IT WAS NOW NIGHTTIME, Levi, El, and Five were in the living room. El was watching something on the t.v while Twelve was playing with Ben and Lucy, which was the teddy bear that Five found while cleaning. Five was sitting on the couch next to Eleven reading a book, glancing at the clock on the wall.

Five sighed, setting the book in his lap, rubbing his eyes glancing at the watch seeing the time. He looked towards Levi as the blue-eyed boy talked to mid-air, still weirded out that Levi could talk to his dead best friend who was just chilling around without a care in the world.

Eleven and Five looked at each other as the radio went off, signaling Hopper was trying to communicate.

Eleven ran towards the radio, listening to the beeps, looking at the paper above it that was the alphabet in Morse code.

dot, dash, dot, dot

"L"

dot, dash

"A"

dash

"T"

dot

"E"

"Late." Five mumbled, glaring, his arms crossed as he walks up to stand next to the girl.

El glared at the radio, turning it off completely. Five put a hand on the girl's shoulder, squeezing, knowing the girl was hiding her anger. The two share a look though and both turned to Levi who was playing and talking to the empty space next to him, oblivious to what was happening.

They both hated it when Hopper was late, especially when he promised he would be over. They both take it hard, but Levi takes it hardest.

He's the most insecure out of the three. El and Five understand that Jim has work and a life. Twelve, on the other hand, gets insecure and thinks Jim is being late on purpose because the older man doesn't like him, or thinks he's annoying and regrets taking him in. Which is absurd because it's quite the opposite.

El nods before walking back to the couch, turning the Michael Myers movie on as Five crouched beside Levi, smiling tightly, with a solemn look on his face.

"Hey, T…" Five said softly, Levi looked at the boy with concern filled eyes.

"Hmm?"

Five put a hand on Levi's back, rubbing it slightly. "Want to watch Michael?"

Twelve furrowed his brows, looking around the cabin, before turning back to Five. "Hop?"

Five clenched his jaw, smiling sadly. "No, buddy. Not today."

Twelve felt his heart clench, looking down with a frown, staring blankly into space as thoughts flooded his mind. "T? Lev? You okay?"

Levi flinched when he heard 'Lev' fall from the green-eyed boy's lips, remembering Dustin only called him that. Twelve snapped out of thought, turning to Six as the ghost spoke.
