Chapter Text
it's been 3 months since Will was freed from the Mind Flayer, 3 months since El closed the gate. But dispite being free and everyone returning back to there tainted normality Will still feels wierd.Not like back then, not like during or after his now memories but Will always felt warm. not burning or like he's in pain just warm like his body temperature has increased just a bit and won't go back down. it makes him scared like there might be still sum of it in him, like it wasn't all gone and it's suffering in wills adnormaly warm body.
"hey buddy"
Will snapped his head around and looked at the door. how long had he been there. "h-hey" Will was sat on he's bed facing an open window holding his sketch book to his lap "are you okay" Jonethen walked in and sat next to him. Wills head followed him all the way across the room until he sat down. "what do you have there" he said after a beat "oh n-nothing" Will turn his body away from his older brother and shoved the book under his pillow. "you okay. a-are you feeling warm again" Jonethen glanced to the window and back at Will's face. he figured his brother would be worried. the last time will sat in his room like this he was able to draw a complete map of the "Hawkins tunnel system" as the people in the lab called it. That name sounded evil to Will, like there are more tunnels all across the world, how many people suffer because of it, where there other kids like him, other kids who where taken while just going about there everyday life. how many survived, how many family's did those people make disappeared because they knew to much. those people could do anything they could probably get rid of an entire town and no one would bat an eye. they where bad people, and Will knows they are watching him, listening to his calls, and he knows for a fact what ever they are doing to him in the lab, it's not what they are telling mum.
"y-yeah, I I i-am fine"
ever since returning will has had an on and off stutter. sometimes he can go days with out it and others he can't even form a full sentence. it's frustrating and embarrassing so he started talking less to save the humiliation for the next time he is being dragged around in nothing but a hospital gown. in front of all his friends
Will felt his ears heat up at the thought, he can't even remember if he was wearing anything underneath, and-
"Johnathon! what did he say!"
Joyce yelled from the living room
"oh shh-" Johnathon never swore around will or at least tried not to "mums ordering pizza what did you want" he said getting up
"just cheese"
"that's it? stuffed crust?" will nods
"cheesy, stuff crust pizza it is"he walked to the door "also hopper and El are coming" Jonethen gave him a knowing look. he knew Will got along with El in there own way. Jonathan left closing the door.
Will's sumach turned at the thought of eating a pizza that cheesy and fat. Why did he say cheese
