Summary
Dustin’s dad had left a long time ago.
His mom never mentioned it, keeping an upbeat attitude for her son, but he knew. No one else would let him forget. Once, he had asked about his dad. Instead of an answer, his mom just offered to help make cookies. So Dustin had just come to accept that he didn’t have a dad, and that would never change.
And then Steve Harrington happened to be at the Wheeler household at the right time, and it did.
***
Steve never had anyone to talk to.
His parents were barely ever home, and if they were, it seemed they went out of their way to avoid him. They were eager to let him do things on his own. He surrounded himself with people who gave him all the attention he wanted. Nancy Wheeler came along and he screwed himself over, isolating himself yet again. So he resigned himself to be alone, locking himself in a vault of self-pity.
And then Dustin Henderson had to ask him to help out with his terrifying demon pet and that was thrown out the window.Series

Summary
When the party decided to split up to get everything they needed for that week’s campaign, they didn’t expect anything bad to happen. They fought government labs and other-dimensional beings, so of course they’d be able to handle going to different areas of town on their own.
Once they’d tried it out, Dustin decided that they should never be left as individuals. It’s basic Dungeons and Dragons etiquette: you never split up the party. Ever. It always ends in disaster.Series
