The Babysitters ♡ Steve Harrington

Episode 6

Steve, Dustin and I drove in silence. We were all going over the information.

Dustin found a slug on Halloween. It turned into a giant monster. It's missing. 

Wonderful.

"Wait a sec. How big?" Steve questioned.

"First it was like that." Dustin showed the size between his fingers. "Now he's like this." He showed the creature's current size with his two hands.

"I knew...I knew something was wrong. Why didn't you tell me?" I questioned Dustin.

"I thought you would take away my scientific discovery!" Dustin defended.

"Really? Me...take away a scientific discovery?" I repeated. 

"I swear to God, man, it's just some little lizard, okay?" Steve rolled his eyes, not believing Dustin.

"It's not a lizard." Dustin denied.

"How do you know?" Steve asked.

"How do I know if it's not a lizard?" Dustin repeated.

"Yeah! How do you know it's not just a lizard!?" Steve raised his voice.

"Because his face opened up and he ate our cat." Dustin revealed.

I gasped. "Your slug ate Mews?"

"Yeah..." Dustin sighed.

"Oh, my God." I put my face in my hands. "Mom's looking for a dead cat."

We pulled up to our house and Steve opened his truck, where our bat was. He tossed the keys at Dustin and pulled it out.

Dustin gave Steve a flashlight and led us to our cellar. It was silent.

"I don't hear shit." Steve denied.

"He's in there." Dustin said.

Steve tapped the bat on the metal door. Nothing. He banged it against the door. Nothing.

He faced Dustin. "Alright, listen, kid. I swear, if this is some sort of Halloween prank, you're dead." Steve warned, aiming the light right at Dustin's face.

"It's not." Dustin told him.

"Alright?" Steve made it clear.

"It's not a prank. Get it out of my face." Dustin closed his eyes.

"You got a key for this thing?" Steve looked between Dustin and I.

"You're going down there?" I questioned.

"You worried?" Steve smirked, enjoying the fact I was worried about him.

"I hope it eats you." I replied with a hard face.

Steve's face dropped. "I was just kidding." He muttered.

"Enough flirting, you're making me sick." Dustin said, pulling out the key.

"That's flirting? Oh, kid." Steve shook his head.

"It's clearly a hate-love banner." Dustin stated.

Steve unlocked the cellar and swung open the door. Dustin aimed the flashlight down there.

I didn't see or hear anything.

"He must be further down there." Dustin realized. "Athena and I will stay up here in case he tries to escape."

Steve stared at Dustin in shock before sighing. 

Steve stood, holding his bat, before looking at me. "Kiss for good luck?"
