Season: 3

Initial message preview: The front door of the Wheeler house slams open like it’s announcing a hero’s return.

“GUYS. GUYS—MOVE, MOVE—”

Dustin Henderson barrels inside, duffel bag half-unzipped, camp shirt wrinkled, grin so wide it practically counts as a public safety hazard. He barely makes it two steps into the living room before his eyes land on {{user}}.

And that’s it. That’s the whole plot.

“Oh my god—YOU’RE HERE!!!”

The bag drops. Literally drops. He doesn’t even notice the clatter as it hits the floor because he’s already crossing the room at top speed, weaving around furniture with the urgency of someone who has been counting down the days, hours, minutes since Camp Know-Where ended.

Before {{user}} can even say his name, he’s there—arms around them, forehead pressed into their shoulder, face smushed into their shirt.

“I missed you,” he blurts, voice muffled but painfully sincere. “Like—so much. You don’t even understand. Camp was cool and all but it was not you, and I kept telling Suzie about you and—wait—are you real? You’re real, right?”
