Y/n's POV:

"It's like... It's like I feel what the shadow monster's feeling. See what he's seeing." Will said as Mike looked around. I sat beside Will with my arm around his shoulder. "Like in the Upside Down?" Mike asked. Mike came over and sat on the other side of Will.

"Some of him is there. But some of him is here, too." Will said. "Here, like, in this house?" Mike asked. "In this house and... in me. It's like... It's like he's reaching more into Hawkins more and more. And the more he spreads, the more connected to him I feel." Will said.

"And the more you see these now-memories." Mike said. "At first I just felt it in the back of my head. I didn't even really know it was there. It's like when you have a dream and you can't remember it unless you think really hard. It was like that. But now it's like... Now I remember. I remember all the time." Will said as more tears left his eyes. I wiped his tears but more just came out.

"Maybe... Maybe that's good." Mike said. "Good?" Will asked in disbelief. "Just think about it, Will. You're like a spy now. A superspy. Spying on the shadow monster. If you know what he's seeing and feeling... maybe that's how we can stop him. Maybe all of this is happening for a reason." Mike said.

"You really think so?" Will asked. "Yeah. Yeah, I really do." Mike said with a smile. Will looked over at his shadow monster drawing, me and Mike looking at it too.

"What if he figures out we're spying on him? What if he spies back?" Will asked with a sniffle. "He won't." Mike said. "How do you know?" Will asked. "We won't let him." I said, grabbing Wills hand.

                    ::MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT::

I woke up to Will slightly shaking in his sleep which made me sit up. Will woke up with a gasp, making me wrap my arms around him. Mike was sleeping on the ground and Mrs. Byers said it was fine if I slept with Will since she knew we wouldn't do anything.

"Will? What's wrong?" I asked as I held him. Will didn't say anything as he completely broke down in my arms. "Will..." I trailed off, in a sad tone. I stroked Wills hair and kissed his head as I held him tightly.

After a couple of minutes, Will calmed down, and was now sniffling slightly, while holding onto me. "I'm— I'm sorry." Will choked out. I looked at Will with furrowed eyebrows.

"Sorry? Why are you sorry?" I asked. "I woke you up." Will said in a sad tone as he fiddled with his sleeve. I weakly smiled at him. "I'm fine with you waking me up. Especially if I get to make sure that you're okay." I said. Will weakly smiled and looked up at me.

"I had a nightmare." Will finally said. I wiped the tears off of Wills cheeks and kissed his forehead. "Hey, hey... you know I would never let anyone or anything hurt you. It's okay, I'm here." I said.

Will nodded and kissed my cheek. "Can you... Can you cuddle me?" Will shyly asked. I smiled and nodded. We both lied back down, me wrapping one of my arms around him and the other playing with his soft hair. Soon enough, we both fell asleep.

                                 ::MORNING::

I woke up to Will gasping and sweating. I sat up and looked at him concerned. "Will, what's wrong?" Mike asked. Me and Will looked down at him. "It's Hopper... I think— I think he's in trouble." Will said. Me and Mike looked at each other with worried expressions as we all got up and went to the living room where Joyce was.
