Mike Wheeler x Demodog!Reader Fluff! Mike has a friend in a demodog. His love sets her free. “Y/N!” I shine the flashlight around, worried. Where is she? She should’ve been home by now. The rest of the party plus Steve stands behind me. God, she needs to be here, she could get hurt. “Y/N! Please! Come here!” A demodog trots out of the bushes, heading our way. I breathe a sigh of relief walking towards it. “God, you had me worri-“ A baseball bat slams down on her. I freeze, shocked. “No! Steve stop!” Y/N lays on the ground, mewling in pain. Steve steps back confused. I run to her, placing a hand on her skin. She shrieks in pain, guilt hits me. “I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have let come here.” She tries to pick up her head, nuzzling into my hand. Tears sting my eyes, I place my hands under her, slowly picking her up. She screams, curling further into my body. “I’m so sorry. I know it hurts. Just a little bit longer.” Steve follows close behind, closing the bus door behind us. Everyone jumps, fleeing to the opposite side of the bus. “What the hell! Get that thing out of here!” I feel anger and sadness. “Listen! She’s not a thing! And she’s hurt! So stop!” Everyone recoils from my outburst. I gently lay her down, lightly stroking across her skin. She mewls, attempting to get up. “No, just rest.” She resists before lightly nodding, laying back down. I pull a blanket over her, stroking my fingers over face, earning a light mewl from her. “It’s gonna be okay. Just sleep.” A hand reaches towards her, and I try to stop them. She snaps towards it, and yelps in pain. “No one touch her! She’s really protective of me.” “Mike. Explain.” I turn, seeing an angry and confused party. “She came to me after Will came back. She started leaving me small gifts, like change, shiny things. I invited her in, and she basically started acting like a dog. She started to follow me everywhere, even to school. One time, Troy started bullying me, he pushed me and I got hurt. Y/N ran out, screaming, and trying to bite him. She’s very protective and loyal to me.” They all stare at me blankly. “You’re kidding right?” I shake my head, a hand grips my pant leg. I turn, seeing Y/N. Kneeling, I grab her claw, pressing my lips to her face. Just a light peck. “Hey. It’s gonna be okay.” Her breathing starts to slow as she settles down. I stand up, earning another tug on my pant leg. “Alright. Alright. I’m here.” Everyone goes back to being look outs, leaving us alone. I clutch onto her, gently stroking her skin. “You know, I do love you. You’re amazing, and you’re gonna get through this. We both are. You’re gonna get better.” The bus fills with the sounds of bones and tendons snapping and cracking. Y/N screams, I watch as her body starts to painfully shift. “Guys! They’re here!” Demodogs shriek and start to attack the bus. We finally manage to fight them all off. “Mike?” We all look back, seeing a girl on the seat I left Y/N. “Who are you?” She stands, wrapping the blanket around herself. “It’s me.” I cock my head, confused. “It’s Y/N.” I shake my head, stepping back. “No, you aren’t. Where’s my girl?” She shakes her head, a sad look on her face. Walking closer, she takes my face, cupping it in her hand. A flash appears, every moment we’ve been together flashes across my retinas. Then her face reappears, a tear streaming down it. “It is you...” She nods, brushing a thumb across my cheek. “My Mike.” I smile, wrapping my arms around her body. She presses her face into my neck, inhaling deeply. “You smell nice.” I chuckle under my breath. “Thank you.” Her legs collapse as she falls into my chest. I catch her, a blush painting my cheeks. “Do you need me to carry you?” She nods, wrapping her arms around my neck. She lays on the couch, resting. My hand grips hers as I watch her. I smile. “My girl.” She stirs, looking at me with a small smile. “Mike.” I press a kiss to her cheek, cupping her face. She does the same, looking into my eyes. “Love you too.”
