Dustin: Ok, thanks dads.
Everyone: …
Dustin: Why’s everyone staring at me?
Robin: You just called Steve and Eddie your dads. You said, “Thanks dads”.
Dustin: What no I didn’t, I said thanks guys.
Steve: Do you see us as father figures Henderson?
Dustin: No! If anything I see you both as bother figures cause you’re always bothering me!
Nancy: Hey! Show your dads some respect!
Dustin: I didn’t call them my dads!
Eddie: No, no, no, Dustin, we take it as a compliment.
Mike: It’s not a big deal, one time I called El “Will”.
Dustin: Guys! Jump on that! Mike’s madly in love with will but still dating El!
Max: Old news! But you calling Steve and Eddie your daddy’s-
Dustin: Hey! Daddy is not on the table here!
Lucas: But you did call them your dads dude.
Dustin: You shut up! You’ve done nothing but lie since you got here!
Lucas: Ok I’ll admit, I stole your DnD book, but the dad thing? That happened.
Dustin: AHAH! Lucas admitted to stealing my DnD book! It was a trap! All a part of my crazy, devious plan.
Steve: We believe you.
Dustin: Thank you.
Eddie: Son, would you like to talk about it later over a, game of catch?
Dustin: …I’d like that.
Nancy: So, who broke it? I’m not mad, I just wanna know.
Robin: I did, I bro-
Nancy: No. No you didn’t. Eddie?
Eddie, messing with Steve: Don’t look at me, look at Steve
Steve: What? I didn’t break it.
Eddie: Huh, that’s weird. How did you even know it was broken?
Steve: Because it’s sitting right in front of us, and it’s broken.
Dustin, also messing with Steve: Suspicious.
Steve: No it’s not!
Lucas: If it matters, probably not but, Erica was the last one to use it.
Erica: Liar I don’t even drink that crap!
Lucas: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?
Erica: I use the wooden stirs to push back my cuticles, everyone knows that LUCAS!
Robin: Ok, ok, let’s not fight! I broke it! Let me pay for it Nance.
Nancy: No. Who broke it?
Dustin: Nancy…Max has been awfully quiet.
Max: Really?!?
Dustin: yeah really!
Max: Oh my god!
(Arguing in the background)
Nancy: I broke it. It burnt my hand so I punched it.
Robin: Bad news, Steve forgot his keys and we where all locked out of the house. Good news I knew how to pick the lock! Bad news now Steve is concerned why I know how to pick locks, Eddie and the kids where pretty impressed though, I didn’t have the heart to tell them I learned how to pick locks when I was fifteen because I thought it would impress pretty girls. Good news a pretty girl saw me do it! Bad news, it was Nancy, and she’s already seen me trip over my own feet multiple times and burst into tears when a baby deer was just a little bit TOO cute…it’s too late…she already knows.
Steve and Nancy talking to Robin, Eddie and the kids: I am at a loss for words.
Robin: Despite being at a loss for words, they both continued to yell ut us for the next 45 minutes.
Haha I actually thought of this today before seeing this but a bit different, like yeah will shooting vecna and all that but I thought of how wills back in Hawkins and how everything is different now (also due to season 5 bts I deducted the rest of the party are a tinny bit distant from will)
Sooooo I was th of reasons and stuff considering there will be some time between s4 and s5 and what happened between that time
(Bit of context this “au” is my interpretation and wishes of how the show would happen so Eddie isn’t dead this is important considering he’s a big part of my plan thing) ok so I saw sooo many people saying Eddie and will would be incredible friends but what if they weren’t like in the end they are friends but what if WILL didn’t like eddie at first
(Ok so I got the idea from reading steddie fanfics and theories as one might happen to be doing and saw someone mention how yea eddie was bullied but he was a bully too) and I went down this rabbit hole of how “ohhhh Lucas wanted to change the most out of the partyyy” - not including will were thinking Hawkins - but what if Lucas changed the least? I always thought of the party as kids who STUDY and get GOOD GRADES yet mike has a c in Spanish??? And Dustin got suzie to change his grade bc it was bad??? So I feel like being around eddie - yes a protagonist can be a bad influence - who isn’t such a great person yes he has his reasons but still bullied ppl (ok I kinda feel like I’m sounding like a anti eddie or something so just to clarify I LOVE EDDIE) maybe influenced mike and Dustin to become worse ppl
I mean they skipped one of their BEST FRIENDS (who they’ve known for years) biggest achievements in something he liked just bc it wasn’t their interest and they had to attend a stupid dnd campaign for eddie a guy they’ve known for 6 months or less?!??
So considering will is probably gonna be staying at the wheelers and he’ll see just how much mike REALLY changed he’ll be idk mad or something, I mean will is probably gonna work hard to do his homework hand in any assignment study for a test and all that and he asks mike if he wants to join him but mikes kind of a douche now so he says (will isn’t bothered maybe mike wasn’t in the mood or already studied or has something important he has to do) but then he finds out mike isn’t doing his homework handing in assignments or studying for tests (realizing Dustin is in the same place as mike or something) and will slowly gets mad at him bc idk the party swore they’d always work hard for grades and stuff or whatever being smart and caring about grades was kinda their thing
Then will finds out Eddie is the influence of this behavior will and eddie haven’t talked much but now will is raging with anger whenever eddies around or is mentioned
Eddie catches on will doesn’t like him so he asks why (when they’re shouting and kinda arguing so) and will absolutely loses it he tells Eddie about how he robbed him of his friends (forgot to mention eddie will not let Dustin or mike really hang out with everyone else when he’s there except hellfire) and how he changed his friends for the worse and now he thinks he “doesn’t like them as much anymore” (not true will LOVES his friends he’s just mad) and it’s all eddies fault because he says he was bullied and blames everyone but now he’s bullying others too and out of all the stress will also reveals he would have liked to have someone who understands him by his side (great gaydar will i tell you) he slaps his hand over his mouth realizing he said too much
And eddie just stares at him
He remembers of how Steve or Robin once told him of how he says he was bullied and yes he was but now he’s a bully too
And while still will has tears rolling down his face eddie does admit will is right and he doesn’t know what to do but ever since will the wise came back it’s all mike Dustin (and Lucas) have been talking about and he kinda got jealous ig
Will says that doesn’t excuse him from the fact his friends have been influenced for the worst
Eddie agrees and says he wants to make it up to him, mike and Dustin also agree things did go too far and they kinda forgot what it’s like to have will around to always bring out the best in them and they promise to change but they also ask what will ment by “someone who understands” will tells them to forget about it bc it’s weird but eddie says that he would like someone to talk to too finally realizing what will ment
So yeah in the end will eddie friendship real it’s very good and will helps Eddie plan campaigns and how to manage time so that everyone can live their lives, like damn will was ready to fight Eddie when he later found out about missing lucases game
But Yk it’s ok they’re super close now and are head over heels for mike and Steve with each others support (more or less eddie thinks will standards are super low but it’s just bc he’s super close with mike and jokes about it)
So isn’t really what you posted about but still will is super protective of his friends bc he wants what s best for them
This got so long ago my phone was lagging while writing this so sorry if there are spelling mistakes or phrases that don’t make sense
I need a fic about this 😔😔 someone feed me
Jealous mike this, protective mike that
Like okay but what about protective Will?? Will who won't take anymore shit? Will who'd use a gun do defend himself and his friends even if he hates it??
Erm................ harry potter au?? (Strangerbthings)
My Harry Potter obsession is coming back ohhh ahhhhHAGAHAHAHG
I just know the party (The OG with Lucas, Dustin, Mike, and Will) would love the Legend of Zelda series. Which game do think they would like? I could see Will liking Botw or windwaker
@chocoarts thanks so much! This is just so adorable! I think it's very in-character for Mike to take the term "ankle biter" literally, and of course Robin just sits there and lets it happen. I might just have to come up with a ramble for this one!
Hey! I saw that requests are open, so can I request Steve straight up carrying all of the kids in the party? Or at least just the lads, if all 7 is kind of a stretch.
i cannot tell u how long i stared at ur ask trying to figure out how to do this hahahhdf BUT UUM ?? kindergarten au ! hope that works!!!
