Insomnia Boys BYLER

Chapter 11

The three had an all out snowball fight, Built a really pathetic igloo, and made snow angels. They were currently building snowmen, El said they should make a little family so they did so. Both wanted to please their friend and they found it quite fun.

Will's dark blue gloves were covered in bits of white, his pants were soaked and his face was flushed red, he also had almost blue like lips.

"Do you have any pieces of coal or rocks?" Max asked El, who just nodded and ran inside.

Will and Max turned to each other and shrugged, continuing to build the smaller snowman, the child snowman. They had all agreed that the family would have some kind of cool backstory and names but they hadn't discussed what they would be yet. Will would most likely put in the most work for it all, like he always did. But he didn't mind.

"Here!" El shouted from the steps, she held five pieces of coal and one large button. "All I could find, sorry." She mumbled while handing the supplies to her two friends, they both just grinned and ran to set up the snowmen.

Once they were done El shouted for her father, "DAD! COME TAKE A PICTURE!" They had always taken photos with their creations on the first snow day, it was their thing. Just like spending Christmas eve with each other and having a big party with all their families on new year's eve. 

Hopper came running out at the sound of El's voice, Carrying the old camera that Jonathan had gifted him for his birthday the year he first adopted El.

"Pose!" He yelled at them. They all lined up near the 'gorgeous' snowmen, but before Hop could take the photo, Will took his hat and scarf off to place them on the mom snowman. He smiled brightly, ignoring the piercing cold.

El's dad snapped the photo and grinned, he would give the camera to Jon to develop later.

"It's one pm by the way." He smiled, ruffling El's brown hair in the process. "You're kidding me!" Max screamed, She ran to the porch to grab her bag then darted off down the old road.

"Do you guys want a ride?" Hopper offered, Will shook his head 'No' and began trying to catch up with his ginger friend but El stayed back for a second to hug her father, kissing him on the cheek of course and promising to call once she got to the Wheeler house.

Max, aggressively knocked on the door. The two accompanying her felt bad, they knew It would most likely be Mrs Wheeler answering the door. Neither wanted to cause the lady stress but Max could give 'a flying fuck' , as the ginger herself said.

The door opened to reveal a women with blonde hair, it was in a tight ponytail and she wore a white sweater with jeans. She also had a cute pink apron. Max seemed to realize that she had just scared the poor women and had a look of sorrow appear.

"Sorry ma'am, I didn't realize it'd be you answering the door. I figured it was going to be Mike." Max apologized, Mrs Wheeler smiled at the three and moved so they could walk in. "Oh Sweetie, it's fine! You gave me a good scare though." She chuckled.

They all walked in, making sure to take their shoes off and hang their jackets, even if they were going to leave in an half hour.

"The boys are just down stairs, We haven't met yet but I'm Mike's mother. You can call me Karen." Mrs Wheeler said while looking at El before walking away.

Max directed the others, even though Will knew where to go.

"Oh my god! I thought you guys bailed!" Lucas yelled when he saw Max's fiery hair, "Seriously, your half an hour late." Dustin added on.

The three boys were sprawled out among the room, Lucas and Dustin sat on the floor across from each other while Mike sat on the couch. It seemed they were in an intense game of Uno before they had gotten there.

"Draw four." Mike said, leaning over and throwing a card down. Lucas spun his head around and stared at the boy, If they were in a cartoon you would be able to see the steam coming out of his ears. "MIKE! I thought we were friends? I even used my reverse so you could make Dustin draw two earlier!" Lucas screamed.

Will watched in shock as both boys bickered, Dustin joining in to call them 'fake friends' and 'Stupid lying asshats' and it seemed none of them cared that Max, El, and Will stood there. Watching them fight.

It was only broken up when Lucas started throwing his cards at Mike. Which was stopped by El, she yelled that they were 'being dumb' and 'needed to calm down' which Will would've agreed with if asked. Max just shook her head in a disapproving manner, sighing dramatically too.
