Camp on Lovers lake

Story by: lexpete!
Ever since you all were little shits you have spent all your spare time in the Byers' living room. It started just as you, Nancy, Jonathan, Robin and Steve. Eddie and Argyle have joined in recent years. It's the perfect friend group, you don't have to pretend to be someone you're not because no one cares, it's just carefree. You've always had a crush on Steve even if it was in the back of your head it's always kinda been there, but you have always been too scared to make a move or say something because you guys are best friends. You don't wanna lose that. Eddie and Robin are the only two that know, sometimes you definitely question why them two out of everyone, of course you trust them both with your whole heart but Robin has this thing where she doesn't- stop-talking and Eddie lets just say doesn't have the best poker face. The amount of times Robin has almost accidently told Steve is unimaginable.

Like every school break, you guys move from the dimly lit Byers living room into tents and camping chairs on lovers lake. "Honey Steves here!" your mom calls from downstairs, you jog down the stairs to see Steve having a chat with your mom "hey (Y/N)" hey looks over to you with a warm smile that feels like a warm bear hug. "Need some help with bags?" he asks walking towards you "yeh that would be great Steve thanks" you walk back to your room and watch as he picks up your camping chair and guitar while you get your two backpacks. Once the car is packed you hop into the passenger seat and wave bye to your mom "be safe I love you!" she calls out "don't have to worry Mrs (L/N) she's safe with me" Steve gives your mum a warm reassuring smile to which your mom smiles back and shakes her head. You feel yourself start to blush. The crush has gotten even more intense lately as youre spending more time with him and Robin at FamilyVideo, it's ridiculous you just feel stupid so you push it to the back of your mind and take a deep breath.

You look over to Steve whose hair is being combed by the evening's cool air, tapping his fingers on the wound down window to More Than a Feeling by Boston, it feels like you're in a dream, even though you have done this drive many times. You and Steve arrive just a little after Eddie and Robin, "hey guys" Eddie comes up to us smirking and nudging my arm with his pointy elbow to which I just glare at him "hey Eddie how's the setting up coming along?" Steve looks around to the four large dimly lit tents "I think it's basically all set up, Buckly organised tent roomies so just find your names and unpack" Eddie winks at you and Steve turning on his heels to go help robin set up the warm toned fairy lights around our little campsite. You look over to Steve who's trying to find both your names "looks like you're stuck with me for a week (L/N)" Steve says with a big grin hands resting on his hips "oh how will I survive" you pretend to faint.

You and Steve bring both all the bags from the car and start to unpack, you throw your pillow and blankets onto your mini mattress "your stuff always looks so much comfier" you look behind you to Steve, hands on hips looking like a disappointed toddler he smiles turning around. You and Steve walk over to the bonfire Jonathan started and set up your camp chairs next to each other, "hey (Y/N) wanna give me a hand with dinner" Nancy calls out from the other side of the fire "yeah of course". You look over to Steve who's talking to Robin well, shushing her, she looks really excited and happy about what they seem to be talking about.

You and Nancy bring dinner over on paper plates and hand a plate to everyone, Argyle and Jonathan dig right in, having the munchies as per usual. "Damn look at you, ok wife material" Robin smiles as she takes her plate "I know right" you laugh as you sit and hand Steve his plate "oooo this looks so gooddddd," he says licking his lips. It is silent as you all eat after a long afternoon of driving and setting up, "holy shit dude that was soooo good" argyle says going to get thirds for him and Jonathan to which you all laugh and shake your heads to. You all head to your tents (Eddie and Robin) , (Jonathan, Nancy and Argyle) and (you and Steve).

Steve turns around to face the tent wall as you pull your checkered PJ pants and tank top on, you sit down on your mattress turning the lamp off, the fairy lights from outside softly lighting up your tent. You look up to see steves stretch back as he pulls his collard shirt off and pulls on tracksuit pants, you quickly look away trying not to turn into a tomato. You're looking down at your feet when all of a sudden you feel your mattress getting dragged to the other side of the tent right against Steve's mattress, making it one bed. "that's better isn't it" Steve says dusting his hands off with a smile "you're an idiot Harrington," you say just smiling back up to him, you see him start to go Rosey but he doesn't seem to care he just sits down next to you and pulls the blanket over him and throws some over you.
