Steve was fucking jittery man. He felt buzzed. He was tapping his fingers on the countertop as the locked out the front doors of the store. It had been a slow day given that it wasn't spring brake just yet. There was an hour left before closing time and all Steve could think about was the boy...was that a boy, he couldn't really tell, he was definitely not a girl, who had walked in the store half an hour ago.
Jay, Jay Ross. Jay had been wearing a pair of fairly short denim shorts, red converse and a transparent black crop top. Steve was certain he had started drooling. Jay had many piercings and such cool hair and pearcing ice blue eyes and what the fuck was Steve thinking. He sat up taking his chin off the had it had been propped up on and shook his head violently.
"Woah dude, what the hell" Robin said shooting a look at him. He made a face at her like "what?" Before he got up and started to pase around the store. Quick change the subject you fucking idiot.
"How are things with Vicky?" He asked turning on his heels to face Robin. She's shrugged.
"I don't know, Steve you know I'm bad at this, anyway let's lock up anyway, I know no one else is coming tonight." Steve sighed. She was right.
~~~
Steve had dropped Robin at her house promising to pick her up tomorrow and to drop her at school. He pretended like he hated it but truly he didn't mind. If Robin didn't feel like learning to drive it was fine, she was his friend and he didn't mind driving her around.
Steve pulled into the driveway of his house. Surprise to no one, his parents were out of town on business. fun. another night alone in his big drafty house. With reoccurring nightmares. He couldn't wait. As Steve entered the house, he closed the door behind him. He kicked off his shoes and locked the door. Then he preceded to lock every window in the house and double check the back door was locked as well. Like hell it would stop something, but it would buy him time.
Steve wouldn't say he was paranoid, no, he had just experienced one too many supernatural occurrences. Sighing to himself he padded to the kitchen in his socks. and opened the fridge. he grabbed a coke and some cold left-over pizza. He could cook to some digery but he was tried. it had been a long day and they where about to get even longer
~~~
A week had passed and Steve hadn't seen Jay again. That means that Jay yes had two overdo movies but, well Jay was new in town so things must have been busy. Spring brake was tomorrow and that meant all sorts of people were coming in to rent things for over the brake. Steve promised to pick up the kids after their dungeons and dragons shit with Eddie. Yeah he wasn't driving his date home. fuck it his kids had asked for a ride first.
He and robin finally closed shop and headed home to get ready. well, Steve took robin home and sat in her room as she was getting ready. She was talking about Vikey again. It was kinda sweet. "So dude, she is like, ah she. We are standing next to each other at the game today and..."
To be honest Steve wasn't really listening as she messed with her hair and eye make up. Robin had finally stopped talking and was staring at herself.
"Need I remind you of out conversation this morning robin," he said meeting here eyes in the mirror. he grinned evilly as a horrified look crossed her face.
"don'-"
"Boobies Robin!" He cackled and she shrieked. not long after that that left for the school. Steve dropped Robin off and found a space to park before entering the building. He didn't really want to go to a game from his old high school but Saintclair was on the team and he had nothing better to do.
~~~
The game had been truly entertaining. Lucas has scored the winning point and the tigers had finally won the championship. He was proud of the twirp. Now to pick up the kids. He rushed out of the gym and waited by the set of doors to the building.
After a few minutes out they came whooping and high giving. Earica was with them a long with a small girl dressed all in black with long hair and chunky shoes. Steve walked towards the group.
"Hey kiddos" he said ruffling Dustin's hair and sing at Mike. Turning to Erica he gave her a small bow.
" My Lady "She frankly looked unimpressed. "Hey, Steve" she replied before flouncing out twords her parents car. Steve shivered before turning back to the other children.
" She scares me." He said. Dustin and Mike nodded in agreement.
Just then a blue car pulled up. The window rolled down to reveal black hair with blond ends. Steve stood there mouth slight agape. Jay Fucking Ross. It was Jay Ross. Holy shit.The shirt girl with black hair and the boots that bumped her up about 3 inches in height, didn't say anything as she crossed her arms over her chest.
Jay looked at what could only be their sibling. Jay's face broke out in a shit eating grin. "Come on Sabrina! Mom ordered pizza." As soon as Jay's mouth closed his eyes caught on Steve.
Steve closed his mouth , stood up straight, and ran a hand through his hair. "Jay Ross," said Steve. If he had been wearing sunglasses he would have looked over at them at the individual in the car.
Jay smiled wider. Steve didn't know how that was even possible, but Jay managed it. Jay just nodded at him before turning to Sabrina. "Come on! Mini will be your ass if you are late. We literally just moved here. Sabrina huffed and entered the car 2avinh good y to Dustin and Michael promising to see them over spring brake.
The car pulled out of the lot and Steve just watched. He had completely stopped thinking. Next thing he knew the kids, his kids were shoving at him saying they need to be home and that they were hungry and tired. Steve sighed and headed towards his car, the children close behind.
