Stranger Things//halloween headcanon
hey! happy halloween!!!! look at me posting something that isn’t a request! what? i know right. anyway, i hope you like this, you better because my girlfriend typed this up for me, so thanks. byeeee
- It was Robin’s idea to go pumpkin picking
- She’d rang you far too early in the morning and told you to be at her house in ten
- Of course you agreed instantly
- Not even knowing what you were actually doing
- And despite the annoyed grumbles of your parents for being woken up so early
- She’d jumped into your car before you’d even stopped properly
- All happy and smiling and bouncing about
- ‘you look like a golden retriever about to go on a walk’
- The journey to the pumpkin patch was spent singing loudly along to the mixtapes she made
- And pointing out every animal you saw
- ‘robin it’s dead, please get it out of my car’
- Occasionally she would stop whatever work story she was telling you to press gentle kisses to your knuckles
- And her hand never left the top of yours
- Why would it? It’s warm and safe and she’s spending the day with her girl
- But eventually you arrive and she reluctantly pulls her hand away before getting out of the car
- She’s also highly disappointed when she realizes that practically all the pumpkins were gone
- Only a few remained right at the far end of the field making her huff and pout before you start the small trek
- As soon as you make it though, her smile returns and you find yourself grinning back
- the two of you make a bet over who can find the biggest one
- ‘y/n, I think I’ve got you beat with this one’
- Que you struggling to hold a massive pumpkin in your arms.
- You then realize that you have to somehow get these back to your car and robin’s now glaring at you because
- ‘we’ll be fine, we wont need a wheel barrow’
- So while you’re sent all the way back
- Robin goes for a wander and comes back with a bunch of wildflowers
- Which make your cheeks heat up when she gives you them
- The moments ruined though when Robin asks ‘what the fuck is that?’ While pointing at the tiny pumpkin you brought it back
- ‘how are you gonna carve it?’
- ‘why do you have it then?’
- ‘well I couldn’t just leave it all by itself could I?’
- You eventually get back to the car
- Pumpkins, wildflowers and a few stray leaves that according to you were ~too crunchy~ to leave behind
- And at the first stop sign on the way back Robin reaches over the console and grabs your free hand, giving it a squeeze
- After Tina’s disastrous party
- Steve vowed to never set foot in another Halloween party ever again
- He only has to smell that god awful red liquid and he’s taken right back there
- You with your bright smile and your kind heart
- And within a month of knowing you
- He knows he’d follow you to the end of the earth if he had to
- And so after a year together
- A stupid party shouldn’t be too hard.
- He’s a little bit nervous at first
- Something Steve never thought he’d feel about going to a party
- But you remain by his side the entire night
- Holding his hand while rolling your eyes at Robin’s teasing of your matching costumes
- ‘like you didn’t dress like that just to match with a certain redhead over there’
- You retort to the third insult in two minutes and Steve snorts a laugh.
- He adds, feeling himself relax a little.
- And after an hour or so the anxiety seems to have gone completely
- Suddenly he’s abandoning his drink and pulling you onto the makeshift dance floor
- ‘steve, you don’t even like george michael’
- He’s good at many things
- But dancing isn’t one of them
- He’s all limbs and no rhythm
- Not that he seems to care
- Robin joins you for a while and the three if you look absolutely ridiculous trying to dance together
- ‘seriously Harrington, who taught you how to dance’
- ‘come on robin, you me. dance battle. y/n will judge’
- She leaves after the fourth attempt at a dance battle
- (plus Juliet asked if she wanted to go outside)
- And he pulls you close when she leaves
- His hands rest on your waist and his fingers draw pattens over your costume
- ‘you look amazing by the way’
- It’s more slurred than spoken but he means it
- You can tell by the way he’s looking at you
- Like you’re the only thing in the entire world he sees
- You blush and look at the sticky floor
- He never thought he’d be as happy as he is right now
- The ghosts of the upside down and Nancy seem to haunt him
- But they don’t seem as scary now you’re here
- Going to a corn maze together is a tradition in your relationship with Jonathan
- Even though corn mazes + halloween = an awful horror movie
- But it’s just something you and Jonathan do
- You got together at one
- Both being dragged along by friends and then being abandoned by them
- And with every rustle of corn or snap of a twig
- You felt yourself jump closer and closer to each other
- Until your fingers brushed against his and the two of you froze
- For weeks shy glances and blushing cheeks had been shared between the two of you
- Much to the annoyance of your friends
- And so they thought if they brought you here and then ‘accidentally get lost’
- The two of you would have no choice but to talk
- Cleary they were wrong though
- Because you walked around the rest of the maze in silence
- Until finally you found them waiting for you with hopeful expressions that fell as soon as they say the two of you desperately trying to stay as far away from each other as possible.
- They knew something was up
- So they sent you both back in to
- ‘find somebodies purse’
- Really they’d hidden it behind a pumpkin at the entrance
- But when you didn’t come back after a while they got worried and went to find you
- You and Jonathan were too busy kissing to notice them
- You also didn’t notice them leaving again
- So you spent another hour searching for them until you walked past the end and saw them all standing around with not to subtle smirks on their faces
- No matter the weather or if anyone else is going
- The two of you just walk around
- Jonathan points out constellations
- And you listen while he rambles on about space or photography or music
- You tell corny jokes that make him roll his eyes and stifle a laugh
- He of course brings his camera and takes hundreds of photo’s every time
- Despite nothing changing but yourselves
- He photographs you, the sky, the ground, the maze
- And every year you come up with ridiculous ideas of how to photograph the top of the maze
- All of them have failed so far
- You always stop in the exact spot you got together and you always make out for a little while
- Even if you are with friends, you just wander away for a bit
- And when you come back they always tease you because they know exactly where you’ve been
- Jonathan always blushes and you just roll your eyes at them before mumbling ‘shut up’
- But while they annoy you
- Jonathan starts planning
- Hopefully one year, you’ll leave with a ring on your finger
- Nancy has been through a lot
- At Halloween the last thing she wants to do is go out
- A part of her doesn’t really like it that much anymore.
- The decorations make her flinch if they move too quickly
- Screams of pretend witches and monster remind her of a time she’d rather forget
- The costumes, the decorations, the free food!
- The weeks leading up to halloween there’s always talks of a party
- Whose turn is it this year?
- and is it going to be beat last years?
- Nancy could see how excited you were at the prospect of it
- So she decided she would try and push all her fears and anxieties away
- Wear a ridiculous costume that subtly matched yours
- And force a smile to stay on her face until she can go home and cry
- You might think she’s weird or rude
- You’ve only been together for 2 and a half months and she’s worried she’ll scare you off or make you sad
- But just because you’ve only been together for two months
- Doesn’t mean you haven’t noticed her
- You see when she flinches at loud noises
- Or how she always walks the furthest away from the decorations lining the streets
- And how in stores she avoids the Halloween section completely
- Whenever you mention halloween she avoids eye contact
- And at the mention of halloween she has to close her eyes and take a deep breath
- She does the same before knocking on your front door,
- Expecting you to be in full costume and bouncing about in excitement
- Which of course you are
- But instead of walking out
- And she’s confused to say the least
- The Halloween decorations that were up the last time she was here are no longer there
- ‘i don’t know whats happened, but its okay and you’re safe
- And pull her onto the sofa
- ‘okay, so there are scary movies and normal ones, you choose what we watch’
- ‘what about the party?’
- ‘you’re much better than any stupid party’
