off to a start, remember my "Todoroki apparently talk to a sus person and they use their quirk on him, whatever the quirk is it's supposed to like make him blow up or something if he doesn't fall in love with the last person he interacted with so Todoroki is trying to make Bakugo fall in love with him but Bakugo doesn't believe this is even a real quirk going on."
here is what i've been working on gotta think on whats about to happen here.
000000000000000 my ugly boarder don't mind me
The feeling when you're just about to sit down and you have a plate of food and somebody calls you is exactly the way Bakugo feels right now except ten times fucking worse. You’re about to do the biggest thing in your life and somebody calls you up with a stupid ass question anyone in the world including a fucking toddler could answer like what the fuck man, c’mon! He drew his hot bath back at his apartment and everything too, damn.
And of fucking course it has to be on a saturday night mind you. Bakugo is dodging and weaving through high building tops with his quirk semi-along side Deku and Shoto, the Endeavor agency’s newest side-kick recruits —They weren’t in training anymore; they were real side-kicks. Until they can become real heroes with their own agencies you had to start small— Anyway they were on a solo mission to capture a villain who had been reported of doing something extremely questionable. This is all going down on a Saturday he repeats in his head, it isn’t too late the idea of going home is still not off the table.
“Run that by me one more Icyhot, tell me what your old man said about this villain’s quirk.” Katuski spoke to him while blasting by next to him with his quirk over buildings while Deku hopped like the fucking rabbit monkey he was also swinging on his black whip.
“He said his quirk apparently forces people to instantly fall in love or something?” His voice was neutral like it normally was; however he heard confusion in his dull tone.
“That sounds awful.” Deku said light teal lightning sparking off of his person when he moved.
For fucking real, this sounds like a joke. “This has to be a prank call.” He stewed.
There’s no way this could be a real call, cause if wasn’t Katuski is going to jail for murder tonight.
Honest to god it was, there were people on the scene of the crime cooing over each other like a bunch of fucking animals. A lady was rubbing a man’s shoulder trying to coax him to come with her or some shit and another lady pulling her friend or somethings arm trying to get her to come with her to do whatever nasty ass shit she had planned for them to do together.
“Well I'll be damned.” Bakugo placed his hands on his hips eyeing everything there was to see. Half n half talked to the police and Deku talked to the surrounding people.
“Did you see anyone run from the scene before you called the heroes?” Todoroki asked, lifting his hand in question.
“I asked the civilians who said they saw him run down the street there.” He points down the dark sidewalk where there are several buildings where somebody
hiii anon, sorry for taking a few days to reply, I'm trying to settle into a new routine so my schedule got a little messed up, but let's get it!!
omg right, I'm so glad you're back, this plot/scenario is so fun
Anon you write so well?? I also love how you capture Bakugo's pov while keeping him in character, huge props for that!!!
I love how Bakugo is so skeptical of the quirk even though nobody, especially not endeavor, has a reason to lie. If we dig deeper inside of him I think we could find out that it's because he doesn't believe love can be messed with like that, which will be really fun to tackle when he gets to actually realize his feelings for shoutodfkfjkcv
if you want to keep writing here please send me more, if you post somewhere pls send me where I could read it, cause I really am curious to see how these two might develop

Honestly I wanted so much more of AFO taunting Endeavor about Touya and actually see Endeavor feel like shit for everything that happened to Touya. I wanted to see him reflect on being a father not a hero. I don't want to see Endeavor continue to be stagnant, I'm begging Hori not to continue to drag Endeavor's arc. I'm even starting to get a point where I wonder if he is even going to make the right choice.
He will. When Touya is THERE. Because that’s when it’ll matter.
That’s literally exactly what I mean. Why are we focusing on these characters if it actually gets us fucking NOWHERE.
The translation makes me feel a lot better. But I’m gonna go ahead and say this:
This was pointed out to me by @redphlox when we were discussing this last night, so take this as her observation not mine: But there is a big issue with that very randomly inserted backstory. Not Endeavor chastising himself, that’s fine. And no I don’t mean the father/daughter death foreshadowing something for Endeavor and Touya. Not that (I’ll touch on that at the end), I mean this fucking origin that Endeavor seems to have ✨magically✨ forgotten when he actually HIT the top hero spot. And had to ask All Might what it means to be number one, and All Might had to tell him it’s for the children and the future. Like, Endeavor if your origin and inspiration to BECOME a HERO was from seeing parental sacrifice, why the fuck did you need to hear that from a non-parent adult. And how has this not become so much as a thought in your head until NOW, when you’ve been reflecting on your role as a parent for the half of the story? How? See what I mean? It makes no fucking sense. It’s out of nowhere.
And tbh I didn’t need Endeavor’s reason for becoming a hero. Like yay we have it, cool, but it was unnecessary. Honestly.
I agree with the opinions I’m seeing that it’s disjointed and confusing. Now idk what Hori was going for, and I don’t really care because nothing about the story as a whole changes for me. But please, for the love of Christ move on if stagnating this character was gonna be the end game of this chapter. I can’t tell if that’s even what I should think. He had a good reflection on his past, he did! But then going back to saying “Oop, gotta defeat this villain!! That’s my mission!” Like no, that’s your job, but your mission should have been focusing on your sons on the battle field. Otherwise what was the point of this good development last chapter:
Tumblr media
Thankfully he didn’t completely abandon this development, but still this whole thing feels fucking out of nowhere and out of place.
Addressing the father/daughter dying concern:
Yeah. Honestly it’s annoying. Because I’m sure it’s there to scare us later. An Endeavor fake out death was always a prediction, and now it seems like it’ll be a “son saves Endeavor from dying and we’ll think they both died but they didn’t” type of situation.
No, I don’t think it foreshadows the end of the Todorokis. The family needs to be whole, per the story itself. It’s what both main characters of the subplot want. Endeavor losing his arm makes me think exactly this because tbh, who cares that he lost an arm 🙄🙄. Do I really think he’s gonna die right here and now? No. Though I’m sure the suspense for other people reading is real, so good job I guess. Still feels really unnecessary imo. But it being there paves a way for us to actually wonder if he’s gonna survive later at some point, and I’m sure both sons will be there for the death scare.
Then also, these well-placed, important moments have significantly more weight in the story than this random ass pull Hori gave us this week:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Personally I’m not worried. But I saw concern about it and I get it. This backstory is super annoying and to me feels unnecessary because we really could just end the story but instead we’re bouncing back and forth and continuing to make one specific character a complete pain in the ass to follow.
Overall though, chapter isn’t terrible. Not a waste like I originally thought. But imo it really isn’t a well-done chapter.

"Here, at least drink some-" "I'm fine" "No you're not. You're too busy to drink water you're not fine" Or something along those lines for like college au Feysand? Please!
AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! Thank you so much!! I literally started happy dancing in my room when I got this, thank you! 
And seriously guys, please, I love answering asks like these. They let me know what you all want to read in the fandom, and I’m more than happy to write it!
masterlist
Rhys’s heart clenched as he entered the living area of their small, studio apartment. Countless sketches littered the floor, accompanied by an ungodly amount of pencils, charcoals, and pens. He knew something bad had happened when his eyes snagged on the tub of caramel ice cream in the garbage bin. And instantly knew what had happened: critique day.
Stepping around the coat rack which obscured his view of the rest of the room, he found Feyre half-crouched on a tarp, sketching on a canvas, that hoodie she had stolen from him after their first date, which was so covered in paint that you couldn’t see the logo, draping over her thin frame.
He cleared his throat loudly, raising an eyebrow at the mess surrounding her. “Busy, aren’t we?” Teasing, always teasing.
Feyre flushed a bright red, having jumped slightly when he cleared his throat. “I’m so sorry, I have a big project coming up, but I’ll clean everything, I swear.” her hair was up in a messy, messy bun, held in place by a paintbrush, which was dripping blue paint into her hair.
He grinned softly, carefully making his way to their bed, and dropping his backpack. “No, don’t worry about it. You don’t freak out when I make a mess with all my papers. This is nothing.”
She gave him a grateful smile, and went back to glaring at her artwork.
He knew better than to interrupt her by trying to make conversation; she would be nice, would humor him, but would likely be counting the seconds until she could shrug, and return to her canvas.
Rhys propped himself up, content to ignore his work in favor of watching her work. She was magnificent, truly. He would never understand how she managed to take a pencil and paper, and turn it into such an incredible thing. 
Hell, he didn’t understand why she loved art so much, only knowing that it made her happy, and he really didn’t care about the why. Knowing that those small, wooden brushes brought her so much joy was more than enough to banish any lack of understanding on his part.
Sighing, he relegated himself to working on his essay, which was due in a few weeks, and dragged his attention from the girl who had captured his heart.
They were nearly in the home stretch, graduation only a few short months away. And he couldn’t believe it. That cold, rainy night he had spotted her across the room at Rita’s had been nearly four years ago, and yet it all passed by in a flash. So much had changed, that he didn’t believe it some days. They had gone from semi-strangers, to two people who would one day get married.
Marriage. It was a topic they discussed often, and shared the same opinions on. They both wanted to marry, though they knew they were way too broke. But one day. One day, when they had enough money, and weren’t living practically paycheck to paycheck, he was going to get down on one knee, and ask her to be his wife.
Hours later, the sun had set and he at last looked up from his laptop to find that Feyre had barely moved, still in that strange crouch. His heart gave a warm tug, and he had to fight the urge to go over and wrap his arm around her. 
Again, he cleared his throat, artfully dodging countless paintings and sketches on the floor, as Feyre had a system he didn’t want to disturb. “Darling, what would you like for dinner?” He called, rummaging through the kitchen cabinets.
“No thanks!” She replied after a few moments. “I have to work on this.”
Rhys frowned, sticking his head out into the main room.
She glanced up, giving him an apologetic smile.
And again, his heart tugged at the sight. She had ink smudged across her cheekbone. And Rhys couldn’t stop himself from making his way to her, kneeling down, and pressing a kiss to her lips. “Alright,” He murmured, thumb wiping away that ink, “just don’t work yourself too hard, alright?”
Feyre nodded, giving him a chaste kiss, and humming to herself.
Sighing to himself, he made his way back to the kitchen, and made a dinner of champions: scrambled eggs. He made sure to make more than necessary, before heaping them all onto a plate, and plopping down near his girlfriend, content to watch her work. 
She glanced up, eyes lingering on his plate. She licked her lips, and glared half-heartedly at him. “I know what you’re doing,” She hissed, slowly migrating towards him, “and it’s not going to work.”
Hiding his smirk behind a mouthful of eggs, he replied, “Am noff doon amyfin. Promith.”
Feyre scoffed, taking the second fork he had hidden under the plate, and began helping herself to his food.
She wound up finishing most of it, but he didn’t care, only kissed her forehead, and began preparing to take a shower, then go to bed. As he scrubbed himself clean, he took far less time than normal, eager to hold her as he fell asleep.
When Rhys returned, hair damp and clad in only boxers and an old t-shirt, he was disappointed to find Feyre exactly as he had left her, crouched over that canvas.
But he simply slid under the covers of their bed, and watched her sketch and paint until his eyelids grew heavy, and he succumbed to the warm grip of sleep.
*****
He awoke to bright sunlight streaming in through the blinds, letting out an undignified groan. Rolling onto his side, he threw out an arm to seek out his love. It hit nothing but cool sheets.
Eyes remaining closed, he groped around the bed, trying to find her.
Then his hand smacked into something cold, and wet.
He groaned, still half-asleep, assuming that something had been spilled on the bed, and raked his fingers through his hair, and rubbed at his face to wake himself up.
When he opened his eyes, it took every ounce of strength to resist swearing ferociously. His hands were covered in blue and yellow paint, courtesy of the pallet resting on the edge of the bed.
Rhys shook his head, fighting to keep the annoyance out of his voice. “Hey, Archeron, can you come here?” he called. The bathroom door creaked open, and she tiptoed out. Clad in leggings and a tattered blue shirt, he nearly forgot what he was going to say. At last, coherent thoughts return, as Feyre lets out a horrified gasp.
“Oh gods, I am so sorry!” She said, hands coming up to cover her mouth. “I-I didn’t think you were going to wake up, and I didn’t have room to put it w-”
Sighing, he held up a hand. “Don’t worry, alright? Just, please, can we agree that there’s no more paint in bed?”
She nodded, turning towards where she had left her backpack the day before. “Alright. I’ll clean up after class, I promise. But I’ve got to go, okay? Love you.” With that she was slipping out of their apartment.
Rhys groaned, but slipped out of bed. He was fully aware that she would most likely forget to clean once her classes ended. After a long shower, spent mainly trying to scrub the paint from himself, he slipped off to his first class.
Already, he was planning what he could bring Feyre for dinner. He knew she was busy, and likely would be for at least the next week. But that didn’t mean that he couldn’t bring her some foods that he knew she liked.
*****
He returned to their apartment long after dark, to find her in that strange crouching position. Carrying a bag of takeout chinese food, he held it up victoriously. “I have returned!” He cheered.
Feyre didn’t even glance up, only giving a small wave.
His smile vanished. “Aren’t you going to eat?”
Again, she didn’t look up. “I’m busy, Rhys.” She almost snapped.
Something within him crunched, but he forced his feelings down. This was Feyre, and she loved him. Rhys knew she wasn’t trying to hurt him, she was just busy. He sighed, but made his way to the kitchen, to dish himself up some food.
He muddled around slowly, making a large mug of peppermint tea, which he knew to be his girlfriend’s favorite. When he brought it out to her, she simply waved it off, muttering something about being busy, and having to work on her painting.
And again, he made his way back into the kitchen, sitting at the table and slowly eating the plate full of delicious food. Rhys didn’t taste anything other than dirt. His eyes lingered on her, watching as she moved back and forth over that damn canvas.
He loved her, so much that it hurt.
And he wanted her to be happy. More than anything.
Painting made her happy, and so he supported her endeavor to become an artist. He knew that came with many big projects that were very, very important. He also knew that she was a perfectionist, and sometimes became too involved in her work; to the point where she would forget to eat or sleep for days on end.
He was worried that she was falling into that pit, becoming too absorbed in her art. That was why he decided to test her.
So he stood from the table, and prepared a large glass of ice water, before carrying it out to her. “Feyre,” he said, holding out the glass to her, “I brought you some water.”
“No thanks.” She replied, not looking up at him. “I’m busy, Rhys. I really, really have to work on this.”
He slowly knelt down beside her, careful to not disturb the canvas. “I know you do, and I understand that. All I’m asking is that you take a break to drink some water.”
She huffed, glaring at him. “I said I’m busy. Please, just let me work on this!”
He held her gaze unflinchingly. “I have known you for almost four years, Feyre Archeron.” He said, daring her to huff again. “And I have hardly ever asked you for anything, now have I?” When she opened her mouth to object, Rhys gave her a stern glare. “I have never seriously asked you for anything. Have I?” 
Feyre shook her head slowly.
“All I’m asking you to do is to please just take a drink of water. Please, darling. I’m worried about you.”
“I’m fine!” She insisted, rolling her eyes. “I’m just busy, Rhysand.”
“Too busy to stop for water?”
“YES!” She snapped, making to return to her work.
He stopped her with a hand on her chin, turning her head back towards him. “Then you’re not fine.” He said, daring her to disagree. “I understand that you’re busy, love. I do, I know. But this isn’t healthy.”
Eyelids drooping in defeat, she reached for the glass, and took a long sip. “Alright.” She murmured, moving towards him. “Maybe I’ve been a bit hard on myself…”
Arms moving to scoop her up, Rhys chuckled as he carried her over to their bed. “Maybe just a little.” He tucked her in gently, and quickly pulled up Netflix on his laptop, setting it in the middle of the bed. “Now, I’m going to get the takeout, and we’re going to spend tonight in bed, relaxing.”
She looked up, alarmed. “Rhys, my project-”
He smiled warmly down at her. “I went to talk to Mrs. Ressina today. She said that this is an extra credit project, and that it isn’t due for almost a month.” Again, Feyre looked like she wanted to protest. “Darling, I’m no artist, but I know that you can take one evening off.”
Feyre huffed, but didn’t disagree.
He took that as a good sign, and went to fetch their dinner, which was mercifully still warm, along with her tea.
When he returned, she was sound asleep, The Princess Bride playing quietly from his laptop. Rhys smiled softly, setting her tea on the bedside table, then putting the food back in the fridge. He gently changed her out of her paint-stained clothes, into a pair of his sweats and t-shirts, and cleaned her face, before crawling in next to her, and drawing her to rest against his chest.
Immediately, she moved to snuggle closer, and he smiled softly.
With one hand, he typed out a few emails on his phone to their professors, explaining that they both had wicked colds, and would not be able to attend class the next day.
Professor Ressina replied within minutes, her email pulling a dry chuckle from his lips. You seemed very ill today, almost bedridden. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids, and let Feyre know she is excused from the rest of the week. Have fun, kids.
He placed his phone on the headboard, and pulled Feyre closer, drifting slowly off to sleep.

LAST CHAPTER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tumblr media
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“What can you do?”
“How old are you?”
“Are you Eleven’s sister?”
“Just how strong are you?”
“Can you show us?”
The kids continued to throw question after question at you, expecting them to be answered, but leaving you with no time to answer them. You just stared at them with wide eyes until Hopper cut them off with a harsh tone.
“I’ll be asking the questions here.” And silence befell on them once again. Wow, you thought. He really had a talent for getting people to shut up.
You looked to him and he reeked of frustration and worry. However, when he spoke, there was an ounce of sympathy in his voice. “Why were you in that chamber?” You knew he was going to ask that. It was obvious enough, but it still made you cringe with discomfort. You didn’t want to talk about that chamber, because for you, that thing was a personal hell you thought you would never escape from. It was frightening and you never wanted to go back. However, answers were something that they deserved. Not only would it have helped them through this crisis, it would also give them some trust in you.
So, you cleared your throat and began to speak, slowly but carefully. “Well...since you know Eleven...you must already know...what the lab did…to her...to us.” He nodded. “I was the first one...they did it to… They always said that…they got lucky with me. That I was their best experiment and...would lay the groundwork for the others after me. That's why...all the kids who did survive the experiments, got one or two of my abilities.”
“And what exactly are your abilities,” Dustin asked with a grin, but Hopper wasn’t amused. He shot Dustin a death glare, but he didn't seem to notice it.
“I-I can move things...with my mind,” you revealed. “And make people see what I want them to see… I can read minds too and...tell what people are feeling.”
“Can you control people?”
“No. I haven't been able to that...not yet at least.” You caught a glimpse of Hopper's annoyed expression and gulped nervously. “Anyway... The reason I was in that chamber in the first place is because...I helped the other kids escape. Three, Seven, and Eight.”
“You mean there's other kids out there right now,” he asked.
“Well, not ‘here’ here, but...around. That day...I wasn't able to get Eleven out, but luckily...she was able to get out on her own.”
“While I was in there though, I could hear things - voices. At first, I-I didn't know who they belonged to, but I slowly started to realize what was going on. The first voice I heard was from that woman, Joyce...and she was talking...about him.” You pointed to Will who was asleep on the couch with a blanket over him. “He went missing and you found him, but now...something's wrong with him.”
“You know what's wrong?”
You nodded, while never breaking eye contact with him. “I know everything...because...I heard everything. I know all of you too. I recognize you from your voices.”
At that, everyone glanced between each other in astonishment. You, you were someone that they just met, someone who had just entered the picture without warning. Yet, you seemed to know more about what was going on than they did. Hell, you even knew all of them without a proper introduction. So if that didn’t show a fraction of what you were capable of, then they didn’t know what could. You were someone worth the bargain. Even so, Hopper felt compelled to ask one last thing.
“How long were you in there?”
You shrugged, “5 years, give or take.”
“Shit,” one of the kids breathed out and you could make it out as Lucas. Hopper sighed deeply and you could tell it was from a mixture of sympathy and desperation.
“I'm sorry to ask this of you, but...we need your help.”
“And I'll give it,” you blurted out without hesitation. “I was going to give it regardless.” You said more quietly as you looked over to Will. “There’s a darkness in Hawkins that we need to stop...and it starts with him.”
__________________________________________
“Okay, so if this thing is like a brain that’s controlling everything, then if we kill it...we kill everything that it controls.” You nodded as you continued to stare at the page from Dustin’s D&D manual. Mike’s deduction made sense, but the same question still stood. How do you-
“How do you kill this thing? Shoot it with fireballs or something?”
You jumped in surprise as Hopper snatched the manual away, trying to find the answer for himself. Dustin eventually spoke up, but it was less than confident.
“Well, uh, you summon an undead army, um, because-because zombies, you know, they don’t have brains.” He began to stumble over his own words. “And the mind flayer, it-it… It likes brains. It’s just a game. It’s a game,” he finally confessed.
“What the hell are we doing here,” Hopper groaned. Things weren’t looking good and that became more evident as Hopper and Dustin started to argue.
“I thought we were waiting for your military backup.”
“We are!”
“How are they gonna stop this? You can't just shoot this with guns.”
“You don't know that! We don't know anything!”
“We know it's already killed everybody in that lab. We know the monsters are gonna molt again. We know that it's only a matter of time before those tunnels reach this town.”
“They’re right,” a voice interrupted. Joyce. “We have to kill it.”
Your face softened as you turned to face her. She was being overwhelmed by grief, sadness, and anger, but who could blame her obviously. She lost someone she loved.
“I want to kill it,” she declared.
“Me too, Joyce. Me too.” Hopper was doing his best to calm her; but deep down, he couldn’t even do that for himself. “But how do we do that?” And it hit you.
“Will knows.” Everyone stopped and turned to you. “Will knows how to kill it, because he’s connected to it. He already knows everything about it and that includes its weaknesses.”
“I thought we couldn’t trust him anymore - that he’s a spy for the mind flayer now,” Max reminded, causing Mike to shake his head.
“Yeah, but he can't spy if he doesn't know where he is.”
“Exactly,” you confirmed. “This will work.”
__________________________________________
You all decided that the shed in the backyard would be the best place for Will’s interrogation. It was small, making it perfect to disguise in a short amount of time. So, you all went outside to find materials that could help in your endeavor.
You were encouraged to not use your powers until the real threat came and while that wasn't a terrible idea, you also hadn’t used your powers in five years. You were rusty and needed as much practice as you could get. So, whenever the kids came upon an object that was either too heavy to carry or too high on a shelf to reach, you helped them. It was enough for now.
You let out a small sigh as you wiped the blood dripping from your nose. “You okay,” you heard someone ask and you turned to find Hopper. You nodded.
“Ye-yeah, I’m okay. Thank you.” You moved to go back into the house since most of the preparations were finished already, but stopped once he spoke again.
“I’m sorry again that all of this was so sudden and that...we weren’t able to save you under more normal circumstances.”
“Oh… That-that’s okay,” you told him. “I’m just glad that...that you got me out...and honestly, this couldn’t have been a more perfect time. You need my help to stop this thing. So… I guess what I’m really trying to say is...thank you. Thank you for saving me.” You managed a small smile as you looked up at him and he simply nodded in response. However, the tiniest of smiles reached his lips as well.
“I know you said you already know me, but I think...you at least deserve something more proper than this,” he reached his hand out. “Jim Hopper.”
You gazed down at his hand for a bit before taking it like you thought you were supposed to. You tried to match his grip as you smiled wider, “One.”
__________________________________________
You sat in the kitchen, hugging your knees to your chest. It was the first time you were left alone since being freed and now, you couldn’t ignore all the emotions floating around you. Anger, fear, regret, guilt, sadness, pain. To make it worse, you could hear every sad thing being said in the shed. It didn’t matter if you weren’t there. You could still hear everything like you always did.
Do you know what March 22nd is? It's your birthday. Your birthday.
Do you remember the day Dad left? We stayed up all night building Castle Byers… just the way you drew it.
I just felt so alone and scared, but… I saw you alone on the swings and you were alone too.
Tears ran down your cheeks and you couldn’t tell if they were for them, yourself and the life you could’ve had, or both. It was all becoming too much to bear and you couldn’t help the tears that kept falling and the sniffles that started to leave you. It wasn’t until you heard someone walk in that you tried to contain yourself. You tried to get rid of the tears with the sleeves of your shirt, but it seems like you didn’t try hard enough.
“Hey… Hey, are you crying?” And you froze. No one had ever spoken to you like that before. No one had ever used a voice that was so genuine and calming that it was enough to make your tears stop. That voice provided instant relief and you didn’t know why. You looked up to the owner of that voice and it was none other than Steve with a face of worry plastered on him.
You gazed into his eyes for a bit before answering. They were brown, just like most of the world’s, yet they still managed to be different. They still managed to be incredibly warm and beautiful. It was quite soothing. You gulped softly before averting your gaze.
“No,” you uttered, but of course he wasn’t convinced.
“Then, what’s all this,” he asked, gesturing toward your glossy eyes and red nose.
“Um, I- It just comes with the power.” You smiled softly in an attempt to make him believe you.
“Oh, so a bad case of allergies comes with your powers?” You looked at him in astonishment before bursting out in laughter, something you didn’t even know you were capable of.
“What? No.”
“Well, that’s what you said,” he began to laugh as well as he grinned a smile that could’ve made your heart stop.
“That’s not what I meant,” you tried to explain. “It’s just that...with my power...I can feel the emotions of everyone around me, but it’s not something I can really turn off. So sometimes... it can be very overwhelming...like right now.”
“Yeah, it really isn’t the best time, huh?” You shook your head, causing him to hum in response. “What if you just focused on one person?” Your eyes widened.
“Huh?”
“What do you feel when you feel me?” His eyes widened too. “Wait, that sounds weird.” You let out a small chuckle as he started to panic. “I mean, what do you feel when...um-what do you feel when you see me?”
You tilted your head to the side as you felt him. Not physically, but just through the way you gazed at him.
“Worry and...nervousness,” you confirmed. “You’re a lot more tame than everyone else here.”
“Well, that’s a good thing, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, it is,” you chuckled, and you didn’t notice the way his eyes scanned over your features or the way he smirked after.
“So, your name’s One, huh? Like the number?” You furrowed your eyebrows.
“Yes.”
“But it’s not your actual name.” You shook your head, only confirming his thoughts.
“No. I don’t remember what my actual name was. One was just the name they gave me. We were never...people to them. We were just numbers...experiments.”
“That’s really messed up. I’m sorry.” You shook your head again.
“It-it’s okay.” However, he could still tell from you expression that it wasn’t.
“How about...we give you a new name? A real name?”
For some reason, your heart flutter at his suggestion and a warmth flushed your cheeks.
“Um, I think-I think I’d like that,” you told him and his eyes gleamed.
“Ok, names names. What do you look like?” He brought his hand to his chin and pondered for a bit. “How about… Stacy?” You grimaced without meaning to and he took that as a no. “Alright... Oh! Heather.” You shook your head. “Really?”
“Really,” you responded.
“Ok, ok. How about… Let me think. (Y/N). That’s a nice name.”
(Y/N). It was simple and different all at once, and the way it rolled it off his tongue made you like it even more.
“I think that’s it,” you smirked and he mimicked you right away.
“Well, (Y/N). I’m Steve Harrington.” He stuck his hand out and you took it gently. His hand was a lot bigger than yours in comparison, but a lot softer. It was warm and careful, like he was afraid he would crush your hand if he squeezed a bit too tightly. It was sweet.
“Well, Steve Harrington. I’m…(Y/N).”
“Nice to meet you.” You both giggled softly until you were cut off by Mike yelling ‘We got something!’
“Duty calls,” Steve sighed and you nodded, letting go of his hand reluctantly.
Although the moment was short, you appreciated Steve going out of his way to make you feel better. He comforted you and even made you laugh. It was like for a moment, you weren’t in this situation. For a moment, it felt like it was just the two of you - living and living happily.
_________________________________ 
While you and Steve were talking, the group in the shed was able to bring Will back. Not fully, but partly. It turned out that the recollection of his memories was helping him gain some control within his body. It wasn’t much, but it was enough. He tapped his fingers until he spelt ‘Here’ and with every memory someone spouted, a new letter came after. Eventually, you all got the answer that you had been hoping for.
“Close the gate,” you all read aloud in unison. Before you could even process that however, the phone started ringing and a nauseating pain was sent to the pit of your stomach.
The feeling only worsened when Nancy yanked the phone out of the wall. You already knew it was too late.
“They know where we are,” you stated and the monsters screeching in the distance only proved that.
“That’s not good,” Hopper muttered. “Come on. We gotta go.” He motioned for everyone to follow him, but there was nowhere to go. It was too dangerous to leave. It was too dangerous to even think about leaving. You could already feel those things nearby. 
You shook your furiously, “No, no. Get away from the windows!” Everyone was stunned by the volume of your voice, but seeing as you were the only strong enough to handle these things, no one complained. They easily compiled and started huddling up in the living room, preparing themselves for attack. You subconsciously put your arm in front of Steve and the other out in front of you. The growling steadily grew closer and closer and the closer it got, the more you tensed up. You weren't strong enough yet and you knew it, but that wasn't an excuse. You still had to protect them. You would protect them. 
So you waited, waited for something to come crashing through the door... But it never came. Instead, the growling was replaced by thrashing and you instantly knew who it was. 
Something came crashing through the window and everyone pointed their weapons at it. You glanced over and it was one of the monsters, freshly dead. Everyone else was alarmed but you. 
“It's okay,” you whispered, but they were more confused than reassured. The lock to the door slowly started to turn and everyone aimed their weapons at it.
With a small click, the door unlocked and creaked open. Once they set foot into the house, you smiled softly. 
“Eleven.”

todomomo (first kiss) headcanons (because I'm dying with love for them)
-They get together Senior year of high school, but before they were official a lot of things happened. -Yaomomo has had a crush on him since freshman year, but she didn't think anything would come of it so pretended she didn't find him attractive and his personality endearing -It was hard -His shirt burns so easily when he's not in costume and damn he has great abs -But she's staring for purely research purpose!! Gotta check to see how buff he is to come up with a plan to help/beat him in a fight!! -Yep totally the reason -and during class he was always one of the first people to notice if something was wrong, whether it was another person or herself. - She admired how observant he was so much -She admired so much about him actually, his looks were helpful in liking him, but his personality and actions captivated her so much more -like how he's so dedicated to become a hero and seemed to be born to do so in how he speaks and acts (which he actually was) -and he's genuine drive to be a better person then his father and how he learns from his mistakes made him so admirably and great in Yaomomo's eyes. -She liked him for that and so, so much more -And all the reasons why she liked him where the very same reasons why she was sure he'd never like her. -Shouto didn't realize he had feelings for her for the longest time -They just appeared one day a couple months before summer and he's just like "?????" -He saw her helping some of their classmates with homework and that started him on the thought process of how good of a person she is -Like she's always helping everyone in anyway she can -and she encourages them -and she's brilliantly intelligent and is amazing at analyzing villains -and her quirk is useful for being a hero and she utilizes it perfectly -and then his heart started racing and he was so confused and concerned -and after a couple days of his heart speeding up whenever he saw Yaomomo, he decided to ask his mom and sister about it during the weekend, figuring maybe they'd know what was wrong with his heart before he went to medical professionals -and so he asked when he and Fuyumi visited their mom -was he overworking himself? Stress? An enemy quirk? -he hoped it wasn't an enemy quirk making his heart act weird when he looked at Yaomomo, he liked looking at her -and his mom and Fuyumi both got kind of excited because he likes someone!!! -And he's so confused -why are they happy?? Do they want him to be stressed or under a quirk?? -and when they explain to him what they think his heart racing means, he's kind of.... unsure what to think of it. -he's never liked a person before, and the only relationship he had was in 3rd year, which Endeavor forced him into for a publicity stunt -the girl was the daughter of some important hero family, and had liked him a lot more then he liked her -plus his parents relationship wasn't the best, so he's not exactly sure what you're supposed to do when you like someone -the only other examples he has are his classmates, and they aren't exactly perfect role models when it comes to confessing feelings -so he keeps his possible feelings to himself and tries to make it through the rest of the semester without making it obvious -he more or less succeeds, though Midoriya, Kirishima, and Ochaco have their suspicions after he slips a couple times -so they both go into summer before senior year liking each other -their first kiss happened that summer, at one of the fancy parties Yaomomo's parents throw (psssst I might be writing a one shot about their first kiss ;) -Neither of them knew the other was going to be there -Shouto didn't recognize the house since it was at the Yaoyozoru's summer home, and Momo hadn't checked the guest list -when she sees him standing off to the side, she goes over to talk with him as quickly as she can without seeming rude to the other guests -she's concerned with how distant he is, and he confesses that his mom's sick and he's having a hard time thinking of anything else except his concern -to try and get his mind off of it, Momo asks if he would like to go to the study hall and do some prep work for school, or to just read - he doesn't see why they shouldn't -Momo isn't supposed to go into the study hall outside of an allotted time, as she will just spend all her free time in there so her parents lock it and she out of respect for them doesn't replicate the key -she respects them but she isn't above telling them a little white lie -her mother knows Momo likes a boy from her class and is super paranoid about her getting into a "scandalous" relationship -so if Momo told the truth, that she wanted to go study alone with a boy, her mother would put her foot down and say no -so she lies and says she's not feeling well, and would like to relax in the calming that the study hall is for her -after getting the key, she and Shouto sneak off to the study hall where they had all the plans to study and read and do nothing else. -but.... there was a change of plans -it wasn't either of their fault! They had been reading different books and just sitting in silence, when Momo had pointed out something she found interesting in the book she was reading -and Shouto moved closer to read over her shoulder -and Momo forgot what she was saying as she could feel a little bit of his breath on her - and as she trailed off, she noticed how close their faces were -and they both just looked at each other, inches apart -hearts racing in the dim light -Momo doesn't know if she kissed him or if he kissed her -Either way, they didn't stop kissing until the butler came knocking on the door, informing her that the party was over and she needed to come say goodbye to the guests with her parents -Shouto snuck back into the slowly dissolving party easily, while Momo checked and made sure she didn't look like she felt: red faced and disheveled -her parents didn't seem to notice anything, so she was sure she was in the clear, she politely stood by them while they talked to the line of departing guests -Yaomomo had forgotten she'd have to see him face to face in front of her parents, and was only reminded when she saw him a couple people back in the line -She did rather well in staying composed, she shook his hand and smiled at him easily, what was hard was not thinking that his hands had been holding her minutes before, and that the lips that were almost smiling at her had been kissing her -she almost lasted, but then as he was walking away, he looked back at her and with a genuine smile on his lips told her he would see her at school -Yaomomo's blushed then, but the thought made her smile genuine in return -As he walked away, she decided that senior year was going to be much more fulfilling then she had assumed it would -Yaomomo woke up the next morning with her cellphone going off like crazy: most of the texts where from Mina and Kyoka, who last night Momo had decided to tell that she'd kissed someone, -she had been overcome with excitement and needed to share it with somebody and those two were the first that popped into her mind -Momo hadn't specified who, and that was what the two girls where texting her madly about -Her heart sped up though when she noticed that one of the texts was from Shouto -it wasn't a long text, short and simple and right to the point - He was asking if she wanted to meet up with him for lunch -He apparently couldn't wait for school to see her, and Momo couldn't wait either
