Better babysitter // Steve Harrington x Reader //

We gathered at the table, Eddie was in the middle, and the rest of us were around him. He slammed the book on the table, opening the page with a picture of a man holding guns and " The War Zone" written all over it. "Check this out," Eddie said proudly, showing the picture of the man on the paper. "The War Zone. I've been there once. It's huge. They got everything you need for uh...well, killing things, basically."

"I'm sorry, why were you there again?" I asked Eddie as I couldn't believe that he was able to get into the store.

"This is not the time to ask stupid questions Y/N." Eddie shifted his eyes toward me and then sighed. "I was there because of my uncle," He paused."...no other reason." He explained but I didn't believe him.

"You think fake Rambo has enough guns there?" Robin asked, pointing at the picture. "Is that a grenade? I mean, how is any of this legal?"

"Well,...we do live in America." I looked at Robin who gave me a look of understanding. 

Eddie ignored us and continued to talk about his plan."This...this place is just far enough outside of Hawkins. As long as we steer clear of main roads, we oughta be able to avoid cops and, uh, angry hicks."

"If we're trying to avoid angry hicks, maybe we shouldn't go to some store called the War Zone," Erica said.

"Normally, I'd agree, but we need the weapons. So I think it's worth the risk." Nancy crossed her arms, still looking at the picture.

"Me too." Lucas agreed with Nancy.

"But is it worth the time?" Dustin asked. "It'll take all day to bike there and back."

"Who said anything about bikes?" Eddie said, looking at Dustin.

"You got some car we don't know about?" Steve looked at Eddie confused.

"It's not exactly a car, Steve." Eddie smiled as we looked at him even more confused. "And it's not exactly mine, but uh... it'll do." He turned his head to look at Max. "Hey, Red." He called. "You got a ski mask or a bandanna, something like that?"

Max was thinking for a second but then her eyebrows raised as if she had an idea. "Yeah, I think that I have something like that." She smiled.

We put a Michael Myers mask on Eddie and went along with the plan. We were behind a trailer and  Eddie was at the front of the group, making sure that it was safe for us to proceed with the plan. He signaled to us that it was safe and it was time to go. Eddie started to run, carefully as to not be seen as we hurried behind him. We ran to the other side of the trailer park. I saw a couple listening to the radio and prayed that they hadn't spotted us.

We got to the assigned trailer, Eddie opened the window and plopped right inside it. I was next to go as Steve helped me get in. The next one to get in was Steve who got in without help. He went to Eddie as I helped the kids get in. "Erica grab my hand," I whispered to Erica as I noticed that she was struggling to get in duo to her height. 

"Pfft, I don't need your help." Erica sassed.

"Don't be a brat and let me help you," I whispered angrily. She looked at me defeated and took my arm. "See, it's not bad to let someone help you."

"Shut up, nerd," Erica said as she went to sit down. 

"Ouch." Robin looked at me before placing her arm on my shoulder. "Can't believe this kid is beating you down. You know, if you need any help with bullying eleven-year-olds I am always down to help you."

"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind." My eyes shifted to Eddie who was in the driver's seat. "Eddie I don't think it's a good idea for you to drive," I said before walking over to him and Steve.

"Oh, I'm just starting this sucker. Harrington's got her. Don't ya, big boy?" Eddie smiled cutely at Steve as we looked at each other confused. Suddenly Eddie managed to start the car, the loud music from the radio scared me for a second but I was happy that we could drive.

"Hey!" I heard someone screaming outside. "They locked the door!" The owners yelled at us as they banged on the glass window.

"Shit, Steve take Eddie's seat!" I panicked as I sat in the passenger seat.

Steve jumped in the seat and panicked. "Everybody, hang on to something!" He shouted as the group settled into their seats.

"Drive, Steve, drive!" Dustin yelled, holding onto the seat for his life. Steve listened and quickly pressed down on the pedals. The trailer started to move and the owners who were still banging on the window fell.

"Jesus Christ, stealing a trailer wasn't on my list for this year." I breathed heavily.

"Shit they look pissed," Dustin said, looking outside the window at the owners.

"It's not every day you lose your house and your car in one fell swoop," Robin said as she held onto her seat so she wouldn't fall. 

"Hold on! Hold on!" Steve warned us as he took a sudden turn to the left, hitting the trash cans and making us all shift to the side.

The rest of the ride was relaxing as we stayed silent and listened to music on the radio. I looked at Steve who was concentrating on the road and decided to break the silence. "So how is it driving a house?"

"Not bad." He smiled before looking at me.

"Hey, eyes on the road." I joked as he quickly focused his eyes on the empty road.

"It's silly, but I...I've actually...I always had this dream that I'd have this really...really big family." Steve started to talk as I focused on his words. "I'm talking, like, uh, a full brood of Harringtons. Like, five, six kids."

My eyes widened. "Whoa Steve, I don't know if I can handle six kids." I laughed, as he looked softly at me but quickly focused back on the road.

"Why not? We'll have six little nuggets." He said making me laugh. "Don't laugh, we'll have three girls and three boys." I hummed as I listened to the rest. "Anyway, every summer, I figured all of us Harringtons, we would pack into something like this and just...see the country. You know, the Rockies, Grand Canyon, maybe Yellowstone. End up in some beachside town in California."

I smiled as I listened to his words, imagining a future with him and our kids. "That sounds amazing."

"Yeah?" 

"Yeah." I nodded. "After all this ends, let's go somewhere far...just the two of us."

"And what about the six little nuggets?" Steve joked, making me slightly blush at the thought of us making kids.

"The nuggets will have to wait. I don't know if I'm ready for six of them."

"That was just a thought," Steve reassured. "We'll have as many as you want."

I thought about handling six kids at once, not thinking I would be able to do that. "We'll start with one and then we'll see if we can handle five more."

"Sounds great." Steve smiled. "So we're starting with the nuggets when this is over?"

I blushed at his words. "Nothing without a ring on my finger, Harrington."

"I'll keep that in mind, future lady Harrington." Steve joked back, making my cheeks redder.

"I would kiss you right now,...but you are driving, so the kiss will have to wait."

"Ew get a room!" Erica yelled from the back seat, making Steve and I look at each other before bursting into a laugh.
