The three of us

The sleepover

I walk to the couch and sit down next to Hopper, Joyce and Jonathan.
Jonathan is fixing his camera and Joyce is helping him, while Hopper strokes my hair slowly.
'How was your day?' He asks.
'Great.' I'm not telling him about the Demopus. It'll freak him out.
'I'm going upstairs.' I say.
I walk upstairs and grab my headphones.
I put on my favorite song while looking trough the window.
The sun is going down, so the sky looks pretty.
I look down the street, at Steve's house.
I can see him and Dustin in the garden, looking at the sunset, but they're not moving.
They're probably sleeping, so I'm gonna scare them.
I walk downstairs.
'Dad?' I ask.
'Hm?'
'I'm going for a bike with Steve and Dustin.'
'Alright, have fun.' He says.
I close the door after me and get on my bike.
I ride down the street and stop at Steve's garden.
My bike drops on the floor quietly and I sneak into his garden.
I walk towards Steve and Dustin and look at them. Dustin is sleeping and Steve is watching the sunset, with his head resting on Dustin's.
I smile and sit next to them.
'Jesus, you scared me.' Steve whispers loudly.
'Sorry.' I whisper back.
We look at the sunset together, while Dustin wakes up slowly.
He opens his eyes and looks at Steve.
'What's- where are we?' He asks, rubbing his eyes.
Then he turns his head to me and he smiles.
'Oh, I remember.' He rests his head on Steve's chest and we look at the sunset. Just the three of us.

When the sun is totally gone, Dustin is sleeping in Steve's arms again.
'I'm gonna head home.' I whisper to Steve.
He nods. 'Okay.' Then he waves at me.
'Bye, Y/N.' Steve whispers when I leave their side.
When I stepped on my bike I wave at Steve, but he already closed his eyes.
I feel a smile coming on my face and bike to my house.
I put my bike down and walk inside.
'Hey, Y/N!' El yells.
She's sitting on the couch with Will, Joyce and Hopper.
'Hey, everyone.' I say.
'How was your bike trip?' Hopper asks.
'Great.' I say, heading upstairs.
I enter my room and close my curtains, taking one last look at Steve and Dustin sleeping in the garden.
Then I open my closet, pick an outfit for tomorrow, lay in bed and close my eyes.

I wake up from a noise at my window.
I look at my alarm clock. What the hell, it's 4am.
I move my curtains and lurk outside.
Dustin and Steve are throwing rocks at my window.
When they notice me, they wave.
I flip my middle finger, put on my shoes and walk outside.
'WHAT THE HELL?!' I whisper loudly, walking their way.
'Sorry, Y/N.' Dustin whispers laughing.
'Yeah, sorry.' Steve says chuckling.
'We were just wondering if you wanted to have a sleepover in the cabin.' Steve says.
'The most random idea ever, in the middle of the night, but HELL YEAH!' I say.
We all laugh and enter the woods.
'Holy shit, it's dark in here.' I say.
'I came prepared.' Dustin gets a flashlight.
We all crawl together and make our way to the cabin.

After a while, we enter the cabin.
Steve turns on the only light we have.
We always have our sleepovers in the cabin, so there's spare sleeping bags and shit.
'Dustin, grab the shit.' Steve says.
'Woah, why me?' Dustin asks.
The spare shit is in a scary basement sort of thing. You have to climb a ladder to get there.
No one wants to go in there.
'Because I said so. GO!' Steve commands.
'You can't tell me what to do?!' Dustin says.
'Just go up there, man. Before I make you.'
Dustin flips his middle finger at Steve and climbs up the ladder.
'I don't wanna do this.' He whines, looking down.
'Jesus Christ.' Steve sighs and helps Dustin down the ladders.
He climbs up and grabs the sleeping bags and the sleeping mats.
He throws them down one by one.
After that, he throws down three pillows.
Then he climbs down and he raises his eyebrows.
'It ain't that hard, Henderson.' He slaps Dustin's shoulder.
'Sorry.' Dustin mumbles.
We lay everything on its place and lay down ourselves.
Dustin is in the middle, as always.
'Steve, snacks.' I say.
Steve sighs and walks to our mini-fridge.
I put on the movie Steve and Dustin picked.
Steve comes back and gives us the snacks.
'We're gonna be SO tired tomorrow.' Dustin says.
'You're not. You always fall asleep.' Steve says.
'No I don't.'
'Yes you do.'
'I DON'T, STEVE!'
'Jesus Christ.'
I shush them and we watch the movie.
