Summary
"I'm going to ruin Thanksgiving."
"Naw," the man immediately says reassuringly. "Nah, c'mon, a sweet gal like you? It'll be fine. You're gonna be okay, I bet you couldn't ruin Thanksgiving if you tried-"
Chrissy pulls out her phone, and hands it over to the stranger in a cavalier act of trust that would probably have sent her fifteen year old self into a panic attack.
She doesn't need to look at the tab onscreen to remember what it says. She's already re-read the craigslist ad enough times to know it by heart.
'I am a 21 year old felon with no high school degree, and a dirty old van a year younger than me painted like Eddie Van Halen's guitar. I can look a few years older if necessary- depends on whether or not I shave. I've been a line cook at every restaurant you've ever been to in Indianapolis at least once, play lead guitar in a metal band, and work late nights at a bar. If you'd like to have me as your strictly platonic date for Thanksgiving, but have me pretend to be in a very long or serious relationship with you so you can torture your family, I'm in.'
The post-high school fake dating fic where Chrissy returns to Hawkins to burn some bridges.
