While there is pizza, there's more to the surprise. When Will manages to make his way up the inside is lit up with fairy lights and there are decorations that are a bit more reminiscent of Snow Ball, but they're there. The main area is cleared enough to make room for a dance floor sort of area and on the table is a pitcher of punch, pizza, and chips. All of that and in the center Dustin is standing with a big grin.

Hair styled but with not as much product as he had in the past, he knows that Will likes his hair when it's looser and not as full of gunk. He's also dressed in a suit fit for Prom, the very same Prom that they both agreed not to go to since they couldn't go together.

"I know Prom is supposed to be a big thing for people our age and we can't really go together because of idiots but..." He trailed off looking around at the decorations he had set up before smiling at Will again. "I thought we deserved to have out own too."

"Yup, also El left one of your suits here if you wanna change. I wanted it to be a surprise." Dustin grinned, hands coming to rest around Will's waist.

"Max helped pick out the music that she says it the right sort of stuff to play at a prom, and don't worry they were the only two who knew about my plans. I was not about to tell Mike or Lucas."

There's a bashful sort of laugh and smile as Dustin shrugged. Sure he'd been forced to be a little sneaky about things but he wanted it to be a real surprise.

"Of course, I wanted it to be just us." He nodded as he continued. Sure they were their friends but he knew it was weird for some of them, namely the two guys in question, knowing that Dustin and Will were more than just friends. Sure El and Max had no problem with it and had been all too happy to help, but that wasn't always the case for the others.

It's true that Dustin had never seen the other get changed into his suit, and it's definitely something he doesn't mind seeing. He had put his own suit on sure, but his wasn't tailored like Will's was. Not to mention he didn't have the vest, not nearly as fancy.

"I mean I wouldn't say no, pretty sure our moms would have demanded it if they knew. I might have forgot to mention that I was gonna do something like this to either of them...my mom thinks we're just hanging out and eating pizza up here. Lamenting that we couldn't go to prom because of bigots." Shrugging as he turned the radio on, playing a cassette that Max had given him but keeping it down for now.

"We should, she'd probably appreciate getting a treat for once instead of always making stuff for others." Nodding Dustin lets Will mess with the tape a bit, smiling at the others reaction. He really had worked hard to make sure things would be perfect. He didn't want them to have to miss out on something that was supposed to be so pivotal for people their age just because they didn't meet up to what was 'normal'.

When Will mimics an all too familiar motion Dustin can't help the small amount he cringes even as he smiles and laughs. It's not at Will, more at himself. Remembering Snow Ball and how he had been so sure of himself only to be turned down by every girl, some even before he asked. It was okay though because none of them had really been for him and now he had Will. Will who was way better than any girl at any dance.

He takes Will's hand and let's the other decide if he wants to lead or follow. No he hadn't asked Eddie and Steve to help him learn to dance. That would be humiliating...and totally not what he did.

Only it was and it had sent Eddie into a peel of giggles while Steve just beamed at him. God he hated them sometimes.

"I mean a little but...no. Not this time." Dustin laughed quietly, letting one hand drape over Will's shoulder as he let the other lead. "And I'm not sure I want to tell you who did...I'm already never going to hear the end of it from one of them."

Sure he'd tell Will if he really asked, but there is definitely some color in his ears and traveling down the back of his neck thinking about how he had thought it was smart to ask Eddie Munson of all people. To be fair he had meant to just ask Steve but...Eddie was there as always. It was nice the two had become friends but sometimes he wished they weren't. It just meant twice the teasing for him.

"First off, yes I went to Steve but it wasn't just him and I sort of wish it was, and secondly...excuse you this is a Dustin Henderson Original idea thank you." He held the feigned hurt look for a moment before laughing, leaning into the other as they rocked in place with the music. Between the warm glow of the lights, the music, and being close to Will...so far the night had been way better than expected. And without any hiccups.

So far.

He could only hope that the girls could keep their mouths shut and not give the other guys the idea to crash their little private prom.

"Eddie is never going to let me live it down but it was a worthy sacrifice so, no worries."

"Sounds like a fun night to me, though I really don't know if we need to save any pictures for Steve and Eddie." He rolled his eyes a bit before leaning up to catch Will's lips in a quick kiss.

"Pizza's probably gonna be cold no matter what, hopefully it'll still be good though. Mom got the good stuff too."

"Probably one of the best things to eat cold, that isn't necessarily supposed to be cold." Dustin easily and readily leans into the affection, relaxed and happy just as they are. He's not an artist like Will, but he has it just as bad and it shows. Knowing that he can do things like this for the other and make him happy makes Dustin just that much happier.

"Yeah well, maybe one day when we're older. Who knows. But for now I kinda like getting to have our own private things like this. I'm glad you like it, was almost worried it'd be too much when Max was insisting on the balloons and stuff." Who is he kidding, he got the balloons and lights on his own. The streamers might have been Max though.

"I mean...I had to work on it before El and Max got ready and finish it alone after they left because apparently it takes girls forever to get ready." Shrugging Dustin just grinned. "But it was nothing I won't do again. I like being able to do something that makes you smile."

Even if it meant spending way too much time getting balloons and stuff set up, getting a new suit, styling his hair, getting food and dance lessons and then biking all the way back to the fort in said suit.

Still, it was totally worth it.
