Stranger Things - Steve Harrington X Reader

Chapter 7: The Bite

We are in one of the car things they use to transport the boxes. This one has a cage around the back they Steve and I are in. We go over a bump and we are thrown around slightly.

"Jesus, slow down!" Steve slurs.

"Yeah, what is this, like, the Indy 500?" I slur.

"It's the Indy 300." Steve corrects me.

"No, dingus, it's 500!" I argue.

"It's 300!" Steve argues back as he holds up three fingers.

"Let's day a million." I suggest and we laugh loudly at that.

"What is wrong with them?" Erica asks.

"I don't know." Dustin answers as he drives.

"Dustin, watch out!" Erica calls to him and we suddenly screech to a stop, hitting something along the way, causing Steve and I to be jerked forward and we hit our head on the caging. We both groan in pain.

"You guys alright back there?" Dustin asks as he turns to us, Erica turning as well. We only groan in response. "They're fine." Dustin says before he and Erica get out.

They open the door on the back so that we can get out. "Come on. We gotta go, now." Dustin says and we slowly get up in pain. They start yelling at us to hurry and so we do.

We stumble into the elevator and we go up. I grab the cart thing that hauls loads of boxes and Steve stands on it. As we go up I push him around and he whoops as I laugh.

"Hey! You look like you're surfing!" I call out over the whirring sound of the elevator.

"Surfing! Yeah!" Steve says 'surfing' with me, knowing what I was gonna say. "Woah! Ahaha! I'm a natural! Check it out!"

I pull it and Steve falls off as I laugh. "Wipeout!" I point my hands to him and laugh and Steve starts laughing with me.

Dustin crouches beside Steve and puts his hand on his forehead, Steve trying to get him away. "He's burning up."

"You're burning up." Steve retorts as I sit down with a concerned look on my face.

Dustin forcefully opens Steve's good eye as Steve tries to stop him. He lets go and turns to Erica. "His pupils are super dilated."

"Maybe he's drugged." Erica suggests.

Dustin turns back to Steve and Steve boops Dustin's nose saying, "Boop!"

Dustin taps Steve's face. "Steve, are you drugged?"

"How many times, Dad? I don't do drugs. It's only marijuana." Steve says before bopping Dustin's nose again.

"This isn't funny, okay? I need to know what they did to you." Dustin says as Steve laughs and itches his nose. "Are you gonna die on us?"

"Boop." Steve says as he boops Dustin's nose again.

"We all die, my strange little child friend." I say as I play with my hair. "It's just a matter of how... and when." Dustin stares at me for a second before looking back at Steve.

"They're gonna be looking for us up there, so I need guy to tell me where you parked your car."

"Oh, can we mark a pit stop at the food court?" Steve asks, his eyes becoming more bloodshot by the minute.

"I would kill for a hot dog on a stick." I say, feeling extremely hungry.

"Ooh!" Steve hums.

"Alright. Yeah, food. Yes, you can have as much food as you want," Dustin says as I get extremely excited, "but only if you tell me where your car it parked."
