The kids cannot figure out which of them is Steve’s favorite.
At first, they think it’s Dustin. Dustin was the first one after all. And it’s true that Dustin and Steve have a secret handshake, and when Steve counts the Party off by number, Dustin is always number one, but they all have special little things.
Steve drives Max to PT three times a week, and she stays at his house from Thursday to Sunday so her mom can get a bit of a break and work on herself. He plays basketball with Lucas whenever he asks, and is always finding tiny ways to include him in every conversation. Will gets new art supplies pretty much any time Steve sees him. El was the first one that Steve called his sibling, casually slipping the words little sister in one day when he asked her if she wanted to get a waffle at the diner. Erica will always have their ice cream days
Even Mike, who was sure he was the only one who was out of the running, sometimes feels like he might be the favorite. When the world starts to close in on him, and he can’t make anything feel safe, he can call Steve. Steve always comes right away, and they drive around Hawkins for hours and hours. Steve doesn’t talk, but Mike does. And whatever he says never leaves the car.
The secret is Steve doesn’t have a favorite. He loves them all in different and important ways. He might feel closer to one or the other on some days, but they each have the same size piece of his heart.

baddddddd. he's giving pomme first pick of their dungeon loot rn. he's so NICE. not just to the eggs but in general (i am always thinking of those elegant letters). but the eggs are the only ones who he will quickly and easily show vulnerability to. with everyone else it's like there's a layer there, a wall of silliness he keeps up on purpose, but it just. isn't there with the eggs.
there's something about the way that he cares that I can't put into words. like he cares so much. so fucking intensely. look at dapper. look how kitted out that egg is. look at how much time bbh has spent with the eggs, and look at how much time and effort he puts into figuring out how to keep them safe. he goes HAM when it comes to caring for the eggs, but it comes so naturally to him. it feels like caring for people with his whole entire soul is his default, but he doesn't want it to be. or, maybe want play a part in it- maybe it's too dangerous to care so much so quickly. maybe that puts other people he loves at risk. maybe it scares people. but that wall between him and other people is one that he built, and it's bbh, so he built it strong, so even when he's surrounded by people who have proven over and over that they care for him (that they care for the eggs, that they will not hurt them), he can't fully believe it.
im just. bad knows foolish so well. he knows that man wouldnt on purpose kill any eggs. but pomme killed foolish and bbh, dying of laughter, having the time of his life, told her to "put your armour on. just in case."

[ mistletoe ] sender and receiver standing under a mistletoe together
@cultfed / ANSWERED .
DELICIOUS , to bask in the reward of a view so priceless , flush blooming with such colorful intensity - crawling quickly across the other’s face to paint even the tips of his ears with warmth . his expressiveness in vulnerable moments urged on his hunger to see more , earn more , he yearned & starved for everything the other gifts to him unwittingly . insatiable . in his hands , he turns over the plant & reaches to settle it on the doorframe above suguru’s head . a mistletoe he'd snatched up from a cafe table they'd gotten coffee at earlier .
❛ i could have warned you i guess , but you should see how you look right now . ❜
silver tongued & mischievous by nature , the teasing couldn’t be helped - accompanied by a near permanent smile that softened now when adoration threatened to burst from him , when he could rip from the seams & flow away in the waves of his own fervor . admittedly he is bitter to acknowledge verbalizing his gratitude remained a talent that continued to elude him , but things would continue to be as they are & so he would adapt , learn to compromise . twist himself into something readable .
they’d done this for years , danced around each other & held fast in their agreement in meeting halfway .
fingertips touch to his cheek , trace hymns against rose touched skin as though to assure suguru is the only religion he’d ever care to learn & fold to cusp his face , keep him at a distance for a moment . only a moment , would a striking gaze burn his features into memory before he DIPS ,
& soft breath tickles geto’s cheek , lips hastily flutter kisses across the bridge of his nose , the arch of his brow , his temple where he breathes him in like he is someone famished & catches hints of shampoo - worships
but true to himself he is impatient , possessive & he finds his hands tangled in the other’s hair , his body form fit against him to tip him back so he can kiss him properly , taste heaven in the only way he knows how - devour any sweet noises between them .
when he straightens , he licks remnants from his own lips & savors it , grinning widely - standing with the confidence of someone utterly shameless .
❛ or how you look now , as a matter of fact . ❜

*waves* Hello Doctor. I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Jessi and I just... I really need to know... what is your favorite country song? In know you love music so much and country gets such a bad rap, but everyone has a favorite country and western song. Anyway, and I wanted to say I think you’re incredible and I hope we can be friends.
W...Whatever it takes...Kenny Chesney...
Thanks....you seem to be a nice person.
