A look into the daily lives of our favorite Hawkins residents.

steve lost a bet with dustin and mike and as the loser, he had to take them out to eat and they could get anything they wanted. they had burgers, fries, and three milkshakes. they ended up getting sick at a stop light. let’s just say steve had to take his car to the car wash after dropping them off at home.

when mrs. wheeler went to the basement to tell mike that lunch was ready and saw the kids standing together she had to grab her camera (they’re just so cute, and they’re growing up so fast. she wants to remember this). some of them were more willing to smile for a picture than others.

will is actually very skilled at roller skating. he’s tried teaching el, but she’s given up. she likes watching will show off though. it makes her happy.

there was a guy selling watermelon slices from a stand outside of the mall and the kids might have questioned it more if it wasn’t so ridiculously hot. they ended up going back two other times.

max, el, and will discussed mike while they ate their watermelon and mike got stopped by some man asking for money… or maybe directions. they weren’t really listening, but they’re sure he’ll be fine.

dustin saw max kiss lucas and had to congratulate him after the slow dance was over. max had second thoughts after witnessing this.

everyone in the byers house knows when will is on the phone with mike because he looks like this every single time without fail

steve decided to stop into the snow ball after dropping dustin off. he ended up bumping into mike and el and then someone from the yearbook staff wanted a quick photo. mike panicked and prom posed with steve. it made it into the yearbook and it haunts mike to this day.

steve could have sworn he heard something in the air vent and he stuck dustin on it to investigate. robin was totally making fun of them. they don’t know that it was her making spooky noises into the vent from the employee restroom.

nancy asked jonathan where he wanted to go for lunch and he said they could go wherever she wanted. she emphasised that she didn’t care and wanted jonathan to decide. they never actually came to a decision and ended up eating leftover muffins from breakfast.

The Airport Incident: A Byers-Hopper Siblings Tale

Based off of this photo. 500+ words.

Mike’s plane was supposed to land around 10:30 in the morning, so naturally El (and, to be honest, Will) wanted to get there hours in advance to make sure that she’d be there when the plane landed. It’s a mystery as to how she got Jonathan and Argyle to agree to wake up at seven o’clock during spring break so that they could be at the airport at eight.

Argyle, of course, supplied snacks while they waited at the gate for Mike, but he and Jonathan also ate all of them within the first hour of being at the airport. Will was starting to get hungry himself and he spotted a vending machine a few gates down.

He had brought the painting he had been working on, in anticipation that he could show Mike. It was really important to him, and he hesitated to leave it with his siblings and Argyle, but he also didn’t want to bring it all the way to the vending machine with him. Will decided to put his trust in his siblings and asked them if they could watch over it while he went to get some snacks and a drink. They said that it wouldn’t be a problem.

Will left to get his food and drink and came back to a horrendous sight. Jonathan and El were now standing, using his rolled up painting to speak into. El had one end pressed up against her ear, while Jonathan spoke total nonsense (probably something at Will’s expense) into the other end, causing El to giggle.

“What the Hell? I trusted you guys,” Will frowned, placing his food on his chair.

Jonathan whipped around to face Will, the painting still attached to his mouth. “Awh, c’mon, Will. We were just having a little fun. Waiting around for Mike was getting a little boring.”

“Yeah, we were bored,” El echoed.

“Then play hot hands or something, and leave my painting out of it!” Will snatched his painting back out of Jonathan’s hands.

He carefully weighed the pros and cons of what he was about to do, but quickly discarded any rational thoughts, and smacked Jonathan over the head with it, making a hollow thumping sound. He then turned to El and smacked her in the shoulder. She let out a tiny yelp and frowned at Will, as she rubbed her upper arm.

“Don’t touch my shit.” Will simply said, picking up his food from his chair and sitting back down. He added, “I can’t wait for Mike to get here already. I can’t stand you guys anymore.”

Jonathan and El followed suit. They looked at Will and then exchanged glances saying “What’s his problem?” without actually saying it. It caused them to have to stifle their laughter so Will didn’t give them dagger eyes.

“Damn, that little dude’s got some serious sass, bro.” Argyle commented.

Jonathan jumped in his seat and turned around to face Argyle. “Jesus, I forgot you were here.”

He wasn’t even offended by what Jonathan said. He just grinned and replied, “It’s all good, man. That purple palm tree delight has memory wiping capabilities, my friend.”

Will was listening to all of them, and rolled his eyes. Yeah, he definitely was ready for Mike’s plane to land, so that he had someone else to talk to. Someone who wasn’t his siblings or Argyle.

steve thought it would be funny to dress as jonathan for halloween, but he told people he was dressed as “a guy who hates parties”. jonathan didn’t find it as amusing.

Lookit.

max’s spanish teacher asked her to stay after class to ask whose blood that was on her assignment. max was just happy when she saw that she got an 86 and said “it’s fine, don’t worry about it” with a big smile on her face and walked out.

this is actually just how mike was when will had to get his tonsils removed. mrs. byers assured him that will would be okay and that it’s a safe procedure, but he insisted on coming to the hospital after school so he could be there when will woke up.

steve really wanted to prank and scare dustin. after steve promised robin half of his tips she agreed to help. despite everything dustin’s been through and seen, somehow robin pounding on the inside of the trunk and popping out when he opened it made him scream louder than he ever has before.

[dailyhawkins]

there were two days where mike really wanted to be in a band. he asked will to ask jonathan to take photos for their album.

whenever robin gets a bad feeling from a girl that steve is talking to she’ll get really close to him and touch his arm a lot until the girl walks away. steve used to get annoyed with her, but he’s since caught on and is actually quite thankful.
