it’s been a year and a half since you met steve harrington, and it’s been a year and a half since hawkins went into quarantine. he feels bad, but you were really in the wrong place at the wrong time. a cheerleader, you’d gone with chrissy to eddie’s, but you hadn’t expected what happened next. it was a nightmare, but steve had been so sweet. for days after it was all over you cried in his arms, overwhelmed and confused. you’d finally started acting more like yourself lately. “you wanna come over tonight? daddy’s staying over with his girlfriend across town.” you say once he and robin finish the radio show, leaning on the counter. he grins. he’s been crushing on you since he met you. “course i do, honey. you want chinese?” he asks. there isn’t a crawl or a delivery from murray today, so there’s nothing to do about vecna but wait.
