LEVI was sitting across from Dustin in a little diner, swinging his legs childishly under the table and drinking his chocolate milkshake while Dustin watched the boy with a small smile, taking a sip of his soda, trying to ignore the harsh glares from Hopper who sat a few tables away with El, who watched the old man unimpressed.
It had been almost a whole month since everything happened, everyone was coping with the death in their own way whether that was to cry every single moment, or act like it didn't happen.
When the cabin was finally fixed Hopper had taken Joyce on a date, which was cool in Levi's opinion since he helped Hopper pick his outfit. But now the adults were in this awkward stage of not really boyfriend and girlfriend.
They argue a lot, like an old married couple to be honest, and it kinda got on Twelve's nerves so Dustin decided why not ask the boy out?
That's where they are now, but Hopper was sitting nearby just watching them as if they could do anything without getting called out for it.
"So...how has Six been?" Dustin asked, smiling softly as Levi perks up immediately.
"He's good! Happy! He's teaching me to see others!"
"Others?" Dustin raised a brow at the boy.
"Ghosts! It's cool. I met a lot of people, and a dog...it was a sad day." Twelve looked down sadly before he perks up excitedly again making Dustin chuckle. "Oh! Next, we're gonna try to make him visible."
"How d-do you know if you can do that?"
Levi looks at him weirdly, "I did it before! When I was sad because I...wanted to...see you." the boy trailed off, blushing as Dustin stared at him with a smile.
Dustin's heart fluttered, wanting to reach out and grab the boy's hand, but he remembered Hopper was watching them and that they were in public so he just smiled and shared glances with Levi, neither of the boys noticing the small smile on Hopper's face as he watches the young couple.

"Come on, Levi!"
"I can't, Six! It's not working!" Twelve groaned in exhaustion, falling back on his bed, staring up at the glowing star stickers on the ceiling.
It was night time, the boy had come home from the date a few hours ago and since then Six has been making the boy work his ass off. His muscles were aching and burning yet Six wouldn't let him stop.
Six sighed, kneeling down next to the bed and putting his face near Levi's. "Try again. I know you could do it."
Levi turned his head to look at the ghost, "Why do you want me to learn this so badly?"
Six blinked before laughing nervously while scratching the back of his neck as he glanced at Five who was standing near the doorway.
"Is it weird to say I want Hopper to meet me?" Six questioned, his voice growing higher in pitch.
