He’d just been about ready to settle into his couch, beer in one hand and pill bottle in the other, edge of his thumb already wedged beneath the lid, when he hears the sudden banging on the front door.  His shoulders stiffen instinctively, pills dropped unceremoniously into the folds of the couch as he reaches for his gun instead.  Jim’s sure as hell not expecting anyone in this weather –

(  could be those goons from the lab,  could be brenner,  could be the government,  could be,  could,  could be –  )

     “ What the … ? “  the actual voice that finally filters through is none of the above,  the tense edge to his jaw replaced by incredulity and split - second irritation.  “  Oh, for the love of …  “  he drops the gun,  gets up quick enough his knees protest with a salvo of deep cracks and crosses the space to his door in a couple of long strides before throwing it open ;  the look on his face nothing short of a glower.

     “ Mike? Have you gone completely insane?! “  he takes the boy by the shoulder and pulls him inside, out of the wind and the rain,  fingers immediately divesting the kid from his sodden coat.  “ I sure as hell hope your folk know you’re here, kid.  “

   ❝ Well, I wouldn’t say they necessarily know, but that doesn’t matter. What does matter is the fact that I’m here, and I’m here for a reason. An important reason. 

After unceremoniously stumbling into the chief’s home, he doesn’t even bother taking in his surroundings or registering the chill that the air conditioning causes against any of his wet, exposed skin, before his mouth is running a mile a minute and 

  ❝ You and Ms. Byers both went into the Upside Down, and you’re clearly the only people I can ask about it, considering the only other people who went in work there and there’s no way I can trust them, let alone ask them questions. Thing is, I didn’t want to go to Ms. Byers about it, because I knew she’d be less than willing to talk about it all things considered, and bringing it up around Will would be kind of shitty—-uh, excuse my language—-especially as his best friend, so… ❞

A deep breath, and he finally stops himself from word vomiting all over Hopper and the floor beneath their feet any further, instead opting to gesture to the space around him—-sure, it’s probably clear what he means regardless ( something like ‘so, here I am, in case you suddenly went blind and developed Alzheimer’s since the last time I saw you’ ), but that sort of thing has never stopped his exaggerated hand gestures and excessive monologuing at any other point. 

   ❝ I thought maybe you could help me find some way to break through to it, without going directly to the gate, since I doubt we’d be able to get to it—-going in the Upside Down isn’t really what I mean, anyway. I just—-I need a way to communicate with whatever might be on the other side, since my last link to it got taken away. ❞

And, is the very reason I want to do this in the first place.   

THOUGH NOTHING WILL KEEP US TOGETHER

A FRIEND is someone you'd do anything for. you lend them your cool stuff, like comic books and trading cards.

and, they never break a promise.
