There’s a loud S M A C K !  as the weight of  Dustin’s research collides with the linoleum countertop. He’s painstakingly tagged pages of each book with paper clips, sticky notes, and dogeared corners to classify his data. “Okay, so paper clips-” he taps on the metal bookmark for illustration. “These are mathematical equations, numerical data, all of the technical information. Sticky notes are pictures. Y’know, visual evidence. And dog ears-” a page is flipped to the corresponding area, “That’s the good stuff.” 

“I had to ask Mr.Clarke for some extra help, but I don’t think he’s onto us yet. As far as he’s concerned, interdimensional portals are strictly hypothetical.”

“Goooooood morning good morning good morning, it’s time to rise and shine ! Good morning good morning good morning, I hope you’re feeling fine ! ” Dustin’s practically yodeling the lyrics to his mother’s favorite wakeup song as he stomps up the stairs to Steve’s room. It’s obnoxious, and rightfully so, he reasons. After all, it’s 3pm (on a Saturday, no less!) and they have movie plans. The curtains are balled up in his palms when Steve all but tackles him away from the windows. 

“Hangover must be a real bitch today, huh?” he chuckles. He’s not naive to his older friend’s extracurricular activities, but he’s also not about to let the consequences of Steve’s bad decisions ruin his day. “Slap on some sunnies and drink some water, buddy. We’ve got a date with Weird Science in half an hour.” 

@dartmouthed LIKED FOR VAMP STEVE.

Steve had been hiding out in his own home for weeks. It was kinda lame but it was all he had really. Ever since he survived that car accident awhile back, he hadn’t been himself and not just in the way one would expect post-car accident. His gums ached, his teeth felt weird and every time he looked in a mirror he could’ve sworn his damn canines had gotten an inch longer. Fuck.

His head pounded as he took yet another aspirin but they didn’t seem to do much. It was basically a placebo at this point. Deciding to lay down, he returned to his room and pulled the covers over his head and drifted off.

What seemed like only minutes but was really hours, Steve’s slumber was aroused by the sounds of footsteps. At first he assumed it was his mom or dad coming up the stairs but it wasn’t. The sound of Dustin’s voice filled his ears and before he knew it, the kid was headed towards the curtains. Steve shot out of bed with panic stricken eyes. “Don’t!” His voice blurted out. “Don’t open the curtains, Dustin, please, I’m begging you.”

@kingstevetm / I’m sorry I had to

“So then I pop the clutch, right?” Green eyed gaze is focused on the steering wheel, hands carefully placed at 10 and 2. 

This is easy, he thinks. If Lucas can do it, so can I. 

His friend had proudly boasted to him earlier that week of his newfound skill, ( which he “mastered in a single afternoon!” ) and once again Dustin was left feeling like he’d fallen behind on adolescence. 

It was no fault of his own, in fact Claudia and Mark Henderson had promised time and time again that he’d be taught the intricacies of driving. They had the best of intentions, but his mother fell into a fit of anxiety every time he’d gotten behind the wheel, and Dad…well, he just wasn’t around much. That’s just how life was, at least since he’d taken a job driving for a freighter company. Mr. Henderson worked odd hours, often returning home after long trips to fall asleep on the sofa, too exhausted for much else. It kept them afloat, but family time was mostly Dustin and his mother. 

So of course, with Lucas’ success being the catalyst fueling Dustin’s need to grow up, he’d approached the next best thing: Steve Harrington. He looks over to his brother figure now with a bemused smirk. 

“I don’t want the engine to make that sound again.”
