Murray's!

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

This one-shot is set when Joyce and Hopper go to Murray's in season 3 but they have to stay over like Jancy in Season 2.  

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

Murray's POV.

"look you two it's getting late and we still don't have all the information we need so stay here there's a bed in the spare room" i said picking up my vodka bottle "we aren't together Murray, do you have another room?" Jim was infuriated but even Alexei who can't understand them thinks they are dating. "yes Jim in my study theres a pull out sofa but like i've said before lovebirds cut the horseshit and admit it" Joyce was the angry one this time "you think you have us worked out don't you?" she asked.

"see Joyce i don't think i have you worked out i know i do" i smiled and sat back down. "Joyce i know he's a brute and he probably reminds you of a bad relationship, and you would really like a nice man to settle down with but admit it your pretty curious to know what he's like in the sack" i said pointing at Jim who's jaw was dropped "oh and you your just a big man baby who would rather act tough than admit his true feelings because the last time you opened up you got hurt ouch." they both looked at me utterly shocked.

"so how did i do?" i asked taking a swig of vodka. Neither of them said anything they just looked clueless. "pretty well i guess if neither of you are talking" i laughed and explained to Alexei what had just happened with the lovebirds. They reminded me of how Nancy and Jonathan were when they first came to see me and now look at them they are happily together.

"Okay Alexei can take this couch and you two can take the spare room and study but i think you should cut the horseshit and share the damn bed" i got up and took my bottle of Vodka to bed with me, leaving Joyce, Jim and Alexei alone, even though Alexei was fast asleep.

Hopper's POV.

Murray had just left me and Joyce alone with sleeping Alexei. He had just tried to say me and Joyce had feelings for each other, which i denied even though it's true on my half. We now had to figure out sleeping arrangements. "look Hop you take the spare room and i'll take the pullout in the study" she said getting up to leave. "no way Joyce take the bed" she sighed "really Hop you are going to argue with me on this?" i smiled "yes i am so please just take the bed" she laughed "fine i'm not going to argue with you all night"

"okay then goodnight Joyce" i said leaving for the study "goodnight Hop" she said leaving for the spare bedroom. I set up the pullout and i lay in bed thinking about Murray's words. I did love Joyce he was sure right about that but there was no way she liked someone like me. Look at her then at me. She deserves better after what she's been through, right? I couldn't sleep i was thinking about her. Should i talk to her? I decided to get up for a beer or some kind of alcohol. 

Joyce's POV.

I walked into the spare room and lay down. All i could think about was what Murray said to me and Hop. I did love him that i was certain on but there was no way he could love me back after what i've been through. I had a whole lot of baggage that's for sure but he didn't need any extra he had his own and El. I couldn't sleep so i decided to get up for a smoke.

I walked out to the kitchen and sat at the table, the couch was my first option but Alexei was sleeping. I sat down and opened my pack of cigarettes and lit one. As i let out the first puff of smoke Hopper walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. "looking for beer?" i asked laughing. He sighed "yes but he only has vodka" i smiled "grab some glasses then and we'll drink" he looked at me confused "wait what?" i sighed "yes now hurry up i need a drink"

He grabbed some glasses and the bottle of vodka and sat at the table next to me. There was no mixers or anything to add to the vodka so we were drinking it straight. We sat at the table for ages and just talked, laughed and drank. The bottle was nearly 3/4 empty and it was 3am. We were both slurring. "hey let's ask each other questions" i said reaching for a swig of vodka "okay sure you ask me" he said taking the bottle from me.

"okay, are you in love currently?" i asked "yes i am" he said with no hesitation "oh okay ask me" i was upset really upset but he luckily didn't notice. "okay how about you are you in love?" he asked lighting a cigarette "yeah i am, who's the person you love?" i asked taking multiple swigs of vodka.

Hopper's POV.

Shit she asked who i love. It's her. "she has brown hair and bangs, brown eyes, brave, beautiful and she's named Joyce Byers" oh fuck i just said that didn't i. Damn vodka in my system. I have to say something "listen Joyce i'm sor-" she pulled me in for a kiss before i could even finish speaking. "i love you too Hop" she what! Holy Shit i didn't expect that.

Random POV.

They continued kissing and somehow both stumbled in to the guest room. They ended up making out and eventually fell to sleep between 4 and 5am.

Joyce's POV. 

I woke up in the arms of Hop at 10am. I could smell bacon and eggs from the kitchen. Shit Murray. "Hop wake up" i shook him and he woke up startled "what Joy what is it?" he looked concerned "you need to sneak to the study so Murray doesn't suspect anything" he sighed "fine i'll see you later" he kissed my cheek got changed and left. 

-----------------------------------------------Breakfast time--------------------------------------------------------------

Murray's POV.

Joyce and Jim think they are smart, sneaking Jim back into the study this morning. I notice everything that's something they don't know. They are very much like Nancy and Jonathan were last year, in fact these two are even more clueless. I put bacon and scrambled eggs on the table and called them to eat. I noticed a 3/4 empty bottle of Vodka on the table, i imagine they drank it last night.

Joyce's POV.

Murray called us to the table he sat at the head of the table, me and Hop were opposite eachother and Alexei was opposite Murray. We were eating the food in silence when Murray said "so Jim how was the pullout?" Hop spat out his drink and replied with "sorry what?" i was trying to hold in laughter "the sofa" murray said laughing "oh yeah it was great" hop said awkwardly. Murray definetly knew. 

"what did you think i was talking about Jim?" he asked eating his food "oh nothing i just didn't know what you were talking about" he said trying not to laugh "is he sure Joyce?" murray turned to me "i don't know, why would i?" Murray sighed "cut the shit i know what happened" me and Hop both started laughing. "told you lovebirds" i hit Murray's arm "oh shut up"
