Chapitre 15: 15. Matchmakers (Will, El, Jonathan& Jopper)
A/N: Should I post the first chapter of my new story along with the next prompt? Or should I let you guys read next chapter in peace and make you writhe for a lil bit? This one is for 'Lilly' who wanted some matchmakers duo for a certain couple we all are rooting for. I added some Jonathan into the mix because I don't write the older teens as much as I should. Xo!
PROMPT: El and Will play matchmakers for Joyce and Hopper.
"Look at them!" Will gushed from their place behind the wall. He and El were stalking their respective parents, looking at them as they shared a cigarette outside the Byers' house, snuggled under a warm blanket.
"They're so cute." El sighed dreamily.
"Damnit, why don't they make a move already?" Will sighed annoyed. "It's like they're just waiting for us to match-make them."
"Hopper will kill you if he catches you spying." Jonathan told them from the table, chuckling at the two teens by the window.
"He won't." El responded without looking at him.
"Did he read the new letters yet?" Will asked the girl.
"Yes, but he only put his poker face on and went to the bathroom without a word." El rolled her eyes as she remembered their failed attempt at writing fake letters for their parents.
They had been trying to get Hopper and Joyce together for over two months now. After literally saving the world twice together and spending an awful load of time alone, apart from their past history in high school, the two adults had grown attached to one another. One would have to be stupid to ignore the attraction between them, and Will and El had gotten tired of waiting for them to make a move. So, naturally, they decided to make it for them.
They had tried everything in their books: they had locked them in together, sent them letters addressed to each other, delivered presents and chocolates at the store and station, dropped hints and they even went as far as to invent that one was continually asking about the other. None of that was proven effective, because Joyce and Hopper were still not dating!
"Honestly, I'm begging to think the Upside Down air got to their brain cells! How clueless can they be?!" Will exclaimed as El shuddered beside him. He threw an arm around her and rubbed her arm quickly, apologizing for the mention of the scary place.
"Maybe they just want to take it slow." Jonathan told the pair as he munched on a leftover Eggo from El's breakfast that morning.
"Slow?!" Will scoffed. "They have been dancing around each other for over a year now!"
"Look, look!" El slapped Will's shoulder rapidly. They pressed their noses to the window and watched as Hopper pressed a kiss to Joyce's head, before the woman stood up from the steps.
"Ugh," Will groaned. "They will never get together, and we will never be a fam—"
He cut himself off as Hopper tugged on Joyce's hand and she leaned down to kiss his lips with a laugh.
Both teens gasped and they quickly sat down on the couch that was placed under the window in shock.
"Did you see that?!" Will asked El in one breath.
"Oh my god, yes." El gasped with a smile.
"What?" Jonathan furrowed his eyebrows, walking towards them as both teens kneeled on the couch again and peered over to see Joyce and Hopper kissing softly.
"Huh," Jonathan breathed. "I guess your plans did work, after all."
Suddenly, Hopper stood up and kissed Joyce for the last time, throwing an arm around her shoulders and leading her to the house.
The trio gasped and quickly ducked from view, arranging themselves around to sit on the couch innocently as the door opened.
"What are you three up to?" Joyce asked them with a confused laugh as she entered the house and went to the kitchen.
"Nothing." They lied together.
Hopper gave them a suspicious look as he closed the door, walking towards them to throw the blanket on their laps. "Enjoyed the show?"
The three kids gaped at the man as he threw them a smirk and joined Joyce in the kitchen, sharing a laugh with her as he whispered something in her ear. The couple looked over at them with a grin, and the three teenagers laughed breathlessly as they realized the plan had actually been successful.
"I'm making hot chocolate, you guys want some?" Joyce asked them with a smirk as Hopper hugged her from behind.
"Yeah." Will nodded with a big smile on his face, as El and Jonathan stood up from the couch and walked towards their parents.
It seemed like he was finally getting his family.
