could u please do reader getting vecnad and in her vision eddie is saying rlly hurtful things but in the real world eddie is trying to wake her up and ends up saving her and finding her fav song
maybe ending with reader holding onto eddie cuz they were rlly scared
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you have never been so stressed in your entire life. with eddie being hunted down for murder, creel house, the horrifying murders—it was just too much
but you pushed that away, you had no time to freak out and actually process this. you had a job, save hawkins, but more importantly, save eddie
you eddie barely got to be together. well, not really. that night, you two said your first i love yous, you hung out for a bit before he told he had a deal with chrissy
eddie told you all about his deals, even though some of people there wouldn’t want anyone to know, eddie trusted you and told you everything
you on the other hand, well— you told him everything too…but some things in your past just weren’t exactly comfortable for you to mention
he didn’t know everything, but he did know it was hard, and was patient with you. because he loved you and you cherished that, the way he gave you time, the way he never made you feel less
never have you ever thought you’d be in this situation now.
you were on the boat with steve, eddie, nancy, and robin. the three were oddly quiet, you looked to eddie to see him looking down at his lap
“hey” you said and he looked to you, “we’re in this together, we’re gonna fix this. and you’re gonna be able to come back home. i love you eds” you smiled and went to grab his hand but he backed away and chuckled
“do you really think i’d want to touch you?” he said, and you furrowed your eyebrows, “who told you i want to come back home? i’m already home.”
“wh—what?”
“let me correct myself, anywhere is home when it’s far away from you.” he said and you could feel your heart ache, why would eddie say this? “don’t think i don’t know about your past, y/n. i know everything, i just wanted to wait and see if you’re gonna say it. but no, you didn’t. because you didn’t want me to think you’re absolutely disgusting. and a horrible person”
you looked to see the three gone, you looked back to him, “e—eddie-“
“cant say you’re not wrong though. because i truly think just how pathetic you are. you hold on to the past and act like you’re the victim. but it’s your fault. everything is your fault. i would never love someone like you. more so touch you. i might be a freak but i wouldn’t go that far” he said and you could feel your tears streaming down your cheeks.
“why—why are you saying this—you don’t…you don’t mean it—“
“trust me. i mean everything. every single word. about time you find out the truth.”
unbeknownst to you, the four were still here, and they were freaking out. eddie could feel his heart pounding out of his chest, your eyes were rolled back and flickering, just like the others
“y/n, please listen to me! please! please wake up i can’t do this without you please—“ eddie cried out, he never felt this scared in his entire life, even after chrissy. nothing could compare to the thought of losing you
“max!” steve yelled as he finally reached the shore again, max ran to him and gave him the walkman, eddie had your tape on his pocket at all times, he wanted to put it in the van so you could always play it, but he never got the chance
he put the tape in, his hands shaking uncontrollably as he put the headphones on your ears and played the song
the song suddenly started playing while eddie was glaring at you
“i know you’re hurt” eddie said, “your suffering will end soon” he got closer to you
“no!” you screamed and hit him with the oar, to your surprise, there wasn’t any water surrounding the boat, so could easily run away
you knew this wasn’t eddie. it couldn’t be. eddie would never say this, which only meant. vecna got you
“eddie!” you screamed out, your voice shaking and tears sliding down your cheeks, “eddie! robin! please! anyone—“ you said, unable to normally breathe anymore, you gasped when you saw a man you were sure was vecna just walking towards you
you kept running, the music filling your ears, just as you finally focused on the music, you could hear it. it was the song eddie played for you all the time. he even practiced how to play it on his guitar just for you
vecna got you, and you were on the verge of death. but no, you couldn’t leave just yet. memories of how you and eddie would scream this song in the van crossed your mind
how eddie got you your own hellfire shirt, how he made you feel a way nobody could. how he wa a patient with you, never pushed, never made you feel the way you used to.
suddenly, a hole opened, and you could see yourself floating, and everyone crowding around you. but most specifically, eddie. he was on his knees, you couldn’t hear him, but you could see him sobbing. he never looked so in pain
the strength suddenly got to you, and you managed to escape from vecna’s grip. you ran to the hole, trying your best to avoid the things that vecna was sending to stop you
just as you thought you were gonna fail. and eddie was gonna lose you. you woke up, falling right into eddie’s arms
you could see the look of relief on his face, and how he hid his face in your hair, trying to get as close to you as possible
“i thought i was gonna lose you” he cried out
“i’m here” you breathed out, “i’m here” you said, holding onto him as everyone wrapped themselves around you to hug you as well, you were special to them too.
eddie never felt such pain in his life. but the relief he felt when he saw your eyes go back to normal was something he couldn’t explain.
it didn’t matter anymore. because you were back and eddie was going to protect you with his life if he had to.

heyyyy!!!! pleaseee could u write more cg!robin and cg!nancy with their little!reader??? maybe like it’s reader’s bedtime but she doesn’t want to go to bed so she begs to stay up, and robin and nancy both agree cuz they know she’ll fall asleep in between them anyway!! and ofc she does so they carry her to bed and tuck her in, all whilst she’s sound asleep <33
No?
Content - age regression, mommy!nancy, mommy!robin, television, soft toys, dummy use, cuddles, sleeping, don't like don't read.
Summary - you hate having to go to bed before your caregiver so one night they let you stay up with them.
Authors note - I might come back later and edit this a bit because I was on the verge of slipping and I might have gotten some things wrong. I loved this request, hope you enjoy <3
Tumblr media
You loved sleeping.
But you hated going to sleep.
It just felt tedious laying there waiting for something to happen and not being able to turn your brain off.
You were currently laying on the floor listening to the television program that your caregivers watched of a night time. You enjoyed the show because the woman on it had a very nice smile and the man had silly hair. But the only thing you dreaded about it was by the time it finished it alerted nancy and robin that it was your bedtime.
When it ended you would wait for a few seconds holding your breath hoping that they wouldn't realise the time and let the next show play.
But they always did.
Nancy was always very meticulous with your night time routine whereas robin was more relaxed about it.
It really wasn't fair you couldn't stay up longer but you respected your mommy's choices you knew they only did it for your own good because you didn't like being tired and grumpy.
Hearing the tinny sounding outro you realised that the show had ended, all that was left to do was hold onto your toy rabbit and wait.
Hearing a put on yawn from robin you knew they wouldn't have forgotten they never did. "Mmm I'm so sleepy" exclaimed nancy repeating the same action "what about you baby? Are you sleepy" she asked leaning forward to hold your hand.
"No" you said rolling over to face the with your pink rabbit in your arms "no?" They questioned you giving each other curious but knowing looks "no, wanna stay up with you" you whined with a small pout on your lips.
The 3 of you remained silent for a few moments nancy giving robin a look as if to say "don't you dare, we have a schedule"
She completely ignored it.
"Well I suppose you can stay up for a little bit longer sweetheart, what do you think Nance?" She said cheekily eyeing nancy, robin loved winding her girlfriend up. " I don't know honey we don't want to mess up your sleep schedule do we?" She said gently stroking your hair "please!" You exclaimed giving her puppy dog eyes.
Here's the thing about nancy, she was powerless against puppy dog eyes.
"Oh alright baby" she chuckled leaning down to pick you up. Seating you between her and robin with your head against the back of the sofa robin placed a kiss on your temple and you heard the opening music for the next program begin.
───── ⋆⋅◇⋅⋆ ─────
Halfway through the episode robin looked down to check on you and saw that you were fighting to stay awake. Smiling out of the side of her mouth she looked back at the television noticing how you were now clinging to her left arm.
───── ⋆⋅◇⋅⋆ ─────
As the music began to fade from the television both nancy and robin looked down to see your sleeping form holding to robins arm and gently sucking on the ear of your soft rabbit.
Sharing a smile the two of them decided to put you to bed.
Nancy turned off the telly and got up from the sofa while robin gently removed her arm as to not disturb your slumber.
Reaching down nancy picked you up and cradled you her chest signalling to robin to work infront of her. Walking towards the your bedroom robin opened the door and made her way to your bed pulling back the sheets and pulling out one of you dummy's in your bedside table.
Nancy gently set you down on the mattress pulling the sheet and duvet over the top of you while robin slowly placed the dummy in your mouth.
Before the two of them left the room they each placed gentle kisses to each side of you temple before making sure you had everything you needed.
Making their way towards the door nancy opened it and the two of them looked back at you your face highlighted by the soft yellow lamp beside you your dummy lightly bobbing in your mouth and they smiled warmly.
"We'll see you in the morning little one."
"We love you little princess."

Avoidance
summary: you’ve been friends with steve harrington since freshman year in highschool. and you’ve also been in love with him since then. but you realize he would never love you back, so you decide to put some distance between the two of you without explanation.
warnings: cursing, self esteem issues, attachment issues, abandonment issues, emotional angst to fluff !
A/N: ignore nancy in the gif 💔 this is not proofread cuz i’m tired and lazy. also it’s been quite awhile since i’ve written but i’m feeling extremely attached to steve still and also needed to get some of my own emotions out lol
word count: 3.3k exact :)
Tumblr media
It was yet another sleepless night. Your brain too wrapped up in anxious thoughts to even let you think about closing your eyes for more than a few seconds. So you listen to the rain hitting your window and let the thoughts take over, deciding you needed to stop pushing them away. You weren’t sure how long you’d been staring at your ceiling for, but you were shaken out of your thoughts by the phone ringing. It’s one in the morning who the hell is calling? You thought as you went to answer the loud device.
“Hello?” You sounded drained.
“Couldn’t sleep either huh?” Steve sounded almost as drained.
“Nope. Why’d you call?” You hadn’t meant to sound so short but you’ve had quite a rough day at work and didn’t feel like talking. Usually Steve would make you feel better immediately but lately being around him, even hearing his voice, has just made your heart hurt.
“Figured if I was awake you probably would be too.”
“Okay… So why call? Just to test your theory?” You joked but there was hardly a joking tone present.
“I guess I just wanted to hear your voice. Helps me clear my thoughts sometimes,” he ignored your joke, “are you alright?”
“Yeah Steve. Just peachy.”
God why am i being so rude to him? He didn’t do anything?
“Was work bad today?” He knew better than to take your tone personally.
“Yeah. Nothing new though. Just people being assholes.” You didn’t feel like talking about how your day at the video store went. You’re pretty sure you even scared Robin with how irritated you were getting, considering Robin was silent half the shift and she always has something to say.
“I’m sorry princess. Anything specific-“
Princess… A name he initially used a joke, to call you dramatic or pretend like you were asking for so much as if you believed you were royalty, that he’s been using on a more regular basis lately. God you hate that name.
“Steve I’m really tired. I gotta go.” You felt bad for cutting him off but you couldn’t pretend to give a shit about work right now. Not when you knew that’s not what was really bothering you.
There was a beat of silence, Steve being surprised at you cutting him off and the tone you had, “okay. I hope you sleep well. I’m here if you need me.” He knew you weren’t sleeping soon.
“Yeah you too. Goodnight.”
When Steve hung up he couldn’t shake the awful feeling he had that he had done something wrong. Usually he doesn’t worry about that with you. You’re always so kind to him and reassuring, knowing he blames himself easily for really anything he can. But tonight just now, that was new. He hated it. He hated not being able to make you feel better.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After falling asleep sometime around four in the morning, your alarm went off at six thirty for work. Needless to say you ended up flipping off your alarm clock and going back to bed. You woke up again to the phone ringing, but you decided to ignore it, completely forgetting why your alarm went off. About your shift at Family Video.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To say Steve was anxious when he arrived at work to see Keith instead of you, was a huge understatement. Not even because he hated working with him, but because you were weird last night and now you didn’t show up to work. You haven’t missed a day since you started there.
“Hey Keith. Where’s y/n?”
“Thought you would know Harrington. She decided not to show up today.”
“She didn’t say why?”
Keith laughed, “she didn’t even call.”
Steve’s anxiety only grew. He immediately went to the phone in the back, calling you. If rang for what felt like an eternity. No answer. He called again. Okay, he called a few more times.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your phone wouldn’t stop ringing. You looked to your clock, it was twelve pm. You reluctantly got up to answer.
“What?” You already knew it was Steve. He was the only one who would call that many times in a row.
“Y/n what the hell?” You could hear the panic and slight relief mixed with a hint of anger.
“Mind telling me what i’m being yelled at for?”
“Yelled at? I’m not-“ you heard him inhale, you knew he was pinching the bridge of his nose, “does your shift at work today ring a bell?” You couldn’t even tell which tone he had that time.
“Shit. Sorry. Slept in.”
“…That’s it? That’s all you got?”
“Jesus Steve I’m so sorry you had to work with Keith. I’ll get ready and head over there, calm do-“
“I don’t give a shit that I had to work with Keith, y/n. I thought- I was worried something happened.”
Shit. Now you were really being an asshole. You know how anxious he gets when someone isn’t where they’re supposed to be and don’t give a reason. Not after all the scary shit you’ve been through. He immediately assumes the worst. Even if it does seem slightly irrational, neither of you are sure what exactly is rational anymore.
“I’m sorry. Seriously I just went to bed so late and i stopped my alarm without thinking. I’ll be there as soon as I can. I’m really sorry.” You felt like crying. You know the panic he was feeling when he didn’t see you and when it took ten calls for you to answer. Steve could hear that through the phone.
“It’s okay. Sorry I got a bit too anxious over nothing. Take your time, yeah? I’ll be alright with Keith for a little longer.” His voice was much softer again.
“I get it Steve. Please don’t apologize, I think you’re allowed to feel that way after everything you’ve been through.” Steve felt himself relax a bit, your reassurance made him feel better after worrying all night about doing something that had pissed you off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You arrived at work thirty minutes later somehow. Steve smiled when he saw you and you tried to smile back but you knew it wasn’t very convincing.
“You’re lucky you’re good at knowing what movies customers would like. Otherwise you’d be kicked to the curb y/l/n.” Keith pointed at you, sounding surprisingly less angry than you’d expected.
“Sorry Keith. Won’t happen again I swear.”
“Better not.” He mumbled and walked through the back door to his car.
“Hey. Would you rather sort and restock or check out customers and rewind these?” Steve held up a handful of tapes.
“Doesn’t matter to me.” You shrugged. Steve knew you preferred to sit and rewind the tapes when you were tired and / or anxious. So he stood up and gestures towards the chair he was previously on.
“the rewinding is all your princess.” He did a funny bow and attempted to sound british. Though it was definitely Australian. It actually would’ve been really impressive if Australian is what he was going for.
“Do I get a koala too?” You smirked and it took Steve a second to realize the jab at his accent.
“Wow ok I see how it is I do something kind and you repay me with a snarky comment.” He put his hand over his heart and pretended to be offended. But his grin gave him away.
“Oh I’m sorry. Thank you Steve Harrington! My savior!” You put your hands together and pretended to fawn over him, laughing.
God Steve loved your smile and your laugh. He’d sell a kidney to see it 24/7.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Steve was away stocking the romance section, your thoughts came back. Your depressing mood resurfacing. You were trying to keep your distance a bit, but he kept pulling you back in with his warm smile and his stupid Harrington charm.
You joked every now and then for the rest of your shift, but Steve could tell your mood had changed again. You knew he knew by the look on his face. A weak smile that you knew was the same you were giving him.
“Try to get some better rest tonight. I’ll see you tomorrow?”
“No promises. And yeah.” You lied. You had already decided halfway through your shift that you wouldn’t come in to see him on your next days off, including tomorrow, like you usually did. You were going to make it four days without seeing him. You were going to try not to call him too, but you knew better than that. You knew he’d end up calling you. If not to talk then to check you’re alive.
You waved goodbye and drove home. Deciding to watch a comfort movie before falling asleep earlier than you thought you would. Probably from the lack of sleep from the previous night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Steve looked up every time the bell on the door rang, waiting to see you. The highlight of his day. Except every time he looked, it was never you. Robin noticed of course.
“Alright Steve. This is getting a little pathetic. Even for you.”
He gave her a confused look.
“I know you’re waiting for y/n to walk through the door. We have fifteen minutes till we’re closed. I don’t think she’s coming in today dingus.”
“She just- She usually comes in.”
“Steve you saw her yesterday. She’s probably busy. Maybe Eleven is making her build a fort with her again.”
Steve just shrugged and worked on rewinding the last few tapes. It was oddly a comforting thing for him to do when you weren’t there. It reminded him of you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Steve got home he called you just like you thought he would.
“Hey Steve. Sorry I didn’t stop in today. I am alive and I’m fine. Just had a lot of shopping to do.”
“No it’s okay. You have a life outside of that store.”
It was silent. Neither of you having much to say. Then you spoke up, “You okay?” You could hear something off with Steve.
“Yeah. I just hope you’re okay. You know you can tell me anything.”
“I know Steve. I’m okay. Just in a bit of a rut I guess.”
“If you need anything just call. Please.”
You swear your heart cracked at the way his voice sounded. You know he hates not being able to help, “I will. Promise.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The third day you didn’t show up to say hi to Steve and Robin, Steve decided to not call. He decided to leave you alone, assuming you needed distance or something. Even Robin was confused and a bit worried. Mostly worried for Steve.
“Steve?” He jumped a little when Robin put her hand on his shoulder, jolting him out of his thoughts.
“Yeah? Sorry, was thinking.”
“I can see that. What’s going on?”
“Y/n’s been… weird. She’s been quiet. Which is normal for other people who are around her, but not for me. She’s always making so many jokes when we work together and she always comes in on her days off just to mess with me and pick a new movie to watch. She always calls too. To tell me about whatever movie she watched. But she’s basically been ignoring me. Did I do something? Please tell me if I did something stupid Rob.”
Robin felt her heart sink when he looked up at her searching for answers. He looked like a kicked puppy. She couldn’t find it in herself to tease him.
“She hasn’t said anything to me bud. I’m sorry. I can talk to her though if you-“
“No!” He cleared his throat, “no, it’s okay. I don’t want her to think we’re talking about her when she’s not here.”
“But we are-“
“You know what I mean. Just… Maybe see if she’s okay. But don’t bring me up.”
“I’ll drop by her place tonight then I’ll call you. I’m sure she’s just stressed or something.” She gave him a reassuring smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You were surprised to hear a knock on your door at ten that night.
You opened the door to see Robin.
“Robin? What are you-“
She barged in.
“Okay just come on in then…” You mumbled confused.
“What’s wrong with you?” She didn’t sound angry, but she didn’t sound happy.
“What are you talking about?”
“Oh come on. That shit doesn’t work on me. You know what I mean. Why are you avoiding Steve?”
“Avoiding Steve? I’m not-“
“Almost not showing up to work when you worked with him, making your phone conversations hours shorter than usual, not coming in to say hi,” she was listing evidence on her fingers.
“Okay, okay I get it.” You threw your hands up in surrender.
Robin raised an eyebrow waiting for your explanation.
“Look, you know I have feelings for him. I’ve just been… Thinking about it lately and how I need to move on.”
“Move on? Why?”
“He obviously doesn’t feel the same wa-“
You were cut off by Robin’s laughter.
“What is so funny to you?”
“You really think that dingus isn’t head over heels in love with you too?”
“Woah woah woah first off I never said I was-“
“Oh you don’t have to.”
“Can you please stop cutting me off?”
“Can you please stop being so oblivious? Steve has been sitting there for the past three days sitting there rewinding tapes and watching that front door line a goddamn hawk. He misses you y/n.” This was probably the softest you’ve ever heard Robin talk.
“I know he cares about me. I know we’re close. And I don’t wanna lose him. But I’m tired Robin. I’m tired of reading into every little thing he does and trying to make my feelings obvious to him when I know he doesn’t feel the same way!” You spoke softly at first, but then your voice betrayed you. Cracking at the end as you raised your voice unintentionally.
“I think you need to talk to him. Seriously.” Robin was still speaking softly but she was more stern this time.
“Fat chance.” You mumbled.
“Y/n, I love you, but if you hurt Steve I swear to god… He’s been through enough as it is and you of all people know that. Too many people have left him. I genuinely don’t know what would happen to him if you left him too. He trusts you more than anyone. More than me. More than any of the kids, even Dustin. Don’t fuck this up. Don’t fuck him up.”
And with that, she left. Left your house and left you to think.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On your fourth and final day off you were planning on how to talk to Steve when you worked with him tomorrow. Unfortunately you didn’t get too far when you heard an aggressive knock on your door. You opened it expecting to see Robin.
“Robin I get it I’m going to-“ You stopped as soon as you saw Steve. A very upset looking Steve.
“Y/n I didn’t wanna bother you but this is killing me. I can’t stand not being able to call you and rant about whatever Dustin or Robin did to piss me off that day. I can’t stand not listening to you rant about whatever movie you just watched. I can’t stand not being around you everyday. I don’t even know what I did and I’ve been trying so hard to figure it out but I can’t. I’m sure I did something really fucking stupid per usual, but please tell me what it was so I can fix it.”
“Stevie you didn’t do anything wrong.”
He looked so lost and confused. You gestures for him to come inside. Your parents weren’t home yet.
“Then what- What happened?”
“Fuck.” You muttered and Steve looked so anxious you just wanted to hug him and tell him everything is fine.
“Would you just trust me if I said it’s me and my brain and has nothing to do with anything you did?”
“Y/n that’s not a good enough reason and you know it. Why can’t you just talk to me-“
“I couldn’t stand being so close to you all the time knowing how strongly I’m in love with you okay! And knowing you don’t feel the same.” You didn’t mean to blurt it out like that. But there it was. And you couldn’t take it back.
“How would you know that i don’t feel the same?”
“Because why would you?” You laughed like he just offended you, “you could have any girl you want. Why on earth would you choose me?”
“Because you actually give a shit about me. You’ve been there for me when my so called friends weren’t. When my parents weren’t. Hell, you were there for me when Nancy wasn’t. You stuck with me even when I was a total asshole-“
“You were never an asshole Steve. Not to me. You know that.”
“And that’s what I love about you. You always see the good in people even when literally everyone else knows- thinks they’re an asshole.”
You couldn’t hold back the tears welling up at this point, “You know how much I hate everyone who made you feel like that right?” You weren’t even upset about exposing your feelings, you were upset over the fact that Steve still sees himself like that sometimes.
“I know. And if it weren’t for you I’d probably never forgive myself for how I was. But you showed me that I’m really not that guy. I’m not that “King Steve” everyone talked about in highschool. If you weren’t there for me throughout that time up until now, I’d still be such a mess.” He chuckled a little. You didn’t find it humorous however.
“Please don’t give me the credit for that. I just pointed out what you already knew was behind those walls. Fuck! I’m so sorry Steve. I know everything you’ve been through I know about all of the assholes who left you and here I am avoiding you for such selfish reasons!” You were fully crying at this point. How could you do what you hated so many others for doing?
Steve just quietly walked up to you and out your face in his hands, wiping the tears, “It’s okay y/n. I’m okay. I didn’t think you were abandoning me. I just thought I’d done something stupid to upset you.”
“I’m still sorry for making you anxious about it. For the record I don’t think you could ever upset me. at least not for more than ten minutes tops.” He laughed which made you smile.
“You know how much I look up to you yeah?”
“Y/n you don’t have to-“
“I know. But I need you to know. I mean I already blurted out that I love you, so I might as well keep going,” you paused to look into his beautiful dark eyes, making sure he absorbs your words, “you’re the most selfless person I know. You’ll do anything from letting someone rant to you for hours over something silly that upset them, throwing yourself into portals to hell. You pay such close attention to people you care about that you know every little tell-tale sign that somethings wrong. You know I get quiet when I’m anxious, you know what songs to play to help Max when she’s in a mood, I think you’re the only person Mike has ever gone to for advice. You’re so-“
Steve must’ve understood your point because suddenly he was cutting you off with a kiss that took you by surprise, but you quickly reciprocated.
“God I love you so much y/n.” He smiled against your lips.
“I love you so much too Steve.”
“Yeah you made that pretty clear.” He chuckled and you playfully slapped his arm.

you really love her, don’t you?
Tumblr media
(steve harrington x fem!reader)
A/N: good lord i feel like i’ve forgotten how to write. Its been way to fucking long. Sorry its basically all dialogue. haha so basically instead of Robin and Steve getting stuck with the Russians, its fem!reader and Steve. Robin, Erica and Dustin go out for help.
Warnings: a few curse words, mention of blood and vomit?
Summary: After being friends for years, reader has always thought that both she and Steve always had some sort of chemistry. But after the first few weeks of summer and working with Robin, she starts to think otherwise. Before the big battle with the mind flayer, reader and Steve let out their true feelings
Work count: 1.6k
Steve started off as kind of an acquaintance to you. The two of you would see each other in the hallways at school, and even sat next to each other to talk sometimes in some of your classes. But the day you ended up on the wrong road at the wrong time you got sucked into a scary situation, and it kind of forced the two of you to become friends, and over time best friends.
Throughout the years of fighting with the upside down you had grown to love your best friend. Steve has started to show some interest in you a few months before the two of you graduated. Both you and Steve would go hang out alone, whenever you could, but never really called them dates or anything. He would always act super flirty when he was around you, but you never brought it up to him, hoping he would make the first move.
It all carried on until the two of you scored a summer job at the new Starcourt mall, slinging ice cream at Scoops Ahoy, and he seemed to find some interest in your new coworker, Robin Buckley. You and Steve would still hang out, but when you did he would always ask if Robin could come along. While you didn’t mind Robin coming and hanging out, you wished it could still be just the two of you.
As the summer progressed, both you and Robin cracked a secret Russian code and ended up getting trapped in an underground base for more than 24 hours. You heard Steve get punched too many times, and in the end of it all, both you and Steve got injected with some sort of truth serum.
You follow closely behind Dustin going to the front row of the movie theatre, and being told to sit. Both you and Steve do as you’re told.
“Whatever you do, don’t go anywhere.” Dustin says in a very serious tone.
“Fine, dad.” Steve says back sassily, turning to look at you causing the two of you to burst out in laughter.
“We mean it, Harrington.” Robin says in such a way that it makes your giggles die down.
“This movie is pretty boring.” you lean over to whisper to Steve. You tear your eyes away from the screen to look at him as he continuously shoves the popcorn that he had mysteriously picked up, into his mouth.
“You know what’s not boring?” he asks with his mouth still full of popcorn, “Water.”
“I saw a water fountain on the way in here wanna go check it out?” you ask while wiggling your eyebrows at him.
Steve leaned forward to look over to the two smaller children talking to Robin, thinking really hard about what you had just asked.
“But Dustin said to not move.”
“Steve, when have we ever listened to Dustin.”
He leaned back and made eye contact with you and shrugged, throwing the bag of popcorn onto the ground and grabbing your hand, pulling you up and out of the theatre.
The two of you stumbled down the hallway and to the fountain, as soon as Steve saw it he ran to it like it was an old friend that he hadn’t seen in years. He instantly stuck his face into the water and drank like it was the last thing he’d ever do.
“That’s amazing”
“Slow down, bucko. Maybe take her on a date first.” you say before grabbing Steves shoulders pushing him out of the way, “It’s my turn, you’ve had enough.”
As you’re drinking the mediocre fountain water, you see out of the corner of your eye, Steve wobble over to the middle of the floor and look up to the ceiling.
“Hey, Y/N.” he says, causing you to lift your head looking in the direction that your name was coming from. “You gotta check this out.”
You take your last sip of water before walking over to the boy and looked up to the ceiling as he was, noticing that the roof was very pretty but starting to spin a little too fast for your liking.
After rushing to the bathroom to puke up all that was in your stomach, you and Steve sit on the yellow, white and black checkered floor in silence.
“Hey, the ceiling finally stopped spinning.” you said opening your eyes for the first time since laying down to cool yourself off on the floor.
“Holy shit, you’re right. You think we puked it all up?” he asks
“I think so? Ask me something.”
“Um, when was the last time you peed your pants?”
“Today. When the Russian doctor pulled out that bone saw.”
“Oh, my god.” He let out with a loud chuckle causing you to start laughing.
“It was just a tiny bit!” you say before sitting up against the wall of the stall so you could hear Steve a little bit better.
“Okay, okay my turn.”
“Alright, uh.” you start thinking. Of all of the things you could ask him, one thing comes to mind. “Have you ever been in love?”
“Yup, Nancy Wheeler. But you know how that went.”
“Do you ever feel like you’re still in love with her?”
“No, but I think it’s because I found someone who’s a little better for me.” he admits
You sigh as he continues putting your head on your crossed arms that are on your knees knowing where this is going.
“It’s crazy. You know how ever since Dustin’s gotten home from camp he’s been telling me that I’ve got to find my Suzie. I think I was just scared of Tommy making fun of me or something.”
Robin
“Or that I wouldn’t be prom king or whatever. It was so stupid because the girl I should’ve been hanging out with has been sitting in front of me, the whole time. Cuz first of all, she’s hilarious. She’s so funny.”
Robin
“And, I think she’s so pretty, beautiful even. I’ve never seen anyone as gorgeous as her. She’s smart, way smarter than me. She even helped crack a secret Russian code. She’s honestly unlike anyone I’ve ever met. You know?”
Robin
With your head still low, you felt tears creep their way into your eyes, stinging a little at the corner. You knew you shouldn’t have asked this question, you knew where this would lead. Not thinking about how badly it would actually hurt.
“Y/N?” you heard followed by a little knocking on the stall in front of you, causing you to lift your head a little and look in that direction. “Y/N, did you just OD in there? “
You sniffled a little wiping the tears that had fallen onto your cheeks on the back of your hand, “No, I’m fine. I’m still alive.” you say followed by a deep breath.
Suddenly you see a pair of feet slide under the divider, followed by the rest of Steve.
“So what do you think?” he asks you with a hint of hopefulness in his eyes.
You take another small breath before looking up at the bruised boy in front of you. “About?”
“This girl?”
“She sounds amazing, and perfect for you.” you say knowing he’s talking about Robin.
“Yeah? You really think?” he asks excitedly.
“I mean yeah, it sounds like you really love her, don’t you?”
“I really do.” he responds looking into your eyes while reaching for your hand. You pull your hand away from him kind of quickly with tears forming in your eyes, causing his brows to furrow in confusion.
“What- what’s wrong? Why are you crying?”
“It’s nothing, nothing. I’m really happy for you, I think you and Robin are great for each other.” you say looking down into your lap.
“Wh- Robin? I wasn’t talking about Robin. I- I was talking about you.”
“You what?”
“I love you, you dingus.” he says as a small smile falls onto his lips. Steve switches sides, moving to sit much closer to you. You place your hand on his face, rubbing your thumb across his un-bruised cheek.
“I love you too, Steve.” You weren’t sure who leaned in first, but the kiss was short and sweet and it wasn’t like you had imagined. But given the circumstances, a dirty bathroom floor was not the place to have a long and passionate kiss.
“You know, that wasn’t anything like I had imagined it.” you say looking at Steve.
“I know, kissing on the bathroom floor covered in blood and vomit wasn’t exactly part of the plan for me either.” he says in response causing you to burst into a fit of giggles slowly turning into laughter. You were pretty sure you both still had some drugs in your system, but you felt better knowing that Steve felt the same way you felt about him.
While still laughing, you lean into kiss him another time but mid kiss Robin busts through the door with Erica and Dustin following close behind. You and Steve turn to look at your friends and Robin has a smirk on her lips as if she’s about to say something, but is instantly cut off by Erica.
“It’s about damn time, nerds. You two have been eyeballing each other since, the beginning of the summer.” she says with her arms crossed, rolling her eyes, and for some reason this caused the two of you to laugh even more. Sure it wasn’t perfect, but you now had a new sense of strength to make it through this, knowing that you had Steve by you and would be there for you on the other side of it all.
