Summary: When Lando Norris pulled Lando NoRizz in front of his (and everyone really) biggest celebrity crush

Pairing: Lando Norris x actress!reader

Warning: Carlos, Daniel and Oscar are being amazing wingmen, my bad English and also my first time doing this Instagram thing at the end so idk if I did it correctly

----

The race in Brazil was cool and all that, but there was one specific reason why the fans went crazy for it.

Y/N Y/L/N.

When the first person noticed her around the paddock, the whole internet knew, even though Y/n was there just for fun, just because she was a huge fan of the sport so when she was invited to watch the race from RedBull garage she couldn't say no.

Even the drivers wanted to talk to her during the whole rush of the weekend.

Lando Norris had his chance right after the podium, where he proudly stood on the second step. After the nice conversation he had with the girl, he went straight to his driver's room to call his parents and his best friend.

He was about to press the green button on his phone to make a call when suddenly the doors opened and Oscar was in his room as well. Lando even stood up in surprise.

"Please, tell me you did not turn the y/n y/l/n, the famous actress, the face of the year, probably the most gorgeous girl on this planet down." He said to his teammate.

"What?" Lando asked, even more surprised than when Oscar entered the room. He was the type of guy who knew how to knock and now he was there, accusing him of turning down his celebrity crush? "I didn't, she asked me-"

He didn't have any chance to finish his sentence when Carlos entered the room as well, looking like he was some kind of mad man.

"Lando" He went straight to his friend and with the palm of his hand, hit the forehead of his friend "What have you done?"

"Ouch! What? What have I done? What are you two talking about? And who let you in there?" Lando was surprised, to say the least. And he had no idea what those two were talking about. Also, he thought about how Carlos, the Ferrari driver, got in his driver's room, in McLaren.

"You turned y/n down!" He yelled at him.

"What? No, I didn't! I would never do that" He said. "And how do you know I even talked to her?"

"Fans are everywhere, mate." Oscar explained as he crossed his arms on his chest. Carlos was now walking around the room.

"Oh my god, but I didn't do anything. It was just a nice talk. I doubt she would agree if I asked her out." Lando explained himself. Yes, he had the biggest crush on her but c'mon, she would never have a crush on him.

"We heard something else" Oscar commented, he didn't really know what Carlos heard, but as he looked at him, he assumed that the Spaniard heard the same rumors he did.

"And what exactly was this nice talk about?" Carlos asked, annoyed by his friend having absolutely zero brain cells.

"Well, at first she congratulated me, said I was great there. Then I thanked her and told her I was a huge fan of her newest movie. Then, she asked me if I wanted to grab some coffee so I said I don't like it and then-" Lando stopped and then- "OH MY GOD, IT WASN'T JUST ABOUT COFFEE, WAS IT?" He yelled, now he realized.

"Lando, dios mio. I can't believe you." Carlos said as he held his head.

"God, so you really turned y/n down" Oscar said as he tried to stop this chuckle from escaping (not very successfully).

"Stop making fun of me! What do I do now? Christ! I was nervous and I don't know! Help me, now that you yelling at me!" Lando panicked, did he just lose the chance he waited for half of his life? No, that can't be happening.

"Firstly, calm down. Secondly, go find her and ask her to go out with you!" Carlos said as he looked at his friend.

And if panicking and two yelling guys weren't enough, he heard a voice.

"Well, I wanted to ask if it's true, but from what I'm hearing right now, I assume you really did reject y/n y/l/n?" Daniel asked with his infamous smile, maybe it wasn't the best time to make fun of his friend but he just couldn't stop it.

"Stop! This isn't funny! And who let you all be there? It's McLaren!" He said annoyed, now he had to deal with his own stupidity and three guys there.

"Alright, alright!" Daniel lifted his arms in defence "I just wanted to let you know that you have your chance to fix your mistakes. She's in RedBull, talking to Max. She's waiting for her ride to the hotel."

Daniel said and Lando stood there, frozen, what were the chances he would see her again if he didn't talk to her now?

"What are you waiting for? Go!" Carlos had to push Lando a bit, but he started running as soon as he was out of the room. Three guys left behind, smirking to each other's, and crossing their fingers for their friend.

Lando didn't really have much time to think about what he wanted to say as all the way there he was just thinking about not tipping over and falling on his face.

So, now he was standing in front of really surprised (and a bit embarrassed about being rejected after the first time asking a guy out) y/n and Max.

Of course, Max heard as well so he just said "Oh! the mechanic just called me over there! It was nice meeting you, y/n!" He said as he left and went towards this mechanic who called him over (maybe he was a bit crazy for hearing voices).

Lando was still breathing heavily, but he felt awful about this silence that he caused. They talked really comfortably before he rejected her. "Hi, again. I know what I said about coffee but for my justification, I hate coffee and I really couldn't think straight after the race. So, I wanted to ask if you maybe like... uh... hot chocolate. I know it's a bit childish, but I know a really great place and they actually have nice coffee too so if you like, you can have a coffee and I can have a chocolate and... " He realized he started ranting but he also noticed that little smile forming on her lips.

"Lando, I would love to grab some drinks with you."

"Really?" He face-palmed himself mentally and probably all four men who were watching from around the corner did that as well. "I mean, that's fantastic, we can go tomorrow if you would like that?" He tried to compose himself but then she giggled a bit and he was folded all over again at this angelic sound.

"That suits great with me. Should I leave you my number, so you can call me with more details?" She asked as she noticed on her phone the message that the car was already there to pick her up.

He looked around him, only to realize he was still in his champagne-covered racing suit. And his phone was in his driver's room.

Well, that's what he thought but then Daniel appeared right beside him.

"Hi y/n! It's great having you there! Are you enjoying yourself?" Aussie asked as he pushed Lando's phone into his hands, trying to be smooth about it. As he did it, he didn't even give y/n any chance to answer "Well I gotta go! Nice seeing ya!" He said as he went back behind the corner to three other drivers who tried to help.

"Yeah, that was- sorry" Lando said but hey, at least it was less awkward as they both laughed a little. Lando handed y/n his phone and she put her number there, Leaving Lando to write some good name to it.

"I think I really have to go now. I will see you tomorrow, right?" She asked as she put her own phone into her purse.

"Yeah, I will pick you up in the evening" Lando smiled one last time as he watched her making her wait towards the exit of the paddock after saying quick good bye. To the boys behind corner as well.

The one with you

Summary: just when a young barista thought her day couldn't be worse, it actually turns out it is... not so bad?

Pairing: Mick Schumacher x fem!reader

Warnings: a bit of body shaming, a solid portion of delusional, English not being my first language

She got on the bus dripping wet because, of course, she forgot her umbrella and she was standing at the bus stop for a good ten minutes because traffic jams in the morning were awful. She wanted to text her boss that she would be a bit late but just as she took her phone out of her pocket she noticed a notification.

Battery low, 1%

And before she had any chance to do so, little electronic device shut down.

She looked at her watch, good thing she was old-school about those and preferred to check the time on her wrist instead of her phone.

9.03am

She was already three minutes late and the ride was at least ten more minutes long. Her boss was going to kill her.

She finally made it to her stop and got out of the bus. She ran to the coffee shop in the hope she wouldn't get wetter and be even more late.

9.17am

Just as she opened the door and the little bell above them rang she was met with an angry face of her boss.

"You are late." The lady said strictly looking at her poor, wet hair, clothes and makeup on the verge of melting.

"I know, I'm so sorry. The bus was late, the traffic jams are terrible." She tried to explain but the face of her boss hadn't soften even a little bit.

"Then maybe you should start getting there on foot. That would do great for your weight. And bring an umbrella with you. Now you gonna take some time to get ready." Oh. So she chose to be mean that day.

"I- I'm sorry. It won't happen again" She could explain herself better, but it wouldn't work. So she chose to ignore mean remark about her weight and get ready for eight hours of work.

Her day was awful. Starting with the bus, then the mean boss, then the lady who wanted a vegan latte but with cow milk, the little boy who dropped his glass of hot chocolate and his mother who yelled at her for not cleaning it was enough.

She was on the verge of crying while counting down the last minutes of work. It was still raining awfully and now the last bus just passed by the coffee shop but she couldn't wait for this 40 minute walk home.

3.28pm

She was collecting half full glasses that two girls who left few minutes ago left on the table.

While the sign "Leave your glasses and mugs right there. Thank you:)" was just a few steps away, above a counter for them.

She put the first glass of now cold, half-full coffee on the tray while grabbing the other one and turning around to get them to the counter.

And just then, she was met with a chest of somebody.

She spilled half of the glass of coffee on the customer that just come in.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry- I'm just gonna..." She didn't even know what to say. The day just couldn't get any worst.

"It's alright. I was in the way. Sorry." He saw the panic in her eyes and he definitely didn't put "make a poor barista cry" on his to-do list today.

"No, I'm sorry. God. I will pay you for that shirt." She said. Yeah, she definitely had money for what looked like a Tommy Hilfiger shirt with her salary.

"There's no need. I'm alright, really" He said, and just then her boss rounded the corner and looked at her employee and the man beside her, she looked like she would blow.

"Oh my god, your shirt! What happened?" She asked, trying to act all cool in front of a customer.

Just when y/n tried to put herself together and start explaining herself without getting fired, the blond guy picked up the glass from the floor, which somehow hadn't broken and looked over at the boss.

"I'm sorry, I just spilled it all over myself. The glass is in one piece though." He explained and looked over at y/n, who tried, she really did try to tell the true but today was too much so she just decided to let the stranger save her in front of her boss.

"Oh, alright. I'm so sorry then. I'm sure y/n there can help you and bring you new coffee as soon as possible." She said with a smile, oh how fake this smile was.

She went back to the back of the coffee shop, probably to sit in her office while y/n with the stranger walked up to the counter in the cafe.

"Thank you so much for that. I think you literally saved my life." The girl said quietly. She finally had a chance to properly look at the guy. He had blond hair and the deepest green eyes she had ever seen in her entire life. "What would you like to order? It's on me" She asked with a tired smile, but it was still the prettiest smile he had a chance to look at ever.

"I think coffee would be nice." He said.

"Alright, which one?" She pointed at the menu above her head, which consisted of about 20 different coffees.

"The one with you? After your shift?" The question just slipped out of his mouth and his cheeks got a bit red. Already thinking what to say if he got rejected.

"I guess I own you, huh?" She answered with a question, but hey, that wasn't no, right? He asked himself.

"Only if you want to." He was shy. cute. "I'm Mick, by the way" He scratched the back of his neck without taking his eyes off her.

"I'm y/n," She said with a smile. "And I would love to get a coffee with you, Mick" He felt like a huge stone was being lifted off his shoulders.

"You are closing in twenty minutes, right?" He asked and she answered with a nod of her head. "Let me go home quickly and change a shirt without a huge coffee stain and I will pick you up. That's sounds good?"

"Yeah, but I still need to clean up the place after." She explained.

"Don't worry about it. I can wait. I will see you soon." He didn't even give her a chance to answer as he was already at the door.

He did seen her soon, and then he seen her every single day of his life. And there two things she learned that day: do not call the day the worst of your life before sun sets and do not cry over spilled coffee.

a/n. I'm honestly not very happy with that but I started writing it literally a month ago and finished it just now because I simply do not have any time.

The rings.

This is actually part 2 for the ring but honestly, you won't miss anything without reading this first part (besides super cool plot ofc). Also, Charles won the championship and Sebastian Vettel is here too because this man own my heart. Hope you enjoy it!!

Word count: ~2.3k

Warnings: suggestion of smut but nothing too graphic, my English and rainbow throwing-up sweetness.

Charles felt like he had been standing there for years. His hands were a little sweaty and his tie cutting out all of the air that was supposed to go to his lungs.

His brother noticed that but as the good brother that he was, he just send him a cheeky smile and shook his head. Beside him, his best friend Pierre and his other friend Carlos looked at each other, both of them with the same thought behind their eyes: How did that girl manage to still make this guy that nervous?

Finally, piano music stole everyone's attention but not for long because a few seconds into a romantic song, everyone's eyes landed on Kika wearing an amazing, long dress and holding the hand of a little girl dressed in the same color. Sebastian looked proudly at his daughter as she was throwing flowers at his old teammate's wedding.

And that might get Charles's attention for a second, sending a grateful smile towards the older, retired driver but that was until he noticed the one and only he was waiting for that day.

He had to blink away the tears in his eyes to actually be able to look at his almost-wife. More than once, hell, probably more than a hundred times in his life had he imagined her in a long, white dress but non of his visions were even close to the sign before him. He was glad that the aisle she had to go through was so long because he had enough time to take a little tissue from Lorenzo's hand and wipe away the tears that still managed to fall from his eyes and still had a second to admire her.

"Hi" she said in a whisper, not trying to break the silence that was there when she reached him. She had her veil behind her and her friend made it lay prettily on the few steps behind the couple, she herself adjusted the front part, that was covering her face and part of her shoulders. She looked at her soon-to-be husband though see-though material with tears in her eyes.

"Hay", he answered with a deep breath as he grabbed her hands. It was happening, he really needed to calm down before he forgot his whole speech. "You look... Amazing." He complimented her.

"You too, but you need to stop before I cry. Literally took too long to do this make-up." She said quietly, making him, her bridesmaids, and his groomsmen letting out a little chuckle and leaving the rest of the guests clueless.

(no idea what weddings look like in different cultures so you just gotta imagine that, but the vows are always cute af)

Soon enough, the ceremony started. "And now, it is time for vows." The older man next to the couple said.

Y/n took a very, very deep breath, knowing that she is going first. "Charles, I met you all those years ago, back when non of us were even thinking about marriage, we were too young to think about settling down but now, there's nothing I want more than settle down with you. You came into my life unexpectedly and turned it upside down, but actually, you turned it back the right way. You brought calmness and love into my life, two things I'd been crewing badly. Standing there today, I want to promise you, to always be your proud wife and be there through every up and down. Hold your hand during storms and tsunamis. Wipe away your sad tears and keep the happiest smile on your face. Hand you a glass of water in sickness and take care of you. Always be your number one fan. Stand like a wall behind you, be your shoulder to cry and best friend. Because as long as I got you, I will be alright because I love you more than I love life itself." Charles squeezed lightly y/n hands and send her a grateful smile as she let out the next deep breath she had been holding.

"Y/n, we both know that my speech had no chance to beat yours, so I'm glad it's not a competition. You always been smarter with your words than me, actually, I believe that you are just smarter than me, but that's okay, that's on my list of reasons why I love you. I would read it to you but I'm afraid that we won't have that much time in our whole lifetime. I would rather spend it finding out the next things to add to this list because I know you will never stop surprising me. You are the best thing I have in my life and I am incredibly grateful to my best friend and his wife for finding you because you are my person. I might have won a few things in my life but winning over your heart was definitely the best and the most important of them all. I, also, want to promise you my whole lifetime, my love, and every little piece of my heart. I promise to guide you through everything we will be facing together, be proud of you, and keep you by my side 'till the day my heart stops beating."

If y/n didn't make all of their guests cry, now adding Charles's vow, they for sure were. Even Arthur put his pride aside and lost the bet with his friend that he wouldn't shed a tear.

"Now, you can exchange your rings." The little girl appeared again and handed y/n and Charles two, beautiful rings.

"Thank you." Charles said quietly to her as he take a smaller one and grabbed y/n's hand. With both of their hands a bit shaky he somehow managed to put it on her ring finger and after he admired it for a second, he let go of her hand so she can grab the other one too.

"Thank you, sweetheart" She said to the girl again and with a big smile on her face little girl ran to her father, mom and siblings. This time y/n put the ring on Charles's hand and lifted her eyes to look at him through the material on her face.

"I now pronounce you wife and husband! You might kiss the bride!" Was heard across the building the clapping begin but it wasn't matter, not when Charles carefully lifted material on y/n head and sneaked under it too, putting it over both of their faces now. There was something magical with the way their eyes met and the way Charles put his hands on y/n checks. She put one of hers over his and the other on his neck as he pulled him closer for the kiss. Slow, and oh so loving. Kiss, that turned into a wide smile even before they pulled away from each other.

"I can't believe you are actually my wife, Mrs. Leclerc." Charles whispered close to her face. Oh, how sweet that sounded.

"And I can't believe you are my husband" She answered him.

He grabbed her veil and helped her put it back so her face was fully seen now. Then he grabbed her hand and made their way to the door as their friends and family clapped for them.

The wedding was magical. And oh, the party was magical too.

"Sorry, may I have everyone's attention?" Y/n heard Pierre's voice through the spikers and she looked at her husband in terror but he only laughed knowing that his very drunk best friend is about to make a fool out of himself "Thank you." He stared again and then cleaned his voice. "We are here today to celebrate the love of my lovely friend Charles and his wife, Y/n. When I and my wife set them up a few years ago, I never thought we would end up here. Like yeah, he was cool for a few dates but I never thought he would pull her that much."

"Wow, thank you, mate." Charles yelled at his friend as he squeezed y/n waist a little bit more as he made a few guests laugh with his comment.

"Don't lie to yourself. You may have a pretty face but you still can't form a proper sentence in front of her. Lucky matherfucker. Anyway, setting you two together was probably one of the best things I ever did. And I expect y'all to be grateful for the rest of our lives. Thank you." Pierre put the mic aside which caused this awful noise that lasted few seconds before someone grabbed it again.

"Yeah, Pierre speaks true. Y/n now that you are truly a Leclerc, I can finally say that you are my favorite Leclerc ever. Peace out." Arthur said quickly and put the mic down, this time in a good enough place, blessing everyone's ears.

"Want to go outside for a second?" Charles practically yelled to y/n ear as the music started playing again after his friend and brother's speech.

Instead of answering him, she just grabbed his hand and pulled him towards large doors.

Outside, he started guiding her towards one of the cars, not really caring whose it was. He sat her on the hood and started caressing her thighs.

"Don't mind me, I'm really enjoying the party but I can't wait to take you home and celebrate just with my wife." He said, his lips close to hers but still not enough to kiss her.

"Few more hours and you have me all to yourself" She answered and pulled him for a very craved kiss with her hands on his cheeks.

"Hey! That's my car" They heard which made them pull away. "Oh, that's you. Sorry, I didn't know." Carlos explained himself, his drunk state probably made him not notice the only white outfit there. "But now that you not kissing anymore, can you please, move to your car. Preferably inside."

"Sorry, mate. What are you doing here?" Charles asked, trying not to act like he just got caught. They both acted like two kids that were doing something they weren't supposed to.

"Isa asked me to bring her the other shoes. The ones she's wearing are too uncomfortable." He explained while opening the door and grabbing nude shoes. "Please, don't have sex on my car" He said as he made his way back inside.

Y/n blushed so Charles assumed her that it was okay by squeezing her hand a little. "Don't worry, he won't remember that in the morning. Let's go back inside." He said and with their fingers together, Charles was able to feel her wedding ring which made a proud smirk appear on his lips as they went towards the party full of their closest ones.

---

It was a rough hour of 4 in the morning and Y/n and Charles finally got home from their wedding reception. Of course, they were incredibly happy to have all of their friends and family there and that for sure was the wedding of the decade but that didn't change the fact that all they wanted was just each outer.

Y/n dropped her body on the couch as Charles unbuttoned his shirt and got on his knees to help her take off her shoes. His feet hurt like crazy after all that dancing so he couldn't imagine how she felt in those heels. After her feet were free he got closer to her face and kept himself steady with his hand on her waist. He kissed her lips.

"Should I help you with his?" He asked referring to her dress.

Before she answered she gave him another kiss "Please."

So, he pulled her up to stand on her feet and started undoing the corset of her dream wedding dress, he was really slow with it. His fingers were brushing her back from time to time and his lips were doing the same on bare skin of her shoulder.

She turned around in his arms as he finally completely undid it and put his hands on her waist. Her own went straight to the back of his neck as she pulled her closed and placed her lips on his in a loving kiss.

Charles was quick to put his hands on y/n thighs and without breaking the kiss he carried her to their shared bedroom. He put her on the bed and hovered over her supporting all his weight on his palms beside her head. Her hands wandered down to fully take off his fancy shirt and then even lower, to undo his belt.

She stopped when his sweet kisses hit the soft spot on her neck, making her moan, one of his hands went lower almost where she needed him the most.

"Charles, please" She whispered, as her hand run through his hair.

"Let me enjoy my wife for a bit." He answered.

And with that, she knew they were in for a long ride and she was right because the rest of the night or more like, the early morning they spend tangled in sheets together, for the first time as Mr. and Mrs. Leclerc.

a/n. Hope you enjoyed it!! I'm planning to write more for Charles but honestly, every time I try writing a series I just lost interest in it so as much as I want them to have babies, it won't be part of this. Also, I really want to write sth for Lando, so feel free to request:) Kisses xx

[1nephthys]

Okay, First, I love your writing. Second, could you please make and imagine base on grey's anatomy? Like, I'm rewatching grey's anatomy, you know when Derek loses that pregnant patient, and then he goes into exile in the forest, and when Meredith goes to the forest saying that she knows about the wedding ring and she wants it, and then he throws the ring in the woods, and afterwards he laments that he lost her. I love that scene, I need an angst similar to this for Charles, I don't know, it might be inspired by last year when he flies to Monaco and binotto had to pick him up. With fluff in the end pleaaaaaase

The ring.

Thank you so so much, also thank you for the request! It took a second and I changed it a little bit but I hope you still enjoy it!!

Part 2!!:)

Warning: my English and as requested - angst; little, tiny suggestion of smut.

Four years ago.

Charles' mom stood up with a smile on her face announcing that it was time for her to do the dishes. She prepared the biggest dinner she ever had done before when her son finally decided that he want to introduce his girlfriend he was talking about for so long. She had always seen those sparks in his eyes when he was bragging about her.

"Let me help you." Y/n stopped herself from adding "Mrs. Leclerc" as the older woman told her not to do it because she felt old.

She also stood up but Pascale touched her arm and said "You stay there sweetheart, you are our guest tonight" She said to the girl with warm tone "Charles will help me." She looked at her son right beside y/n and he stood up and pick up both of their plates without any protest.

Y/n got herself in conversation with his brother, Lorenzo about something while her boyfriend was washing the plates in his mom's kitchen. "And? What do you think about her, mama?" He asked quietly, afraid that his girlfriend might hear from the other room.

"I don't know. I just met her but she seems really lovely. And with the way you look at each other, I feel like I will have to like her" She answered his son and it made him so happy. He might had a few girlfriends before and he always asked his mom for her opinion about them but never once her answer was this satisfying.

"I think I'm going to give her the ring dad gave me." He told her. They were dating only for a few months so his mom was actually terrified, even though her son looked like he was really in love. The ring he was talking about was really important to Charles because his father brought it for when his boys find the right girl. He noticed every thought on his mother's face, so he added quickly "Relax. I'm not planning to propose now... But when it's the right time, I really love her mama. I just feel it's her"

His mother could just smile at his statement because she - as well - felt like this is the one for her son.

---

Back to the present.

"...and Charles Leclerc finish his home grand-prix right behind the podium, at 4th place!" Everybody could hear through the speakers. Everybody in the Ferrari garage cheered, not for Charles but for Carlos who manage to finish second in this race. Y/n on the other hand knew, that her boyfriend wanted more. She was there before race, when all he could talk about finally starting from the pole position and having the win within his reach but his team failed him.

He got out of the car, mad to the point that he didn't even want to scream and yell at anyone, just stay quiet. He didn't even go for a hug with y/n like he ALWAYS does after race. He just wanted to finish his interviews and go home.

And that was exactly what he did. He told the interviewer about his disappointment, trying to control himself with the rest of the faith he had in his team.

He took a quick shower as y/n waited in his driver' room. The drive home was quiet. Y/n didn't forget to congratulate her boyfriend but when all she got in response was quiet "thanks" and glossy eyes she knew that he didn't really want to speak now. She decided to wait 'till he was ready to talk to her.

"I'm going to take a shower again" Charles said. Both of them knew that this shower was just an excuse to spend time alone and cool down. Before he had gone to the bathroom, he checked his phone, which was on the dnd since his warm-up back before the race.

Hey mate, congrats on P4!

We have to celebrate!

There's an afterparty in *name of the club* you have to come with y/n!

He read all three messages from his best friend, Pierre and he really, really wanted to throw his phone out of the window at the first one.

"Pierre asks if we want to go to the afterparty" Charles asked y/n looking at her with his phone in his hands.

"We can, only if you want" She answered, still worried about her boyfriend mood.

"I will tell him we will be there." He said while putting his phone down and heading straight to the bathroom, before y/n had any chance to say something.

She decided it was best if she also took a quick shower in the guest bathroom of their house and started getting ready. She put on some makeup and a comfortable, yet pretty outfit and she was ready to leave. She was ready but the shower was taking Charles longer time than usual so she decided to knock gently on the door.

"Charles, sweetheart? It's already 8 p.m. Just letting you know" She said through the dark wood. What she did not expect was her lover opening the door with an angry face.

"Jesus, will you at least let me shower in peace? Or I can't do that too?" He asked her angrily, passing her on his way to the bedroom to put on some clothes and leave. She didn't even answer him because he didn't give her time for that and she wouldn't had know what to say anyways. "We can go" He told her, grabbing his keys and walking to the car, without turning around.

She let out a long breath and stopped herself from saying anything, as she knew it was already a rough day for him. Even though his cold tone hurt her a bit. She already knew that she wasn't drinking tonight because he was going to get wasted. She closed their apartment and sit in the passenger seat.

Charles got to the club pretty fast but all the drivers were already there most of them on their third drink. As always, he passed his car keys to y/n and she put them in her purse. They entered the club and Charles went straight to buy drinks.

"I'm not going to drink tonight. You feel free though. I will be with the girls." She told him. She for sure will keep an eye on him but she had mixed feelings and was afraid of him attacking her again. So, she kissed his cheek and was off towards Lily and Kika that were dancing together on the dancefloor.

She greeted both of them and she was glad that it was just like every time they were at a party because she really didn't feel like explaining that her boyfriend was mad at her for a bad race result.

It was already some time at the party and Y/n's mood was actually better now, she had a great time with the girls. Charles also seemed like he was having fun, he definitely did not want to save any money on drinks.

It was around 1 a.m. that y/n noticed that he was leaving the club so she quickly grabbed her purse and said her goodbyes to go after him.

"Charles! Charles!" She yelled after him as he was walking in the opposite direction of their house and totally ignored her. "Charles, wait! I can't catch up!" She yelled which made him stop in his track.

"Maybe I want you to not catch up, huh? I just want you all to leave me fucking alone! Today was shit and I don't really need more of your shit on top of it!" He yelled back.

"Charles, you are drunk, let me take you home, and then you can be alone all you want. Please, c'mon." She said quietly. She was actually glad that he tried to run away from her because at least they were far enough from the club that people outside can't hear them over loud music. Now he might not care about it but he would when he sober up and read headlines and messages from his PR management.

"No. I'm not going with you anywhere. You can go back to having fun with the girls" He said with a mocking tone. He never seemed to mind her dancing with others when they were at the party together so she was surprised at this. "At least you will leave fucking alone. You know what all of this go fucking nowhere. I thought you would be there for me but I feel like I can't count on you, too" He said.

Oh.

"Charles, you can always count on me, I'm here whenever you want to talk to me. I thought that wasn't what you want. And I'm so, so sorry for misunderstanding you. Please, let's go home and talk." She tried again. She actually felt like shit but there wasn't much she could do now, when he was this drunk.

"No. I'm not going anywhere with you." He said and reached into his pocket taking out a beautiful ring, the one his dad gave him. "You know what, I was so fucking sure you were the one to get it..." She knew it, she knew it for years, she just waited. "But fuck this stupid ring, because I can't imagine someone else wearing it and for sure not you now." He finished his sentence by throwing the ring in whatever direction.

Both of their eyes were on it for a second but they both lost it before it hit the ground. She stood there. Stunned by his words and stunned by him throwing the ring that was so important to him.

"Go away." He added, as if what he just did and said wasn't enough. She didn't know what to say or do. So she did actually turn around and started walking in the opposite direction, to their shared apartment, holding her tears for dear life.

The walk home took her longer than usual, on her way she was repeating everything in her head. When she looked through her small purse she noticed his car keys which suddenly made her feel guilty, she just hoped that someone would help Charles get home safe, even after he hurt her.

What she didn't know, was that Pierre was already there. He also was bloody worried about Charles, so he get out of the club not far behind her. When he noticed she started walking in her direction and Charles in totally opposite, right after he threw away the ring he told him so much about, he knew he needed to run after his best friend. He had a few drinks too, but he definitely felt better now.

"Charles!" He yelled. And this time, Charles actually stopped and break out in tears.

"I lost her mate, I'm so fucking stupid" He put his palms on his eyes, to stop the tears from running down his face but there was no use in it. "And I lost it too!"

"Charles, you know she won't give up that easily. And you still have a chance in the championship. You did not lose it yet." Pierre tried to cheer up his friend, he put his hand on his shoulder.

"I'm not talking about championship, mate. The ring. Why did I even do it? I will never fucking find it, I was just so angry and-" His cries were getting worst and worst so Pierre decided to call for a taxi before somebody take a picture that would be all over internet by tomorrow morning.

'Charles Leclerc crying outside the club! There's no more alcohol for him!'

'Charles Leclerc lost the chance for the championship and his long-term girlfriend in one day! That man must had f**k up in his previous life'

Yeah, that was not something he should be dealing with in one week.

He texted Kika too, explained the whole situation, and told her she could stay and he would ask Alex and Lily to get her home later but she said she want to go home too.

All three of them get into a taxi, Charles still sobbing, now also telling the couple about all his happy moments with his love. "I told her I can't count on her. While all I fucking did this whole day was throw mean comments at her. Or comment. I didn't talk to her the whole day. And she still tried to get me home. Because she was worried about me. I'm the worst boyfriend ever. Now probably ex-boyfriend actually. I lost the girl of my dreams mate, I waited so long to ask her to marry me and now I fuck all of this up. Four years mate, four years. And I never once regretted any second of it. But now she probably thinks I am." The car stopped. "I will never forgive myself, so how can she forgive me?"

"We are here." The taxi driver said.

Pierre and Kika thanked the heavens for that, because the drive never felt this long. Pierre paid the driver, with an apologizing, small smile hoping that the old man will not told the media about what just happened in his car.

Both he and Kika get him to the lift and then to their apartment and laid him on the bed in their guest bedroom.

"No, mate. I have to go to y/n. I have to apologize. And I have to find her ring before someone else does it." Charles argue but he gave up quickly when Pierre hold his shoulders down with Kika and that was enough for Charles to not be able to stand up.

"You will do that tomorrow, mate. It will be better if you catch some sleep now." Pierre said but Charles already had his eyes closed. He looked at Kika with understanding eyes and she returned the look. They both quietly exited the room to get to sleep themselves.

---

First thing Charles felt the next morning was his head. The pain was terrible, but as he looked around and noticed he isn't in his bedroom with his sweet girlfriend, he remembered the events of last night, and suddenly the headache wasn't so bad.

He want to the kitchen, where Pierre was already standing looking for something in the fridge. He turned around when he heard footsteps.

"Charles." He looked at his best friend. He didn't look any better than last night. His eyes were red and puffy his shirt was stained, probably with alcohol. "You should take a shower."

"Did you hear from y/n?" He asked straight away. He might be hella drunk, but he wasn't the type to forget the whole night because of it.

"Go take a shower first. We will eat breakfast and I will drive you home." Pierre told his best friend. He actually did hear from y/n last night, way later than both of them left the club she texted him, asking if he knew if Charles was okay. The next thing she asked after she was told that Charles was with her was not to tell him that she asked. And Pierre was actually on her side in this.

Charles had enough of arguments, so he did as his best friend said and closed himself behind the door. He noticed a clean set of clothes on the counter and he knew it was meant for him to borrow.

After his quick shower, he put on Pierre's shirt and pants and left the bathroom to join his best friend and Kika at the table. He sat at the chair that had a plate ready in front and he noticed the small piece of metal right next to it.

His eyes instantly became teary as he grabbed it with his right hand. "But- how?" that was all he managed to get out of his mouth as he lifted his gaze from the ring to his best friend's face.

"Yesterday after we left I told some guys about the ring. We left and they were looking for it. Carlos bring it earlier this morning. He said it took them over an hour to find it but at least it is here." Pierre explained.

He couldn't even explain in words how grateful he was for his friends, he made a mental note to thank his teammate and friend for it.

"I- I don't know what to say. Thank you, Pierre. Thank you, guys." He looked at Kika, too. "It would be even worst without you"

"I accept thanks in the form of wedding invitations." Pierre commented which got him a kick under the table from Kika. Was it too soon for that kind of joke? "Sorry, but you really have to apologize to her, mate. What you did yesterday was shitty."

"Okay, less talking, more eating. The faster you eat, the faster you will get to explain yourself." Kika reminded both of them. That left them without any comment as they both looked at each other, Pierre with a little smirk while Charles - still not in the mood for jokes.

"I think I will take a taxi" Charles said after they ate. Pierre just nodded his head, as much as he wanted to hear his best friend and his other half makeup, he knew that it should be done just between them.

Charles grabbed the ring, put it in his pocket, and left the apartment when he read the text that the taxi was already there. He felt like the drive took hours, when in fact it was only ten minutes. But it was enough time to overthink what was waiting for him at home. He even considered that all of his things were already packed and waiting for him at the door.

He, finally, got out of the car and made his way towards the lift to get to their apartment. He didn't even have his keys so he really hoped she would open the door for him.

It took him one knock at the piece of wood and only a few seconds for her to open it. As if she was already waiting for him.

"Charles." She said quietly, trying to control her voice so bad so it won't break, like she had any chance fighting the tears in her eyes.

"Y/n," He said, not doing any better. He considered so many options what would happen when he get there, yet he had no idea what to say now, that she actually opened the door. "Can I come in?" He asked her, realizing they still standing in the hall.

"It's your house as well" She answered and moved a little aside.

They both walked to the living room and Charles looked around. Their pictures together were still all around. Not a single one was moved. As if nothing had happened, as if he didn't throw away her propose ring right in front of her before she even get it.

"Y/n I- I don't know what I was thinking. I want to say sorry to you, but that's not enough for what I did. Never ever did I want you to leave me alone, I was frustrated by the race and the team but I had no rights to take it out on you. I'm sorry for blaming you for not being there when actually I'm the one that can't communicate. I know I can count on you and you can count on me, I will spend my whole lifetime proofing that to you if it is what it takes for you to forgive me." They both had tears streaming down their faces but that didn't matter now as Charles grabbed both Y/n's hands and squeezed them to tell her that what he was saying was meant from deep of his heart. "I'm not sure if you can do that but if you are, please take all the time that you need. I just really need you to know that I would go with you anywhere, just tell me where and I promise you I will be right by your side."

"Charles, I can't tell you that I'm alright- that we're alright because I am hurt" She said which had him in another wave of tears "But I will not throw away all those years together. But I really need time."

"Cherie, please take as much time as you need, just never leave me, please." Charles begged her but she didn't trust her voice enough this time, so all she did was pull him close for a hug.

So Charles was willing to give her time. As much as she needed. Even when the ring in his pocket were more and more heavy.

---

One year later, Monaco Grand-Prix.

"And finally, after many years Charles Leclerc finish his home grand-prix first! Ladies and gentlemen, Charles Leclerc is the winner of this year's Monaco grand-prix!" The commentator's voice could be heard anywhere.

Y/n hugged Arthur, her boyfriend's brother who was standing right beside her in euphoria. Everyone around them was screaming, throwing their hands in the air and clapping for her boyfriend. He got out of the car and run to her first like he always did. She hugged him so tight and he returned it.

"I'm so, so proud of you! You are the winner!" She screamed and his smile grew even bigger now if it was even possible. She kissed his helmet, in the place where his lips should be right before the couple was torn apart when Charles was pulled for other hugs and then interviews.

He returned to y/n as soon as he could and before he hoped to take a shower he told her "I'm glad you're here with me, I wouldn't have done it without you."

"You are an amazing driver, you are driving this car, not me." She answered. It's safe to say that their relationship had never been this good before.

"Take a shower with me?" He asked with a little smirk as he wrapped his arms around her waist, hers went around his torso in a matter of seconds.

And how she could say no when he was standing in front of her with his little smirk, fireproofs and his race suit hanging low on his hips?

She kissed his lips and they made their way to the shower and what happened there, was a whole different story.

---

Everything will be ready at 8 p.m.

You better not chicken out this time.

Charles read two messages from his best friend answering quickly.

I didn't chicken out, I just wanted it to be more special and keep it a surprise.

"Pierre asks if we want to go to the afterparty" Charles asked as he was sitting at the kitchen table, watching y/n making some food for both of them.

"We can, only if you want" She answered him, quickly returning to cutting vegetables.

"He said that this will be smaller, on a yacht so we can celebrate P1 with closest ones, not whole club" Charles explained, hoping he didn't sound susceptions.

"Yeah okay, dinner will be ready in 10, then we can start getting ready, okay?" She asked.

"Yeah. I love you." Charles said casually, with his heart-shaped eyes which sent off millions of butterflies in y/n stomach. She answered him with the same.

---

All dressed up Y/n and Charles finally get on the yacht, that seemed to be totally empty, no party in sign.

"Are we first? That unusual." Y/n commented as it usually them both to make an appearance when everybody is already drunk.

"Yeah, c'mon" Charles answered all uptight as he took a few steps and hopped on the yacht. He held his hand out for y/n to grab it and step there too.

It was already past 8 p.m. so it was quite surprising that no one was there, but what was even more surprising what that the lights were turned on. Turned her back to Charles to look if somebody was coming from port but when she didn't see anyone, she turned back around.

Only to be met with Charles on one knee.

No fucking way.

"Y/n, you've been there for me for the past five years. And for all those five years, I knew I wanted to marry you one day. I knew it damn well when I almost ruined our relationship a year ago. You took me back and I promised you to give you time. And I'm still willing to give it to you. I want to give you all the time I have. I want to give and share with you every second of my life for the rest of it. I want to be anywhere you are. I want to be able to count on you and make sure you can count on me. Y/n, my cherie, my best friend, my partner in crime, will you marry me?" He may or may not have tears in his eyes, his hands may or may not be shaking as he anxiously waited for an answer.

"Charles- I- of course, I will marry you!" She answered, fighting with the tears in her eyes. She went for a hug as well, noticing how beautiful the ring he was now putting on her finger. "It's perfect" She said, kissing his lips.

"Sweetheart, you have no idea how glad I'm you like it." Charles answered her after their kiss. It wasn't really needed because all he had to say was already in this kiss.

"Time to drink for our soon-to-be bride and groom!!!" Pierre yelled getting out of his hidden spot in the cabin. After he went Arthur, their mum, and actually too many people looking at how small this cabin was. Charles and y/n were too busy to think how all of them squeezed in here but surely five more minutes and they all would pass out due to lack of oxygen.

"Congratulations sweethearts! I knew since Charles introduced you to us that one day you were going to be Leclerc." Pascale said, as she was the first one to come to them when the music started playing.

"Congrats, mate!" Pierre hugged Charles while Kika by is side hugged y/n.

"I hope I will be your bridesmaid! I promise I will organize you the best bachelorette party ever!" Kika said to y/n which had her giggling. She just got proposed to and now she already had to think about bridesmaids!

"Hey, if she's bridesmaid I have to be best man!" Pierre answered.

"Ey, ey, not that fast amigo!" Carlos appeared out of nowhere behind Pierre, putting his hand on French driver shoulder "He said I will be best man after I found the ring last year! You didn't forget right?" Carlos asked.

"What?! You told him he can be best man? C'mon..." Two drivers started arguing over who was going to be best man at the weeding while Charles attention catch y/n voice.

"Wait, so this is actually the ring, like the one from your dad? I thought it was lost" His now fiancée asked.

"Yeah, it is. But wait, how do you know that my dad got it with me? I wanted to tell you that later tonight" Charles asked shocked, maybe he wasn't good at keeping secrets, especially not from her, but he would remember if he slipped this.

"Uhh.. that actually might be my fault." If it wasn't enough people appearing out of nowhere that night, Arthur was now standing right next to Charles with guilt in his eyes.

"What?" He asked his brother what did he mean it's his fault.

"Five years ago. You were helping mom in the kitchen after you introduced y/n to us. She was talking with Lorenzo so I decided to help too but I overheard you talking about the ring so I came back" He explained.

"Okay, but that still..." Charles tried to say that did not told him anything, but Arthur started talking again.

"Your secret was safe with me, I swear. For a whole ass year, I kept my mouth shut but then there was that party. I drunk a bit and she just-"

"Hey, don't put it on me!" Y/n laughed, as much as she liked Arthur alive, she wanted to hear really story.

"Okay, I came up to her and told her that I can't wait for her to be Leclerc and for you to give her the ring you choose with dad. I told her it was meaningful and everything. I'm sorry" Arthur got to the end of the story and looked up at his brother.

"So you telling me, I kept my mouth shut, bite my tongue like hundred times but all this time you knew about it? Unbelievable!" Charles said with a look of betrayal on his face. "And you, you little shit? You couldn't tell me sooner? Like every time I was panicking that I almost spilled the surprise?!" He asked his brother this time.

"I said I'm sorry!" Arthur argue back.

"Kids, please calm down. It's time to celebrate. My son is a double winner tonight!" Pascale said. And Charles couldn't agree more. Even though for a second he had forgotten that he actually won the race today, because now he had much more important win.

"You are right, Mrs. Leclerc! It's time to drink for them!" Max yelled, with a beer in his hand.

It definitely wasn't his first tonight.

a/n. It took me a second to write and it was also longer than I expected but I still hope you enjoy it! Especially the person who requested it because it was fun to write! I changed a few things but defo strong inspo from this grey's anatomy ep. Love you:))

Summary: If you can't sleep at least you can watch something pretty, but are you sure you are the one that gonna watch it?

Pairing: Charles Leclerc x f!reader

Warnings: English not being my first language

She was getting frustrated.

Turning around on her side of the bed for what felt like 6850 time while her boyfriend was soundly asleep beside her. She looked at the clock on her bedside table just to see that it was just a few minutes past 5 a.m.

If she can't sleep, at least she will watch the sunrise. She thought to herself.

Quietly, she make her way out of the bed and to the balcony of the apartment she was sharing with Charles in Monaco. On her way, she looked at her sleeping boyfriend and felt the peace. It wasn't often she had him at home, right beside her with his work that required a lot of traveling and her job that not always allowed her to go with him for support. She wished she could be with him at every race but at the same time, she needed to make her own money, even though he could support both of them and then sixty other people. She simply couldn't imagine fully depending on someone else.

She sat on one of the chairs on the balcony, facing the beautiful city of Monte Carlo and the breathtaking view of the water that looked even better in the light of the sun waking up. Even though their apartment was on really high floor, she still could hear two teenage girls laughing on the street. She wondered if they were coming back from some sort of party? Or maybe one of them had just broken up with her boyfriend and the other one tried to cheer her up?

Her thoughts were cut short by the balcony door opening and soft voice of her boyfriend.

"Hey" He said quietly, rubbing sleep off his eyes. She turned around to look at him and��oh, how lucky she was to have him. "You okay?" He asked with his French accent.

"Yeah, I'm sorry if I wake you up. I just couldn't sleep. I thought I might as well watch the sunrise." She answered him quickly. He moved closer to her, not with a single thing in his eyes that would make her feel guilty, and just now she noticed the hoodie he was holding, even though he was shirtless himself.

"It's not that warm early in the morning." He handed her the hoodie, the one that technically belonged to him but in reality, it smelled more like her perfume than his. And he was actually right because at this point she could feel chills going up and down her body. She was quick to put it on. "I will get cold if you don't let me sit with you."

And how could she resist this argument? He helped her stand up just to take her place and then pull her onto his lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she dropped one of hers behind his neck playing with his hair.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" She asked looking at the view behind a glass barrier.

"It really is." He answered a second later, only that he wasn't looking at the wonderful Monaco, but the sweetest face just a few centimeters away from his. "Did you catch any sleep tonight, cheri?" He asked her worried.

"Not really, but it's okay. I'll be fine." She said with little, forced smile. Now in his embrace, she actually did feel kind of sleepy and of course, he noticed that as she put his head on his shoulder.

"Well sweetheart, feel free to take a little nap anytime." He told her quietly traveling with one of his hands up to her hair and giving her little massage.

It took her only a few minutes to fall asleep in the safe and warm embrace of her boyfriend who was now looking at her with the most heart-shaped eyes ever known to humankind. All he wanted now was to get to the warmth of their apartment but he knew that if he even try to move a muscle she would wake up and struggle to fall asleep again. So he sat there even though he was getting cold with nothing but his shorts on and her on his lap.

Couple more minutes, he kept telling himself.

In the mid-time of his girlfriend getting to deeper kind of sleep he finally looked at the view in front of him, the one she was talking about, and indeed, it was beautiful. But then he looked back at her and with full confidence decided that he had even prettier sight right in his arms.

For a moment he even forgot that he was cold but he noticed goosebumps on her legs and decided that it was time to get inside because if he don't wake her up by that, the cold will do it.

He carefully picked her up bridal style and carried her right to their shared bed. He put her down and get it himself. It was enough for her to find his shoulder again and put her head on it with her arm going around his waist. He did not waste any time with pulling her even tighter to his chest with his hands around her body.

It wasn't even 6 a.m. so it wouldn't hurt them to sleep for a few more hours. So, with all the sleepiness still in his body, it didn't take long for him to join her in her sweet, sweet sleep.

a/n. It's been a long while since I wrote something so it feel kinda weird. But here I am because it is actually 7 a.m. in my country now and I hadn't get any sleep in last 3 days so it's either this or finding a guy named Tyler Durden. Idk. Hope you enjoy it:)

It's fine.

Make it work this time, Steve. (part 5)

PLEASE DO NOT COPY.

Steve and y/n tried their best to run as fast as Robin, Eddie and Nancy but due to his injuries and her still having troubles to couch her breath properly, they just couldn't keep on.

"Look, there" Steve said and kneeled down, y/n did the same. They were hiding under fallen tree. Beathing was harder for her with every second, even though she finally have few seconds to cool down. "Hey, hey" Steve said quietly as he looked at her panicked expression. "We are fine. It's fine. I'm sorry for screaming at you. Try to breath normally. Try with me." He grabbed her hand and put it to his chest.

She lifted her head and finally met his gaze. Now, they were starring at each other, with her left hand in his both, bigger hands on his heart, he breathed rhythmically and she tried to copy him. She somehow managed to calm down, even with demobats around.

"I'm sorry." She said quietly. "I'm sorry for all this mess." She added and Steve pulled her closer. He hugged her.

"It's fine, we're fine." He rescued her, his voice was so sure, he almost believed himself too. Soon, bats calmed too, so Nancy, Eddie and Robin appeared from their spot.

"We should go somewhere." Nancy suggested as she looked at them. They all nodded, but when Steve tried to stand up, he groaned in pain. Y/n looked at him, guilt running though her veins. How could she not notice how badly injured he was?

"I'm fine. I'm fine." He said but he was holding his side and his other hand was securing him on tree.

"You're losing blood. Oh my god." She said under her breath. "Come on, sit." And they both did, Steve grunted. He showed her his injures. Robin started panicking but y/n tried to think. She thanked good she decided to wear skirt that day because she had tights. She used her nails to rip it on her thigh and then took this part off. She didn't have shoes anyway. "Can you stand up now?" She asked and helped him.

She looked at his wound and couldn't look away. It looked so awful, she almost felt it on her own skin.

"I'm fine" Steve said, adrenaline was running though his veins and that was probably the only reason why he didn't scream in pain.

His voice made y/n wake up from her trance and she looked at his face.

"I'm just gonna-" She started and didn't even had to end her sentence because Steve nodded at her, understanding what she meant.

"Just do it fast." He said looking down at her.

She started behind him, putting tights close to his back and both her arms landed on his sides. It almost felt as a hug. He groaned when soft material touched his wound, making y/n feel bad. What if she'd make it all worst?

"Sorry." She whispered as she tied up both ends of her, now not wearable, tights. "Too tight?" She asked.

"All good." He answered as he took long, needed breath. "Thanks" He said when she finally looked at his face, instead his wound with all the focus she had. He had observed her the whole time, trying to ignore the fact that her skin was touching his all this time.

"We should go. It's really not the nicest place I had ever been to." Robin suggested, grabbing everyone's attention.

"Well, I'm in, just- where the hell you want to go? Cinema? Fucking School? Even school is better than this place" Eddie said, he was pissed. Or maybe he tried to be, to hide how scarring it all was for him.

"We should get the guns." Nancy suggested.

"Yeah! And then we can blow up those bat things that are guarding the gate." Robin said, already excited.

"Amazing. If we start walking now, maybe we will get to the police station tomorrow. Steve will bleed to death by this time and my legs will fall out of my ass." Eddie commented.

"I have guns" Nancy said, looking at his surprised face. "in my bedroom."

"Well, I guess then, we walking to Nancy Wheeler's bedroom to get guns. plural." He said and started walking. Maybe he didn't know where exactly she lived, but for sure not in a wood. "What the fuck this place is." He mumbled under his breath.

They all looked at him, then at each others and started walking behind him. Soon Nancy went ahead, when the group needed to turn left. Robin and y/n were walking together, Robin was talking about something and y/n was listening. That was keeping them both calmer.

Few feet behind them, were Steve and Eddie. Metal head gave other boy his jeans vest, but otherwise - they didn't talk. It was weird between them, Eddie felt like Steve hated him, Steve felt like he owned Eddie an apology. For jealousy. And for all this thoughts he had about him (even though he didn't know about it).

"So.." He started, thinking that maybe if he speaks it would be less awkward. It wasn't. "Thank you. For saving me."

"Yeah. You saved yourself too, no need to thank me." He answered coldly.

"Hey man, I'm sorry. I was... mean to you." Steve spoke again, when this not too comfortable quietness felt over them.

"Yeah, so mean for no reason." Eddie answered.

"Well actually, you tried to kill me-"

"I had a reason." He explained. "Y/n told me what you did in high school. Not that I wasn't there. I have no idea why she still like you. I guess it's your Henderson charm."

"My Henderson charm?" Steve asked, looking at metalhead next to him with confusion all over his face.

"Don't act stupid, little shrimp worship you. He keep talking about it all the time. Steve this, Steve that. It's getting annoying. At least now he's angry for what you did to this sweet girl that happened to be his sister. Since she act like this Vecna guy suck up her memory" Eddie said, not in his nicest tone.

"Yeah, I get that. She's angry, you're angry, Dustin's angry but-" He wanted to explain like he actually owned Eddie this. He wanted to explain it to the whole world if it would make it up. But it wouldn't.

Eddie stopped, making Steve stop too. He stepped closer to him, so close that Steve could feel his breath on his face. Nothing comfortable.

"But she's not angry. Do you even listening? Sad? Yeah. I have no idea what you did to her lately, Harrington but this is probably your last chance. Little shrimp gonna forgive you. And I have no idea why I'm saying that but you better not fuck it up again otherwise-" He didn't have time to end his sentence when lightning bolts appeared and the earth trembled making all of group fall.

"Second on my list of least favorite things, earthquakes" Robin said beside y/n.

"Y/n" no. no, no, no. "Y/n what are you doing here? Did you decided to join me?" She heard this voice again, looking around. He had to be somewhere there but no. She can't see him.

"Hey. Y/n! Do you hear me?" Steve asked as he shook her shoulders. She was with them again and earthquake seemed to stop. She also noticed Nancy's house right in front of her. They were close. It wouldn't been long 'till they find guns, escape and she would find new mp3 player so she nodded her head.

"Yeah, sorry. I'm here." she added quietly.

"It was Vecna? But he shouldn't- your mp3 player!" Steve yelled as he came to realization. "It got socked when you jumped into the water! God dammit y/n! How could we be so ignorant! It wasn't working the whole time!" He panicked as he touch little life saved attached to y/n's belt. His hands brushed over her stomach but he didn't even realized. She did though.

"Steve calm down, we are almost there. I will be fine." She said, trying to convince him (and maybe herself too).

"Yeah douchebag, we're not gonna get out of there if you start cry and yell at everything." Robin said from behind his back.

"Can we go now?" Nancy asked and when everyone nodded they made their way to the house.

Nancy opened the door, Steve was behind her with flashlight. Y/n wanted to be as close to someone as she could, so it happened that she was following Steve with every little step he took.

Everyone started looking around, it was awful. They weren't surprised when Nancy told them to hurry so she didn't had to look at it anymore. Steve, of course, agreed with her, for other reason though.

Nancy, Robin and Eddie went upstairs but y/n stopped in her truck.

"Hey? you coming?" Steve asked, looking at her worriedly.

"Shh. You hear that?" She put her point finger on her lips to tell him to be quiet.

After that, he expected not to hear anything. His heart almost popped out of his chest because he thought she her clock or something like that again. Last that he expected, was Dustin's voice.

"Is it... your brother?" He asked quietly. She nodded.

"They are in this house. Just on the other side." She explained, thinking about it "Maybe we can connect with them. Somehow."

"Lights." Steve said.

"Wh-" She didn't even had the time to finish her sentence because Steve had already started explaining.

"When Will stuck in upside down he contacted with Joyce though Christmas lights. Maybe we can do the same."

"Yeah, yeah! We need to tell-" Y/n said but again, somebody stopped her.

"Bad news. We are in the past and all our plan can go to fucking hell because those bloody guns don't even exist yet. We are gonna die here. But don't worry Romeo, at least you are here with your Juliet" Eddie said, his words dripping with sarcasm.

"We found a way" Steve said, choosing to ignore Eddie's comment. "Dustin is there. In the right side. We just need to find some lights and contact with him." He explained.

Nancy rushed to the light switch but it didn't work. Or that's what they thought at first. Chandelier started to shine with a bright light, they all went near it and put their hands up. It was even brighter then.

"Tickles." Eddie said quietly.

"Dose anyone know Morse code?" Nancy asked.

"I know only SOS." Eddie answered after Robin, Steve and y/n shook their heads.

"Perfect. Just- give Dustin sight through it. He knows Morse code, right?" Nancy asked y/n and the girl nodded her head.

They gave Eddie some space and he started doing his job.

"Y/n?! Steve?! Eddie?! Robin, Nancy?!" They heard Dustin scream. They smiled happily, getting their hope to get out of there quickly. Eddie tapped the lights few times to let him know that there were actually them. "Holy shit! They are in Upside down!" Dustin said, it sounded as if he said to someone who was with him in the room. "Give us a second. Go to Nancy's room. Near the bed." He said and they didn't question it.

They all sat at the floor, waiting for something that Dustin planned, they didn't had any other option than just trust him.

What they didn't know, was that Dustin, Lucas and Erica just stooled Nancy's little sister toy. By the time they set it up on Nancy's bed, the whole group was already there.

"You guys seeing this?" They heard Dustin smoggy voice. Nancy without hesitation started moving her hand above the bed and shiny sparkles appeared, making everyone gasp in happiness. "We're gonna unplug it!"

Sparkles disappeared but they heard Dustin saying to try it again. After a second of thinking Nancy written little "hi" to see if it working. When they heard Dustin repeated short word they laughed, knowing that they were saved.

Nancy quickly written that they were stuck and there was no way to escape though Watergate because it was guarded.

"We have theory that watergate isn't the only one, there's a gate at every murder site." Dustin explained which got everyone thinking.

"Do you know what he's talking about?" Nancy asked. Looking at y/n and hoping that the girl would understand her own brother.

"Uhhh, Eddie's trailer is seven miles away, but it's still our closest option. There's a gate" Y/n say, with worried expression on her face. It was too long way for Steve with his damages.

"I know your house here is, like, frozen in time but haven't you always had bikes?" Robin suggested, making their faces lights up.

"Yeah! Bikes, of course! Steve, you think you will be able to-" Nancy started, looking at the boy with worry on her face.

"Yeah, I think so." He answered, not even letting her finish her question. There wasn't any time to lose.

They rushed downstairs, then to the garage, where they were hoping to find bikes. And they did. Nancy took hers, Steve took Mrs. Wheeler's, Eddie and y/n somehow managed to both ride Nancy' father' one so Robin was left with much smaller Mike's one.

"This kid is so tall now, I can believe he rode this small shit" She complained as it was hard for her to pedal.

"You okay?" Eddie asked quietly.

"I think so? And you? It's kinda different place. Even darker than your room." She joked.

"Yeah, you definitely fine if you make fun of me." He rolled his eyes.

"Aren't I right, tho?"

"Yeah, alright. I would say it could been worst but if I did, I would have get worst. So I' staying quiet." He said with a shadow of smile on his lips.

Steve looked at them, in fact, he was looking at them every few seconds. Not with jealousy (well maybe a bit) but with worry. Now, that he knew that y/n didn't have her mp3 player his anxiety level raised higher than it ever been.

"Turn left" Eddie screamed and when they did, his trailer appeared next to them.

They jumped off the bikes and when to the door. When they entered, they met with gigant hole in ceiling.

"Goddamn" Steve mumbled, flashing his flashlight onto it.

"This is where Chrissy died. Like, right where she died." Eddie said. Y/n saw in his face a shadow of what happened that night. She lightly squished his shoulder as a little support.

"I think something is in there." They all looked at portal.

It seems like it was beathing, or someone was hitting it from the other site. Suddenly, it broke. Or more like, someone broke it with broom stick.

"Hi there." They could hear Dustin's lough and it was enough for all of them to smile. Y/n was never that happy to see her annoying, younger brother.

Lucas and Max got Eddie's mattress while Dustin and Erica created cord from towels. Then, Dustin thrown it up and it was hanging from both sites of portal. It was safe, they believed.

"Guess I'm guinea pig" Robin said as she was first one to climb. She landed on the mattress with a lough of relieve. "Thank God."

"Alright, y/n next." Steve said as he helped her to climb. When she landed, he wondered if she felt as relieved as he did.

Then went Eddie and while Steve and Nancy still tried to get out of Up-site down, he and y/n looked for his mp3 player in his dirty bedroom. She hoped that at least cassette was working because there was no way that Eddie owned any songs like that. After finding it, under a pile of dirty clothes, y/n put her cassette there, but it wasn't working.

"Cassette doesn't work and I don't have this type of romantic shit there. We need to go." Eddie said as soon as they entered living room. Nancy looked terrified and Steve stood beside her trying to calm her down and get her to talk. "What's going on here?" He asked.

"We really need to go. We will explain later. Come." Steve said, he and Robin helped Nancy, as Eddie and Y/n exchanged confused looks.

It was gonna be a long way home.

Make it work this time, Steve. (part 4)

PLEASE DO NOT COPY.

(Y/i) means your initials.

It was another morning of the whole group waking up in Wheeler's basement. "Morning guys" Nancy said when alarm clock rang. Robin groaned in response.

"Five more minutes." Dustin said into his pillow that he had under his head. He looked really uncomfortable on the floor with only this one small pillow.

"Fine, five minutes and not even one second longer." She said and looked over at y/n, she smiled a little at her. "Hey, can we talk upstairs?"

Y/n nodded and get up from her place on a couch. Robin quickly got there from her spot on a floor. Two girl went to kitchen where they sat at the table.

Nancy smiled, it was good to have her friend again this close. As a children, they used to stick together. It was sad for them when their relation got worst.

"How are you feeling?" Nancy asked as she put her hand on y/n's.

"It could been worst." She said. At least, she's alive, right? Scared, tired from lack of sleep but alive.

"You can talk to us. You can talk to me, you know that, right?" Nancy rescued her.

"I know- I'm sorry I didn't tell you about all this Vecna curse." y/n said, now she felt bad about it, even though she thought she was doing right thing keeping it to herself.

"Hey you don't need to be sorry. I'm just glad we got it on time." Nancy sent her a little, sympathetic smile.

"Yeah, me too. I just didn't want you all to worry. It wouldn't help, right? We were already working on it so I figured I would be fine." She explained. "But Steve knew. And Dustin" she added.

"Steve?" Nancy asked. She never asked y/n if rumors of what happened in their Senior year in high school were true. She felt it could be but she never had guts to talk about it with her. "He really did that? You know, high school?" She finally asked, maybe it wasn't the best time, but it better than never.

"Yeah, he told me it was true. But we didn't talk about it properly. I didn't want to. Dustin find out few days ago." y/n explained. She was looking down, of course it still hurt her but she didn't want this to upset her forever.

"That's why he act different with him lately." Nancy said, they all noticed but no one commented. Steve and Dustin relations wasn't on top of priorities list right now. "You know, I don't want to say that he love you and he changed and you should give him another chance and other bullshit.. but he really seem to care for you. Now especially but before too. I just debut that he would act that in love just for a dare." Nancy said.

It got y/n thinking again. She felt loved but after all it was dare. He told her that himself.

"I don't know Nance, I don't know what to think... He saved me. Literally. It's so complicated. I saw him- I saw all of you when I escaped Vecna but he-" She didn't get to told her that he was in all her best memories because everyone appeared from stairs. With Steve himself in front of everyone else.

Dustin sit next to Y/n and said "It's been seven minutes and I would gladly sleep longer and give you two more time but Steve said you probably already leave without us." He said as he put his head on his hand.

"Never know with you two." Steve said as he shook his shoulders when girls looked at him.

"Alright, let's go to the car if you already there." Nancy said as she stand up and grabbed her keys. Everyone else went after her.

"What was that about?" Steve asked y/n as the two of them left the house. He shout the door since they were the last ones.

"Girls stuff." She said as she took her place in a car leaving Steve to sit with Dustin in the back.

Dustin rolled his eyes but didn't say anything as Nancy started driving to nearest supermarket. He still remembered Max's words. Let them solve their shit without your help.

------------

After buying bunch of stuff Dustin accepted they were driving to Eddie's hiding place. Y/n had her headphones on with the cassette Steve gave her and her song were playing but not too loud, so she could still heard conversation in car.

"`not to be a wimp, but can I sit in the car?" Robin asked "This is gonna totally suck" she explained.

"It'll be fine" Nancy rescued her.

"He gonna break down" She said and sighed. It was too hard for all of them.

"Hey, at least he can drink himself into feeling better" Steve said as he lifted the pack of beer and bag of junk food that Dustin approved.

"Bullshit." She just said.

They knew he was screwed, Vecna was looking for his next victim, y/n was mentally exhausted and scared that the song soon would stop working.

If it wasn't enough, when they got to the hiding place they were meet with bunch of people, police and TV' cars.

"As many of you know, the Roane County line received a call a little after midnight reporting a homicide here on the lake. Officer Callahan here and myself arrived first on the scene. We made our way to the shore of Lover's Lake, about ten yards from that house you see behind me. It was there that we found the victim, an 18-year-old senior from Hawkins high, Patrick McKinney." The police officer said to the camera, Lucas who listened to him as well as the rest of the group was surprised and terrified. "His limbs and his body were disfigured" his words just confirmed what all of them were thinking "we have also identified a person of interest. Eddie Munson."

"Oh, man." Steve said quietly. They were taking one step forward and five steps back.

Seconds later, Dustin's walky-talky lat out a sound, they quickly moved when he heard Eddie's voice "Dustin, can you hear me?" He asked.

"Eddie. Holy shit. Are you okay?" He asked quietly. There were too many people around who were looking for his head to speak normally.

"No, man. Pretty good damn far from okay." He answered. They could predicted that.

"Where are you, Eddie?" Y/n asked after she ripped walky-talky out of Dustin's hands.

Steve looked at her. He was thinking about what she told him in Victor's house, well at least he was trying to but his head still wondered if she would care the same for him.

"Skull Rock. Do you know it?" Eddie asked.

Of course y/n knew it. Steve took her there four months into their relationship. It was the place when she had her first kiss. Well, in fact first make out session with him. Butterflies appeared in her stomach at that thought.

In Steve's stomach too. Every time someone mentioned this place in conversation he was thinking only about those good times with his sweet y/n. Even though she wasn't the only girl he took her. For his justification, four months into this relationship, he wasn't so sure about his feelings. He wouldn't took her to some popular make-out place.

"Let's go. I know were it is, I'm driving." He took keys from Nancy and they all went to the car.

----------------

As soon as they arrived they got out of the car Steve and y/n went first and the whole group behind them with Dustin close enough to hear their conversation. Little guy was still showing how upset he was with Steve, just without entering into their conversations.

"Do you remember this place?" He asked, breaking the silent. He knew Dustin was also listening, maybe he felt weird about it, but he understood his protectiveness.

"Yeah, I do." Girl responded quietly. She didn't look at him, she kept looking at her feet as she was carefully taking next steps.

"You know, I wasn't there since we broke up" he said, which was true, he was there planty time before her, planty time with her, but after her - he couldn't bring himself to go there. Popular make-out place became their place, one of many in his mind. This stupid stone, last row of seats in Howkins cinema, eastern shore of the Lover's lake.

"Me neither" y/n said, she wanted to start conversation but then she went right and Steve went left. "Hey, where are you going? I'm pretty sure we need to go this way" she said as she pointed there. The whole group was standing in a middle, confused.

"No, I'm sure it's there." Steve responded with all the confidence he had.

"I will check the map" Lucas said but before he had a chance to actually got the map from his backpack Steve was already walking into direction he pointed.

"Trust me, I swear on my car" He yelled without even turning to face the group.

They didn't had any other option than go behind him, knowing either he was right or he would get lost and they would have to look for him anyway. After they all looked at each others and y/n rolled her eyes, they started walking.

It took them few minutes but they were finally there. And Steve was right.

"See? I wouldn't have forgotten." He said as he looked at y/n.

"Alright, you were-" before y/n had chance to give it to Steve, they heard rustling leaves and Eddie stepped on the ground. "Eddie!" she said as she hugged him.

"Jesus, we thought you were a goner" Dustin said as he joined the hug. Steve looked at them, wondering how this guy had this superpower to always appear out of nowhere, scaring the shit out of him.

"Me, too. Man, me too." He said. Steve looked away as soon as he realized he was starring at them.

His eyes laned on tree. On this special tree. S.H + (y/i) in a heart. He remembered when they did it exactly. Well, he did, she was just standing beside him as he carved it with a knife since he knew she would cut her fingers off in a second he would give her this knife.

"Oh man" Robin said as she put her hand on his shoulder when she noticed on what his gaze was. He looked at her and then behind her, at Nancy. She had this sympathetic smile glutted to her face.

"Here Eddie, you should drink something." Lucas said as he crouched down next to the backpack and pulled out the water to give it to the long-haired boy.

He smiled thankfully and started drinking "I would prefer it to be beer or fucking vodka but I appreciate it" He said after a second.

Nancy started asking him questions about Patrick death. Y/n wasn't listening to it as she was looking around. She wasn't there for so long but this place still looked the same. Like someone froze the time there. Of course she noticed their initials on the tree too. She kept her eyes on it for a few second and then looked at Steve, now he was looking at Nancy with his arms crossed, focused on her questions.

"Do you know what time this was? The attack?" She asked Eddie, now having everyone attention.

"Yeah, I know exactly what time it was." He looked at his wrist, where his watch was. "9:27. My watch got soaked." He explained

"Same time our flashlights went kablooney" Robin said.

Same time y/n almost passed out because her head was hurting like hell.

"What does it mean?" Steve asked, looking at Nancy for answers.

She thought for a moment. "That surge of energy was Vecna attacking Patrick."

"Well, we step closer, right?" Robin asked, y/n nodded her head. She knew her headache wasn't just coincidence. Now, she was connected to Vecna, too. She wondered if it was going to have any other consequence than being on the verge of death and feeling killing pain whenever he attacking somebody.

"We know how he attacks." Max said.

"And where he attacks from." Lucas added, he was standing beside her. Everyone knew he still cared for her more than he cared for himself.

"So now we just need to sneak into his lair in Upside Down and drive a stake though his heart." Robin said looking at Steve.

"A stake? Is he like a vamp? Is he a vampire?" He asked looking at her.

She sighed, disappointed in her friend "It was a metaphor, douchebag"

"A bullet should work on him, right?" Eddie said from his spot after he drunk the whole bottle of water.

"We should chop his head off." Lucas suggested.

"All of the above, but we can't do any of that until we find a way into the Upside Down." Nancy said, stopping everyone dropping ideas how to kill Vecna.

"We need El and her powers" Max said.

"Everything was way easier. We had this girl. She had superpowers." Steve explained to Eddie. Y/n looked at them, she was happy (if you could said that in all this mess) that Steve finally dropped his attitude towards Eddie.

"Superpowers. Yeah, you mentioned her." He responded, quite surprised that Steve decided to talk to him. "Hey, uh, little Henderson isn't cursed, is he?" He asked as he looked at the boy who was walking around.

"No, he just mental." Steve said as Dustin looked at them, offered. "We made a promise to said it if someone got cursed again, right?" He added and everyone nodded.

"Sorry" y/n membered under her breath, still embarrassed that she kept that to herself.

"Boom! I think I just found the gate. Not found it, but I know how to do that!" Dustin screamed as he got on his knees and stared looking for something in his backpack.

"What do you mean?" Steve asked.

He got his compass out and looked at it for a second "Boom! See! I was right!"

"Dustin-" Steve said, getting annoyed but this kid and his talking out of stock.

"Compass is way off. You know what dose it mean?" He asked and Steve shook his head. "Of course you don't. You know what can affect a compass?" He asked again and when Steve, again shook his head he sighed. "An electromagnetic field." He explained proudly.

"Sorry, I must've skipped that class." Robin said, as a way to ask for further explanation.

"In the presence of a stronger electromagnetic field, the needle will defect towards that power." Lucas joined the chat.

"So either there's some super big magnet around here, or.." Dustin said, excited about his discover.

"There's a gate." Lucas ended his sentence also getting excited.

"But we're nowhere near the lab." Nancy said looking at two boys.

"But what if, somehow, there's another gate?" Dustin suggested. "A gate that we don't know about. It'd have to be smaller. Way less powerful."

"Snack-size gate." Robin said.

"How? Why?" Steve asked, he was confused.

"No idea. All I know is that something is causing this disturbance and the last time we've seen anything like it, it was a gate. And I hope it is because then we'd have a way to Vecna. And a shot at freeing y/n from this stupid curse." He explained and started walking somewhere.

"Hey! Where are you going? Hey!" Steve yelled at him, making him turn around. "Eddie is still wanted. I don't think we should just go hike in the woods."

"This little steel capsule might be the key to saving both Eddie and y/n. You want her to be safe, right?" He asked, getting on his nerves, of course he wanted her to be safe, Eddie too. But it was risky and he couldn't let his feelings get over him.

"Of course I want, Dustin. But it's serious. We need to think." He explained.

"If you want her to be safe then you wouldn't-" He started but Eddie interrupted him.

"Alright, that's enough. It's really bad idea, but it's only way. So, we should go" He said and grabbed his stuff.

And they all went after Dustin.

"Nerds." Steve commented, he was last one, right behind y/n and Eddie, as he ran with all his stuff to her.

----------------

"Something's happening." Dustin mumbled to himself as he ran though bushes, everyone behind him. He stopped, well Eddie stopped him when there's Lover's Lake appeared in front of them.

"Watch your step buddy." He said as he put a hand on his chest to stop him from falling into freezing cold water.

"Oh, man" Steve said as they all stood beside him. Y/n was out of beath after a long run.

"You gotta be shitting me." she said as she tried to couch it "That long run for nothing."

"Maybe not for nothing. Maybe Vecna's leaving an opening whenever he attack. Like demogorgon." Nancy said.

"Yeah, only one way to find out." Steve said as he noticed a little bout not to far away.

They quickly made their way over to it and then Steve and Eddie started to put it in right place to start it. When it was ready Nancy was the first one to got on it. Then Robin, as she put her hand on boy's heads to easily join other girl. Eddie also sat inside as he figured that Steve would help y/n. But instead he also just got inside.

"Alright, we can go" He said, totally ignoring the rest of group.

"Hey, what about me?" Y/n asked.

"You're staying." Steve responded.

"What, why?" She asked confused.

"It's dangerous. And this thing could sink, we don't want that." He explained her.

"Steve, I think it will be fine if y/n go with us-" Nancy got into conversation.

"Just go, she staying, it will be better." He said, he was stubborn so Eddie just start engine after making sure that Dustin gave Nancy compass.

"Sorry." He said quietly to her.

Y/n could just looking at them, hoping they would be fine.

"whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down, guys" Nancy said looking at compass that was totally going off now.

"They stopped." Y/n told Dustin and he grab his walky-talky to ask them what was going on. But they didn't responded. Y/n saw Steve getting undress which made her heart beat a hundred times faster. "Steve don't tell me you're going to jump into this water." She said when she took little communication machine from her brother hands.

"Somebody's need to go down and check this out." He told her and then dropped walky-talky to take of his sweater. "Unless one of you three can top being a Hawkins High swim co-captain and a certified lifeguard for three years, then it's gotta be me." He explained to the those who were on a bout.

Eddie got a plastic bag out of his pocket and put flashlight inside and then hand it to Steve. "There. Good luck" He said with a serious expression.

"Thanks." Steve took the flashlight and was about to jump when he heard y/n voice.

"Be careful, Steve." She said with binoculars pressed to her eyes. Because of that she could see when Steve nodded his head into her direction gently.

Next thing she saw was him getting into this freezing water. She hold her breath with him looking at the boat and praying for him to got out quickly.

"Come on, Steve. Come on." Dustin said under his breath looking for his friend, even though now he was more than upset with him.

He finally appeared loudly getting his first beath. "I found it." He said.

"Did he found it? Is he okay?" Y/n voice was heard.

Nancy grabbed walky-talky and responded her "He did and he look fine."

"I'm good." He said and after that something pulled him down. Y/n saw it and she was quick to start talking her shoes off. Dustin grabbed binoculars and noticed that there was no Steve.

"Y/n what are you doing?" He asked his sister.

"I'm going to help him." She said quickly and jumped into water "Stay safe." She yelled at them right before her head went under water.

"Y/n! Hey! You can't swim!" Dustin yelled. Only him and Steve knew about it. She sworn she would kill both of them if they told anyone, but now it wasn't matter, because now she was the one she was trying to kill.

"What? She's going to drown!" Max yelled. "Y/n! Y/n!" They all screamed for her but she didn't hear it. Her lungs were burning but she was determinate to find Steve.

Dustin and Lucas started taking their shoes off too, but then Max heard police sirens. "Guys." She said and they stopped, now hearing it too.

"Shit, we can't let them find Eddie." Dustin said.

"Follow me." Max said.

"What about-" Dustin started but she cut him off.

"She will be fine, Steve and rest got her." She responded and got a nod from Dustin.

Then, she started working.

On the bout, Nancy also jumped in, Robin was right behind her and then Eddie. He didn't want to stay there all alone.

When they finally were in Upside Down they saw Steve and demobads eating his insides. Nancy started fighting them along with Robin and terrified Eddie, who saw it all for a first time.

They killed them, but Steve was splitting blood and had a choking mark on the neck.

"Jesus H. Christ" Eddie screamed.

"Are you okay?" Nancy asked as he looked at Steve's injuries.

"Well, they took about a pound of flesh" He said looking at his side "But other than that, yeah, never better."

Then they saw y/n. Well, heard her first as she spat out the water and choked for air. It took her much longer than she expected to get there and while swimming to the bout she didn't have much chances to get air since her had was mainly under water and her hand and legs were trying to somehow bring her above the water surface. Steve ran to her and crouched down beside her.

"Y/n! What the hell are you doing there?" He asked as he held her to help her caught her breath.

"I- you just disappeared under water, I was scared." She said when she finally was able to breath.

"Y/n you can't swim, you could fucking die!" He screamed at her. She didn't expect him being angry at her.

"I- I wanted to help." She tried to explain herself.

"Well you wouldn't help by dying!" He said.

"Hey! Stop screaming! Look!" Robin said as she noticed next bats.

"Shit" Eddie said.

"There's not that much, we can take them, right?" Steve commented. And then they saw more flying into their direction.

"You were saying?" Nancy asked, as she looked around.

"Woods." Y/n suggested.

"Right, let's go, fast" Nancy said and they started running again, making y/n almost split out her lungs.

Steve grabbed her hand trying to give her more power, like he had never yelled at her.

But they were running and it felt like they ran for hours. And y/n's mp3 player got flooded when she jumped into the water but it seemed like she was only one who realized.

A/n. I'M SORRY AGAIN IT'S TAKING SO LONG but I'm telling you, I never been this busy in my whole life. I hope you like it anyway. Have a nice day or night or whatever and go watch Joseph on Jimmy Fallon. Love you all<3.

Make it work this time, Steve. (part 3)

PLEASE DO NOT COPY.

Alright, I'm posting this again because I deleted it by mistake (istg I can use Tumblr) anddd I want to add - the title is not about Steve and reader

Everyone was siting in Wheeler's basement, asleep. Everyone except y/n. This is not how it supposed to go. Y/n supposed to sit between Robin and Max on a couch and the whole group supposed taking turns to keep an eye on her.

"Earth to Dustin. Hellooo!" Eddie kept saying on the other side of walky-talky. It was laying beside Steve so he woke up first.

"Eddie?" he asked still kind of out of this world.

"Stevie? Heyy! Listen, I know we are probably not a the best terms, but I will need some food soon. It would be nice if-" Eddie talked on the other side of Dustin's device when Steve finally looked around the room.

His eyes finally laned on the couch. On the empty space between Robin and Max. Exactly were y/n was supposed to sleep. "Not now Eddie" he said quickly. Before the guy on the other end had any chance to answer and beg him to listen, Steve was already on the stairs. Hell, he was already on the corridor, screaming her name.

"Morning, Steve. Are you okay, sweetheart?" Nancy's mom asked him. He looked around and noticed the girl he was looking for. She was sitting with her back to him and headphones on. She probably didn't even heard him. But what important, she was all fine and in one piece.

"Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry. Everything's alright" He answered after a second as he took few deep breaths.

"I think it's so sweet of you to care for your girlfriend. But don't worry she's fine. This murder will not get her in this house." Karen said. She had no idea about anything. This murder could get her anywhere. And he couldn't call her his girlfriend.

"She's not- we broke up. In high school." He explained which gave him a little stab to the heart.

"Oh, I'm sorry" She gave him sympathetic smile.

He ignored her and sat beside y/n. "Hey."

"Hey" she answered as she took her headphones off and put it around her neck.

"You scared me" he said. He didn't sound angry, mad or upset. He sounded worried, really worried.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't sleep." She smiled a little at him "you kept blasting music in my ears, for some reason." he chucked.

"Yeah, sorry 'bout that" he said with a smile, it was making his heart so happy to finally talk with her, even joking when no one was around, just the two of them. He looked at the table and noticed a map and pencil. "What's this?" he asked.

"It's- you know, when I was there I saw some things. There was mainly this red fog but- it's may be stupid but.. also random pieces of- I don't know- a house? Then this fucking towers and- and bodies-"

"Y/n- I'm sorry you needed to see that" He said as he put his hand on her shoulder. She appreciated it.

"It's fine- I'm gonna be okay." she rescued. Not sure if she did it for him or herself. She looked over at map again. "But I saw something specific. The only thing that was actually clear. I saw window- like not just a window. Stained glass with roses. I'm just sure I've seen it somewhere. Now, I'm trying to figure out where exactly." She told him. Steve wanted to help, he was thinking for a few seconds before some idea appeared in his head.

"Can you draw this stained glass?" He asked her as he grabbed the container of crayons and piece of paper that younger Wheeler girl probably left there earlier.

"I will try my best" y/n responded and quickly started drawing. Steve was looking at her hands, he remembered how good of artist she was. As soon as she started coloring he knew this door. He looked at the map, she was too focused on drawing to noticed.

"It's there." He said as he pointed on one of the crosses she made earlier. "It's Victor Creel's house" he looked at her. This house was abandoned for years, some teenagers were making jokes that it was haunted.

"Of course it is. He is connected with Vecna, somehow" she said under her breath.

"I will wake up the rest, we are going there." Steve said as he stand up, y/n after him and soon the whole group were siting in his car without any idea where they were going.

------------

They finally made it to the house. There were little, old playground next to it and a lot of wilted plants. It was ruin, all windows and doors boarded up, but y/n still could see a little bit of this stained glass.

"Is it the house you saw there?" Nancy asked from the back of the car. Y/n was sitting on a passenger seat next to Steve.

"I mean- I guess? The door is the same. And it's make sense." She answered, not taking her eyes off ruined building.

"Alright, we will go. Robin, you will stay there with y/n" Steve ordered, surprising everyone in the car.

"Fine with me" Robin commented.

"No. Are you kidding? Why would I stay there?" Y/n asked him.

"Because it's dangerous. Especially for you. What if he looking for you? And if this place is really connected with him, he might feel you there or something. We're not risking" He explained. Bullshit. She thought.

"He might be right" Dustin said from the back seat.

"You little traitor" Y/n said under her breath. "Come on." she said and before anyone had any chance to stop her, she was out of the car on her way to the door.

"You really tried to stop her?" Max asked, looking at Steve and then Dustin as she got out of the car and went to y/n's side.

Everyone else went after them, Nancy took crowbar and soon they were taking boards off the doors, showing more and more of stained glass.

"What we are looking for in this creepy-ass house, again?" Robin asked as she was looking at Nancy. Steve came to help her.

"We don't know exactly but we know this house is important to Vecna so maybe we will find out where he is. why he's back. why he killed the Creels. And how to stop him before he comes back for y/n." Nancy explained.

"But you don't really think he is in there, do you?" Lucas asked, looking at Steve's back.

"We will find out." Max said, now nerves were getting into her.

Steve dropped last board, showing the group stained glass in all its glory. "Y/n. You sure it's what you saw?" He asked, looking at the girl. Everyone was looking at her, but she barely heard him.

Instead, she heard someone else.

"Y/n." hard, low voice said "What are you doing in here, y/n?"

"Y/n?" Steve said again, since she didn't look away of the door.

"Uh, yeah. I'm- I'm sure it's there" She said after a second.

"Alright" Steve tried to open the door "It's locked." He said, like nobody noticed "Should I knock, see if anybody's home?" he asked.

"No need" Robin said, behind everyone's back, holding a huge rock in her hand. "I found key."

It took her seconds to shatter the window and put her arm in the hole, to open the door from inside.

"Ladies first" she gestured to Steve.

"Very funny" he said sarcastically but went first anyway.

Nancy went behind him, then Dustin, Lucas and Max. Robin was last one, behind y/n since she wasn't too enthusiastic about going in there anyway. They started looking around, Lucas even tried to turn on the light.

"Looks like someone forgot to pay their electric bill." He commented.

Y/n went a little further with her flashlight. She saw it again, this old grandfather clock. "Hey, guys" She said with a lump in her throat. She didn't take her eyes off in when everybody stand around her, looking at it too. "You all see that, right?" she asked them.

"Yeah. Old clock." Dustin said.

"Yeah, you saw it in your visions, right?" Steve asked. She could just nod her head.

"This house have the answers. Somewhere." Nancy said. "Okay, everyone stay in groups. Me and Robin, upstairs."

"I will stay with Steve and y/n." Dustin said, the girls already left. There was no way he would leave his sister with this asshole all alone, after what he heard. Even though she seemed to be less upset than before. She used to act like nothing happened, so maybe now she was doing it too, right?

"Come on Dustin" Max grabbed his wrist and pulled him to one of the rooms before he had any chance to refuse.

"Max you don't understand-" Dustin said when there were just three of them. Max, Dustin and Lucas "he did something stupid and-"

"Weird 'cause since she almost got killed by Vecna she's much nicer to him" Lucas said.

"Yeah! and I don't understand why! She acted like nothing happened for so long and I tried to get them back together and she'd never told me anything!" Dustin said, frustrated.

"Dustin, what are you talking about?" Max asked and then he realized that they still didn't know about this dare. "Let them solve their shit without your help, huh?"

"I don't want her to get hurt." He said quietly.

"Steve would never hurt her." Lucas said and he was right. Somehow. Now, he wouldn't hurt her. Now, he would do anything just to keep her safe.

Meanwhile, Y/n and Steve went upstairs. Y/n had song playing on her headphones which were laying on her shoulders, music was loud enough to feel safe but also hear Steve.

"Hey, can I tell you something?" he asked quietly as they both looked around. She just hummed, to focused on looking at spiders' nets. "I know I have kinda shitty timing, but after what happened- you know in your bathroom. I don't want to argue again, but I almost lost you for lifetime. I- I don't want it to happen y/n, I fucked up, I know I did but I will do anything to fix it." He confessed.

"Steve-" y/n said quietly, she was thinking about him much more lately, about what she should do.

"No y/n- just let me-" he didn't even know what especially he wanted to said but for sure he didn't want her to interrupt him "I know I had so much time to talk to you before all of it happened and now it's much more complicated because of Vecna and Eddie is there but-" Steve said but y/n interrupted him again when she noticed that something reflected the light of her flashlight from the ventilation grille.

"What's that?" She asked, it seemed like she totally ignored Steve's confession.

She rushed over there and lifted the grate. Steve sighed and crouched down beside her. He put his hand down and raised a jar. They saw dead spider inside with net and leaves. It looked like someone long time ago made house for a small insect. There were a lot of jars like this one.

"Steve, don't move" y/n said quietly when she noticed one spider on boy's shoulder. Before she had any chance to say something more, he started shaking it off which made the jar in his hand drop and break on the floor. He grabbed y/n hand and in panic got out of this room closing the door behind them.

"Sorry" he said after a second when he realized he was, in fact, holding her hand. He let her go but maybe, or maybe not, his stomach was full of butterflies and he totally forgot about spiders, Vecna and literally the whole world.

"It's fine" she said as she looked at him, totally not feeling the same butterflies.

"What's going on there?" Nancy asked as she appeared from the other side of corridor.

"Uhh, there was a spider. Were a lot of spiders." Steve said after a second "don't go in there" he added as he pointed at the door he just closed.

"Wait, stop moving" Nancy said as she reached Steve's hair "I got it" Y/n was just standing there, awkwardly, looking anywhere but at her two friends. Who in the world didn't heard the rumors about Steve's feelings for Nancy? Of course, y/n knew there was nothing, Nancy was her friend and she would tell her, but deep down inside, even during their relationship with Steve, she was insecure about it.

"If there's a spider, you're never gonna find it till it lays eggs and the babies spill out." Robin said as she appeared behind Nancy. Y/n looked at her, grateful. Maybe it was just her or maybe the air became less heavy when there wasn't just the three of them.

"What's wrong with you?" Steve asked as he turned around. Y/n chuckled under her breath "And you?" Steve looked at her, then he heard Nancy also did that "Come on, you too?" he asked. "So you all are friends now? Awesome. I mean- It's really is- I mean I know you two were but Robin now too- I mean. You know what I mean." Steve explained, at least he tried. "We should all go out somewhere. After you know, we safe the world and stuff. You know, me, you two, Robin, wherever she went right now-"

"I'm right there!" She said as she stuck her head out from behind the wall "actually looking for something and not asking two girls at once on a date" she tested.

"It's not a date! We had just platonic feelings right there" Steve explained quickly. He pointed his finger between him and Nancy, making sure y/n got what he was talking about.

"Yep, just platonic friendship. Nothing more since freshmen year of high school." She added awkwardly, she had never thought about it but now when Steve was so desperate to show y/n he did not have any romantic feelings towards Nancy, she wanted show her that too. She always crossed her fingers for those two. "But I think it's great idea. Y/n, are you in?" Nancy asked. Right now, y/n thought about Steve and Nancy, she never told any of them how she felt about their relationship, so they never made it clear to her that this was just friendship. She felt like huge stone was lifted from her heart.

"Yeah, I think it will be nice." She answered with a little smile. Robin chuckled from her place but they all heard it. "Let's go back to looking for.. something"

"You're right." Steve said and he went to the next corridor "You're coming?" he asked as he looked at y/n, she nodded.

"So about what you said earlier, before spider attacked you," she chuckled before continuing "what did you mean about Eddie? I mean, you said it's complicated because of Vecna, yeah you for sure right with that, but Eddie part? You don't like him, do you?" She asked as she stopped walking, Steve did the same.

"I mean, I- aren't you two like, like each other?" He asked "It's not that I don't like him, he just- he is friend with Dustin and he-" y/n stopped him.

"Steve, are you jealous?" She asked him seriously.

"What? No. I'm not. Well- maybe a little" he sighed. "he came out of nowhere and now Dustin talk about him all the time and you-"

"Steve calm down. I don't like him in this way. It's just platonic" she said at the same tone as he told her about him and Nancy. "And Dustin really like him. He is happy he has someone in high school. You know, you had never experienced it but when you nerd or freak or not fit anywhere, it's nice to have a friend like you. I'm sure Dustin still like you. But you really need to talk to him." She explained, she was like that too, years ago before she met Steve, so she knew what she was talking about.

But Steve was more focused on something else. Of course, he was glad, hearing that Dustin might still consider him as a friend. But there were other words It's just platonic, his heart almost exploded.

"I- I will talk to him. I don't know how yet, but I will figure it out" He said. "Gosh, I'm sorry for that. I really thought he might- you know" take my place. he didn't said that but it was in the back of his head the whole time.

"It's fine. And don't figure it out for too long, Steve. The longer you wait, the more complicated things become." she said with a little giggle.

"Right." he said under his breath, he didn't find it funny but she was joking with him again. It's a good sign, right?

The song came to an end and Steve reached to y/n's mp3 player "Can I?" He asked, she nodded her head and looked down at his hands. "I wish we had a longer loop" he said a he withdrew the tape.

"It's almost an hour" she said. "I wonder where you get that" she looked at him.

"I have my ways" he said. He didn't even remembered. He had it for so long, somewhere in his room. He left the short version that actually saved her in his car.

"You never liked this song" she told him. Of course she remembered too, every time she wanted to play it, he always said it was cheesy and shitty.

"Well- maybe it's a good reminder of old, good times?" he said. The song started playing again "All done." he smiled at her and stuff became awkward again, when he kept looking in her eyes for a few seconds too long.

"Guys! Come here for a second!" Lucas yelled from downstairs. Y/n and Steve broke eye contact and he cleaned his throat, then they just followed his voice, his definitely not happy voice.

They looked at chandelier. It was shining. "Like the Christmas lights" Nancy said as soon as she appeared with Robin next to Max.

"The Christmas lights?" Robin asked.

"When Will was in the Upside Down, the lights come to life." She explained, really short.

"Vecna is here. Just on the other side." Dustin said. Light turned off again.

"I think he left the room." Robin said.

"Can he hear us? Or see us?" Lucas asked, looking at Max, then y/n.

"Everyone, turn off your flashlights and spread out." Nancy said and everyone did as she said.

"Y/n, stay by my side" Steve ordered, but the girl was already on her way upstairs.

"I'm not a kid, Steve." she said "I will be alright." she also added and she put her headphones on properly. Steve sighed but went other way.

After a minute or two they all heard Robin "I got him!" she yelled. Everyone from theirs side of house started making their way to her. "I had him" She said when her light turned off again. They all were standing in one of the rooms downstairs.

When Steve's flashlight shined he kept it higher. "He's moving" He started going where the light showed him, he looked behind him just for a second, everyone was going behind him. He went upstairs when his light turned off too, again. "Shit. I lost him"

"No, you didn't." Y/n said as his opened the door to attic. All the lights were on there. Just a one light was there, in fact.

"I will go first" Steve said and he did that before y/n had any chance to went there.

"Hold on, guys. What's if it's trap? Guys?" Dustin asked but everyone was already there. Even Robin and her complain about going to attic in abandoned house.

When they got there, their flashlight were flashing much brighter than it normally would. The glass in the light bulb broke. But y/n felt something more. Her head was hurting. So bad, she thought she was going to faint.

She didn't said anything, she didn't even had time. Their flashlight broke and then there were silence. Pain stopped, like it was never really there.

"We should get out of there. Now." Robin said.

"She's right. C'mon" Dustin added.

And they did, they rushed to Steve's car to drive away.

a/n. Again! I'm sorry it took so long and holly molly, thank you all so so much for every like and respond on previous parts!!! I love you all so so much I almost cried when I saw it yesterday. Let me know what you think about it!!

Also, I used a song released in 2020 but it's suit and I love it. Idk how to add cool link, but it's call "Darlin' Darlin'" by The knee-Hi's.

Robin and Nancy ran into a school and quickly got into office.

"Jesus Christ, you scared me" Steve screamed at them. After a second, the group heard something outside. "Stay here" he said quiet this time, looking directly at y/n.

He took random lamp and got out of the room. The rest, of course, also did that. Nancy and Dustin had flashlights in their hands but they didn't dare to light anywhere but floor.

Everyone screamed when Lucas went out of the corridor.

"What's wrong with you!" Steve yelled at him "I could've killed you with this lamp! Don't sneak like that, Sinclair"

"Sorry!! Sorry! I was biking for god knows how long. Give me a second." He explained himself. Now, y/n noticed that he was out of breath and have sweat on his forehead. "Shit! Guys! We god a code red!"

"Sinclair, what are you talking about?" Steve asked, he was confused but all of them were, waiting for any explanation.

"Y/n, Dustin! I've been with Jason and the rest and they've gone totally off the rails. They want to capture Eddie and they think one of you two know where he is. I don't know why you, y/n but Andy said he saw you few days ago with him so they think you two are friend or something" He explained, when Andy told them that she was hanging out with Eddie, Lucas who know nothing thought he would laugh at him. "Anyway, you both are in terrible danger."

Cool, now I've Vecna and fucking basketball team on my tail. Y/n thought, that her life can't get any worst.

"Amazing! Amazing! How I am suppose to focus on saving whole world when some guys in tight shorts are looking for me?" Dustin commented.

Steve tapped his shoulder. "Let's go get somewhere else, huh?" he suggested "Nancy, can we go to yours and think about something there? My parents are home, there's no way I'm driving those kids directly to Jason" He pointed at y/n, Dustin and Lucas "and Robin is Robin" he said. They all knew she didn't had much money but they didn't talk about it, she didn't like to talk about it.

"Yeah, of course. Come on" she said and rushed out side and to the car. She, Robin, Dustin, Max and Lucas went to her car, while Steve and y/n to his BMW.

Of course it wasn't coincidence, Dustin pushed Max and Lucas into Nancy's car trying to get the other two to talk, especially after he heard that Eddie called Steve this asshole.

Steve started driving as y/n rested her head on the door and fasted her seatbelt. Steve looked over at her for a second.

"Hey, you seem tired, you can sleep, I will wake you up when we there." He suggested.

"No, I'm fine, thank you, Steve" she said. He thought she thanked him for a ride or proposition so he just nodded, but in reality she thanked him for all the good memories he gave her, after all. They weren't talking often, who knew if this wasn't their last conversation?

They got to Nancy's driveway soon after and Steve got out of the car as well as y/n, she did it a lot slower though.

Nancy's car was already there which meant that the girls with kids were already in basement. When Steve and y/n got there, they were reading some articles. Analyzing them, trying to understood.

Y/n sat on the couch beside Dustin and Steve took one of the articles and were walking with it around the room.

"Do you guys really understand something?" He asked, looking at his friends for any answers that he couldn't find.

"Pretty straightforward" Dustin said. Steve was about to said something probably rude, he was annoyed. "uh, uh, uh. Everyone Vecna has cursed has died, except for this old Victor Creel dude Nancy found. He's the only known survivor. So if he don't know how to beat this curse, then who? We just need to talk to him" He explained.

y/n sighed, it was seemed like there were no chance for her.

"That's assuming he was cursed, which we don't know." Steve said, he also didn't think it could work out "Straightforward, my ass. You know what, Henderson, a little humility now and then wouldn't hurt you."

Both sibling sighed "It's not a good time for arguments, Steve" y/n commented. "Maybe now no one is cursed but you never know when it's gonna happen so we should find solution as soon as possible" She said. Yeah, as soon as possible, preferably in the next twenty three hours.

"You're right, your brother is just annoying piece of sh-" before he had any chance to end this sentence, she send him death stare "sorry." he quickly said.

"Alright, if you don't mind, it's late and I didn't get a good sleep in like forty seven hours. I'm going to get some water and then you all better don't wake me up." y/n announced and got up to go to the kitchen.

She was friends with Nancy for long enough to know exactly where different stuff had place in her house. So she opened a cupboard next to the refrigerator and found aspirin. She took some in hope it would work this time. When she closed a cupboard again Dustin appeared next to her.

"Hey" he said

"Damn, Dustin, don't scare me like that" y/n looked at him, her face soften. How was she supposed to tell this little men that he's gonna lost his older sister in few hours?

"Why Eddie called Steve asshole? What does he know that I don't know? I thought we were telling each other everything!" He almost screamed. He was so frustrated because they really did told each other everything. But how y/n was supposed to tell him that right now if she knew Dustin would be furious with Steve and probably wouldn't want to talk to him. He would lost y/n and Steve, both of his siblings.

"I have no idea Dustin, maybe something happened in school earlier. Only Eddie know what he meant" y/n suggested. She was sure Dustin was also going to ask Eddie about it, so she just hoped he would come with some good excuse. "Come back down, we have monster to fight"

y/n smiled at him a little. She put her arm around her brother's shoulders and kissed his head as she led him to the stairs. Nancy was on a phone and everyone else were quiet. Two siblings were curious who was she calling now. It was almost middle of the night. Steve put his point finger to his lips to show y/n and Dustin to also be quiet. They sat back at their places on the couch and waited for her to end.

When she put the phone down she smiled and said "it worked!"

"What worked?" y/n asked.

"Well we need to talk to Victor, so I called someone and now, me and Robin are rock-star psychology students at the University of Notre Dame. I'm Ruth. She's Rose. On our way we are picking up our documents. But the point is.. we called Pennhurst Asylum, told them we'd like to speak with Creel for a thesis we're co-writing on paranoid schizophrenics, they didn't agreed but we landed a three o'clock with the director" She explained everything.

"So.. now all we have to do is charm him and convince him to let us talk to Victor?" Steve asked not fully sure about this plan and it was showing in his voice.

"Yes, but it's not your problem. He is a men and had two young and sexy students asking him for something? Come on, believe in us a little, Harrington" Robin looked at him, he raised his hands up without a word.

"So, we have plan. Can we go home then? I'm really tired and I wanna get some sleep." Y/n said.

"Yeah, I will drive you and Dustin. Max, Lucas you wanna go too?" Steve asked, looking at those two

"I really don't want to be around those trailers. Can I stay, Nancy?" She looked with hope at the older girl.

"Of course, you can Max. You too, Lucas. If you want" She gave younger girl nice smile.

"Yeah, I mean, Erica is going to kill me anyway" He said, he don't want to say it out laud, but he wanted to spend as much time as he could with Max.

"Okey, then we can go" Steve announced "I will just go to the toilet really quick. You two can wait in the car" He said and threw his keys at y/n. She catch it. They said their goodbyes. Maybe y/n hugged every single one of them a little too much.

-------------------

"Dustin, I need to tell you something, but you need to promise me not to tell anyone else." Y/n said. They were standing next to Steve's car and she was nervously playing with the keys he gave her.

Dustin looked at her, confused. Why she just randomly said something like that "Ok?" He said, but this answer wasn't enough for her "I promise" He added.

"I- Vecna- I think I got cursed." She finally said. Dustin looked at her. He needed more explanation. How he didn't notice? "I- I realized in the office. Max was reading those symptoms that Fred and Chrissy had before and- when I stopped on the way. You know, in school" Dustin nodded his head so she continued "I saw a grandfather clock- it looked so real and I couldn't look away, Dustin"

When she told him whole story they both had tears in their eyes. She knew that already but saying it out laud to her brother was something totally different. And Dustin? Oh boy, his sister. His own sister, who saved him so many times. In Upside down, when their parents were yelling at him for not doing dishes, when Steve was upset with him. That one time when she came to his school because some kids were rude to him. When he fell in playground and tore off his knee and was crying so, so much and she stuck a plaster on him. When she brought Steve home and he had friend he dreamed of because of her. His heart was ripped.

He pulled her in for a hug, which she gratefully gave back. They stood like that, Dustin was crying. He was sad and angry. Why didn't she said anything earlier?

"Hey, you two good?" Steve asked, curious when he was close to them. He didn't saw Dustin face, because it was buried in y/n's chest but it was obvious it wasn't happy hug.

y/n gave him his keys "yeah, we can go".

They got into the car, y/n beside Steve and Dustin in the back. It was quiet, tensed. In this total quietness Steve heard as Dustin sniffed.

"Ok, what's going on? You two think I didn't noticed? Dustin? What happened?" Steve shot with question, which made Dustin look over at y/n "Hallo??" he thought for a second. "Did someone get cursed by Vecna or what?" He asked as a joke, he wanted to make the air less heavy but when the siblings instead of laugh or even tell him to stop joking about it, looked down and stayed in silent, he knew. "y/n? Say something please.." He asked as worry washed over him, when she stayed silent again, he turned his head at her "Y/n! Can you once talk to me!" He was upset right now, he wanted to help, was tired, didn't sleep for two days and now it felt like his chest was about to explode.

"Yes, Steve! Someone got cursed! Now stop fucking yelling an me!" now her tears were also running down her cheeks. She was scared for her life, for Dustin well-being after what might happened and Steve screaming at her only added oil to fire.

"It's you, right?! Of course it's you! You had vision in school right? God, of course you had! Why you didn't tell us?!" Steve continued, Dustin also wanted him to stop but right now even he couldn't say anything.

"Because there's nothing more we can do! If girls will be in time then I'm surviving this shit and if they're not-" she couldn't end her sentence, she felt like something stuck in her throat.

"They- they will be on time. They have to, we are not letting anything happen to you. I am not letting anything happen to you." Steve calmed a little. Seeing her in that state. With tears on her cheeks, not able to talk - it was heartbreaking.

"Stop talk that shit right now" She said. How could he said something like that when he was the one who hurt her like that?

"It's not shit, I love-" He started, Dustin looked at him in hope that he would finally confess. Well, in fact, he wanted but y/n interrupted him.

"Stop it, right now! You know it's a fucking lie! Just like this fucking relationship!" She screamed at him, she didn't even realized what she just said in front of her younger brother.

"But it's not! It's the fucking truth. I love you!" He yelled. He had tears in his eyes, he almost didn't see the road because of that.

"No, you're not! It was just a fucking dare!" Y/n screamed. He almost crushed as he heard her said it out loud. He heard all the pain in her voice.

"What?" Dustin asked, from the backseat. He looked at y/n and dried tears on her cheeks and then at Steve and his teary eyes.

---

Steve and his friends were sitting around Caffe table at the party. He didn't even know whose house was that. There were a lot of bottles of alcohol and weed around. He just began his Sophomore year but when you were king Steve, you were getting invited even at Seniors parties. He had beer in his hand as he and his friends were playing truth or dare.

"Steve! Your turn." one of the guys said "truth or dare?" he asked with a smirk, already knowing what Steve was going to choose.

"Dare." few people clapped, others laughed.

"I dare you to.." the guy waited a second, even though he already knew his dare. Everyone in the room did. "..to somehow start dating y/n Henderson, from your history class" Steve was looking at him, wide eyes and his mouth slightly opened. Even more people started laughing, some of them told Steve they felt bad for him "I didn't finish. You have to date her for eight months. I was supposed to be a whole year, but I'm in a good mood."

"C'mon! Don't do that! It's impossible to pick her up. There's nothing I can talk about with her!" Steve complained. All he knew about y/n was that she was good at history. Just generally good at school.

"You know the rules! You know what losers have to do!" The guy responded

"Fine!" Steve said.

---

Steve drove his car with y/n on the passenger seat to the school. He parked at his usual place, everyone knew it was only his place. He got out of the BMW and rushed to other side to open the door for his girlfriend. They smiled at each other as Steve put out his hand for her to grab as she was getting off the car, she happily accepted it.

He closed door when she was standing next to him and hand in hand they started walking to the building.

"Hey! Steve!" someone behind them yelled. They both turned around, it was the same guy that dared him. "you two are still... a thing?" he asked, acting surprised. Of course he knew they were still dating. Who in this school didn't know that king Steve had a girlfriend and who exactly she was?

"Yeah, we dating if you didn't noticed. Now, sorry but I want to walk my girlfriend to the class." Steve responded. He wasn't stupid, he knew that the guy wanted to tell y/n about this fucking dare. He wanted for a while because he was testing him about it all the time. Steve pulled her closer and started walking away from the guy.

"I'm surprised to be honest" He said behind her. Y/n stopped and turned around. She wasn't that shy anymore.

"What is your problem?" She asked

"Oh, my problem? I don't have any. I just thought it was a eight months long thing, right Stevie?" now more people were watching. It's high school, of course everyone was interested with drama, especially if it was about Steve and his girlfriend.

"Steve, what is he talking about?" y/n asked, realization was rushing over her. Why Steve just randomly came to her one day when he always ignored her?

He tried to pull her away but she wasn't giving up. Now that she knew there was something going on, she needed to know what exactly.

"Oh, nothing. Just the dare he is still doing. You have fun, right Steve?" He asked him "Dating poor girl. Look at her now, you only taking away her chances to get real boyfriend. She's probably good in bed. Maybe I can try?" He said and everyone around were saying something, quiet comments and laugh could be heard.

"Stop it right now!" Steve said loudly. He was so angry. He knew it was his mistake to take this dare, but it already happened. If only he could take back time, he would. It started with dare but he actually felt in love with his sweet y/n. He really wanted to tell her about it, but always was too scared. There was nothing in his life that the regrated more.

Now, his lovely girlfriend was running back to the exit, tears flowing out of her eyes like waterfalls. She felt so small when everyone was watching her right now. She put all of her in this relationship, she even brought Steve home to met her parents and brother, just to find out it was all a lie? How could he, her loving Steve, do something like that to her? To her little brother who found bestfriend in him?

He ran after her "y/n stop!" he yelled when they were far enough to talk without all the eyes on them

And she stopped, turned around to look in his eyes "Is it true?" She asked, Steve looked at his feet "Is it fucking true?" she yelled this time.

He finally looked at her, he really didn't want to say that but he could lie to her again "..yes" he admitted.

She baited her lips to stop the sobs she felt inside her. She nodded her head and turned around. She started walking home.

"Y/n, stop! I can explain! Please don't leave me!" Steve yelled after her. He was so frustrated and he felt awful. She didn't stop, she didn't do anything just like he didn't existed "It started with dare but- when I got to know you, y/n- when I got to know you everything changed. I really do love you!" He said but how could she believed him right now? He was perfect liar in her eyes.

She turned around for a second and got closer to him, their faces were almost touching "You better not break Dustin's heart, you got this?" She asked him

"y/n-"

"No, stop. He's good kid and he thinks you're a good friend and boyfriend. You better be at least one of those things" She said. He nodded his head. He would explain everything to her when she calmed down a little and they were going to be all fine again, right? "Good" she said and went into her direction. Steve was just standing at his spot, looking at her back and wishing he could do something.

---

"Stop the car." Dustin said, if only he knew what Steve did, he would never let him be around his sister again.

And Steve did stopped the car. Dustin got out and started walking home. Y/n sent Steve death stare and ran to Dustin. She hugged him. He was upset, angry. He felt like his sister was torturing herself just to make him happier and as he tried to get them back together, she always stayed quiet.

"Why didn't you tell me? I would stop hanging out with him" he was crying, as well as y/n and Steve in his car.

"That's exactly why I didn't tell you, Dustin. You love him and is a good friend for you. You weren't supposed to find out" she said quietly into his hair.

"I'm not five anymore. You don't need to take care of me all the time and looking for friends for me" Dustin said. He was right and she knew that but in her eyes, he was always going to be little brother.

"You are right, Dustin. But you know I won't let anything happen to you" and it hurt even more, knowing that there's only hours left.

-----------------

Y/n and Dustin finally got home. On foot. Dustin didn't want to leave y/n's room even for a second. This little guy, always with attitude and sassy, couldn't stop crying. Y/n sat with him on her bed for long time before he finally become too tired and fell asleep. They sun was already perking though the curtains when the girl came out of his tight embrace.

She sat at her desk and got some clean sheets. She looked over her brother and started writing. She wrote letters for everyone. Her mom, dad, grandma, all her friends: Robin, Max, Mike, Lucas, Will, Eleven. She felt so responsible for those kids, as they were her sibling too.

There were only two people left. Dustin and Steve. She started with the one for Dustin. Her eyes become teary again. God, she wasn't ready for that. But she finally did it.

Now, the last one. She started writing. Version one, then two, then three. All of them were shitty. She didn't know what to say. She wanted to forgave him but she didn't know how to do that. But after so many failed tries, she decided to just write what she felt. She told him how much she hate him after what he did because she couldn't stop loving him. She told him about her fear that he had feelings for her best friend Nancy, again. She told him everything.

He looked over at Dustin, he was still sleeping on her bed, peacefully. She moved his backpack and walky-talky to gave him more space and then put her shoes on. Without thinking twice she left house.

Life on the steeds of Hawkins were going normally. It was already around 11am and people were driving to work, some elders were walking around, cafes were full of the costumers. Everything seemed so normal, just like she was going to life because have she could die when the sky looked so pretty that day and people were smiling at her.

The only different thing was the ticking close all the way. She was trying to ignore that.

After long walk with her tote bag, where she put the letters she finally made it to Steve's house. She knocked at the door. He opened faster than she thought he would.

"Y/n" He said surprised. "What- What are you doing here? I thought you-" you didn't want to talk to me. He didn't had guts to say it out loud. He was happy to see her even thought she seemed like the most tired person in the world. He didn't look any better.

"I- I want you to give those everyone. You know, when I- I didn't want to gave them to Dustin. He is terrified." He said as she took the letters out of her bag.

Steve looked at them, few envelopes with names on them. The first one was Steve.

"Y/n, Nancy and Robin probably already talking with this guy. You're- you're gonna be fine." Steve said. Maybe he just had argument with her and he knew exactly she was angry at him, but she came to him. Wrote him a letter. It was hard relationship, they were arguing but then came to each other. There still were some burning feeling inside them.

"I- We don't know that. I'm just asking you to give them to everyone. Just in case." She said, she had tears in her eyes again and she felt so weak, pathetic. All she was doing was crying.

Steve noticed so he pulled her in for a hug. He knew how she felt. She'd never been a one to cry in front of the others and lately she was crying all the time, in front of Dustin and Steve.

"Fine, if anything happen, I will give it to everyone. I promise." He whispered into her hair. "-but nothing is gonna happen" he added quickly.

"Thanks, Steve" she said. She needed some comforting words, even if she knew they weren't going to change anything. "About what happened in the car- I'm sorry. It just all overwhelmed me and I don't why I said that stuff when Dustin was there. Please, talk to him. He can't lost both of us" She said.

"No" Steve responded. Sky got darker, clock louder. "He don't deserve anything. As well as you. You both are nothing"

y/n wanted to pull away from him, but he only held her tighter. "Steve, let me go" she said.

"Oh, y/n, you really think some stupid letters are going to fix it? You've broken everything. Your time is almost to an end. " He looked up, and the creature in front of her, was definitely not Steve. She screamed and fell on the grass behind her.

And sky was blue again, Steve on one of his knees beside her "Hey, hey! Are you good? It was vision, right?" He asked, he was as terrified as she was. Y/n nodded her head.

"I- I should go before Dustin wakes up" She said.

"I will drive you" Steve suggested as he helped her stand up.

"No, the walk will be good for me"

"We will be there faster if you let me drive you" Steve said. He was right so she quietly agree. He got into house again just to grab his keys and put letters on the table. Then both of them got into the car.

Steve started driving. "Hey, can I ask you something?" he asked suddenly. Y/n looked over at him, giving him quiet permission. "What-" He though about it for a second, he wanted to choose right words. "What was that vision about?"

She looked down, playing with her fingers. Steve looked at her "sorry, I shouldn't have asked abo-"

She cut him of "no it's fine, it's fine. It's just- it was scary Steve, the sky got dark as it was some storm and this god damn clock started ticking lauder and you- you said some mean stuff. About Dustin. and me" she explained. He looked over her with apologizing eyes. Of course he would never said rude things about his favorite siblings but he saw how hurt she was.

"I'm sorry for that. I'm sorry you need to see and hear those things" He said.

"stop" she said quietly. she didn't want to argue again, neither did he so he just nodded his head. But she really appreciate his words.

Meanwhile, Dustin wake up in her sister's bed because of Robin voice from walky-talky. "Hallo?? Someone copy?" She said, probably again because she sounds annoyed.

Dustin quickly got out of bed, in his still sleepy state he didn't even noticed y/n weren't around. Honestly, for few seconds he didn't know where he was. "yes! yes, I'm here. Do you know how to take that curse?" He asked.

"Finally, Henderson! I thought you were sleeping. It's like 1 pm" she said "but, yes, we think we do! thank to my amazing persuasion skills"

"Then how?" He asked as he looked around the room finally. He finally noticed he was all alone. He quickly left the room and started looking around whole house for y/n.

"Meet us at Wheelers, it's long story to tell" She said. y/n had some time left right? He would find her, go meet girls and everything would be fine. So he said they would be there soon. When he was in the kitchen he noticed Steve's car outside. He quickly got to the porch.

"What are you doing in here? And why you talking with him, y/n?" young boy asked angrily. Y/n knew it would end up like that.

"Dustin, it's fine, he just drove me." she quickly said.

"If you are here already, you are going to drive us to Nancy's house. They know how to take of that damn curse." Dustin said looking at Steve. Even though young boy had so much attuite Steve couldn't be happier right now. That meant y/n was safe.

"Of course, just get in." He responded, with a smile. God, he felt like huge weight was taken off his shoulders.

"I just need to go to the bathroom. I will be back in a second" y/n said and she rushed to the door. She tried to stay calm, but she also started to see hope.

She did her business and stated washing her hands.

Then, she heard Dustin as he said "I bet this time with her was torture"

"Yeah man, you don't even know" Steve responded and chucked.

"C'mon y/n, open the door" Dustin said, as he knocked loudly.

She looked at the window. It was dark outside, again.

She didn't know why, but she opened those door, more scared than ever before.

Only Steve was standing there. "You thought I really loved you, huh? You were so stupid. So unlovable. I was ashamed when I was walking with you around the school" He said, looking in her eyes. "You were so easy to manipulate. Just like your grandpa manipulated you when you were child? Do you remember how he used to play with you?"

"No, no. stop" she begged. Oh how much she wished to forgot that all.

"you do remember that right? That's why you didn't let me touch you for months in our relationship" He said "remember how you wanted to kill yourself. You were so young, right? But now I'm here. To end your suffering, once and for all."

"No, no please" She closed her eyes, maybe it would all go away. Just like when she was next to Steve's house.

But when she opened it again, It was Vecna standing in front of her. "It is time, y/n" he said "time for you, to join me"

She somehow passed him at the door and started running.

"That's it, she's taking too long." Steve said. He and Dustin were already sitting in the car so he got out and rushed to door. When he knocked at the door, and y/n didn't responded, he yelled "Y/n! Are you there? We need to go!" He knocked again. And when she didn't even said anything, he knew something was wrong. " Alright, I'm coming in"

And he did. He hit the door with his shoulder few times and door finally opened. "y/n? y/n!" She looked at her, shook her body, She was unresponsive. Her eyes were white. He screamed her name so, so loud. When Dustin heard it, he ran to them with his walky-talky.

"What's happening?" He asked, he was scared, Steve was scared.

"I- I don't know. Call Nancy and Robin. Tell them they need to tell you right fucking now how to take off this fucking curse" Steve yelled. They both were yelling right now

Dustin nodded and click something on his walky-talky. "Robin! Robin! Do you copy? Robin, please!" He had tears in is eyes, It couldn't happened.

Y/n finally didn't saw Vecna so she stopped for a second to catch her breath. She ran so far, she was already in the wood, not in the bathroom of her lovely house.

"You can't hide from me, y/n" He said as he appeared between some trees.

"Robin! Hallo, this is code red! Respond, please!" Dustin was still trying.

Robin finally answered. Already scared by the way Dustin was trying to get her to respond "Dustin? What's happening? Did someone got hurt?" She asked.

Before young boy had any chance to say something, Steve yelled "Robin! Y/n- She's- She's cursed. What we suppose to do? Please" He sobbed at the end of his sentence. He thought everything was going into good direction, but there he was, shaking his y/n as it was his life depended on it.

"What? But she didn't-" she started, surprised.

"Robin! What the hell we need to do?! Just tell us!" Dustin interrupted her this time.

"Dustin! Steve!" y/n screamed. "Help me!" She lost Vecna again but when she turned around she saw red fog coming into her direction.

It was pulling her in, inviting her to come closer. So she did. she saw lightning and heard that gooddamn clock as well as thunders. But she was coming closer and closer. She heard some creatures chittering, she looked behind her, but there was just the same fog. So she got farther ahead.

She was standing on wet floor. The trees disappeared but something high was growing out at their places. It scared her even more but she couldn't stop walking into this direction.

"Music! Play her favorite song!" Robin yelled on the other side of Dustin's walky-talky

"song?" Steve asked confused. Of course he knew y/n's favorite song. She always made him listen to it in the car. He thought it was cheesy, a little bit too cheesy, but it was making his girlfriend happy. So even now, months after they broke up, he kept this cassette in his car and listened to it when he missed her too much (which was quite often).

"Yeah song! Do you know what's her favorite?" She asked

"Yeah, I have cassette in the car. Dustin, stay here." He said, he ran to his car, faster than ever. He knew she still had her cassette player in his room, loud enough to be heard in bathroom. She told him she can't imagine her room without and when it once broke, she broke the college piggy bank to buy a new one.

He found it quickly and ran back. He got into her room and stopped for a second. Just for a split second to look around. It looked so different. He finally clicked play and turn the volume all the way up. He heard this sweet melody and rushed to bathroom again.

Y/n was now walking around. She was too scared to run. She looked around as Vecna was again talking to her. She saw that old clock, when she turned around, she saw Chrissy. She looked frightfully. Bloody face, body wrapped with something unhuman, her fingers broken in scarring way.

She took some steps back, just to hit Fred's body, looking the same. She let out a scream.

"Do you like them, y/n?" Vecna appeared behind her again, with the question. "would you like to join them?"

She started running again but he grabbed her with one of the tentacles. "fuck!" she yelled as she fall onto ground. "No, no no no!" she was screaming as it pulled her to one of those strange towers. It started choking her.

Then she heard song. Her favorite song. The hole appeared in the fog and she could saw Dustin and Steve, shaking her shoulders. "They won't help you" Vecna said "You belong here with me"

"You are not here" she said, with all of her strength.

"But I am, y/n" she put his hand on her face and it become even more painful.

The boys watched as she started levitating "No! No! No!" They both screamed "y/n c'mon"

Oh, darlin' won't you lay with me tonight?

Darlin', darlin' the last thing I need

She saw herself in her room, reading book. She heard something, or someone knocking at her window. She got up and looked through the curtain just to see Steve, sitting on a tree right next to her window. She opened it for him.

"Steve? What are you doing here? It's like 2 am" she said

"I missed you. Now, let me in before I fall and your dad would find me and hate me even more" He said. She moved and he got into the room. Pulling her in for a kiss.

"He doesn't hate you" she said

"He would if he find out I breaking into your room to sleep with you. Let's go lie down in the bed" he suggested. And they did. And the next morning Dustin found them tangled in sheets, they both needed to pay him to keep quiet.

I cannot leave without seeing you, please

So won't you hold me and tell me goodbye

The Henderson's were just leaving for a vacation on their summer break. They would leave town for a month and both y/n and Dustin seemed to can't let go their friends and boyfriend, for y/n.

"I love you" Steve said. As he hugged his girlfriend. Max and Lucas joined, so Mike and Dustin also did that. Now, it was big, group hug.

"We will miss you both" Max said, and everyone agreed.

"alright kids, we are not leaving for a life time! Come on! Fancy hotel is waiting for us!" Mr. Henderson yelled. They said they goodbyes once angin and Dustin with y/n sat in the backseats. They both waved at their friends. Y/n send Steve a kiss.

Before I ley here and shut my eyes

Darlin', Darlin', won't you kiss me on my head

Y/n groaned angrily. She was sitting in Steve's car. But this time on driver sit. He drove them on some wilderness where she couldn't hit practically anything.

"Come on, y/n! Just as I taught you. You can do this, sweetheart" Steve said

"No Steve, I have no idea how I passed this stupid exam." she looked at him "let's switch and drive home?" she gave him her best puppy eyes. How could he ever say no to her?

"How do you going to drive anyway when you so insecure about it?" he asked, even though he knew she was not going to start the car again today

"Well my, amazing, loving boyfriend can drive me everywhere, right?" She asked, with a huge smile. Steve just rolled his eyes but also chucked as he got out of the car.

Y/n did the same, really happily. They met in front of his BMW and he stopped for a second. "You are lucky that I love you" he said as he kissed her forehead. She smiled, even wider.

I'm laying patiently on our unmade bed

So won't you hold me and tell me goodbye

Before I lay here and shut my eyes

She didn't know how she managed to do that but she ripped one of Vecna's tentacle, the one that was holding her.

He let her go, she started running, faster than she ever did towards the hole where she saw Dustin and Steve.

She was closer and closer when some pieces started falling from above. She was trying her best to avoid them.

I said, darlin', darlin', darlin'

Won't you lay with me tonight

And while you're at it, please turn off the light

Steve was screaming at her, at this point he was saying everything that came to his mind. About his love for her, how sorry he was. Dustin wasn't even listening. He just cried and couldn't stop.

So won't you hold me and tell me goodbye

Before I lay here and shut my eyes

I'm leaving, I'm closing my eyes

Please come see me before I die.

The song came to and end. Before they had time to said anything, y/n started falling. Steve tried his best to caught her, so they both ended up on the bathroom floor. Y/n in his arms. As she tried to catch her breath. "Oh, my God" she said.

Dustin joined the hug, he was still crying. "You're safe, you're safe" Steve said quietly. Tears were running down his cheeks too.

"I thought I would lost you" Dustin said quietly. She put her hand in his hair, pulling him even closer.

Then, the rest of the group ran into the bathroom. Robin and Nancy with Lucas and Max behind them. "Oh, my god. What happened? How are you feeling?" Robin asked.

"I'm- I will be fine" she answered her after a second. Now, she was safe, right? She was safe in Steve's embrace.

She looked over at him, how worried he was. Maybe now, she saw something more than a boy who dated her as a dare.

Make it work this time, Steve. (part 1)

PLEASE DO NOT COPY.

It all started in high school. No one thought y/n Henderson and Steve Harrington would EVER date. How the hell king Steve would want to date this shy, quiet (kinda weird) girl. But there they were. Dating for almost two years. Since start of Sophomore year to half of a Senior.

While they were dating Steve became closer with her younger brother - Dustin and his kid-friends. Dustin loved y/n but even after she broke up with Steve, he still treated him like an older brother.

Now after graduation y/n was so happy that she didn't had to see Steve every single day.

That was until she left her room to get some snacks from kitchen and saw him standing in the middle of her living room. She looked at him, he looked at her.

"What are you doing in here?" Girl asked him. Her voice was cold and her face didn't show any emotions. Steve opened his mouth to say something but before he had any chance, Dustin ran into room with his backpack and walky-talky in hand.

"I'm ready, we can go!" He screamed looking at older boy. When he saw his face, he looked around the room and then noticed his older sister. "Y/n! I thought you were hanging out with Eddie" He said, clearly surprised by seeing her at home.

Steve was even more surprised. 'Like the freak Eddie???' he kept asking himself. He wasn't brave enough to ask her though.

"Yeah, no, I came back yesterday but you were already sleeping. He droved me, it was too scary to walk around his neighborhood alone at night." y/n explained. Now Steve was sure, the sibling were talking about Eddie the freak. But why girl like her would like to hang out with him??

Yeah, she used to be shy and a little bit of freak too. Maybe also not the prettiest girl. But now?? Now she was one of those heartbreaker girl that had half on the boys in Hawkins on their knees for her.

"Steve hallo?? Are you there? I asked you something" Dustin waved his hand in front of Steve's face, awaking him from his trance.

"Yeah, no actually no, what were you saying, again?" Steve asked, a little bit ashamed. Was he jealous? No, absolutely no. They broke up months ago, he didn't have rights.

"I asked if you are ready to go" Dustin repeated, clearly annoyed.

"Yeah. come on" Steve waved his hand at y/n, which she very much ignored, as she walked into to the kitchen to get her snacks. Steve and Dustin got into his car and he started driving to Family Video since his shift was about to start. Dustin, of course, wasn't going to rent a movie, he wanted to spent time with Steve, even if it's means that he would sit whole day somewhere in shop.

As soon as he fastened his seatbelt he started talking, "When are you going to tell her?" he started, looking at very confused boy beside him.

"Tell her what? And who is 'her'?" Steve asked, Dustin sighed. He just asked him the most obvious thing and he still didn't catch it?

"My sister, y/n Henderson, the girl you dated for almost two years just to break up because you both 'don't fell it anymore' that you still fell IT" Dustin was so frustrated when he was looking at his best friend and his heart eyes whenever he was looking at y/n.

Only if he knew the real reason of their break up.

Y/n really didn't want his brother to lost his friend after she noticed how good bond they had. Dustin wasn't the most out-going person so she just couldn't break that friendship. It was easier to tell Dustin and the rest of the group that they just fall out of love.

"Dustin, first of I don't need kid to give me advice about my relationships. And I don't love her anymore. We told you that already" Lie. Lie. Lie. Of course Steve loved her. He would ran into hell just to get her out.

"People who aren't in love don't get jealous over person hanging out with someone else" Dustin said, clearly having fun with messing with Steve's feelings.

"I wasn't jealous-" Dustin opened his mouth to say something but Steve didn't even let him "-anddd we are here. Get out of the car and stop this conversation." Steve quickly rush to the door to great Robin, Dustin (with his annoyed face) also said hey and they went with their day.

-----------------

Y/n just got dressed and was about to bring her plate back to the kitchen when someone knocked at the door. She opened it and saw Max. Panicked and out of breath.

"hey, are you okay?" girl asked, generally confused.

"Did you watch news?" Max quickly shoot her question.

"No..?" y/n responded "Max what had happened? Are you okay? Did someone hurt you? You can talk to me, you know that right?" she rescued younger girl. Max just shook your head and rushed inside.

"Chrissy. She was found dead in Eddie's trailer-" Max started but y/n interrupted her.

"What? Max, I'm not saying you are lying but are you sure? I was at Eddie's yesterday night and I'm sure she wasn't there and even more sure she wasn't dead. Besides, what Chrissy the cheerleader would be doing with Eddie the freak" she was trying to convince Max but she wasn't giving up.

"I'm sure, I'd heard nosiest yesterday night. Screams. It was after midnight." Max explained. Y/n realized she was home around 11pm but she couldn't believe Eddie was a killer. For sure, he was selling drugs and probably doing other illegal stuff but killing people was something totally differed. "and if we are thinking this way, what y/n 'heartbreaker' Henderson would be doing with Eddie the freak?" Red-haired girl asked. She didn't know y/n was hanging out with Eddie.

"I- I don't know, Max. There has to be some other explanation. Dustin played with him D&D and we catch up. I know him now and Dustin know him too. He is a little bit of freak but he wouldn't hurt a fly. I will call Dustin and Steve" Girl rushed to the phone, ready to call Family Video.

"No! Wait! After I saw them, something else had happened" She stopped for a second and y/n nodded her head, giving young girl her time. "the lights went off- I mean I know the power goes off at my place all the time but Eddie drove away from there so fast- with also isn't anything new- he was a maniac behind the wheel- but I started thinking. His face- he was terrified, y/n. Maybe because he just killed someone- or maybe- I don't know-"

"Or maybe he just saw something else killed her" y/n ended her sentence. She just nodded her head. Now, they both were confused. And scared. "Only Eddie know what happened" girl added "we should find him."

-----------------

When Max and y/n arrived at Family Video, Y/n stand at the counter, looking at Dustin.

"Dustin! We need to find Eddie, Now!" Girl said, boy was clearly confused, so Max explained him whole story and he rushed to the computer in seconds. Rubin and Steve, especially Steve, weren't too happy to mess up the busiest day for it, but they didn't have much to say.

"We will find his friends. Maybe someone will help" Dustin said. It took him second but there were a lot of numbers. While Y/n, Max, Dustin and Robin were calling differed people Steve was still serving the costumers.

"The Shining, if it's as scary as you said maybe you should come watch it with me. So I would feel safer with guy like you" Young girl said, looking at Steve with doe eyes.

"Yeah, I don't think so. I'm sorry I'm really busy lately" He said, with the nicest smile he could come with when he was uncomfortable.

"It's fine, don't worry" Girl left, with a VHS, knowing she wasn't going to watch it. She just wanted to shoot her shot with Steve.

The boy looked over at y/n in hope, that she noticed how he just turned down another girl because of her. Nope, she seemed very busy with the phone.

"hey, I might have a lead" Max said as she put phone down. She got everyone attention. "Eddie gets drugs from a guy named Reefer Rick and he crashed sometimes at his. But no one know where he life anndddd what his actual name is." She said and she pursed her lips. Maybe she found something but it was nothing.

"The cops know" Steve said "I mean, he is drug dealer, he for sure had been busted so he is in the system"

"Really Steve? Your suggestion is to ask cops? Yeah, 'hi, we are trying to hide someone you looking for but we need his address, can you give it to us?' Best idea you'd ever had" Y/n said, she didn't want to argue with him in front of everyone but she saw how Steve clearly didn't want to help. They were still a team, right? People in teams always help each other.

"You think Eddie's guilty, don't you?" Dustin asked him and y/n was really glad he did. At least, that meant she wasn't the only one pissed at Steve.

"I believe in innocent unlit proven guilty but we can't rule it out just because he is your new friend and your sister's new boyfriend" The words just flew out of him. Maybe he was a little bit of jealous but he didn't even know why. This Eddie guy just pissed him off.

"Stop it, Steve! It's not a good time for you and your scenes. We need to find him and how we suppose to do that if we know only his fucking name!" Y/n almost screamed at him, first time ever in front of their friends. Dustin and Max went quiet.

"Y/n! You are genius!" Robin said as she rushed to computer. Everyone looked at her in confusion.

They started to look through the list of Ricks. Twelve. It wasn't too much so they looked through the movies they rented to find something drug dealer likely. After some failed try the found Rick Lipton and his address. They knew it was near the Lovers lake so they rushed to Steve car to drive there.

----------------

Dustin was yelling at the door for someone to open when the rest were looking around the house. Y/n found the dump.

"you guys, maybe we should look somewhere there?" She pointed at it with her flashlight. They got in there, looking around they noticed someone for sure was there. There were opened cans and bottles.

It was a second when Eddie came out of nowhere and attacked Steve.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Eddie, Eddie, Eddie! It's me, Dustin! Stop!" He looked at him with panic, Max, y/n and Robin were standing behind him.

"This is Steve, he's not gonna hurt you" Y/n was trying to convince him to let Steve go.

"Y/n? Dustin? What are you doing in here?" Eddie asked, still unsure if he should let Steve go. He turned around a little bit, to look at others.

"We are trying to help you" Y/n said.

"Those are my friends, Robin form band" Dustin added, pointing at the girl behind him "and Max, she's never wants to play D&D. And Steve is y/n's ex-boyfriend"

"Oh, it's this asshole? Maybe I should-"

"No! Eddie stop, we are fine now" y/n interrupted him. She told him the real reason of their break up and told him not to mention it to Dustin, but here he was, almost telling him everything.

Dustin was confused but it wasn't time for that, he just did a mental note to ask about when things calm down. Eddie finally stepped away Dustin, Max and Robin went to talk to him while y/n put her hand on Steve's shoulder. She didn't know why, she just needed to. They were still a team, right?

"You good?" She asked, Steve was surprised. He didn't expect, hell he didn't dream about her caring for him ever again.

It took him moment to respond "Yeah, I'm sorry, and I'm sorry about what I said in Family Video, I didn't meant to make any scenes." He looked at the ground, he felt bad for his outburst of jealousy.

"Already happened, at least because of that we found him" y/n smiled at him. And it made his heart so, so happy, because it was probably first smile during last seven months she sent him. And of course, there were planty of times when she smiled at him but only because her brother or someone else was looking. Not just a pure, sincere smile like this one. He also smiled.

----------------

It took him a moment but Eddie finally explained group what had happened, well now Dustin needed to tell him about Upside Down and everything. He took it.. pretty well. For sure better than they thought he would.

They all agreed (even Steve) to help Eddie, so the next morning they went to his hiding place again, with some food and drinks.

Dustin told him the news while he was eating his food like crazy. Now, poor guy knew that police, and soon also people would start looking for him. Dustin and everyone one else were trying to tell him not to worry, but when they heard police car's near, they all knew they had a huge problem.

"Tarp. Tarp. Tarp." y/n kept saying and they were quick to move but the cars just passed by. They all sighed. "Shit."

"Eddie, you stay here. Steve, Robin, Max and y/n we going after them" Steve looked at Dustin confused, cops were everywhere lately, there was no reason to panic. "There was so many cars together. You think they drive because someone stole bubblegum from supermarket?" He asked and ran to the door.

They got into car and drove after police' cars, when they finally arrived and got out of the Steve's BMW they saw Nancy talking with police officer. It wasn't a good sign.

The officer was questioning her for almost half an hour and after that they all sat and talk about everything. The group told Nancy about Eddie and Nancy told them about Fred. They talked, had brainstorm.

They came to the conclusion to visit the shrink, Max saw Chrissy few weeks ago, leaving her office, who know, maybe she told her something that might help.

They were walking to the car when Nancy change direction.

"Hey, Nance! Where you going?" Steve asked, coming closer to her.

"I need to check something first" she said "I don't wanna waste your time. It's just shot in the dark."

"Are you crazy? Vecna is on the loose and you wanna fly solo? No way" They used to date before he dated y/n but right now, he cared for her just as a friend. He was sure about his feelings but someone in the group wasn't. "Only I can drive so Robin will go with you" he was right. I mean, Max and Dustin were just kids, Robin was too poor to get it and y/n, in fact, had her drive license but she wasn't driving. She didn't like it and Steve, of course, didn't forget about it so why would he do that to her? Besides, he send Robin because maybe if Dustin and Max leave at Ms. Kelly's office, he would have some time alone with y/n.

No one really questioned his plan, even if he did it just to spend literally few minutes with y/h/c girl beside him, it was in fact the smartest option.

----------------

Steve, y/n, Dustin and Max got to the Ms. Kelly's house. Max get out of the car, rushed to the door and when the lady opened the door, she got inside.

"She's in" Steve said.

"Okey, I'm going on a little walk" Dustin said and left the car quickly. Walk, my ass. Y/n thought. Of course she knew what her lovely brother was trying to do. Steve knew too.

It was quiet in the car for few second. It's been a long time since they were alone, together. And even if Steve wanted that, now he didn't know what to say.

"It's been a long time" He said. He didn't know what to add. Since they talk? Since she was nice to him? Since they break up? Since he was happy?

"Yeah" She said quietly. She didn't know if she wanted to talk to him. Of course she remembered all the good memories they had together but she also remembered what he had done to her.

"Y/n- I really don't wanna argue with you now and anytime. I want to talk to you about what had happened. About why-" She cut him off. Even if she wanted to talk, she didn't want to hear those lies again.

"Steve it just happens, there's nothing you can explain. I don't believe you and you know I have rights" and she really had. She had rights not to believe him and that was what hurt him the most. "I'm gonna check on Dustin" she get out of the car and went into direction when she thought Dustin was.

Steve looked over at her in the mirror and hit his head on the steering wheel. He was disappointed in himself.

He got out of the car and go to y/n. She was standing with her back to him and holding her head. Steve put his hand on her shoulder and asked "hey, everything alright?"

"Yeah, it's just my head hurts, I didn't slept well and now I see effects." She said and Steve went to the car to grab aspirin and then gave it to the girl.

"Here, I always have some in the car, I have a headache like ten times a day because of your brother and his friends" He chucked a little, making y/n also smile with the corner of her mouth.

"Thank you." She said and quickly took medicine.

Max run to the car and yelled for the rest. They got into car and Max said to go to the school.

"Well, to the school then." y/n supported Max

"Wait, are we breaking into school? Sick!" Dustin said.

-------------------

They arrived at school when Robin called them with walky-talky and gave Dustin some information about Vecna. However, totally nothing about taking off his curse.

"Yeah, cool but I don't really have time. We are breaking and entering school to retrieve confidential and extremely personal files. Get your asses over here." Dustin responded.

"wait, what? We left y'all just for two hours. I thought y/n was there to take care of you" Robin said

"y/n is here. She also wanted to come." Dustin explained. y/n wasn't the one to do stupid and irrational things. She was always responsive and mature, so breaking into school wasn't her kind of stuff.

The group was going after Max, Dustin also knew where the office was but Y/n and Steve weren't sure so they were at the back of this teil. School had changed since they graduated and be honest, they didn't want to remember that place. They were going though the corridor when y/n stopped. At first the group didn't notice because she was the last one.

She saw clock in the wall. It looked so real, so, so real but why the fuck old, grandfather clock ended up in the wall of Hawkins high school. It was ticking so loud. It felt like it was pulling her in. She was getting closer because she couldn't stop. "Y/n" she heard out of nowhere some creepy voice.

"Y/n, you coming?" Steve asked, when she didn't responded he got closer and shook her shoulder. Then she woke up.

"What? Yeah, I'm sorry. This aspirin just didn't help much." Girl said, practically she didn't lied because her head was still hurting.

"You two coming or not?" Dustin yelled, he and Max were already at the door to the office.

"Yeah, yeah" Steve said and they both run to them. Max opened the door with stolen key and they happily got inside.

As soon as y/n looked around she noticed a cabined signed graduates. They didn't had to open it, right? Her secret was safe but her heart was still beating with beating with lightning speed.

Max started looking though the files with actual students and she finally found Chrissy and Fred's names. She took them out and sat at the desk with them.

The group looked at the symptoms they both had:

-severe headaches

check

-nosebleed

y/n thought for a second. Well she had on right before Steve came to pick her and Dustin up to go to Eddie with food. She thought it was just tiredness.

check

-constant nightmares

it had been happening for a while, everyone had nightmares sometimes, right?

check

-past trauma

well... check

-visions

check

And that was when she realized. Maybe it was all coincidence or it was a fucking tiredness. But maybe.. it was her last day. She was terrified. What if she actually die? How could she leave her little brother? Traumatize him? Her friends? And Steve, even after she found out the truth? Was it going to hurt her when her bones start breaking? Or would she be already dead? Who is going to find her body?

There were so many questions in her head but she couldn't find a one, single answer.

"so how long it was since their first visions to.. you know?" y/n asked, at least maybe she would know how much time she had.

"no longer than twenty four hours" Max said, still looking a the papers "no one here had any vision, right?" she asked, calmly.

"No, of course no" Dustin said and Max looked at Steve.

"Why are you looking at me? If I did I would have said something" he told her.

Then she looked at y/n. Girl responded after a second "nope, no visions in here. And you?"

"We are all safe then" Max said with reassuring sigh.

"Yep, all safe" y/n said quietly.

All safe.

When Max starts getting those weird visions od grandfather clock and then Vecna she wanted to say goodbye. Just in case. She wrote letters for her family and friends. There was only one person, she wasn't able to give one of them to. Billy.

She asked - no- she told Steve to drive her to the cemetery. He couldn't say no so he, Max, Dustin, Lucas and y/n got in to car and then to parking lot close to this location.

Max asked group for some privacy so she go to Billy's grave alone. After few minutes Lucas started to worry.

"We should go check on her." He said already getting out of the car. Steve did the same to stop him. He saw how much poor guy was warried and he knew he needed to calm him down. Y/n and Dustin also go after them.

Standing next to the car door, Steve had his hand on the hood and he put the other one on Lucas shoulder and said "Look, I know you worry about her, but if you start panic, she probably also will. Calm down, give her few more minutes and then we will check."

Y/n sent him small smile from other side of the car and that calmed him a little. He let his hands fall to the sides of his body and nodded without more words.

Few minutes passed, and Lucas said "Alright, It's been four minutes, c'mon, we need to check on her."

Lucas didn't even look at y/n and Steve in front sits, he just got out of the car, Dustin ran after him with his backpack and walkie-talkie in hands.

Y/n looked at Steve, he seems like he didn't even heard Lucas. She shook his body. "Steve." He didn't respond. Girl tried harder and repeat his name louder. "Come on Steve, it's not a good time for joking."

What she didn't know, was that the boy also was getting visions. He saw clock and Vecna, his head was hurting all the time. He just didn't want to worry his girlfriend and friends. He saw that night in the mall.

*flashback*

Dustin, Steve, Robin, y/n and Erica were standing at the hill when Steve started running away. He screamed that he was going to help the rest of the group in mall. He was glad, that his girlfriend was there, save (if you can call any place in Hawkins safe).

Only if he knew, that the girl would run after him.

Steve realized he wasn't alone when he started the car and she was sitting beside him, it was too risky to sent girl back to Dustin, so he just let y/n come with him. Steve drove as fast as possible. "When we get there, stay by my side, all the time." Boy said stressed, he looked at the road ahead them, if only stones and grass could be called some kind of road.

Girl didn't even have a chance to get out of the car. When the couple were right next to the mall, Steve noticed Nancy with a gun, shooting at the car that was going to hit her. Behind her, was another car with Jonathan and kids inside.

Billy, was too close to Nancy, there was no way to escape for her and the other car that couldn't start. Steve looked over at y/n right before hitting Billy's car with all the power he could.

Nancy, and boys in the car were safe, but y/n was unconscious. Steve noticed a cut on her forehead. Her head hit the dashboard on impact.

"Steve!" Jonathan yelled from the car that finally started.

He got out of the car and took his girl to the trunk of the other car because his definitely wasn't able to use anymore.

He was holding the girl so close to his chest, tears in his eyes and dark scenario in his head. He just killed the love of his life.

"C'mon baby, wake up, wake up, we had plans remember? Come on, you were supposed to stay by my side, all good and alive, remember?" he was stroking her bloody cheek with his shaking hands.

Nancy looked at him from the front, she notice cut on y/n's forehead. She quickly take of her scarf and hand it to Lucas. "hold it to her cut." she instructed him, she knew that Steve was too upset to help her right now, when he probably had panic attack. Lucas was close enough to hold it in a right place. Everyone looked at her with worry, Steve still mumbled about his love for her and his plans for the future with her. He knew she wasn't able to hear it and the others in the car do but he didn't care.

He is not letting her die in his arms, because of something he did.

*end of flashback*

Maybe she didn't die, but he still blamed himself for all the pain she went through. And while girl screamed for him to wake up and come back to her, he saw her saying in his face that she wish she never met him.

He saw red and Vecna telling him, it was time for him. She cried so loud, that Dustin heard her. Even thought Max was levitating with her favorite song on headphones, young boy runed to the car as fast as he could.

When he saw his best friend standing in one place with his eyes somewhere in the back of his head and his girlfriend screaming, he knew immediately what was going on.

"his favorite song! His favorite song y/n!" He rushed to the car and got all the cassettes he found. "Which one is his favorite?!" Girl stared at him, confused so he quickly added "Y/n, there's no time for explanations! Just give me his favorite song before it's too late!"

They both started looking for something that might be his favorite. Y/n found cassette with only little heart in place where title of the song supposed to be.

She had no idea how he got it but somehow, she knew exactly which song was it. "this one". She handed Dustin cassette and he rushed to the car to put it in. He put a full volume so they could be sure, he heard that in the place he was already levitating.

Y/n heard her own voice.

*flashback*

"Oh, c'mon darling, you know how much I love when you singing to me! Plus, it's my favorite song! Let me record that for a cassette! I swear on Dustin, no one beside me and you in the car gonna hear it! Please, please, please!" Steve was begging his girlfriend.

He loved her voice more than everything so when he heard her singing Can't Take My Eyes off You by Frankie Valli in her own, a little bit slower way, he was ready to sell his soul for it. But y/n was still insecure about her singing and Steve was actually the only person in the world that ever heard her angelic voice. Oh, boy he felt like the luckiest men on earth.

"I don't know, Steve." Y/n said again.

It was always the answer for that question but Steve wasn't giving up. Everyone in the world could think that he was the worst boyfriend ever but he got his record. Y/n didn't know that he was recording her singing once in his room. He listened to it every time he was driving alone. At first, he felt kind of bad for doing it without permission but this feeling goes away after some time.

*end of flashback*

After Dustin realized who was singing, he was more than surprised but it wasn't time for questions. In the middle of the song, Steve was still levitating and Max with Lucas came back. They both were scared, red-haired girl was still shaking with her headphones on. They all were looking at Steve above their heads, y/n sobbing on her knees at this point. She was terrified of losing the love of her live.

Song was coming to an end and then Steve gasped, and fall on the ground. Y/n tried to catch him, he end up right in her arms. Dustin, Lucas and Max come to them and hugged him all together.

"Steve, you're fine, we're fine." Y/n said, not sure if she wanted to calm him down or herself. She was still holding him so tight while he tried to catch his breath. "God, Steve why didn't you told us you had had this visions too, I was so scared"

"I didn't want to worry you, I knew we would find a way and I would be fine" Boy said after a few seconds when he could finally breath normally.

"I know this is emotional moment and you almost just died but you so goddamn stupid, Steve" Dustin said from behind y/n, which actually reminded her that it wasn't just the two of them here.

"Shut up" Steve looked at his friend. "Let's get out of here" He stand up and goes to the car. The rest of the group did the same.

"You good?" Y/n looked at Max, she couldn't know the same thing happened to her, she just guessed by headphones on her ears.

"Been better but I will be fine" Max secured her.

"Keep this song played on the ride back home." Lucas said and as much as y/n wanted no one to hear it, it was the only way to keep Steve safe.

"I don't mind at all" Steve said looking at his girlfriend for permission to play the song again. He was ready to risk his life if only girl was uncomfortable with their friends hearing it. She just nodded so Steve played it again and started car.

"I didn't know you could sing like that, y/n" Dustin commented.

"Shut up" the couple said in the same time from front sits. Kids stayed quiet the whole ride. Dustin talked only when he was explaining how the thing with favorite song work. They arrived at Dustin house and the younger part of group left the car there. Steve and y/n looked at each others.

"I'm sorry for recording you, but hey! I'm alive because of it!" Steve said with a little smile. She couldn't be angry at him. She pulled him in for a kiss, which he quickly returned.

Before the kiss could turn into whole make out session girl pulled away and said quietly "Don't you dare hiding something like that ever again"

Their foreheads were still pressed together, his hands on her cheeks and hers on his wrists with soft music playing in the background. Tears starts building in her eyes again at the thought of losing her Steve. Before she had chance to blink them away, Steve was already wiping them off her cheeks with his thumps.

"I'm sorry sweetheart, we are both fine right now. You know, I saw you were so worried about Max I really didn't want to give you another reason. Plus, with you and those nerds I really feel safe if we are talking about this upside down thing." He said sweetly.

He totally understood why she was more upset than him. After all, even if it was traumatic, he was still grateful that it was him, not her.

"I love you so, so much Steve" she said looking at his eyes, those big, brown eyes.

"I love you y/n, more than you can imagine. You know, when you started the song, I saw all of ours moment and that's bring me back. Like Sundays mornings at yours or when we singing or our movie nights. Those are the best memories I have and those are all with you. You are saving me just by being with me."

They were about to kiss again, when Dustin knocked on car window. "I'm sorry to interrupt you but we have serial killer who is for sure not human on our teil, so it's definitely not a good time for car sex!"

They pulled away and get out of the car "do you even know what sex is you little piece of sh-" Y/n stopped Steve by hitting his side with her elbow.

Three of them got into house, they sat in Dustin's room, knowing well it was going to be a long night...

a/n. this is kinda chaotic but I wrote it when I was drunk and then just corrected mistakes (there were a lot more than now btw). Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it!

Last car ride

Summary: Steve and y/n need to say their last goodbye and it's much harder than both of them thought before.

Pairing: Steve Harrington x y/n

Warnings: kinda sad, my awful English

Word count: 1.1k

Steve and y/n had a relationship almost all teenagers could only dream about. They had been together since freshman year and now they were month after graduation. At that point, they were unseparable. Or at least that was what everyone thought.

One thing in their relationship they both loved the most were their night car rides. Since Steve got his driver license he was taking y/n almost every night to drive somewhere. They explored every single place in Hawkins, saw the most amazing sunsets and sunrises from the boy's car. Sometimes they just talk. Sometimes y/n cried because of the rude costumes she needed to handle even when she already had a terrible day. Sometimes Steve cried because Dustin and the rest of the group got on his nerves a little bit too much. Sometimes they were stargazing and y/n explained Steve where specific constellation was and even though poor guy had no idea what the girl was talking about, he just loved listen to her while she talked with so much passion. Sometimes they were having sex (also really passionate in Steve liking).

But they both knew tonight was different. Steve drove to their favorite place, near the forest. Usually the way was filled with talking laughing or even little stolen gazed. Tonight y/n was sitting straight, looking at the road as well as Steve. They both knew they needed to talk. But also none of them wanted to start this conversation.

Steve parked the car and looked over at the girl beside him.He signed as she was still staring at the trees ahead of them.The silence in the car terrifies both of them, but it's easier to deal with it than to say one word that would start the talk.

"Look y/n-" Steve finally said but when his pretty girl looked at him, he just didn't know what he wanted to say. They talked about the feature before, all the senior year they knew that they had totally different plans, but it was too hard to admit it. Maybe that was a bad decision because maybe if they did talk about this earlier, they wouldn't be here. But maybe they wanted to spend as much time as they could together before it's all broken.

"I know, Steve. I- I- I just want to go to college.And I want to leave Hawkins, all the shit that happened here. Will and El moved away and I want to do the same." Y/h/c girl finally admitted.

Steve wanted to keep her here with him, but he couldn't. He couldn't be that selfish, knowing how dangerous this town was. He wanted to keep her safe and if it meant the need to let her go - he would do that.

"I know, I really do and I understand your decision. But I just can't leave. I feel like this is my place on earth. Will and El moved but Dustin, Lucas and Max are still there. And it may sound ridiculous but they need someone to take care of them." Brown eyed boy put his hand on y/n thigh as he continued. "I love you, okay? And I probably always will but I can't leave with you." At that point, they were both crying, y/n connected her fingers with Steve's and played with them.

She didn't say anything, she didn't need to. They both knew what that meant.They just sat there for some time, which felt like long hours, when in reality it was just fifteen minutes.

"I'm not sure if I want to live without you." Y/n spoke again, she was scared to tell him that because even after those years together, she was still afraid to talk about her feelings - even with him.

"I'm so sure you should. Hell, you are so smart and talented, you will make whatever college you are going to get higher in rankings. And we both know how dangerous this place is, I can't even count how many times one of us was close to being dead.And I really don't want you to die." He squished a girl hand, as always when he wanted to tell her he was there. "Y/n, you were- you are the love of my life-"

"-stop." Before Steve could continue she started sobbing. She didn't want him to keep saying he love her. She knew that and it was making all of it so much harder. "Promise me you are not going to die." Maybe that sounded stupid but as y/n stared at her boyfriend's eyes with tears on her cheeks, he knew she was serious.

"I promise you that when you come here for Christmas, holidays or whenever you want I will still be here.Whenever you want to talk." The boy secured her.They knew damn well that letters existed and they could try long-distance relationships but it scared both of them. They just know how busy life gets in college, not to mention how busy it is when you fighting monsters.

"Okay" Girl slowly nodded, looking at her hands as she tried to calm down, she wasn't able to look at the boy besides her, knowing damn well that she would burn out in tears again at their second eyes meet.

"C'mon." Steve said after he looked at the sky ahead of them.He quickly step out of the car and go to the other side to open the door for girls.

The sky was too pretty and the stars look too lovely for that painful night.

He offered y/n his hand, she looked at it and after a moment grabbed it. He helped her to get on the hood of the car and then get on it himself. It was almost like every other night. Both of them again sitting on this stupid hood, Steve's hands behind y/n's back. They stared at the wide and almost black sky. It was so calm, even though it was still Hawkins.

For a moment, Steve felt like it was all normal again. That they were going to sit there for a while, then y/n would say that they need to come back because she had school the next day and they came back to this car in fourteen hours to drive somewhere again. And y/n felt the same way. Like he was going to drive her home and kiss her so passionately on her porch. Tears were slowly rolling down their cheeks but none of them said anything. They just tried to enjoy this moment, since it's probably their last car ride.

A/n. It's first time I public anything I wrote on the internet so I'm sorry if it's shitty. Feel free to comment. I hope you enjoyed it. ~ Nephi
