Steve Harrington x Henderson reader (I know!)

Summary: Steve fights Demogorgons with the kids, and Nancy. Bailing on Y/N one too many times, causing her to break up with him. Yearning, yearning, yearning and a lot of love.

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Chapter 13 Chapter 14 Chapter 15

You had no interest in what Steve Harrington did anymore. Being next to him made you feel as uncomfortable as it made you feel sad and you didn’t want to feel sad anymore.

A whole year had gone by since you had last talked to him. You also tried to avoid him completely, but that was just impossible.

The problem was, he was always running around with Dustin, or driving more likely. Stopping in front of your house with that red BMW, which he cared for with all his heart. So it wasn’t really up to you to not see him.

Whatever the reason to their close friendship was, you didn’t know. Not only because you weren’t dating Steve anymore, but more because Steve had never told you. Steve had decided that leaving you waiting for him on date nights, like waiting for him at the cinema or even just stopping your date altogether, was better than spending time with you. He also thought that not telling you the truth on where he was, was a good idea.

At first you understood. He had a job, he had responsibilities and there was no need to spend each and every single day together. You knew, he had somehow ended up protecting your brother and his friends after Will disappeared. Taking them home from school or to the arcade. You liked that about him. You really did. But when you found out that Nancy Wheeler was also spending time with the kids, it was over. Nancy was a nice girl. She even could have been your friend if she hadn’t dated Steve or if he had stopped spending time with them instead of you. But somehow, him not telling you he was spending time with Nancy Wheeler and pretending he just didn’t have time for you, was what hurt you the most.

Steve’s plans always seemed very fake. Sometimes he told you he had an extra shift, other times it was taking the kids to the arcade safely. And since everyone had been alarmed when Will Byers went missing, you couldn’t feel mad about him. It got to the point where you didn’t have a date in four weeks. And you were tired of his lies.

You found out one evening. You went into Dustin’s room to tell him dinner was ready, only to hear him talking to Steve through his walkie talkie. His walkie talkie, at that time, had become his best friend. He always had it with him and he was using it so much, he would ask you to get him spare batteries from the grocery every now and then. Hearing Steve on the other end was also a familiar accurence, but then hearing Nancy Wheeler talk about how she needed more „lights“ was another thing. And that was it for you.

„Shit, shit, shit.“ Your Brother immediately shut down the walkie talkie, stopping their conversation alltogether. He then, stood up from where he was sitting on his bed, Walkie Talkie thrown to the side and walked out of the door.

You just looked at him with a blank stare gesturing to the Walkie Talkie with one hand. „Was that Nancy Wheeler?“ you asked him, voice filled with anger. „Yes?“ he said quietly, smiling as much as he could to cover that he knew. He definitely knew.

The next day, Steve had picked you up for shool. Dustin was in the cars backseat, he looked nervous. He was fumbling with the straps of his backpack, which had suddenly caught all his attention.

„So,“ you said lightly, „Yesterday was dinner with your family!“ You looked at Dustins reaction through the mirror who still seemed to have all his concentration on that backpack.

„Yeah,“ Steve stiffened in his seat.

„Yeah,“ he started again, nervously, „That,“ he paused in between, „It was great!“ He looked at you shortly, giving you a smile that would’ve been convincing if you didn’t know him.

„How was the food?“ you bit through your teeth.

„Great, yeah great!“ he looked at you, eyebrows raised.

„What about Nancy,“ you asked, „did Nancy like dinner as well?“

Steve’s head whipped in your direction, surprise written on his face. And you looked away, starring out of the window for the rest of the drive. You swore you could hear a mumbled „shit“ from Dustin in the backest but you weren’t sure.

When Steve parked the car on the school’s parking lot, Dustin exited the car as soon as possible, backpack not on his shoulders but dragging it behind him. The car door closed shut with a loud thud, leaving you and Steve alone inside the car.

„Bye,“ he shouted over his shoulder hastily, already running towards the school’s entrance. Not looking back, he added: „See you later!“

By the time he was already opening the school’s double doors, you and Steve stepped out of the car as well. Without saying anything, you grabbed your chemistry folder, held it tightly under your arms and started heading to where Dustin vanished seconds prior.

„Whoa, whoa whoa Y/N,“ Steve’s hand grabbed your upper arm, making you halt and turning you towards him.

„Talk to me,“ he added with a quiet voice. But to his surprise, you didn’t. Instead, you stayed quiet, avoiding looking at him and only letting out an annoying huff.

Steve closed his eyes for a millisecond, before taking a deep breath. “Nancy was there yesterday.“ he admitted. When he noticed you didn’t answer, he added „But so was Jonathan, trust me!“ a second later.

It wasn’t that you didn’t want to believe him. But the last few weeks had been filled with half-explanations and lies, so you weren’t sure if trusting him was right.

„How can I, when all you do is find excuses?“ You raised a hand and let it fall to your side again. „You don’t trust me!“ you hissed after a pause.

And now he was the one staying quiet, looking at the ground, arms crossed, pressing to his chest.

„If you cannot tell me the truth…“ you stated, tears filling your eyes. „Maybe we should break up then,“ you cried out. The folder in your hands suddenly felt way to heavy, just like your heart.

And so you did the only thing which seemed right that moment. You turned around and went into the schools building. Steve didn’t stop you. Instead, he stood at the head of his car for way too long, wishing he could have told your the truth. What was really going on.

This was how you and steve broke up. Quiet, lonely, on a random schools day and the reason, why you didn’t want to spend time with Steve, ever again.

Steve Harrington x Henderson reader

Summary: Steve fights Demogorgons with the kids, and Nancy. Bailing on Y/N one too many times, causing her to break up with him. Yearning, yearning, yearning and a lot of love.

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Chapter 13 Chapter 14 Chapter 15

You graduated two weeks later and Steve and you had not shared a word since that day in the school’s parking lot. It seemed as though Steve was ignoring you just as much as you ignored him. Or maybe he just did exactly what he did, when you were together. You didn’t know.

You had Dustin give him all his belongings he had left at your house. It was ironic. You knew it also was a little embarrassing to let your little brother give him his belongings. But you didn’t, ever, want to talk to him again.

The thing’s you didn’t notice though, were Steve waiting outside of your classroom for a moment, wanting to talk to you. Wanting to tell you everything he had been hiding from you.

It wasn’t that Steve wanted to hurt you. And most importantly, he didn’t want to lie to you. But after he had been swept into fighting a monster in the Byers‘ house, he couldn’t bear to also let your life get ruined.

Steve wanted you to move away for collage as soon as possible, never hearing of Hawkins again. He wanted you to get successful in whatever career you chose to pursue. That’s why he decided not to follow you when you broke up. And that’s why Steve decided to pretend you never existed. Even though it hurt him like hell.

He didn’t lie because he was a bad guy. He lied because he loved you. That’s, at least, what he told himself each time he left just before your class ended. Just before you could see him standing there.

Graduating felt weird. Although graduating had been something you had been looking forward to, graduating alone wasn’t what you had wanted. Steve and you had plans for the time after High School. He had wanted to take a job while you had a few free months, until you would leave for collage.

It felt weird that those plans had been reason to work forward to and now they were just.. gone.

You always had thought of him to be at your side when getting the certificate. But things didn’t always turn out the way people thought they would. And so he was just another graduate beside you. Just not in the way you wanted him to.

Your summer, turned out, wasn’t going as planned as well. During the Holidays, Dustin went to summer camp. It’s what he always did, spending his summer in a camp and coming back smarter than he was before.

It wasn't until your brother came back, that Steve Harrington did appear everywhere. While Dustin was away, you had a great time avoiding him. Even everything which had to do with him. It was possible for you to go to the store without seeing him. And on top of that, you were able to stay at home without hearing Steve’s voice through a Walkie Talkie. Hell, you didn't even know if he still was in Hawkins. It felt good. You felt free. You weren’t reminded and that was good. You even thought that maybe, just maybe, you were over him.

But then, summer camp was over and Dustin came back. Indeed smarter than before but also even more eager to spend time with no other than Steve. It seemed as though, during Dustin’s summer camp vacation, their friendship had grown stronger. Wherever you were able to avoid Steve Harrington during summer, he now was!

He seemed to be everywhere. Even in your house you weren't safe, because Dustin still kept his Walkie Talkie with him. All the time!

You didn’t understand how their friendship had grown into this huge thing.

“Maybe they wrote letters while Dustin went to camp,“ you thought.

Whatever it was though, you were happy for Dustin. He really seemed to enjoy having an older friend.

While at dinner a few days ago, Dustin had enthusiastically told your mom about how great of a friend Steve was. And how cool it had been to visit him at his new job.

“He even gives out his free ice cream to me!“ He said proudly.

That’s how you found out why you didn’t see Steve all summer. Apparently, Steve had started working at an ice cream shop called “Scoops Ahoy“. The shop was one of the newest additions to the Star court Mall, which was a few minutes drive away from Hawkins.

But the point was that Dustin seemed happy. Genuinely happy. And since Will Byers had disappeared and then appeared again, him being happy meant everything. So you weren’t going to ruin that for him.

Though, you couldn’t help but feel a deep, aching pain, each time you saw your ex boyfriend.

Steve on the other hand, didn’t seem to feel the same thing. That’s at least how you observed it. Every time he picked up your brother, he seemed to not see you. As if he wasn’t trying to avoid you, but as if you just really weren’t someone he noticed anymore.

It was fine with you. After all, he had been the one who distanced himself. And at the same time, knowing you were irrelevant to him hurt like hell. Because, originally, you had been the one who wanted more time together, instead of none at all.

And then, after a few weeks, things began to feel more normal again. Or so you thought.

The Unopened Present

Steve Harrington x y/n reader

Your life had been changed drastically three weeks ago, when you decided to break up with your boyfriend.

Steve had somehow forgotten yet, again, another day you said you would spend together. This had happened more often now.

You knew where he was instead. Spending time with Dustin, Robin and worst of all, Nancy. Steve leaving you alone wasn’t the biggest problem. If he had important things to do he could’ve just told you. But Steve must have gone to be back together with Nancy.

And so when you conftronted him on what he was doing all the time and he couldn’t tell you, you broke up with him. It was easy as that.

The past few weeks you had tried to just move on and let things be. But there was this birthday present sitting on your countertop. It was meant for Dustin and just because you were angry at Steve you didn’t want to not give it to him. He had begged for a present. For that present especially.

You had wrapped it in blue, chemical themed wrapping paper. You really wanted to see his reaction.

And so you said for yourself, you would only go to Dustins house quickly. Bring the present and leave. Maybe he wouldn’t be there you thought. Dustin would be happy, which was what mattered. He had become like a little brother when Steve and he always spent their days together.

And so you went to Dustins house. It wasn’t a long way. Dustin lived just a few houses down the road. It was quiet in Hawkins, as it always was. but when you arrived at the front door you heard two loud voices in the garden. The quiet already forgotten. It was mumbling and cussing. You knew exactly who’s voice it was. Steves.

But now that you were there, there was no turning back. Right? You braced yourself, preparing yourself. And then you listened to their conversation firstly.

“It’s not a lizard you’ll see yourself man.” Dustin said, annoyed.

You crossed the garden, went around the corner. They were standing in front of the shed in Dustin’s garden, looking at it. The door was closed, they had closed and apparently also locked it.

“Hey.“ You said quietly. They both jumped around, looking at you in shock. Or at least it seemed like shock. „I brought you your birthday Gift Dustin” You held up the blue box.

„Y/N?“ Steve said, clearly confused as to why you were there.

„Thank you so much Y/N.“ Dustin smiled while already walking up to you. Dustin had known of the break up. Steve wasn’t able to shut up about it and Dustin was the one who had to listen. „I know Y/N is great Steve but she broke up.“ Was what he told Steve on a daily basis. It was tiring. Dustin liked the both of you. He would, always, chose Steve if it came down to it but you had somehow become like a sister to him. Or to them actually as Max was asking Steve non stop, about whether she should ask you to spend time with them again.

“No problem.” You added, pausing. “I thought you would still want it, even if we haven’t spoken in a while.” And while you were saying it, you looked at Steve. Shortly, just for a millisecond. It hurt.

“Of course I still want the present!” Dustin hugged you. Really hugged you, it nearly made you fall over. “You are welcome all the time Y/N.” Was what he whispered without Steve hearing.

And Steve just stood there. Didn’t say anything. Didn’t really look at you. Steve Harrington only seemed weirdly stressed. The same way he had looked when the two of you still were together. When he would try and come up with an excuse. A new half-explanation he could give you on why he wasn’t appearing on the dates.

“I just wanted to give it to you, I didn’t want to bother you.” You said while stepping back. “I’m sure you’ll like the present.”

But as you were about to turn around, walk right out of the garden, and go home, there was a loud noise. It echoed from behind of the garages metal door. Loud.

“It is here.” Steve said. That’s when you noticed that Dustin and Steve were frozen in place. Shocked, scared.

“That didn’t sound like a lizard.” Steve added eventually.

“I told you so.” Dustin added annoyed.

Steve Harrington x Henderson reader

Summary: Steve fights Demogorgons with the kids and Nancy. Bailing on Y/N one too many times, causing her to break up with him. Yearning, yearning, yearning and a lot of love.

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Chapter 13 Chapter 14 Chapter 15

You found out pretty soon, that they, indeed, did not drive to Mike Wheelers house. They drove further in the woods, until they were at the old garbage dump.

“What are you doing?” You stood in front of them. You had parked your car in the middle of the woods and followed them. They were now, standing where Steve parked his car, opening the trunk. Dustin had just taken a huge bin out of the car, when you spoke up. The bin slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground. Dustin looked shocked.

„Y/N why are you here?“ Steve turned around, surprised to see you. How on earth did you get here? Why were you here? You weren’t supposed to be here! He looked as surprised as your brother did.

„Shit“ Dustin explained, face palming himself. He looked as if he had made the biggest mistake of his life. Steve’s head turned to your little brother in a matter of seconds. Already shooting a glare at him. Max and Lucas were bickering about who got to walk first.

Dustin avoided looking at Steve closing his eyes dramatically while hissing out.

„She brought me to your house.“

„What?“ Steve shouted tightly, „Are you stupid?“ he looked from Dustin to you and back to your brother, glaring, eyebrows drawn together in anger. He was furious. Really angry. So Steve didn’t want you here either. Though you could’ve guessed that already. It hurt nonetheless.

“If you hadn’t been so preoccupied with that girl..“ Dustin said, stopping himself and looking at you.

So that was the reason Steve couldn’t pick up Dustin.

Steve stood there frozen, as if he had been shot. Now also looking at you, looking apologetic.

It hurt.

It stung. Though you weren’t going to talk to him about this. You broke up with him.

The truth was, Steve had taken Robin’s advice. „Just see another girl Steve.“ She had said when his flirting skills had, again, not worked at work earlier that day. And then he had seen Macy outside of the Mall. And he had asked her out. And they had went home. He really tried to get his mind off of you, but he couldn’t. And then Dustin had rung the bell and a part of him was angry. How was he going to get over you now? But on the other side he felt somewhat of relief. He didn’t have to spend time with her now.

„Just close the door when you leave.“ he had told her before leaving with dustin. He wanted to forget this had ever happened. Didn’t even want to tell Robin. She would only laugh about it. But now you knew. And that was worse than Robin knowing. Because she might’ve laughed, but you? He was sure you thought he didn’t love you.

„What is going on? Why are we in the woods?“ you asked them, wanting to know once for all.

Then you saw the bat with nails stuck to it in Steve’s car trunk. That thing was dangerous.

„Steve, what is that baseball thing? is that to kill someone?“ you asked now more confused than you were before. What where they doing here. In the middle of nowhere. In the dark? With weapons?

Steve didn’t look at you. Instead, he took the bat out of his car, closing the trunk with a loud thud which made you shiver. And then he said, with a quiet voice,

„Y/N leave please.“ he sounded like your Steve. Remaining calm and quiet, „Really you should leave.“ But it only reminded you that, your Steve, was long gone and that he had already moved on from what the two of you had.

„I won’t!“ you said.

„Stay in the bus if you won‘t leave.“ He said. He looked sad.

They had put meat on the grounds of the garbage dump. They looked stupid doing it.

And when they waited for that pray and nothing happened Steve went outside

„What are you all waiting for?“ You looked at Max, who was now looking out of the window, watching Steve‘s every move.

But she didnt answer.

„He is great!“ Dustin said eventually

„What is going on with you all?“ you asked them again, no one was answering. „If this is a prank then..“

But then you saw it, heard it. A human-like slimy thing. And Steve standing right in front of it. The thing must’ve been taller than him by a head or two. It looked weirdly like human and not like one at all.

Steve Harrington x Henderson reader

Summary: Steve fights Demogorgons with the kids, and Nancy. Bailing on Y/N one too many times, causing her to break up with him. Yearning, yearning, yearning and a lot of love.

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Chapter 13 Chapter 14 Chapter 15

Seeing and hearing Steve and his Voice, was something you were getting accustomed to. As long as you didn’t have to spend time with him, it was fine.

You wanted to spend the few free months after graduation simple. No chaos, no job, no responsibilities. In order to have that quiet break, you had saved enough money on your writing job you did for the library in school. This way you were able to spend your days reading books at the library and just living life.

Then Halloween came around. Your brother and his friends had „the best Halloween Costume Idea, ever!"

That's, at least, what they told you.

The four of them decided to all wear matching ghostbusters outfits. Dustin spent the whole evening talking about how great of a time they would have and how exited he was. He also went on rambling about how a red haired girl, named „mad Max“, went to school with them now.

It was very cute, hearing him talk about something that was going on in his life.

Since Dustin spent most of his time in the mall, he had stopped talking to you all together. Where he had been sitting on your bed, rambling about his school day before, he now went out with his friends. He spent his freetime eating ice cream all day and hanging out with Steve and Robin. You knew Robin a little. She had been in one of the classes you’ve had with Steve.

In school, Robin had always been a little too loud, a little too much, but also incredibly smart. Thinking of both of them working there, was something you couldn’t imagine. Robin and Steve were two complete different people.

„Smile some more Dusty!“ Your mom pleaded while trying to get Dustin to stand still. Before he left, your mom wanted to take photos of him and his costume. For photos, Dustin was always standing in your living room. Taking those “big moment” photos had become somewhat of a ritual. This time, he was posing with the costume, thumbs up, smiling as much as he could but the next moment, he was arranging the way the beige jacket fitted.

The photo session was cut short, when the doorbell rang. Dustin grabbed his proton pack and ran to the front door, where Jonathan Byers already waited for him.

„Hey young man, ready?“ Jonathan asked enthusiastically. He had promised to look after Will and his friends that evening.

You didn’t really know Jonathan. All you did know was that he had a huge interest in photography and liked to spend his time alone. In the last few weeks though, you had heard a rumour. He was supposedly often seen with Nancy Wheeler. This fact alone made no sense, as Jonathan and Nancy did not, at all, have the same interests. In no universe would they ever see each other. But then again, your brother and Steve Harrington had, somehow, become the bestest of friends. And from what Dustin told your mom during dinner, Robin also seemed to get along with him in some way. So, maybe everything was possible and life was full of surprises, you thought.

Dustin came back with his ghostbusters costume in the evening. They had collected sweets, although his bag was less full then the last few years. But there was something else pretty weird about your brother. Now, his costume was moving. You were sure it didn’t do that when he had left a few hours with Jonathan. When your mom asked him about the noise and the weird moving, he turned around from where he was standing in the doorway and smiled dramatically.

„Uh..“ pausing, he held up his Costume.

„ Look, I modified it.“ It immediately made a loud rattling sound and then, Dustin was laughing.

He was laughing so much, you thought it seemed fake. Maybe even panicked, but your mother didn’t seem to catch onto this because she laughed with him.

Your mother went into the kitchen, and Dustin immediately ran up the stairs with the proton pack in hand, still making loud noises and scratching sounds?

„Whatever he is up to, it is no good,“ you thought.

Steve Harrington x Henderson reader

Summary: Steve fights Demogorgons with the kids, and Nancy. Bailing on Y/N one too many times, causing her to break up with him. Yearning, yearning, yearning and a lot of love.

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Chapter 13 Chapter 14 Chapter 15

Only a week later, your mothers cat went missing. You came home from your friend and found your mom and Dustin, both hysterically pacing the living room. Or so it seemed at the first glance.

Your mom was crying, frantically running through the house.

And your brother seemed.. calm?

He wasn't pacing the house. He was walking behind her, trying to calm her. When he had gotten your mom to sit down in one of the soft cushions of your sofa, sitting down beside her, patting her shoulder supportingly, his face twisted into an apologetic frown. "It will be alright Mom, no problem." He said.

You thought he sounded like a 18 year old and not an eigth grader. He looked as if he had grown up. You hadn’t even noticed. To you, he still was six years old.

And then the phone rang, he hastily ran to where the telephone was hanging on the wall.

"Hello?" He asked, curling the cord around his finger. Now he was the one looking nervous.

"Oh mister Daniels.” Dustin turned around, shortly, giving you and your mom a thumbs up.

“Thank you, thank you!“ He was repeating over dramatically

“Yes! We will.“ He nodded

“Thank you for your help." After he had put the telephone back in its threshold, he turned around with a big smile on his face.

“Mews was seen.“ Dustin moved his hands up in surprise.

“Five streets down the road, mom.“ he exclaimed by smiling a little too much.

And your mom.. put on her shoes and went searching.

“I'll help her, we need to find her Dustin!“ You exclaimed, knowing how much your mother loved this cat. She was like a third child to her.

And then Dustin looked at you with the same calm expression he had looked at your mom with when comforting her.

“Do that!“ he picked up his Walkie.

“I'm sure we'll find her in no time.“ He commented.

“Steve, do you copy?“ he said, pressing PTT on his walkie, when you closed the door and went after your mom, trying to find this cat.

In the evening, when you and your mom returned, her cat was nowhere to be found.

It seemed odd. Someone had seen her but yet she wasn’t there. You both told yourself she would return on her own.

So the following day, you came home from shool early, you saw the red Volkswagen in front of your house.

You knew exactly whose car that was. And when you heard loud voices from the garden, you didn’t mean to overhear. You didn’t even want to have anything to do with Steve. It was only that they were talking so loudly, fighting in the sarcastic way they always did.

"So Henderson, you want to tell me, that Lizard is as big as a fox and has killed your cat?" Steve argued, seemingly not believing your brother.

“It is not a lizard,“ Dustin disagreed,

“and yes, it is growing!“

And then you stepped infront of them. Both turned around immediately, shock written on their faces.

"Dustin, I think I need an explanation!“ you said angrily.

“Y/N.“ was all Steve said. Well, he didn’t say it. He mumbled your name as if he was disappointed to see you.

“What is going on here? Where is Mews Dustin!“ you didn’t ask, you demanded. Your hands were on your hips and you tried to look angry.

But in that moment, a loud bang came from the inside of the garage. And then everything was quiet again.

“Nothing.“ Dustin exclaimed, his voice a pitch higher than intended, obviously lying. Trying to hide the noise, he added, “It's a game.“ And then he left you no time to answer and went on rambling:

“Remember my costume? It was an experiment how good those batteries would work if i used another transformative device…“ he stopped mid sentence. “That’s what this was.“

“But that doesn’t explain anything.“ you said angrily.

And then Steve looked at you, really looked at you.

“Y/N, Dustin is right, its nothing.“ he said, wanting to sound believable.

“Oh and I should believe you? You out of all people?“ you hissed at him.

Every time, when you had heard his voice or seen his car, picking up your brother or walking around in the mall, you had felt nothing but pain. Worst was at Scoops Ahoy. The only reason you went there that day, was because you were sure Steve had had a day off that day. That’s what Dustin told you at least. And then to your luck Robin had prepared the ice cream, thinking Steve really wasn’t there. Seeing Steve at Scoops Ahoy made you angry because he was the one who had hurt you and now Robin Buckley was giving free ice cream to you. Life was weird.

She probably had heard of your break up and felt pity for you. Either way, you would never go to Scoops Ahoy. Or trust Dustin when he would tell you that Steve wouldn’t be there.

Then, there was a loud squeek from the inside of the garage and both boys froze.

“What was that?“ You asked.

“Dart.” was all Dustin answered.

And Steve looked like he might wanted to kill your brother.

Steal My Girlfriend 1

Steve Harrington x y/n reader

Summary: Steve and Y/N have been in a relationship or his and Dustin’s friendship has grown. When Dustin’s prom comes around he has no one to ask. Except for Steve’s girlfriend.

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

These Parts can be read individually. They do not need to be read as a series.

It had been a few busy months when Will Byers went missing. Now that everything was over and he was back, everyone deserved some peace and quiet.

It was endearing, you thought. The way Steve Harrington, the boy who had been a complete selfish guy, tried to help Dustin find the right hairstyle for prom so selflessly now. You had no real idea how they got there. To the point of friendship but Dustin was a good person for Steves development and so you didn’t question it.

You had known Dustin Henderson because Steve always kept an eye on him. Especially when fighting Demogorgons, driving him to the arcade or letting him run around his house on a weekend.

Still, it was a surprise when Dustin came up to you, knocking on the door to your house. You had been putting on the movie, preparing the movie night of watching Star Wars with both of them. When the doorbell rang, you opened, waiting for Steve and found Dustin Handerson, standing in your doorway with flowers. Lovely flowers.

They were pink and they looked like he had picked them from his garden. You knew that because Dustin’s mom kept growing those flowers. Still, it was a surprise.

It was endearing.

“Dustin, is everything fine?” You asked after a while. Both of you didn’t say anything.

He was out of breath his bike laying on the ground in the front of your driveway, clearly having rushed here.

“Steve isn’t here yet .” you said adding a “Didn’t he plan on picking you up?” You were confused. Maybe something had happened. Was he okay?

“I need to ask you something before Steve is here Y/N.” He said sternly.

He looked serious. His face was all pale and stern.

“Yeah ask me anything.” You said.

“I have no one to ask and it would be really comfortable to go with you.” He said quietly, looking at the ground while talking.

“Where?” You asked dumpfounded. Not nowing what he meant exactly.

“To prom.” He stated as if it was obvious.

“Your prom is soon?” You asked. When did Dustin grow up?

“Yeah!” He stated.

Of course it was a little strange, unnormal for an eleven year old to ask you out, but you couldn’t help but feel smiling at his question. Dustin didn’t have it easy. Didn’t have a lot of friends or girl admirers. You wanted him to have a night to remember.

“I’ll go with you Dusty.” You said then. How could you not?

And Dustin was smiling. He seemed relieved.

“I brought those flowers for you.” He said, handing them to you.

“They are lovely!” You said.

“For her?” Steve asked confused. “Why are you here man? I waited for you!” He seemed pissed.

“Why did you bring those?” Steve asked then, pointing at the flowers.

“Because Y/N and I will go to prom together.” Dustin stated smilingly. He suddenly seemed taller than he was, chest puffed out, clearly proud of himself.

“Are you stealing my girlfriend?” Steve asked jokingly already stepping inside your house, making his way to the living room. Or to the popcorn more like.

You just looked back at Dustin and smiled at him. Steve’s best friend was yours as well.

“You are so done for, Steve,” was all Dustin said, when Robin had told him about your visit earlier that day. Dustin was annoyed.

He had known that Steve still held feelings for you. Mocking him with Robin had been an attempt to get Steve to like her. Maybe even love her. But hearing of this, Dustin knew his attempts were useless.

Steve, for his part, tried not to talk about this with Dustin. He wanted to keep their friendship away from all that drama. He just wasn’t really good at it. And Dustin, sadly, was really good at getting into Steve’s business.

They were sitting in the far back of Scoops Ahoy, in the staff-room. Dustin was poking his spoon into the ice cream, somehow he didn’t seem to get tired of his chocolate scoop with extra chocolate chips on top. But he looked at Steve again and provokingly said “You now, Y/N has been snoopy. She asked me if everything was fine yesterday.“ He wanted a reaction from Steve. Now it wasn’t about making him fall in love with Robin instead anymore, now it was about mocking him.

“Yeah?“ Steve’s head whipped in Dustin‘s direction, desperately looking for some information.

Dustin’s stoic face turned into hysterical laughter. “And I think she couldn’t care less about you.“ After a small pause, after seeing what Steve’s face looked like in reaction. Sad, pouting, cheeks turning bright red in embarrassment, he added. “She asked me why I wasn’t talking to her, not if you were there, dummy!“

“Dustin no!” Robin, who had listened to his bickering, pointed at him with a pen she had found. “You didn’t see her face an hour ago!”

“Y/N clearly still has feelings for you Steve!“ She looked at him, trying to help her friend.

Steve stayed quiet as they rambled on about whether or not you still loved him.

But when Dustin went on about how you were the one to break up with him, Steve couldn’t let this go on any longer.

“Okay, okay, okay.” He said. “My love life is my concern!“ His hands directed to his chest, stating the obvious.

“Now, what was it you wanted to show us?“ Steve gestured at Dustin, wanting to just get another topic and stop talking about you.

“Oh yeah, nearly forgot about that, because you were all loved up about my sister!“ Dustin remarked loudly, nearly screaming the last words.

Steve rolled his eyes in annoyance and Robin left to get a customer‘s order.

“You know Dart” Whispering, Dustin looked up at Steve. “Right?“ He mumbled carefully.

“What now, Henderson?“ Steve grumbled annoyed.

“He is growing, I thought maybe he would like those chocolate chips you put onto the ice cream…“

“No, no, no, no Henderson were not doing that!“ Steve argued. He was so done with him, rubbing the back of his nose, one hand on his hip as Robin returned to the back of the store. She sat down at the staff table, observing the conversation between the two boys.

“What are you still doing keeping that slimy thing?“ Steve asked, lifting his hand.

“He’s not a thing!“ Dustin said hurt.

“Well from what I’ve heard, Dart IS a slimy snail thingy and you should definitely get rid of it.“ Robin chimed in.

“Get rid of it?“ Dustin looked shocked, standing up and weighing his hands down on the table. “Are you two serious? I thought you graduated!“

“I found him on halloween he‘s a baby!“ Dustin added when none of them were speaking.

“That’s the problem man! Halloween was three weeks ago! Three weeks? Do you know how long that thing will live? No! We don’t know anything about it. Next thing we know it’s a huge Monster.“ Steve was furious.

“Uhh, you don’t get it.“ Dustin claimed angrily.

“No I don’t“ Steve stated. „Because this is fucking dangerous!“

“Boys chill, don’t fight over that thing!“ Robin said.

“You will get rid of it!“ Steve pointed a finger at Dustin.

“Anyway, where’s my ice cream?“ Dustin said smiling, ignoring Steve’s command.

So when you came home a few day’s later and found the trash can outside to be shaking, moving and rattling the same way, Dustin‘s costume had, you were confused. Thinking he had thrown it away, you wanted to open the can, only to be interrupted by no other but your brother. He had just ran down the stairs and was now standing in front of the house, where the moving trashcan was.

“Uh Y/N, that’s..“ he paused, clearly thinking of an explanation. He looked concerned, his eyes moving from you to the container and back.

“That’s my costume!“ He blurted out after a pause. I forgot to take out the batteries and I didn’t need it anymore, so mom told me to throw it away.“ He rambled, Walkie Talkie in hand and stepping from one foot to the other, nervously.

Surely. Surely, he was talking to someone just moments prior!

“Is everything okay with you?“ You asked concerned.

He had been stressed lately. At least that’s what you thought it was. This weird behaviour. Keeping secrets and so, so obviously lying to you and your mom about where he went with Will, Lucas, Mike and Steve.

You didn’t understand why no one seemed to catch onto his fake laughing, the exaggerated smiles, the weird evening hours he spent outside and the way he closed the door to his bedroom a little too quickly the second he stepped inside.

It seemed as though your brother did exactly what Steve had done months before. Same behaviour, same weirdness.

You didn’t know if it was stress from school work, or if there had been other problems, but you saw that something, you were sure of it, was going on! He just didn’t tell you anymore.

“If you need any homework I will help you!“ You stated.

Just because Steve had been all around him didn't mean you weren't going to be a sister to him anymore!

“You just need to ask me.“ you added after a moment of silence. Dustin seemed to not get what you were on to. And then, suddenly, he opened his mouth to a “o“ form

“Ohhh,“ he mumbled, “I know you would but it's okay!“ He looked to the trash can and back at you.

“It‘s fine, Steve can help as well!“ he said without looking at you. Maybe he knew, he would hurt you by saying that. Maybe he didn’t, but then you heard Steve‘s voice through the Walkie. You could hear the rattling of a car engine.

"Henderson, what's going on now? My shift starts in an hour!"

And that was, when you decided to leave.

When you were out of reach dustin pressed the Push-To-Talk-Button on his walkie.

“Steve, Dart escaped. Everything’s under control.”

Steve reacted second later

“What do you mean it escaped?” Steve answered annoyed, probably thinking of fifty ways to find this creature.

Dustin rolled his eyed annoyed at steve calling dart “it”

“He went for the trash can, but i put him in his terrarium.” He answered as if it was nothing.

“How was he able to get out of that?” Steve asked.

But Dustin didnt know either.
