NOT KIDS ANYMORE {Will Byers x reader}

Break ups

- Your pov-

"Come on YN, we need to get to Scoops to figure out the Russian words!" Dustin yelled as I slip on and tie my converse.

"Just one second Dusty, and done. Now we can go. You got the recording?" I ask.

He nods. "Check. You got the book for translations?"

I pull the book out of my back pocket and nod. "Check. Let's go." I say as I stuff the book back into my pocket.

We walk out and get on our bikes and head for the mall.

"Have you always snuck out?" Dustin asks.

My bike swerves as I jolt in shock. "H-how did you-"

"I heard you dump your bike in the morning. You should be more quieter in the morning." He says.

I nod and feel my face heat up.

"So, how long have you been sneaking out?" He asks.

I glance at him before looking straight ahead. Seeing Starcourt in the distance.

"Ever since I've been back." I say softly.

"WHAT!" He yells surprised.

"You've been sneaking out for 8 months! Where have you been going!?" Dustin asks, his voice raised.

I sigh and slow down so we can park our bikes. "I've been going to Will's." I answer.

I put my bike in the bike rack and look to see Dustin's face full of shock, anger and something else.

"Why!? You see him all day every day!!"

"Because Dustin! I spent 3 years in a place where there was no one there to comfort me! And when Will was there, I felt safe! He makes me forget what I went through! He makes me feel normal and happy! And I can't sleep without him there next to me! Because, that's when I start to remember everything!" I yell.

Dustin stares at me shocked. My hair blows into my face slightly, and I brush my firey curly locks behind my ear.

"He makes the memorys stay buried. Him by my side, makes everything else go away. And I need him Dustin, I love him." I whisper, before I look at the ground with my arms crossed underneath my chest.

Silence fills the air between us as people pass us by.

"You called me Dustin. You've always called me Dusty......." He whispers.

I glance up at him and notice his face was sad.

"Does he really help you that much?" He asks looking at me.

"Yeah, yeah he does. But I've never told him or anyone that." I state.

Dustin nods. "Alright, I'll keep it a secret from Mom. Just promise me you'll be safe and always be back at 8."

I smile and Dustin returns it. "Yeah, I promise to be back by 8. Thanks a lot Dusty." I say, giving him a hug.

He hugs me back. "Anything for you sis. Now let's go get this translated."

I nod and we pull away and walk into the mall. We walk towards Scoops Ahoy, where Steve and Robin works. And can I just say, Robin is awesome!

I see something in the corner in my eye, I stop and look to see . . . . Max and Eleven?

I blink but they're gone. I stare at the clothing store for a while before shrugging it off as my imagination.

I chase after Dustin, who surprisingly didn't notice me gone, but then I see something else.
