ClairexSteve drabble marathon!

That's right! I'm starting this little activity for all the Claire Redfield x Steve Burnside fans here on Tumblr! What do you have to do? Just reblog this post and write a really short story, or even just a scene or a dialogue between these two. The stories don't have to be a continuity but you can do it if you want :) As for the subject, anything goes as long as it's about this wonderful pairing :) It can be set during the game, right after, in an alternate universe, a "what if" scenario, etc. So, shall we begin??? I'm going first 8D ========================= The sound of footsteps woke her up. She turned around in her bed and saw that it was still the middle of the night. She could hear the person going downstairs and it made her realize that she was thirsty. She was also curious as who it could be. Maybe Chris wanting a little snack, like he would do when they were kids. She quietly got up and noticed that the door of the bedroom on her right was slightly opened. It was Steve's room. He was sleeping in one of the guest rooms. She sneakily looked inside and found it empty. "Must be him downstairs then," she thought as she made her way there, trying her best to not make the floor creak. She and the others were taking refuge in an old cottage for a while. It was dark downstairs, he didn't even bother switching a light on, but the moon was bright enough that night to cast light inside. She saw him by the bay window. He was looking outside, lost in thought. He jolted a bit when she whispered. "Can't sleep?" "Naah...too many things running in my head." "Like what?" "Like..." he paused and deeply sighed. "My parents are dead, I'll never see them again. I lost my home. I have nowhere to go and...I just...I'm all alone now..." he struggled to say, she could see that he was on the verge on crying, but holding back. She tenderly put a hand on his shoulder and squeezed it reassuringly. "You're not alone Steve...you have me." "Yeah...but what tells me you're not doing that just out of pity for me? You're such a nice girl, Claire, but...." "But?" "I....I wish, you know...that we could...be more than friends, if you consider me as your friend that is..." he blurted out, looking away. His cheeks seemed red in the moonlight. "What are you babbling about?" scoffed the young woman, sitting down on the bay window, facing him. "You're my friend, ever since the incident on the island. And no Steve. I'm not being nice to you because I pity you. I'm nice to you because I like you, simple as that." "So...what if we..." "Become fuck buddies?" "Uhh...w-what??" "That's not what you meant?" she giggled. "Because you know, it really sounded like this to me." "No-no-no! I meant that....we could, you know...be friends but...be more...close to each other...?" "So, you want us to be friends with benefits?" "Y-yeah!" "You do know it's the same as being fuck buddies?" "I..uhhh...." "Gosh! I'm just teasing you Steve!" she exclaimed, tapping him on the shoulder. "I got ya." "Is that...okay with you?" "Hmm....not sure if Chris will agree, but I really don't care at this point. I'm no kid." The young man just smiled and nodded to himself, clearly happy with the outcome of their discussion. But despite all of that, Claire could still see hurt in his eyes and features. His wounds were still deep and open. It would take some time to heal. "So...how about you spend the rest of the night in my room? Will that make you more at ease?" she casually asked, getting up. "I doubt it would make me more at ease, but....I'd be a fool to say no." "You're already a fool, Steve Burnside." FIN

Why I Ship Steve/Claire.

Aside from the fact that these two look cute as buttons together and their interactions are way too entertaining, there are other reasons I ship them based on exclusive and collective character facets.

Individually, Claire is strong, intelligent, capable, and still prone to mistakes, which are some of the main reasons I love her to pieces... aside from the fact that she's sexy in that modest and nurturing sort of way. She is shown countless times to be patient and compassionate with characters, especially children. RE2 showed this in great detail.

Also, at the end of RE2, Claire makes a difficult decision. Despite Leon being injured, Claire splits up with him and Sherry, and continues on with her goal: finding her brother. To me, regardless of whether this was right or wrong, it showed that Claire has her own goals in mind as well, akin to such characters as Ada Wong. I find this refreshing, because it reveals a more human and selfish side to Claire. It makes her more believable and tangible. It also highlights her good deeds and makes them more rewarding to witness.

What I really loved about Claire's involvement with Code Veronica is that she was ripped violently from her element, and hurled, once again, into the nightmare that almost claimed her and Sherry back in Raccoon. This time, she is seasoned and, even with the shock of waking up to that nightmare, wholly capable of survival on a more intermediate level.

Then, Steve Burnside is introduced into the picture, a 17-year-old with trust issues and a thirst to prove himself. Contradictory and engaging, these facets make up a rather interesting dilemma for Claire. Unlike Sherry, Steve insists on heading off into danger alone, bravado, stupidity, and all. He won't allow himself to depend on others, which is one thing that highlights Claire's patience... a lot!

Throughout the game, Claire goes from being annoyed and confused with Steve, to questioning his behavior, sensing something more than immaturity and an itchy trigger finger. After discovering the real reasons behind his lack of trust and overly zealous antics, she comforts him, and establishes a real connection with him as an individual, finally. To me, that is what really exhibited Claire's unique facet of the nurturing character, the maternal and patient heart of Resident Evil.

Moving onto Steve--now, I've already discussed some of his personality traits, but I'd like to go into greater detail. For starters, Steve is 17-years-old, annoying, and reckless. On top of that, his recklessness gets him into trouble a time or two throughout the game. To most, this is probably unattractive in a game character. To me, this is golden. Steve begins as a simple albeit gun savvy young man that grows into something much more. He is given excellent growth and this growth solidifies and defines him as a character. I really believe that he comes full circle, learning to trust and even valuing a life be barely knows. This is huge considering the tragedy of his father's betrayal. Steve blames him for everything, yet Steve cannot hate his father. That conflict would make it hard for anyone to trust again, let alone promising to jump blindly into danger to help them.

In the beginning, Steve saw impressing Claire as a must--typical teenage boy bravado. However, as time goes on, Steve's reasons for protecting Claire change. They go from selfish to selfless. After so many times of Claire sticking her neck out for Steve, Steve realizes his mistake, just because someone you loved betrayed you doesn't mean everyone will, even a stranger. Steve was being prejudice against everyone for his father's misdeeds. Claire honestly taught him to overcome that, which is what I think defines Steve the most.

As you are beginning to notice, both Claire's and Steve's individual character facets are affected by one another substantually. To me, what makes a ship worth while is not if one character can make the other, but if both characters individually amplify each other. They highlight the good in one another, strengthening positive traits that have already been established individually. Basically, when they interact, they benefit from it. It's not something confined strictly to self indulgence or emotional need. In the beginning, it could have been that way with Steve, but as I said, it changed over the span of their many interactions.

Claire didn't need him to hold her hand, and he denied her holding his for the longest, so their exchanges forced both of them to grow. Claire didn't treat him like some helpless boy, nor him her. In fact, I found it hilarious that Steve just runs off and leaves her in the beginning. Stupid, yes. Surprising and infuriating, most definitely. Cowardly, not in the conventional way.

This brings me to another interesting development between Steve and Claire. As Steve communicates with her, slowly, he has to confront his inability to trust. This is where Steve would be considered a coward--his opposition toward putting his trust in another. Claire has his back, and he knows better than to ignore that. Him making the promise to protect her next time, shows Steve's growth and integrity.

On top of all this, Claire had to deal with the loss of Steve. To me, after that kind of relationship, though short, Claire's heart must have been pierced. I mean--regardless of whether or not she reciprocated his feelings (canon-wise), Claire is a warmhearted character. It would only be natural that his death have a strong affect on her. After all he'd been through, after his long struggle to reject trusting her, he jumps in the way of danger to repay her for her kindness. That is huge, IMO. To Claire, that would be a great honor, but also a bittersweet one. She was able to help him, but he still died, anyway. Also, Steve is the first and only (as far as we know) person that Claire hasn't been able to save. Steve's sacrifice means more than repayment and even romantic feelings for Claire, it also means she failed to protect someone, she failed to save him. Hypothetically, Steve could very well be the reason that Claire chose the path she did.

After such a long-winded evaluation, I just wanna say this, I mainly love Steve/Claire for my headcanon smut delusions. Claire would totally be the tiger in bed! I'm so not sorry~

Is it bad that I was listening to BIGBANG -- Bad Boy while writing this? Stevie being bad. Claire better reprimand that boy! *smut FEELS* LAWL!!!!
