âterrible at lyingâ
pairing: steve harrington x fem!reader (spiderman au)
summary: you find out that heâs spiderman
warnings: just fluff, theyâre in a situationship
a/n: the new trailer inspired me :)
At first, it didnât make sense.
Not even a little.
Steve Harrington was many things âcharming, annoyingly pretty, chronically lateâ
âbut he was not Spider-Man.
He was the guy who complained about running. The guy who once said, very seriously, that âcardio is a scam.â The guy who got winded carrying groceries up two flights of stairs.
So no.
There was no way.
And yetâ
There were too many coincidences.
First, the pattern.
You didnât notice it all at once.
It started small.
Steve canceled plans.
A lot.
âSomething came up.â
âIâll make it up to you, I swear.â
âRain check?â
At first, you didnât care. You werenât serious.
That was kind of the whole point.
You and Steve were⊠something in between.
Late-night drives.
Shared fries.
Kisses that lasted a little too long but never got talked about after.
No labels.
No expectations.
No questions.
Until you started asking them anyway.
Because Steve didnât just cancel randomly.
He disappeared right before something happened.
Sirens in the distance.
News alerts on your phone.
Helicopters circling downtown.
And then, twenty minutes laterâ
Spider-Man spotted.
Every time.
Then, the first clue.
The first real crack in your denial came on a Tuesday.
You were sitting across from Steve in a diner, his milkshake melting as he talked about something you werenât really listening to.
ââŠand then Robin saysâare you even paying attention?â
âMm,â you hummed.
Your phone buzzed.
Breaking: attempted robbery downtown.
You frowned slightly.
âHey, isnât that like⊠five blocks from here?â
Steve stilled.
Just for a second.
Barely noticeable.
Then he grabbed his jacket.
âIâuh, I gotta go.â
You blinked.
âRight now?â
âYeah, Iâsomething came up.â
You narrowed your eyes.
âSteve.â
âWhat?â
âYou literally just said you had nothing to do tonight.â
He hesitated.
And thatâ
That was new.
ââŠI forgot something.â
âYou forgot something,â you repeated slowly.
âYeah.â
âFive blocks away. During a robbery.â
âOkay, when you say it like thatââ
âSteve.â
He was already standing.
âIâll call you, okay?â
âYou never call.â
âI will this time.â
You watched him leave.
Watched him jog out of the dinerâ
Jog.
Steve didnât jog.
Your stomach dropped.
You told yourself it was nothing.
For exactly one day.
Then you started paying attention.
Really paying attention.
You kept track.
Not in a creepy way.
Just⊠mentally.
Every time he disappeared
Every time Spider-Man showed up minutes later
It lined up too well.
Too perfectly.
And then there were the injuries.
âFell down the stairs,â he said once, with a split lip.
âWalked into a door,â another time, with bruised ribs.
âYou donât walk into a door that hard, Steve.â
âBig door.â
âShut up.â
You laughed it off.
But you noticed, you always noticed.
The confirmation didnât come from logic.
It came from instinct.
And a really bad decision.
You followed him.
It wasnât planned.
You were leaving his place after a movie nightânothing special, just the two of you on the couch, his arm around you like it belonged there.
He kissed you at the door.
Soft. Distracting.
âText me when you get home,â he murmured.
âI always do.â
You took three steps down the hallway.
Then you heard it.
Sirens. Too close.
You turned back just in time to see Steve freeze.
Again.
That same hesitation.
That same look.
âIâuhâŠâ he started.
You didnât let him finish.
You just⊠watched.
And thenâ
He ran.
Not a jog.
Not casual.
He ran.
Fast.
Like heâd done it a hundred times.
Your heart started pounding.
âSteve?â you called.
He didnât stop.
Didnât even look back.
And thatâs when you knew.
You shouldnât have followed him.
You knew that.
But you did it anyway.
Up the stairs.
Out the back.
Through the alley.
You lost him twice.
Found him again.
And thenâ
You saw it.
A flash of red and blue disappearing onto a rooftop.
Your breath caught. No. No way.
You climbed up after him, hands shaking slightly.
And there he was.
Standing at the edge.
Back to you.
Suit on.
Mask half-off.
Steve.
Steve.
âWow,â you said softly.
He froze.
Slowlyâso slowlyâhe turned around.
Mask in his hand.
Eyes wide.
ââŠyou werenât supposed to see that.â
You crossed your arms.
âYouâre terrible at lying, you know that?â
âOkay, in my defenseââ
âYou told me you walked into a door.â
âIt was a very aggressive situationââ
âSteve.â
He stopped talking. You stepped closer.
âYouâre Spider-Man.â
It wasnât a question.
He swallowed.
ââŠyeah.â
Silence.
The city hummed below you.
âYou couldâve told me,â you said quietly.
âI couldnât.â
âWhy not?â
âBecauseââ he ran a hand through his hair, frustrated, nervousââbecause if something happened to you because of meââ
You blinked.
ââŠto me?â
âYeah.â
The way he said itâ
like it was obvious.
Like it mattered.
Your chest tightened slightly.
âWeâre not evenââ you started.
âI know,â he cut in quickly.
Too quickly.
âThatâs the problem.â
You frowned.
âWhat does that mean?â
Steve looked at you for a long second.
Like he was debating something.
Like he was losing.
âIt means,â he said finally, quieter now, âthat I donât get to ask you to stay out of it.â
You softened.
ââŠSteve.â
âBut I want to,â he added.
Your heart skipped.
âI really want to.â
The wind shifted between you.
Carrying the noise of the city, the distant echo of sirens.
You took another step closer.
âYouâre an idiot,â you said.
âYeah, Iâve been told.â
âNo, likeââ you shook your head, a small smile breaking throughââyou thought I wouldnât figure it out?â
âI was hoping you wouldnât.â
âYou disappear every time thereâs a crime.â
âIn my defense, crime is very inconveniently scheduled.â
You laughed.
Actually laughed.
And something in his expression softened instantly at the sound.
God.
He looked at you likeâ
like you were something fragile.
Something important.
ââŠyouâre staring,â you said.
âSorry.â
He didnât look away.
You tilted your head.
âNo, youâre not.â
ââŠnot really.â
The air shifted again.
Different this time.
Quieter.
Closer.
âYou couldâve told me,â you repeated, softer now.
âI know.â
âI wouldnât have⊠freaked out.â
âI know.â
You narrowed your eyes slightly.
ââŠyou just didnât trust me.â
His expression changed immediately.
âNoâhey, no. Thatâs notââ
âThen what?â
He hesitated.
And for onceâ
it wasnât about lying.
It was about saying too much.
âItâs because I like you,â he said finally.
Your breath caught.
ââŠSteve.â
âAnd not likeâcasual, whatever this is supposed to be,â he went on, words coming faster now, like he couldnât stop themââI mean like⊠I actually care. More than I should.â
The world went very, very quiet.
âYou donât get to say that now,â you said softly.
âI know.â
âAfter months ofâwhatever this is.â
âI know.â
âAfter lying to me.â
âI know.â
You stepped closer anyway.
Close enough to see the tension in his shoulders.
The way his hands flexed at his sides.
ââŠyouâre still terrible at lying,â you said.
He huffed out a breath.
âYeah.â
âBut youâre even worse at pretending you donât care.â
That made him look at you again.
Really look at you.
And this timeâ
he didnât hide it.
âYeah,â he said quietly.
âIâm really bad at that.â
You didnât think.
You just reached out, grabbing the front of his suit and pulling him down into a kiss.
He froze for half a second.
Then melted into it.
Completely.
His hands came up to your waist instantly, pulling you closer like he needed you there.
Like heâd been waiting for this. Like heâd been holding back for way too long.
You pulled back slightly, breath uneven.
ââŠso this is why you keep disappearing,â you murmured.
He let out a quiet laugh, forehead resting against yours.
âYeah.â
âKind of inconvenient.â
âTell me about it.â
You smiled.
Then, softer:
ââŠIâm not going anywhere.â
His grip on you tightened.
âYeah?â
âYeah.â
Steve exhaled, something in him finally relaxing.
âGood,â he said.
Then, after a beatâ
ââŠbecause I think Iâm already in too deep.â
You smiled slightly.
âYeah.â
You already knew.

âfive more minutesâ
pairing: joe keery x fem!reader summary: a cozy and cutie (wanted to scream) morning with your boyfriend. warnings: suggestive, established relationship, a/n: hihi, i will try to be more active so heres a new fic :)
The first thing you notice is the warmth.
Not the sunlight â thatâs still faint, barely slipping through the curtains â but the warmth wrapped around you.
His arm.
Joeâs arm is draped over your waist, heavy and loose, like he fell asleep mid-thought and just⊠stayed there.
You donât move at first.
You just lie there, eyes still closed, feeling the slow rise and fall of his chest behind you. His breath is warm against the back of your neck, uneven in that way that means heâs not fully awake.
Or maybe he is.
With him, itâs hard to tell.
Your fingers curl slightly into the sheets.
Everything feels⊠quiet.
Soft.
Like the world outside the room doesnât exist yet.
Then his hand shifts.
Barely.
Just enough for his fingers to press a little more firmly against your side, like heâs checking youâre still there.
You smile to yourself.
âJoe,â you whisper, voice rough with sleep.
A pause.
Then, right against your neck, his voice â low, husky, still half-dreaming:
âMm⊠donât.â
You let out a small breath of laughter.
âDonât what?â
His arm tightens around you, pulling you closer without effort.
âDonât move.â
You can hear the smile in his voice, even if he hasnât opened his eyes.
âWhy?â
âBecause,â he murmurs, pressing his face further into your shoulder, âif you move, I have to wake up.â
âThatâs usually how mornings work.â
âNot today.â
His hand slides slightly, fingertips brushing under the edge of your shirt â nothing rushed, nothing intentional enough to be teasing⊠just instinct.
Comfort.
You inhale softly.
âJoeâŠâ
âFive more minutes,â he mumbles.
You tilt your head just enough to glance back at him.
His hair is a mess, falling into his eyes, lips slightly parted, still caught somewhere between asleep and awake.
He looks⊠softer like this.
Less like the version of him everyone else sees.
âFive more minutes turns into an hour with you,â you say.
âGood.â
âYou have things to do.â
âNo, I donât.â
âYou literallyââ
He shifts again, this time pulling you fully against him, chest to back, legs tangled without thinking.
His voice drops even lower.
âI had things to do,â he corrects. âNow Iâm busy.â
âWith what?â
He doesnât answer right away.
Instead, his nose brushes lightly against your neck, slow and absent-minded.
âSleeping,â he finally says.
You huff out a quiet laugh.
âLiar.â
His thumb traces a lazy line along your side.
âOkay,â he admits. âMaybe not just sleeping.â
Thereâs a pause.
Not awkward.
Just⊠heavy in a different way now.
You feel it in the way his hand lingers. In how neither of you is really trying to pull away.
Your voice softens.
âYouâre clingy.â
âOnly with you.â
âThatâs not true.â
âIt is this morning.â
You turn slightly in his arms, enough to face him.
The movement is slow, careful, like neither of you wants to break whatever this is.
Joe opens his eyes just a little as you do.
Theyâre still sleepy. Warm.
Focused entirely on you.
âHi,â you whisper.
âHi.â
Thereâs a moment where neither of you speaks.
His hand is still resting at your waist, thumb brushing small, absent patterns against your skin.
Your face is close enough that you can feel his breath.
Close enough thatâ
âDonât start something,â you murmur.
He raises an eyebrow, faintly amused.
âIâm not doing anything.â
âYouâre looking at me like you are.â
âLike what?â
You hesitate.
ââŠlike last night didnât end.â
His lips twitch slightly.
âDid you want it to?â
You donât answer.
And thatâs answer enough.
Joe leans in first.
Slowly.
Like heâs giving you time to stop him if you want to.
You donât.
The kiss is soft.
Sleepy.
Barely there at first â just a brush of lips that lingers longer than it should.
Then again.
A little deeper this time.
His hand shifts at your waist, pulling you closer without urgency, just enough to close the space between you completely.
You hum quietly against his lips.
âJoeâŠâ
âMm?â
âWeâre not going back to sleep, are we?â
He smiles against your mouth.
âProbably not.â
You sigh, but youâre smiling too.
âYour fault.â
âYeah.â
Another kiss.
Slower.
Warmer.
Like neither of you is in a rush to be anywhere else.
Outside, the light gets a little brighter.
Inside, neither of you notices.
Because for now, the world is just this:
His arm around you.
Your fingers tangled in his hair.
And a morning that neither of you is trying to end.
âproud of youâ
pairing: joe keery x fem!reader
summary: just a cute moment in the backstage of lollapalooza
warnings: suggestive, established relationship, fluff, making out
a/n: all these new content made me want to write againâŠ
You could hear the crowd chanting his name from the other side of the barricades.
âDJO! DJO! DJO!â
You leaned against one of the metal railings in the backstage corridor, arms crossed, a soft smile tugging at your lips as you listened to it echo through the humid Buenos Aires night.
You had seen him perform hundreds of times.
Tiny venues.
Secret shows.
Crowded festivals.
But this one felt different.
Maybe because it was Lollapalooza. Maybe because Argentina crowds were insane. Maybe because you had watched him rehearse this exact set in your living room for months, headphones half-on, guitar balanced on his knee while he said:
âIâm gonna come and find you.â
The stage lights finally dimmed.
Crew members rushed around with cables and equipment, and then you spotted him.
Joe appeared from the side entrance of the stage, hair damp with sweat, guitar still strapped across his chest, cheeks flushed from adrenaline.
For a second he didnât see you.
He was still half in performance mode â smiling at the crew, thanking people, running a hand through his messy and recently blonde hair.
Then his eyes landed on you.
And everything softened.
His grin turned into something quieter. Warmer.
âHey,â he said, walking straight toward you.
You pushed yourself off the railing.
âHey, rockstar.â
He laughed under his breath, dropping the guitar to a stagehand before reaching you.
âDid you watch the whole thing?â
âFront row of the side stage,â you said. âBest seat in the house.â
He exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck.
âI swear that crowd was insane. I thought my in-ears were broken because I could hear them over the band.â
âThey were screaming every lyric,â you said. âYou realize that, right?â
Joe looked at the ground, almost shy.
âThatâs⊠weird to hear.â
You stepped closer, reaching up to brush a damp curl away from his forehead.
âThey love you.â
Your voice softened.
âAnd Iâm really proud of you.â
That made him look up.
For a moment the chaos of backstage faded into background noise â people walking past, carts rolling, someone shouting in Spanish across the corridor.
Joe studied your face like he was memorizing it.
âYouâve been saying that since the first show,â he murmured.
âBecause itâs always true.â
His hand slid around your waist instinctively.
The two of you had been together long enough that the touch felt automatic â natural in a way that barely needed thought.
Fans had known about your relationship for years now. It wasnât a secret anymore.
But moments like this still felt private.
Like something that belonged only to the two of you.
âYou were amazing tonight,â you continued, thumb brushing the edge of his jaw. âSeriously. The songs? The crowd went feral.â
Joe huffed out a quiet laugh.
âFeral is the word.â
âEspecially during End of Beginning.â
âOh god,â he groaned.
You leaned closer, teasing.
âThey were screaming your name.â
He tilted his head.
âYou were screaming too.â
âThatâs different.â
âHow?â
âIâm allowed.â
Joe smiled slowly.
âAnd why is that?â
You raised an eyebrow.
âBecause I knew you before the screaming.â
He looked at you for a second longer.
Then his hand slipped lower on your waist.
The gesture was casual at first â until his fingers hooked lightly at the back pocket of your shorts.
You felt the familiar pressure of his palm resting just a little too low.
Your eyes widened.
âJoseph.â
âWhat?â
âYou know there are cameras everywhere.â
He glanced around the backstage corridor like he was considering the risk.
The area was quieter now â most people had moved toward the dressing rooms or equipment trucks.
You were standing near a stack of lighting crates, half hidden from the main walkway.
Joe looked back at you with that slightly mischievous grin he always got when he knew he was being a menace.
âI donât see any.â
âThat doesnât meanââ
Your sentence cut off when his hand squeezed your hip â very deliberately.
âJoe!â you whispered, trying not to laugh.
âWhat?â
âYouâre impossible.â
âYou love it.â
He leaned closer, his forehead almost touching yours.
Your voice dropped to a murmur.
âYou just performed for fifty thousand people.â
âAnd?â
âAnd maybe act like a normal person for five minutes.â
Joe tilted his head.
âDefine normal.â
Before you could answer, he kissed you.
It wasnât dramatic.
Just a warm, lingering kiss that tasted like adrenaline and sweat and the faint sweetness of the drink heâd chugged before the set.
Your hand instinctively slid into his hair.
Joe deepened the kiss slightly, his other hand settling firmly on your waist while the first one â still very much on your backside â gave another playful squeeze.
You pulled back with a laugh.
âOh my god.â
âWhat?â
âYou are literally grabbing my ass backstage at Lollapalooza.â
He shrugged.
âYou started it.â
âI did not.â
âYou said you were proud of me.â
âThat doesnât meanââ
He kissed you again.
This time shorter.
Just a quick, affectionate press of his lips against yours.
When you pulled apart, both of you were smiling.
âYouâre ridiculous,â you said.
Joe nodded.
âProbably.â
A distant cheer from the crowd echoed through the night again.
He glanced toward the stage.
âI still canât believe that just happened.â
You squeezed his hand.
âGet used to it.â
Joe looked back at you.
âOnly if youâre there.â
âAlways.â
He leaned down and pressed a quick kiss to your temple.
Somewhere behind you, a camera shutter clicked.
Neither of you noticed.
Later that night the internet noticed.
Very quickly.
Within an hour, photos started circulating across social media.
Grainy backstage shots taken from the edge of the restricted area.
One picture showed Joe with his arm around your waist, smiling down at you.
Another captured the exact moment you were kissing â half hidden behind equipment cases.
And the thirdâŠ
The third photo was the one everyone was losing their minds over.
Joeâs hand very clearly gripping your butt while you laughed into his shoulder.

And somewhere in a Buenos Aires hotel room later that night, Joe scrolled through the posts with a quiet laugh.
âUh oh,â he said.
You looked up from the bed.
âWhat?â
He turned the phone toward you.
Your eyes widened at the photos.
âOh my god.â
Joe grinned.
âGuess they found us.â
You buried your face in your hands, laughing.
âI told you there were cameras.â
âWorth it,â he said.
You peeked at him through your fingers.
âJoe.â
âYeah?â
You smiled.
âIâm still proud of you.â
He set the phone down and leaned over to kiss you again.

âsuch a funny wayâ part 2
warnings: angst | too late | emotional burnout | quiet breakup
part one
It starts small.
Thatâs the ironic part.
Not with some grand gesture. Not with flowers or a speech or him crying on your doorstep.
It starts with a text at 6:42 p.m.
Skipping drinks tonight. Wanna order Thai?
You stare at it like itâs written in a foreign language.
Skipping drinks.
You blink.
You almost laugh.
Itâs funny how the bare minimum suddenly feels monumental.
You type back carefully.
Sure.
He comes home early.
Actually early. Not âmidnight but technically still the same dayâ early.
Heâs carrying takeout and something elseâsomething fragile in his expression. Like heâs aware heâs walking on thin ice.
âHey,â he says softly.
âHey.â
You take the bag from him. Your fingers brush. He lingers for half a second too long.
He notices things now.
Thatâs new.
You sit at the table instead of the couch. He puts his phone face down without you asking.
Thatâs new too.
âIâve been thinking,â he starts.
You brace yourself automatically.
âI havenât been⊠present,â he says carefully. âWith you. And thatâs not fair.â
You nod slowly.
âI know.â
He winces slightly, like he expected resistance. A fight. Not agreement.
âI want to do better,â he says. âI can do better.â
You look at him for a long moment.
You believe him.
Thatâs the problem.
âž»
The next few weeks feel like a version of the relationship you used to imagine.
He texts more. Calls between shoots. Leaves events early. Invites you out instead of assuming youâll stay home. Introduces you properly instead of vaguely.
He tries.
God, he tries.
And the worst part?
You can see the effort.
You see him hesitate before accepting plans. See him put his phone away mid-conversation. See him watching you like heâs checking if youâre still there.
You are.
Physically.
But something inside you has gone quiet.
It hits you one afternoon when he shows up with coffee at your job.
You didnât even tell him you were having a rough day. He remembered.
âI figured youâd need this,â he says, smiling nervously.
You take it.
Your coworkers stare a little, whisper a little. You ignore it.
Joe looks proud of himself. Hopeful.
And you feelâŠ
Nothing.
Not irritation. Not anger.
Just a dull ache where excitement used to live.
Itâs funny how you begged for this version of him for months.
And now that heâs here, youâre too tired to enjoy it.
âž»
That night, he finds you sitting on the edge of the bed, unusually quiet.
âDid I do something?â he asks immediately.
Thereâs fear in his voice now. Real fear.
You shake your head.
âNo.â
âThen what is it?â
You look up at him.
And for the first time in a long time, you donât laugh.
Thatâs what scares him.
âI think,â you say slowly, âI ran out.â
âRan out of what?â
âEnergy. Hope. Whatever it was that kept me fighting for us.â
His face falls.
âIâm fighting now.â
âI know.â
âThen why does it feel like youâre already gone?â
Because I am.
You swallow hard.
âYou remember how I used to joke about it?â you ask quietly. âAbout you being out drinking while I was at home?â
Joe stiffens.
âI thought if I laughed, it wouldnât hurt as much.â
His voice is barely above a whisper. âIt did hurt.â
âEvery time.â
Silence fills the room.
âI didnât know,â he says.
âI know.â
âAnd Iâm trying now.â
âI know.â
He steps closer. Desperate but controlled.
âThen let me fix it.â
You look at himâreally look at him.
He looks exhausted. Determined. Scared.
And you love him.
You do.
But it feels like loving someone from behind glass.
âI needed you to fix it when it was breaking,â you say softly. âNot after it shattered.â
His eyes gloss over.
âI canât go back,â he says helplessly.
âI know.â
He runs a hand through his hair, pacing once like heâs trying to solve a problem on stage.
âI thought giving you space was the right thing. I thought you were strong enough to handle it.â
âI was,â you say. âThatâs the issue.â
You were strong enough to swallow it.
Strong enough to wait.
Strong enough to laugh instead of cry.
Until you werenât.
âDo you still love me?â he asks finally.
Itâs the simplest question.
The hardest one.
âYes,â you say immediately.
Relief flashes across his faceâ
âand then fades when you donât smile.
âBut I donât want to feel like this anymore.â
âLike what?â
âLike Iâm constantly adjusting to you. Waiting for you to choose me. Hoping this version of you sticks.â
He shakes his head. âIt will.â
âBut I donât have it in me to test that.â
Thatâs the part he doesnât understand.
Youâre not angry.
Youâre tired.
And tired doesnât scream. It doesnât throw things. It doesnât beg.
It just⊠lets go.
Joe kneels in front of you like youâre something fragile.
âI can be what you need,â he says.
You give him a small, sad smile.
âI needed you to be what you said you were.â
That lands deeper than you intended.
He exhales shakily.
âSo thatâs it?â he asks. âYouâre just done?â
You hesitate.
Because part of you wants to say no. Wants to give him one more chance. Wants to believe timing can still bend in your favor.
But you remember all the nights on the couch.
All the Instagram stories.
All the laughs that were just shields.
âI think,â you say quietly, âI stopped crying about us a while ago.â
He looks confused.
âThatâs good, isnât it?â
You shake your head.
âNo. It means I already grieved it.â
Thatâs when it finally breaks him.
Not loudly.
But visibly.
âIâm here now,â he whispers.
âI know.â
âAnd itâs still not enough.â
You reach out and touch his face gently.
âNo. Itâs just too late.â
He doesnât argue after that.
Thatâs the saddest part.
He just sits there, hands gripping your knees like if he lets go youâll disappear.
âI never meant to make you feel small,â he says.
âI know.â
âI never meant to make you laugh so you wouldnât cry.â
You swallow hard.
âI know.â
You stand first.
He stands too, instinctively reaching for you.
You let him hug you.
Just once.
It feels familiar. Warm. Safe.
And over.
When you pull away, his eyes are red.
âSuch a funny way to lose someone,â he murmurs.
You almost laugh.
But this timeâyou donât need to.

âsuch a funny wayâ
warnings: angst | emotional neglect | unbalanced love | quiet heartbreak | joe being an asshole
Itâs funny how quiet your apartment is at night.
Not peaceful. Not calm.
Just⊠empty in a way that feels personal.
Youâre curled up on the couch in your old sweatshirtâone of his, technically, though he probably forgot he ever left it here. Your phone is face-down on the coffee table, like that might stop you from checking it every thirty seconds.
It wonât light up.
It hasnât all evening.
You glance at the TV, where something mindless is playing, the laugh track too loud, too artificial. Youâre not really watching. Youâre counting. Minutes. Hours. The space between messages that never come.
Itâs funny youâre out drinking.
You picture it without trying. Joe in some dimly lit bar, arm slung over the back of a chair, laughing with people you donât know. People who know his face. His name. The version of him that doesnât come home exhausted and quiet.
Funny Iâm at home.
You snort softly at that, a dry, humorless sound, because yeah. That tracks.
You didnât always mind being the one who stayed in. You liked routine. Normality. A life that didnât revolve around premieres and press and strangers who felt entitled to pieces of him.
Joe used to say thatâs why he loved you.
Loved. Past tense. Even if neither of you has said it out loud yet.
âž»
When you first met him, he was⊠different.
Not unknownânever thatâbut softer around the edges. Less guarded. He used to show up at your place with takeout and a crooked smile, collapsing onto your couch like the world hadnât already started pulling him away.
âI just need somewhere normal for a bit,â heâd said once, forehead pressed to your shoulder.
You were normal. Comfortably invisible. No cameras. No expectations.
You didnât realize, back then, that normal was something heâd eventually outgrow.
âž»
Your phone buzzes.
Your heart jumps embarrassingly fast before your brain catches up.
A notification. Not him.
Just a mutual friendâs Instagram story.
You tap it before you can stop yourself.
There he is.
Joe, flushed and smiling, drink in hand. Someoneâs tagged him. The barâs loud, crowded. He looks goodâeffortlessly so, like he always does when heâs not trying. Like the version of him the world gets.
The caption reads: âBest night đ„â
You stare at it longer than you should.
Funny everybody knows something I donât.
You close the app.
Your chest feels tight, like somethingâs sitting there, heavy and immovable. You tell yourself not to spiral. Youâre not dramatic. Youâre not clingy. Youâre not the girl who needs constant reassurance.
Youâre just⊠tired.
âž»
Joe had texted earlier.
Running late. Might grab a drink after. Donât wait up.
No question mark. No is that okay?
Youâd replied with a joke, because thatâs what you do now.
Wow, living the dream. Say hi to the bar for me.
He reacted with a laughing emoji.
That was it.
Itâs funny how much damage a single emoji can do.
You replay the past few months like a highlight reel you never asked for.
Missed calls.
Plans rescheduled.
Conversations cut short because heâs âexhaustedâ or âswampedâ or âabout to lose signal.â
And every time, you laugh it off.
âYeah, yeah, go be famous,â youâd tease.
âDonât worry about me,â youâd say.
âI get it,â youâd insist.
Youâve said I get it so many times itâs started to feel like a lie you tell yourself more than him.
âž»
Your phone buzzes again.
This time, it is him.
Your fingers hesitate before you pick it up, like youâre bracing for impact.
Still out. You okay?
You stare at the screen.
Itâs such a simple question. Such a harmless one.
You laugh.
Out loud, this time. A short, brittle sound that echoes a little too much in your living room.
Funny how I do this. Every single time.
You type, delete, type again.
Yeah. Just watching TV. Have fun.
You send it before you can overthink it.
Three dots appear. Disappear. Appear again.
Then nothing.
You wait.
You always wait.
âž»
You donât remember when laughing became easier than crying, but now itâs instinctive.
Like a reflex.
Your friends have started to notice.
âYouâre taking this really well,â one of them said recently, concern masked as admiration.
Youâd smiled. Made a joke. Changed the subject.
What you didnât say was that crying feels too honest. Too dangerous. If you start, youâre not sure youâll stop.
Laughing, at least, keeps you intact.
So funny that I have to laugh just so I donât cry.
âž»
Joe comes home around 2:17 a.m.
You know because youâre still awake, staring at the ceiling, the TV long forgotten. The door clicks open softly, like heâs trying not to wake you, even though he never checked if you were asleep in the first place.
You hear him kick off his shoes. The familiar sounds feel foreign now, like muscle memory without the comfort.
He steps into the living room and freezes when he sees you.
âYouâre still up,â he says quietly.
You glance at him. He smells like alcohol and cold night air. His hairâs a mess. He looks⊠happy. Or at least lighter than he has around you lately.
âInsomnia,â you reply, shrugging. âVery trendy.â
He huffs a small laugh, but it fades quickly.
âSorry,â he says. âI didnât mean to stay out that late.â
You sit up, pulling your knees to your chest.
âItâs fine.â
He frowns. âYou always say that.â
You smile, sharp and tired. âFunny, right?â
That gives him pause.
Joe drops onto the armchair across from you instead of sitting beside you like he used to. The distance feels deliberate, even if he doesnât realize it.
âYou mad at me?â he asks.
You consider it.
Mad implies energy. Passion. A desire to fight.
âIâm not mad,â you say honestly. âIâm just⊠here.â
He rubs his face, uneasy. âI texted you.â
âI know.â
âI asked if you were okay.â
âAnd I said I was.â
Silence stretches.
Joe looks at you like heâs trying to read something written in a language he never bothered to learn.
âYou can talk to me,â he says.
You laugh again.
God, youâre so good at that now.
âAbout what?â you ask. âHow funny it is that youâre living your life and Iâm watching it through other peopleâs stories?â
His jaw tightens. âThatâs not fair.â
âIsnât it?â
He opens his mouth, then closes it.
You stand, suddenly exhausted.
âI think Iâm going to bed,â you say.
He nods, a little too quickly. âYeah. Me too. Long day.â
You pass him without touching.
Thatâs when it finally hits youânot like a dramatic wave, but like a quiet truth settling into place.
Youâre lonely.
Not alone.
Lonely with him.
And somehow, thatâs worse.
As you close the bedroom door behind you, you let out one last soft laugh, pressing your forehead against the wood.
Because if you donâtâ
Youâll cry.

The resounding rumor in the Hawkins Little League baseball programâmore specifically, among the women who occupy the third row of bleachers at Elm Street Ballpark every Tuesday and Thursdayâis that Coach Steve Harrington is single.
Very single.
âThereâs just no way,â Sharon McIntyre sighs for the third time this inning. She squints toward the field, shading her eyes with one hand like she might be able to spot a wedding ring from home plate. âI mean, look at him. Nobody looks like that coaching a little league team.â
âIâm telling you, Shar,â Kelly Dunlop chimes in, iced coffee rattling in her hand. âMy sister works mornings at the diner. She says he comes in all the time. Always alone. No ring, no girlfriend, nothing. If he had someone, sheâd know.â
