Better babysitter // Steve Harrington x Reader //

We were going to use the shed in the backyard so Will wouldn't know where he was. Joyce suggested that this was the best place and so here we are, helping with making this place look as unrecognizable as possible.

Hopper and I began emptying the shed, throwing everything inside it in the backyard. Steve and Nancy boarded walls as Lucas, and Dustin scrounged the house for paper and old newspapers. Max and Mike were inside the house, grabbing appliances, and Joyce and Jonathan were grabbing any sheet they could find.

After helping with covering the place it was time to leave. I grabbed Steve's hand and we walked into the house, leaving the unconscious Will and others in the shed. 

Dustin was standing over the window, looking at the shed. I decided to walk over to him while putting my hand on his shoulder. "He's going to be okay," I assured him. 

He turned around while nodding. He took off his hat and walked into the kitchen, leaving me alone with Nancy who was leaning against the wall. "So, you and Jonathan," I said while walking over to Nancy. I leaned against the wall next to her as I smiled softly, trying to calm down the tension.

"What about us?" Nancy asked as she turned to face me.

"You know what I mean."

Nancy blushed slightly as she looked down at her feet, playing with her fingers. "There's nothing between us."

"Yeah, sure." I chuckled slightly.

"What about you and Steve?" Nancy raised her eyebrows as she smiled at me.

"We're just friends,...well babysitters as of now." I returned the smile.

Nancy smirked and as she was about to say something Hopper burst through the door, Joyce, Jonathan and Mike following behind him. He grabed the envelop and a pen before sitting down and scribiling something on the paper.

"What happened?" Dustin asked, peering over Hopper's shoulder.

Hopper sighed before answering. "I think he's talking, just not with words."

"What is that?" Steve asked.

"Morse code." The kids and I say in unison.

"H-E-R-E" Hopper mumbled while pulling his hand back from the writing.

"Here." The kids said at the same time.

"Will's still in there." Hopper said as he placed the pen on the table. "He's talking to us."

Joyce nodded as Jonathan left the room to grab his radio. Dustin grabed a sheet that contained all the letters to morse code and I grabed the crayon so I could write them down.

I sat down at the table, Dustin sitting next to me as he told me what to write. "Dash, dot, dash, dot."

"Must be C." I said as I waited for Lucas to confirm.

"Yeah, got it." Lucas affirmed. "C"

I nodded as I wrote down the letter.

"L." Lucas said, leaning over to face me.

Writing down the last letter I set down the red crayon, holding up the cardboard up so the others could see.

"Close gate." We said in unison as the phone began to ring, causing us to snap our heads up.

"Shit." Dustin cursed as he made his way towards the phone, slaming it off. "Shit." 

The telephone began to ring again and Nancy ripped it of the wall, tossing it across the room.

"Do you think he heard that?" Max asked.

"It's just a phone." Steve shruged. "It could be anywhere. Right?" He asked, looking at everyone.

The loud screeching made us pul out of our thoughts.

"That's not good." Dustin said, looking through the window.

I rushed to my bag, grabing the axe that was inside it. I grabed the handgun as well but unfortunetly I was out off bullets. "Fuck." I muttered before putting the gun back in the bag.

"Hey." I heard Hopper shout. "Hey, get away from the windows!" Looking around the room, his eyes lend on Jonathan. "Do you know how to use this?" He asked, holding up a shotgun.

"What?" Jonathan asked.

"Can you use this?"

"I can." Nancy said as she catched the gun that Hopper threw at her.

I stood next to Steve, griping my axe as we waited for the creatures to attack.

"Where are they?" Max asked as the creatures continued to screech in the distance.

A loud thudding noice caused us all to turn.

"What are they doing?" Nancy asked with a shaky voice.

Suddenly a loud snarl could be heard, now closer to the house, causing us once again to turn and face the noise.

Odly enoug it got quiet. Where are they? I asked myself. As if to answer my question the Demo-dog came bursting through the window, causing us to jump back.

The creature slamed in the bookcase as we slowly walked closer to it. Hopper tapped it with his foot as the creature layed lifelees on the floor.

"Is it dead?" I asked as I got closer to it.

Hearing the door creak, we snaped our heads. I raised my axe, waiting for the potential threat.

The doors unlocked, causing me to grip the axe tighter. The doors slowly opened revelieng Eleven in a punk outfit. I smiled as I lowered my axe.

Mike made his way towards Eleven, a single tear falling down his cheeck as he smiled softly at her.
