Steve parked outside Ms Kelley's house, and Max sighed "I'll try and be quick." She said before hoping out.

Y/n also hopped out, slamming her door. She then opened the passenger door, and opened the glovebox. Y/n reached in and grabbed an old carton of cigarettes, the box was old and worn out. She then pulled out a joint, and a lighter before putting it back amd slamming the door.

Dustin winced as she slammed the door, and looked at Steve "When the hell did she start smoking weed?" He asked in disbelief.

Steve sighed "A while ago." He answered "Helps her with the nightmares, and keeps her mind of last year." He explained.

Dustin hummed "Makes sense." He said, watching as Max walked into the house.

"Okay, she's in." Steve sighed.

Dustin gave Steve a look "I'm missing collar bones, not eyes." He retorted rolling his eyes, "So, we gonna talk about....it?" He asked

"Huh? Sorry, talk about what?" Steve asked looking away from the house and back at Dustin.

"Your temporary insanity earlier today when you basically threw yourself at Nance?" Dustin asked protectively.

"Okay first of all, that's not what happened." Steve defended.

"Pretty sure that's what happened. It was pretty public. Thete were like a lot of witnesses." Dustin retorted "You should've saw the look on Y/n's face, why the hell do you think she sat in the back."

Steve looked at Dustin in disbelief "Are you implying I still have a thing for Nance?" He asked.

"No. I'm not implying." Dustin said "But if you do, I will kill you." He deadpanned.

Steve scoffed "What-"

"I'm not kidding." Dustin said "You have the perfect girl, prettiest girl in town. All the guys want her Steve, and she could have any guy she wanted. But she chose you." He reminded.

Steve looked away from Dustin "I wouldn't hurt Y/n." He said, "I was just looking out for Nance, okay? She's just a friend, and she will never be anything more than that."

Dustin looked at Steve "You sure?"

Steve looked over at Dustin with a glare "Dustin, I swear I'll punch you so hard your teeth will fall back out." He said annoyed.

Dustin looked at Steve in disbelief "Whoa. Too far." He said shaking his head.

"Not cool. Sorry." Steve apologized.

"Not cool. It's okay." Dustin mumbled.

Steve sucked in a breath "I just don't wanna find her, or anyone else, with their eyes sucked out the front of their skulls by this Vecna creep." He ranted.

Dustin nodded finally "Okay, I believe you." He said looking forward, "You should probably talk with her when you get the chance."

Steve sighed looking behind Dustin where Y/n stood "Should I do it now?" He asked.

Dustin nodded "Yeah, might well." He said "We don't know how long Max will be."

Steve nodded "Wish me luck." He said, climbing out of the car and closing the door.

Y/n was still leand against Steve's car, slowly smoking the joint. She was halfway done with it, just starting up at the sky. Steve walked up to her, and leaned against the car, standing at her side.

"I'm sorry." Steve instantly apologized "I-i don't have feelings for her, I hope you know that." He said.

Y/n hummed "And I don't have feelings for Josh." She said looking over at him.
