90- Your Blessings

Summary: Hopper wants to ask Johnathan and Will something.

Requested by: Excalibur22

"Do you have any idea why he asked us here?"

Johnathan groaned as he jumped over a stray log. "Will, I have told you a thousand times. I have no clue why Hop asked to see us. And if we move faster, we can get there to find out. So, pick up your feet."

Will rolled his eyes but picked up his pace.

The two brothers were walking through the woods, heading towards the cabin. Hopper had called earlier and asked them to come to the cabin.

As he walked, Will went through his ideas of why the man would want to see his brother and him.

Nothing to do with El, she had a date with Mike.

Unless, he wanted them to spy on the couple. But no way.

Right?

I mean, Hopper had a past of being strict with Mike and El dating but he wouldn't go to that extreme.

Oh, boy.

He would go to that extreme.

Just as Will was about to tell Johnathan that they should turn around, they reached the small cabin.

Hopping over the trip wire, Johnathan and Will knocked the secret knock.

Hopper opened the door, and they notice a nervous flash on his face.

"Come on in." Hopper opened the door to let Will and Johnathan.

Will and Johnathan kick off their shoes, heading to the couch.

"Do you guys want anything to eat or drink?"

The brothers look at each other in surprise. It wasn't like Hopper to be one who was kind to his guests.

"Uh, I'm good." Will told him, even though he was having a weird craving for vanilla ice cream. Johnathan nodded in agreement.

"Okay," Hopper sits in the armchair in front of them. "So, there's something I want to talk to you about."

"Are you going to ask us to spy on El and Mike?" Will blurts out.

Johnathan shoots Will a 'what the heck are you talking about?' look.

"What? No! Why would you even-"

"You were saying?" Johnathan steered the conversation back on track.

Hopper took a deep breath and looked at the two boys.

"So, you know that me and your mom have been... seeing each other, for a while now." Hopper started.

Johnathan raises his eyebrows, while Will gives him the common 'duh' look most teenagers have.

"And I know how important you two are to her." Hopper continued. "That's why I wanted to ask you for your blessings."

"Blessings? You're going to-" Johnathan began.

"Ask you're mother to marry me? Yeah." Hopper tells them. "So, I wanted your blessings to do so."

It was quiet for a few moments. Hopper started to feel more nervous than before. What were they going to say?

Will spoke first. "Took you long enough. Do you have vanilla ice cream? I've been wanting some all day long."

Hopper nodded slowly, surprised at what the boy said, and Will went into the kitchen to scoop ice cream.

Meanwhile, Johnathan still sat in front of the chief.

"You won't hurt her?" he asked in a low voice.

"No. I promise." Hopper tells him.

Johnathan nodded. "Alright, then. You have my blessing. And Will's obviously."

Hopper chuckled. "Yeah, obviously."

"You have cookie dough?! Sweet! Do you guys want any?" Will called from the kitchen.

Johnathan grinned. "Who couldn't take up that offer?"

Hopper smirked and the two walked into the kitchen, where Will was scooping ice cream for all of them.

And they celebrated becoming a family.
