~20~ Sweet Snow Ball

Steve drives up to the Middle School that Dustin goes to. I'm sitting in the backseat while the two boys sit in the front.

Tonight is the school Snow Ball for them. All of the kids will be going to it. Dustin even had his hair nice and sprayed into a cool looking style while he wore like a mini tuxedo.

"All right, buddy, here we are."

He stops the car in front of the school where I look up at it. Nancy stands there working for drinks while Jonathan is doing the pictures. This is nice. Dustin looks toward it.

"So, remember, once you get in there..."

I smirk as Steve gives Dustin his little tips and tricks.

"Pretend like I don't care." Dustin nods.

Probably bad advice, but Dustin is Dustin and Steve is Steve.

"You don't care."

"I don't care."

"There you go. You're learning, my friend. You're leaning." Steve acknowledges.

Dustin adjusts the rearview mirror which I wink at him. He smiles.

"Hey." Steve says a little annoyed.

"What?" Dustin asks.

"You look great, okay?" I grin sitting forward between the two boys.

"You look...you look great." Steve agrees. "Okay? Now you're gonna go in there..."

"Yeah."

"Look like a million bucks."

"Yeah!"

"And you're gonna slay 'em dead."

"Like a lion." Dustin turns to him. He suddenly does this weird gurgle purr thing and me and Steve hesitate. I cringe slightly and sit back. Steve gives him this strange look.

"Yeah-Don't do that, okay?"

"Okay." Dustin responds.

Steve holds out his hand and Dustin shakes it. "Good luck."

Dustin nods silently before getting out the car and shutting the door. Steve turns to me silently, smirks then looks back to Dustin who leaves into the Ball.

Steve lets out a sigh and I suddenly notice that he's seeing Nancy through that window. I huff.

"Hey."

He suddenly flips his head back to me and I put a hand on his shoulder to console him. 

"It'll be alright. You'll be okay."

I pat his shoulder with my hand and his glassy eyes become loving. He smiles at me with such generosity.

"Thanks, Y/n. Wanna get in the front seat?"

"Sure."

I hop out the car, shut the door and enter the passenger seat.

"You know you could've just come through the back right?"

"Yeah, but I didn't want to ruin your car."

"Y/N!" He laughs. "You're more important and special than my car."

"I-"

He suddenly leans in to kiss me. It catches me off guard which gives me butterflies before I kiss back. I sit a bit closer as his hand goes to my cheek and I lean into his touch. We're kissing for a bit of time now and we finally pull away for air, leaning our foreheads against each others.
