Stranger Things Imagines

Will Byers: For Myself

NOT A ROMANTIC ONE!

Will's POV

I walked with my best friends Y/n, Mike, Lucas, Dustin, Jane and Max. Y/n was talking with Max and Jane about an arcade game that recently came out called Gradius, I didn't have much interest in it.

Mike looked at me and said, "We need to drop one."

"Drop one what?" Lucas asked.

"Person, from our friend group." He looked across the three girls ahead of us.

"One of the girls?" I looked at Mike in shock as I said that.

"Well yeah... Not El though." He watched Max and Y/n carefully.

Dustin scoffed and said "Of course, you just want to keep your girlfriend in the group... What about Lucas' girlfriend?"

Mike looked at Lucas before saying "Fine, then Y/n can go..."

I looked at him in shock and so did Dustin. We had known Y/n since we were younger. All of us loved her, she was the most like us out of the three girls walking ahead.

Lucas scoffs and says "Why do we have to get rid of someone anyways?"

I sighed at the thought of telling Y/n she couldn't be our friend anymore. She had been through more than I have and I went to another dimension. Mike shrugged and said, "Becuase my mom is scared that they all like me, so we have to get rid of one, carefully eliminating someone could help my mom trust them."

Dustin scoffed and smiled a bit. Mike nodded his head and said, "I'll bear the bad news to her."

I was marvelled by the fact he was actually going to do this. "MIKE!" he walked over to Y/n and brought her aside. I watched Dustin, El, Lucas and Max stand against the lockers and I went with them.

"This isn't a nice thing to do guys." I looked the four over.

"What isn't?" Max asked.

"Mike is dropping Y/n from our friend group," Dustin said before looking at Max and El.

El's face dropped in shock. As did Max's. I sighed and took a quick glance over at the pair by the science lab.

Y/n's POV

"So yeah... We need to drop one of you and we finalized it to you... Sorry Y/n." Mike was staring into my eyes. I just kept a face on as if I didn't care and nodded my head.

"Sure... I get that... I guess." I backed away a bit and he grabbed my hand to pull me into a hug.

He whispers in my ear "I'm really sorry. We can't let-"

"Yours and Lucas' girlfriends go... I get it." I backed away.

He looked at me with tears in his eyes before saying "That's not it, really. Please let me explain the-"

I walked away before he could ask to explain. I knew this would happen which was totally fine. I guess.

Will's POV

Mike came over to us and El looked at him pissed off. "You dropped her?" she asks.

He grabs her shoulders and says "Please don't be mad El..."

She growls a bit and storms off. I sigh and lean against the locker as Max chases after her. "Way to go, Mike..." I say looking up at him.

He looks down at me and asks "Why is she so upset about it?"

I laugh sarcastically and say "Because El doesn't LIKE Max! She LIKES Y/n! That's THE ONLY REASON SHE IS HANGING OUT WITH MAX SO FUCKING MUCH! JESUS MIKE! NOW EVERY MOMENT IN YOUR BASEMENT IS GONNA BE AWKWARD! YOUR MOM IS GOING TO CONSTANTLY BE QUESTIONING WHERE THE FUCK Y/N IS AND YOU ARE GONNA HAVE TO TELL HER YOU DROPPED HER OFF INTO LOSERVILLE!" I walked away and he called after me. I didn't turn around though. I went towards the exit of the school and burst through the doors.

I looked to my left when I got out to see Y/n reading "Skeleton Crew" by Stephen King. I walked over to her and stood in front of her for a second before saying "Y/n?"

She looked up at me, her e/c eyes glaring nicely from the sunlight behind me. I sat down next to her and she continued to watch my movements.

I grabbed her book from her hands and closed it to ask "Do you want to come over later?"

"Will Mike be there?" She asked leaning against the tree to face me.

"No... He won't." I say before looking into her eyes. She sighs and says a simple "then sure" before opening her book again.

I smile a bit and rub her leg before heading off to class.

After school, I run into my house and clean a few things up. My mom comes out of her room and asks "Will? Sweetie? What're you doing?"

"Y/n is coming over!" I yell and she laughs a bit.

"You should be cleaning your room then. If you two are hanging out, clean your room?" I heard her loud and clear and messed up the living room again before running down the hall to my mom. I heard my mom call out "WILL!" and I yelled back an apology before making my bed.

I was finishing up cleaning my room and was placing my comics on my desk before the doorbell rang. I smiled a bit and ran out into the hallway to see Jonathan at the door. "JONATHAN IT'S MY FRIEND NOT YOURS!"

He jumped and I pushed him out of the way causing him to laugh. I opened the door and Y/n was standing there with her hat, gloves and scarf around her body. Her coat was long and she was clearly wearing a dress underneath. The same one she was wearing at school earlier. I smiled seeing my friend and opened the door wider saying "Come in."

"HEY Y/N!" I heard my mom from the kitchen.

"HI JOYCE!" She called back. I took her hat off her head and she laughed. I threw it in the basket of hats, scarves and mitts. I took he scarf off and did the same with it. She took her gloves off and put them in the basket herself.

Jonathan took her coat and she thanked him before I dragged her to my room. I opened the door and she laughed as I pushed her in. I closed the door and went to my closet to grab my art stuff. I place it all over the floor and she sits on the floor with me.

After around 2 hours of us sitting in my room, we had plates of lasagna next to us, the majority of them consumed while we continued to draw. I looked at her sitting there drawing a rose with my pencil before saying "I'm sorry... I really am... I just want to know..."

She looked up at me with tears in her eyes and I asked: "How do you feel about this?"

She shrugged and said "Not too good... But you gotta get over this kind of shit... I guess."

I smiled and said "Well... Um... I can fix it. In the meantime though" I scooted closer to her and pulled her into a side hug saying "I'll always be here for you."

She smiled and looked up at me hugging me back saying "Thanks. You're all I really need."

I hugged her closer and smiled. I might not fix it just so I can keep my best friend to myself.
