a/n: not many Will imagines so here's one for those Noah Schnapp lovers & Will Byers lovers as well!! & Star Wars comes out tomorrow so I'm super excited for that!!! enjoy :)

Out of all the things you loved the most, Will Byers was the main person you really ever fell in love with.

He was different, sweet, and never forced you into anything unlike your other friends.

You felt as though he respected you, even when you seemed to be going hella crazy about something stupid.

He was always there for you. Always.

"Hey, ___." Dustin approached you with a smile that warmed your heart every time.

"Hey, Dusty. AV Club meeting?" You asked him, putting away your geometry books and a few Christmas cards that needed to be delivered later this week.

He nodded, opening his locker that was right beside yours. "Yeah, you can always come, you know that, right?"

You nodded, taking out the book you were currently reading in English class. "Yeah, I know. I'm just not sure you guys want me to come because-"

"Why wouldn't we want you to come? You're one of our closest friends and you know what the hell is actually going on in Hawkins, anyways!"

You glanced at the pictures you had taped up inside of your locker that were of you and your friends together. Strings of small lights were also taped around the photos much like a frame that illuminated your smiling faces.

"Yeah, but," You paused. "I don't know. Do you have another meeting today?"

You shut your locker and turned towards Dustin who was currently holding four books in one arm and shutting his locker with the other.

"Yeah, actually. You should totally come to this one. I'm not sure what we're talking about but all I know is that Will said something about some strange creature he was hearing..." He trailed off, passerby's looking at him oddly.

You cleared your throat to gain his attention once more.

"Anyways, just come. We're meeting right after school."

The bell rang ahead of you as students rushed past to get to class early. You smiled at Dustin before walking off down the hallway, the thought of AV Club in your head.

—
At the last bell, you were gathered around the handy, dandy trap that Dustin had made for his Ghostbusters costume for Halloween.

"Okay, so, let's welcome ___ to her first official AV meeting and-"

"Dustin, just get the hell on with it." Mike said, smiling at you as Will sort of stared, lost in thought.

"Okay, well, I need to show you guys something, anyways." Dustin continued, Lucas giving him a look.

You stared at the box, waiting to see what was in it. Dustin slowly opened the box, allowing a slimy looking creature to pop out of it.

You jumped back a little in surprise when it squealed slightly. "What the hell is that thing?"

Dustin looked at you with a toothy grin. "My new discovery of a species. I already told them about this but you needed to get a proper introduction."

You smiled, looking down at the creature. "I'm somewhat confused, though."

"How?" Lucas asked.

"What the hell is it and how the hell did it get here? In Hawkins? It looks like it would be from the Upside Down or something."

There was a long moment of silence after that sentence. "Shit, is it?" You suddenly asked, trying to break the quiet.

Dustin shrugged as Will quickly stepped in.

"I think it is."

You turned to him. "Shouldn't we take it to Hopper or something then? It could kill one of us, or something else! I don't want anyone here to die!"

Dustin's face went red with embarrassment and his face twisted into fright.

"I-I'm not sure that's a good idea."

"Why not! The damn creature could easily kill us if it grows to the actual size of a Demogorgan! We should kill it before it grows!"

Lucas nodded. "I agree."

Mike also nodded, Will being undecided.

"How can you say that?"

"How can I say that? Dustin, you're holding a Demogorgan in your hands and you can't say that?"

You stared at him with hard eyes, disbelief coating them like sugar crystals, only these were saltier.

"You know what, I'm leaving. I don't want to die."

You grabbed your bag and began to walk out the door, Will chasing after you quickly. You were opening up the middle school doors to leave when Will grabbed your arm.

"Come on, ___. Dustin is just excited."

"Excited? Excited about a Demogorgan who could eat your entire body? Who could easily kill someone like us?"

You began to push your shoulder against the door again but Will gripped your arm tighter.

"Come on, ___. Please don't leave."

You looked at him for a seconds before answering.

"I already told you. I don't want to die."

With that, you pushed your way outside the school as the boys began to run after you. Will was in the front lead as Dustin came running with the Demogorgan in the box once more, contained.

"___!" They all repeatedly yelled.

You turned around eventually. "What the hell do you guys want!"

Will grabbed your hand, looking softly into your eyes. "___, please. Please help us. We just want to figure out what it is and we don't know for sure if it's a Demogorgan or not."

You sighed.

"Please?" He asked sweetly again.

You didn't make any move as you felt all the boy's eyes on you.

Will whispered. "At least do it for me."

You smiled, blushing as you looked towards the ground.

"Fine. But, I'm only doing this because of you, Byers."

He smiled sweetly, almost making you want to melt into his arms but held yourself back.

"Now let's see what the hell it is."
