My best friend Steve(Steve Harrington x Male! Reader)

The fight

I went to all my classes as usual. The billy guy was there in most of them. He kept staring at me. I didn't pay any mind to it I just focused on my work. As I was about to leave 4th period my teacher stopped me. "Is everything alright, I've never seen you with a bloody bruised up face before" he asked. "Yeah everything's fine, got into a fight at a Halloween party but I handled it" I said. "alright just tell me if anythings wrong" he said. "I will bye Mr.Johnson" I said,walking out. I walked to my locker to grab my stuff. When I got to my locker Billy was leaning against it. "move it I've got classes to get to" I said. "I've been waiting for you,y/n is it? " He said. "Yeah that's me now move" I said, pushing him away from my locker and opening it. I tossed my stuff in and grabbed my other things for my next few classes. I felt Billy come up behind me. I grabbed a big and heavy text book then swung around and smacked him in the face with it. "Shouldn't have been in my way" I said,closing my locker with my foot. I walked away. I walked to Steve's locker. He was hanging around with a few guys. "Hey y/n" Steve said. "Hey" I said. "What's wrong" he asked. "That Billy guy won't stop staring at me and won't leave me alone, I did smack him in the face with a textbook though" I said. "Well good for you, you're finally starting to protect yourself more" Steve said. "Hey I did it before but I got beat up in the process most of the time" I said. "Yeah well look at what happened last night" Steve said, poking a spot on my face. "Ow hey" I said,grabbing his hand. "Look at least I'm standing up for myself" I said. "Yeah that's good" Steve said. "Figured I'd find you with Harrington" I heard Billy say. "Billy fuck off" Steve said. "I'm not here for you 'king Steve' I'm here for the little rat next to you" he said. "What the fuck do you want from me, you got your fight yesterday ain't that enough for you" I said. "No because you won, I don't ever lose fights" he said. "Well then consider that your first loss" I said,pushing past him and trying to walk away. He grabbed my hair and pulled me back. "Hey let him go!" Steve yelled. "Stay out of it this ain't about you Harrington" Billy said pushing me into a locker. He punched my face a few times and I didn't do anything about it. I didn't care. "C'mon fight back little man" he said,punching me some more. "Stop it!" Steve yelled, running over. Suddenly I grabbed billy's shirt collar and pulled him down to face me. I headbutted him then kicked him in the stomach and let go of him. He groaned and fell back. "What's going on over here" a teacher said running over. Steve and his friends told her what happened and we all got sent to the office. "Kid we called your parents but didn't get a response" a lady said to me. "Call Chief Hopper,my parents are missing" I said. She dialed him. "Hello this is the front desk at Hawkins High, Y/n L/n got into a fight and needs taken home, he said to call you" she said. "Mmm-hmm, no no he didn't start it he was just defending himself, alright I'll see you in a bit chief" she said then hung up. "He's on the way" she said to me. Steve walked out of the principals office. He sat next to me. "You get in trouble?" I asked. "Nope, just got asked to tell what happened, you?" He asked. "Nope, billy's the only one who got in trouble" I said. "You getting sent home?" he asked. "Yeah, just for today, Joyce is gonna flip when she sees me" I said. "Hey at least you didn't get in trouble and you technically won" Steve said. "Yeah, that's two losses for Billy, who apparently doesn't lose fights" I said with a chuckle. "And that's two wins for you, who usually does" Steve said with a chuckle. I laughed a little. Hopper walked in. They pulled him into the principals office really quick to tell him everything that happened. He walked out. "Bye y/n, I'll call you later" Steve said, giving me a small peck on the cheek while hopper wasn't looking. "Bye Steve" I said, before walking out with hopper. We walked to his van and hopped in. The drive home was pretty silent. "So why did this happen exactly" Hopper said,breaking the silence. "Probably because I knocked him out last night,guess he wasn't content with all the blood and bruises he already left on my face" I said. "Well you can't just beat him up" he said. "So what am I supposed to just sit there and let him beat the shit out of me until someone stops him?" I said. "Kid from what I was told you started it but the lady that called me said you didn't, what's going on here, tell me what happened starting with last night" he said. "Okay so I was at the party, I had a few too many to drink, I was staring into space but I guess I was staring at him, he walked over to me, beat the shit out of me, I swung one punch with these black squiggles up my arm then he was knocked out" I said, "then today he kept staring at me, I went to my locker and he was leaning up against it, I pushed him out of the way after telling him to move which he didn't, I got my stuff, he was about to do something I don't know what but he was really close behind me, closer than I'd like so I swung around and hit him with a text book, I ran off to find Steve, told him about it then Billy shows up again, I try to leave, he grabbed me by my hair and pushed me against a locker, punched me a few time while Steve was trying to get him to stop, so I headbutted him and kicked him in his stomach,then a teacher finally came by" I ramble. "Alright so basically he's your typical teenage punk" he said. "Yeah basically, also he said he doesn't lose but he just lost two fights back to back to me" I said. We pulled up to the byers house. "Oh she is going to kill me" I murmur, hopping out. "Relax she's just worried about you she won't do anything" hopper said, knocking on the door. Joyce opened it. "Hey hopper, y/n- oh my god! what happened?!" she exclaims, pushing past hopper and getting to me, seeing my bruised and bloody face. "I'll tell you when we get inside, just some asshole kid picking on him basically," Hopper said. We all walked inside. Hopper told her everything. "Well I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself, also I said no drinking last night" she said. "Someone spiked the punch I didn't know" I said. "Alrighty, well I guess I can't punish you for protecting yourself, but I do have a question, Will saw the upsidedown yesterday, did you see it too?" She asked. "Yeah I did, I can't remember much because of the alcohol, but I saw a giant thing, I didn't look like the drawing Will showed me but it could've been the same thing, the alcohol made it hard to tell what was going on, I do know I saw a storm a red one." I explain my whole thing. Hopper and Joyce looked at each other. "Kid I know you don't want to but, we should take you to the lab" Hopper said. "No" I said. "Why not they could help" Joyce said. "No they can't, they can't stop me from seeing it,they said Will's was flashbacks but then why am I seeing it, I've never been to the upsidedown,so why am I seeing it now" I said,"and I've seen the same stuff Will has on the same nights too,it doesn't add up, something else is going on" I said. "Well moving on, that tree you found there's more and it's not just trees either it's all sorts of crops" Hopper said. "Was there anything else abnormal going on" I asked. "I thought I heard growling but it was just one of the kids" hopper said. Growling. Rotting trees,crops,grass,being able to see the upsidedown,these weird feelings, passing out randomly. Something weird was going on and I was gonna figure out what. Hopper left after a while. I went to my room.
