an: this includes the byler fight scene but it may not have the exact dialogues because i couldn't understand well what it said haha, enjoy <3
(also, idk how to actually put dts but dt to Jazzy_lxsver and foah_bxler )

it was a rainy day in the middle of summer, the summer before will byers and his friends finally became high schoolers, thing that didn't enthusiasted will as much as it did to his other friends.

going to high school meant more responsibility, have to meet new people, more stress, it meant he had to grow up.

after a long while, the brunette boy could finally convince lucas and mike to play d&d with him, and for what it seemed, it was probably the last time they would play.

he was in mike's basement, along with...mike of course, lucas, and richie, who was the freckled boy's brother, almost as identical as two rain drops, but you could easily differnce richie from mike due to his clothes decisions and the thick glassed that adorned his face.

richie wasn't playing with the others however, he didn't even know how, he just sat in the basement's couch while he ate a bag of cheetos and watched how the others were playing.

he would normaly be outside hanging out with his group of friends, but it was basically storming outside and his mom won't let him leave, so he had no other choice than watch those nerds (including his friend, will) playing while he chewed (maybe too loudly) his junk food.

"you guys hear that?" will's soft voice asked at the two boys in front of him.

a thunder sounded outside, which made everyone jump a bit, everyone but will, who was now too focused on his character.

"sounds like...thunder, but no! wait! that's not thunder, it's...a horde of zombies!" he exclaimed excitedly while he smashed one of the game pieces against the game board.

a song was dramatically playing from a small boombox that was placed on top of the table, giving the game a best experience, or at least that's what will thought.

"sir mike, your action" the brunette said in a fake wizard tone while expecting mike's movement.

"what should i do?" mike carelessly asked to lucas, who was sitting next to him.

"tag?" this one suggested without even thinking about it twice.

mike decided to follow lucas' suggestion and did his move.

"whoosh, you messed" the brunette one said as soon as the taller one made his move.

will then threw two dices on the table.

"they bite your arm, it tears, arghh, seven points of damage" he said, trying to hold on his character even when he felt like his two friends were just silently judging him.

"oh no my arm, lucas look my arm" mike said teasingly, holding his arm while he chuckled at the end of his sentence, so did lucas, but will tried to hold an eye roll and just keep with the campaign.

"sir lucas" will said now turning his attention to his other friend, hoping this one would take the game more serious.

all while he tried to ignore richie's loud chewing, who was still looking at them with a slight frown on his face while he was laying on the couch.
