*  doug  was  held  back  a  year,  as  his  birthday  falls at  the  very  beginning  of  the  year  it  makes  him older  than  most  of  his  peers  placing  him  at  19.

*  raised  with  the  art  of  religion  dangled  over  his  head  he  was  taught  to  obey  by  the  good  book.  his  mother  was  out  of  the  picture  and  his  father  left  him  at  home  with  a  butler  that  ended  up  being  more  of  a  babysitter  when  his  father  wasn't  around.
            
            when  doug  began  acting  out  in  elementary  he  was  scolded,  forced  to  stay  for  detention.  summer  school,  and  his  father  would  be  called.  in  the  event  his  father  picked  up  the  phone  he  didn't  seem  to  have  a  care  in  the  world  so  apart  from  school  he  never  faced  true  repercussions  for  his  actions.
            
            in  regular  classes  not  everyone  took  doug's  mouthy  tendencies.  a  group  of  older  boys  actively  beating  him  to  a  pulp  on  school  grounds.  after  enduring  so  much  he  reached  his  breaking  point  where  he  vowed  to  be  the  predator  as  opposed  to  the  prey.  over  the  next  few  weeks  each  bully  of  his  would  die.  all  in  horrible,  witnessless  accidents.  
            
            he  was  pulled  from  regular  classes  and  placed  into  a  classroom  for  the  druggies  and  the  deviants.  although  the  idea  of  placing  all  the  poorly  behaved  all  together  was  controversial  amongst  the  staff  and  community  as  a  whole.  isolation  could  never  be  the  answer.
            
            from  freshmen  year  to  senior ( current unless stated otherwise ) he befriended several guys like him. together  doug  and  his  crew  of  four  pick  at  any  new  student  placed  in  the  program  lovingly  coined  animal  classroom  or  '  animal  room  '  respectively. 
            
            doug  hid  behind  the  bible,  behind  the  word  of  god  despite  all  his  horrible  unholy  actions  as  it  was  how  he  was  taught. do first  and  beg  for  forgiveness  later.

* iris  walked  out  of  the  front  door  with  dustin  and  a  big  grin  on  her  face.  her  mother  calling  out  to  them  to  be  safe  and  not  to  do  anything  stupid. *  always  good  to  be  fashionably  late,  right?  * she  hummed *  you  look  very  handsome  tonight,  by  the  way  * she  then  realized  what  she  said  and  went  slightly  red *  not  that  you  usually  don't,  you  know  what  I  mean??  * if  anyone  took  iris  to  prom,  she  would  rather  it  be  dustin  henderson  himself,  the  only  boy  she  would  trust  with  her  life  after  everything *
            
            / thats  not  fair  you  answered  RIGHT  after  I  fell  asleep  /lh  wait  how  should  they  get  to  the  school

  ⁽  dustin  was  almost  running  behind  as  his  mother  had  to  snap  a  dozen  pictures  of  him  before  he  left  and  cry  about  how  handsome  and  grown  up  he  was.  but,  he  loved  his  mother  so  she  got  a  pass  after  all  he  was  her  one  and  only  she  had  a  right  to  be  emotional.  his  other  hand  came  up  and  patted  hers,  upon  receiving  the  kiss  on  the  cheek  he  grinned.  as  far  as  he  was  concerned  he  was  talking  the  most  beautiful  girl  in  hawkins  to  prom.  ⁾  yeah  let's  go.  i  think  the  rest  of  the  group  is  already  waiting.

            @druidelions 

* a  bright  smile  formed  on  her  face  at  dustin's  compliment  and  his  chivalrous  action,  then  she  grabbed  onto  his  arm *  why  thank  you,  sir  dustin  * she  teased,  feeling  a  bit  bold,  she  leaned  over  and  quickly  pecked  his  cheek  before  pulling  herself  back  right  afterwards,  purse  slung  over  one  shoulder.  she  didnt  think  that  she  was  forgetting  anything,  and  there  was  no  reason  to  wait  if  they  both  didnt  need  anything  else *  lets  go  then  * she  happily  ( kind  of  ordered ) *
            
            //  taking  the  homegirl  to  prom  core

* gentle  hands  helped  to  tug  dustin  up  so  he  was  sitting  up,  and  not  laying  down  anymore.  she  glanced  over  at  the  grave  of  their  former  friend  eddie  munson,  still  vandalized  from  andy  and  his  goons  using  snake  blood. *  my  god . . .

  uuuuuuuuugggghhh..  ⁽  something  between  a  groan  and  a  gurgle  as  he  struggled  to  sit  up,  eventually  after  his  head  stopped  spinning  a  little  less  he  sat  upright. ⁾  tis  but  a  scratch.  ⁽  came  his  reply,  followed  by  a  wonky  smile.  trying  to  keep  the  humor  in  it.  ⁾   ill  give  you  one  guess  as  to  what  happened.

it  doesnt  stand  out  that  much!!  * it  was  bright  pink  in  a  more  dull  and  pastel  room,  it  looked  like  it  was  made  to  stand  out.  iris  looked  over  at  it  once  again  then  back  over  at  dustin *  f͟i͟n͟e͟,  only  'cause  I'm  feeling  nostalgic  as  well  though  * she  drank  some  more  water,  swallowing  it *

   it's  a  pink  and  glittery  it  stuck  out.  ⁽   carefully  he  placed  it  into  his  lap  and  his  fingers  tracked  over  the  rough  cover.  it  was  clear  a  much  younger  iris  had  a  ball  decorating  this.  ⁾  it  doesn't  matter  if  it's  old.  i  still  wanna  see  it.  ⁽  the  coca-cola  was  taken  from  her  hand  and  he  set  it  aside  after  cracking  it  open  and  taking  a  sip  from  it.  ⁾

my  scrapbook!  * iris  huffed  at  his  attempt  to  play  innocent *  that  thing  is  old  anyways,  it  still  has  stuff  from  nevada  in  it  * iris  sat  in  front  of  dustin,  handing  him  the  coca - cola  she  found  in  the  refrigerator *  no  need  to  play  dumb  with  me  * she  opened  up  her  water  bottle  and  took  a  swig  at  it *

@l0stsignals   no  bro  I  checked  my  notifs  on  chrissy  and  saw  you  announced  and  RAN  to  iris  bc  i  felt  like  it  wouldnt  make  sense  for  chrissy  :sad:

yea -  yea  whichever  way  it  goes,  one  of  us  w͟i͟l͟l͟  take  the  other  to  prom  * blue  eyes  looked  over  at  her  own  hand  in  dustin's,  then  up  at  dustin *  trust  me  on  this  one  :)  * she  glanced  over  at  the  demo dog *

  pretty  sure  it's  supposed  to  be  the  other  way  around  but.  yeah.  id  love  to  go  with  you.  ⁽  he'd  whisper  as  softly  as  he  could  imagine  as  he  reached  for  her  hand,  squeezing  it  a  comfort  for  her..  and  maybe  a  little  for  himself.  ⁾
