The Strangest Things (Dustin Henderson x reader)

Season 2: MADMAX

Your POV

I've been in Hawkins fore 9-10 months now. It's been great! I've had fun with the guys, doing campaigns and going to the arcade. But, Mike hasn't really been the same since El had gone. I mean, I miss her too. She was my only really friend that was a girl since Sarah and now she's gone too...

It's near to Halloween now. The boys said they wanted to go as the Ghostbusters for Halloween. They boys wanted me to their ghost, but I told them no way and that I wanted to be Cat Woman, so I'm going with that.

It's arcade night and Will and I were gathering quarters and together we had eight dollars. Mom was going to drop us off at Palace Arcade since we weren't allowed to walk or bike there anymore.

Once we got to the Arcade, mom gave Will and I the normal talk. "Okay. So, I'll pick you up in two hours.That's 9:00 on the dot, okay?"
"Okay," Will and I said in unison. "If anything happens,if you need to come home,  just ask them to use their phoneand call home. Okay? Don't-"
"-Walk or bike home, we know." Will said we opened our car doors. "-Okay, but, sweetie--"
"-Mom, we have to go," I spoke up. "Have fun," mom said smiling to the both of us. I nod and Will and I get out of the car and went inside to join our friends. 

We found them by "Dragon Slayer."
"Hey, guys," Will says, greeting the four three dorks by the game system. "Hey guys!" they greeted. "Hi, Y/N." Dustin said to me smiling, showing off his now toothy grin. "Hi, Dustin." I smiled back. 
Things have gotten weird around Dustin and I. I noticed he started sitting or standing closer to me. And ever since his teeth grew in he never stopped smiling at me. And I couldn't stop smiling at him. 

Once the moment was broken between Dustin and I, Dustin put a few quarters in the machine and the game turned on.

"To slay the dragon, use the magic sword." the princess said. "Oh, Jesus!I'm in unchartered territory here, guys," Dustin said, moving the joystick. 
"-Down! Down! Down!" Lucas exclaimed. " I'm going! I'm going!" Dustin exclaimed as he pressed down on the joystick. We were all yelling at him as the game progressed.
"Okay. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up!" Dustin yelled at us. Just then his character caught on fire ant turned to a skeleton. "No. No. No! No! No! No!I hate this overpriced bullshit!   Son of a bitch! Piece of shit!" Dustin yelled as the game came to an end. "You're not nimble enough.But you'll get there one day. But until then,Princess Daphne is still mine," Lucas smirked. "Whatever I'm still topson Centipede and Dig Dug." Dustin said, shrugging the loss off. I patted Dustin on the shoulder. 
"You sure about that?" one of the workers asked. "Sure about what?" Dustin asked.
The worker popped a cheese puff in his mouth and we all exchanged looks before Dustin rushed by us, muttering to himself. "You're kidding me. No, no, no. Move! Move! No, no, no, no,"
He got to the game and screamed even more. "Hey, no! No! No!"
"751,300 points!" Will and I exclaimed in unison. "That's impossible!" Mike exclaimed. "Who is Mad Max?" Dustin asked, turning the worker. "Better than you," the worker replied. Dustin flipped off the worker. "Is it you?" Will asked. " You know I despise Dig Dug." the worker scoffed. "Then, who is it?" I asked. "Yeah, spill it Keith!" Dustin growled. "You want information,then I need something in return."
Keith looked to Mike with a smirk. "No, no, no. No way.You're not getting a date with her." Mike shook his head. "Mike, come on. Just get him the date." Lucas cut in. "I'm not prostituting my sister!"
"Yeah, isn't she still with Harrington?" I asked. Mike nodded. "But it's for a good cause." Lucas pressed on. "No, don't get him the date. Know what?  He's gonna spread his nasty-ass rashto your whole family." Dustin snapped. "Acne isn't a rash and it isn't contagious,you prepubescent wastoid." Keith replied. 
"Oh, I'm a wastoid?She wouldn't go on a date with you.  You make, like, what? $2.50 an hour?"

As the boys continued to argue, I see Will trace off and kept a close eye on him. Just as I see him turn around, I see flashes and black out.
