@bbs1t asked : 🧸 senders muse give receivers muse a giant teddy bear
steve knew — everyone knew —- that he was nancy’s first love . her first relationship . he showered her with love & affection , even when nancy’s cheeks flushed and she scolded him in a way that made it clear she really didn’t mind it . their first valentines day together was something nancy had been fretting over for weeks , unsure of what to do . karen was able to offer some level of comfort , soothing her nerves & helping her pick out a gift for steve . the watch she’d settled on was nice , and stylish despite not being very fancy . she wrapped it carefully , tied a white ribbon around the box for luck .
valentines day landed on a weekday , which meant nancy didn’t have to wait long to see steve . he pulled up to the wheeler home in the early morning , reliable as always in giving nance a ride to school . she scampers down the drive to his car , gift in hand , only to see that the passenger seat is already occupied . a surprised giggle bubbles from her lips as steve steps out of the car to greet her , a goofy , prideful smile on his face . after their kiss hello , arms wrapped around each other & so sweet it made her head spin , she immediately asks , amusement sparkling in her words , ‘ did you buckle him in ? ’
the teddy bear in her seat was practically as big as nancy . she could hardly fit her arms around it , and had no idea where it would sit in her room , but she was positively beaming as steve handed it to her . ‘ thank you , steve . he’s adorable . ’
