NOT KIDS ANYMORE {Will Byers x reader}

Going Down?

-No one's pov-

YN refused to talk to anyone, not a single word was said. Dustin was worried and wanted to help, but didn't know how. So he hoped that keeping her occupied with something else, might help her feel better.

- Will pov-

Castle Byers was gone. I ripped it apart.

But, that's when I felt it. The goosebumps on the back of my neck, the feeling I had when the Mind Flayer was still in me.

I messed up, I hurt her. How could I be so stupid. She's the only one who helped me . . . through everything. To me, she is everything.

So why? Why did I yell at her, why did I say those things to her?

I sigh and look at the floor of Mike's basement. Lucas and Mike speaking on the radio in the background. I lay my hand on the back of my neck and lay the other on my forehead.

'YN, I don't know if you can hear me. But I'm sorry, I really didn't mean anything I had said before. . . I was just mad, and upset with Mike and Lucas, not with you. You were just trying to help, and I pushed you away. . . I shouldn't have done that. I-I'm really sorry, and I shouldn't have said any of those things. . . You really mean everything to me, and we need you. . . I need you.'

-Your pov-

"So, you want me to climb into this vent, go into some storeroom, and unlock the door for you?" Erica says as she looks up at the vent.

"Yeah, so you think you can do it?" Steve asks.

"Yes, but I just want you to understand, if I do this, I get a Lifetime supply of free ice cream. Okay?" Erica says.

"Correct." Robin says.

I sigh as Dustin looks at me again.

"Why don't you just go home? Get some rest, I don't want you to get hurt on accident." He whispers to me as Steven and Robin help Erica into the vent.

"Dustin, I'm fine. And besides, I'm the only one who can actually do something to protect us. And I can't just leave you here." I say, my voice slightly sore from me crying beforehand.

He sighs and nods.

"Okay, let's go to the roof." Steve says after they shut the vent with Erica inside.

We all start heading towards the stairs, Dustin and Steve leading the way.

"Hey, are you okay?" Robin asks softly.

I look over at her and nod. "Yeah, I'm okay."

She nods, thankfully not prying anymore.

The stairs get slightly darker and I hold up my hand, lighting a small ball of fire in the middle of my palm. I hear Robin softly chuckle, and I can't help but smile.

"What are you doing, put that out!" Steve whispers to me.

"No, I don't want to trip!" I whisper back.

I see him roll his eyes before turning back around and opening the door.
We walk out and I extinguish the flame.

"How long do you think it's gonna take for her to open it?" I ask Dustin.

He shrugs. "Hopfully not to long."

- No one's pov-

And a few minutes later, the door opens and Erica stands in the middle with her arms crossed.

"Life time of free Ice Cream!" She shouts.

"She did it, she really did it." Steve says.

YN and Dustin nod.

"Now let's get down there." Robin says.

-Your pov-

I feel the hairs on my neck shoot up as goosebumps raise on my neck and arms. Fear shoots through me, but I refuse to show it.

<insert Will's apology>

I can hear him again. . . Why?

I didn't talk for a bit as we walked into the storage room. My mind overwhelmed and very confused.

I sigh as my heart aches for Will, knowing that he truly didn't mean what he said. That it was just him sad and angry.

'. . . . . I forgive you.' I say in my mind.

I can barely register the door shutting behind me as I hear him reply.

'YN! YN where are you? I'm so sorry I didn't mean it I swear, it was just-'

'I know.'

My eyes widen in panic, as I hear click of a lock and I look over at Robin, Steve, Erica, and Dustin.

'YN, can you co- Mike's? YN? Y- there?'

And then, the room becomes an elevator and it starts to fall.

"Aaaaahhhhhhhh!" Everyone began to scream as we fell.

"Why did I agree to help you idiots?!" Erica screamed.

"Because you wanted free Ice Cream!!" Robin yells.

"We're all going to die!" I yell dramatically.

And then the elevator stopped, and I faceplanted into the ground, very painfully.

"Oww, that hurts." I say as I slowly roll over onto my back.

"Is everyone okay?" Steve groans.

"Just peachy." I hear Robin say.

We all go silent as we gather our will to get up and move around. Dustin gets up first and goes to my side and helps me up.

"Your bleeding." He says as I stand up and hold my head, trying to see if it will calm my headache.

I hear my ears pop and I wince. I pull my hand back from my forehead, and lightly touch my nose.

"Its not broken. Just bleeding slightly." I answer as I lightly wipe the blood away with my hand.

Robin gets up next and limps over to me, still clearly dizzy from what just happened. She pulled out a small tissue and grabs my chin. She carefully wipes the blood away and I watch crossed eyed as she does so.

"Maybe we can climb out." Dustin says.

Steve nods as I thank Robin, who busts shrugs it off.

I watch as Steve gets onto the table and starts to open the small door on the ceiling.

"What do you think that stuff is?" I ask Robin, pointing to the green tube.

She shrugs. "What ever it is, they want it. And they want a lot of it."

I nod and I hear the door open, and I hear Steve groan.

"Climbing out is impossible." He says as he crawls onto the top of the elevator. He sticks his hand down for Dustin to grab, and starts pulling Dustin up.

"Oh shit." I hear Dustin say.

I get onto the table and Dustin and Steve pull me up. I look up and notice how it seems to go on and on forever, no end in sight.

"Oh shit sticks." I whisper.
