               “  So—  why  do  they  call  you  ZOMBIE  BOY  ?  ”  Arms  crossed  over  her  chest  ,  she  eyes  the  kid  suspiciously  and  brow  quirks  upwards—   she’s  questioning  out  of  pure  curiosity  ,  but  a  hint  of  snark  can’t  help  but  bleed  through  into  her  tone  .

               “  How  do  you  play—— dee  and  dee  ?  ”  Brows  are  furrowed  in  confusion—  though  eyes  are  trained  on  Will  ,  like  she’s  desperate  to  know  the  answer  .  Players  handbook  is  held  tightly  in  her  deft  fingers  ,  and  gaze  flickers  down  before  she  hands  the  book  over  ,  as  if  to  clarify  her  question  ,  meeting  his  gaze  expectantly  .

@flayedcleric​ liked for a starter !

        ‘   you should let dustin do your hair.     REALLY,    i bet he’d be super excited.   ‘    he’s only snickering a little.

“ Me neither, ” Will laughed, flopping back onto his bed. Since they’d moved to Chicago, and into a much smaller apartment, Will and El had had to share a room. It’d turned out to be much less of a problem than either had anticipated, and now, on the last day of summer, they were so close they’d kept each other up until the early hours, talking about everything Dungeons and Dragons and the books El’d been devouring since she learned how to read them to the much darker, quieter conversations about the evil they’d come face to face with, both human and otherwise.

“ Wish we didn’t have to go to school tomorrow, either, ” he sighed, smile falling away.

               Nose  wrinkles  up  in  exaggerated  disgust  when  Will  mentions  school  ,  and  expression  only  drops  for  her  to  laugh  at  herself  .  She’s  never  been  to  school—  her  only  experience  when  she  snuck  through  the  hallways  of  Hawkins  Middle  in  search  of  Mike—  but  she  can’t  help  but  share  Will’s  anxiety  over  it  .  They’re  a  hundred  or  so  miles  away  from  Hawkins  ,  and  theres  no  way  the  bad  men  could  possibly  find  her  ,  she  knows  ,  but  the  fear  of  being  so  exposed  ,  so  vulnerable  ,  alone  and  without  her  powers—  still  makes  her  heart  pound  .  “  What  if  we  just—  don’t  go  ?  ”  She  ponders  ,  cheek  going  to  rest  on  the  palm  of  her  hand  as  she  lies  on   her  side  ,  facing  Will  .  “  We  can  just—  study  here  .  Jonathan  will  teach  us  .  ”
