AS SOON AS THEY ALL ARRIVED AT THE BYERS HOUSE, Daniel sprinted out of Hopper's truck, pushing past everyone else trying to get out. He got out right as Mike was getting out of Jonathan's car. The curly-haired boy caught the other's eye and he was running. He pulled Mike into a tight hug, pulling apart only when Mike pressed a kiss to his lips. Normally, Daniel would have a problem with his boyfriend kissing him out in the open in front of everyone, but right now, it was what he needed. He didn't give a shit what anyone else thought right now because his world was a mess and the only thing keeping him sane had been the thought of seeing Mike again. All worries of jealousy or whatever were squashed when Mike kissed him again and again.
"I was so worried," Daniel mumbled, shoving his face into the crook of Mike's neck, "I hadn't heard from you, no one had!"
"I know, I know, I'm sorry," Mike muttered, hugging Daniel just as tightly.
Steve hit the side of Hopper's truck to get their attention as everyone else was heading back inside, "Hey, lovebirds, one of your friends is possessed and your sister is bleeding out, let's get down to business."
His tone was joking, but the underlying stress in his voice was hidden by nothing. Apparently, the creatures now had a body count and they were unstoppable. From what Daniel heard Hopper discussing with Steve, they even got to Misses Byers's boyfriend, Bob. Daniel had met him once at the beginning of the school year, but that was it. He seemed nice enough, though, Joyce had needed someone nice in her life. This situation, if it wasn't bad enough, just seemed to keep getting worse and worse. The boys headed inside, Daniel observing the nightmare that was the cluster of drawings taped all over the house. He turned to where Will was lying on the couch, Jonathan leaning over him and whispering. Last he checked, Will was just a little shaken up, not feeling well, but according to Hopper, he was possessed by some creature from the Upside Down. Nancy and Veronica were behind Jonathan, the Wheeler girl with one hand on Jonathan's shoulder and the other wrapped around Veronica. Apparently, something had developed there, too, so Daniel must be really out of the loop. Hopper was on the phone with someone while Steve leaned against the wall, watching as Joyce tried her best to patch up Heather's leg with her first aid kit since the teenager insisted on staying. She was laying on the counter while the woman worked and the kids were all seated around the kitchen table. There weren't enough seats so Mike and Daniel shared. Now that things were out in the open, they could do whatever they wanted.
After Hopper hung up, Dustin was the first to break the tense silence as usual, "They didn't believe you, did they?"
Hopper just turned to face them with an intense look on his face, "We'll see."
"I've been through too much trauma for a fifteen-year-old," Daniel sighed, resting his head on Mike's shoulder softly.
Hopper squinted at the two, "So are you two, eh..."
