FOREVER FRIENDS || dustin henderson

The hellfire club

Highschool had been.... Shit.... For Tristan Harrington. Yes, he had his name changed at a very young age — age 5 — and usually nobody could tell that he was trans, somehow people had figured it out. Everybody but the sports (other than lucas, obviously) and a few students here and there were respectful.
The rest of the school was respectful. They were mainly respectful because, well, as robin told keith, Tristan got the good Harrington genes.
Tristan didnt become popular though. It was his choice to only remain friends with Lucas, Mike, Dustin, and robin.
Tristan had gotten into drama, and all of the drama kids were respectful, but he never hung out with them. Only when he needed to.

But thankfully, the party met Eddie 'the freak' Munson. The hellfire club leader who befriended the three 14 year olds and let him into their D&D club and was extremely nice to them.
Eddie munson and all of the hellfire club was the only people to defend Dustin Henderson and Tristan Harrington for being "the queers of Hawkins high" other than Lucas, Mike, and Max.

Dustin and Tristan were in dustins room, Talking to suzie. Dustin was wearing a hellfire shirt, a white button up with different shapes on it, and a baseball cap that said "THINKING CAP" on it. Tristan was wearing just a hellfire shirt with black jeans, a necklace that Dustin gave him, and a black bandana. The Harrington boy and the Bingham girl had become good friends even though theyve never met in person.
Suzie was trying to help Tristan and Dustins marks get up so that they wouldnt fail.
"Thats a negative, Dusty bun" suzie said over the radio.
"Son of a bitch" Dustin cussed
Tristan grabbed the radio and said "try Tigers86" over the radio
"Tigers86, copy that" suzie said "jiminy crickets, Tristan. Im in."
"Holy shit." Tristan said.
There was then pounding at the door. Tristan ran to the bed and started rocking it "Dusty, tristan, what's going on in there?" Claudia Henderson asked the 2 boys "youre gonna be late."
Claudia went to open the door, but Dustin stopped the woman by yelling "dont come in! Me and tristan are banging!"

That was the excuse that Dustin and Tristan used when they didn't want claudia to come in. And she respected that, as long as it didn't lead to anything. And of course, they weren't actually banging so it wouldnt lead to anything.

"Were running out of time here" Dustin told Suzie
"Just hold your horsies, dustybun" suzie rolled her eyes.
Suzie used those nicknames to bug Dustin since his mum always calls him that.
"Yeah, dusty bun" tristan chuckled.
Dustin flipped his boyfriend the bird
"Do you see it?" Dustin asked
"Yeah, i see it.... Yikes, dusty."
"Yeah" Dustin rolled his eyes "just wait until you see tristans grade in english."

A few minutes later, suzie was finished. And gave Tristan a whole lecture of how he should not be this bad at English, forgetting that he's dyslexic.

"Look, now we're now saying that suzie is better than el" tristan began "its just that shes, like, a certified genius."
Mike rolled his eyes at the hispanic boy "you do realize el saved the work twice, right?"
"And yet you still have a C in Spanish" Dustin said.
Then Lucas and all of his sport friends came out. Tristan only came to these because of lucas.
He didnt pay attention to Jasons stupid speech

"They call it a tournament." Was the first thing Tristan heard once he started paying attention again. "You win one game, you go on until theres only one team left." Max explained

"I dont get the big deal. Just talk to Eddie" Lucas said after the pep rally. Lucas and Tristan were standing inbetween Dustin and Mike "get him to move hellfire to another night."
"Just talk to eddie" tristan scoffed
"Why dont you just talk to your coach and get him to mobe the game?" Asked mike
"I think thats a hreat idea" Dustin said
"Thank you, Dustin"
"This is the campionship game!" Lucas defended
"Yeah, and this is the end of Eddies Campaign. A semester ot adventuring has led to this moment, and we need you" Tristan said as all 4 boys approached the school doors
"Yeah, and the Tigers dont." Mike said, agreeing with tristan "youve been on the bench all year."
