Steve feels every bone- every muscle in his body light on fire as the claw pierces Dustin in the stomach, coming out in one fell swoop and continuing on its path of destruction.

But it just hit Dustin.

Oh god. Jesus fuck Dustin is hit his little brother just got hit.

“No,” Steve rasps out as his world crumbles before his eyes. “No, no, no no no DUSTIN-“

Steve takes off faster than he ever has in his life, leaving the rest of the party in the dust as he desperately tries to make it towards his person. Nothing fucking matters anymore. Not the mission, not the kids, not Vecna. Only Dustin.

Because Steve can’t do this without him. You die I die. That’s the deal. And Steve is a man of his goddamn word.
