THE next part which was telling Joyce (also Hopper) was fairly easy. "We're a couple now." Will awkwardly says during dinner, El chokes on her milk, making it shoot out her nose as Max just started grinning like the Chesire Cat. It was freaky. An unusual look on Maxine Mayfield. Joyce stopped chewing, like she was a deer caught in headlights as Jim Hopper just stared at the two boys on his left.

"I knew it! I knew it!" Joyce sounded so excited and by that point, she basically started planning a wedding for the two as she rambled on and on about how she knew they'd be soulmates and end up together which made both boys blush a lot. "At least we don't have to worry about having grandkids so early." Hopper says and Joyce rolls her eyes as El giggled, wiping away at her nose.

After the dinner, Charles plops down onto the end of his boyfriend's bed as Will shut the door, his forehead against it. A loud groan emits from the older and the younger just smiles. "I think it was sweet... both our moms rooting for us. It was like they manifested it. Warles? Chill? Oh my God, we're Chill, like literally." The boy starts to get excited as Will walks over, smiling and kneeling infront of him.

"Bymont..." He says, grabbing Charles' hands and the long haired boy hums. "Chill Bymont. I like it." He nods and Will laughs, just staring at him. "I love you..." He says quietly and the younger teen's gaze softens. "I love you..." He whispers and Will got up, leaning in and connecting their lips. Charles instantly kissed back, being laid back onto his back as his arms go around Will's neck and the boy's arms hold him up above him. Will moves them further up the bed until Charles' head hits the pillow and their kissing deepened.

Then a knock came at the door and Will plops down onto the bed by Charles who made a face, crossing his arms. "Yes?" Will calls out and it's El, entering the room with a big grin on her face. "I just came here to say... I'm so happy for you both. I've been waiting until the day you two stopped being so oblivious and recognize your feelings for one another, I mean, it was frustrating, let me tell you," she hits her thigh gently, shaking her head.

"But I'm so happy for you both, seriously and I hope you guys stay together forever." She does a little heart with her hands and Charles snorts. "That's so gay, Eleanor." He says and El comes running towards them, jumping onto the bed between them and wiggling before she smiles widely. "I can totally see it... Bymont wedding. I'm the flower girl... Max is the maid of honour, Mike, Lucas and Dustin are the groomsmen. And Hop officiates the wedding." She says, grinning widely and Will scoffs. "You're just like mom." He says and she giggles as Charles just embraced El tightly.

"No offense... but someone cuter could be the flower girl." He says quietly and she dramatically gasps as Max appears in the doorway. "You two stole my girl?" She asked and Charles nods right away. "She's my girlfriend now." He squeezes El who giggled as Will just smiled even wider at the pair and Max runs to the bed, jumping right between El and Charles, wiggling like El had.

"You know? The other boys are missing." Max says right away, nodding as her arm goes around both Charles and El. "Hm, maybe we can do a little hangout. We haven't done one in a while." El smiles softly and Will nods. "Yeah, that'd be fun." He says, slightly struggling as he is on the edge of the bed so El tugs him in, making him rest against her.

"This is nice though, so let's just lay here for a bit." She giggles and Will smiles, resting comfortably against her stomach as Charles smiles at him, wrapping his arms around the three as best as he could. "Wait, what happened to Lucas' friend again? Patrick, was it?" Max asked and Charles' smile fades. "We--we didn't go well together." He shrugs and El glanced down at Will. "Let me guess, neither did you and Gareth." She says and he chuckles. "Yeah, no..." He replied to her.
