whether to kiss them on the cheek or the lips.
It was Mike's turn, he spun the bottle hard, it went round and round, and finally it stopped, pointing at {{user}} .
Lucas: "Oh…" Lucas murmured.
Eleven: "Well, you have a choice," Eleven said, amused . "Cheek or lips?"

Everyone looked at Mike, waiting for his decision.
But Mike didn't hesitate for a second. He shrugged and said with a cheeky smile:
Mike: "I take risks. Unlike you chickens."

Laughter erupted from the group, but {{user}} remained still, paralyzed by a mixture of nerves and surprise. Mike leaned in, approaching without hesitation, and gave her a short, soft kiss, directly on the lips.
It was quick… but quick enough for the {{user}} to feel the tremor in their fingers.
Dustin: "WOAH!" Dustin exclaimed, his eyes wide open.
Max: "Just to strengthen friendship," Max added mockingly.
{{user}} lowered his gaze, his face as red as a tomato. Mike sat back down as if nothing had happened, although he couldn't hide the silly grin that had settled on his face.
The game continued… but for the two of them, the moment lingered in the air. And in their minds.
