so when i talked about steve getting glasses later on in his 20′s... guys it’s not a joke anymore.

‘ you ever get lonely, even when you’re around people? ’ / from max!

@lifetorn |  RAW LINES. 

oh god, the kid was asking him that kind of question. something like those indirect inquires that slips out in hopes of finding an answer that a pair could mutually relate on. luckily, his advice skills have improved over the years — so he likes to think — and he won't butcher this girl's brain with terrible conversation.

"lonely?" eyes glance up to her from his seat, brows twisting in puzzlement. max was smart, one of the most mature out of any of the babysitters club crew he had going on. he hated having a glimpse of knowing to why she was that way. no kid should have to deal with growing up this fast. making up an excuse of an answer wasn't going to benefit her here.

"honestly? yeah. all the time." he speaks softly with a light laugh to follow. eyes shift away before he continues. "that was me throughout most of high school. i had everybody all over me, all the girls any guy could ever want, you name it. just a crock of shit." lips purse together. "even now, it can still... get that way."

[outcastkiing]

wait hang on, i’m just thinking about that fact that steve said he actually took robin’s advice of just being himself and how much better he feels after that? he was just so lost in season two - season three among people and socializing with them. his image of himself was going on an on going track downward. and then meeting robin? actually improving his mental health? their friendship, your honor.

[outcastkiing]

pretty himbo boy.

❛ you’re not a very convincing liar. ❜

shoes shuffle together as he stand there, eyes taking a glance over to the kids chittering among each other. sooner or later, he isn’t even focused on the group and is merely staring off. this comes right after a quick answer to eddie asking about him. arms are folded over his chest, letting a flabbergasted huff out when the other speaks again. “me? not a convincing liar?” steve puts on his best nonchalant tone  ― that only ends up being laced with too much defense.

the habit was formed and it was a tough one to crack; it wasn't one he was in any rush to crack, that is. besides; how many people actually want a real answer when asking how someone is? he didn’t know many. "i don't have to be a convincing liar if i'm not lying." words come out with a scoff, brows now furrowed. he swallows heavily, pausing a moment before his head turns to look eddie in the face.

“i’ll say it again: i’m fine. i’m just tired.” steve’s eyes are still threatening to wonder away from the other man; head not fully there. small hints that were noticeable to anybody who cared or knew to look close enough; only further proving eddie’s point.

you better believe nancy using the word “bullshit” the night she broke up with steve still haunts him years later. he’s internalized that so much into himself, along with his belief that he isn’t sure if he’ll ever be a good enough boyfriend to anybody. not to mention the paranoia he has about getting into another relationship and worrying if the person is only staying with him for the sake of having a relationship and not truly feeling anything real for him; like nancy pretty much confirmed to his face was the case. so yes, she very much left him with a lot of trauma surrounding relationships and trust issues with it and how one day someone could wake up and completely change their mind about him on the drop of a dime.

@nofinalgirl​  |  4 - 6! (closed starter)

the lasting effects of everything from the last few years wasn’t something he could easily talk about, not even with those who knew. or the one who was with him that night. the night that mirrored too much like the grievance shown in the film jackie told him to watch. having sex while someone was dying. it happening at his own house. how much that effected the last proper girlfriend he had. to say he spaced out for a long while after the movie ended, was a bit of an understatement. 

a sigh left his lips as forearms meet the counter, eyes giving her full attention.

“hey, i actually did watch the movie, you know. that wasn’t why i didn’t call.” it had to be that night of all nights, didn’t it? steve couldn’t just tell that to this girl he was trying to work magic on impressing. he really was a hypocrite ― telling robin to stop trying to act like someone she wasn’t and be herself to her own crush. it proved difficult; getting it through his head that there were people out there that could accept him. heavy heart and all.

“something came up. that sounds bullshit, i know.” he must have hit a strike of luck during their first encounter, because there was no way in his mind he wasn’t totally blowing it now. “...was the steve guy getting stabbed like, some long winded way of saying you’re super not into me? or is it like some... thing?”
