Dating Abby Anderson and going to Santa Barbara would include...

You and Abby had already been dating for a while before everything in Seattle went down.

She and Lev were also pretty bonded after everything.

But you and Lev hadn’t spent much time together before the three of you escaped so things were a little awkward.

You were all pretty traumatised too.

Everyone you knew and loved - the people you thought of as family - were dead.

Lev and you bonding over not really knowing shit about boats and having to rely on Abby (who didn’t really know anything either but knew more than you two).

Nightmares were a pretty common thing.

There wasn’t a single night where one of you didn’t wake up in a cold sweat for the first few months.

You and Abby taking it in turns to sit with Lev until he went back to sleep after a bad dream.

Abby having a lot of guilt about everything that happened and feeling depressed and insecure for months on end.

She didn't want Lev to see how upset she was because he had just started returning to himself.

Most nights you’d hold her and cover her in kisses while she let herself cry.

The months went by and you all slowly began to heal.

Switching between being on land and being at sea.

Abby finding a big box of games and stuff in an old farmhouse you guys were picking through one day and being super excited.

You had never been big on board games.

And Lev being Lev had no clue what they were.

So that was how the three of you ended up crouching around the table on the boat every night as Abby taught you how to play all the games

Turns out it was just what you all needed - especially during those long days at sea

(Except for monopoly which led to you flipping the board over and the dice falling into the ocean)

That was the first and last time you ever played monopoly

You loved Jenga because it was the least boring one

You and Abby trying to find as many books as you could for Lev because boy loves to read

The three of you collecting a miniature library over the months

To the point where you almost didn’t have room for anything else

Because books everywhere

The three of you just being a family

The world was absolutely shit

But at least you had each other

Okay but as a biology student who's only doing biology because they're interested in a specific topic, learning about plant diseases is so funny to me because it's interesting and now taking up a portion of the limited memory space in my brain. Like I'm bad at biology - ask me anything about cells or the food chain and I guarantee you I will not be able to answer - bUT IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SURFACE KNOWLEDGE ON ORTHOTOSPOVIRUS IN TOMATO PLANTS I'M YOUR GUY

These ST leaks are getting fucking ridiculous—

[nico-the-newt]

Don't mind me, I'm just going crazy over the fact that since Stranger Things 5 is filming as we speak, there is an official ending to the entire show and Mike and Will probably won't end up together even though it would make so much sense if they did and be the only good ending to it. Like bro if you're not going to let my guy Will be happy at least get him a boyfriend or something idk

Stan: Why don’t you just marry Bill?

Bill *disgusted*:

Richie *also disgusted*: ‘Cause our kids would look like horses

[nico-the-newt]

Richie: Do you want to play 20 questions?

Eddie: Sure!

Eddie: What's your favourite colour?

Richie, laser fucking focused: Triangle. Do you love me?

Enemies to Lovers Part 2 - Ellie Williams x reader

Enemies to lovers part 2 baby!!!!

It had been almost a week since you and Jesse were ambushed by those runners. Almost a week since the pair of you had almost died. Almost a week since Ellie had hugged you.

She had been avoiding you ever since the hug - which was pretty noticeable given Jackson wasn’t that big of a town and the pair of you hadn’t gone a day without arguing in the two years you had lived there. 

Normally, this would have been something you would have teased her about. In fact, you were slightly disappointed that you couldn’t. But something in you stopped you from doing so. Maybe it was the way she had  cupped your face gently to look for cuts and scratches. Or the way she had hugged you so desperately upon realising you were okay. You hadn’t felt so cared about - and maybe even loved - in a long time. The one thing you just couldn’t figure out was why it had come from your sworn enemy. The girl who had gone out of the way to annoy and mock you since day 1.

Jesse and Dina hadn’t been much help either. They were both acting so smug and triumphant and victorious, that you couldn’t even try bringing Ellie up without getting smirked at and teased.

So, you eventually figured that if you wanted to quench your curiosity over the whole situation, there was only one person you could actually talk to who was capable of giving you a solid answer.

Ellie.

And so, that was how you found yourself awkwardly faltering outside Ellie’s garage on a Tuesday evening. You had wondered if you should bring her something - like biscuits or some shit - but then decided that was stupid. There was a good chance that you would be getting yelled at, and the last thing you wanted to do was stand there holding a tin of biscuits while it happened.

After a solid five minutes of chickening out, you finally knocked on her door. You waited for a few moments, listening as a great amount of clattering and movement came from behind the door, before it was swung open and you came face to face with the girl you hadn’t stopped thinking about all week.

Ellie definitely seemed surprised to see you - which had made you even more anxious but it was too late to turn away now.

“Uh, hi?” She had said, trying to sound pointy but her words still coming out awkward and hesitant.

“Hi.”

The pair of you looked up and down at each other for a moment, neither of you knowing quite what to say, but both of you knowing why you were here.

“I was just wondering if we could talk,” you finally blurted out. “…About last week.”

“Oh.”

She nodded for a second, her eyes darting around to avoid your gaze, before moving aside a little as if inviting you in. Returning her nod, you silently slipped past her and entered her garage.

You had never actually been in there before - which was pretty valid as Ellie had never liked you enough to invite you in. You had seen it from her front door many times, but stepping foot in it was a whole other story. It had a warm, comfortable feel. Posters decorated every wall, though mostly the one above her desk. There was an old couch pushed up against the garage door, behind it, fairy lights strung up, as well as a large white sheet which was half hung up and a projector coming down from the ceiling.

All in all, you loved it but you wouldn’t tell her that.

“What did you want to talk about?” Ellie asked, pulling you back to reality. You frowned slightly, wondering if she was playing dumb or genuinely didn’t know why you were there. You went with the latter.

“I don’t know - I was just wondering about when you- y’know- hugged me and stuff,” you stammered out, internally cringing at yourself. Ellie stared at you a little blankly, clearly questioning how exactly to respond.

“What’s there to wonder about?” She frowned, a little coldly. Okay, so she was playing dumb. That was just what you needed. You let out a small sigh and massaged your temples - this would be like pulling teeth.

“You hugged me, Ellie, we don’t do that,” you said, feeling irritated that she was dodging the question.

“Okay, you are reading into this,” she scoffed. “It was just a hug. People hug each other - get over it.”

“People who like each other hug,” you interjected pointedly, raising a skeptical brow.

“Exactly!” Ellie exclaimed, throwing her arms up into the air.

“Okay, but in case you didn’t notice…” you continued, only trailing off when what she had said had actually processed through your brain. “…what?”

Ellie, who was now staring blankly at you with her mouth forming a small o, turned pink and started scowling at you once more.

“What you want me to say it again?” She huffed, taking a few steps towards you so there was only a small gap between the pair of you. “I like you!”

You gave her a bewildered look, unable to quite comprehend what exactly she was trying to tell you. Ellie, the girl you had been sworn enemies with from day one, liked you? Was she being serious? Was she actually telling the truth? Or was it all just some elaborate lie to make you look like an idiot? You found yourself secretly hoping it was the former. Something about Ellie not actually hating you stirred up a strange warm feeling in your chest, but you would need to make sure she was really telling the truth before even allowing yourself to feel that way about her.

“Bullshit,” you scoffed, rolling your eyes. “You’ve hated me ever since we met. I mean, what sort of moron tells a lie as sick as-“

You found yourself being cut off by a soft, warmth spreading across your lips and opened your eyes to find Ellie’s face shoved into yours. She had caught you off guard, that was for sure, though to be fair, anyone in your position would be slightly startled. But, that wasn’t to say it was a bad sensation. Something about her lips seemed to stir you and you actually felt yourself begin to melt into the kiss. Every touch you shared lit your body ablaze - your lips moving against hers, her fingers tenderly spidered across your cheeks, your hands slowly sliding up into her soft, auburn hair.

After what felt like hours, you both pulled away from each other, out of breath and red in the face. Once she had had a minute to breathe, Ellie then sent you the biggest, shit-eating grin you had ever seen. It somehow annoyed you to no-end, while also making you feel a little weak in the knees.

“So, I’m guessing you don’t hate me?”

“Shut the fuck up and let me kiss you."
