What do you think? I think you're an idiot. (Dustin Henderson x Reader)

26: Finally, some adults around here!

Y/n's pov

As Jonathan lowered the knife i clutched onto Dustin tighter. I was holding onto both of his hands and he was gripping back tightly. I was leaning into him, pressed tightly against his side and I almost shut my eyes when Jonathan cut into El's flesh.

El's scream was muffled by the spoon clenched between her teeth and she gripped onto Mike harder.

"Oh my god." I groaned as blood and puss seeped out of the gash in her leg. I was starting to feel nauseous again, and judging by the looks on Robin and Steve's faces, so were they.

Nancy let out a small gasp and held her hand up to her mouth, and Jonathan gagged, a wince screwed onto his face.

"Oh shit, Dustin." I said, turning my face into his shoulder. He subconsciously stroked my hair, getting his fingers tangled in it but his wide eyes never left the giant cut in Eleven's shin.

Jonathan dropped the knife to the floor beside him and shut his eyes as he stuck his gloved fingers into the fresh cut.

There was an array of gasps and groans from all of us, topped with another strangled cry from El. She clutched Mike's arms tighter and her nails pressed down. I could see that Mike had started to bleed, but he didn't give a damn. He just held onto her tighter.

"Jonathan!" Nancy cried as El's shrieks became progressively louder and louder and she started trying to get out of Mike's grip, struggling and writhing.

"Stop talking!" Jonathan yelled, focused on digging his hand around in El's leg. She screamed a deafening screech when he pressed into the bone. "Goddamn it!"

"No!" Eleven shrieked, spitting out the spoon. "Stop it! Stop!"

I opened my eyes and looked away from Dustin's side.

"Stop." Nancy said, pushing Jonathan back as El wormed out of Mike's grasp and, with some difficulty, sat up straight.

"I can do it." She whimpered, tears flowing in a heavy stream down her face. "I can do it."

Mike supported her back as she sat up fully, trembling but determined. She stuck her hand out in front of her and sucked in a sharp breath as more blood ran down her leg.

Eleven screamed. My eyes widened as the thing inside her leg was forced upwards, ripping the skin and causing a large bump to rise. Mike rubbed her back, wincing at her cries.

She suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream, louder than the rest combined as a bubble of blood came up from the wound. El's yell sent vibrations through the air and the lights seemed to flicker before the glass of the Gap's window display shattered into a million splinters of glittering glass.

I flinched, as did everyone else, as we dodged glass shards. Dustin pulled my face into his chest and if it weren't for the circumstances i probably would have laughed. A happy laugh.

El continued to scream, her body almost vibrating.

My jaw dropped when El's hand shook and a worm-like creature was pulled out of her leg, hovering above her wound. She forced it out and threw it away harshly, all the while screaming.

She began panting hard, her breathing shaky and shallow as we all stared after the creature. It began chittering, making a noise much like Dart had, and dragging itself away when it was smashed by someone's foot.

My gaze travelled from the shoe all the way up to the man it was attached to- Hopper. He stood with Joyce and another man behind him, all looking like they had had a day of their own.

What the hell is happening?
