Stranger Things Short Stories

First Date

Steve - For your first date Steve took you to the cinema to watch his favourite movie of all time, Back to the Future. The guy had gone on and on about this movie for weeks after he watched it and you couldn't deny the premise did grab your interest. Time travel? Magic cars? Hot actors? You were more than willing to go. The whole night was just lovely. Perfectly casual but still in a nice romantic kind of way. The whole movie Steve was excitedly whispering bits about the plot in your ear  which was adorable even though every fact he told you was incorrect. Once the movie was over, the two of you grabbed some milkshakes before Steve drove you home. After thanking him for such a good time, you gave him a kiss and went on your way. There definitely would be a second date.

Eddie - It wasn't really a date to begin with but things kinda just swerved in that direction. You had invited Eddie over to your house after school so you could help him prepare for an upcoming test. Despite his claims, you knew that he wanted to finish high school already so you were more than willing to help him. What started out as studying soon turned into a paper airplane making contest, seeing who could make the fastest plane and throw it the farthest from your bedroom window. You decided to make it interesting and have a bet of sorts. If Eddie won then you would have to go out and get burgers together, if you won Eddie would have to watch your favourite movie with you. Eddie won and he could clearly tell that you let him despite your protests over his victory. The two of you went out for the meal where he joked about it being a date and how dorky that would be. You laughed but told him you wouldn't mind going on a date with him. This caused him to freeze in an almost state of shock but he soon resumed to his normal goofy self except this time kinda more flirtatious in a way. The two of you left the diner holding hands, agreeing that you should definitely go on a date again.

Max - After weeks of talking with Max, she finally asks you out. You were excited and happy to realise that she felt the same way as you, even if Max's way of asking you out included her saying 'Come, or don't. I don't really care'. The two of you met up at the local arcade and played several rounds of various games. This obviously brought out both of your competitive natures which could've been bad but ended up making the night even more fun. The night ended with Max winning you this scary gnome statue thingy and you giving her a kiss in return. You would have to do this again though as she beat your best score on Pac-man.

Peter - You couldn't really go out on a date with Peter considering he was stuck in the lab. However, one day when you were sat in your dads office, Peter turned up with two sandwiches in his hands. The two of you sat on the floor of the office, eating sandwiches while you told him all about life outside the lab and how great it would be for him to be out sometime. He told he'd love to go outside but only if you were the one to show him around which obviously made you get all tingly and happy. The meal ended with you giving Peter a hug, which shocked him at first but he eventually reciprocated. You promised him that tomorrow you'd do this again but you'd bring the food. The labs sandwiches weren't that nice.

Robin - The two of you spent your night doing what you did best, making fun of complete strangers. Unfortunately your original date plans of the movies were ruined by Robin being called in to work a shift at the Video store lats minute. That didn't stop you though as you turned up, takeaway in hand and had a picnic with Robin in between her serving the customers. Every time a new person came into the store you'd make up little stories of their lives or guess which movie they were going to get. Overall, the night was pretty great especially when the store closed and the two of you dabbled in some kissing.

Dustin - Dustin invited you over to his house where he tried to explain the rules of D&D to you so that you could maybe join the Hellfire Club with him. This instead ended up with you giving up halfway through and instead spending the next few hours watching Dustin adorably rant over the subject. He did eventually realise your disinterest and so the two of you decided to watch tv for a bit while his mom made you something to eat.

Lucas - You and Lucas went to the arcade followed by a picnic at the junk yard. It was there he told you some crack head story of how monsters attacked him his friends there not long ago and how some guy named Steve Harrington saved them all. While the story was totally insane it was quite funny to listen to and the sandwiches he brought were also really nice which was a bonus. 

Will - The of you spent the entire night at his house painting. The two of you decided to set the challenge of painting each others portrait. Will's was absolutely incredible, and you couldn't help but marvel at how talented he was. You on the other simply drew a stick man with bowl cut. Nonetheless Will loved it and hung it up on his wall next to some pictures of his friends. Adamant that you can draw better, you invited him to come round your house next time so that you could show him some of your sketchbooks.

Mike - Mike took you to the snowball after getting rejected by El. While you weren't thrilled with being option 2 you still enjoyed the night. The music was good, the food was good and you guess Mike was pretty good too. It was a little awkward at the slow dancing part but other than that the night was a blast.

Nancy - The two of you were working late into the night editing the newspaper before it went  to print tomorrow morning. While it might not be a traditional sort of date, the night still was awesome and was filled with the two of you telling random stories to each other and making fun of your respective siblings. 

Jonathan - You and Jonathan went for a picnic in the woods after school on day. The whole walk there, he was busy taking pictures of everything around him including you. While you still weren't entirely used to getting your picture taken by him randomly, the thought of it did still made you feel very fluttery and he always managed to find a way to make you look good in the picture. Once you decided on a spot to eat at, the food was quickly demolished as you were starving form all the walking. The two of you did a bit of kissing for awhile before deciding to wander back home so you could help Jonathan develop the pictures he'd taken. It was there you agreed to have a second date and continued to make out some more.
