Cigarettes & Jasmine - steddie

Dustin put a hand on Steve's shoulder, "Are you okay?"

Steve didn't know what to say...

He wasn't okay...a guy who he thought he had not one connection to only to have the biggest connection to was dead and he was only now feeling it.

And he'd also be only the second person he'd ever tell "I love you" to

And he could blame the drugs but he knows it wasn't that...

"I-I'm fine Dustin..." it takes him a lot to say it but he does, also adding a smile even though it's painful and it's fake.

Dustin stares at him but doesn't ask further, handing him an envelope, "Well okay, this is the letter."

"Oh..."

"Do you know what it contains?"

"I do, not the nitty gritty but a big factor of it I have a bit of a hunch about but if I told you Eddie told me that he'd kill me and I'm not in the mood for a haunting..."

Steve rolls his eyes.

"Dustin don't be so dramatic..." And Steve's about to open the letter but Dustin puts his hand out, "Actually...Steve..."

Steve finds himself stuck in a time loop which leaves him questioning exactly the reason why and who exactly is doing this to him and it just so happens that a raven haired metalhead is his best bet on finding out what's going on.
