    Summary

    “You’re part of a pirate crew now. There are people who are out to get you, I’m sure, but I’m not one of them,” he says plainly, taking a gulp of lukewarm beer and hoping it helps him maintain a straight face. “And if they ever come our way, I’ll just kill ‘em.”

    He swears he sees a flash of surprise on his face, but then Sanji’s back to sneering. “I can fight my own battles.”

    You don’t have to, is what Zoro wants to say. I don’t want you to cry, ever. It hurts and I don’t know why.

    “Whatever,” is what he says instead.

    sanji's secrets are like his cigarettes—never-ending, conspicuous, and lingering long after they end. in moments of weakness, zoro tries to snuff them out.

    Summary

    They both wore their bands on their chains—Robby’s with his Magen David and Jack’s with his dog tags. It made Dennis squirm, a little, to watch their interactions. He had a peek into their lives no one else seemed to have.

    Christmas was approaching in the Pitt and Dennis already knew he wouldn't be celebrating. He dealt with enough at work given his inappropriate work crushes, familial guilt, and general want for the season to be over. Trinity refused to let him skip and so Dennis is pulled into the Secret Santa. Only problem? Dennis pulled half of the married couple who won't stop touching him.

    Summary

    “Wait,” Will said in a harsh, croaky voice. He felt like his brain was dribbling out of his ears and he fell onto the couch with a small poof of air as he stared at Mike in such a hard daze that it was a wonder he didn’t pass out again. “I - what do you - “

    They stared at each other.

    The air was thick and suddenly it was like Will could taste ozone at the back of his tongue, like electricity was coating his mouth and didn’t leave any room to breathe, to think, and his voice was wobbly, uncertain, as he said, “what do you mean… other boys?”

    ***

    Will tells everybody about his Tammy.

    Mike, of course, reacts in a totally normal way.

    Summary

    Steve huffs begrudgingly. He doesn’t really want to spend his Tuesday and Thursday nights watching some random kid, but arguing with his mom when she’s already made up her mind is like trying to stop a freight train with brute force. “Okay. I’ll do it.”

    Tuesday comes far, far too fast.
     
    Steve pulls up to the Byers’ house just after five, the late September sun transforming almost everything in Hawkins into shades of orange. The house is strikingly small, set back from the road with a cluttered yard and a worse for wear front porch. It certainly isn’t the place Steve usually finds himself, and he feels weirdly conspicuous as he gets out of his mom’s car. He realizes, he’s never really seen the shitty part of Hawkins too much. A small surge of rare gratefulness rushes through him.

     

    Or, when Steve takes on the job of babysitting a young Will Byers, his life changes in some various unpleasant ways.

    Summary

    Hayden looks up and catches sight of Shane, thumbs hooked in his belt loops to leave the logo on his chest clear. “No. Shane. No. Get out.”
    “You like it?”
    “Please, please tell me that’s not—”
    Shane spins to show off the back. “Authentic.”
    “No,” Hayden says, drawing out the word plaintively. “In my house?

    Shane wears Ilya's jersey to watch the game at Hayden's.
