This story will continue from the part when keifer returns from London. However, there will be twist and turns as I will add my own ideas in the story. Although some scenes and dialogues will be as same as they are in the original story. All credits to Lara Flores.

SECRET OF US, 𝒔. 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒕𝒐𝒏 by malfoysdork

"WONDER IF YOU 𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐓 THE 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓 OF US?" As far as Ruby Kline is concerned, Steve Harrington doesn't exist, and according to him she's just a ditzy blonde who can't hold her tongue. But as they get caught up in fighting inter-dimensional monsters, their hatred for each other doesn't stand a chance-and neither do the secrets they're keeping. Because feelings are messy, but secrets are messier. [ STEVE HARRINGTON X OC, SEASONS 1-5 ]
