I have a request for steve S5 vol 2 and dustins sister reader.
So when Dustin and Steve are in the lab in the upside down and Dustin bugs Steve again about having feelings for Nancy, Steve does not just deny them but in his rage he admits that he is in love with Dustins sister and she overhears it. So when they are all getting ready for the final fight in episode 7 she pulls steve aside and kisses him before confessing her feelings. Saying she had to get it out before their final battle.
Hi, anon đ I love this request so much! I actually don't think I've ever written a Henderson!reader x Steve fic before, which feels like a crime! I absolutely love this pairing.
I hope you enjoy, and, as always, please show love and support! â€ïžâš

âDustin, I sincerely hope youâre right about this place,â you said as you entered the lab. âItâs insanely creepy in here.â
âWill you just shut up and trust me?â Dustin spat.
âDustin, man sheâs got a point,â Steve said firmly. âWeâre just following you in here on some random idea of yours with almost no explanation. And direct your sucky personality at me, will you? Your sister hasnât done anything.â
You, Dustin, Steve, and Nancy had gone to the Hawkins Lab in the Upside Down in hopes of finding some answers about it. Dustin was leading the way, despite being increasingly irritable. You looked over at Nancy, who gave a shrug and sighed. The entire time, you two had been dealing with Dustin and Steveâs constant bickering.
âWhatever, letâs just make a plan,â Dustin said, not even looking at Steve. âSorry,â he said half-sincerely to you.Â
âWell, how about Nancy and I go up and you and Steve go down?â you suggested.
âDo you mind if we switch up the groups?â Steve said. âI need some distance.â
âWhat kind of distance?â Dustin interrupted. âMore distance from me or less distance from Nancy?â
âMore distance from you,â Steve snapped. âIâm tired of your attitude.â
âSame with yours,â Dustin said.
âWell, look at that, weâre finally agreeing on something!â Steve yelled.Â
âCalm down, calm down!â Nancy yelled. âLetâs just stick with our original groups and get to work,â she said impatiently. âY/N and I are going up, you two go down.â
âWill you be able to manage, loverboy?â Dustin said, glaring at Steve, who glared right back.
As you and Nancy walked up the stairs, you could see Dustin and Steve shove each other a bit, bickering quietly. You sighed and looked over at Nancy.
âDonât worry about them, Y/N, they always figure it out,â she reassured.
âTheyâve never fought like this,â you said quietly.
âTheyâre best friends, theyâll sort it out eventually,â Nancy said. âThisâll be good for them, and even better for us âcause we donât have to hear them complaining,â she chuckled, making you laugh as well.
âWe can only hope, Nance,â you said, shaking your head.Â
âNancy, are you sure about this?â you asked. You and Nancy had found the shield, and she was ready to shoot it.
âPositive,â she said confidently, but quickly saw your face. âYou want to check with him, donât you?â
âDustinâs the smartest kid I know, and something just doesnât feel right,â you said. âIâm sorry, Nance, but I think we need to triple check.â
âThatâs fine! Iâll monitor the situation, and you keep me posted on our walkies.â
You made your way down the stairs, unfortunately led by the sound of Dustin and Steve bickering. You sighed, ready to break it up, but you paused when you heard them clearly.
âYou just had to be with Nancy, didnât you?â Dustin yelled. âThatâs all you ever think about! You never think about anyone else besides yourself! Have you ever stopped to think about what she wants? How Johnathan feels seeing you go after her like some pathetic puppy?â
âWill you shut up, Henderson?â Steve yelled. âI swear, youâre so dumb! Everyoneâs always saying âOh, Dustinâs so smart, Dustinâs a genius, Dustinâs the best!â but you know what, buddy? Youâve been oblivious to whatâs been in front of your stupid face the whole time!â
âAnd whatâs that?â Dustin yelled back, getting close to Steveâs face.
âThat itâs never been about Nancy!â
âIt never has because you know why, Henderson?â
âBecause Iâm in love with your sister, Einstein!â
You tried to mask your gasp as your heart leapt in your chest. You breathed out a soft sigh, your feelings muddling together, trying to navigate your anger with the boys and Steveâs unexpected confession. You crept up the stairs then walked back down, banging a bit on the steps as you made your way down to make your presence obvious. As you entered the room, Dustin and Steve were apart, but their chests were still heaving from their argument.Â
âHey, um, Nancy and I found something,â you said awkwardly.Â
âGreat, what is it?â Steve said, breathing shallowly.Â
âUm, we donât really know,â you continued. âWe wanted you to take a look, Dustin.â
âIs it a dome in the sky?â Dustin asked, making your eyes widen.
âYes!â you exclaimed. âDo you know what it is?â
âUnfortunately, I do,â Dustin said, lifting a journal. âPlease tell me you didnât do anything to it,â he said desperately.
âNo, Nancy was going to shoot it, but I wanted to check with you first,â you explained.
âOh, thank God!â Dustin said in relief.
âYeah, at least one Henderson has a brain,â Steve half-mumbled. âShow us, Y/N.â
As you led the boys upstairs, your mind was going in circles trying to make sense of what you had just heard. Steve had never shown you obvious signs that he liked you, or loved you for that matter. To be honest, you had always thought the same way Dustin did--that Nancy would always be Steveâs first and only love, maybe even his soulmate, if those existed. Sure, you and Steve spent time together and always enjoyed each otherâs company, but he never gave any sign of it being more than platonic. But then again, had he? You wracked your brain, trying to figure out how you felt about the situation, about Steve.
Suddenly, memories flooded in as you reminisced about how Steve was when you were both in elementary school. You two would take turns pushing each other on the swings, then you taught him how to pump so you could swing together. You would gather wildflowers out on the playground and put a few in his hair. One day, he asked you to be his girlfriend forever, and you accepted.Â
In middle school, when everyone was getting a date to the dance, you felt hopeless until Steve stopped by your house with your favorite candy and asked if youâd go with him. That night, you both had your first slow dance and first kiss. It was the most magical moment of your life, and after you went home, you dreamt that it would change everything, but it never did. You were still friends, but it was always just that--friends.Â
In high school, it felt like you had lost Steve forever. Suddenly, Nancy Wheeler was the object of his affection, and all those late-night talks over pizza and soda when no one cared what the other looked like were gone. Now, Steve couldnât come over because he had a date. Even after he and Nancy broke up, he didnât exactly come back to you. He chose Dustin--not that you minded, Dustin needed a friend, but you had always suppressed jealousy. Whenever Steve came over to the house, youâd answer the door and be overjoyed to see him, but it was always to pick up Dustin, not you.Â
âY/N? You okay?â Steve asked, snapping you out of your thoughts.
âWhat? Yeah, sorry,â you said quickly, trying to act casual. Steve looked at you closely, examining your expression.
âIâm fine, really,â you insisted.
âYou know, I donât believe you,â Steve said, then leaned in close. âI know you better than that,â he whispered, then winked at you.Â
âYou sure do,â you said to yourself. Steve frowned in confusion and looked at you. He hadnât looked at you like that in a while, and you could have sworn he blushed a bit, but you talked yourself out of it.
âAlright, everyone get ready. This is it,â Hopper said.Â
Everyone was preparing for the final battle, gearing up, making final plans, everything. You were prepping some things with Robin, but your mind was elsewhere, reeling from what you heard in the lab.Â
âYouâre distracted,â Robin said quietly with a smile.
âSorry,â you breathed. You looked up at Steve and sighed. You shook your head and tried to focus back on your work. Robin had followed your gaze and looked at Steve. She chuckled softly then looked back at you.
âY/N,â she said knowingly. âYou should go for it.â
âWhat are you talking about?â you chuckled, trying to play dumb.Â
âYou. Steve. Staring at each other. All the time,â Robin said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
âI donât stare at him!â you defended. âAnd he certainly doesnât stare at me.â
âOh, okay, sure, Y/N,â Robin laughed. âThat man can hardly take his eyes off of you. And you do stare at him. A lot,â she said, eyebrows raised. âItâs actually a miracle you two never look at each other at the same time.â
âI donât know, Rob-â
âYes, you do, Y/N/N. Youâre just scared. And thatâs okay, for the record,â she said, taking your hand, âbut if there was any time to take a risk, nowâs sort of the best time to take one.â She squinted a bit as she smiled, and you nodded slowly. You took a deep breath, and Robin patted your hand encouragingly.Â
You walked over to Steve, who was talking to Dustin. They seemed happy again, and you smiled softly. You tried not to ruin the moment, but they both noticed you.
âHey, whatâs up?â Dustin asked.Â
âI, um, I actually need to talk to Steve,â you said awkwardly.
âOh, okay,â Dustin said as he shrugged. As he walked away, Steve looked at you nervously and shoved his hands in his pockets.
âListen, Y/N, I wanted to apologize to you,â he started. âIâve been a real jerk to your brother, and itâs just because Iâve been jealous,â he admitted.
âDonât worry about it,â you said, touching his arm. âYouâve always been a true friend to him, and I appreciate that. Besides, I know a thing or two about jealousy,â you said quietly.
âAw, come on, Y/N/N, youâll always be my number one Henderson,â Steve smiled, grabbing your hand and holding it.
âItâs not Dustin Iâm jealous of,â you half-whispered. Steve tipped his head to the side and looked at you in confusion.
âThen who?â he asked.
âItâs⊠complicated-â you started.
âIâm listening,â Steve said softly.
âItâs ridiculous, I shouldnât-â
âY/N, please,â Steve said, holding both of your hands now, pulling you closer. âI want to know whatâs on your mind.âÂ
Steve looked deeply into your eyes, and you felt your heart beat quicker. Between his secret confession and the current look in his eyes, you felt overwhelmed with emotion. Suddenly, you had your Steve back. You opened your mouth to say something, but your impulses took over, and you broke your hands away from his to hold his face, and you reached up and kissed him, your hands feeling his warm cheeks. He kissed you back, his hand going up to hold one of your cheeks. You felt a tear run down your cheek, but you didnât know if it was yours or his. As you broke away, Steveâs brow was furrowed, but he had an undeniable look of love on his face.
âY/N,â he said tenderly. âI-wow,â he breathed as he smiled wide.
âI heard you talking to Dustin when we were in the lab,â you admitted, and Steveâs eyebrows raised in shock. âAnd I feel the same, Steve. I was so stupid, I was hung up on you and Nancy. But I love you, Steve. I have for a long time. And if we make it out of this alive, Iâm totally taking you on a date,â you giggled, and Steve laughed as well.
âWow,â he laughed, shaking his head. âI canât believe it. I love you too, Y/N/N, a lot actually,â he smiled. âSince you used to put wildflowers in my hair. I meant it when I asked you to be my girlfriend forever, you know.â
âWell, whatâs taken you so long to ask me again, then?â you smirked.
âI guess Hendersonâs right,â Steve shrugged as he chuckled. âI can be pretty stupid sometimes.âÂ
âI think youâre pretty smart, for what itâs worth,â you smiled, kissing him again. âI donât think my brother couldâve come up with that plan, but I think your best plan was back on that playgroundâ you whispered, giggling.Â
âAgreed,â he said, kissing you again.Â
