Stranger Things Short Stories

Babysitting Together

Steve:

- Steve is literally the king of babysitting

- No single person is better suited to caring for the small, vulnerable children of Hawkins.

- He will play all the time with them and actually enjoy it

- If the game is competitive, then he will fight to win

- He's really good at story telling and the way he's so gentle with the kids makes your heart just ache.

- You practically beg him to help you babysit every time from now on because it makes life easier

Eddie:

- Because Eddie is practically a giant small child himself, he really gets on with the children you babysit together.

- Like he actively encourages them to play with their food.

     - "Eddie what are you doing with the chicken nuggets and broccoli?

- He whips out the cheesy dad jokes which never fail to make the kids laugh

- Bed time is always pure chaos with some sort of pillow fight randomly breaking out or you walk in to find Eddie and the kids building a hut out of blankets

- Let's the kids give him makeovers.

     - "You never let me braid your hair but you'll let a five-year-old do it?"

     - "Hate to break it to ya y/n but I trust a toddler more than you."

- You both end up falling asleep on the sofa once the kids are asleep because they're just so tiring.

Max:

- Max isn't really at one with the children but she does try her best

- She won't let any of the children touch anything of hers and sort of just observes you looking after them for afar.

- She finds it kinda sweet how patient you try to be when dealing with the children (even if she knows you're only in it for the cash)

- Makes a lot of sarcastic remarks when the children try and talk to her but children don't understand sarcasm.

     - "That was literally so funny I'm going to die of laughter."

     - "But you're not laughing."

     - "You're going to die!"

- Couldn't be more relieved when you both get to leave and swears she'll never have kids

Peter:

- Your dad once let you help look after some of the younger kids in the lab once with Peter.

- You were shocked how patient he was with some kids like Eleven but just ignores the other kids.

- It's quite cute when he tries to help eleven with certain games

- Its also kind of funny when he gets this look of disgust on his face when one of the children get too close or too clingy

- But he likes how patient you are with the kids, it reminds him how you are with him sometimes.

Robin: 

- At first she wasn't really into the whole babysitting idea but she didn't mind the idea of extra cash so agreed to help you.
