Chapter 9: Hawkins permanently

a/n: I want to bleach my hair but I just dyed it black... what a struggle

~~

El, Will, and Pacey were walking around the town center before the Byers/Hoppers moved back to Indiana. El decided to give Pacey and Will some space today, she knew that they both had feelings for each other. It was painfully obvious and they are both oblivious. El had never had a one on one conversation with Pacey but he was definitely a smart ass.

"I'm a firm believer that doing the wrong thing is right." Pacey said as he walked next to Will, El dragging along behind them.

"That doesn't even make sense." Will chuckled. El shook her head at the two.

"You're just not mentally capacitated enough to understand my level of wit and humor."

"Or your humor is just not that funny." Will snapped back.

"Oh you wound me. I can't, i'm dead. El.... save me." Pacey was having a full on meltdown on the middle of the sidewalk, sprawling out on the concrete. El rolled her eyes and reached out a hand. Just as Pacey was about to grab she pulled her hand away. He gasped and put a hand to his chest.

"You two are ruthless. Just leave me here to die, i'll see you all in hell." Pacey said pouting on the ground. Will scoffed and helped Pacey off the ground.

"Come on dumbass, move it." Will said pushing him in front of the group.

"Dumbass? I'm not the one with the bowlcut here." He said crossing his arms. Will just rolled his eyes.

"Don't mind him, it's a sensitive subject." El said patting his back as she and Pacey laughed. Will was left there with a deep blush on his face.

"So El, how'd you and Mike meet?" El just looked at Will with wide eyes. She definitely couldn't tell him about her powers and Will's past.

"Ummm, I moved into town 2 years ago and I went to their school and he asked me to a dance and then he kissed me and we've been together ever since."

"So how long have you been together?"

"About a year and a half now."

"Wow, that's a long time. Wait I thought Will said that he's lived in Hawkins his whole life?" Pacey asked confused. The siblings looked at each other with wide eyes.

"Ok, this is a long story so get comfortable." El said as they pulled off to the side of the sidewalk and sat on a bench.

"So basically, when I was born my birth mother died and my father wasn't able to take care of me so I was adopted by this guy named Jim Hopper. We moved to Hawkins and he was good friends with Wills mom so I met Will, Mike, and our other friends and then he died in a fire about a year ago. So Will's mom took me in and then we moved here." El said basically all in one breath. Pacey looked at the two in shock.

"Holy shit, that's a lot."

"Yeah. Speaking of there's a reason we wanted to hang out today. Will, want to do the honors?" El looked at Will who had a nervous look on his face. She knew that he had been very nervous about telling Pacey they're moving since they've become such good "friends."

"Sure... so Pacey. Um, we're moving back to Hawkins." Pacey seemed to have no reaction.

"Ha that's super funny. You could've done better though." He said as he stood up and started to walk down the street again. Will and El got up and ran after him.

"Pace it's not a joke. We're really moving." Will said running after him. Pacey stopped abruptly and turned to face him. He seemed to be searching Will's face for any trace of seriousness.
