They Spend The Night Over For The First Time

Steve - Originally, you only intended for Steve to come over to yours watch some movies, have some snacks and then he'd go home. While your parents were technically out of town, you were still scared of them randomly popping home and catching you having a sleepover with some boy. Especially when they don't know that that boy is your boyfriend. However, it got dark fast and soon you could scarcely see your front garden from your window let alone look out to where Steve had parked his car. Deciding you didn't want to risk him driving home so late, you offered for him to spend the night. The two of you fell asleep of the sofa whilst watching the Karate Kid but not without Steve making some flirtatious remarks about other activities you could be doing.

Eddie - You had been in your room getting ready for bed when there was a sudden knocking at you window. Frustrated, you assumed it was just on the trees tapping on the glass but still you chose to check just in case it was some sort of monster or something. To your surprise you found Eddie perched in the tree by your window. You obviously let him only to be told that he needed a place to spend the night. Apparently Hellfire had run later than anticipated and his trailer was on the other side of Hawkins so he guessed it would be easier to crash somewhere nearby. You obviously agreed to let him stay which makes him do this little victory jump before giving you a kiss on the cheek and plopping himself onto your bed. Sighing you turned to lock the door, just to make sure that your mum didn't wander in halfway through the night and murder you for having a boy in your bed. A boy who was currently making himself perfectly at home, shrugging of his jackets, settings his rings on your bedside table and rearranging your pillows to what suited him. The bed you had was only a single so the two of you had to sleep practically on top of each other, though you weren't really complaining. On a whole you would recommend 10/10 and would definitely be doing it again (as soon as possible).

Max - Her mom was working nights and she didn't want to be alone so you kindly offered to let her sleep at yours. Both of you fell asleep during what had been you movie marathon, your Nintendo playing to itself on your lap as you'd fallen asleep midgame. You woke up to your sibling yelling you for using all the eggs to make midnight pancakes, leaving none for them to use for breakfast.

Peter - Something wrong happened in one of your fathers experiments with the kids so it was decided that you would stay overnight at the lab. You were supposed to sleep on the sofa in your dads office while he tended to the issue. However, the lab freaked you out with its weird cold feel and the random buzzing noises that would echo around you. Being the idiot that you were you wandered around the facility hoping to bump into Peter so that you could seek some comfort from him. When you finally found him he was shocked to see that you were still there but quickly ushered you back to your fathers office just to be safe. He sat with you while you tried to fall to sleep, arm around your shoulder and his hands soothingly stroking your arm. Within no time you'd fallen asleep. You looked so peaceful, it was a sight Peter wanted to cherish forever.

Robin - Both you and Robin had been working late at your respective jobs. You were supposed to drive Robin home however you couldn't be bothered to make the extra journey so suggested she stayed at yours instead. While you would've liked her first night over to be more exciting, you were both so tired that you both just fell asleep as soon as your bodies hit you bed.

Dustin - The two of you had spent the entire afternoon building a pillow fort and it seemed a shame to put it to waste. The two of you fell asleep in front of the tv, cuddled up with every pillow and blanket in the house.

Lucas - It took you months before Lucas was willing to even come over to your house let alone stay over. He was super keen on being respectful to you and the rules your parents had laid out for the two of you when they found out about your relationship. This included him not being welcome over to the house unless it was a supervised visit. You did manage to convince him to sneak over though and the two of you fell asleep on your bedroom floor as Lucas refused to go anywhere near the bed with you.

Will - It was a shock to you when Will invited you over to spend the night. He'd been so secretive about your relationship that you didn't know that his mom or siblings were aware of your existence. Either way he wanted you to stay with him and you certainly weren't going to pass up on the opportunity. The two of you were up late into the night talking about your childhoods and Will sharing funny stories about his friends back home. The two of you fell asleep on the sofa only to be woken up by Joyce who was just happy to see her son happy.

Mike - The two of you fell asleep after you had been attempting to learn how to play D&D from Mike. It was a complicated game to say the least and you eventually found yourself falling asleep on the sofa. You looked so peaceful so Mike just sort of left you, eventually falling asleep himself beside you.

Nancy - It was late and you were studying. The parents were out of town and to be honest you really wanted to have Nancy to yourself for the whole night so you purposely distracted her with revision until it was decidedly too late for her to head home herself. Your little scheme resulted in the two of you cozied up on your bed. Though little did you know, Nancy was aware of your scheme the whole time.

Jonathan - You'd gone over to have dinner with him and his family when a storm started. The rain was really bad and Joyce stated that it was simply too dangerous for you to drive home. While she had set out an air mattress for you on Jonathans bedroom floor, it wasn't used as the two of you were curled up together on his bed instead.
