We get to the place we were going to wich is apparently this roller skate place and get out of the car.
We start walking towards the entrance.
"Hey will! We'll be back at 6:00. Have fun okay?" Jonathan says from argyles car.
"Okay!" Will says.
We notice were still holding hands so we quickly stop so we don't get our day ruined by homophobic people.
"So, you've been here before?" I ask.
"Just like once because of one of my mom's work parties but not really."
"Ok this is probably a good time to tell you i do not know how to roller skate."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"That's ok I'll teach you. Besides, that gives me a way of holding your hand without us looking weird."
"That's actually smart."
We go grab some roller skates.
"Have fun!" The lady who works here says to us after handing them to us.
El has been acting kinda strange for some reason. I don't know why tho.
"What's wrong will?" I ask seeing he's kinda mad at El.
"Nothing, sorry."
"Okay.."
We sit down to out on our roller skates.
"Oh, i forgot. You need socks." El says to Mike who doesn't have any.
"Oh shit." Mike says.
"They sell them at the counter." Will says.
"Oh ok." Mike says walking over to the counter.
"How'd you forget about the socks? I mean, since you come here all the time."
"I don't know i just forgot."
"Right.. why do you keep lying?"
"What?"
"Why do you keep lying to Mike?"
"I'm not lying."
"You're not? You're friends with Angela and Stacy and you come to parties here?"
"I have been to a party here."
"Yeah, fir mom's work. That's not what you implied. I just.. i don't think mikes gonna like that you're lying to him. When he finds out he's gonna be mad."
"Okay, so i asked for vomit green and i git vomit green. Isn't that awesome?" Mike says walking back to us making El laugh.
"Hey can I talk with you for a sec?" I say to will.
"Yeah sure. We'll be right back guys."
Me and will walk away from them to talk.
"What's going on with you and El?"
"I'm sorry i know i was rude.. i just don't get why she's pretending she's popular all of the sudden."
"Look, she's just nervous about seeing mike again i mean she probably wants to act cool for him or something."
"You're right.."
"I know that's not what's really bothering you. I'm not gonna force you to tell me but i know somethings off. Anyway, this is supposed to be your day. It's your birthday after all."
"Yeah.. i don't think they care."
"Did they forget or something?"
"Yeah.."
"Shit. I'm so sorry will, i know you were exited to spend your birthday with us."
"It's okay."
"Look, we can still make this day better. Me and you. How about that?"
"You don't have to do that if you don't want-"
"Of course i want to. I love you."
"I love you too." He says relaxing a bit and giving me a smile.
We go to the skating rink.
"Oh shit i know I'm gonna fall." I say string to keep my balance while skating.
"You're not gonna fall! Here, just hold my hand I'll catch you if anything happens." He says, having fun for the first time since we walked in here.
"Okay okay. How are you do good at this?"
"I'm not, c'mon just follow me you'll get the hang of it." He says laughing.
We continue skating for a while, me and will decided to just hang out the both of us right now so we're not with El and mime all the time.
WILLS POV:
I was so scared y/n would forget my birthday too. I don't know why though i know he'll never do that.
It's been weird here without him. I really missed him. Im just glad we get to spend some time together.
I was acting weird before but now I'm back to normal. Y/n and i have been having fun and I've laughed more with him than the entire time I've been living here. I missed him so much.
Y/NS POV:
It's been a while and now we're sitting down at this table drinking milkshakes. Me and will sat next to each other and we've been holding hands under the table.
We were laughing about something when this blonde girl walked over to us.
"Milkshakes? Yum! Where oh where have you been hiding these handsome things?" She says.
"Uh.. Angela, thi- this is Mike. My boyfriend. And this is y/n, wills- uh our friend."
"Angela. Pleasure." She says shaking our hands.
"I heard a lot about you. It's really cool to meet some of el- Janes friends."
"Friends? Yeah! Super cool. C'mon friend, let's skate shall we?"
"I- i wanted to finish-"
"I'll hold that." One of her friends says grabbing her drink.
Angela grabs ela hand and drags her to the skating rink.
"Why do i get the feeling she's not her friend?" I ask will.
"It's cause she's not. Shes the popular girl who bullies like everyone."
"Shit."
Me and will notice someone holding a camera to film something at the rink.
"Oh no."
"What?" Mike asks.
"El, she hasn't been telling you guys everything."
"What are you talking about?"
"She's lying to you."
"Bullshit!"
"No, listen to me. She's having problems here."
"Problems. What kind of problems?"
El gets put on the center of the rink and the music stops.
"Alright everyone. This next song is dedicated to Jane, the local snitch."
A bunch of girls form a circle around her and start making fun of her while skating. They start pushing her a bit and she starts crying. Mike goes to tell the dj to stop the song but once he stops it one if Angela's friends pours a milkshake onto El making her slip and fall.
Mike goes over to El but she runs away and we loose sight of her through the crowd of people laughing at her.
"Oh what a fucking bitch!"
We start looking for El.
A few minutes pass and we're still looking for her.
"Not there?"
"No. You should've told me she was having trouble." Mike says.
"I didn't know they were gonna be here, mike."
"Yeah, but you knew she was having trouble for a year and didn't tell me."
"I didn't know she was lying to you."
"Which is why you were being a douche to her all day?"
"I wasn't being a douche!"
"You were! You were rolling your eyes, moping, you were barely talking. You basically sabotaged the whole day!"
"Mike shut the actual fuck up this isn't wills fault and you were acting weird to. You kept ignoring will and interrupting us. I mean, you have no place to be talking shit about anyone!" I say.
"She was lying to you mike! Straight to your fave, ever since you got here! And we've been ignored by you two the whole day. The only reason this hasn't been miserable is because y/ns here. So sorry if I wasn't smiling."
"Yeah, whatever man."
"Oh i wanna punch him in the face so fucking bad right now." I say as mike walks away looking for El. (I skipped that fight part because there is just no possible way for byler not to be so fucking obvious there even though I'm bylers like number one shipper😭✋✋)
"I'd let you punch him but we have to find El. Thanks for being on my side though."
"I'll always be in your side you know that. Besides mike is being a little bitch today."
We see El on the other side of the room walking over to Angela holding a skate.
"Angela!" El shouts.
She turns around to her and El hits her with the skate making a cut on mer forehead and causing her to fall down.
"Oh shit!"
We run over to them.
"Oh- oh my god."
"Holy shit El. What did you do? What did you do?"
"I'm not even mad i would've done the same thing."
"Don't back her up y/n!" Mike says.
"What? She had it coming."
A few minutes pass and Jonathan and argyle come to pick us up.
"I know this may be like upsetting and shit but that future prom queen is gonna be fine. I mean it's just like rubber wheels." Argyle says driving us home.
"Plastic." Jonathan says correcting him.
"Oh."
"Not like hard plastic just.. just the soft kind."
"Totally. But you ever wonder why the wheels aren't wood man? Or metal? It's so people don't get hurt when they get smacked.
"Oh."
"Yeah. Because it happens more than you think man. Roller skates attacks."
"Hey, at least it wasn't like an ice skate."
"That nose would've sliced clean off man! I could've been so much worse."
"So much worse."
"In the grand scheme of things this is just a little blip."
"That's a funny word man."
"Blip."
"Blip."
"They're high aren't they?" I ask will.
"They're always high."
We get to their house and walk in to see Murray cooking while listening to opera music.
"Well well, aren't you lot a sight for sore eyes? Eh?" Murray says.
"Hey Murray."
"You kids like risotto?"
"Yeah."
Murray finishes cooking and we all start to eat dinner.
"So there i was, headed down the i-5, going to see a client in Ventura. I'm looking for a motel to stay the night and suddenly, bam, it hits me. Didn't the byers move here?" Murray says.
"It's a small world isn't it? It's a small world." Joyce says.
" So i thought hey you know what? Why don't i drop in say hello to my old friends?"
"So sweet of you."
"Sweeter of you to let me stay."
"And he cooks too."
"And cleans. A regular little housewife." He jokes.
"You should just stay."
"I'd be tempted Joyce except you know, you have that uh.."
"Right, that business trip."
"Business trip? What business trip?"
"Oh my gosh i almost forgot to tell you guys. This thing at work-"
"Can you pass me the olive oil?" Jonathan asks argyle.
"That's wine." Argyle says.
"And it turns out I have to go to a conference tomorrow. In Alaska."
"Alaska?"
"Tomorrow?"
"Crazy, right?"
"That's where they're based. The britannicas. Joe and Brian Britannica."
"So do Eskimos still live in igloos? Or are they like fully blown like living in the.. in the suburbs now?"
"Who is this?"
"So, Jonathan, this means you're gonna have to you know take charge while I'm gone."
"Yeah."
"Wait. What? What's going on?"
"Your mom's going to Alaska."
"You're going to Alaska?"
"The britannicas are there."
"The britannicas?"
"Jonathan, what is wrong with you?"
"I think i know what's wrong with him."
"We just had a stressful day."
"Stress huh?"
"This girl got smacked in the head today at the roller rink."
"Smacked?"
"Yeah, one of those vicious skate attacks."
"Skate attacks?"
"Yeah, but it wasn't an ice skate it was.. it was a plastic skate."
"No it was like rubber."
"Rubber."
"Rubber. You know what? Um not sure. Anyway she looks like she's gonna be fine."
"She's totally fine."
"She didn't look fine."
El gets up and goes to her room.
"El, aren't you gonna finish your- what- what is going on with you guys?"
"Okay i sense tension. Is it the risotto? Everyone hates the risotto?"
"Absolutely not. No, it's incredible."
"This risotto is smackin dude."
"Still have no idea who he is."
We Finnish eating and me and will go to his room where we're gonna be sleeping.
"So, today was weird." I say.
"Yeah it was. Sorry it wasn't like you wanted it to be."
"Hey, it was still a good day because i got to spend it with you. I missed you so much this past year. It's nit the same there without you."
"I missed you too. I miss Hawkins, even after everything that happened there. And i miss being able to see you everyday."
"I was so nervous to see you."
"Why?"
"I was afraid you didn't like me anymore or something and then when i saw you i thought you were so out of my league.. i don't know. I'm glad i came here tho."
"How am i out of your league? You're literally the most handsome guy i know."
"That's definitely not true but thanks."
Will rolls his eyes sarcastically and pulls me close so I'm now laying next to him.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
He kisses me and we cuddle until we end up falling asleep.
