Dark Crush (Mike Wheeler x Reader x Will Byers)

Chapter 017

A/N: WARNING! WARNING! YET ANOTHER LONG CHAPTER! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!

They ran in and shut the door, leaving Max outside. Mike didn't want Max to hear about this. Max was banging on the door.

"Hello! Hello? Guys come on. Can I come in yet?" She heard Mike yell no. She grumbled and hit her fist on the door again.

    "I don't understand," Lucas said.

"What do you not understand?" Mike asked.

    "Will saw something that looked like Dart last year?" Lucas clarified.

"Kind of, but there was no tail." Will said, quietly.

    "But then he heard it Halloween Night (A/N: This is taking place a few days after Halloween, sorry). The exact same sound." Mike finished.

"Why didn't you tell us before?" Dustin questioned Will.

    "I wasn't sure." (Y/N) looked down. That's what he realized but didn't tell her... Did he tell Mike instead?

"A coincidence," Dustin stated.

    "Or not." Mike debated. "What if when Will was stuck in the Upside Down, he somehow acquired True Sight?"

"True sight?" Lucas asked.

    "It gives you the power to see into the ethereal plane," Dustin replied.

"Elaborate." (Y/N) said.

    "Maybe these episodes that Will keeps having aren't really flashbacks at all. Maybe they're real. Maybe Will can somehow see into the Upside Down."

"So that would mean..." Lucas started.

    "Dart is from the Upside Down." Mike finished.

"We have to take him to Hopper," Lucas said.

    "I agree." Mike agreed.

"No way." Dustin argued. "if we take him to Hopper, Dart's as good as dead."

    "Maybe he should be!"

"How can you say that?" The curly haired boy turned to his tall friend.

"How could you not? He's from the Upside Down."

    "Maybe. But even if he is, it doesn't automatically mean that's he's bad."

"That's like saying just because someone's from the Death Star doesn't make them bad." (Y/N) raised an eyebrow at Mike's comparison.

    "We have a bond." Dustin insisted.

"A bond?" Mike laughed. "Just because he likes nougat?"

    "No, because he trusts me!"

"He trusts you..." Lucas interjected, clearly not understanding the situation.

    "Yes, I promised I would take care of him."

"Guys!" (Y/N) yelled, causing all the boys to look at her. "We need to tell Rihna, I know you don't want to but Rihna probably knows how to deal with these things." (Y/N) made sure to say that quietly and Will nodded in agreement. That's when they heard Dart screech and all backed up as the box started to shake violently. Outside Max banged on the door again.

    "Guys! What's going on? Come on!" The girl opened her bag and grabbed a paper clip from her book. She straightened one side out and pushed it into the doorknob, trying to open it.
