Two Hearts (Joyce Byers x Fem Reader)

Snow Ball (Smuttyyyy)

Joyce moves left and right with Will in her arms, teaching him how to dance in preparation for the Snow Ball dance at his school.

You stand beside Jonathan, smiling while he takes a video with his camcorder.

Will is in his little suit and Joyce is in a shirt that makes you want to hug and kiss her.

"Do you always have to be filming everything?" asks Will.

"No. Only the good stuff." replies Jonathan as Joyce continues to dance with her son, holding one of his hands in hers and placing the other on his arm.

"Are you sure people still dance like this?" says Will.

"Yeah! It's just whats happenin'!" she replies, smiling at him.

"Is it what's happening?" asks Will, looking at the camera on Jonathan's shoulder.

"Yeah, yeah, it's what's happening!" replies Jonathan.

"Yep, listen to your Mom! It's just what's happenin' Will! No way around it!" you chuckle.

He sighs jokingly as Joyce releases one of his hands to do a fancy little twirl.

She beams at her son.

She looks so happy and excited.

It just makes you want to cry.

She's gone through so much to get here.

You shake your head of the negative, sad thoughts, watching her dance with Will with a smile on your face.

You chuckle again, "Don't you think he's had enough yet, Joy? I think it's almost time he goes to that dance!".

She sighs, smiling at you before letting Will go, "Yeah... okay, baby. You're ready to go. Be careful for me okay?".

He nods, heading towards the front door.

You follow him until you both emerge onto the porch.

You close the door behind you, placing a hand on his shoulder before he reaches his bike.

He turns to look at you.

"Hey. When you get back, thank your mom. She really loves you. Not many Mothers would teach their sons to dance like that." you murmur.

He nods, "I... I will.".

"Alright. Have a good time out there for me, okay kiddo?".

He nods again, "I'll try.".

Then, you take your hand off of his shoulder, sending him off with a, "Be safe.".

He smiles before heading to his bike, hopping on it and riding off down the road.

You turn back around, walking into the house.

You're met  with Joyce, looking up at you innocently.

"What'd you say to him?" she asks softly.

You chuckle, wrapping her in a loving hug as you reply, "Nothing, Joy. He'll be fine, alright? he's gonna be fine.".

Skip to the time of the dance...

You and Joyce park in front of Will's school to drop him off for the Snow Ball.

Will gets out of the car, and just as he's going to walk off, Joyce calls, "Sweetie!".

He turns around.

"Be safe, alright? I love you!" she yells.

He smiles awkwardly, and you can tell he's about to keep walking.
