Basic Instinct [stranger things]

61. Best Friends

CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE
BEST FRIENDS

The group were all looking out of the restroom door, this proven to be quite difficult seeing as Dustin had only opened the door the slightest bit. The six were waiting for the movie they had snuck into before having to sneak out to finish so that they could sneak out the bathroom with the flood of people leaving the movies.

"Okay," Dustin whispered, looking side to side frantically for either of the Russian's carrying machine guns who were looking for them. "Run."

The group then left the restroom swiftly, rushing to catch up to the large group leaving the movie theatre.

Aaron made sure he was walking next to Kimmy, wanting to figure out why she was so upset earlier, the blond wondering what had happened for her mood to drop so abruptly while talking to him. The boy was worried out of his mind that she was mad at him.

Although he had no idea what he had done for the girl to get so upset, but it was obvious it was something he had said, he just didn't know what.

"Well, shit, that worked." Aaron heard Dustin whisper to Erica. The girl scoffing in response.

"Course it worked." Erica shook her head at him.

"We just have to get on the bus with the rest of these plebes," Dustin told the group smugly. Aaron didn't need to see the boy in front of him's face to know he was grinning. "And home sweet home, here we come."

"Hey, guys?" Steve spoke up hesitantly, Aaron looking to his brother with a puzzled look.

"What?" Dustin asked calmly, not bothering to turn around as he spoke.

"Um... yeah, Dustin, you might not want to go home." Steve said awkwardly, sighing as he looked to the ground sheepishly. "You too, Kimmy."

Aaron looked to Steve with a curious expression, wondering what was so different about Kimmy and Dustin in comparison to everyone else.

"Why?" Dustin asked, now sounding panicked.

"Well, I might've... I might've mentioned you two to the Russian's." Steve rushed out, Aaron's eyes widening as Kimmy snapped her head round to face the boy. "And I might have told them who you were, and your full names-"

"Why would you do that?" Kimmy exclaimed, her brows raised as she yelled at the older boy, Steve opening his mouth to try defend himself at her yelling but Dustin was already jumping in.

"What is wrong with you?" Dustin snapped, understandably frustrated.

Aaron's brows knitted together, wondering how on earth Steve could remember things while he was supposably drugged and Aaron couldn't. The blond wondered if maybe it was because of how badly he was hurt before he was drugged, or maybe it was because he'd never been high before. Probably a mix of both.

"I was drugged." Steve shrugged, trying to defend himself.

"Oh, my god." Kimmy mumbled, placing her head in her hands as she groaned. "We're probably on some super-secret hit list. We'll be gone in a week-"

"Okay, let's save the dramatics, alright?" Steve rolled his eyes but it was obvious that he was hesitating, like he didn't really think what she had said was the craziest thing in the world.

"You should have resisted!" Dustin insisted, completely spiralling into panic as he spoke. "You tough it out. You tough it out like a man."

"Oh, that's easy for you to say." Steve scoffed, trying to ignore to horrified looks Kimmy and Dustin were sending him. "I did resist, okay? I-"
