Mine - Vance Hopper (The Black Phone)

- Her Vance -

Fast footsteps echo through the Blake house as Gwenny runs to her brothers room, opening the door in a hurry.

Finney jumps lightly from his slumber, his eyes snapping open at the sudden bang of his door against his wall.

"C'mon! You said we can go visit them today!" Gwen screams, jumping on his bed excitedly.

Finneys eyes shoot open wider, looking at her with fear. "Shh, dads in his room." He mutters, looking at the open door.

Gwen sends him a smile, shaking her head. "Nope, he left early for work today." She says.

Finney smiles before nodding, lifting his hands to rub his eyes. "Alright, I'm sure Vance needs company anyway, and maybe Marilyn would be awake." He mutters.

Since Marilyn had still been unconscious, the two just went to visit Vance. Sure, Finney was absolutely terrified of him and Gwen hated him because Marilyn did, they finally started to warm up to him as they visited the hospital.

But Finney and Gwen couldn't lie to themselves. They could both see Marilyn and Vance's chemistry beyond hate from a mile away, just neither of them thought to mention it as Marilyn always spoke lowly of the curly haired boy.

But, secrets can stay secrets for long and hidden feelings get revealed eventually.

"Ready? Cool, let's go." Gwen said, yanking her brothers arm and dragging him out of the house, both kids running towards the Grab 'n Go a few blocks away.

Since Gwen and Finney didn't have cars of their own, nor could they drive at all, the two would always ask Ms. Beckett to take them as she herself also liked to visit the young boy in the hospital bed.

Franklyn and Ms. Beckett both smile at eachother while walking through the hospital entrance. They didn't mean too, but they always seemed to show uo at the same time, both visiting their loved ones.

"Morning Franklyn." Ms. Beckett smiles, sending a polite wave over to the man.

Smiling, Franklyn sends one back before the two both make their way towards Marilyns and Vances room.

"Move it oldie's!" Gwen yells, running past the two older people and towards Marilyn and Vance's shared room.

Finney scatters behind her, muttering a small sorry for her actions as he makes his way past.

Opening the door, Gwen rushes in, looking towards Vance's hospital bed as he's usually awake during their visits and to her surprise, the bed was empty.

Confused, the girl looks around the room with furrowed eyebrows before a small gasp escapes her slightly parted lips when she spots the two teens cuddled up in Marilyns bed.

"Jesus Gwen, you need to slow down some..." Finney trails off, noticing what Gwen was staring at. "Times." He finishes, rubbing his eyes to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

"Are they?—"

"Yup." Gwen cuts her brother off, smiling brightly at the two teens asleep in the small bed.

Vance's arms were tightly wrapped around Marilyn in a protective manor as they both sleep carefully and soundly squished up against eachother.

"Now there's something you don't see very often." Finney and Gwen flinch at the voice of Ms. Beckett as she walks in the room.

"What do you—" Franklyn cuts himself off when Ms. Beckett points towards Vance and Marilyn.

Everyone in the room stare at the two with giant smiles.
