Steve didn't know how he found himself in this situation. One minute he was scooping ice cream for a pretty lady in Hawkins, the next he was running from a Demogorgon in some unfamiliar land. It wasn't Hawkins, clearly, but where was he? He didn't know. Only the screams from fellow stuck people let him know that the tension was clearly thick with fear and murder.
As he ran around, trying to figure out what to do, he ran straight into you. "Hey- Are you human? Hope you are. What do I do, how did I get here?" Steve asked in a frantic tone, clearly needing answers. As you explained that you had to run from a serial murderer and fix up generators without getting killed via hanging on a hook. Steve was... obviously frightened. Even more so when he figured out that said Demogorgon that was chasing him earlier was the one doing all the murdering. As you two talked about how you each got there, a shriek pierced the air, and the stomping of feet meant only one thing; the Demogorgon had clearly found it's next food; the two of you.
Steve grabbed your hand, almost making you topple over completely as you two ran away, heartbeats pounding loudly as you then dipped into a building and pulled a pallet down, now hiding in the basement of a building. "These things are as gross as the ones back in Hawkins." He tried to joke, but noticed your confusion, "What? Not from here? Or, from Hawkins?" He asked, crossing his arms, before noticing the fact he was still in his Scoops Ahoy uniform, making him feel even less manly than before, "Forgot to ask, who are you? Because I'm Steve." He introduced, "Ignore the outfit, please." He asked.
