Someone will if you don't
Steve Harrington x Female!Reader
Warnings : Angst (maybe?), jealousy.
Summary : (Season 4) You're too tired to fight for your couple. Steve is like a little puppy when Nancy is around. But Steve noticed you at the wrong moment.
Sorry if there's any mistakes, English isn't my first language
It started with that look in his eyes when they were on her, too soft, too something that was never for you. And you noticed it, you knew it, that your boyfriend didn't really move on from his first love, you accepted it.
First, he was an absolute love with you, then he became like distant, he was always a gentleman, but not every time like a few months ago. And he finally stopped to be that gentleman he used to be.
You didn't say anything, you kept your mouth shut. Cause, why complain? You knew it, you just waited for when all of would be over. It was stinging when you noticed, that pang in your heart, you felt it when you saw their fingers brush instead of yours with his. You ignored it and made like nothing ever happened.
Even your friends started to tell you that something was off between you and Steve.
"Y/n?" Robin said when you were in the Upside Down searching for Vecna. "Did something happened between you and this dingus? I really don't wanna sound intrusive but you barely talked to each other since we're here," it was clearly intrusive and Robin was absolutely conscious of this but she really had to ask, after all, you're her friend and Steve's also her friend, for her you're like that couple, the couple.
You looked at her with that blank expression, then you looked the people in front of you, Nancy and your "boyfriend" Steve. Then you drifted your eyes back to Robin and sighed softly.
"Nothing happened don't worry darling," something happened, even if she's your friend and even if she probably knows that you're actually lying, you really got nothing to say about this situation. Like, what should happen will happen and who are you to not be okay with? Nobody.
"Did I say to you that you're like the biggest liar I ever met?" She laughed. "But seriously Y/n, I know, everyone by the way knows that something changed between the two of you," Robin took a deep breath and kept talking. "I don't know what it is, even if I do have a clue about what went down. However... if you feel that your head or your heart are carrying too much, know that I'm here if you need to confess or just to talk, to release the pressure." Your friend looked at you from the top to the bottom, her gaze went on your face. She looked like she was trying to search something on it.
"Because yes, you really look like someone who's overwhelmed by something that nobody knows." You didn't hesitate and you took her in your arms, giving her a warm hug. "Thank you Robin, it really warms my heart."
After that, you walked beside Eddie, Robin was with him and Nancy. Eddie couldn't stopped looking at you. You turned your face, arching an eyebrow.
"What?" He looked at you with a little smile but didn't say anything. He just put his arm around your shoulders.
"If Harrington can't take care of the prettiest girl of Hawkins, I will."
You laughed, a real laugh this time. You felt the heat rushing your face. You didn't care of what was around you, you were just mesmerised by Eddie's words. But suddenly, you felt observed. You turned your head and you saw Steve, brows frown, he was no longer looking at his ex-girlfriend, he was looking at you.
"Man are you out of your mind? Put your fucking arm off her shoulders."
Oh Steve, you thought, now you're noticing me?
