Dustin Henderson X Reader

Meeting OO6

Time Skip >> Your POV

I followed Dustin to a house, I had become uncertain of him. He seemed taken aback when I showed him my numbers. Almost nervous... He leads me behind the house where there stood a singular door.

"Okay, Six. You're going to wait right here, I'm going to come back through this door. Don't move. Okay?" He said in a startling tone, I grinned. I couldn't take him entirely seriously, his lisp made him too sweet looking to be scary. I still nodded and awaited his return.

Dustin's POV

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! My mind screamed. She was an escapee, just like Eleven! She was lost, and scared, and hurt. I couldn't leave her alone, I had to help her. So I did the only thing I could think of...

*Knock Knock*

"Who could that be at this h-"

"Hi, Mrs. Wheeler!"

"Oh! Dustin? Honey, what are you doing here?" She said with a bizarre expression on her face.

"I-I uh, fell... I was too far from my house to walk, and I wanted to know if I could stay the night here?"

"Oh, um sure thing." She said uncertain, "Should I call your mom?"

"Yes please," I said showing off my toothless smile. I quickly marched past her and ran down the hall.

"The boys are in the base-" I quickly cut her off.

"Thanks so much!"I shouted opening the door. I quickly ran down the basement stairs to find Mike, Will, and Lucas on the couch watching a movie.

"Dustin?" Mike asked standing up. "What are you doing here?" I didn't reply, I walked straight to the door and pointed to it. "What about the door?" Mike said confused.

"Are you seriously this dense?" I asked still pointing to the door. Mike shrugged. "Open it!" I demanded, Mike approached the door.

Mike's POV

"Dude what's the dea-" My eyes widened, in the doorway stood a young girl. She was covered in dirt and blood. She had a large cut on her forehead that was dripping down the side of her head. She had long h/c, and bright e/c. I stood shocked. She was wearing a hospital gown. She said nothing, she just stood.

"D-Dustin?" She whined, Dustin quickly pushed his way through me and grabbed the girls hand. She was obviously scared, her eyes welled up with tears.

"Shh, Shh." Dustin hushed her and sat her down on the couch.

"Where did you find this one?" Lucas asked scooting over so that she could sit.

"Who is she?" Will said standing up, moving away from Dustin and the girl. We all began to bombard Dustin with questions.

"Shut up!" He shouted, "Can't you see you're scaring her?"

"Who is she?" I demanded.

"Her name's Six," Dustin said. He then reached for Six's hand, looking to her for confirmation. She shook her head. He then turned her wrist over and showing us a tattoo that said '006'. Lucas leaned in and tried touching the markings. She didn't jump, she didn't flinch, she just stared at him and tried to keep eye contact.

"You're Lucas..." She whispered. He said nothing, he just nodded and continued to keep eye contact. "You're afraid, aren't you? You're hiding behind fear, trying to be strong." Lucas looked at Six puzzled. She then looked away from him and smiled at Dustin.

"How'd you know that?" Lucas asked. She watched a tear fall from his eye.

"Your heart whispers secrets to me..." She said cupping his cheek and wiping his tear away.

"Who are you?" I whispered. She turned to me and nodded.

"I'm Six. I was taken from my parents when I was born. Stolen from the hospital, Papa said my parents were bad people... He told me they would've let me die, and he saved me. He said that my original name was Y/n, but since they didn't raise me, they couldn't  name me... But, uh... You can call me whatever you'd like."

"Do you have a home?"

"I don't know..." She whispered. "I've spent my whole locked away."

Time Skip >> Your POV

I explained my whole life to them, my being locked away, my finding Dustin is the woods. After a long time of my speaking to them, even after I had explained everything. They weren't surprised they seemed as if they had heard it all before.

"Mike, can she use your shower?" Dustin asked with worry on his face. I think he was afraid that Mike would disagree.

"Yeah." He said. Quickly he stood up and offered his hand, I took it and he led me to a small room, "Okay, so this is the bathroom, that's the shower. Um just get cleaned up and I'll have some clothes for you in a few minutes." I nodded.

Mike soon left the room. I began to undress. I removed that blood-stained dress felt good. I felt like I was shedding my past, but of course, my happiness didn't last long. I took a look at myself in the mirror and saw the bruises they had left on my ribs and my sides.

My eyes began to fill with tears... They did this... they ruined me. Suddenly the door had opened, it was Dustin. I had been in nothing, but my undergarments. Startled I turned around.

"Oh my god, I'm sorry. I should've knocked!" Dustin's face had turned a dark red, and he seemed to be embarrassed. He quickly covered his eyes and handed me some clothes. "Here..."

"Thank you..." I said as he held his hand over his eyes. He quickly gave me a thumbs up and tried to shut the door behind him.

Dustin's POV

"Oh my god, guys..." I said completely ashamed.

"What now Dustin?" Lucas groaned.

"I just walked in on Y/n..."

"Dude... Not cool." Will said sitting up.

"I know! I feel so ugh. I feel really bad." I whined, "I could've sworn though..."

"Dude you didn't look did you?" Mike asked with a disgusted look on his face.

"No, oh my god!" I shouted, "How messed up do you guys think I am?!"

"What then?" Lucas demanded.

"S-She's covered in scars and bruises..." I stuttered. "Those bastards did something terrible to her."

A/N: Hey, so before anyone gets too freaked out by the bathroom scene. That was so that Dustin could see her bruises, and build up even more of a reason to want to protect her and keep her safe. Also I hope you like this chapter, I know it was kinda long. Lol, but I seriously hope you enjoyed it. So leave a comment and tell me what you think!! :D
