Cold - Steve Harrington x Fem!Reader

The bell on the door to Family Video rang as she entered. From the doorway she could see Robin standing behind the desk on the phone, her face lighting up when she saw her and she gave her a wave in greeting. She’d come to meet Steve, who should be finishing his shift soon, but looking around the store she was unable to see him.

Turning her gaze back to Robin who seemed to be able to sense what she was doing, pointed to the break room towards the back of the store all the while the phone was still pressed to her ear. She mouthed a thank you to her before heading in the direction Robin had pointed.

The door to the break room was partially open and through the gap she saw Steve, his back to the door as he fussed with something she couldn’t see on the counter top in front of him. Silently as she could she made her way into the room but he still heard her but because he didn’t turn around she guessed that he assumed it was Robin.

“I told you I’ll be out in a minute” he huffed, confirming her suspicions and she tried not to laugh as she snuck up behind him. Deciding to scare him, she thought quickly on what to do because if she left it too long then he’d turn around to see why he got no reply and she’d miss her chance. Then remembering she’d just come in from the cold and because she’d manage to lose her gloves earlier in the week, her hands were like ice. 

“Holy fucking shit” Steve yelled at the sudden icy touch snaking it’s way up the back of his shirt. “Robin I swear” he begins to threaten as he turns to face the culprit, though his words falter when he comes face to face with her instead and his whole body softens immediately when he sees the grin on her face and her shoulders shaking with her silent laughter. He breathes a quiet gasp of her name as he shakes his head at her as she finally dissolves into laughter unable to hide it.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it” she says through her laughter and Steve can’t help the grin that tugs at his lips, unable to hide it even if he tries.

“I swear it’s a good job I love you” he relents as he pulls her into a hug, the feeling of concern filling him when he realises it’s not only her hands that are cold. Despite the coat and scarf she has on, he can feel the cold lingering on her skin and when she tucks her head into the crook of his neck he can’t help the gasp that escapes him as her cold nose touches his skin. “Baby you’re like ice, did you walk over here” he asks, pulling back from her and gazing down at her with those big brown eyes that make her melt.

She nods slowly, disappointed that he pulled back from the hug and took his warmth with him. “You gonna warm me up?” she hums, sticking her bottom lip out at him and looking up at him with the best puppy dog eyes she can muster, knowing that he can never say no when she does.

“Oh yeah and how do you expect me to do that?” he teases, eyebrow raised in amusement as she pretends to think.

Raising up on her toes, she lets a hand slide up his chest until it reaches his neck where it curls around the back of it so that she can pull him down the rest of the way to meet her. “I have a few ideas” she whispers, her lips brushing against his lips as she speaks before she presses them together more firmly as they mould together in a kiss. Seemingly forgetting where they are, Steve lets his hands wander from where they are rested against her hips and over the swell of her ass which he uses as leverage to pull her closer to him.

A cough from the doorway pulls them apart, both of them blinking slowly as they come back to their senses, a blush spreading across her skin when she realises that they’ve been caught making out in the break room of his job. “Just thought I’d let you know that Keith just turned up for his shift so I suggest you wrap this up before he fires you for inappropriate behaviour” Robin scolds Steve, who hangs his head, knowing that she was right. “And I suggest you get out front before we both get in trouble for allowing you back here” she adds, turning to you as she motions between herself and Steve.

Feeling like two children who have been caught doing something they shouldn’t, they both nod and as she makes her way out of the room she hears him mutter to Robin. “Thanks I owe you one” and she doesn’t know why but it makes her smile, probably because she knew the friends he used to have back in school and Robin is by far so much better than they were which warms her heart knowing that he’s got some great people by his side now.

Heading towards the romance section, she tries to look as inconspicuous as possible as Keith enters the store. Whether it works or not is doubtful as she catches the suspicious look that he shoots her as he makes his way to the break room, passing by Robin who flashes him a smile as she stands behind the desk again. While Steve, who she assumes was trying to look like he was busy, comes out of the back room with a box of tapes in his hand as he pretends he hadn’t even realised the time when Keith tells him he can go.

While Steve is collecting his things, she bids Robin a goodbye and silently thanks her before she makes her way out of the store just minutes before Steve follows her out. She meets him by his car, arms open wide as he gets closer and he smiles as he falls into them, placing a short sweet kiss to her lips. “So my house or yours?” he asks as if the answer is going to be any different to what it usually is.

“Well if you want to finish what you started then you know where to go” she winks, leaving him with no chance to say anything else as she climbs into the car, giggling as she watches him sprint around to the drivers side.
