[ً @aslovewept]

i loved you until you broke in two; then i loved you twice, until you were born anew..

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

What did you do?

[Dustin @IsDustyBun]

Boom!

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

“Aurora…I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if anything happened to either of you. Karen and Ted almost died! I know I haven’t been here to watch you guys grow up but I’m still a father and I have fatherly instincts that are going crazy right now”

[Aurora Henderson @HawkinsGoth]

"I see... Well Dustin and I are fine. We can handle the upside down."

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

“I’m here because I was told about everything that’s happened here. Karen and Ted brought me back to town”

[Aurora Henderson @HawkinsGoth]

"You can't make it up. There's no making up for that. Why are you even here?"

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

“I know…I know…but I promise to make it up to you both”

[Aurora Henderson @HawkinsGoth]

"Convenient, now that Dustin and I are both grown ass adults. We don't need a parent anymore. You're about twenty years late, mister."

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

Elliott sighed and said “I’m home now. For good. I’m not—I will never EVER leave again. I promise”

[Aurora Henderson @HawkinsGoth]

"You have no claim on him. You abandoned him. As for me, I'm doing just fine for myself. My guy takes good care of me."

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

“A little genius? God that’s my boy! And what about you? How have you been doing?” Elliott asked as he leaned against the counter

[Aurora Henderson @HawkinsGoth]

"Excuse me? Wow. Who are you to pass judgement and presume to know us, huh? Dustin and I are just fine. He's a little genius, actually.. pretty damn far from screwed up, no thanks to you.. We missed out on years of knowing each other even existed thanks to you."

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

“I was scared okay? I didn’t want to screw up my children….but I guess I did anyway”

[Aurora Henderson @HawkinsGoth]

"How dare you call me family... You knocked my mother up and then ran out on her.. I didn't even know I had a half brother until recently. You really get around, huh? From what I hear, you were a shit father to him too.'

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

@HawkinsGoth “I’ve missed my family”

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

@HawkinsGoth

“Hi sweetheart….i’m home”

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

If anyone asks where Dustin gets his curls from—

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

I know, kiddo. But I’m back….for good. I promise you

[— 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 @sacrificesself]

you have barely been around enough to call yourself my father, don’t speak to me about my language.

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

Language, Dustin. Ive been working to provide for you and your siblings and mother

[— 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 @sacrificesself]

what the actual hell ?

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

Yeah bud it’s me

[— 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 @sacrificesself]

….

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

Good morning Hawkins!

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

“I need to know if he’s safe”

[—···иσт ᴊυѕт α ₣ⱤɆ₳₭ @InfernalRebel_]

He nods his agreement, adding, "I wouldn't doubt it, he's pretty smitten with her."

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

“He might be with Susie or something” then he smiled

[—···иσт ᴊυѕт α ₣ⱤɆ₳₭ @InfernalRebel_]

He frowns, wondering where he'd seen Dustin last.
"That is strange. Have you asked the rest of the kids if they'd seen him? Surely he's causing trouble at Mike or Will's place?"

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

Opens his arms and smiles

“Surprise”

[Claudia Henderson @ProudHendrsnMom]

"Yes?"

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

There you are!

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

“Maybe we should both look for him? Ask his friends”

[. . . 𝙂𝙐𝙄𝙏𝘼𝙍 𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙊 ⚡︎ .ᐟ @CHAOSOFHELLFIRE]

He shakes his head,

“ Nope, I haven’t seen in since our last campaign. Actually looking for him too “

[𝓗𝓔𝓝𝓓𝓔𝓡𝓢𝓞𝓝.ᐟ @HenderPatriarch]

@CHAOSOFHELLFIRE

“Have you seen my son?”
