❝ i won’t leave, i promise. ❞

~~🥷~~ It was nice to hear --- but hard to believe. why would he stay anyway? Eddie didn"t owe steve anything, and he didn't want pity either. if the guy wanted to leave then he should just go...

"It's fine' man. you can go if you want to",

he was used to people leaving. one more wouldn't matter --- or that's what he liked to tell himself

( exhausted ) : too tired to stay standing, too stubborn to lie down / eddie

~~🥷~~ A sigh leaves steve's lips as he's still just sitting there, feeling like he was just a wall or an ornament to lean against --- because that's how eddie had been treating him for the past minutes; maybe half an hour, he didn't keep the time.

"Munson. you should really go to bed, man", and to add a little threat, "don't make me carry you"

You can’t do this alone, let me go with you.

~~🥷~~ Can't do this alone? he knew she didn't mean it that way --- but it came across as her telling him he couldn't do this. Why did no one ever have any trust in him?

"It's fine, Chrissy. i'm not as stupid as people seem to think i look"

❝Can you hear me?❞ - jonathan

~~🥷~~ It had been a while since Steve'd drunk himself into a stupor like this --- and he blamed it all on his old man. He wasn't there, but on the phone he could be just as much of a dick as in person.

He didn't even know what exactly it was that had made him start drinking...maybe it was everything. He was so tired of this man still trying to lead his life. he didn't have the right to.

So there he was now, lying on the floor completely blacked out, looking way too small in the big ass room. he'd never liked this place.

He didn't know how long he'd been out for, didn't know anything tbh, when he heard a voice...far away, but there. He tried to answer, but nothing more but some grunts and incoherent mumbles came from his lips, his eyes still shut closed

[text:] Oh I had the weirdest dream in which I was an archeologist stealing a golden dildo from a snobby British person (Tommy)

[ 📲-- > Tommy 👹 ] == > the only thing i got from that is golden dildo

"how many fingers am i holding up?"

~~🥷~~ As out of it as he still was, steve couldn't help but scoff and roll his eyes.

"Chrissy Cunningham, are you showing me the middlefinger?"

a cheeky grin appearing on his face, even if his face hurt.

hide .   hide now. (from Jonathan)

~~🥷~~ While his parents were in Hawkins, Steve had taken up Jonathan's offer to visit him in California. He just didn't want to be at the house when they were there. After yet another argument with his old man, he packed a bag and was on his way. On his way to what he hoped would be a relaxing weekend.

It had been a long ride with quite a few pit stops and music blasting from his speakers. Of course he'd been singing along too but no one needs to know that. Finally he had arrived.

What he hadn't expected, not that he was really expecting anything special --- but it definitely wasn't this... Being met by a slightly frantic looking Jonathan at the door, telling him to hide.

"Why?" he frowned, hands clutching his bag, trying to see what was going on, "What's happening? Did you do anything?"
