3rd Person
Joyce and Hopper lead Will into his room, the tiger still in his hand.
"Will, we need to talk to you." Joyce spoke calmy and Will just looked at her.
"You can't go outside anymore baby." She told him and he looked horrified.
"No! No mama I go!" He tried, but Hopper took over.
"No, kid you aren't allowed. It's a risk." Hopper tried to explain.
"No! No no I go!" He started to get annoyed.
"No. You will stay in this house and nobody enters and nobody leaves. You understand?" He firmly tells the small boy.
"No. I not stay." He shakes his head.
"Do you want to go back to the lab?" Hopper asks him, and Will immediately panics.
"No, no I don't go back! No papa!" He starts to freak out, thinking Hopper is sending him back.
"Hop! You've scared him!" She scolds him, going forwards to hug the smaller boy.
"Don't worry baby you aren't going back." She told him.
"I stay?" He looked up at her.
"Yes, you stay here." She nodded, smiling softly at him.
"But I go shop.. With pretty." He pouts, looking up at her.
"No, no more Mike for a while." Joyce tells him, and he bursts into tears.
"No.. I love pretty!" He cries, and Joyce immediately feels bad and looks up at Hopper.
"Joyce, you know he can't see him." Hopper sighed reluctantly.
"It's late, why don't we put him to bed." Joyce sighed.
"Yeah, I'll go and tell everybody he's going to sleep." Hopper nodded, and Joyce got Will to go into his room.
"Mama.. Please I see pretty." He begged, and Joyce felt awful.
"I'm sorry baby, you can soon.." She tells him and he continues to cry.
Joyce wipes the tears off of his face and uses her thumb to stroke his cheek.
"I love you, sweetheart." She sighs.
"Love mama." He replies back, his eyes drooping.
Joyce sits with him until he falls asleep, and she goes into the living room to see El sleeping on Hopper's shoulder, while Hopper is watching TV, waiting for Joyce.
"He's asleep." She whispers, sitting down next to Hopper.
"I'll get going then, love you." Hopper smiled at her.
"I love you too." She smiled back, giving him a kiss on the cheek and sending him off.
(The next morning)
Will woke up, and got up out of his bed, feeling hungry.
He picked his tiger up off of the floor and went to go and get some 'loops'.
"Mama?" He spoke into the dark hallway.
"J-Jonathan?" He tried to remember his older brothers name.
He was met with dead silence.
"Mama?" He started to panic now.
He accidentally leaned on a light switch, which lit up the kitchen and living room, showing that nobody is there.
"Where mama..?" He whispered to himself.
He looked around the kitchen, and he heard a loud noise, a slam.
He flinched and turned around, seeing Jonathan stood there.
"Jonathan!" He yelled, wrapping his arms around the taller boy.
"Woah woah, what's wrong?" He asked him, hugging Will back.
"I scared, can't find mama." Will looked up at him.
"Dont worry, I'll go and get her, okay?" She smiled down gently, and Will nodded and let go.
He sat down at the dinner table, and closed his eyes.
He got the image of fruit loops in his head, and within seconds there was a box in front of him.
He opened the box and started to much on them, completely forgetting why he was upset a minute ago.
"Will, baby, what's wrong?" He heard Joyce say, and he looked up.
"I not find you! I scared." Will frowned.
"Oh sweetheart don't worry, I'll always be here." She smiled softly at the boy.
"I have loops!" He grinned, showing them to her.
"How did you get them?" Joyce looked confused, knowing she hasn't restocked them in the house yet.
"Mind. I think, I get." Will told her, stuffing some more into his mouth.
"I- what? Okay then." She sighed, sitting down next to Will.
She heard a knock at the door, and got up to answer it.
She opened the door to see the party stood there.
"Hi! Can we see Will?" They all asked her.
"If the party comes round, say I took him somewhere."
"I'm sorry, but he's not here right now. Hopper had to take him somewhere." She apologized.
"Oh.. Okay. Well when you see him please can you tell him we got him a Snow White book and be can read it if he wants." Mike told Joyce, holding out a book.
"Yeah. Yeah of course." Joyce smiled at them all, and they all said goodbye and left.
Joyce sighed, knowing this would be difficult.
