It felt so incredibly right. Being in Steve's arms.
For both of them.
It felt right that he was holding her and comforting her and that she was being comforted by him.
It was like they forgot about everything that happened and instead were only focusing on each other- on Will. Even if he was no longer with them.
It all just felt surreal to Ophelia.
"I just... can't believe he's actually gone."
"I'm sorry. I know how much you loved the kid."
"He was like my little brother," she smiled softly, pulling away to look up at him, "My own little made up family. Hopper as my dad. Joyce as my mom. Will and Jonathan... you. Now it just feels like it's all falling apart."
"It's not," he tried to reassure her, "Even if Will isn't here physically, he's here in spirit. He'll always be watching over you. We'll all always be there for you."
"Yeah? Even when you have a family of your own?"
"Especially then. Cause it'll be our family."
"Steve," she gave him a look.
He shook his head though, "There's Steve and Ophelia Jr, Farrah-"
"You are not naming a kid after your hair spray."
"Farrah Faucet is a human too, you know- and she has a great name."
"If you're going to name a kid after a celebrity- how about Olivia Newton-John?"
"Oh, so you want me to sing Grease right now?"
"Steve!" She laughed once she realized he was getting up to do just that, "Stop it!"
"Since when have you ever been able to resist Grease?" he gave her a playful look when she tried to tug him down.
"Steve Harrington-" she was cut off with a squeal when he pulled her up instead.
He sang to her, swaying them back and forth. She only watched him, not really knowing what to say or how to react, the two just staring at each other once he realized the position they were in.
"Ophelia-"
He was cut off by the fire alarm going off, making her sigh. She didn't even have to be with the kids to know they were behind it.
"I gotta go. See you... around."
Steve stood there in disbelief while Ophelia ran off, not wanting to let him and her emotions get in the way of protecting those boys and apparently the strange new girl too.
"What the hell did you guys do?" she looked at the passed out girl worriedly.
