#4 Steve Harrington - The Asshole and the Sarcastic

Events taken place in this story falls under the events that took place in the ending of Season 4.

It all happened so fast. One moment, you were fighting off this creature from the Upside Down, then the next you were laying on your back, coughing up blood. The creature has got to you as well. It scratched and bit you to the point you were losing too much blood, causing you to now fight for your life. You were all alone, drifting in and out of conscious, your mind traveling to one thing.

Well.. one person.

Steve.

"Where are you, Steve?" you whispered to yourself, struggling to breathe. "I need you."

Tears start falling down your face as your mind goes back to that moment in the library, the day you and Steve first started talking.

*flashback*

Steve walks into the library looking for a certain book he needed for school. Coincidentally enough, the book happened to be on the shelf right where you were at.

Currently, you were just sitting down, leaning against the bookshelf behind you as you were finishing up some homework. You were just minding your own business when Steve decided to ruin that with his presence. You just decided to look up from what you were doing to just let this asshole ruin your day.

"Well, look who it is," you stated. "It's the infamous asshole of Hawkins High."

"Just here to get a book." Steve replied with.

"Yeah, well, listen," you began as you got up from where you were sitting. "You just had to ruin my day with your presence. So, I could care less if you're 'just here to get a book.'

"Yeah, well, I could care less if I 'just had to ruin your day,'" he quoted back at you.

You roll your eyes. "Whatever, asshole. See ya hopefully never." You start to walk away before turning back around and adding, "Oh and, don't think your undeniable charm and popularity, and your flawless hair is going to work on me. Because it won't. I know an asshole when I see one, so I hope you don't try anything on me like you're doing to Miss Golden Girl right now."

"Wasn't planning to Miss Sarcastic."

*end flashback*

This was what your interactions were like ever since that moment. They don't happen as much now as they did back then, but they still were a common interaction between you guys.

Now, you might die only to regret telling Steve the truth.

And what could this truth be?
It's that you were completely and utterly in love with him.

You hated how he was in love with Nancy. You hated how he tried to flirt and talk to other girls when you just want to say, "Why can't you see I'M the one you're looking for?!" You hated how he managed to fall in love with Robin, even though she came out as lesbian right after. Yeah, you were there. You were drugged along with them and became the third-wheel you never thought you would be. You hated how you had to watch Nancy and Steve rekindle their love for each other just not that long ago. And now, you hated that you might not be able to live another day not knowing if he ever felt the same way.

As tears start falling more freely down your face, you cry out, "STEVE!!" as loudly as you could. Maybe, just maybe he will hear.

He did.

He heard.

He heard and is now running in the direction of your cries.
