LEVI WATCHED IN AMUSEMENT as Steve and Dustin tried to fit the ‘Demo-dog’ in the Byers family’s fridge, it wrapped in a blanket as Dustin poured everything out the fridge onto the floor.
“Is this necessary?” Steve asked, holding the demo-dog in his arms causing them to ache.
“Yes, it is, okay? This is a groundbreaking scientific discovery. We can’t just bury it like some common mammal, okay? It’s not a dog!” Dustin rambled.
Twelve furrowed his brows, “But you said Demo-dog?”
Steve and Dustin looked towards the confused boy, “Do you know what a dog is Lev?” Dustin asked, pursing his lips.
The blue-eyed boy thought for a second before finally shaking his head, causing Dustin to sigh even though he was smiling inside.
“I have a lot to teach you,” he mumbled as Steve put the slimy creature in the refrigerator.
“You’re explaining this to Mrs. Byers, all right?” Steve stated, stuffing the creature in having a little trouble causing Dustin to help him.
Levi giggled as the slimy being almost fell on top of the two boys before they were able to close the door with sighs in relief.
Twelve frowned when he heard pacing, walking slowly into the living room he saw Mike stomping around with a look of worry on his face, and the boy knew he was scared for El.
Lucas looked up from sweeping the glass off the floor, sighing at his friend, “Would you just stop already?”
Mike abruptly stopped, turning towards the boy, “You weren’t there, Lucas. That lab is swarming with hundreds of those dogs.”
Levi shuttered closing his eyes in fear for Hopper and El as he gripped onto the strap of the backpack he was wearing.
Dustin had found him a spare backpack somewhere, and given it to the boy when Levi revealed his new plushies, Yoonie and Draco, Dustin knew Levi wouldn’t be able to carry them all so he gave the blue-eyed boy a bag.
“Demo-dogs!” Dustin shouted from behind Twelve as he and Steve walked out of the kitchen.
“The chief will take care of her,” Lucas exclaimed.
“Like she needs protection.” Max and Five said simultaneously, Five smirked at the redhead causing her to chuckle with a blush as Lucas shook his head at the two with a smile.
“Listen, dude, a coach calls a play in a game, bottom line, you execute it. Alright?” Steve sighed coming up to stand behind Twelve, placing a hand on his shoulder as Dustin stood next to him.
Mike squinted at the older boy, “Okay, first of all, this isn’t some stupid sports game. And second, we’re not even in the game. We’re on the bench.”
