STRANGER THINGS IMAGINES

Everyone huddled around me, family and friends as I smiled and laughed as they began to sing happy birthday. Not to me, but my best friend, Joe Keery. I sang along, but I couldn't keep in the giggles and smiles of Joe's awkwardness. The boy always got awkward whenever someone sang happy birthday to him. I guess we all did too, though.

Joe smiled at me as I sat next to him, his cake in front of him, and about 30 or 40 of his friends around, all celebrating him.

"Happy birthday to youuuuuuuu." I laughed as I looked at him while singing the last line, and he smiled back.

"Blow out your candles!" I whispered, and I saw some nods of agreement flow around the room. Joe glanced at me, my lips, and then blew out his candles.

I clapped, instantly hugging him, "Happy Birthday."
He hugged me back, his brown, luscious hair shifting across my cheeks.
"That's the 10th time you've said that today." Joe mumbled into my shoulder, and I laughed a loud laugh.

I shrugged but, pulling away from him, "True."

"Joe muthafreaking Keery!" I heard a loud voice in the crowd. Joe smiled brightly when he saw Gaten make his way around the others, trying to get to his friend.

The hugged, and Gaten waved at me. I waved back, "Hey, Gaten."

He nodded, "Y/n."

I tapped Joe's shoulder as he began talking to Gaten, "I'm gonna go to the bathroom."

He nodded.

I walked through the crowd, in the direction of Joe's guest bathroom.

I walked in and took a look at my hair. It was okay. I shrugged to myself. Who even cared?

Then, I heard a knock on the door.

"Just a minute!" I yelled and began pulling bobby pins out of my hair to re-do it.

"It's me." I heard Joe say on the other side of the door.

"Oh, come in."

He walked in, hands in his pocket, and just leaned on the door, watching me fix my hair.

"What?" I smiled at him.

Joe shrugged, a smirk on his face, "You wanna know what I wished for?"

I shook my head as he stood up and walked towards me, "It won't come true then."

Joe smiled, "I think it will."

"Still, dont tell me."

I sighed as I fit the last bobby pin in there, and turned to him. Joe was about half a meter away from me, and my forehead scrunched together at the closeness.

"What are you doing?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

Joe grabbed my face and kissed me before I could protest. It felt amazing. I kissed back, and Joe's arms wiggled their way around my waist and he set them on my back, while I put mine on his shoulders.

He pulled back first and rested his head on mine.

"Guess what."

"What?" I asked.

"My wish came true."
