Taking On Hawkins (ST cast x Reader)(Dustin x Reader)

Chapter 9: Anesthesia

A/N: This chapters writing may make y/n seem super weird but don't worry she's (or I guess YOU are) just under anesthesia at this time so her thoughts/words are all over the place :)

Y/n's POV

I woke up, my mind hazy. My body numb. Something feels different, Where am I?

I began to search the room to find out where I was but all my body and mind seemed to look for was the opportunity to rest. I'm definitely in a hospital but why?

Memories began to flood back to me as I caught glance of my mom rushing to my bedside.

"Hi sweetie! You did so good, we're gonna take you to your room and make sure you're cozy and comfy. Ok baby girl? Alright..."

I could tell my mom had been crying but I was too loopy to try to figure out if it was from happiness or stress.

The 2 nurses I had seen at the desk earlier had gotten up and began to push my hospital bed down a long hallway and to an unfamiliar part of the floor. I tried to get answers but no one was helping...like at all. I began to get frustrated, no one is listening to me!

"Why are we still not at my room? I'm late! We said we were gonna be there by 6, it's 9. By the way, I'm so sorry for hogging all the doctor's around here." I announced solemnly to the nurses pushing me to my room. To which they responded by glancing amongst one another with soft eyes and goofy grins on their face.

I groggily looked to my mom only to find her quietly laughing at me as well. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion at their reactions.

"Y/n, you'll be just fine. They don't have any other surgeries scheduled today so it's ok that you're late." My mom said to me still with a stupid smile on her face.

Why doesn't she understand what I'm saying!

"Honey, you're still on anesthesia so your mind is in a completely different place right now. But I'm certainly glad that the only worry on your mind is getting to your own room on time." She snickered.

So that's why I'm seeing storm clouds and a weird looking...slug? against the wall that we had just passed by. I shrugged it off as a hallucination, I could tell that was one of the first steps to getting back to reality as my mind felt a bit more at ease.

Maybe they do understand what I'm trying to say.

One of the nurses began to talk to my mom. I could only make out bits and pieces as I was fading in and out, heavy with sleep.

"Everything went as planned...fall asleep often on you...meds every 4 hours...aesthesia traces can last up to 3 months in her system though mostly unnoticeable..."

I was clinging onto consciousness as sleep was trying to pull me under its spell. I heard my room's door open and I slowly turned my head to see the smiling faces of my beautiful family. They look so pretty and alive and tall and graceful and... I stopped to think but I have no idea where I was going with that...

"Hey y/n, how ya feeling?" I heard from the tall, calm figure that walked towards my bed.

"Like a dog in a tutu, dad." I tried to smile as my words slurred off my tongue but I'm almost certain it wasn't pretty from my dad's reaction as he stared with wide eyes and a raised eyebrow.

My dad leaned over and whispered to Belle, "Is that a good thing or...?" To which she just shrugged as he turned back towards me.

"Uh, ok. I'm not sure what that feels like but sure goofball, sure..."

"I knew you were weird but not that...crazy?" Belle. Definitely Belle's voice... and attitude.

"Hmpf a little crazy never hurt nobody."

"Well..."

"Hey did you know snickerdoodles are my favorite cookie since it's got 2 of my favorite things in just the name? I love to snicker and I love to doodle!" as I said this, I was sent into a fit a giggles. What drugs am I on.. geez.

" Ok well, now I think you belong in the nuthouse we saw on the drive up here."

"Belle! Apologize right now!" My mom exclaimed as she broke away from her conversation with the nurse.

"What? I didn't mean it." Belle glanced at me and nodded to my heavy eyes. I heard her voice quiet to a whisper right as I nodded off into a deep sleep. "Besides she's already out cold."

A/N: Not my best chapter but I needed a filler for the next one. Heh heh oh what I have in store for the next chapter ;)
