Our Never Ending Story | Steve Harrington x Reader

[6] The Mini Demogorgon

Dustin explains what happened on the way to his house and after that the ride is silent.
"Wait a sec, how big?" Steve asks.
"First it was like that." Dustin says showing a small gesture with his hand, "then it was like that" showing a bigger gesture with his hand.
"I swear to god, man, it's just some little lizard, okay?" Steve says.
"It's not a lizard." Me and Dustin say at the same time.
"How do you know?" Steve asks me and I stay silent.
"Because his face opened up and he ate my cat." Dustin says.
"What the hell? He ate mews?" I ask and Dustin nods.

I wake up in the lightening place again. They are becoming more frequent and more real. I look around but I can't see the man anywhere.
"Hello?!" I scream. I float up in the air and get thrown into a wall. These vines help me up and I get stuck. I try to get free but I can't.
I scream as loud as I can hoping that Steve or Dustin can hear me but they can.
"Stay here with me, Elizabeth."
"No!" I scream.

I wake up to Steve shaking me. I start breathing heavily and I feel myself sweating everywhere.
"Woah, what happened? Are you okay?" He asks.
"Nightmare." I say
"We're here." Steve says and helps me out of the car. I go in my bag and grab one of my guns and Steve grabs his bag. I get a flashlight and give it to Steve and Dustin leads up towards this underground trap thing, it's chained up and could only open up with some sort of key.

"I don't hear shit." Steve says.
"He's in there." Dustin says.
Steve starts banging on the door with his bat.
"Steve, shut up. You'll wake up Dustin's mother."
Steve sighs and hits it again completely ignoring me.
"Listen, kid. I swear, if this is some sort of Halloween prank, you're dead." Steve says shining the flashlight in his face.
"Jesus, stop." I say grabbing the flashlight off of him.
"It's not. It's not a prank." Dustin says.
"You got a key for this thing?" Steve asks Dustin.
Dustin runs in his shed and grabs the key and unlocks it. I open the doors and about to go in when Steve grabs my arm.
"Where the hell are you going?" He asks pulling me behind him.
I huff and slam the flashlight in his hands. He shines it in the cellar.
"He must be further down there. I'll stay up here in case he tries to escape. " Dustin says. I stay out with Dustin and Steve goes down.
"Be careful!" I shout. After about 2 minutes Dustin starts getting anxious.
"Steve?" Dustin says.
Steve shines the light up at us.
"Get down here." Steve says. Me and Dustin hold onto each other and slowly walk down the stairs. As we get to the bottom we stop holding at each other and look at Steve. On his bat is this slimy skin thing.
"Oh shit." Dustin says then Steve points a light towards a tunnel that Dart must've clawed it's way through.
"Oh shit." Dustin repeats.
"That's great." I say sarcastically.

We make up a plan to lure Dart with meat so me and Steve buy some steak and go to the trail racks with buckets of meat.

"Dustin, this is Lucas. Do you copy? Dustin?"
"Well, well, well, look who it is." Dustin grins.
"Sorry, man. My stupid sister turned it off."
"Well, when you were having sister problems, Dart grew again, he escaped and I'm pretty sure he's a baby Demogorgon."
"Wait, what?"
"I'll explain later. Meet me, Steve and Lizzy at the old junkyard."
"Steve? And Lizzy? Are they together now?"
"No!" I shout.
"And bring your binoculars and wrist rocket."
"Wait, Steve Harrington?"
"Just be there, stat. Over and out." Dustin says.

"Alright, let's go." Steve says. We walk along the tracks and throw meat everywhere.

"Alright, so let me get this straight. You kept something you knew was probably dangerous in order to impress a girl who you just met?" Steve asks.
"That's grossly oversimplifying things." Dustin says.
"Not really." I say.
"Why would a girl like some nasty girl anyway?" Steve asks.
"An inter-dimensional slug? Because it's awesome." Dustin says.
"It's just gross, Dustin. I can't believe you kept it!" I say.
"Well, even if she thought that it was cool.." Steve says.
"Which she didn't" I add.
"I just... I don't know. I feel like you're trying way too hard, man." Steve says.
"Well, not everyone can have your perfect hair, alright?" Dustin huffs.
"It's not about the hair, man." Steve says.
"It is." I mutter quietly so they don't hear me.
"They key with girls is just acting like you don't care." Steve says.
"That's not true, at all." I say.
"Even if you do?" Dustin asks ignoring me.
"Yeah, exactly. It drives them nuts." Steve says.
"It doesn't!" I yell.
"Then what?" Dustin asks ignoring me again.
"You just wait until, uh, until you feel it." Steve asks.
"Feel what?" Dustin asks.
"It's like before it's gonna storm, you know? You can't see it, but you can feel it, like this..." Steve says trailing off trying to find a work.
"Electricity." I say.
"Yeah, exactly. Electricity, you know?" Steve says.
"Who have you felt that electricity with?" Dustin asks.
"You know, Nancy and someone else." Steve says.
"Who?" Dustin asks.
"Someone, you don't know them." Steve says.
"Lizzy?" Dustin asks and I feel myself blush.
"No. You don't know them." Steve says.
"Anyway, if you feel that... sexual electricity, make your move." Steve explains.
"So that's when you kiss her?" Dustin asks.
"Woah!" I exclaim.
"Slow down, Romeo." Steve says.
"Sorry." Dustin says.
"Sure, okay, some girls, yeah, they want you to be aggressive. You know, strong, hot and heavy, like a lion." Steve says.
"A lion?" I ask.
"But others, you gotta be slow, you gotta be stealthy, like a ninja." Steve says.
"How many different girls have you made out with?" Dustin asks him.
"What type is Nancy?" Dustin asks.
"Nancys different." Steve says.
"Yeah, she seems pretty special, I guess. And what about the mystery one you won't tell me about?" Dustin asks.
"She's different too. She actually really cares about others and she's so kind. She has this hair and the prettiest eyes. Shes badass aswell. She's so tough. And she's very funny." Steve says and gets lost in his thoughts.
"Steve?" Dustin asks.
"Hm?"
"Did you love this girl?" Dustin asks.
"Still do, when you love someone that much, that feeling never goes away, no matter what." Steve says. I start getting angry and I don't even know why. I barge past them both and walk ahead of them to a far enough distance so I don't hear them.

NOBODYS POV

"Jesus, what's wrong with her?" Dustin asks.
"She's been acting really weird lately. I don't know why." Steve says.
"Is she the mystery girl? She can't hear us. There's no way." Dustin says and Steve sighs.
"Fine. She is, okay? But I can't go out with her." Steve says.
"Why not?" Dustin asks.
"It's just that... things are difficult right now." Steve says.
"Snowball." Dustin says.
"What?" Steve asks.
"She's chaperoning at the snowball. Why don't you come?" Dustin asks.
"I don't do dances." Steve says.
"Why?"
"Because I just don't, okay?"

LIZZYS POV

"Oh, yeah. This will do." Steve says.
"Yeah, good call Dustin." I say ruffling his hair. I throw some meat chunks everywhere.
"I said medium well!" Lucas shouts. He waves at us and walks down with Max.
"Who's that?" Steve asks and Dustin stays silent. Him and Lucas go sit behind a car and talk.
"It's the girl he likes by the way." I say to Steve.
"What?"
"The ginger one. That's max. The girl he likes." I say and he nods.

"Hey! Dickheads! How come the only one helping me out is Lizzy and this random girl? We lose light in 40 minutes. Let's go." Steve says to them and they stand still.
"Let's go!" I yell and they run and start helping out.
"All right! Asshole. God." Dustin says.
"Jesus." Lucas says.

We all board up the bus ready. The sun starts to set so we all go inside and I close the door behind me.

50 minutes later

"So you really fought one of these things before?" Max asks.
"Mhm." I say.
"And yours, like, totally, 100% sure it wasn't a bear?" Max asks.
"A bear?" I say.
"Shit. Don't be an idiot, okay? It wasn't a bear. Why are you even here if you don't believe us? Just go home." Dustin says irritated.
"Calm down, dude. Jesus." I say.
"Someone's cranky. Past your bedtime?" Max asks and goes up the ladder.
"That's good. Just show her you don't care." Steve says and j give him a look.
"I don't." Dustin says. And Steve winks at him.
"Why are you winking, Steve? Stop." Dustin says.
I sit down by Steve and smile at him awkwardly. The wind blows against the metal, I get alarmed and grab Steve's hand.
"It's okay, it's just the wind." Steve says and holds my hand tighter.
"Just the wind..." I say and try and calm myself down.
We hear growling and I look at Steve with my heart pounding.
"You sure it's just the wind?' I whisper shout. Me and Steve get up and run towards a window and look outside.
"You see him?" I ask Steve.
"No." He replies.
"Lucas. What's going on?" Dustin shouts up at him.
"Hold on!" Lucas shouts, "I've got eyes! Ten o'clock!"
"There." Steve says and points.
"What's he doing?" I ask.
"I don't know." Steve replies, "he's not taking the bait. Why's he not taking the bait?"
"Maybe he's not hungry?" Dustin suggests.
"Maybe he's sick of cow." Steve says.
"You're safe then, Harrington." I joke.
"Ha-ha. So funny, Hopper." He says rolling his eyes. He grabs his nailed bat and opens the bus door.
"Steve? Are you inside?" I ask.
"Just get ready." He says and throws the lighter in my hand.
"Steve!" I shout and he walks out. I pass the lighter to Dustin and grab my gun.
"What is he doing?" Max asks.
"Expanding the menu." Dustin says.
I open the bus door and cautiously walk towards Steve.
"They're insane." I hear max say.
"They're awesome." Dustin says. I put my hand on Steve making him jump and almost hit me with the bat.
"Get back inside! What are you doing?" He whisper-shouts.
"Shut up!" I say and Dart comes creeping out of the fog.
"Steve! Lizzy! Watch out!" Lucas screams.
"We're a little busy here!" Steve shouts back. I look behind us and see another demogorgon.
"Holy shit!" I scream and grab his arm as Dart comes running towards us. I start shooting at them and run towards the bus grabbing Steve. We dive in the bus and close the door and it starts banging on it.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Dustin screams.
"Are they rabid or something?" Max asks.
One of its hands get in and Steve starts beating it to death and the kids and I run to the back of the bus.

"Is anyone there? Mike? Will? God! Anyone!" Dustin screams into the walkie talkie. The bus starts shaking.
"Steve!" I scream and he comes over. I look up at the opening and see the demogorgan. I scream and Steve pulls me out of the way by my waist and screams at it flashing his bat at it.
"You want some?" He shouts when the creature runs off.

It goes silent and we all slowly creep out of the bus.
"What happened?" Lucas asks.
"Steve scare them off?" Dustin asks.
"No. No way. They're going somewhere." Steve says.
