You were sat in the back seat of the yellow convertible as Hopper and Joyce argued in the front seat, eyes scanning over the Illinois map that had been bought back at the gas station. Alexei was sat next to you, cuffed hands holding onto the large Slurpee he had gotten back at the 7/11. A few moments later the man said something in Russian, gently elbowing you to get your attention. You looked over at him in confusion, frowning a bit.
"I.." You sighed, folding the map up carefully and wedged it under your leg so it didn't fly away.
Alexei repeated what he said again, eyebrows furrowing.
You blinked, staring at the man blankly. "I don't... Nyet? Nyet, no." You shook your head, your expression apologetic.
Alexei shook his head before pointing at a bracelet you wore. It was something El had made for you, a thank you for helping catch her up on learning so she'd be able to attend school some day soon under her new alias.
The man grinned to himself, speaking again before laughing quietly. He shook his wrists before looking between your bracelet and his handcuffs. "Yours looks better than mine."
A smile tugged at your mouth when you realized he was trying to make a joke before you snorted a laugh, leaning back in your seat.
"You get?" Alexei's accent was thick and you looked over at him in surprise at the sudden broken English.
"Uh, no.." You shook your head before glancing at Hopper and Joyce. "But once we get there you can... tell me?" You grimaced a bit as Alexei stared at you in confusion before it turned into one of defeat.
"Will you two shut up?" Hopper snapped, glaring at you in the rearview mirror. "He's the enemy here, Y/N!"
"He's just a guy, Hopper!" You snapped back, returning his harsh stare. "Do you really think he wanted to be some evil scientist?"
Hopper opened his mouth to respond before Joyce gave him a warning stare, his mouth snapping shut with a grumble. The car ride was quiet for a while before you turned to Alexei, trying to think of what the two of you could do to keep busy.
"..Patty cake?" You looked at him questioningly, and Alexei frowned.
"Patty...cake?" His accent was thick as echoed your words, turning towards you in his seat.
You held up your hands to him, starting to make the motions in the air of the ageless game. The man gasped in realization and grinned, fully turning towards you so the two of you could play.
"Are you fucking serious?" Hopper turned his head around to glare at the two of you before quickly whipping around back to put his eyes back on the road.
"You're just mad that he's also a person." Joyce spoke up, turning around in her seat to watch the two of you. "Please! Play!" She motioned her hands, smiling at the two of you.
The two of you hesitantly started to play, Alexei trying the best he could considering the handcuffs.
"Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man-"
Alexei was singing the tune in Russian, wide smile across his face.
"It's pat-a-cake." Hopper interrupted the two of you, glancing back again.
"Pat-a-cake?" You and Joyce looked up, and you arched your eyebrows.
"Pat-a-cake pat-a-cake.." You mumbled to yourself, doing the hand motions. "Oh."
Hopper smirked, leaning back in his seat as he looked at the road ahead. Joyce scoffed and turned back around, staring out the passenger side of the car.
You and Alexei shared a glance before you turned towards him, the two of you quietly going back to your game.
