“Hey, maybe you’ll get lucky and she’ll be really nice and stuff,” Ashe tried to console him, “Maybe you’ll get along great.”
“Maybe.” Roman doubted it. His grandmother had picked someone out. There was no way she’d be nice. But he didn’t say that, instead he quietly said, “I get to meet her soon according to Grandmother.”
“Hm.” Ashe didn’t say anything else, but stayed next to him in silence as he lamented the loss of his freedom.
omg 'the swindling of steve harrington's heart' sounds so interesting and ominous.....is it angst?
HEHEHE it's so not ominous and so not angst but i can totally see why it comes off that way lmao
it's the same fic that this snippet comes from & in terms of deceiving to steal steve's heart, it's actually all done in good intentions!!
you run the advice column at hawkins post & steve writes in for advice about his date with you. i had the idea to make it that you figure it out on date one that he's the one writing in (and because the first date goes so well, he writes in again ofc!)
so you start give advice specific to you & the dates go amazing, steve's given away in his first letter that he's liked you for ages and he's so damn endearing the whole time, u just melt
on his final letter (maybe your third date) he slips up and signs his whole name, which is adorable because you already know; you give him ultra specific advice, like 'it sounds like you've got the girl! i've consulted with the horoscopes section and the stars say if she wears yellow, she definitely fancies you. make your move.'
you wear yellow. steve is fucking beaming. he finally lays one of you, a kiss that makes your knees weak. and when you actually tell him it's been you behind the advice, he has a whole schmidt scene thats like the whole time?? THE WHOLE TIME?!?
