Two Hearts (Joyce Byers x Fem Reader)

Will's Coming Home

It had been a week since Joyce had confessed her feelings for you and the hospital finally gave you the all-clear to bring Will home.

Joyce had stayed home to get his room ready for him as you drive him home to her.

On your way there, with Will in the passengers seat beside you, he asks, "How did you and my mom meet?".

"Well, I'm a police rookie. I was told to go to her house to protect her and your brother 'till we found you just in case something happened to them." you explain.

He nods, "Makes sense. Are you gonna be sticking around for a little while longer?".

"Uh-huh. I'm technically not supposed to but Ms.Byers asked me to, so I'll be staying with you guys for a bit." you reply.

"Good. Because I think Mom needs someone like you." he breathes.

"Why's that, Will?" you ask.

He laughs softly before saying, "She's always had anxiety problems. She gets really nervous when she's on her own. It'll be nice for her to have you around to keep her safe.".

Just then, you pull up to the front of her house, "Hm, good to know.".

Then, you two get out of the car.

As soon as Will emerges from his side, you see Joyce burst out of her house, running to wrap her arms around her son.

You smile as you lean against the hood of your car, watching as Jonathan jogs out to join the hug.

Joyce raises her head from the pile of her sons before calling, "Come on, Y/N! Get in on this!".

You chuckle before walking over, enveloping the whole family in your arms.

They all smile at one another.

Tears form in Joyce's eyes as she is reunited with her baby once again.

Then, Jonathan and you pull away.

Joyce places her hands on either side of Will's face, bending over to meet his eyes as tears roll down her cheeks, "I missed you, baby. We all did.".

He replies, "I missed you too. I'm so happy you guys found me.".

Joyce smiles before saying, "Now come on, let's get inside! It's getting cold out!".

"Yeah, you're right. I hate the cold." says Will.

Joyce takes her place between you and her son, holding Will's hand and holding yours with her other.

The three of you follow Jonathan inside before you all sit down on the couch together.

You sit down beside Joyce, who is leaning over to place adoring kisses all over Will's forehead and you find yourself wishing Joyce would kiss you that much.

You love the way she kisses you, but you just want her to kiss you more.

"Mom! Stop, not in front of Officer L/N!" says Will, squiggling beneath his Mother's loving smile.

She sighs and sits back up before chuckling softly, "Y/N doesn't care! She helped save you in the first place!".

You say, "Mhm, you should have heard her. She really loves you, Will.".

He uncontrollably smiles at you as he says, "Yeah... I know... Thank you for saving me.".

He stands up to give you a small hug.

As he pulls away Joyce smiles again and says, "Aww, that's my boy!".

He sits back down beside her.

The boys hardly take notice of Joyce's hand placing itself on top of yours as she meets your eyes lovingly.

It's you and Joyce against the world.

Two closet lesbians facing a country of people so against you.

But with Joyce by your side and you by hers, you just know you two will brave the test of time.

You just know it.

A/N: HAPPY NEW YEARS BABES!!! THANK YOU FOR THE BEST YEAR OF MY LIFE<3
