one of the known, undisputed rules of riding in steve harrington's car: passenger seat gets music privileges.

if you brought your own tape, and won the usually vicious battle for shotgun, there was a 100% chance that the drive would be backed with music of your choice. hell, there was even a small collection growing in steve's glove box of music that wasn’t his, because people left them behind either on accident or on purpose. no one really knew what steve liked to listen to- maybe minus robin- but he always seemed happy with whatever the passenger put in.

until one day, when dustin and lucas and mike climbed into his car. dustin had won passenger seat privileges, after a rather tense game of rock, paper, scissors, and instantly reached for the tape player.

steve smacked his hand down. "paws off, henderson." he scolded, not unkindly. all three kids stared at him like he'd grown a third limb as he pulled out of the wheeler's driveway. electric guitar played at a semi-low volume.

"what the hell?!" dustin squawked. "why can't i change the tape?" steve rolled his eyes, fingers tapping along to the rhythm of the beat on the wheel. none of the kids recognised the song, and it certainly didn't seem the kind of thing steve harrington would willingly listen to.

"is it so surprising i want to listen to my own tape in my car?" steve asks. dustin shouts an affronted, 'YES!' to which steve just shakes his head and continues driving.

the man on the track sings over heavy drums and guitar, talking about how he needed someone to 'show me the things that make true happiness' and 'he must be blind.' then, there's a guitar solo that steve smiles at.

"who are you?" mike asked, suspicious. "what did you do with our steve?"

"oh, shut up, wheeler." steve meets his eye in the rearview mirror. "next one to complain loses tape privileges for their next three turns."

that does shut them up. they make idle conversation over a couple more songs before they pull up to their destination. mostly threatening each other over high scores and making bets. steve waves them off with the usual 'don't be stupid' lecture and pulls out of the arcade parking lot, the bass of whatever the next track had been audible even through his closed doors and windows.

after that, steve retains ownership of his stereo every now and then, always playing some form of heavy metal. it just becomes the norm, though never fails to confound whoever's in the car. (because, seriously? polo shirt wearing steve harrington and heavy metal?)

they only ever hear anyone else listen to it after they join hellfire. eddie invites them to his trailer to create their characters together, and when they walk in one of the songs from that dumb tape is playing from a record in the corner.

"woah! you like this music too?" lucas asks. eddie nods excitedly.

"yeah, man! you a fan?" his smile dims a little when lucas shakes his head, but dustin is quick to jump in.

"our friend steve is always listening to a dumb mixtape with this sorta stuff on it." he explains, missing how eddie's eyes light up and his smile turns a little bashful. "he used to let us play whatever we want, but ever since he got that tape he makes us listen to it sometimes when he drives us around."

"well," eddie sighs, fiddling with one of his chunky silver rings. "seems this steve knows someone with very good taste in music." there's a warm look in his eyes before he claps his hands and diverts their attention to the character sheets he printed out.

later that night, steve gets a call.

"you told me you only listened to that tape once." the voice on the other end drawls. it's low and teasing, but it's undercut with obvious wonder and fondness. steve doesn't even bother pretending to be confused.

"well, it's good." (it makes me think of you) he replies, like it pains him. eddie giggles, and steve eyes the tape in question. sat on his bedside table, 'for my stevie' scrawled across it in eddie's neatest handwriting. shitty little hearts drawn around his name and an even shittier skull at the end. "how'd you know?"

"recognised my mötörhead record." eddie coos, "told me how you revoke their music privileges to listen to it." a pause. "you're so fucking cute."

steve can't help the dorky smile that spreads over his face. the way he twirls the phone cord like a fucking lovesick loser. he cracks a joke about making eddie a mixtape featuring the likes of duran duran and tears for fears, which makes him fake retch. they chat for a little while longer, whispering 'i love you's through the phones like it was their first time saying it.

the tape stays firmly in the bmw's music rotation.

Tag meme... thing

This like never happens but I’m procrastinating right now so hi, I’m doing the thing IG. Thanks @tenacioussheepalpaca for tagging me!

How tall are you? 5′5 ish, which means I’m still ‘short’ but I can lean on a lot of people

What color are your eyes? It really depends on the lighting, I’d usually say green (if I look in a mirror) but they look kinda grey sometimes (mostly in photos)

You be the judge idk (may have thrown in the last one to show off about my eyeliner skill)

Do you wear contacts and/or glasses? I do have glasses (short sighted), but I only really bother to wear them at cinemas and stuff. My sight doesn’t give me too much issue.

Do you wear braces? Nah, and I never have.

What is your fashion style? If Dan Howell was poor. For real though, it’s usually monotone or just pure black. Leather jackets, grey trainers, low cut top to display the one asset I have etc. There’s usually at least one or two items of anime merch, whether it’s socks, my hat, flat out cosplay...

How old are you? 18, though I rarely the act like it.

Do you have any siblings? I actually have four sisters (only one related by blood though), and I love them all.

What school/college do you go to? Currently, I don’t, because I had no idea what I wanted to be come graduating. However, I sorted my shit out, and I’ll be studying for a Japanese degree at University of Leeds come this September.

What kind of student are you? That annoying kid who puts in zero effort throughout the entire school year, writes fanfic in lessons, never hands in essays - and yet knocks it out the last few weeks to literally get the top grade in the year anyway. Other than that, basically always the one with the hand up READY for lesson contribution.

What are your favorite subjects? In school my favourite was Spanish, but that was because we literally had the BEST teacher ever, she was super cool and motivating. Although I didn’t continue with the subject, I AM doing a language degree, so... success? My actual favourite in terms of content would be English though, mainly because it had plenty of opportunity for analysis, debate, and discussion.

What are your favorite movies? I always find this kind of question hard to answer, I’d probably say The Kingsman because it does comedy right, the typical animated classics (*cough* Mulan), musicals, nerdy shit like Star Wars and LOTR. Chronicles of Narnia are my favourite Christmas movies.

What are your favorite pastimes? Other than procrastinating my life away with random youtube videos? And, the obvious, writing? Probably researching cool shit, puzzles, strategy video games. I just really like learning stuff. Definitely music.

Do you have any regrets? Aside from every time I’ve been drunk, most of my regrets are people based. Like, I appreciate you learn a lot from every person you interact with, but there are a few people out there I wish I could undo all time and effort put into, people who really didn’t deserve that level of love and faith from me.

What is your dream job? I’m still not sure. Right now, I want to translate anime (because I bitch about translations I disagree with all the time honestly). I’m not settled on it though, I might go into something more diplomacy based (Interpreting etc.).

Would you like to get married? I’m one of those bitter ‘marriage is just a piece of paper’ people. Basically, I don’t think it’s necessary to live a happy and fulfilling life, but if any future partner wanted to get married, I’d happily go for it.

Do you want kids? how many? Not sure. I love kids, but writing 100k words of pregnancy drama fanfic (plus the 4k word birth chapter) has kind of put me off the idea :’) If I don’t end up having any of my own, I’ll definitely foster or adopt some.

How many countries have you visited? All of the UK minus Northern Ireland, the UAE, France, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Greece. I’m desperate to go to more, though.

What was your scariest dream? When I was five or something, I used to have a recurring nightmare. Nothing happened exactly, I used to just get out of bed and walk towards the bedroom door, and wake up before I got there. The ominous doom of whatever was on the other side used to freak me out, honestly.

Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other? Nope. Whenever people try I tend to freak out and reject them :’)

Put your playlist on shuffle and without skipping list the first 15 songs

Ho Hey - The Lumineers Battle Cry - Imagine Dragons (great writing music btw) Paranoid - Black Sabbath Black Magic - Little Mix Guren No Yumiya - Linked Horizon (aka Attack On Titan OP 1) In The Hall Of The Mountain King - Grieg (classical piece, that Halloween sounding one that Alton Towers use as a theme tune) Chapel of Love - The Dixie Cups Who Do You Love - Marianas Trench Ready To Go - Panic! At The Disco Nearly Witches - Panic! At The Disco (best song on Vices and Virtues fight me) 21 Guns - Green Day All The Boys - Panic! At The Disco National Anthem - Lana Del Rey Disorder - Joy Division Sweater Weather - The Neighbourhood

(I hooked you all up with youtube links)

I don’t really have that many people to tag, so I’m leaving it open to all my followers to do this! If you see this from my blog, please let me know, I love reading this kind of thing about people :D

#personal #tag meme #I tried #my music taste is weird #naturally there was a lot of panic
