Steve’s fully awake despite the steady beat of his heart against your navel. He’s angled his head to keep you in his line of vision. Not even a slight concerned look or furrowed eyebrows appear on his face.
“What are you looking at?” You raise an eyebrow playfully. His answer comes with zero hesitation. “You. always you”. Punctuation with a genuine soft smile. “You know I was sorta really into you before we started dating” it comes out of his lips like a well kept secret. He says it, not with embarrassment, but with boyish vulnerability.
His head is turned to the side, eyes suddenly becoming very interested in the excessive and ugly floral pattern of the couch. you playfully roll your own away from his view. He’s endearing when he’s flustered but you don't want him to regret sharing his feelings with you. It’s clear Steve’s not amused by the delighted huff that escapes you. You go to soothe him but still tease him a bit more. Despite the closeness between the two of you, laying on top of each other on the couch, your hands always drift toward Steve. Your fingers rake through his hair as he sighs with content and allows the weight of his head to fully lay on your stomach.
“Really? I had no idea baby” you tease, still running your hand through his hair.
He sits up immediately and gives you an incredulous look, “wait, really?”. God he’s so handsome even when he’s confused, maybe even more so when he’s confused. “Steve, are you aware how you tripped over yourself trying to come talk to me when I was already there to see you? I was waiting on you.” You smile back and gently move one hand to stroke his cheek with your thumb. He blushes and insists, “I wasn’t that obvious”. You decide to give him a lifeline, “Maybe I was just really observant of the handsome guy that was always around” you bite back a smile, eyebrows lifting slightly. Somewhere between watching him with secondhand embarrassment as he fumbled any girl that came in and how close he was with Robin and the party, you fell for him. Quietly observing and getting to know the real Steve. Giving him a space to be himself as well. Discarding whatever traces of his cocky asshole persona once and for all. No need for him to be "the best you've ever had" in order to win you over. (Although he really is.) Giving him the loving attention he has always deserved. Allowing him to be just Steve.
"Maybe I was observant of the pretty girl that came around a lot", he says as he untangles his arms from beneath your thigh and places them on the cushion on either side of your hips. Grinning and maintaining eye contact as he climbs closer to you. You don't doubt he was observant, every time he caught your eye without shame he'd have a precious smile reserved just for you. A moment just between the two of you that always sparked something in you. Knowing that he was too genuine to play with your heart but still in the dark about how he felt made your stomach flip in a pleasant way. Making you feel a way that always had you breaking eye contact with him first.
You maintain the eye and ask "well what was the first thing you observed about me then?" you said tilting your head slightly to the side and smiling with fondness.
Now hovering over you, but still leaning down to place a kiss on either cheek and then a quick kiss to your lips. Gently he pulls away before you can kiss him back. "I thought it was obvious, your smile. Every time I looked at you and you were already looking at me, you'd be smiling. I couldn't help but smile too" he looks down at your lips then back to your eyes. "You're smiling like that right now" he grins before peppering kisses everywhere but your lips. Steve whispers in between kisses prettiest girl I've ever seen and I'm the luckiest guy ever but the words are muffled against your cheeks. Finally, he pulls away to make sure you hear him clearly, "I love you" looking at you like you make the stars glow just for him. Although you've said it to each other many times, it never rings hollow. Every I love you its own recommitment to each other and each one encompassing wordless adoration for one another.
Thanking the universe for putting you two in each other's paths, meeting your other half and someone you unquestionably want to spend the rest of your life with. Having someone know you so intimately and unconsciously gravitate towards each other like the solar system. His hand finding yours in a crowd easily and your hand wrapping around his bicep subconsciously. Walking around with the type of look that shows the people around you how sickeningly sweet you two are.
You're brought fully back into the present as Steve begins to kiss the exposed skin of your neck as low as your shirt allows him to. With a fervor that tells you how much he wants this but the gentleness that allows him to fully take you in. He begins to slide his hands under your shirt and push it over your bra. All while continuing to kiss lower and lower, the blush that overtakes your body betrays you as you try not to give in to what you desperately want as well. Robin. Nancy. Robin and Nancy, who are probably waiting with their arms crossed at the steps to their apartment.
Then you remember Robin and Nancy's party, the one they specifically even offered to pick you up to prevent you two from the inevitable. Or how Robin had so eloquently put it, "Eww get off of HER!" Who could blame you for wanting him all the time? Steve Harrington is charming.
You could feel your resolve giving away with every open-mouthed kiss he plants lower and lower. You wanted him just as bad if not more. "Robin and Nancy will be upset that we were late because you couldn't keep your hands to yourself" you say in a fake exasperated tone. Knowing damn well it was worth it last time and it will be now.
Well you heard it here first folks Maya Hawke HERSELF didnt want robin and vickie to do the final scene and it was also implied they broke up so all you rovickie fans can chill on me😭😭 you rovickie fans jumped down my THROATS when I said theres a reason maya and amybeth did 0 PR together. It wasnt cannon in the long term hence why maya and amybeth did no PR.
I also agree because why was she separated from her friends for 90% of the season? Steve was like oh we are gonna hang out well I guess the duffers didnt want that😭 They just used robins sexuality for will😭😭 I did enjoy her small scenes with mike and lucus tho and joyce.
