"oh, hey mike," nancy said as they walked through the door.
"hey nance," he replied, something catching his eye. "what's robin doing here?"
"hey little wheeler," robin smiled.
"hey robin," mike greeted.
"so when two people like ea-" nancy started but got cut off.
"that's disgusting. i don't need to know if you're having sex." mike said, it wasn't rude, it was more playful. they're more laid back and themself around nancy. always have been.
"what'd you do at wills house?" nancy asked.
"stuff,"
"what kind of stuff?"
"we listened to music and talked. maybe we kissed a few times. that's it." mike said, thinking back to the previous night where he listened to music with someone he can finally say that he loves without being terrified.
"hey, did you hear-"
"mom and dad is dead? yeah, hopper told me."
"i am so sorry," robin said. she doesn't really know the situation of the wheeler parents and how they were shit but between the two, karen was slightly better cause she didn't lay hands on her child.
"it's okay, robin. we didn't like them anyway." nancy said,
mike excused themself from the living room and going to their room. somewhere that's safe, but it's also somewhere that can make you feel trapped if you're in the wrong headspace, but right now, mike wheeler is thinking about a brunette that changed their life. for better or worse? they don't know, not yet, anyway.
but mike hopes it's for the best.
