Two Hearts (Joyce Byers x Fem Reader)

Morning

It was the morning after Joyce had discovered you in the bathroom, and you woke up in her bed.

You feel a hand on your cheek as you slowly open your eyes.

It's Joyce.

She's smiling down at you as she whispers, "Good morning, love. Sleep well?".

You nod, rubbing your eyes.

"Good, good. I'm going to make breakfast, okay?" she says softly, rubbing her thumb against your cheek.

You smile, "Okay. Just be back soon.".

She leans down to kiss the tip of your nose, "I will. I love you.".

"I love you too..." you murmur as she leaves the room to make the first meal of the day.

After a few minutes, you decide you're gonna talk to Will and Jonathan before you help Joyce with the food.

You get out of bed, heading for Jonathan's room, as you know wherever you can find him, you'll find Will too.

You gently knock on the door before a voice you presume to be Jonathan's say, "Come in!".

You push the door open and behind it is indeed Jonathan and Will sitting on the edge of his bed together, mixtape in hand.

You lean against the doorframe, "You guys okay?".

They both nod.

Will asks, "So are you and Mom back together again?".

You feel your face turn red for two reasons.

1: They overheard you and Joyce arguing the night before?

And 2: They knew you and Joyce were together in the first place?

You pause, thinking up a good response.

But after a few seconds, Jonathan whispers, "We saw you guys in bed last night cuddling. You two on good terms again or...?".

"Oh... so you guys heard us arguing the other day?" you ask.

They nod.

"I'm sorry you had to hear that. But... how do you two know we're together?" you inquire.

Both of the boys look at each other before laughing.

"I mean, it's pretty freaking obvious!" exclaims Jonathan.

"Yeah, it's hard not to notice when you guys hold hands all the time, Y/n. Annnnnd when you guys kiss!" says Will.

"Ewww!" they both say to one another in unison, smiling.

"Are you guys... okay with us being... together?" you ask.

They both nod.

"So... are you guys still together then?" says Jonathan.

You nod slightly, "I think so. But don't worry about us. We'll figure it out.".

They smile.

Then, with that, you leave the room with a wave as you head down to the Byers' family kitchen.

Joyce is cooking something on the stove, facing away from you.

So, you slowly approach her before snaking your arms around her waist and hugging her from the back.

You rest your head in the crook of her neck as she chuckles, turning her head to look at you lovingly.

She kisses your forehead, "Mmh, hey love. Does your arm hurt any?".

"A little bit." your murmur.

"And no sex for a while. I don't want you to think that's all I'm after." you promise.

She shakes her head, "I didn't mean what I said yesterday but most of all that was the biggest lie I said. Mhmm, I just love the way you make me feel. But next time, I'm going to be making everything up to you, so don't you worry, sweetheart.".

You smirk, "God, Joyce... stop being so hot for a minute why don't ya?".

She laughs, "I could say the same for you, baby.".

Then, she kisses you again before announcing that breakfast is finally ready.
