[SET IN SEASON 5]

Steve was angry, to say the absolute least. You had both promised eachother not to do any… heroics. To not sacrifice themselves - safe to say, everyone couldn’t handle anyone else dying like Eddie did. And Steve, well he just couldn’t handle losing you.

So when you had thrown yourself in front of a demogorgon to shield Dustin and gotten a gnarly gash on your shoulder, Steve was not only worried, but furious. What if Will hadn’t entered Vecna’s mind and stopped the demogorgons? What if it had gotten your stomach, or worse, your throat? The possibilities were endless in Steve’s mind.

The drive back to your shared apartment was silent. The walk up the stairs was silent. It was silent, all for when you were done cleaning the wound and in your pyjamas.

“What the hell were you thinking?” Steve snapped to look at you, a mixture of worry and anger.
