S2CH7: Mind Flayer

A/N: Yes, I know. seventh episode is "The Lost Sister" But there was really no scenes of the other guys. IT'S ALMOST THE END SO BUCKLE UP!

~~~~~~

"And, you're positive that was Dart?" asked Lucas. Since the encounter, the group started their trail of footsteps as they headed to the lab. After the scary incident, Max held onto Y/N's hand, from time to time giving it a squeeze.

The two were back to being close, even in just a few weeks it was like they knew eachother for years. The grass made it's satisfying noise of crunches as the group now started in a conversation, initiated by Lucas.

"Yes." Dustin replied as he turned to Lucas. "He had the same exact yellow pattern on his butt." He added making Y/N raise an eyebrow at him.

"Hold on." Y/N held a hand up as he spoke. "Since when were you interested at demobutts?" asked jokingly by Y/N who earned a playful slap on the arm by Max, making them both chuckle, Unaware of Lucas smirking.

"Oh yeah and wasn't he tiny two days ago?"

"Well, he molted three times already." answered Dustin.

"Malted?' The Harington boy asked, making Y/N kick the back of his knee, making him almost drop. Steve immediately got back up and turned to Y/N as he sent a hard glare at him. "Dude, What the fuck was that for?"

"Molted, you meant?" Y/N sarcastically corrected, making Steve turn back around in embarrassment. The rested of the group held and or stifle their laughter as Y/N playfully rolled his eyes at Max.

"Anyways." Dustin interrupted. "He sheds skin to make room for growth, like hornworms." He explained as they continued to walk their way in the woods. Y/N turned his flashlight around time to time.

"When is he gonna molt again?" Asked Max who unconsciously grasped onto Y/N's hand. He felt the warm and tingling sensation as he turned to the girl. The girl sent him a small smile but it was enough to give him this big feeling inside his stomach. Butterflies, or.... an Electricity of some sorts.

"It's gonna be soon." Replied Dustin as he took a deep sigh. "When he does, he'll be fully grown, or.... at least close to it." He added as he continued to lead the way. Y/N scoffed at the explanation. I mean, they were swarmed by like a ton of em, and they were HUGE. Nervous shivers were sent down his spine as he remembered Dustin saying It wasn't 'fully grown'.

Max felt the tension and she rubbed her thumb on the back of Y/N's hand, comforting him.

"Yeah, and he's gonna eat a lot more than just cats." Dustin added. Lucas's eyes widened as he charged to the front, stopping both Steve and Dustin, startling the rest.

"Wait, a cat?!" Lucas panically exclaimed. "Dart. ate. a. cat!?" He questioned. This caused Dustin to stammer his words as he can't decide either to tell his friend or let it go.

"No, What? psh No-"

"What are you talking about?" Steve cutted off. "He ate Mews."

"Mews?' Who's Mews?"

"It's Dustin's cat." Steve proudly answered making Y/N scoff. "Why won't you look at that!" Y/N teasingly exclaimed. "Steve actually knows something! Maybe those 'tutor' lessons with Nancy are paying off after all." He joked but Steve awkwardly stayed silent as Dustin's eyes widened. Y/N furrowed his eyebrows observing the scene, before scoffing.

"Akward...." He muttered under his breath but was cut off by Dustin's exclaim.

"You fucking snitch, Harington-"

"I knew it! You kept it him!" Lucas annoyingly exclaimed.

"No! No... No, I... No, I..." Dustin started stammering EVEN more as the rest of the group just stared at him, amusingly. Dustin let out a given up groan before speaking again. "He missed me. He wanted to come home-"
