ever since the discovery that vecna use to be henry creel let alone a human. everybody was looking in the old creel house, everybody was split into teams while you and lucas went with each other.

you had your walkman repeating your kate bush cassette. because since vecna had cursed you, playing your favourite song was the only thing that kept you from being possessed, because music reaches a part of the brain words can’t.

you sighed your music stopped again, and quickly started rewinding it.

“wish we had a longer loop.”

lucas added casually as he made his way to stand next to you, you looked up at him and gave him a shrug.

”forty six minutes isn’t bad, but what if it’s suddenly not my favourite song anymore, will it still work or—“

before you even had the chance to worry or spiral about anything else, lucas cut you off.

“kate bush?? never.”

he joked, because who could get bored of kate bushes amazing music?

”your a fan of kate bush?”

you asked, genuine surprise on your face as he gave you a ‘obviously’ look. who wouldn’t be a fan of kate bush. she saved your life that one time in the graveyard when you were possessed!!

“uhh yeah!! she saved your life!! besides we’re hot on this creepy trail, we’re gonna find vecna.”

he responded, walking over to the dusty old grand piano. he looked over his shoulder at you and gave you a nod to come over.

“in fact i bet if we hit these suckers in the right combo— it might just open a door to a secret layer!!”

he added onto his words as you stood next to him, he pressed the deepest notes, then turned his head to face you a grin on his face.

“waaaa la!”

he said, his heart fluttering at the smile on your face. gosh, he hasn’t seen that smile in ages.

“your such a dork, i thought you were like— one of the cool kids now.”

you teased, the same wide smile on your face, he raised his eyebrow and placed a hand on his chest dramatically.

“im not cool??”

he asked, exaggerating his tone like you had extremely offended him for not believing his cool facade.

you laughed at his theatrics.

and oh my god, he could just die on the spot. your laugh? it was angelic. it was like a reward to hear. ever since you distanced yourself from him. and the group. it hasn’t been the same.

he knew you guys had broken up because you were grieving billy.

but he loved you. and wanted you back. and he did not try to hide that.

“ive really missed that.”

he randomly said, making you look up at him, the eye contact between the pair of you was like chemistry.

“missed what?”

you asked, the same lovely smile that brightened up lucas’s life still on your face.

he shrugged nonchalantly before clarifying what he missed.

“your laugh.”

he added sweetly, a charming grin on his face.
