ignore mike , he’s in a mood .. did you want a ride home ? (..) how’s it going with .. max ?
@HAWKINSHOTS * mike's always in a mood . ( an eye roll , annoyance etching across his features though it softened at her questions . ) a ride would be nice ... and .. yeah . things are .. they're okay , i guess . okay as they can be .
/ ehm .. hi stranger things community <3
“Lucas, hey, can you talk? I need your help.. it’s kind of an emergency..” Dustin said with tears in his eyes.
@starclaw123 * " huh - wh - yeah - yeah , man . what's up ? " despite being annoyed due to being awoken at such a time , the urgency in dustin's voice was enough to worry lucas . " are you okay ? "
“Lucas? What happened?” Asked a worried Ranika
“I know- you’ve come to my house at 2am injured- get in and let me find my first aid kit- take a seat on a kitchen chair okay? Then you can tell me about it or we can do something to take your mind off of it.”
@crimson-arrows- * " a lot ... " his voice was soft , eyes hard . " a lot has happened . "
/ gasp , i know the fan theory is that eddie will turn out to be kaz , but isn't el more like kaz ? kaz ( el ) helps vecna ( henry ) , and ends up turning on him ( banishing him to the upside down ) for the greater good . i would like for it to be will , but el's probably gonna be the one to kill vecna next season anyways , that's my thought .
— ❝ no. no. no, no, no. absolutely not. what the f͟u͟c͟k͟ happened to your face (???) ❞
( U͟S͟U͟A͟L͟L͟Y͟,͟ cameron doesn’t show this much emotion – at all. at the sight of her younger brother, she’s had to break the habit of saying ‘baby brother’, hurt – clearly at the fault of someone else, she felt her heart drop to her stomach. she hated getting overprotective – but she couldn’t help herself, not when things like this happened. )
@indianaruin * " my skin was already black , so is it reeeeeeally that big of a deal ? " not that time for jokes , but he managed to crack one in an attempt to ease the obvious stress cam was feeling . his state was nothing compared to max's , so in the grand scheme of things , he was okay !
@theirranger — ❝ t͟h͟i͟s͟ is fine to you?! jesus fucking christ, your eye is black! ❞ ( she didn’t wanna freak out … but it was a lot harder than it seemed. she was glad he wasn’t hospitalized or anything of the sort, but whoever – or whatever hurt him, left his face really messed up. )
@indianaruin * " cam , it's fine . i'm fine , really .. " ( he was not fine ! not only was his eye turning a deep shade of purple , but his lip was split and nose bleeding . the whole ordeal was painful , but he stood strong throughout it . )
will had been in the hospital with lucas for the past few days . mainly because he hasn't seen the other in so long , but also he was for the max as well . everything was going alright until will heard that clock sound , it sounded a bit familiar to him in some way . it still scared him though.
looking around a bit to see where the sound was coming from , his gaze went to where Lucas was . but no one was there anymore. he was alone in the room now . what was going on . he decided to get up and look around , growing more nervous
now if lucas was to look at will , will would still be in his same spot. just his eyes rolled back .
* poor lucas couldn't catch a break :(
@artistfreak_ * " shit , shit , shit . " he couldn't remember the lyrics to the song . it wasn't something he listened to on purpose , only if will listened to it . in this moment , he could feel his heart beating through his ears , taking to dumping the contents of the bag out . this wasn't a fruitless venture as the radio fell out - but rolled underneath max's bag . this posed a dilemma for lucas : keep singing to will or grab the radio . both had the same threat that will could turn into a victim , but the radio was a better choice . kneeling down , he swiped up the radio and made sure the batteries were in there before turning it on , and tuning it to a station where some ABBA song was playing . he only hoped it was something that will would like too . / OH YES
the running now stopping for now , his gaze went all over . this place was a but different than he remembered , it was much darker when he was here , but now the sky had this red the glowed just a bit . then there was this thick vines? everywhere . wait — those weren't vines . shit - they moved .
will paused now when hearing these heavy like footsteps behind him coming towards him now . looking back he saw the figure of the creature or whatever it was approaching , it called his name , but he ignored it as he went to run away once again and he was glad he did cause those moving vine things were about to grabbed him ( which are still trying to get him but whatever ) .
it was very faint sounding like very faint , but will could somewhat make out lucas voice . he could somewhat make out the song he trying to remember the lyrics to , it wasn't enough though . the singing wasn't enough to really help him though , but it made will realize that lucas was still there . somewhere .
/ OH NO -
@artistfreak_ * " will , please . " he was near tears at this point , pleading desperately for his friend to return . he could feel pressure building in his chest , ears ringing . there was no way he could let will go , he couldn't , absolutely not . he wouldn't fail will the same way he failed max . that thought sent him into action mode . he bolted from the chair , searching through the bag of things he'd brought to entertain max . there was a radio in there somewhere , he knew it . for some reason , he couldn't find it right away , bringing the bag to the foot of max's bed . " uh - uh .. so - so you gotta let me know . should i stay or should i go ? " admittedly his voice was bit rusty , but he hoped it could be enough , hoped it would be enough . " where's that damn radio ? " he was whimpering at this point , trying to find their salvation as well as remember the lyrics to a song he didn't give a shit about . " if .. if i go there will be double - no , wait ... if i go there will be trouble . if i stay there will be double . " / STOP BECAUSE MAN IS ON THE VERGE OF A MENTAL BREAKDOWN
/ also cb for something from lucas <3
/ thanks to everyone who was so patient with me while i fought through this little bought of darkness <3
" l ... lucas . " of COURSE he'd be max's first thought . eyelids flutter , not quite opening yet , && her fingers twitch almost imperceptibly at her sides as she begins to awaken from her near death sleep . everything hurts , everything in her body is broken , but she's still there . the girl whimpers slightly , her nerves finally registering the intense pain she's in .
@skaterguilt * head shooting to the side , his eyes instantly landing on her face . he isn't sure if it's another imagination - he'd had so many of those in the .. however long he'd been by her side . still , something feels different this time . the hard cover book in his hands closes with a barely perceptible ' pop ' before he leans over to observe her more closely . he listens , eyes widening at , not only the change in her breathing , but the MOVEMENTS . adrenaline and pure glee fill his veins as he races over , gently touching a finger to hers . " max ? i - it's me . i'm here . i'm still here . "
