Steveās not sure how it even worked.
He can still remember the look on Robinās face when you agreed, how she was speechless for almost ten minutes because she couldnāt process what had just happened.
Steveās reaction was about the same as hers, in all honesty. Heās gotten so used to striking out that asking people out has become something of a game to him. He knows heāll get a no, and he knows Robin will laugh her ass off at him. But what can he say? He likes putting a smile on his best friendās face.
Needless to say, youāve shaken him. In the best possible way. Because your answer was three letters instead of two.
And now, he's a little bit in over his head.
Or, to be more accurate, a lot in over his head.
It seems like itās been ages since heās gone on a date, even though itās only been a few months at most. He feels lost, like heās completely unlearned everything he ever knew about girls.
He hates it, despises it with every fiber of his own being, but he also knows itās true; he needs advice. And although heāll never admit it to the little shitheadās face, thereās no one better he can think of going to than his very own protege. Who better to remind him of his own prowess than the person who learned everything they know from him?
One look at Dustinās smug little face and Steve almost regrets it. Almost.
āJust canāt stay away, can you?ā
āYeah, yeah.ā Steve rolls his eyes and gives the younger boy a little shove, camouflaging it with an affectionate pat on the back. āThis is strictly business, Henderson.ā
āOh, is it now?ā The younger boyās voice takes on a smug tone as he folds his fingers together and leans back in his chair. āWell then, why donāt you have a seat? Step into my office.ā
Steve rolls his eyes and slides into the booth, shooting a smile and a āthank youā to the kind waitress who delivers two milkshakes to their table.
Dustin takes his time and makes a meal of unwrapping his straw, feeding off of Steveās clear impatience Steveās fingers tap against the table, reminding himself that patience is necessary when you come to someone for a favor. Itās just that itās Dustin, and Dustin knows exactly how to get under the older boyās skin in the most annoying-yet-oddly-endearing fashion.
āSoā¦ā Dustin finally says after a lengthy sip of strawberry milkshake. āWhat brings you so humbly to me?ā
āIāve got a date.ā
And Dustin, the little bastardāhe laughs. A deep, rumbling belly laugh, so pure and unfiltered that the three other occupied tables in the diner pause their conversations to get a look at the boy clutching his sides.
Steveās a little embarrassed by the attention, but even more embarrassed that Dustinās reaction is so genuine. The fact that the idea of him having a date is so laughable is a bit of a punch to the gut. It hasnāt really been that long, has it?
When Dustinās laughter finally dies down he realizes Steveās face is completely serious, and it makes him giggle even more.
āWait, youāre actually serious? Who on earth did you manage to pull?ā
Steveās nearly bashful as he says your name, and even more bashful when Dustinās jaw visibly drops.
āNo fucking way. Iād believe anyone else, but her? Sheās likeā¦ hotter than Phoebe Cates. Thereās no way you wouldnāt strike out with her.ā
Steveās immediately on the defensive. Is it really so hard to believe that he, former king of Hawkins High, could pull the most gorgeous girl in town?
But thatās just it. Thereās really no one like you, not in his eyes. Heās admired you since freshman year and never once even tried with you because he knew he wasnāt worthy. You were always in the backgroundāa beautiful, kind, smart, funny girl just out of his reach. Part of the reason he even asked you out was because he was so sure he would strike out. In the end, losing his confidence was exactly what he needed to pull the girl of his dreams.
And thatās why thereās so much riding on this. Youāve always been his biggest āwhat ifā, the girl he wonders about when thinking that maybe not trying has been holding him back. And apparently, it has.
āLook, I donāt even know how it happened, okay? But she said yes, andā¦ and I really donāt want to blow it.ā
āWell duh. Youāll have to leave town if you blow it with her, you know that, right? If she doesnāt think youāre worth it, no one else in this town ever will again.ā
āThatās exactly what Iām afraid of!ā Steve groans, slouching down so far in the booth that Dustin can just barely see his poor, overwhelmed face.
āSteve, listenā¦ā Dustinās voice takes on an almost fatherly quality, an omniscient tone that gives off the illusion of great hidden knowledge. He gets like this sometimes, and Steveās not always sure that it is just an illusion. āDonāt let this go to your head, but youāre, like, one of the coolest guys I know. If she doesnāt like youā¦ thatās her problem, not yours. Okay?ā
Steve straightens in his seat, a little shocked to hear such kind words from a friend that heās used to being mercilessly teased by.
āNo, no, no, itās going to your head. I take it all back. Forget I said anything.ā Dustinās hearty giggle makes Steve smile as he sets a wad of bills on the table and slides out of the booth.
āYouāre not so bad Henderson, you know that?ā He gives the younger boyās full head of curls an affectionate ruffle. āThanks, kid. Iāll radio later.ā
Not that Steve didnāt have total faith in his young protege, but itās still a relief that the pep talk turned out to be exactly what he needed to hear. Dustinās right, after all. Steveās worked hard to become the man heās always wanted to be. He may not be dripping charisma or sex appeal the way he used to, but heās much more comfortable in his own skin. Thatās what counts, right?
And you really are his dream girl. The opportunity to take you out tonight, even if it ends up being your first and only date together, is an honor. Heās much less focused now on all the ways he could screw up, hyper-fixated on putting the effort in to make this the best night of your life.
That effort comes out in the carefully selected suit jacket he dons over his white button-up, the extra spritz of cologne, the careful touch-up shave to vanquish his five oāclock shadow, the extra ten minutes using the perfect amount of product in his hair so that it stays in place yet is still soft to the touch.
By the time he gets to Enzoās (half an hour early, mind), heās practically vibrating with nerves and anticipation. Heās never been much of an overthinker, but he sure is tonight. Is this place too much for the first date? Would you rather do something lowkey, like catch a movie or go for a walk in the park? He has to remind himself a couple of times that you agreed to this, that you wouldnāt have said yes if you werenāt interested in the arrangement.
To say heās prepared for this is putting it lightly. Heās run through every possible scenario in his mind, gone over conversation starters and questions he wants to ask you over and over again until he knows exactly how he wants to phrase each thing.
And still, nothing could prepare him for when you walk through the door.
He has to physically restrain his jaw from dropping because in the moment he sees you, every well-planned thought and all etiquette is flushed down the proverbial pipes. Youāre nothing short of breathtaking in a dress that hugs all the right curves and shows just enough cleavage to have him imagining what else there might be to see. Your hair is pinned back out of your face, eyes framed by just the slightest bit of makeup to make the color of your irises pop. He swears heās never seen a shade quite like them. Itās like you move in slow motion as you approach himāhe sees the entrance of the smoking hot love interest in every romantic comedy, complete with smoke and fireworks, as you move towards the table.
And then some sense of decorum returns to his addled brain, and he quickly shoots up so he can pull out your chair for you like a proper gentleman. He catches just the slightest whiff of your perfume, and heās a goner. Heās ready to sign his life away to you, to yank his own heart out of his chest to offer to your careful hands.
He has to give his head a shake to compose himself before he goes any further off the deep end. No oneās ever thoroughly shaken him the way you have, and itās been a matter of thirty seconds. Itās almost intimidating, the effect you have on him.
āYou lookā¦ incredible,ā he fumbles as he takes his seat across from you. āI mean, you always do, butā¦ wow.ā
The shy giggle you emit tugs at a heartstring he didnāt even know he had.
āThank you,ā you tell him with a genuine smile. āYou clean up very well yourself.ā
āI do like to put in some effort every once in a while.ā He flashes the most charming smile he can muster, and just like that heās back. His resolve to impress you is reinforced tenfold. Youāve shaken him, and itās such an unfamiliar feeling that heās practically bumbling. He wants to shake you just as badly.
The foodās delicious, and the conversationās even better. He has a track record for taking out a moreāfor lack of a better termābimbo-y type, and thatās definitely not you. Youāre smart, youāre witty, but you donāt make him feel like an idiot. Heās so taken with you that he doesnāt even notice that three hours have passed until he looks around the room and notices that every table is now empty and bussed.
The waiter delivers the check, and Steve notices you gnawing on your lip.
āWhatās on your mind?ā He asks, trying not to be too prying.
āI donāt want this to be over yet.ā
Steve smiles. Heās got you; hook, line, and sinker. Heās never been so sure of anything, and that surprises him. Heās used to dates who are easy to read and even easier to take home, and those arenāt the impressions youāve been giving him. To know that youāre feeling exactly what heās feeling is a huge confidence boost.
āI donāt either.ā
Your hand is so small compared to his. Thatās all he can think about as he strolls next to you, his fingers intertwined with yours. Heās always considered hand-holding to be childās play, itās never excited him before the way it does in this moment with you.
Itās pitch black in the park and he can hear the overlapping chirping of summer cicadas and grasshoppers, the perfect background noise now that the conversation has died down. Itās less about getting to know each other at this point and more just basking in each otherās presence, prolonging the inevitable because neither one of you can bear to call it a night when itās been such a good few hours.
Youāre shocked, to say the very least. Steve certainly has a reputation, and itās not for being a romantic. Yet everything tonight has flown in the face of all the rumors youāve been hearing since junior high. You figured heād be a fun fling, and probably only one night at thatāyouād made your peace with the idea. To find that heās kind, considerate, funny, and can match your intellect and quick witā¦ itās a very pleasant surprise. And thatās what has you out well past a decent hour, giddy over simply holding his hand like youāre a damned school girl all over again.
āI should probably let you go home,ā Steve sighs wistfully. He hates to be the one to bring it up, but youāre on your fifth lap around the park and about to circle back to where your car is parked so now seems the best time.
Youāre chewing your lip again, a thoughtful habit that makes his heart pound just a little bit harder.
Hereās the thing: youāre really not the bold type. You act confident, sure, but in practice itās a lot more difficult for you. So no oneās more surprised than you are when you say, āYou could come home with me. If you want.ā
Steveās definitely shocked, too. Less shocked at your proposition and more at the fact that heās tempted to decline. Because no matter how much heās been running through the back of his mind what you might look like under that gorgeous dress, he doesnāt want this to end there. For the first time in his life, he wants to find more meaning than sex out of a relationship. He doesnāt want to take you home and never see you again. He wants to take you out again, and again, and again, and again after that. He sees a future, for once, that doesnāt look dim and hopeless. That fact alone scares the shit out of him.
He realizes heās waited way too long to reply and fumbles for an answer. āOf course I want to. Iād be an idiot not to. Butā¦ā
You chew that cursed bottom lip of yours again, and Steve has to focus on the obvious cue youāre giving him rather than the fact that he wants to be the next set of teeth around that lip.
He stops in his tracks, gently pulling on your hand to face him so he can take your other hand in his free one. āItās not a bad but. I mean, Iām going to go home kicking myself for saying no because I really honestly do want toā¦ well, yāknow. Butā¦ I want to do this right with you. I want to take you out again. I want to get to know you and see where this goes. I canātā¦ I donāt want this to end tonight.ā
Heās eternally grateful for how dark it is as he feels a flush consume his face. He canāt remember a time heās been so honest and open, especially on a first date; but the look on your face tells him heās done something right.
āOkay,ā you tell him, squeezing his hands in yours. āYouā¦ honestly have no clue how nice it is to hear that.ā
āOf course,ā he continues, āif you just want me for my body, no hard feelings.ā
You laugh at that, genuinely laugh, and Steve thinks itās the best sound heās ever heard.
āNo,ā you reassure him. āNo, Iā¦ I wanna see where this goes, too.ā
Youāre stopped only a few paces from your car, and Steve knows with a twist of his gut that this is the end of the night. It makes his gut turn with disappointment, but also with anticipation of when heāll see you next. Already, his mind is flooding with ideas of where he can take you and what youāll do together.
You drop one of his hands so you can walk but keep a tight grip on the other until you get to your driverās side door, hesitating outside because youāre still not ready for this to be over. It takes every ounce of restraint he has not to kiss you, unsure of if that would be moving too fast.
Thankfully, you make the call yourself. Leaning up on your toes, hands against his chest for balance, you press your lips against his and he has to summon every mite of strength not to moan. No oneās ever tasted so sweet, molded against him so perfectly. His hands drift from your shoulders down your arms, coming to rest on your waist as he pulls you just a little bit closer. Itās a fight of will not to overstep, to break off the kiss before it can become too heated. His mind is spinning by the time you break away. Heās aching for more, and he hopes you are too.Ā
āGoodnight, sweetheart.ā
āGoodnight, Steve.ā
Your sweet voice replays in his mind all night, long after youāve gotten into your car and driven away, long after heās returned to his own vehicle and pulled the radio out from under the driverās seat to check in with Dustin, long after he arrives home and soaks in a cold shower for longer than he probably should. He doesnāt think heāll ever get your voice out of his head, and he couldnāt be any less upset about it.
He practically counts down the minutes until he sees you again. This time, he has a little less restraint. He greets you with a kissāa sweet peck and a hand on your waist that leaves you aching for even more.
Itās a movie this time, a chance to enjoy each otherās company on a night youāre both too tired from working to engage in heavy conversation and getting to know each other further.
It starts with sharing popcorn, then holding hands, then somewhere along the way the film is completely forgotten in favor of your lips meeting his. His breath grows heavy as his hands hold your face, committing you to memory while resisting the urge to explore further. Your hands, meanwhile, are firmly on his thighs, gripping tightly to keep yourself steady as you do everything you can to keep yourself from crawling into his lap.
He whispers your name, and your grip on him tightens.
āW-we shouldnātā¦ā he murmurs, then gives up on the futile attempt at finishing his sentence so that he can pull you even deeper into the kiss as his tongue sweeps across your bottom lip.
It takes everything in him not to moan when your lips eagerly part to accept him.
Needless to say, once the credits start rolling youāre both more than a little hot under the collar.
āLet me buy you dinner,ā Steve suggests as he woefully unwinds himself from you. Declining doesnāt even flicker through your mind as a possibility.
Itās not Enzoās this time, but it doesnāt have to be. He could set a soggy peanut butter and jelly sandwich in front of you at this point and youād still thank him for it. This time around, youāre not really as interested in the cuisine as you are just simply getting through this meal to whatās next. Because whatās next is all youāve been thinking about since you walked through the doors the night of that very first date and saw Steve Harrington wearing a blazer for you. Itās a level of effort heās definitely not known forāin fact, heās built a reputation for putting in so little effort that it nearly made your jaw drop to see him trying. And it certainly made your heart skip a beat.
But then again, the Steve before you carelessly wolfing down his bacon cheeseburger seems very different from the Steve you knew in high school, even if you didnāt know that iteration as intimately as this one. That one was cool, collected, snarky and pompous and maddeningly desirable.
This Steve, your Steve, is nearly an exact foil. Much less cocky, a little less confident but more self-assured in the ways that actually hold meaning, less worried about what the people around him are observing of him than what youāre observing of him. He seems happier, more carefree, more eager to please others than simply himself. Heās grown so much in such a short amount of time, and you feel proud just for having the honor to witness it. Significantly more proud to be on the receiving end of his affections now that they hold the kind of value youāve always wished they would.
He looks up and notices you staring at him while lost in thought, a small smile spreading across his lips as your eyes quickly dart away.
āWhatās on your mind?ā He questions as he licks a stray bit of ketchup from his thumb.
āJustā¦ happy Iām here. With you.ā It brings heat to your cheeks to admit it, but you donāt want him to go unappreciated in this moment.
Itās the right thing to say, because his smile grows even wider. āIām happy too,ā he admits. āIā¦ Iāve wanted to ask you out for a while. Could never work up the courage, I guess.ā
āSteve āthe hairā Harrington was intimidated by me?ā You say it with a mock gasp, but your shock is more genuine than you give off. Never in a million years would you have thought that he, the man who could have whoever he wanted, would be worried over you saying no to him. Itās almost comical, especially considering the way you practically threw yourself at him on your first date. Of course then, you had no clue how much heād developed as a person. Youāre almost ashamed of your behavior now, as if you mightāve inadvertently been taking advantage of the new and improved Steve who isnāt just into you for a hookup.
He shrugs, nearly bashful at your teasing. āNever figured I was good enough for you. So I didnāt bother to try.ā
Youāre genuinely curious now, leaning in a little closer and brushing your fingers against his hand resting atop the diner counter. āWhat made you change your mind?ā
āHonestly? I was so sure youād say no that I asked just to give Robin a chuckle. She loves watching me get shot down.ā
That makes you frown, and heās quick to backtrack. āI wanted to! I justā¦ Iāve had a bad track record lately. And youāreā¦ youāre you. Youāre the last person I should be worthy of.ā
His eyes are quick to avert from your gaze, bottom lip tugged between his teeth as he contemplates whether heās said too much.
āSteveā¦ā you properly grab his hand now in the hopes that itāll bring his eyes back to you, and it works. āYouāre the only person Iāve deemed worthy in a long time, honestly.ā
Steve Harrington is scaldingly warm. Itās one of many sensations forcing your mind into overdrive as he lays you delicately across the backseat of his beemer, one hand cushioning the back of your head while simultaneously deepening the already heated kiss and the other balancing his weight to lean over you in the cramped space without completely crushing you.
Your fingers tangle themselves into his soft brown locks, tugging ever-so-slightly as his tongue slips between your parted lips. Heās an eager explorer and youāre more than happy to let him take the lead, to show you all the skill youāve heard so many whispers about.
You let out an involuntary moan as he wedges himself even closer to you, his body heat soaking through all the layers of clothing between the two of you and warming you all the way to your very bones.
Youāre practically aching, ready to beg, and he knows it the second you wrap your legs around his waist in an attempt to get him even closer. If thereās one thing Steve Harringtonās good at, itās assessing your needs. He pulls away just the slightest bit to adjust his position so he can get closer, wedging a knee between your legs to press right against your core, and it makes you jolt back against the car door at the same time his head hits the roof just a bit too hard.
You both pause for a moment, the reality of your situation hitting you simultaneously, and then youāre laughing. Itās light and edged with unresolved want, but itās enough to fracture the tension of the moment.
āIām sorry,ā he whispers. āShouldnāt have gotten so carried away. This isnāt how I want to do this.ā
āNo?ā
āNo. You deserve way better than this old beater,ā he chuckles, then leans down to kiss you. This kiss is lighter, no longer edged with tension and lust. He kisses you just to kiss youāthereās no end goal to it this time.
āWhat could be better than a BMW?ā You tease lightly, trying to reassure him that youāre less disappointed than you really feel.
āYou know. Something romantic. A proper bed, rose petals, maybe a few candlesā¦ā
āI donāt need all that,ā you try to tell him.
āI think I do,ā he admits. And thatās enough to pull you back, to remind you that you need to be patient and grateful that he values you so much as to want to do this whole thing properly. That his affection is something to be cherished, not taken for granted.
āIām sorry,ā you whisper. āI didnāt mean to be pushy.ā
āPlease donāt apologize.ā He hesitates to untangle himself from you, even though he knows he needs to. āI want this just as bad. I justā¦ I need it to be right.ā
āAs long as I have you, itāll be right,ā you reassure. āI hope you know that.ā
He presses his lips to yours again, a slow and passionate kiss that he hopes communicates every bit of adoration he feels for you in this moment.
āItāll be perfect. I swear,ā he vows. Youāve never believed anything more whole-heartedly than you do this promise.Ā
~~~
āWait, youāre telling me that you literally had her under you and you stopped?ā Robinās halfway through chewing a mouthful of popcorn and the absolute carnage inside her agape mouth makes Steve give her a light shove.
āItās not polite to talk with your mouth full, yāknow.ā
āItās not polite to blue-ball either!ā She shoots back in utter disbelief.
āHow do you think I felt? I was this close,ā he holds his thumb and index finger barely millimeters apart, āto sealing the deal.ā
She just shakes her head. āYou, Steve Harrington, are a genuine, bonafide idiot.ā
Sheās not telling him anything he doesnāt know. Itās been three days since the aborted fling in the backseat of his car, and heās barely thought of anything else. Especially since youāve been away from home both of the past nights when heās called. Heās starting to worry youāve gotten the wrong impression, that heās not interested or that heās toying with you. Itās the exact opposite. He wants nothing more than to know you in the most intimate way he can know you. But he needs it to be flawless. He needs it to be well thought-out and precisely planned, the most romantic event in the history of copulation. He wonāt settle for anything less, not with you. You deserve perfection, and he wonāt give you anything less.
āItās not that I donāt want to,ā he tries to explain. āI want to more than anything. But if youāre gonna go to town on a goddess, you need to do some worshiping, yāknow? I donāt feel like Iāve done enough.ā
Your heart pounds in your chest as you hear this admission. You werenāt sure what to expectāworried that maybe visiting him at work was an overstepābut hearing him call you a goddess certainly wasnāt on your radar.
āYouāve done more than enough, Steve.ā
The sound of your voice makes Steve jump and whirl around, oblivious to Robinās sly smirk and mumbled excuse of needing to attend to something in the back room.
āH-hey!ā He squeaks, then clears his throat in an attempt to get his tone back to its normal octave. āWhatā¦ whatāre you doing here?ā
āOh, just came to pick up a tape,ā you tease. āBut mostly I came to see you.ā
āMe?ā He takes a moment to ground himself, loosening his too-tight grip on the counter. āI meanā¦ I tried to call you last night. And the night before?ā
Your brow furrows. āReally? I didnāt get your message.ā
Because he didnāt leave one. He clears his throat and says, āI just figured you were busy.ā
āOh, well, I volunteer at the animal shelter on Wednesdays, and last night was my friendās 21st birthday. Iām sorry I missed you, though.ā
He can tell that youāre really remorseful, and it makes his heart squeeze in his chest a little bit. He plays it off with a dismissive wave of his hand. āNo, itās fine, itāsā¦ are you free tonight?ā
You giggle at the abrupt redirect, but heās played directly into your hand.
āYeah, actually. I was hoping maybe you could help me pick out something for us to watch tonight? If youāre free too, that is.ā
His dark eyes blink slowly, wondering if youāre aware of the implication behind your completely innocent words. You. Him. A movie. Alone. Itās enough to make his head spin.Ā
āIāve never been freer.ā
Conveniently, youāve come in close enough to the end of his shift that by the time youāre done combing through Family Videoās vast selection for the perfect film to use as background noise, Steveās ready to clock out. And since you walked over after finishing your own shift at the local dollar store up the street, it works out perfectly that he can give you a ride straight to his place.
You only glance in the backseat once, but itās enough to get your mind churning. Remembering the feeling of him, of what couldāve been. Anticipating what will be.
āParents home?ā You ask as he pulls into his driveway and parks, trying to sound casual and utterly failing.
āNope,ā he answers easily. āTook a detour to Cabo on their way home from Hawaii.ā
āSounds glamorous. You opted out?ā
āIād rather be here in Hawkins with you than on a beach alone anyday.ā
He must know the effect his words have on you. Surely he can hear the way your heart picks up pace as he looks at you with those dark, affectionate eyes.
āSoā¦ this is home.ā He waves a hand around the entrance hall like itās a shabby nightmare, not the grandest house youāve ever been in.
āIām starting to understand why they used to call you King Steve.ā
Heās almost embarrassed at the mention of that old high school nickname. āTrust me, this isnāt why.ā
āWell, a palace does befit you,ā you tell him with a smirk.
āStop, youāre gonna make me blush.ā The wink he shoots you makes your gut erupt with butterflies, a sensation that would normally make you a little uncomfortable. With Steve, youād take the butterflies all day long.
He gives you a cursory and oversimplified tour of the ground floor before leading you upstairs, and suddenly heās sheepish. Itās been a few moons since he shared his room with a girl, so the nerves are justified. But thatās too simple an explanation. Youāre not a girl. Youāre his dream, his muse, hisāto re-quote himselfāgoddess. No one heās ever cared about more has stood where youāre standing, and it terrifies him.
He hides it well, though, busying himself with making a comfortable nest for you in his bed before setting up the television set on the dresser against the far wall. If ever there was a time to regain his confidence, itās now. He curses whatever god there is that he feels like a fumbling virgin in this moment when nothing is even happening, when just the anticipation is enough to make his hands tremble.
Thereās no more stalling once youāre comfortable and the tape is set to play. His heart pounds to the steady and frantic rhythm of one of those heavy rock songs Dustin listens to now as he sits next to you, hands itching to take a hold of you but also eager not to move too fast.
Almost as if you can sense his hesitation, you reach over and take his hand. āSteve?ā
āYeah?ā
āKiss me.ā
And so he does, and the second his lips slot to yours all the worry and anxiety is gone. Heās Steve Harrington, and he knows what heās doing. Youāre you, and heās wanted this for so long. After years of being lost, he deserves to finally find the love heās been looking for. Heās never been so sure of anything as he is, in this moment of initial clarity, that heās in love with you.
He canāt say it, not yet. Heās sure itās too soon, and the last thing he wants is to scare you off. But heās determined to prove it to you, and the only way besides words is action.
He can handle action.
Thereās no more restraint or hesitation behind his touch. This is it, this is what youāve both been waiting for. Thereās no way in hell heās not going to deliver now. Heās desperate for you, and it shows in the heavy way his hands drag along your curves whilst committing you to memory; the way his tongue languidly swipes across your bottom lip; the way he shifts effortlessly to hover over you even while deepening the kiss.
Heās overwhelming every single sense of yours in such a sudden fashion, and you wouldnāt want it any other way. Especially not when his hips meet yours in a deliciously slow grind and you finally get your first little taste of whatās to come.
He keens at the little breathless whimpers that leave your mouth, reading every single signal you provide him with and accommodating each. Moaning? He continues what heās doing, intensifying if deemed necessary. Whining? He adds something, because he knows itās hard to use your words when youāre wanting so badly. Squirming? He pays attention to the direction of your movement and pulls away or presses closer depending on necessity. Itās down to science for him; he only really cared about extracurriculars in school anyway, and this was certainly his favorite.
But then he comes to his sensesāwhile he doesnāt pull away completely, he needs to clear his mind and he does so by letting up a bit, allowing the kiss to become languid and the heat to extinguish a bit. It only makes you whine more, and Steve curses his damned formula. You shouldnāt be part of an equation. Youāre everything heās ever wanted, and every aspect of your relationship so far has been a new experience for him. He needs this particular activity to be different too. No formulas or calculations. Just you and him and whatever happens naturally.
Clearly you can hear the cogs in his mind turning. You pull away with a concerned look on your face and ask, āwhatās on your mind?ā
Nowās not the time to hide anything from you, he reasons with himself. He wants to be authentic with you, and part of that means telling the truth, even if itās not something particularly comfortable.
āIāmā¦ falling into a routine. And I donāt want to,ā he admits. He sighs and leans back, one hand dragging through his shaggy and disheveled hair, sure that heās going to ruin the mood if he carries on like this. But he refuses to back away from the truth now. āThisā¦ itās always been likeā¦. Like a series of checkpoints. Boxes to check, yāknow? Kiss you, take your clothes off, make you come, fuck you, say goodnight. And I donāt wantā¦ I canāt let it be like that with you. I need this to beā¦ real. Not just some list to cross shit off of. I donātāā
Steve takes a long, shaky breath before he can ramble on anymore. Never has someone so thoroughly gotten under his skin. Heās never felt so insecure, so unsure. Itās terrifying. The most terrifying part of it all, though, is that he likes it. He loves the feeling of the unfamiliarity, of doing this right. In a way, itās almost like heās doing all of this for the first time all over again. Youāre his first date, first kiss, first time. All because heās changed so drastically, because heās not even remotely the same person he was just a year or two ago.
Your hands are so gentle as you cup his face, tenderly forcing his eyes to meet yours.
āSteveā¦ we donāt have to do this, not if youāre not ready. I want to be with you, not just for this, but for everything. Everything that comes with youā¦ thatās what I want. Thereās no pressure. I would wait a hundred years for you to be ready so long as I could still have you.ā
Steveās breath shakes a little as he comprehends the gravity of your words. Thereās nothing he can say that can properly convey the gratitude he holds for your words, so he says nothing at all.
In his silence, you continue. āYouāre more than a body, you know that, right? Youāre funny, and kind, and smart. Yes, smart, donāt look at me like that. Youāre everything Iāve ever wanted to be close to. I justā¦ I want to spend time with you. I want to watch stupid movies and eat diner food until we get sick and laugh at your stupid jokesā¦ and maybe make love with you, sure, but thatās pretty low on the list as long as I just get to be with you.ā
He doesnāt notice the tears until itās too lateāby the time youāre wiping them from the apples of his cheeks itās far too late to take them back or hide them. With anyone else, he would be angry; at himself, for allowing himself to be so vulnerable. For allowing himself to be so emotional. With you, thoughā¦ with you, his emotions make him feel strong.Ā
For the first time since you walked into his life, heās not scared of losing you.
āI love you,ā he tells you. His voice is firm, as fierce as the kiss he presses to your mouth, as powerful as the waves of emotion vibrating through his very soul. āI love you so much.ā
He barely gives you a chance to reply, as keen as he is on physically proving his love to you through myriad passionate kisses that leave you breathless. But when you finally get the chance to use your voice after a barrage of kisses that start to trail down your neck, you whisper, āI love you too.ā
Four words, and theyāre all he needs to quell every worry or fear heās had over doing this relationship properly with you. Why should he have to worry, after all, when heās already succeeded?Ā
āI love you,ā he whispers as he trails down your neck and to your chest, leaving tender love bites on the tops of your breasts once heās properly liberated you from your shirt.
āI love you,ā he mumbles through sucking a mark a few inches north of your navel.
āI love you,ā he murmurs when his lips meet your waistband. His fingers make quick work of your pants as he scatters kisses over your stomach, unable to part his mouth from your skin for even a moment.
āI love you,ā he affirms as his mouth meets your hot and waiting core.
Thereās no more checklist. Because this isnāt simply sex, as it always has been for him in the past. This is love-making: the kind of sappy shit they talk about in all those Hallmark movies that he rolls his eyes at the sight of. Itās like losing his virginity all over again.
He understands the old adage of āthe other halfā now. Youāve ripped him to shreds and sewed him back together with strands of yourself. The end result is better than the original ever couldāve even dreamed to be. Heās sure he couldnāt possibly live without you now, that losing you would be like ripping out fresh and unhealed stitches.
Youāre not sure how long he camps out between your trembling thighs, but itās long enough for you to lose count of the number of times he pulls you apartāfirst with his languid tongue; then his long, curved fingers; then a combination of the two. Itās like he loses himself completely in your pleasure, not a single thought in his head except what he can do to bring you to the edge again, and again, and again.
Youāre trembling with oversensitivity by the time his own needs overtakes his desperation to unravel you. So out of it that you feel drunk, like Steveās laced you with absolute bliss so pure you can barely stand it.
Youāre hardly present enough to appreciate the adonis before you when he finally undoes his own jeans, and thatās a damned shame because heās so damned pretty. Long and thick, flushed at the girthy tip from his hitherto unacknowledged arousal. His lean thighs are pure muscle, and the dark thatch of hair that trails south from his navel makes your mouth water. Heās everything you dreamed heād be and so much more.
āSteveā¦ā You donāt know what else you can possibly say. All you can do is vainly hope that one whine of his name can convey all of the heat, frustration, tension, and above all longing, swirling through your head in the moment.
He breaks from his lustful reverie for a moment to smile as he leans in for another heated kiss; you think itās safe to say youāve gotten your point across.
He slows from his mania for a few moments, lips tender as they explore against yours once more. These kisses are languid, slow, yet no less heated. Even now, heās trying to prove his love to you. As if you could somehow not believe him after everything thatās happened, every small moment youāve spent with him witnessing how hard heās trying for you.
Somewhere in between kisses he manages to wrestle a condom out of his nightstand, miraculously without ever breaking from your lips.
Now is where you cut in, finally fading out of your over-pleasured fugue and back to reality. You take the little foil packet from his hands and tear it open, eager for this small chance to finally get a hand or two on him.
He lets out the most gorgeous noise youāve ever heard as you roll the rubber down his length; a deep, earthy, diaphragmatic moan just from the simple touch of your hand. You want to touch him even more, to wrest out more of those sounds from him; to see what other undiscovered responses you can pull from him as you pleasure him. But you know that now, he needs to set the pace. He believes he has something to prove, and youāre more than happy to let him prove it. There will be plenty of other opportunities to have him completely at your mercy, anyway.
Thereās no way to describe the feeling as he slides into you. Itās more than bliss, more than euphoria, more than earth-shattering toe-curling mind-altering pleasure. Itās nothing more than feeling whole. Of never knowing you were missing a part of yourself until itās suddenly returned to you. Of never knowing what home felt like until this exact moment.
Maybe itās overdramatic. Maybe itās outlandish and outrageous and a million other adjectives to feel something so overpowering and overwhelming from such a seemingly simple physical act. But in this moment, you know youāve never felt anything as right as being connected to Steve in this way.
His lips hardly leave yours while he rolls his hips against you, easily finding the perfect angle to make your breath hitch and your hands scrabble for purpose.
It admittedly doesnāt last long, but it doesnāt have to. Once you start to tighten and pulse around him, heās a gonerādeep purposeful thrusts turning to hard, arrhythmic plunges in desperate search of release.
Youāre still shaking from your high when he slowly pulls out of you. He keeps you close, arms linked around your waist and dragging you to lay on his chest as he flops back against the pillows.Ā
Youāre not sure how long you lay like that, with Steve whispering sweet nothings into your hair and pressing absentminded kisses to your face. All you can really focus on is one all-consuming, life-changing fact.
āI love you, Steve Harrington.ā
āI love you too,ā he whispers back. He kisses you again, just a simple peck on your lips, and you know that heās telling the truth. Itās an eternal truth: one that canāt be changed or altered in any way. Steve Harrington loves you with every fibre of his being, and he will for the rest of his lifeāeven if youāre both blissfully unaware of it for now.

Hey it's good to write to you again šlove your sense of humour it always hype mešš
I just went to Yoongi's concert, I'm telling it's magical, loud and fun. What made me even more excited is because I was traveling with my friend whom we just renewed our friendship that was broken because of misunderstandings, I introduced her to bts and as we were watching their content she suddenly said she like jikook, and in my mind I thought she is talking about them in a platonic way so when she elaborated she said she can see when people are fucking each otheršš I laughed then I showed her your blog she's been reading it saying you are very bluntšš
Anyway few day after she came and asked me if taehyung used to date Jimin or if tae has a crush on Jimin because she noticed at times tae would look at Jimin's lips and all, I said I thought the same at first. Do you think v had a crush on Jimin, Is that why Jungkook when it comes to yoongi, Rm and tae he needs to clarify that it is friendship turning down every ship moment that can be made? Because I noticed he has no problem with Jimin or jihope moments but always with the others he interrupts them.
Aahh vmin vmin vmin- the ship that could if only they would
No one knows for sure what his thing was with Jimin. It was easier to label it as a crush for kicks and giggles back then. But as grown adults that they are now its a little bit š„“
I mean sometimes the members themselves do admit some of the things they do and say is a bit fruity š¤·š¾
With Jungkook isn't it double standards for him to feel the need to go out of his way to demystify Jimin's ships while his own ships hang in the gay balance?
Minimoni are friends he says but Namjoon and I are thirsting over eachother's bodies- boys scouts honor
Yoongi and Jimin are laughable he snorts but hey what's that in between Jins legs. time to jiggle jiggle
He's made not letting Jimin's ships breath his entire personality and instead of Jimin whooping his ass as he should he's 'oh Jungkookie" melting away at him
Not to say Jm enjoys it entirely cos clearly it gets a bit too much for him sometimesš„²
This 'double standards' is something I hear most teen same sex couples complain of so I find it interesting to see these things play out between them.
And it's definitely interesting how we the fans respond to this as well. We will praise Jungkook for being territorial but let Jimin exhibit a similar territorial streak and suddenly it's he's clingy, he's an attention seeker, and he acts like he owns Jungkook.
I'll take it a notch further and analyze this in light of Tae's reaction to this territorial behavior in both of them. If Jungkook acts territorial over Jimin with Tae, Tae backs away, acts like he's gonna cry most times and only puts up a fight on few occasions but should JM try to be territorial over Jungkook, Tae would square up with him more often than notš„“
Then there's Namjoon who used to back down and show some respect for the Maknae's feelings- and then suddenly doesn't care anymore. He legit said,
I digress.
Sigh. Am I the only one missing Jin? Where's that one Taejin shipper please send me Taejin gifsšššš
Tae can be intense and he's able to connect to people and things on a very deep emotional almost spiritual level. When he was young he used to desire this same level of intensity from the people around him often leading to him coming across as not having emotional boundaries. I don't know much about him personally, but I can deduce from certain things he says and does that he used to get this thrown in his face a lot.
This lack of emotional boundaries is what is often misconstrued as a crush by some of us.
But I think he just wants to hold hands on the pier with Jimin and discuss their deep deep affections for one another while the sun gradually set over the water
It doesn't make them gay- may be lesbians for sure but not gayš
And while Jimin equally wants a friendship like that and so reciprocate with Tae- he better not try that shit on Jungkook.
You're gonna caress Jungkook's hands in the dime light, over soft music, while whispering to him how much emotionally attached you are to him- better be prepared to have his children while you're at it
So to answer your question, I think Jungkook knows the difference between what's an unconventional quirky friendship and what's blatantly Gay.
And most of the time when he's reacting to these scenarios he's simply expressing his discomfort with the latter.
The day Jungkook goes cross eyed on Vmin is the day you know for sure those two are crossing some serious boundaries Friends shouldn't cross. Other than that I don't think he minds- nor should he.
The only reason he should be worried at all would be if Jimin is emotionally bonding with Tae and not JK. As it stands, that's not the case.
Minimoni are not Vmin. They are not the quirky unconventional same sex friends that Vmin are. So yea, if they start touching up on eachother and if Namjoon- NAMJOON- KIM NAMJOON- starts flirting and flashing dimples at Jimin he has every reason to be worried. I TOO WILL BE UNCOMFORTABLE AND I'M NOT EVEN DATING JIMIN.
THIS KIM NAMJOON????
Smart intelligent successful TALL KIM NAMJOON?
Look, Jungkook is even better than me. I wouldn't let my girlfriend be friends with a KIM NAMJOON. Are you kidding?! I would follow them everywhere and put surveillance on them. Reinforce social distancing rules. 5 ft apart always and never alone in one room.
You think ill let my girlfriend be friends with an Rm, Yoongi, Jk you're mad. And then they'll just tell you casually, hey babe i'm gonna hang out at Rm's place- eh? Excuse me?! PARDON!
Hanging out doing what exactly cos I know yall be not talking about your feelings with them. PRAY TELL WHAT EXACTLY YALL BE HANGING OUT FOR?
I mean I'm not threatened by Yoongi per se but Agust D? Child no. No. No no no no no. NO.
Personally I don't think Jimin is in any way romantically interested in anyone in BTS other than Jk. I will fight him on this if he denies itš¤§
But doesn't mean certain people in the band don't- sexually excite him beside JK. He's a rather healthy young adventurous spirited gentleman - with raging fiery hormones JK tries to keep under control
*Insert JK screaming I DO NOT APPROVE OF THIS LEVEL OF HOTTNESSš¤£
If your boyfriend had sexy sultry eyes and a Jawline that looks straight out of a hentai anime imagining you would want to police him around too.
And look, Daddy is not wood.
Sticks and stones may break his bones but dare I say, tall chiseled 8 inch biggo excites himš
I suppose curvy wide hips big booty breastina does it for him tooššššš
I think he finds Namjoon and Jk's physique ideal and attractive as men. And if he's dating Jk then I see how that would be a problem for Jk.
For Suga, I think it's more of how Suga treats Jimin. He treats JM like someone would treat someone they loved. Jimin admires Suga a lot. For his intellect, for his passion- JM has a tattoo of Suga's words on his body. Let that sink in and then put yourself in JK's shoes.
Jimin may be evasive but when he admires someone he praises them a lot. He praises their physique ifm he finds that ideal or attractive or intellect if he admires their ingenuity. He keeps praising and admiring JK. He keeps admiring Namjoon for more than his physique- come to think of it he's shown considerable admiration for Suga, RM and Jk more so than the others.
The only time I've seen him admire V in any way sus is when he said Tae has a huge shlong. I suppose that's enough reason for anyone to Stan Vš If I hadn't seen it myself I would have said my man's exaggerating but that thing is humongousšššš
Moving on from V's shlong,
Between V and Jimin I frankly don't recall who influenced who. We know Jimin today to be the most emotionally vulnerable one who's able to connect emotionally with others but if memory serves me right, that used to be Vš¤
He's the one most of the members felt emotionally honest with and comfortable with and the one they seem to suggest helped them gain confidence to be themselves emotionally.
I don't know. Sometimes I feel JM and V are the same person. Different sides of the same coin. Their soul mate shtick makes sense to me.
Talking of soulmates, I find it interesting Tae Talking about twin flames in his new song May be. He said he would release it in 10yrs but I'm itching to hear the whole thing NOW. A. It's a really deep good song. The lyrics are fire, the genre is on point
You told me you are my twin flame, Our colors shimmer the same, when the world is cold in the winter, we'll melt each other away.
I have to praise him for the emotional depth most of his sings have- it's everything I desire in a song. A song that speaks to the human condition and evoke such strong emotions and is very soulful. Bravo mate.
But isn't it interesting how he's switched from soulmate to twin flames and yet still evoke the same imageries of the moon the way he's done when writing songs inspired by Jimin?
Not only is his dick massive his voice is massive tooš
Sorry what was your question?
Ah, JK interrupting JMs ships.
I don't know what to tell ya. He's a haterš¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
You should watch him finding all the excuses in the world as to why JM shouldn't collaborate with the members on a song but somehow had no objection when JM said he'd make a song with himšššš
You know when he was younger and he was asked whom he would entrust his sister to out of the group he chose himself? He couldn't chose anyone even when most of them chose Jiminļæ½ļæ½
That was his sister. Now imagine his partner š¤£
There's no over analyzing this. I think it's just his personality. And he's been consistent with it. Remember the Perilla leaf debate?
Personally I think some members deliberately avoided answering the question- or answered it the way they did bcos of Jungkook šššššššš¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
When Tae said let's take turns I knew Jk was gonna throw a bomb and Jimin was gonna stutter šššš
And of course Namjoon and Suga will say they don't care- of course š
Cos if they did care then Jungkook would be vindicated won't heš¤£
Ahhh Jimin- JM and his tiny, but why should it even matter if you're eating how would you even notice these things š„ŗš„ŗš„ŗš„ŗ
Boy's been traumatized straddling the line between the hyungs and the Maknae trying to explain to JK relax we are not flirting, relax he grabbed my balls don't mean I'm cheating. Meanwhile all JK seeing is them walking down the aisle in rainbow suitsš¤§
If everything we've been screaming on ship street wasn't making things clear, it's obvious from this clip alone the diverse views on boundaries that exist in the group.
It's clear, as I've been saying, JK has boundaries. Boundaries some members think is childish and ridiculous and so do not respect or adhere to which used to be a major cause of tensions within the group.
And for Tae to point out in support of Jungkook that sharing a chopstick or whatever those Perilla leaves were meant to signify was a sign of crossing boundaries should answer my question about him backing down when JK instills boundaries over JM with him but not so much when JM tries to instill boundaries with him.
It's double standard on Jms part and Tae is not the one. Do unto Jk what you want done unto you. If you think JK is childish for trying to instil boundaries with your friends what gives you the right to instill boundaries over JKs friends? Gotta love him. He's a no nonsense sort of person.
Now, we also understand why Namjoon stopped respecting JK's boundaries. It goes both ways.
When I tell you BTS has more drama and is better than the Kardashians whewš¤
Jungkook was the most gaslit member of the group. They constantly made him out to be this unreasonable possessive dude who couldn't keep his relationship a secret. Personally, I don't think a person's boundaries have to be negotiable. It's not something you negotiate on with them. And ridiculing them and calling their boundaries unreasonable and childish speaks to your own inability to take no for an answer which is generally toxic.
It's a good thing JM made his emancipation proclamation himself cos JKV and I were gonna have to break him free from the mold.
Okay bye I'm gonna watch it and akeke to myself again
Oh wait, your friend. I should say something nice- ho ho ho ho ha ha ha ha may the force be with youš
