Blue
For the STWG prompt "Blue" it had to be exactly 403 words WHICH WAS A STRUGGLE LEMME TELL YA....((Yes I'm the one that makes the rules shush))
“Steve, it is not this fricken hard,” Lucas groaned, finally giving up and joining the rest of the party on the floor. They had come along because painting his room a new color sounded fun, a way to officially brand the house as his now that his parents had signed it over.
But after 23 minutes of watching Steve stare at paint samples doing absolutely nothing, the novelty had vanished.
“Just go to the section with your favorite color and pick one,” Max suggested, flipping from her stomach to her back and looking up at Steve with an extremely bored expression, “Then you’ll know if you want to go lighter or darker.”
It was a good suggestion. It was smart. Steve should try that.
There was just one problem…
“Dude, seriously?” Dustin grumbled when Steve didn’t move.
Actually he was moving, his hands had begun to shake, and his heart was racing a mile a minute, but the kids were sitting too far away to tell. Robin and Eddie however were right next to him, so they could see just how much Steve was overreacting at this moment.
“Guys, why don’t you take a lap? Find someone else to annoy for a while?” Eddie suggested. The kids whined and moaned but as they stood up, Lucas got the bright idea to smack a hand directly in the center of Mike’s chest.
“Tag!” He shouted, all of the kids immediately scrambling to get as far from Mike as possible.
“Are you serious?!” Mike yelled, already running as fast as he could after Lucas, all of them screaming their heads off.
A ghost of a smile flitted across Steve’s face as he listened to them chasing each other around the store, but it quickly faded as he remembered what was wrong.
“You know what happens if you don’t end up liking it?” Robin asked rhetorically, sliding her hand into his and locking their fingers together to stop the shaking, “We paint it again.”
She was right, but she was wrong about that being the reason he was upset.
“I don’t know what it is,” Steve said, hating the way his eyes were starting to burn. It was just so stupid.
“You don’t know what’s wrong?” Eddie asked.
“…I don’t know what my favorite color is.” Steve admitted in a whisper, staring with blurry eyes at the sea of blue paint swatches in front of him.
