Pretend You Don't Care

Then he meets Steve who loves ABBA and catches him humming the songs he refused to listen to after his mother left. Naturally he doesn’t say anything because Steve’s voice is sweet and… Then he stops thinking of the hurt when he hears the sugary sounds of the Swedish pop group and starts to associate it with Steve instead.

128. Hmmm. After work. :D

For Steve, sex is about as adventurous as smoking, so not at all. Police in Hawkins can’t be bother to do any kind of work unless you bother them for hours, so nobody’s patrolling make-out spots or showing up at parties, unless they’re like. Way too loud. Mostly, it’s peaceful coexistence. And since Steve’s parents are rarely home, many parties are held here.

So, Steve used to slowly fucking in the bed, long evenings and morning spend just chilling and healing hangovers and making out. There’s never any rush. He actually had boys in his bed before.

When Billy and Steve hook up for the first time, Steve is confident and steady and calm where Billy is jittery and nervous. Billy’s shocked and appalled that this fucking hillybilly is more experienced than him.

You know they ended up fighting ‘cause Billy heard what Billy wants to hear.

make me choose ⇢ @samsgamgees asked steve or jonathan?

“I don’t care, I’m in love.”

“Stop before it’s too late.”  

“It’s gonna stay with me, I’ll let desire be.”

“I will not vanish and you will not scare me.”

“Oh, dare I face the real world.”

“Why I ever tried, I don’t know.”

“It’s been so long since I held your hand.”

“You don’t know how hard it can be.”

“I’ve let too much of it slide through my fingers.”

“Wondering what I’ll say when they want the truth.”

“I would speak up but I wouldn’t know what to say.”

“Don’t make friends for friendship’s sake.”

“Decisions are approaching, reality in motion.“

“The only one who’s really judging you is yourself.”

“You will never come close to how I feel.”

“It’s way too real, I’m way too sober.“

“Everything you ever told me could have been a lie.”

“There is time. Go to sleep, you’ll be fine.”

“Are you too terrified to try your best?“

“I caught a glimpse, I’m going after it.”

“If only there could be another way to do this.”

“It feels like murder, to put your heart through this.”

“I felt the strangest emotion but it wasn’t hate, for once.”  

“I know it’s hard to describe, so how will I know that it’s right?”

“I just don’t know where the hell I belong.”

“Better late than never, just don’t make me wait forever.”

“Oh my love, can’t you see yourself by my side?”

“Don’t suppose you could convince your lover to change his mind…”

“There’s a world out there and it’s calling my name.”

“But if I never come back, tell my mother I’m sorry.”

“I was still unsure, but it’s something I’m used to.”

“I can tell by your face, no one’s ever been rude to you.”

“I had no idea, what that feeling could do to you.”

“I know I always said that I could never hurt you…”

“I’m just pathetic, that’s the reason why.”

“I was doing fine without you, until I saw your eyes turn away from mine.”

“I can just hear them now, ‘How could you let us down?’”      

“They say people never change, but that’s bullshit, they do.”

“If you don’t think it’s a crime you can come along, with me.”

“Put your arms around me, I can sense you doubt me.”  

“They’re all doing so well. What I would give, to be under that spell…”

“Then I heard they slept together. Oh, the less I know the better.”

“I’m playing a part, as somebody else. While trying so hard, to be myself.”

“I know you don’t think it’s right. I know that you think it’s fake, maybe fake’s what I like.”  

“Said you wouldn’t be home late tonight, I gave up waiting at seventeen past midnight.”
