We were about to kiss...- Will byers x oc season 2

Chapter 8- The gate.

"Hey. Um, I'm Max." Max holds her hand out to shake. "I've heard a lot about you."

Eleven looks at her then walks past her.

Eleven then walks up to Joyce and hugs her.

"Hey, hey sweetheart. Hey."

"Can i see him?" El asks.

-

"It's not like it was before. It's grown. A lot. And I mean, that's considering we can get in there. The place is crawling with those dogs."

"Demo-dogs."

"I'm sorry, what?"

"I said, uh, Demo-Dogs. Like demogorgon and dogs. You put them together, it sounds pretty badass..."

"How is this important right now?"

"It's not. I'm sorry." Dustin says.

"I can do it." Eleven states.

"You're not hearing me." Hopper says.

"I'm hearing you. I can do it."

"Even if El can, there's still another problem. If the brain dies, the body dies." Mike says.

"I thought that was the whole point." Max says.

"It is... but if we're really right about this... I mean, if El closes the gate and kills the mind flayers army..."

"Wills a part of that army." Steph says.

"Closing the gate will kill him."

Joyce enters Johnathans bedroom to see Will laying on the bed.

"He likes it cold."

"What?"

"It's what Will kept saying to me. He likes it cold." She goes to close the window.

"We keep giving it what it wants."

"If this is a virus, and Wills the host, then..."

"Then we need to make the host uninhabitable." Johnathan finishes Nancys sentence.

"So if he likes it cold..."

"We need to burn in out of him."

"We have to do it somewhere he doesn't know this time."

"Yeah, somewhere far away."

-

"You should go with him." Steve says.

"What?" Nancy questions.

"With Johnathan."

"No, I'm... I'm not just gonna leave Mike."

"No one's leaving anyone. I may be a pretty shitty boyfriend, but... turns out I'm actually a pretty damn good babysitter."

"Steve..."

"It's ok Nance... it's okay."

"I..."

Steve walks off leaving Nancy in the backyard.

-

"Just be careful, okay? I can't lose you again."

"You won't lose me."

"Do you promise?"

"Promise."

El steps closer going in to kiss Mike.

"El, come on let's go."

El turns back to him.

"Okay. It's okay." Mike says squeezing her hand.
