Meeting Steve Harrington (X Reader)

024

"Yea yea even with it staring you in the face, you cant admit it, you just cant admit that you're wrong you little butthead" I sit up right "Steve" I mumble. I get up from Eddie and walk out "Steve?" I turn and see him standing on the other side of the rock.

"Steve of my god!" I sprint to him and fall into his arms, wrapping mine tightly around him as he does the same "baby" he holds me close, stroking my hair as my head lays on his chest. "god you're freezing" he pushes back, taking his sweatshirt off and pulling it over my head "there" he says while pulling me back in for a hug.

Everything felt right in this exact moment, its this moment where I knew, Steve was my everything, hes all I could want and need and so so much more. My arms start to warm up as his warm sweatshirt covers me.

"You Dustin Henderson are a total butthead" Eddie jumps down behind us "Jesus we thought you were a goner" Dustin walks and gives Eddie a hug, catching him off guard. "Yea me too man, me too" he hugs him back...

We all sit down on the ground, getting ready to explain what had happened. "And then he just flew up from the water, bones cracking and shit, his eyes caved in and his body just fell back down" Eddie explains as I sit in silence. "I got us back to, I tried calling you guys but uh my walkie was busted so we ran here" he drinks some water.

"I'll tell you, it was even more difficult having this dead weight to pull around to" he raises an eyebrow at me. "I had just seen that happen, for the first time, in water which I was already terrified off and you know that" I snap at him. "I was fucking scared Eddie" I lean back into Steve as he rubs my arm.

"she wouldn't let me give her my jacket, thought you'd beat me up" he says to Steve "Yea, yea fair enough" he nods back. "okay, what time did all this happen" Nancy asks, Eddie takes his watch off and throws it at her "watch got busted during it" he sips more water.

"Vecna, our lights going crazy was him using his power on Patrick" everyone nods "we need to get into the upside down and kill him" Max says, I look up at her and frown "that's crazy", "its our only choice... I wish El was here" Max responds while sitting beside Lucas. 

"I was right!! Skull rock was north" Dustin shouts at Steve "are you serious? this right here is skull rock, you're totally, absolutely 100% wrong right now" Steve shouts back at him. "This compass worked correctly when we left the Wheelers, is started to slip the further east we went" he starts to explain.

"The compass was wrong", "its faulty equipment you were still wrong" Steve throws his hands around trying to prove a point. "Lucas, remember what can affect a compass?" Dustin turns to ask"An electromagnetic field..." Lucas stands up

"So either there's a super big magnet around here or-", "or there's a gate" Lucas finishes the sentence. "Whats going on" Eddie whispers "No idea" I shrug and continue to listen.

"Theres a gate somewhere, we have to find it, get to Vecna and free Max from this curse" Dustin starts to walk away from us "Where are you going??" Steve stands up "Eddie is a wanted man we cant go walking around the woods", "This is the key to saying both Max and Eddie" Dustin stops again

"I say you're asking me to follow you into Mordor" I roll my eyes as Eddie starts to talk in D&D language. "Which if im totally straight with you, I think is a really bad Idea, but uh the Shire is burning" he stands himself up "So Mordor it is" he brushes the dirt from his pants. 

"What?" Steve turns and asks "hes saying yea lets go" I reply while picking myself up from the ground beside him.

"Oh no, no no no" I groan as we reach the body of water again. "Yea, yea its in there", "There has to be an opening in the lake" Steve says. "Theres only one way to find out" Eddie says as he unveils the same boat again. 

"Alright come on" Eddie says as him and Steve hold the boat in place. "Im just gunna-" Robbin grabs both their heads and steps into the boat first. "Y/n" Eddie says turning to look at me "Maybe I should stay with Max..." I say "No, I will, ill stay" Nancy speaks up. "Great.." I groan and get into the boat, sitting beside Robbin. 

Eddie and Steve step in after. "Woah" Eddie stops Dustin from getting in "this boat holds 3, max" He says while sitting down. "This is my theory!", "Just, give us the compass and watch Max, you guys stay together" Steve says as Dustin throws the compass at him. 

Eddie and Steve grab the oars and start rowing the boat. I close my eyes and try to pretend im not in the middle of a lake right now "you okay y/l/n" Eddie asks but I stay quiet. "Y/n" Steve says "what, im fine just do whatever" I keep my eyes closed. 

"Woah wait, the compass" Robin gets Steve and Eddie to stop the boat. "Its going crazy" I say as I look over at it. Steve starts to take his shoes and socks off in the boat "Steve what are you doing" I say looking at him with a frown.

"Somebodys gotta go and check this thing out, unless one of you three can top being Hawkins high swim co captain and a certified life guard for three years, so its gotta be me no complaints" he stands himself up rocking the boat "Hey im not complaining" Eddie shrugs "well I am, Steve no this is stupid" I stand up opposite him "Woah okay the boat" Robin holds on.

He lifts his arms, taking his t shirt off, I smirk to myself slightly as he undresses himself, exposing his amazing body. Eddie wraps up a torch and passes it to him "good luck" he looks up to Steve. "Steve don't" I say grabbing his arm. "Ill be back its fine, stay put" I let out a sigh as I watch my boyfriend jump into the water. 

"oh god" I sit back and cover my face. "he'll be fine we just have to wait" Robin says placing her hand on my shoulder. "He best be because im terrified of water and I will not be able to save him" I groan. 

"Come on come on" I say while biting at my nails. Before I knew it, there was a huge splash as Steve comes back up. "I found it" he says out of breath. "Seriously?" Robin quickly asks "okay come on get back in the boat" I put my hand out for him to grab.

"Its pretty damn big" he laughs. I go to grab his hand but we all let out a scream as he is dragged back into the water. "Steve!!" I stand up and shout. "Oh my god" Eddie shouts. I stand up, looking over the water, putting my feet to the edge of the boat.

"Wait wait wait, you're not going in there are you" Eddie grabs my arm "my boyfriend just got dragged down there you're crazy if you think im staying here" I turn back to Eddie.

"You're terrified of water" he says "Yea but I love Steve" I turn back, I take a deep breath in before jumping into the lake. 

"Great, now I have to get wet" Eddie stands up, jumping into the lake right behind me. "Im not staying here alone" Robbin is next to dive in.
