I Love You, I'm Sorry // Steve Harrington x Reader

"Do you hear that?"

Song - Tears Over Beers - Modern Baseball

Another day another boring day filled with slicing bananas, scooping ice cream, and serving customers. That is until I hear a peculiar conversation happening outside between Robin and a customer.

Steve walks in from the storage room with more bananas humming a tune and I push my finger against my lips.

"Shhh." I whisper and he shrugs his shoulders at me coming closer, sitting across the table.

"What?" He hisses at me.

"Do you hear that?"

"No I, wait-"

"Is that-" he gets up from the table quickly-his chair failing onto the ground behind him and I race him to the door.

He flings it open and throws his arms up in the air before I push him out of the door frame and throw mine up. I pull him up from the ground and both our arms are up.

"Henderson." He squeals and we all giggle.

"He's back! He's back!" I laugh and follow Steve's footsteps to in front of the counter.

"I'm back. Ya'll got the job!"

"We got the job!" We scream and Steve plays fake trumpet.

Steve does his handshake with Dustin and I watch, a smile plastered to my face. I look over and spot Robin giving me a weird look and I wipe the smile off.

"How many children are you two friends with?" She judges and Steve just gestures to her in a 'look what I have to deal with' kind of way.

We both work on making Dustin a banana split and he finds a table.

Steve grabs the dish and I grab the spoon and we are on our way to Dustin where he starts talking about his new girlfriend.

"I swear Steve. Shes hotter than Phoebe Cates!"

"No way! Hotter than phoebe Cates?"

"Brilliant. And she doesn't even care that my real pearls are still coming in. She says kissing is better with no teeth." Steve nods and looks utterly shocked so I swoop in and save him.

"That's good Dustin! I remember you were so upset about Max and stuff! You found someone!"

"Yeah now it's just you twos turn to find someoene." Now I'm awkwardly nodding.

"Wow um- that's great. I'm proud of you man." Steve quickly changes the subject.

"So do you two really just get to eat as much of this as you want."

"Yeah I mean sure. It's not really a good idea for me though I mean I gotta keep in shape for the ladies." Steve flatters himself.

"Yeah and how's that working out for you?" Robin quips.

"Ignore her." He turns to Dustin.

"She seems cool." Dustin shrugs leaving Steve annoyed.

"She's not. So uh where are the other knuckle heads?" Steve asks and I sit up in my seat.

"Yeah! Speaking of Max! Where is she? And El, I miss them. I spend my days in this hell pit."

"They ditched me yesterday."

"No..." Steve is shocked and so am I.

"My first day back. Can you believe that shit?"

"Woah, seriously?" He leans forward.

"I swear to god. They're gonna regret it though. Big time. When they don't get to share in my glory."

"Glory?" I scrunch my eyebrows.
