Y/n and Steve walked around the grocery store, grabbing some food and snacks for Eddie. They had left him later that night, and everyone stayed the night at Y/n and Steve's apartment.

"Steve, what the hell are we gonna do?" Y/n asked grabbing a bag of chips, and setting it in the basket she had.

Steve shrugged "I don't know." He mumbled "But I know one thing for sure, I'm not letting anyone else die." He vowed.

Y/n shook her head "You can't promise that Steve." She mumbled.

"Well, I can try." Steve argued grabbing some drinks, and setting thoes in the basket as well.

"Hey, Y/n!"

Y/n looked over, and watched as Josh walked over "Oh, hey." She greeted.

Steve scowled, and glared at Josh. Y/n could already feel his jealousy radiating off him, and he wasn't even going to try and hide it.

"You hear about that murder?" Josh asked in disbelief "Crazy shit."

Y/n nodded in agreement "Yeah, scary times." She said.

Josh hummed and looked at Steve "Oh, shit, hey Harrington." He greeted.

Steve's mouth was pulled into a thin line, an annoyed look on his face "Hey." He greeted stiffly.

Josh raised a brow, but then shrugged looking back to Y/n "Do you think you can come in later?" He asked.

Y/n shakes her head "No can do." She said "I've got a lot of....personal stuff to do today."

"Oh? Like what?" Josh asked curiously.

Steve rolled his eyes, and grabbed the basket from his girlfriend "I'm gonna get some more stuff." He grumbled walking off.

Y/n frowned watching as Steve walked off, Josh just snickered "Whats his deal?" He asked.

"It's been a rough few days." Y/n said shaking her head "I should probably go." She said before rushing off.

The group had gone back to see Eddie, who was still hiding in the boat house. Y/n never got the chance to talk with Steve, he had paid for their things and left. And obviously they couldn't talk with everyone crammed in the car.

"Well, we got some good news and some bad news." Dustin said "How do you prefer it?"

Eddie who was shoving dry cereal in his mouth, looked up "Bad news first, always." He said his mouth full. He then brought the bottle of yoo-hoo up and took a quick drink.

Y/n cleared her throat "We tapped into the Hawkins PD dispatch with our Cerebro, and they're definitely looking for you." She said.

"Also, they're, uh, pretty convinced you killed Chrissy." Dustin added wincing.

"Like, 100% kind of convinced." Max added.

"And the good news?" Eddie asked, looking already helpless.

"Your name hasn't gone public yet. But if we found out about you, it's a matter of time before others do." Robin explained, "And once that gets out, everyone and their small-minded mother is gonna be gunning for you."

"Hunt the freak, right?" Eddie said shakily.

"Exactly."

"But, we wont let anything happen to you." Y/n quickly said.

"So, before anything happens, we need to find Vecna, kill him, and prove your innocence." Dustin explained.
