"You know why I hate you, Harrington?"
Steve shrugged.
"You let your friends tell everyone I killed her," Dakota's voice broke on the last word, both sharing a knowing look as Steve's face melted into a grimace, sorrow seeping into his eyes as he looked away from her scorching gaze for a second.
"You bullied me off the swim team," Dakota added, watching as his shoulders slumped defeatedly, as if he was expecting to be yelled at. She couldn't help the satisfaction rolling off her with each painful word.
"You took away my best friend, who now, isn't even my friend anymore because she blames me for everything," The girl's voice rose as her voice shook with anger.
"And you made everyone call me that stupid fucking nickname for all of middle school."

⚠️THIS IS A SLOWBURN⚠️
Season 2 -
Y/N Henderson lived a secluded and plain sailing life, but when your younger brother Dustin blackmails you into joining a D&D game with none other than Eddie Munson, it turns your whole world...upside down...
*Femme reader*
I keep Y/N image descriptions as vague as possible, the most will be how they are dressed if it's relevant to the storyline and any description of 'perfect' means it's how Eddie sees you, not societies standard of perfection.
*Story fits with season 4 but gives Eddie the ending he deserves and the one I think we all hope he gets in season 5*
**This story really was a labour of love so I appreciate all the views, votes and comments from all of you. Even as a D&D player a lot of research went into this so knowing how many of you love the story really makes me happy :)**
