D&D | Will Byers x Reader

Chapter 5

I stand against the wall in Mike's basement, surrounded by boys sitting in various places. A game of D&D had been tossed across the ground from when Mike refused to play with Will and I. Now, no one can play.

"What did I even do wrong? I did nothing wr-" Mike starts but I get fed up with the arguing.

"You lied to her Mike. And from a girl who has counciled many of her friends relationships, I must say that girls don't appreciate their boyfriend's lying to them all that much. They'd prefer them too be honest, unless it's about if they look fat in their jeans of course." I smile while walking over to Will and sitting next to him on the table where D&D was once set up. I rest my head on his shoulder.

"I didn't mean to lie to her!" Mike shouts, "Wait... Y/N?"

"Yes?" I question confused. I swear, he's about to kill me isn't he?

"Your a girl right?" What a dumb question.

"I've got tits don't I?" Will laughs nervously and Lucas rolls his eyes and looks away in disappointment. Mike ignores my statement, he looks like his up to something or onto something.

"Okay, well. Can you help us- I mean me- out?" He asks, hopeful. I sigh.

"I guess. What do you need to know?" Mike musters up a small smile and walks over too me from the staircase. I put both my hands on Will's shoulder and cuddle into it, turning away from Mike slightly.

"I want to know... Hold on." He turns around and lays down on the couch, opening a bag of chips and shoving them into his face. Stress eating? Great tactic. I roll my eyes. "How do you know what girls want? Their like a whole different species."

"Offensive much. But uh, you don't know. If a girl says their fine, they're probably not so kiss them and tell them everything will be ok and that they can tell you anything. If it doesn't work and they get really mad, give them space. If it is something like 'I'm hungry', bring them food. 'I'm in the mood for cuddles, give them cuddles. That's just how it works." I try to explain.

"Well, that's sounds easy enough." Mike says, smiling devilishly.

"You wish." I say. Mike stands up and goes towards the phone, "No! Not yet Mike."

"Why not?" He asks confused, his hand still outstretched towards the phone.

"If you call, you'll sound desperate. El won't want to talk to you so soon, and Max, well she'll probably pick up instead and tell you to go away. So wait a day or two." Mike shrugs and sits back down.

Silence fills the room. I get up and look at all the stuff along the walls of the basement, then help Will clean up and pack away the D&D game scattered across the floor.

*burppppppp*

I look over at Mike who was highfiving Lucas. Oh god. I've had a brother all my life, I know what's next. I pull my shirt up to cover my mouth and nose and Will does the same after he sees me and nods his head as to say thanks.

*phrrrrrrrrrrbbbbbppppp* (How do you write a far noise lmao)

Will and I swap a disgusted glance before running up the stairs and out of the basement, locking the door behind us. We slide down the door. I look over at Will who looks back at me. It doesn't take long before we're both rolling on the floor in a fit of laughter and tears.

--Five Minutes Later--

Will and I finally both stop laughing and calm down. I wipe the tears from my eyes and sit back against the door, next to Will. With one final giggle, I lay my head down on his shoulder and hug him close to me.
