Imagine: going to a costume party with Edmund Pevensie, dressed as a king and a queen

Something that had stricken you during your first meeting with Edmund was the aura of royalty that surrounded him. He's just a teenage boy, but you can't shake off the feeling that he has seen a lot, maybe even fought wars and travelled through kingdoms. He even told you such stories sometimes, and as odd as they are, they feel... believable.
That's why it makes sense to you that when he invites you to a costume party and you agree to go with him, Edmund suggests going dressed as a king and a queen.
You often felt unsure about this idea, wondering if you should've accepted Edmund's invitation. Yet there you are, standing in front of a mirror, already in a gown you have sewn yourself for this occasion.
It's very muffled initially, but you can hear your mom talking with Edmund who arrived to pick you up; she lets him in and leads him to your room.
"I feel stupid," you say when he enters, not even letting him say anything. "We really shouldn't go."
"What are you talking about? You look beautiful."
"Thank you, but... I don't think I'm going to belong."
Edmund stands next to you and puts his hand on your shoulder, giving you a reassuring smile.
"I don't care what they think of us at the party, you definitely belong by my side. You know you're my perfect queen."
You can't help but laugh. In his stories you would be great as a queen by his side. Although it plays well into your view of him, you don't know how to feel about it. You only blush and smile back at Edmund when he adds:
"You look beautiful tonight. I'm sure it'll be appreciated at the party. But now we should get going."
You leave your room arm in arm with Edmund, growing more and more happy to spend the night together.

Expect to see more of them in the next couple of days.

You rarely ever make dinner other than the frozen food that's quick and easy to prepare. Only on days like today, when Hopper stops by your place, you actually put some effort into the food you'd sit to eat together.
You and Jim have been friends with benefits ever since you moved to Hawkins a couple of years back. You met him by accident when you were running some errands in town, but it didn't stop you from being instantly drawn to him. Jim must've felt the same, as he would visit you more and more often. Things soon became heated and the room at your place he would visit most often was your bedroom. Despite you two being so close, you've never dared to ask to be something more with him. It seems... natural that you're just friends.
Your reminiscence of the past is interrupted by a knock on a door. You turn off the stove and rush to let Jim in. It takes you by surprise when after opening the door, you see him with flowers in hand, wearing a flannel shirt that you've never seen before. Struck by his appearance, you freeze in place for a second.
"Hi, Y/N," he says, "are you going to let me in or..."
"Sure, come in," you respond, moving out of his way. "Hey, is this flannel new? Are you seeing someone else after?"
"This?" he points at his shirt, sounding surprised. "No, I just haven't worn it in a while, but it is one of my better ones. But why would I see anyone else later?"
"Because you never dress up for me. And the flowers..."
"Oh, that. Yeah... Well, it's all for you, this is a special occasion and..."
Seeing him so flustered makes you laugh a little and ask:
"An occasion? Are we celebrating something? I would make something even better for dinner and..."
"Don't worry about that, sweetheart," he tells you and explains: "We're not celebrating today, but next week it'll be two years since we first met and I thought it's high time for us to become more than friends. I was hoping that... you would go on a date with me."
"You mean... an actual date? Not this... thing we do every few days?"
"Yes, that's what I mean. Unless you don't feel the same..."
"I feel exactly the same," you stop him with a reassurance. "I'll go on that date with you."
Hopper gives you a big smile and leans in for a kiss, which you gladly accept.
