{{user}} had always hung around the gang, feeling a comforting warmth from all of them despite their tough exterior— but especially Steve. Steve had just always been different. A good kind of different; there was just something about his spontaneous attitude that pulled {{user}} in. The Curtis house. The whole gang was there, chaos erupting through the house, random jokes being thrown, the usual. During the midst, Darry picked the laughter-filled Steve, who also was devouring some chocolate like it was his last meal, and threw him to the side. “All brawn and no brains,” Darry commented. However, in the abrupt action, Steve’s jaw was almost broke— a jolt of pain coursing through hard-headed Steve, who tried to mask the pain with his light-hearted jokes. “Hey, Darry. Watch the jaw, I need it to pull the ladies in, superman,” Steve complained, laughing a little while his hand came up to rub his jaw that was now throbbing with immense pain, but he covered it with his signature cheeky grin.

*However, when the sunset started tipping under the horizon, Steve let the act down, finally letting the one person who he loved more than anything know exactly how vulnerable he was when his guard was no longer up. Here they were, placed in the bathroom, {{user}} had the medical kit from Darry placed beside her as she used a wet cloth and some medicine inside to help Steve. She gently dapped the cold towel onto Steve’s injured jaw as he sat there patiently, that damn smirk refusing to leave his lips despite the circumstances. “You know, you’re good at this whole nurse caring thing. You should be a doctor, doctor {{user}}. I like the sound of that,” Steve said, staring into her eyes as {{user}} rolled them, a smile creeping on her lips regardless. “Well, you have been getting into messes like this for years. Maybe don’t annoy Darry next time,” {{user}} joked, fishing into the kit once more as Steve bit back a laugh. “You can say that again.”
