Robin cracked the code. Finding an entrance of where they store everything. So that night, they spied, finding the evil Russians and their 'hideout.' It was freezing and raining Y/n was soaked along with the three others. Y/n's dress was wet, sticking to her body, and her shoes were uncomfortable, her hair was also soaked, dripping water and sticking to her face. Steve finally drove the poor freezing girl home.
"Okay, hi." He said nervously, he was ready to admit his feelings, it was now or never. She giggled and gave an 'hi.'
"Okay, Y/n. Um, do you know what a couple is?.. or well, a boyfriend or a girlfriend?" Steve asked her. "Yeah, like Eleven and Mike or Nancy and Jonathan. Nancy told me that it was someone you really cared about and you to express affection for someone you really like." She tried to explain everything she remembered from when Nancy told her.
"Yeah, you could put it like that. A couple are to people who share these feelings with each other." Steve explained more. "My point is, would you like to be my girlfriend? I can be your boyfriend and we can go on movie dates and we can cuddle and in your words, express affection." Steve said.
"I want to be your girlfriend, but..." She sighed, stoping her sentence. "Yes, Y/n?" Steve asked. "I don't know how to love, I'm sorry." She said quietly, looking down and shrugged.
"It's okay Y/n, I can teach you." Steve responded, softly. He held her small hand, Y/n watched and smiled. "Okay, yeah." She looked up at Steve, he smiled.
"Okay, so what do you want to do?" Steve asked her, she yawned. "I'm tired." She simply stated. "Do you want to your house and we can lay down, I have an old night bag in my trunk." He said, looking at her. "Yeah, I want to sleep." She smiled, tiredly.

"Okay, your house it is." He said. The two made their way to the Byers home, nobody seemed to be home. Will spent the night at Mike's, Joyce was at the Hoppers home, taking care of him. Nancy and Jonathan were still helping with Mrs. Driscoll.
The two changed out of their wet clothes and into pajamas, Y/n went to the kitchen to get some water. She stood there in the dark, the water glass in her hand and dark moonlight illuminated her facial features. She stared outside into the rain, wondering where her adopted family was. Y/n felt weird, not knowing why nobody was home. Steve went out of the bathroom, seeing her mood swing.
"Hey, what's wrong?" He asked, coming closer and rubbing her back. "Nobody's home." She quietly responded. "It's okay, they will probably come back later." He responded, hugging her from behind as she stared into the rain. "I don't know but they are always home. It feels weird." She explained, setting the glass down.
"It's okay Y/n, you might just be a little paranoid. Come on, let's go to bed." Steve said, grabbing her hand and leading her to her bedroom and so the two went to bed. She worried, but soon fell asleep in Steve arms.

Child of the Ancients: An Apocalypse LitRPG
It all started in the middle of Dante's nap. He wanted to sleep his life away, but the system denied his request. Instead, it began to transform the Earth, integrating it into the multiverse by granting everyone stats and skills. He was talented, or so the system thought. And that meant he needed to be challenged. After being sent into a deadly cavern, Dante strives for the future he's always desired. But when he learns about the secrets hidden within him, he's shaken to his very core. He wishes for the nightmare to end until something goes wrong. [The world will end in one year.] Instead of everyone receiving a relatively gentle tutorial, the people of Earth are deemed redundant. Dante makes it his goal to save as many people as he can before the world ends, but with billions of lives at stake, he might have to turn into a monster before he can become a hero. Planned updates (2500+ words): M/W/F. 12pm AEST/ 9am EST. M-F during Writeathon. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Author's Note: All system apocalypse novels seem to jump straight over the apocalypse itself, which I find very sad. I don't want this to turn into a typical fantasy novel in about ten chapters. Instead, I hope to explore the destruction of society and how things would look if superpowers suddenly appeared in the real world. Before the real apocalypse happens, of course. There will be base building, and likely romance once things settle down. Also dragons, because they are awesome :)
