1. Blue

She first sees him standing apart from the crowd, eyes desperately dancing back and forth between them as though searching for someone - anyone - to be with.

Nancy knows her brother and his friends, Jesus, she's been roped into more than one of their foolish antics over the past few years and it occurs to her that she's never seen Dustin look this dejected, or lost.

The realisation is all it takes for Nancy to make up her mind.

She marches right up to him, offering Dustin a smile instead of prompting more tears and, without a second thought, asks him to dance.

The giddy smile on his face as he realises that he won't spend the night alone, that only brightens when she assures him that soon the girls will be lining up for him, makes Nancy's decision worth it.

They're good kids, she thinks, driving home at the end of the evening, and they've done more than their share of saving the world. She can only hope that the world gives them a bit back.

My first attempt at a Stranger Things fic so I hope you like it! Do R&R and feel free to request any characters you'd like to see next!
