Dark Red. | Steve Harrington x Reader

Chapter 26.

"Check this out — 'The War Zone.'" Eddie read aloud, pointing at a picture in the newspaper.

"Y/n and I have been there once before, it's huge. They got — everything you need for, uh, well, killing things, basically." Eddie explained.

"Do you think fake Rambo has enough guns there?" Robin asked Eddie — though, her eyes soon caught sight of something in the newspaper.

"Is that a grenade? I mean, how is any of this legal?" Robin questioned in disbelief.

"Well, lucky for us it is. So, this — this place is just far enough outside of Hawkins. As long as we steer clear of main roads, we oughta be able to avoid cops, uh, and angry hicks." Eddie told the group.

"If we're trying to avoid angry hicks, maybe we shouldn't go to some store called The War Zone." Erica sassily told Eddie, crossing her arms over one another.

"Normally, I'd agree, but we need the weapons. So, I think it's worth the risk." Nancy said.

"Me too." Lucas agreed, nodding.

"Yeah, but, is it worth the time? It'll take all day to bike there and back." Dustin said, looking towards Nancy.

"Who said anything about bikes?" Eddie questioned, looking at Dustin.

"What? You got some car we don't know about?" Steve asked, facing towards Eddie.

"It's not exactly a car, Steve." Eddie said, "And it's not exactly mine. But, it'll do."

"Hey, Red. Uh, you got a ski mask or a bandanna — something like that?" Eddie asked, his attention now on the quite girl.

Max gave Eddie a confused expression before suddenly her face lit up — telling everyone her answer.

Eddie was then handed a Michael Myers mask that Max had from Halloween.

Eddie then lead the group outside, making their way behind a random trailer — Eddie cautiously searched his surroundings before then ushering the others to follow him — making it to another trailer.

Sliding the small window open, Eddie clumsily climbed his way in.

"That was suffocating." Eddie mumbled as he discarded of the mask before then making his way towards the front of the trailer.

The others soon quickly piled in from behind him — Y/n being the last. Of course she was.

"Better be getting some nice ass abs by the end of this or I swear to god." Y/n grumbled to herself as Robin — who felt sympathy for her best friend —pulled her in.

"Thanks, Robi." Y/n breathlessly said — earning a hum from the taller girl.

The two teens then made their way towards Eddie and Steve, who seemed to be conversing.

"Um. Eddie? I'm not sure I love the idea of you driving." Robin told Eddie, leaning her weight onto Steve.

"Honestly, you shouldn't. He's a fucking horrible driver." Y/n added in — copying what Robin was doing and leaning her weight onto her.

"Not going to disagree with you on that, sweetheart." Eddie said, giving the girl a mischievous smirk. Steve could only look between the two friends with a confused puppy-like look.

"But, I'm just starting this sucker. Harrington's got her." Eddie continued, turning his head to then look up at Steve.

"Don't ya, big boy?" Eddie questioned, leaning forward towards Steve before pulling back — Steve could only look at Robin and Y/n with an even more confused look, leaving Y/n to silently laugh to herself.
