Never Have I Ever [Steddie]✔️

Chapter 8

"Nance, we need to talk." Steve sighed. They were laying on Nancy's bed listening to music, and Steve wasn't wearing a shirt, and he could feel his girlfriend checking him out when he wasn't looking. "Ya?" She sat up. "I..." he swallowed, sitting up as well. "I've been sleeping with someone else..." he whispered, looking down. Nancy made an audible gasp, staring at him in shock. "Get up." "What?"

"Get off my bed." Her voice was calm and clear, and Steve was kind of scared. He scrambled off the bed and stood by the door. She stood too and walked up to him. "Nance I'm sorry-" she slapped him across the face, and he winced. "I deserved that." She slapped him again on the other cheek, and he cursed. "What was that one for!?" He gritted his teeth. "For being such a douchebag! Now get out!!" She pointed at her door. "Alright alright, I'm leaving." He opened the door. "Can I at least have my shirt?" "OUT!" She pulled off her shoe and started hitting him with it. "I'm going! Stop hitting me!" He ran down the stairs, dodging the shoe, which she had launched at his head. He ran through the kitchen, rubbing his sore arm. "Bye Mrs. Wheeler!" He called as he ran out the door. "Nancy, why is there a boy running through my house?!" "He was just leaving!!!" She yelled from the top of the stairs.

Steve was walking down the sidewalk with his arms crossed, quite embarrassed that he didn't have his shirt. "You need a ride, pretty boy?" Eddie's van pulled up beside him, and he rolled down his window. "Depends, what kind of ride are  you offering?" Steve asked sarcastically. "Whoa there, keep it in your pants Harrington. You just look cold and I'll pass your house on my way so I thought I'd give you a hand. I owe you one after the groceries." "You still remember that?" Steve opened the passenger door and climbed in.

"Course' I do. Why are you walking down the street half naked anyway?" He drove in the direction of Steve's house. "Broke up with my girlfriend, she wouldn't give me my shirt back." He shrugged. "Well, she kind of broke up with me." he sighed. "That sucks man, you guys seemed really happy." Eddie whispered. "She was..." Steve swallowed, and Eddie peeked at him curiously. "But You weren't?" "Nah, I don't love her anymore." "Why not?" Eddie licked his lips. "Because,  I love someone else." Steve scratched the back of his neck. "Really? Who might this guy be?" Eddie grinned. "Mm, tall, hot, long hair, a crazy dumbass. You think you know him?" "Maybe." They got to Steve's house and Eddie didn't even ask to come in, just followed Steve into the house. As soon as the door was shut their lips were together, Steve picking Eddie up by the hips and wrapping his legs around his waist. They quickly made their way up the stairs and to Steve's bedroom, laughing when he tripped and almost fell. Eventually they made it to his room, shutting the door behind them.

The next morning, Steve didn't approach Eddie at school, but he did wink at him when their eyes met In the cafeteria, and the metal-head blushed. Steve wasn't sure where they stood, but he was ready to give up, and forgive him for all the shit he'd put him through, hopefully. Tommy noticed his smile as they ate lunch, and raised an eyebrow. "Your awfully chipper this morning." He observed. "Just feel like it's going to be a good day." He shrugged. "Ya, alright. Something is definitely up. What happened Steve?" Steve had forgotten how easily Tommy could read him. "I told Nancy I was sleeping with someone else. She threw her shoe at me." He scrunched up his face. "Was that all?" Tommy raised an eyebrow. "No..." Steve sighed. "I had rebound sex with Eddie." He admitted. "What?! I thought you were over that asshole?" Tommy gasped, putting his fork down. "I thought so too! But Nancy had just kicked me out and he drove me home and he was just so nice..." he trailed off. "You're so hopeless Steve! Does he know about..." he leaned forward. "Us?" he whispered. "No! I promised I wouldn't tell anyone. And it was just a fling, nothing else, ok?" Steve sighed.

Tommy just looked at him like he was being ridiculous. "You're still in LOVE with him Steve, anyone with eyes can see it. Why don't you just talk to him?" Tommy shoved his arm a little bit. "Are you cool If I did? We'd have to stop... you know." Steve frowned. "I know, and I'm ok with that. As long as you're happy, I won't mind. And I can always find someone else to fuck by tomorrow anyway," He teased. Steve smiled, his heart fluttering at the brief moment of affection Tommy showed. He didn't show it often, but those were Steve's favorite moments. "Ok, tomorrow I'll talk to him. Thank you Tommy." "No problem. You know I love you, right?" He whispered. "I know, I... I love you too, Tom." Even though they both knew  it was a lie, they pretended it was true for a moment, looking into each other's eyes, smiling. "Thank you, for being there when I needed you. We'll always be best friends, right?" He asked. "Always." Tommy assured him.

Have a good day :)
