No thoughts but El dressing up as Billy because he's her hero- (it was supposed to be shorter but you know how it is)
TW: scars, descriptions of anxiety, insecurities, depression (it's fluff overall though)
"Well, I'm no nerd, but that sure as hell doesn't look like Wonder Woman, kid," Billy observes, the corners of his mouth quirking up into an amused yet fond sort of smile. He hadn't really smiled in ages, and he didn't think he could ever get used to it. It felt strange. The good kind, though.
El snorts a laugh, and his smile widens. She's an odd girl. Quiet, too. But she's the only one who doesn't treat him like he's a freak. She doesn't baby him, either. "Guess."
"Mmmm..." He taps his chin in thought, humoring her. "Bonnie Tyler?"
She shakes her head, the curly blonde wig hanging onto her buzzed head for dear life.
"Joan Jett?"
"Joan Jett has black hair!"
He looks at her costume again; a dangling earring, light pink lip gloss, denim jeans, and a stained wife beater hanging off her frame.
"You've lost me, kid."
El frowns, giving him a look that she gives Mike when he's around Will. The "I'm tired of your shit" look. It's eerily similar to Joyce's momma bear face.
A loud honk, followed by Hopper's empty threats of getting his gun, makes them both jump; Steve, Argyle, and Jonathan must be here to pick the kids up.
"You're gonna be late for trick or treating with Steve. Don't wanna make him wait, do ya?" he says, forcing a smile. He'd be lying if he said he didn't want to join them. However, there was no place for a scarred shell of who he used to be. Not that he missed the anger and the bruises (at least they faded away in time), but he wasn't like Steve or Dustin or even Robin.
He could be taken out of the equation, and... no one would care. He looks away, avoiding El's piercing stare.
She holds out her hand, and lightly tugs the tip of his fingers. "I'm you."
A startled laugh emits from him, and he shakes his head. He ought to clean his ears when she leaves.
"I'm dressed as the man who saved my life. My hero," El says, and those words combined with her voice, full of stubborn love, give a new reason to the growing lump in his throat. "Robin even added your scars on the shirt, see?"
He does, in fact, see. The scars don't look anything like the ugly jagged ones on his skin. They look... almost like decorations.
El gives him a knowing smile, not letting go off his hand. "Steve came up with the description. He said that they reminded him of flowers. The mark of a survivor. A hero."
There's that word again. Billy's eyes glaze with tears and he grabs his leather jacket, heading for the door, dragging El along.
She sends him a confused look.
Cheeks damp and stretched wider than ever, he takes out two cigarettes and passes one to her. "Now we match."
El puts her cigarette into her mouth, at the same time he does. "Bitchin'," she says gleefully.
He straightens her wig, and fluffs it up a bit before grabbing his keys. "Now, let's get going before all the good candy's gone, and all that's left is fruit snacks."

Imagine…. Season 5…..
Joyce and Hopper sitting at their kitchen table…. Hopper is smirking at Joyce with a twinkle in his eye…
‘What?’ She says.
‘Just thinkin’ about Russia.’
Joyce’s face scrunches up - why would he look so smug about a place that was a living hell for him.
‘Well, about that little hotel.’ Hop clarifies with a hint of a smile.
Joyce nods, finally understanding. ‘Well… really…. I was thinking about that tiny shower….’
Joyce flushes red and Jim’s smile is now full blown and beautiful.
‘Best damn shower of my life.’ He says - eyes fixed on Joyce’s. Her blush is prominent but she leans over and kisses his lips softly. ‘Y’know…. We have a shower too…. a nice, big shower.’
*then we get a full blown flashback from Russia’s missing hours/days*

I'm sorry I was screaming cheering crying and vomiting when jopper kissed
truly I ascended
never been happier
giggles and twirled my hair
and was left heart broken when they didn't get to hanky panky
I haven't felt that rush since season 2 jancy (murray)
now that was life changing I say
it made me feel things ill never feel again
