I couldn't help but sigh, when I saw the fight. It really was a bit uncomfortable when I saw them fight. But thankfully I had left early because I could still hear Karen's voice. From her tone, it was clear that she was fighting with Ted. Even Mike could hear their voices. Mike sighed and asked me with a guilty expression, "I am the reason they are fighting, right?" I looked at him for a second and said, "You are. "
He looked at me with a dumbfounded expression. Raising my eyebrows, I asked, "What?" Mike stuttered and said, "Well.. I. I didn't expect you to say that. I thought you would I don't know say something like, 'No Mike, it isn't your fault. ' A great motivation you are.. " I couldn't help but chuckle when I heard that.
"Well, I would say nothing but the truth. I don't have to be gentle with you. Because if I became gentle with you, you would be bullied by more Dantes and Troys in your life. ", I said with a smile, as I ruffled his hair.
I was a little taller than Mike, because of my physique. Although I hadn't done any subathe for a long time, I still had enough strength in me. I do have to sunbathe a lot. And the system has been silent for a long time. Well, the last time system was active, was when I had found that system had robed me of my powers and I would need to either follow the plot and be involved in it, or I have to destroy the plot completely. But according to the system, destroying a plot would be more bountiful for me.
From the KPoints I receive, I could enjoy the benefits of the system. The system mall wasn't yet open, so I had no idea what exactly the system mall had. Maybe, there was something to upgrade my bloodline. But my bloodline was already the best. It should be, since that's what I had wished for. Maybe there would be some miniature sun, that could be placed inside me, like those fanfics with Kryptonians.
There was no other way to earn KPoints, which still did sound weird to think of. But well, System☕ I guess.
After calming down Mike, I left, but not before giving him a piece of advice. I said, "Will's your friend, more than mine. You both were the ones to have that spark, you know. So it is you, that has to do things for him. But remember safety is also a priority for you. "
I didn't told him for which context I had spoken. But I was sure that with my advice he would at least search for Will, like he, Dustin and Lucas did in the OG show. I just quickened their plans. Because if they were to do that, I would get to meet Eleven early. Although she had buzzed hair in the first season, she was a beauty, that's something that every one can agree upon. [ A/N: If someone doesn't, face me, I will break your fking jaws with my punch. ]
But there was still time, I heard Mike and the other two talk with each other on that walkie talkie like thing, they used to talk to each other. It was more like a personal phone for them. I just shared Mike's walkie talkie thing to talk with the others, since I didn't use it a lot like them. I just talked whenever necessary.
I went to Nancy's room, to talk to her, since she was also upset from her fight with Mike. And she had probably heard the fight between Ted and Karen.
Knocking on her door, I called, "Hey, Nan.. It's me. Joey. " There was silence on the other side of the door. Even with my heightened hearing, I could just hear the sounds of someone breathing. And that someone was Nancy. I had already been familiar with her breath. We lived under the same roof, so it isn't actually weird for me to become like this.
"Come In. ", she spoke softly. But I heard them clearly, again thanks to my heighted senses. I looked at her, she was sitting on her bed, with a pillow in her hand, hugging the soft pillow. I noticed the wet patch like area on the pillow. I thought she was doing something private, you know what I mean?
But that's when I noticed the tear marks on her face, which she hadn't properly wiped.
I sat on the bed, obviously I had kept the door closed. I didn't want others to see us, while we were talking. I hate such things when even your personal words are being spied upon by others.
I softly talked with hers and even cracked a joke or two to make her happy. And it was easy for me to do so. She hugged me all of a sudden. I was surprised by her hug, but I hugged her back, and held her as tight as she had been holding me. She whispered, "Thankyou. " I didn't gave her any reply. I had no idea what to reply to her. So I just tightened my hug, as I laid a kiss on her forehead.
I could hear both of our heart beats going faster and faster. It was probably common for both of us. We could feel the power coursing through our veins, and we knew that something incredible was about to happen.
As Nancy took my hand, I turned to look at her, our gaze locking on each other. I could see the love and trust in her eyes, and it filled me with a sense of awe and wonder.
Without a word, Nancy leaned in and kissed me, her lips soft and warm against mine. My heart raced as I responded, my lips melding with hers in a fiery passion. I could feel the power in my body rising to the surface, and I knew that I must be careful not to let it overwhelm myself.
As we kissed, my senses become heightened, and I could feel everything around us in perfect clarity. I could feel the cool night air on my skin, the warmth of Nancy's body pressed against mine, and the vibrations of the world beneath my feet. The intensity of the moment was almost too much to bear, but both of us refused to break the kiss.
Finally, as the kiss came to an end, I pulled back slightly, my eyes locked on Nancy's. I could see the love and trust in her gaze, and it filled me with a sense of wonder and awe. For a moment, we just remained there, holding each other close, lost in the moment.
"I never thought I could feel this way," Nancy whispers, her voice soft and full of emotion.
I leaned in and kissed her once more, our lips meeting in a blaze of passion. As we broke apart, we could feel the world settling back into place around them.
I would have continued, but that's when I heard Mike, he was sneaking out of the house. So I excused myself with a kiss on Nancy's lips and whispered, "Love you. " Then I walked out of her room, and went straight to mine. I locked my room from inside, and jumped out of the balcony. Thankfully I controlled my strength and didn't break the floor under my feet.
It was also at this moment that the phone rang in Byer's house. And Joyce, recognised the breathing. It was of her son Will.
Meanwhile I had reached the place, which looked quite similar to the place where Mike and Gang found Eleven. But since it was a forest, everything did look the same, so I wasn't exactly sure. But then I used my heighted vision to see around. I found Mike and the others on their bike. They had their flashlights on, as they ventured in the forest. I didn't require a bike nor a flashlight.
That's when someone crashed on me, but before the figure could fall, I caught her. I could feel her eyes meeting mine, as she was frozen at a place. But before anything else could happen, three flashlights fell on both of us, which made both of us retract a little. But the girl with buzzed hair cut in my arms, was making sure to hide herself.
"Joey?", Mike was surprised when he saw me. And so were Dustin and Lucas. But what shocked them more was the fact that their brother and friend was with a girl, who was wearing a hospital gown.
