just friends; finn wolfhard x reader

Chapter 15

A/N So a few people were wondering why I call Finn, Millie, Sadie, Caleb, Gaten, Noah and Y/n 'kids'. It's because they're the kids of Stranger Things. So yeah...

Y/n's Pov

I wake up to the sound of Millie belting the lyrics to Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You. "Shut uppp." I groan, throwing a pillow in her general direction. "Wake up sleepy head it's Christmas Eve!" She says excitedly. "What time is it?" I ask, my eyes still shut. "8:14." "Millieeeee! I only went to bed at 2am." "Well you should have gone to bed earlier instead of making out with Finn." She teases, making kissy noises. "Eww come on Millie, we've been through this." I say, slightly annoyed. "Yeah yeah, we're 'just friends'. Come on grumpy bum, Sadie made pancakes." I open my eyes at the mention of pancakes and slowly begin to wake up. Once I'm ready Millie drags me down stairs, bringing her speaker with her which is still blasting Christmas themed songs.

You can smell pancakes from halfway down the stairs and I'm practically drooling by the time we enter the kitchen. It seems I was the last one up as everybody else is already in the kitchen and I slide into my usual spot at the breakfast bar next to Finn. He looks exhausted and I ask, "Noah wake you up as well?" "Yup, I didn't end up going to bed until 3am. All I wanted to do was get some sleep." He complains. "I guess Millie had the same idea." I say as Sadie hands us both red and green pancakes topped with maple syrup and whipped cream. We both thank her then dig in.

Halfway through our meal Finn wipes whipped cream on the slide of my face. I gasp and the turn to him, giving a menacing look. While he's laughing at me I grab a can of whipped cream and squirt it on top of his head and take my hand, rubbing it in. It's his turn to gasp now and he grabs the other can of whipped cream and squirts some on top of my head. This is the start if the whipped cream war that caused everyone to evacuate the kitchen and ended in us rolling on the floor laughing, covered whipped cream. We were given a lecture from Millie and were forced to clean the Kitchen.

Finn and I don't really mind since it gives us something to do between now and later tonight when the rest of the kids come home and we go out to the gardens to see the Christmas lights. Once we finish cleaning up we both have a shower and once I'm dressed I head down to the basement. Finn is already sitting on the couch, browsing through Netflix. We eventually decide on a movie and settle down under a blanket, curled up together.

It's around 1pm when the movie finishes and Finn somehow ends up with his head on my lap. I find the remote and turn the TV off then I look down at Finn and ask, "What do you want to do now?" "Not sure." He says. We sit there in a comforting silence for a while, looking into each other's eyes. At one point he breaks it and says, "Do you like anyone?" "What do you mean?" I ask, confused. "Like, are you interested in anyone right now?" "Uhh yeah... I am." My face getting redder by the minute. I can't let him know that it's him. "Really, who?" He says, sitting up. "Um a guy." "Oh." He says. For a moment I think that he looks sad but it why would he be? "Do you?" I ask him, curious. "Um yeah I do on this girl. She's just amazing. She's talented and passionate about what she does and she's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. She's just perfect." He answers. You can see that he really likes her in his eyes. "So why don't you ask her out?" I ask. "She likes someone else." He replies, a disappointed look on his face. "Oh that sucks." I say, feeling bad for him. "Yeah it does." He says and he lays back down on my lap. If only I knew that this girl he was talking about was me.

We lay on the couch for a while, looking around the room for something to do. "Want to play video games?" He asks. "Sure." I say. He sits up and I begin to walk over to the shelf of video games for the PS4 hooked up to the TV. "I don't mean the games down here. Come on, follow me." He says and walks up the stairs to the basement and down the hallway. We stop at the door to 'his' lounge room. He's letting me go in here? I though no one could come in here. When he goes to open the door I say, "I thought no one was aloud in here." "Well I'm letting you in here." He says and opens the door. It's dark and I can't really see anything until he turns on the lights.
