Guys, I can't believe this show ended, and this is the most husband he's ever looked!!! I'm devestated so catch me writing more than this series. LMK if y'all have any ideas you want me to write about.
Previous Chapter - This is the Final Chapter :(
You didn’t think when daydreaming about getting engaged to Steve that it would involve having to climb up the radio tower. But here you were, in the upside down with your new yet instantly iconic machine gun and shit ton of bullets strapped to you, reaching the top.
You scan the faces of the boys you’ve been protecting for years, having the gut feeling that everything might go horribly wrong.
And for a second it did. Right as the radio antenna is about to break through, you realize it’s not lining up. “Hop, we’re about to get squished by a moving planet!” Your brother yells over the walkie.
“Shit, everyone hold on!” Just then, the antenna hits the Abyss, causing a rock to come crashing down. The rock hits the platform, breaking it off and causing Steve to lose his balance.
You just watch in shock as he slips, holding onto the tower with one hand. You gasp, He looses his grip. You have never moved faster, catching the man, with all the strength you had. You could feel your brother behind you, helping pull him up.
When he gets back on his feet, you’re still holding his hand, when Robin runs over, relieved, then shocked when she spots the new piece of jewelry on your finger.
“Holy shit! Look at that rock-“ Her words make everyone turn their heads at you. “Wait- Steve-?” The group is stuttering out.
“Yeah, yeah, I proposed. I know, it’s about time.” He says nonchalantly, mimicking the kid's reactions. You laugh, pecking his lips quickly. “The wedding will be wonderful- and we’ll tell you all about it after we get into the abyss and save the children.” You say, beginning to help everyone up through the crack in the Abyss.
You begin to make your way to the hive mind as Nancy comes up beside you, somewhat awkwardly says, “So…He proposed.” You nervously look at the girl, not expecting her to crack a smile. “I’m happy for you. You deserve those little nuggets.” She jokes.
“God, I hope he’s not settled on six.” You can finally let out a laugh, throwing your head back in relief. Relief that your major life step with your best friend’s ex-boyfriend was met with love and support. Robin comes rushing over to you. “Can I just say how excited I am for the bachelorette party I’m planning? I mean, ever since Steve told me- I was just like, Y/N is gonna loooove this.” You laugh, throwing your arm over her shoulder.
When you guys approach the hive mind, it literally looks like a hand. Suddenly, Will starts to see through Vecna’s eyes, letting Joyce handle it. You all run towards the monster, as it starts to come out of the ground like a spider charging at you all.
The Mind Flayer's legs rumble the surface of the ground, forcing you to retreat. You see out of the corner of your eye, Dustin falling on the ground as the monster raises its leg to attack. Rushing in, you quickly scoop your brother up just in time for the two of you to not get crushed.
“Shit- Dustin. Stop screwing around.” You yell, continuing to run with the boy in your arms. Just then, a rock slams into the monster, and you all look to see El in the distance starting to fight him.
She buys you time to plan to get the others in by a canyon to attack it from above, then Robin says the words none of you ever want to hear. “Which one of us is bait?” Silence.
You scoffed, rolling your eyes and cocking your gun. “Okay, so obviously we’re talking about me, right? I mean, I am two for two on saving people today, why not push my luck?” You step up, already shooting at the thing as everyone runs off, hesitantly, of course.
“Over here, you flaying fuck!” You shout as the monster chases you. You swear you could hear Steve call your name before being dragged off by your brother and Jonathan. You lead it over to the canyon as the other are quick to attack him as well.
With a loud screech, the Mind Flayer burns to the ground. You all quickly rush inside the monster to find El and the kids up against the wall. You all quickly remove the vessels from their faces, helping them come back to life.
That’s when you saw him. God, it took you back to the first night he got into your mind. Vecna has a giant tooth straight through his chest, but that wasn’t good enough for you. Without a second thought, you grab the axe out of Robin’s bag and walk toward Henry.
You sigh as you think about all the loss over the past three years. Eddie, Chrissy,...Barb. You got close to his face and whispered, “I told you, you were fucked.” And with one nasty chop, off goes his head.
In an instant, everyone rushes to hug you, forming one big dysfunctional family of survivors and fighters. You somehow get all the kids back somewhat safe and sound right after blowing up the Upside Down with El in it.
That was the biggest loss the group had to face, but alas, life keeps going…
“What do I even talk about, I mean, my references are about as dated as my friend’s bowl cut-” Life was now actually brighter since the end of the Upside Down. You actually convinced Jimmy “Fast Hands” Lee to sell you the WSQK and were managing it full-time; however, this time, you didn’t have the help of your two loyal best friends or constant impending doom. You could just play the music you wanted and talk endlessly into the microphone
You did, however, let Rockin Robin return to give the people a quick check-in on her life. Since she’s been away at school, you can’t help but feel a little left out, y’know, she left and saw the world. Snapped out of your thoughts when she says, turning to you with a smile, “I think the curse on Hawkins is finally lifted.”
You left the station early to rush to the one place you never thought you’d be at so soon, a little league baseball game. “Coach,” You greeted Steve outside his dugout. He was chewing his Big League Chew anxiously, watching his boys.
Dressed in head-to-toe blue with a jacket that says Coach Steve on it, you can’t help but smile. Steve loved his new Sex Ed teaching/coaching gig at the middle school. It’s nice to see him excited to make a difference in these children’s lives. In fact, it was kinda the hottest thing ever.
He turns to you, anxiety immediately floating away, smiling when he sees you. “Mrs. Harrington,” Even though you guys have been married for a year now, you still find yourself blushing at the name.
You think back to your wedding. It was beautiful. Dustin officiated it, saying that he couldn’t be the maid of honor or best man for both of you; he just needed to be in the middle. Which you didn’t mind, especially when he freestyled and spilled his perspective on your love story. God and your vows made Steve sob like a baby. You were madly in love with each other.
“You look beautiful, baby. All dressed in blue.” He kisses your lips, hands rubbing up and down your sides. You wrap your arms around his neck, leaning into it more, before pulling away. “Coach, this isn’t very PG. What kind of example are you setting for your team?”
He laughs loudly at that comment. “I’m teaching them how to properly treat a woman. You know I teach sex ed, right? So I know all the tricks.” He flirts, kissing you again. You just shake your head, giggling like a little girl.
“Y’know, I don’t love the thought of you teaching teens about sex. I mean, I know how I looked at you when I was a teen, let alone if you were teaching me-” You erupted into giggles as he kissed you again. “It’s a problem, you’re now the hot teacher in Hawkins.”
He smiles, brushing a piece of hair behind your ear. “Well, in that case, maybe after the game I can teach you a few things?” He leans in to kiss you, barely grazing your lips, “But for now, do you want my jacket so everyone knows you're screwing the coach?” Already pushing the jacket off his own shoulders, throwing it on yours.
“You’re insane, Steve Harrington.” He smiles, “Only for you, Y/N Harrington.” With a cheeky slap on your ass, you’re off to the bleachers
A few days later, you’re standing in your living room in tears alongside your mother and Steve. Your baby is all grown up and is graduating today. How could you keep it together? And judging by the sunglasses Steve wore, he knew he would be crying with you.
Your mom hardly holds up the camera as your brother poses, smiling widely. “Hey, it’s okay-” He rushes to give you and your mom the biggest hug. “I’m gonna come home every chance I get and call so much you’ll wanna change numbers. I’m only a day's drive away.”
His reassurance means little to you, as the second he lets go and smiles, the water works are back on. You have to throw your face into Steve’s chest to hide your tears; he just rubs your head comfortingly.
Dustin puts a hand on your back, turning around to face him with teary eyes, “You’re the best sister I could’ve ever had. Thank you for teaching me everything I needed to know.” You sniffle and nudge Steve’s side, “You hear that? I’m a better teacher than you.” You giggle as you take a few more photos of him and Steve together. You’re framing that one.
“Ladies and gentleman give a warm welcome for your valedictorian, Dustin Henderson.” You and Steve shot up on your feet, cheering for your boy as he walked to the podium on the graduation stage.
Your brother starts his speech very sentimentally because he was right, the chaos is over. So much so that Dustin, as your boyfriend, takes off his glasses to wipe his eyes when he mentions their friendship. You just kiss his cheek, listening as the speech slowly goes off the rails.
“So honestly, just screw it.” He zips off his cap and gown to reveal his Hellfire Lives shirt. “Screw the system, screw conformity, Screw everything…because this, this is our year!” He yells, keeping the mic away from the principle trying to snatch it. All you can do is cheer as your brother drops the mic, snatching his diploma and flipping Principal Higgins off, just like Eddie would’ve wanted.
You're sobbing and cheering at the same time, so proud of the man he has become.
Later, the older kids decide to swing by the Squwak for drinks on the roof. “I mean, look at this view, how could you guys not miss it?” The way Steve talked about this town with such admiration made your stomach twist. You loved hawkins dont get it twisted, but there could be so much more. Possibly start a family somewhere that's not infected by memories, somewhere fresh.
“If I had a question about an STD, you would be the first person I would go to,” Robin tells Steve. “Thank you? No, I really do love teaching these kids about the miracle of life…and how not to start it accidentally.” He says earnestly.
Nancy perks up excitedly, ‘Speaking of? Kids? Y/N?” Your eyes go wide for a second, choking on your Coke. Everyone notices your reaction and turns to you expectantly. Steve turns to you, confused.
She smirks, knowing she can still see right through you. You sigh and lift your head, “Yeah, uh- I’m actually pregnant right now.” The words came out in a relieved laugh. Finally getting to spill the secret.
Everyone in the group gasps as Steve turns to you, face dropping in shock, and you finally meet his eyes. That's when he instantly smiles and scoops you up in his arms, spinning you in the air while kissing you.
When he finally puts you down, he breathes out, “Wait- what- How do you- When did you find out?” He holds you close, and you melt right into place. “Literally three days ago, I took a test for shits and giggles- I stopped laughing real quick.” The whole group erupts in laughter at your comment.
“I was going to tell you tonight at dinner but…” You glance at Nancy, who’s covering her laughter with her hand. He’s so relieved to know that you weren’t hiding it from him. “God, I’m so happy that I can stop pretending to be a dad and actually do it.” He whispers into your lips.
“We’re gonna raise a pretty kick ass kid.” You joke. Robin uses this new niece or nephew of hers as an excuse to arrange days to hang out with the group, once a month, in Robin’s uncle’s basement.
As everyone was leaving for the night, you decided to quickly finish organizing some paperwork. Calling out for Steve as he says his goodbyes. Robin smirks, “We know you guys just want us to leave so you can bang- God, you’re still horny teenagers- You literally have a house!”
“Goodnight, Robin,” You yell from the other room, hearing the door click. Then two strong arms from behind you holding your stomach. You’re obviously not even showing yet, but that doesn’t stop him from feeling what’s about to grow.
He kisses your neck, humming at the sweet perfume you wore. “Mm, today has been so emotional.” You say, wiping the exhaustion and leftover tears from your eyes. He just nuzzles into you more, hands finding their way under your shirt. “I felt like a proud mom watching Dustin flip off the system.”
You turn around, facing him now, “Wonder where he learned that.” He says, sarcastically kissing your lips. “You’re gonna make a great mother.”
You scan his suit-covered body, pulling at his tie. “And you, Stevie, are going to make one hell of a DILF,” You say as you undo the buckle of his belt.
“God, my wife says the nastiest things. I should really do something about that mouth of yours.” He practically moans when he feels your hand stroking his cock. “Mm, baby, you know I would, but mamas pretty impatient tonight…I’m gonna need you to take care of me.”
Youre petname for yourself lights a fire in him, diving straight under the flowy sundress that he helped pick out, to pull your underwear down. He places soft kisses all along your thigh until he starts to kitten lick your clit. “You’re so wet for me, baby, want me to put another baby in you. Fuck you so deep you have twins.”
You just nod as he’s already pumping his fingers into you to stretch you out. Your head tosses back with a moan. That was all the reassurance he needed to stick his cock into you.
“Fuck- Daddy-” You had no idea where that came from. It was probably the fullness of him causing your brain to malfunction. He short-circuits himself.
“That’s right, baby. Daddy’s got you- Daddy’s gonna take care of you and our baby- Fuck.” He says his hips are moving with no particular pace or rhythm, like the weight of your words is throwing off his game. So much for a sex ed teacher.
Thumbing your clit, you tighten around him. “That’s it, sweetheart. Squeeze me- milk my fucking cock.” His other hand on your hip, pounding into you as you lean back on the desk.
“Fuck- Daddy, I’m gonna come- please-” You beg. He smirks and nods, “Anything for my girl,” finishing inside you with one final thrust. You unravel on him.
You just hold eachother close as he’s scooping up the leaking cum with his finger and pushing it back inside you, “Not that you need it, but a boy can dream.” He says, smiling a big dopey smile.
After he’s decided you’re stuffed to the brim, he pulls away, helping you get redressed carefully like you’re fragile now. You just laugh at the difference in how he was treating you just seconds before.
“I’m so glad you told me. I know how hard it is for you to keep a secret.” He kisses your cheek, and you suck in an awkward breath.
“Speaking of secrets- lemme just lay it all out there. So somehow my dream radio station heard my morning broadcast and offered a job in Chicago, and they want me to be a main host on their shows!” You blurt out, flinching, waiting for a response.
He’s confused by your reaction, turning to wrap you in his arms, “That’s amazing, my love! You’re a perfect choice, of course.” He sounds so positive, so you hit him with, “Did you not hear the Chicago part?”
He just laughs at your worried expression, cupping your face in his hands. “I’ll follow you and our child to the ends of the world if I have to.” Kissing you softly.
You smile softly, “I looked it up, and Dustin would actually be closer but still far enough to give space. And I know you’ll be able to find a place to coach and teach and really make a difference. Be a hero.”
“Go where you’re needed.”
“Exactly…I love you, Steve Harrington.” You look at that man like he moves the heavens and stars for you. Because he absolutely does.
“I love you too, Mrs. Harrington.”
