S O F T C O R E // Steve Harrington X Reader // Stranger Things

11. The Pollywog

When the morning came around I forgot that Steve had stayed over. Guess I was so drunk that I'd forgotten. I turned on my side and gave him a quick kiss. "If this is how I'll get woken up every morning when I'm with you. Let's just move in together already." Steve said to me with a smile. He was half-awake. His hair was messy and he looked cute that way.

"We can't yet. We need to finish school and then we can think about it." I said to him and he then pulled me closer to him.

"Fine, I'll be wait but I can't wait for that day to finally happen." He said before kissing my shoulder and I smiled.

"Y/n, breakfast!" Mom shouted and we both sprung up. I looked at him.

"Go, I'll see you at school." I said to him and he started for the window.

"I love you, Solace." He said to me and I smiled at him.

"Love you too, Harrington." I said to him before he left. I got dressed in my outfit for today before heading downstairs to greet my parents for breakfast.

"What time did Steve leave last night, Mija?" Dad asked me and I looked at him. I then looked at Hunter. He knew the truth somehow I could tell just be reading his expression.

"He left at 2, when you were all asleep." I said to them and they believed me.

"Well when you see Steve tell him, we say thank you." Mom said and I then headed off to school. Of course I wasn't going to do that because then he'd laugh because he stayed the night. Especially with the whole rules about not having boys stay over. Especially when the doors closed when I arrived at school I saw Eddie and I walked over to him.

"I saw you leave with Steve last night. Was everything okay?" He asked me and I looked at him as we were walking down the halls.

"I got drunk, I can't remember most of it but I remember Steve taking me home." I said to him and he looked at me. He heard something about the party.

"Billy was talking about you. I overheard. That's the new guy. He was going to try and still you from King Steve to show that he could easily take everything from him." He said to me and I shook my head. There was no way in hell that that was ever going to happen. Why would I ever want to date Billy.

"Well, it would never work because Billy isn't even my kind of guy at all. I wouldn't date him if he was the last person." I said to him and he laughed and what I said.

"Fair enough but keep your wits about. I don't want something bad to happen to you." He said to me and I looked at him before placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Munson, I'll be fine. I've seen shit and I know that this won't stop me." I said to him and he smiled at me and shook my head.

"You'll have to tell me about that shit. Where did you disappear to that one night that got you so scared. I was worried about you." He said to me and I looked up at him. I could never tell him. It wasn't safe enough. I had to let him find all of this out no matter what it took.

"I'll tell you one day but you'll never believe what I tell you. It's too crazy for anyone to fully understand." I said to him And he gave me a questionable look. Like he had something to say.

"But Steve understands. Solace, he's not the brightest person. How does he understand." He said to me and I looked at him. I hated that I even had to bring Steve into this now.

"Because he was there Eddie. There's a lot of things that's you don't know about Hawkins and trust me one day when it's safe I'll tell you but for now I can't for your own safety. And this isn't me having a joke I'm being serious." I said to him and he nodded at me.

"Noted." He said to me and Billy past us and he just made eye contact with me and that's when I saw Steve. And Eddie went the opposite direction.

"Hey, you." Steve said to me as he walked over to me and put his arm around me.

"How was basketball?" I asked him and he looked at me as we walked down the hallway.

"The new guy, was trying to get under my skin and I wouldn't let him." He said to me and that's when I looked at him. I had to tell him Billy's whole plan.

"He's trying to steal me from you. Apparently he said it at the party when we left." I said to him and he stopped in his tracks.

"Your joking right. I'll get him." He said to me and he wasn't happy. I stopped him and put a hand on his cheek.

"Steve, he's not worth it. He'll never get me. You know who won't so leave it." I said to him and he nodded. He had to understand that. When we were leaving I saw Hunter running around and I wouldn't ask questions. Kids were weird, especially him and his small group.
