Steve Harrington Imagines

Manly

Steve's POV

I was stressed, and over worked and over booked in every sense of the word. I had kids to babysit, a job to work and a coworker who constantly made fun of me simply based on my existence. I sighed and got to Y/n's house, we planned on going to do some shopping today and I couldn't lie, I was anything but excited.

I knocked on the door and she answered, her eyes beaming at me and she looked so excited.

"Hi babe! Everything ok?" I guess I had a look because she grabbed my hand and brought me inside. We walked over to the couch and sat down, yet we didn't say anything.

"Babe?" I looked at her, my eyes heavy and tired.

"Sorry babe, I know you want to go shopping but I am so exhausted. Can we just hangout here for like half hour and then go shopping?" She smiled at me.

"Of course lovey, you look tired. Here come lay down." She motioned for me to lay down, my head resting in her lap and he hands petting my hair. I would care, but honestly I was too tired.

Y/n's POV.

Steve fell asleep 2 minutes after laying down, so it looks like we are doing 0 shopping today which is fine. I can always go another day. He was sleeping peacefully, and I was just watching the TV. All the shows these days were so boring, but I was stuck to the couch, petting Steve's hair. Mike walked in first, then Dustin, Max, El, and Lucas. They all looked over and I held my finger to my lips, motioning that he was sleeping. They all held in their laughter and ran upstairs to El's room. I could hear them giggling, and I rolled my eyes. Teenagers.

"Hey Sweetie.." my dad walked in the house.

"SHHHHH." I motioned to him that Steve was asleep. He raised his hands in defense. I smiled at him and he shook his head causing me to laugh lightly. Steve awoke from his small nap and looked around, smiling up at me.

"Morning sleepy." He sat up and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"How long was I out for?" He stretched his arms wide.

"Only about an hour or so. I figured we can go shopping another day, plus the kids are here and in El's room. They have some top secret information for you." He sighed and got up, walking down the hallway.

Steve's POV

I opened the door to El's room and every pair of eyes in the room was on me in a second. They all erupted into laughter, holding their stomachs and nearly falling over.

"What am I missing?"

"Oh Steve is a big baby.." Lucas said from the corner.

"Steve, such a baby, needs some cuddles from his hard work day..." Mike said from the other corner of the room.

"Oh a good hair pet will do the trick." Max said with a grin. I rolled my eyes and pulled my bottom lip in-between my teeth.

"Okay, I see what's going on here."

"Do you Steve? Cause 2 minutes ago you were snoozing on Y/n's lap like a toddler." Dustin stated.

"There is nothing wrong with wanting to be cuddled!" I heard Y/n laugh from behind me and saw her leaning against the door frame.

"I agree!" She said.

"Babe, not helping." She brought her hands up and walked away. I looked back at the idiots in front of me.

"Steve. I'm just confused how you went from man whore, to being snuggled by your girlfriend, in less than a year. That's an odd change." I gasped.

"Man whore? Wow, that was low." Lucas shrugged. When did they all become so mean?

"Y/n said you had top secret information, so instead of laughing at me for enjoying a hair pet, please tell me what's going on." They started rambling on and on about some secret bunker in the woods behind Ms. Stacy's house, yet they spoke so fast I couldn't keep up.

"Woah woah woah, what?"

"Listen. There's a bunker in the woods behind Ms. Stacy's house and we need to figure out what's in it because we saw some very bright lights coming from inside it and we think it may be another Demogorgon, or worse, Russians." Dammit, there's never a second of peace around here. I sighed.

"Okay, let's go." They all jumped up and ran to the front door, I found Y/n and gave her a peck.

"Be safe fighting monsters ok? I want my cuddles when you get back." She smiled at me.

"I promise!" I walked out the front door and Mike threw me my bat.

————————————————

We walked through the woods, the sun has just set so the woods weren't too dark yet.

"Hey Steve, if you're scared just imagine Y/n cuddling you."

"Haha, you're so funny. Shup up." They giggled together as we kept walking. We got to the bunker and, they were right. There were very bright lights in this think, they were flickering and there was a certain smell in the air.

"Hey Steve.." Dustin whispered next to me.

"Yes Dustin?" I looked over at him.

"Don't worry. Y/n will cuddle away all your fears tonight." I smacked the back of his head.

"Owww..." I watched as someone exited the bunker, they closed the door after them but didn't lock it. Bingo. We ran in a straight line to the bunker door, I opened it as the kids filed in, walking inside myself I closed the door. Looking around, there was, marijuana plants?

"Is this... Marijuana..?" Dustin asked as we all looked around.

"Yeah it sure is. And we will get murdered if we get found in here, lets go!" We got out of the bunker, running through the woods and down a few hills to get as far away from that bunker as we could. Out of breath we all stopped at the side of the highway, near where I parked my car.

"You know, I am really happy there were no monsters, because I was not in the mood today." I looked over at Mike.

"You have moods for dealing with Monsters?" He shrugged and continued holding El's hands. I bet she cuddles him and no one gives him shit. I sighed. We all piled in my car and I started the drive to drop everyone off at home.

"Steve. Can I ask you a question?" I looked over at Dustin.

"Oh god, what?" He smiled.

"So when Y/n is caressing your hair.."

"Okay that's enough!" He started laughing as well as everyone else in the car.

"I think they looked cute together!" I looked at Max, and smiled at her from the rear view mirror.

"Thank you Max! I appreciate that."

"I mean, not every guy can be super manly you know?" Dustin burst into laughter and I changed my smile into a glare.

"I am too manly!"

"The fact that you have to try and prove to us that you are manly means you definitely are not.." I hate these kids. So much.

Dropping off the kids we finally got back to Y/n and El's house.

"Thanks for driving Steve.." She smiled.

"Of course El." I walked in the house behind her and watched as she made her way to her room, I made my way to Y/n's room.

"Babe?" She didn't move from her bed, with her back facing me I assumed she was asleep by this point. I took off my shoes and walked to her bed, crawling under the covers I wrapped my arms around her and felt her back against my chest.

"Any monsters?" I laughed lightly.

"Not tonight, just a lot of weed..." She turned and looked at me.

"Weed you said?"

"Oh knock it off!" She giggled and placed her head on my chest and she shut her eyes.

I bet no one would make fun of her being cuddled. Hey Steve if you're scared Y/n will cuddle you.. I shook my head to remove the thought from my head. Kids these days.
