****Sequel to Smells Like Teen Angst**** Six months have passed since the incident with the Upside Down and for Dylan, they've been pretty fantastic months-his friends were safe, El was starting to fit into the real world, days were filled with kisses upon kisses with Mike, and even Billy was actually learning how to be happy again. Everything takes a turn for the worse though, when the Mind Flayer decides to make its return-and it's NOT happy with how it left things off. With a vengeful essence and even more power than before, Dylan's hatred for the inter-dimensional shadow monster turns personal when it vindicates someone he loves dearly-and one thing that should be known is that you do not fuck with Dylan's loved ones and expect to get away with it. OR In which the Mind Flayer is coming for El's head, but Dylan is coming for its whole life. Mike x Male OC

Dylan Hargrove: the grungy, angsty, jaded younger brother of ever-so infamous dickhead Billy Hargrove. Has the hotness, genetics and appeal that could easily make him an uber popular fuckboy/bad boy in this new town (at least in his grade), but instead decides to use his spare time helping some random nerds fight monsters, unpossessing their friend from the leader of said monsters, trying to fix his brother's dickiness, and pursuing (cough cough, annoying, aggravating) a stubborn boy that claims to despise both him and his stepsister. Or, in other words: Mike Wheeler adamantly denying his growing feelings for an incredibly attractive boy with a habit of drowning himself oversized sweaters. Mike x Male OC
