Stancy Imagines (Stranger Things 4)

The Babysitters

(A/N: Jonathan and Nancy are broken up in this reality) 

Third Person Point of View

"Honestly going to see if the lab is truly abandoned does not sound like a four person job." Robin shrugs her shoulders, glancing over to Eddie. 

Eddie leans back on his heels, looking around the living room of the Wheeler household. "I'd have to agree Robin, seems like a three, maybe even a two person job." 

Steve grows slightly agitated, because he had a felling he knew what task he would be faced with, more accurately what role he would assume. He sucks in a breath, and releases it with annoyance, glancing over at Nancy, who flashes him a sympathetic look in return. 

"I think you and I should at least be two of the people to go Eddie," Robin smiles at him, "Since we haven't gotten in on the action as much as this bunch as over the years." She gestures over to Max, Lucas, Dustin and Erica who were all kicking back on couches and chairs in the living room. 

"I don't think it matters which of you go," Erica smirks, "because none of you will be able to figure shit out without getting caught." 

"Erica!" Lucas smacks the side of her arm, "Do you have to be so rude all  the time?" Lucas emphasizes the word "all" which makes his frustration apparent to the group.

"Just the facts." She shrugs, unbothered. 

Unbeknownst to Nancy and Steve, Dustin had devised a devious plan to get the two of them alone together, so they would simply admit that they still feel love for each other. The entire gang decided that it was painful to watch them pretend like they're not still in love, and since Jonathan had broken up with Nancy almost two months ago, it was time to get Steve and Nancy back together. 

Robin and Eddie would invite Nancy to go with them to investigate the lab, but it is more than likely that Nancy would decline this offer to stay back with Steve. Once Eddie and Robin have left, Dustin will take the rest of the gang downstairs to play d&d... which will take hours, if not all night. This leaves Nancy and Steve to be alone together and realize that it is pointless to hide their feelings any longer. 

"Nancy," Robin nudges Nancys shoulder, slightly throwing her off balance, "How about you come with us, and Steve can stay behind with the kids." 

"We're not kids anymore." Max rolls her eyes, putting her headphones back over her ears, and pressing play. 

Robin ignores this, and flashes Nancy a questioning look. A sigh can be heard leaving Steve's lips, as he leans back onto the couch in an agitated manner. 

Nancy's Point of View

"You know what..." I look over to Steve laying back on the couch with his hands over is face, I don't want him to have to sit here alone and babysit again, especially after I already left him out of investigating Victor. It also wouldn't be particularly terrible to spend some time with him, even if the other kids are all around and bothering us, "I'll stay here. I'll co-babysit with Steve." 

"Really?" Steve sits up, looking me in the eye. God, he looks so handsome tonight. The way his polo tee hugs his body, and how his hair is slightly awry... his blue jeans are slightly baggy, but tight enough to show off the muscle in his legs. As his brown eyes lock with mine, I know I'm making the right decision staying behind. I want to be alone with him. 

"Yes, of course." I smile, looking back into his eyes as he stares into mine, "we can watch a movie or something." 

After I say this, Steve seems a lot more okay with being the babysitter. I get the feeling sometimes that he might still feel something for me, like how I feel something for him. To be completely honest, I don't think I ever stopped. I've never felt love for someone like I do for Steve, which sounds really terrible if you think about how I was with Jonathan for so long. He made me happy, but he also made me realize that I still loved Steve, that I may love Steve more than him.
