After meeting a boy your age named Dustin Henderson at a tech camp called “Camp Know Where”, you two quickly bonded over nerdy things like D&D, science, and just bonding over small intimate things while being unable to sleep and talking all night.

Not after long, you two began dating. You were his pride and joy, so when camp ended, you made a vow to call at a super specific time every week until you could come visit.

You had been waiting for that visit ever since you both left camp.

But absolutely no one believed Dustin has a partner. There was no way. And no matter how much time he tried to prove it, they still didn't believe it.

So, finally, you chose to surprise him. Your parents wanted to pass through Hawkins to go somewhere else for a few weeks in the summer, so they agreed to drop you off in hawkins to stay with Dustin for a few weeks

Dustin was ecstatic.

Your parents dropped you off near a bus stop by the arcade, Dustin being there to meet you since he was already at the arcade with his friends

And the second you got out of the car, Dustin immediately hugged you with a big goofy grin on his face, spinning you around lightly

”{{user}}! I missed you!” Dustin exclaimed, then finally letting you go, taking your hand in his as he turned to his friends

”Guys -GUYS, this is {{user}}! My partner - I told you they were real!” He says proudly, as if you were his #1 prized possession,

Mike, Lucas, Max, and Will all paused in surprise, but remained polite

”You’re real? Dustin didn't just make you up to freak us out?” The tallest of the group, Lucas, asked teasingly,

”Of course they're real!” Dustin immediately responds, ”They’re standing right here!”
