(y/n) - your name

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

"Max!? What are you doing here!? Why did you bring her here!?" (y/n) yells out to Lucas and he jumps, rubbing his neck bashfully.

"She wanted to come when I told her you were helping..."

"You what!?" (y/n) went full mama protective mode as Lucas and Max walked over to her and the two other numbskulls behind her.

"I want to help. I'm not hiding away while you risk yourself against a demon." Max huffs out and (y/n) just sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose.

"You stubborn little shit..." (y/n) chuckles as she pulls Max in to hug her, the redhead squeezing her back. "Have you told your brother though? I asked him to look for you..." Max freezes in fear, shaking her head.

"Shit..."

"I'll deal with him when we see him ok." Max nods and helps (y/n) and Steve with building a trap while the two little boys hid behind a car arguing, Dustin mad that Lucas told Max and Lucas mad at Dustin that he told (y/n). But the two agreed they needed the extra help.

"Hey! Dickheads! How come the only oneshelping me out are the girls?" Steve yells out and the boys jump.

"We lose light like in 40 minutes so get your asses moving!" (y/n) calls out.

"Yes Ma'am!" the boys salute her and run around, finally helping.

"Damn, they really are scared of you." Max chuckles and (y/n) grins.

"As they should be."

The two adults and the three kids all start moving scrap metal and barrels around the junkyard, helping each other set up the trap. (y/n) spilled oil from the pile of meat, walking backwards to the bus behind her. The others covered up all the holes in the bus using the scrap metal and tyres. It got dark quickly and everyone huddled up in the bus, Steve taking one last look around before shutting the door.

"Everyone good?" (y/n) whispers and everyone nods. Lucas climbs up the ladders to the escape route on the roof of the bus, using his binoculars to find Dart. Steve was playing with his lighter, Max and (y/n) sitting next to each other as Max laid her head against (y/n)'s shoulder.

"So you really foughtone of these things before?" Max asks and Steve nods. "And you're, like, totally,100% sure it wasn't a bear?"

"Shit. Don't be an idiot. Okay?It wasn't a bear." Dustin exclaims in annoyance, going off at Max about why she was here if she didn't believe him.

"Dustin, calm down. I didn't believe you until I saw physical proof of the skin and the hole ok. People are different. Some are just going to put faith in you, others need to see it with their eyes. So sit your ass down." (y/n) hisses out and Dustin glares at her before leaning against the wall of the bus away from the girls.

"Geesh. Someone's cranky.Past your bedtime?" Max hisses out, getting up to climb the ladder and hang out with Lucas since Dustin pissed her off.

"I'm sorry..." Dustin mumbles out.

"It's not me you should be apologising too." (y/n) says, leaning her head back as she listened to Max talk about her life and Billy.

"My stepbrother's always been a dick, he used to be so angry all the time but now... he seems nicer. I don't know he hated the move and our parents getting together but I don't think it bothers him too much."

"Why do you think that is?" Lucas asks.

"I think... I think it's because of (y/n). She has been helping us both even though she moved here after us, especially helping Billy. I think he likes her..." (y/n) freezes at that, sitting up and looking at Steve wondering if he heard that as well but he was too busy talking to Dustin.
