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.

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.
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.
@indiedjo: JOE KEERY GRABBING HIS GIRLFRIENDâS ASS BACKSTAGE AT LOLLAPALOOZA ARGENTINA IâM SCREAMING

@joekeerynation: if he doesnât look at me like that i donât want it
@djoendofbeginning: theyâre so in love it physically hurts
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.

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.
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.
imagine his girlfriend filming him while doing a trend and him so being so clueless.
HE'S JUST KEN !
i.
You told Joe to stand with a cushion in front of the camera and though he had no idea why, he did. Because you told him to.
"What's going on?" he asked, watching as you set up the camera.
You were backstage of a show he was prepping for, hour or so before he was set to take the stage. As he liked to, he relaxed with cups of tea to ease his voice, not a big crew around him, just you. His only person.
Typically you sat together, talked or read or he ran through some song choices he was thinking about and other things he was working on.
Today, you changed it up.
You stood next to him, with a cushion in your own hand.
Joe looked around, confused but with a smile. "What?"
"Just listen."
Joe squinted at the camera, regretting his glasses left on the side.
"Who was interested first?"
Before Joe could even register the question your pillow hit him in the chest with a soft whack.
He stumbled back at the force un-accounted for and looked back to you as you laughed. His jaw was agape even as your knees buckled from your force of laughter. "What the he-"
"Who said I love you first?"
Joe at least had a second to prepare, holing up his pillow before yours hit him again. He heard the question, he got the gist of what was going on and wasn't going to deny it. He remembered the picnic in central park he took you on when he first said I love you.
"Who is more protective?"
Both of your cushions went up and hit into each other, the force stumbling you both.
"You so are!" you argued.
"Yeah but so are you!" he said.
You hit him with the cushion again as he cowered in laughter.
"Who cleans more?"
Joe hit you.
"Who eats the most?"
Joe was ready before the question even ended he. He spun and whacked you in the ass with the pillow, throwing you back onto the sofa. "Oh shit!" he laughed.
The both of you were in fits of laughter. The camera picking up on you lying on the sofa, arm over your stomach with laughter while Joe loomed over you, laughing.
"Who spends the most money?"
Joe ignored the question, laying a hand on your back.
You tried to lift the pillow to hit him but he grabbed your wrist and put it down.
"No I don't!"
"Who is most likely to start an argument?"
Joe straight up dropped the cushion. He held his hands up in surrender, not willing to take the hit or make it. Maybe it was the two years you'd been together but neither of you started arguments. Who wanted to get into arguments?
Your own cushion was clutched to your chest as you were still laughing, trying to get up but Joe not letting it happen.
"Who falls aslee-"
The audio kept going and the last shot the camera got was Joe falling on top of you on the sofa in his dressing room, throwing the cushion at the camera and plunging the tikok into to darkness.

he really said we do not argue in this house

y/n feeding us with joe content
JOE SAID I LOVE YOU FIRST
ii.
When you started posting Joe, you should've expected the fallout. The comments of 'hard launch of the century' or people aghast you were even together even if you hadn't been trying to keep it a secret. You also weren't trying to make it public-public.
But Joe liked it.
He liked boasting. His friends knew that. A hand always on each other when hanging out, if you were going out he liked to give you a hat of his to wear. And if nobody could see that love they could hear it in his songs.
So, you went again. A harmless little prank.
Your phone was in hand, the record button hit as you flopped next to your boyfriend on your sofa in your NYC apartment. On instinct, Joe's arm went around your shoulder.
You started with casual chat.
Then: "Oh my god, I forgot to tell you."
The camera picks up on the immediate interest in his face.
"Tell me, tell me," he said, abandoning his own task on his phone.
"I found Joe Quinn on Raya."
Joe didn't even think. He laughed, pushing back his hair. He leant closer toward you. "Did you? Did you really?"
"Yeah," you said with your own amused grin.
"But wasn't he- I thought he was dating-" Joe began, his head leant in hand as he dug his elbow into the sofa, watching you.
You shook your head, trying to keep back your laughter. You didn't want any other names to be involved in a Tiktok that would be posted online. You'd just picked Joe because he was yours and Joe's friend and you knew he was recently single. "No."
You watched your boyfriend think about it and for a second, you thought you were caught out.
"Did you see the picture released of him as George Harrison?" he asked instead.
You laughed but nodded. "Yes."
Joe was momentarily confused why it was so funny but moved past it. "Wait can I see the photo's he-" the camera picked up on the very moment he realised. "Wait, Raya?"
You pitched forward with a laugh, as Joe laughed too, though more confused.
Joe chuckled. "Why are you on Raya?"
"I'm not."
"You're not?"
You picked your phone up and showed him the Tikok you were filming.
Joe rolled his eyes playfully and tugged you in closer. "Oh my god-"

Joe was so ready for the gossip
Never have I ever wanted to gossip with joe more
The panic and then he realised
Isn't this so distasteful, his ex literally cheated on him
It was a prank
I just know at the end of the day he's so ready to gossip
They're so cute together stfu
iii.
When you saw how much the people liked to see it, or some who hated to see the two of you in love and happy, you didn't want to stop.
Just like your boyfriend with his film camera you were there with your phone, taking pictures or videos of him at any time of day.
The two of you couldn't get enough.
So when your fans got a notification- you'd posted another Tiktok- they were excited to see what it could have been.
They found you, in the lap of Joe's. It was clearly Joe. His arms were around you with drumsticks in hand as he played the drums, tapping around, with you in his lap. Your chest to his.
It got over a million like in twenty-four hours and everyone was obsessed.

Is it in?
I don't know who I want to be more
I feel like I shouldn't be watching
This is what I pay wifi for
GET IT! GET IT!
iv.
Or another harmless little prank here and there. One where you wiped off a kiss he gave you when you were recording a Vogue get ready with me. It was clipped from the Youtube video and did the rounds on Tiktok.
Your 'prank' didn't work however as he only plunged the camera into darkness by blocking the both of you out of view to give you a kiss you couldn't so easily rub off.
Or another where you were cooking and dragged Joe into view, naming him your 'current boyfriend' to which he only shrugged and corrected you with one word.
"Husband, but sure."
Which then sparked a huge marriage rumour. You were not married. (Or at least not yet)
But you tried again, all for your own enjoyment. Where some didn't understand if Joe wanted to be on Tiktok or not, it was clear all he wanted was to be with you. Around you. Involved with you and your life however that presented itself.
You had your phone set up, acting as if you were using it as a mirror while you got yourself ready for the day.
Joe was pottering around behind you, throwing on different hats till he found the one he wanted for the day, getting a bag and his guitar to go to the studio. "Okay baby, I love you, I'll see you later," he said, pressing his lips atop your head so he didn't ruin the makeup you were doing.
He was on his way out the door when you called back.
"See you soon!"
The camera could just see Joe half way out the door, hands till holding it open as he looked back.
"Okay, love you," he said, trying it as casual as he could again.
"Bye!"
Joe waited a second, wondering if maybe there was a delay. "Babe?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you."
"I know, i'll see you tonight."
Joe looked back and saw the camera. He stared at it blankly as he understood what you were doing. He flexed his muscles, showing his biceps to the camera before he went back to being 'serious.'
You watched him through the camera as he leant his guitar on the wall and headed over to you. He leant over you and gently and playfully cupped your chin, getting you to look at him.
"Say it," he said through his teeth playfully with a glint of mischief in his eyes.
"I love you," you chuckled.
Joe's face lit up in a grin. "Love you too, I'll see you tonight." He took his time, his lips against yours sweetly before he left for the day.
Nobody could ever doubt the love you had was anything other than true.
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
Across the field, practice is in full swing. Kids swarm the infield, shouting over one another, cleats kicking up clouds of dust. A bright, metallic clang rings through the air, signaling a clean hit. The whole team erupts into cheers as little Johnny Peters takes off for first, freckles flashing beneath his helmet.
You smile, eyes following the chaos fondly.
âGod,â Sharon mutters, gaze fixed entirely elsewhere, âI know heâs young, but does he really have to look like that?â
âHow old is he, anyway? Twenty?â another mom asks.
You take a slow sip of your coffee, keeping your expression neutral. Youâve gotten very good at that lately.
âItâs the whole authority thing, right?â Kelly says after a pause. âGive a guy a whistle and suddenlyâ"
ââsuddenly heâs attractive,â another mom finishes.
âWell,â Sharon adds, âI think itâs a little more than the whistle.â
A soft ripple of laughter moves down the row.
Just then, the sharp blast of a whistle cuts through the air.
The effect is instantaneous.
Itâs like Pavlovian conditioning, the sudden hush that settles over the stands. Conversations drop off mid-sentence. Heads lift in near-perfect unison. Like suburban meerkats sensing a storm, all eyes snap toward the field.
Every mom here knows exactly what that whistle means.
Coach Steve Harrington steps out from the dugout, lips still wrapped around the whistle, hands signaling a time-out as he jogs toward the pitcherâs mound. His cap is pulled low, shades perched on the bridge of his nose. The top two buttons of his Dodger-blue jersey are undoneâas usualârevealing tanned collarbones and just the faintest tuft of chest hair.
He calls out a few pointers to the team, then leans over the plate to demonstrate a perfect, controlled swing.
The pivoting motion tugs his shirt upward, flashing a patch of sun-warmed skin at his stomach. It also strains the fabric of his pants, those khakis clinging to his ass in a way thatâs a little snug for a public park.
A very un-subtle sigh rolls through the bleachers.
âJesus,â Sharon mutters. âI mean, thatâs just unnecessary.â
âHeâs gotta know, right? Thereâs no way he doesnât.â
âThat shirtâs always like that. Never fully buttoned.â
A chorus of murmured agreement follows.
You press your lips together, managing to school your expression just as you hear a pair of little cleats pounding toward you.
âMom! Mom!â
Toby skids to a stop in front of you, panting with effort, helmet crooked, knees grass-stained. He wedges himself between your legs and you reach up instinctively, straightening his helmet before it tips again.
âMom, did ya see me? Did ya see that throw?â
ââCourse I did, honey! You were amazing!â Â Â
His grin goes blinding. âCoach Steve said I got way better this week. He said Iâm really fast. Like, like, maybe fast enough to be a pro!â Â
âYeah?â you smile, brushing a smear of dirt from his cheek. âYouâve been working so hard. Iâm so proud of you.â
Toby nods so vigorously his helmet nearly slips again. He takes a quick gulp from the water bottle you hand him, then darts back to the dugout.
Across the field, Steve is crouched near home plate, murmuring low encouragements as he adjusts another kidâs grip on the bat.
After a moment, he straightens.
Flicks his cap off, rolls his shoulders, then lets his eyes roam over the bleachers.
When he finds what heâs looking for, he flashes a quick, casual smile.
From this distance, itâs broad enough to be meant for no one in particular.
And yet.
You look away immediately, pretending to study the condensation sliding down your coffee cup. Â
âOh my god,â Kelly whispers beside you. âI think he looked over here. Sharon, was that at you?â
Sharon scoffs, though the corner of her mouth quirks up. âPlease. He smiles at everyone.â
âMm, not like that.â
You keep your gaze fixed firmly on the cup.
âŸïž
âAlright, Cubs! Awesome job today! Make sure to grab all your stuff. Iâll see you back here Tuesday, yeah?â
A chorus of okay, Coach! and bye, Coach Steve! follows.
The bleachers wake up all at once. Moms rise in unison, purses scraping against aluminum, lipstick caps popping open for quick, totally casual touch-ups meant for no one in particular. Kids spill off the field in excited clumps, chatter overlapping as they relive every hit, every near-catch. Tobyâs voice cuts through it all, loud and proud as he recounts a grounder he almost snagged.
Youâre stuffing a water bottle into your tote when a voice behind you makes you freeze.
âExcuse me, maâam?â
You turn.
Steve stands there, casual as ever, bat slung over his shoulder, sunglasses pushed up into his hair. His jerseyâs still hanging half-open, collar darkened with sweat. Â Â
âHi.â
You purse your lips, stifling a smile. âHi.â
He stares for a beat too long before he shakes himself, clearing his throat.
âUhâI just wanted to say Toby did really great today. Kidâs a natural. Solid throw, great hustle. And..." his eyes flick briefly toward the chaos of children behind him, voice dropping a notch, â...he actually listens.â  Â
You laugh softly. âThat last partâs news to me.â
Steve grins. Takes a step closer.
His voice slides into a familiar cadence youâve come to recognize, warm and teasing. âSo... I heard you might be on snack duty next week.â
You raise a brow. âYou did, huh?â
âYep. And, you know, I run a pretty serious operation here. Snackâs are a very important part of team morale. So I thought maybe we should⊠discuss our options.â
You canât hide the smile this time. âOh? And what exactly were you thinking, Coach?â
âWellâŠâ he leans closer, eyes glinting. âWe might need to talk details. You know⊠what kind of chips to get, how many⊠make sure everythingâs perfect.â
âMm,â you nod solemnly. âSounds important. Why donât Iââ
âMom! Mom!â
Toby barrels toward you, juice box clenched in his hand like a trophy, still buzzing with post-practice adrenaline.
âMom, can I sleep over at Jacksonâs tonight?â
You blink. âTonight?â
âYeah! Heâs got the new Super Mario game! And, and, he said we can have pizza while we play!â
You glance up to see Jacksonâs mom waving from a few yards away, already herding kids toward her van.
âYou sure, baby? I made that lasagna you like.â
âNooo, Mom, please? Everyoneâs going.â
You give in with a smile, smoothing his hair back. âOkay. You want me to bring your stuff over?â
âNope, heâs got extras!â
âAlright. Be good at Mrs. Millerâs, okay? And say thank you.â
âI will!â He vibrates in place just long enough for you to bend down and kiss his cheek.
âOkay, bye Mom! Love you! Bye, Coach Steve! See you next week!â
âBye, buddy,â Steve waves. âGreat job today. Let me know how that game goes, yeah?â
Toby nods furiously before sprinting off.
When you turn back, Steveâs grinning at you.
Hand shoved in his pocket, rocking lightly on his heels.
He's more boyish than ever, looks downright fucking pleased.
âWell,â he starts, tilting his head, âI donât know about Toby, butâŠâ
He shrugs, eyes flicking to you with warmth and something unmistakably like intent.
âI could definitely go for some lasagna.â
âŸïž
âYou know all theâmmphâthe moms are... t-talking about you, right?â
Even with your face shoved into the pillow, words muffled, jaw slack and drooling, you know exactly the kind of shit-eating grin thatâs hovering behind you. Â Â Â
âYeah?â His voice comes perfectly level, lazy with a familiar taunt. Like heâs not ramming you within an inch of your life. âWhatâre they saying?â
âMm, Shar... Sharon thinks youâreâfuck, Steve!â Â
Thereâs no warning, just the sudden crush of his weight shoving you flat onto the mattress, pinning your stomach against the sheets. His hips snap forward, driving all the way to the hilt in one, long thrust, your body jolting up the bed from the sheer force of it.
You let out a strangled yelp, hands flailing back instinctively, scrabbling at his arms, his hips. You squirm desperately for leverage, clawing at the Dodger-blue fabric bunched around his waist, but he pins you easily, weight sinking down like an anchor. A thick forearm comes around to hook under your chin, wrapping around your neck to hold you there.
âShe thinks Iâm what?â he breathes, lips pressed to your temple. Â
âShe... she...â
He allows you a moment of merciful reprieve, thrusts slowing to a teasing grind, hips rolling in deep, languid circles against your ass.
âInto her,â you manage. âS-she thinks youâre into her.â
âHuh,â he pants, thoughtful. âMrs. McIntyre?â
You nod weakly as he adjusts his grip around your neck, pressing up until you can feel your own pulse thundering along the column of your throat.
Then, before you can find your next breath, the weight over you lifts, the pressure around your neck releasing. You suck in a long, trembling gulp of airâthe first real one in what feels like foreverâjust as you feel a pair of hands wrap around your hips, flipping you swiftly onto your back.
You hit the pillows with a startled gasp, chest heaving, legs splaying open instinctively.
Your cunt glistens between your thighs, weeping a slow, sticky trail into the sheets. Itâs twitching uselessly, clenching around open air as if it could pull him closer.
From between your knees, your man watches.
The late-afternoon sun cuts through the room in slanted gold, draping his body in warmth and shadow. You take him in helplessly, all the familiar lines of himâthe sloped planes of his shoulders, thick biceps and a toned chest that melts into the soft curve of his stomach. The pale-white scars that shimmer along his sides, stark and beautiful against flushed skin.
Heâs naked except for that blue jersey. Hanging open at the front, hem brushing over his hips. The last two buttons are gone, thanks to your handiwork.
Itâs a miracle his shirtâs stayed intact at all, what with the way you were climbing over each other the moment the door slammed shut.
Savage, open-mouthed kisses giving way to ragged gasps as you staggered through your living room, tripping over the ottoman, narrowly avoiding a vase as you dragged each other toward the bed. His dirt-stained khakis discarded mid-stride, he barely managed to tear your clothes off before hauling you onto the mattress.
Predatory.
Itâs the only word to describe the way heâs looking at you now, honey-brown eyes darkened with intent, burning hotter than the molten orange sunset bleeding through the curtains behind him.
He takes his sweet time.
Holds your gaze, unblinking, as he shrugs the jersey the rest of the way off, letting it drop away. He raises a hand up to his chest, palm flat, and drags it slow across his skin. Slides it over his ribs, his stomach, the trail of coarse hair running below his navel, reaching down, down, down, until his fingers brush against the sticky patch of curls at his base.
A pleased, knowing smile spreads across his face as he drinks in your reaction.
âMrs. McIntyre, huh? I had no idea.â
And even this fucked upâdazed and boneless from the way heâs been drilling his cock inside you for the better part of an hour, buried so deep you can feel him in your stomachâa tiny part of you canât resist pushing back.
Just enough to test him, to see how far heâll let you go.
âDonât act like youâre surprisedâŠâ you murmur, words slurring. âYou were smiling at her today.â
Thereâs a beat of silence. Then a low, incredulous laugh.
âAt her?â
The hand on his stomach moves lower, thumb and four fingers splayed to form a wide âVâ as he cradles the imposing monument he calls a cock. The head of itâs all swollen, leaking, skin flushed from friction and glossed all over with your arousal.
âHuh,â he intones mildly, gaze flicking down between your legs, tongue gliding slow across his bottom lip. âDid I make my girl jealous?â
You scoff, pushing weakly against his shoulders as he makes his way back down, boxing you in between his elbows. âYou wish, Harrington.â
He laughs under his breath, soft and playful, before he slams his lips against yours in a filthy kiss, tongues clashing until youâre left panting for breath.
Pulls back with a wet smack, eyes hooded, blazing with amusement.
âSorry, honey,â he breathes, head tipped in mock sympathy. âHad no idea.â
You roll your eyes, instantly betrayed by the tremor in your voice. âI donât care.â Â
âMm,â he smiles, dipping his head to nuzzle your cheek, mouthing along your jaw while he reaches a hand down without looking. âI think you do.â
His cock drags against your inner thigh as he positions himself against your opening.
âAnd I think,â he adds softly, âyou mean Coach Harrington.â
You laugh despite yourself, breathless, feeling him bury a smile of his own against your neck.
âNice try... âm not calling you that in bed.â
âWorth a shot.â
âUh-huh.â
Your amusement quickly dies on a moan when he nudges the head of his cock against your swollen clit, dragging it down in a slow, wet schlick to your entrance. The pressure makes you clench, whining when he rubs insistently against your folds without pushing in.
âSteveâ"
âShh, I know, baby,â He smooth a warm palm up the inside of your thigh, pushing it back, spreading you wider. âI got you.â
In and in and in, he bottoms out in one stroke, stretching you endlessly until his pelvis is flush against yours. You take him wellâpussy warm and slick from earlier roundsâbut the weight of him, the sheer girth pressing into you, draws a low whimper from your throat.
âYeah?â he breathes. âIs that good?
His lips trail soft, lingering kisses across your neck, one hand coming up to smooth your hair back, cradling the top of your head to shield it from bumping against the headboard.
It all runs so counter to the way heâs thrustingâslamming inside in quick, deep thrusts, hitting your g-spot with such merciless accuracy that your eyes prick with tears.
âGod,â he huffs, brow furrowed in pleasure, jaw going slack as he starts hitting that rhythm proper, âYou have any idea how hard it was to behave today? Couldnât stop fucking staring at you. Couldnât... couldnât stop thinking about you.â
His eyes roam greedily over the fresh trail of bruises heâs already mapped across your body: deep wine-reds that bloom just underneath the skin, running down your neck, your collarbone, the soft underside of your tits.
âYou were looking at me too, huh?â he murmurs, already knowing.
Head lolling back against the pillow, you can only nod, too dizzy and breathless to do more.
âYeah, baby, I know you were,â he coos, dropping his forehead to yours, lips brushing in a slow, teasing ghost of a kiss. âSitting up there⊠looking so pretty. Bet you were making a mess out of the bleachers, huh? Getting yourself all wet.â
You groan, arching against him. âSteveââ Â
âTell me,â he grunts, voice rough with need. âTell me how good this feels. Tell me how much you need this cock.â
âIâfuckâI need it. Iâs so good. Feels... feels so good.â
He lets out a guttural groan, pressing down harder, pulling you closer. Â
âDrives me⊠drives me fucking insane, you know that? Acting all polite out there, âYes, maâamâŠâ âOh, he did just great today...â When all I wantââ He draws his hips back, slamming back inside to punctuate his next words ââis this.â
âFuck, Steveâ!â
The pleasure is blinding, a violent flash-bang to the senses that knocks the breath straight out of you. You squeeze your eyes shut, gripping onto his shoulders for dear life as you tip into your third orgasm of the day. He fucks you through it, murmuring praise, hips pistoning so hard it makes the mattress squeak, the headboard rattle.
And even as the high fades, he doesnât relent. Light, shallow thrusts that leave you whining, twitching, your clit jolting each time he brushes against your tender g-spot.
âMmâŠâ you squirm, legs trembling against your will. âSteve...â
âHm?â
âCanât... âs too... too sensitive...â
âJust one more, baby.â He pants, lifting himself up on his hands. The playful edge in his eyes replaced by a look thatâs all earnest now, all intent. âWant you to come one more time for me.â
You groan weakly, shaking your head. âI canât.â
âYou can,â he leans in close, nudging his nose against yours, pressing a soft peck to the tip. âJust one more. One more, baby. For me?â
Your response breaks into a loud groan when his hand slides down to your clit, middle and ring finger pressing slow, firm circles across the sensitive nub, making your cunt spasm around him with each pass.
âCome on, honey,â he whispers, voice soft but insistent, almost petulant in its coaxing. âI never get to take my time with you. Never get to have you like this.â
And even in this state, you canât stop the wet, fucked-out laugh that escapes you. âYou... you had me like this two days ago.â
The memory hits in a dizzying haze. Heâd invited you over to his place before practice on Tuesday. Fed you a surprisingly excellent omelet first, then wasted no time bending you over the counter, and then the couch, and eventually his bedâboth of you panting and laughing by the end of it, scrambling to get dressed once you realized how much time had passed.
âBut we were still rushing then,â he counters, and you canât muster the energy to argue that three and a half rounds don't exactly count as ârushing,â but maybe for Steve Harrington they do.
âPlease, baby,â he murmurs, still thrusting gently. âWeâve got all night today. Wanna see how many times I can make you come.â
âFuck...â you sigh, head tipping back as another shudder rolls through you. You were convinced youâd come up against a wall, but the moment he angles his thrusts upward, fingers continuing their precise, coaxing swipes over your clit, the smoldering tension in your stomach catches kindling.
The high starts climbing back, somehow, sharper and brighter than ever.
âGod, youâre so pretty... so fucking gorgeous,â he whispers, driving in a little harder. âCanât believe you think Iâd look at anyone else when Iâve got you.â
You whine weakly at his words, at the way his voice dips on the words Iâve got you, unmistakably possessive yet so bruisingly tender.
âYouâre mine, arenât you?â he mumbles against your lips. âNo one gives it to you like this, hm?â
Your response is a trembling, breathless gasp, mouth brushing against his on every thrust, pressed so close itâs impossible to tell when youâre not kissing.
Long, slow, filthy passes of his tongue as he pries your lips open, gliding into your mouth; he craves this point of connection, always. Every sound you make is swallowed eagerly, turned into something shared.
He breaks easiest when youâre this close, when the air between you disappears and his control gives way to raw, aching need. Instinct pulling him toward a singular desire to stay close, to share breath and spit and praise while he takes you.
âOh... oh my godâSteve, Iâmâ"
âYeah, thatâs it, honey. Let go, Iâve got you.â
It almost hurts, this time around.
The slow, exquisite, endless pull of pleasure, cruel hands of a thousand little deaths come to strangle you off. Every nerve in your body feels raw and frayed, tears leaking freely when you shut your eyes tight. You bury your face into his shoulder, nails pressing hard enough to break skin, clinging desperately to his words for some fragment of relief.
âGood girl... ah, shit, s-squeezing me so tight. Thatâs it. Keep coming, baby. There you go.â
Your cunt spasms uncontrollably around himâlong, drawn-out pulses that keep him from pulling back out. He ruts the last few inches inside before spilling deep, groaning against your neck.
âFuck, yes, just like that. God, baby....â
He always stays inside you afterward, for as long as he can. Kissing, kissing, always kissing, like he just canât help himself, lips roaming over any patch of skin he can reach. When he finally draws his hips back, he does so carefully, softening the distance with more kisses when you whine at the loss of him.
âCâmere,â he pants, breath still ragged as he rolls onto his side, tugging you in until you fit flush against him. âIâve got you.â
Warm, gentle strokes against the curve of your back as you level out together, syncing your breaths. The windowâs cracked just enough to let the evening air roll in, cooling against heated, buzzing skin.
âYou okay?â he murmurs after a while. Â
You hum in response, nodding once as you tuck your nose closer to his chest, breathing him in. Citrus cologne. Sweat. Steve.
âWow,â he exhales, half a laugh caught in his throat. âWhat was that, three times?â
âFour,â you mumble, words muffled against his skin.
âOh my god,â he laughs fully now, warm and boyish, chest vibrating beneath your cheek. He dips his head to press a quick kiss to your temple. âWeâll do five next time. Promise.â
You groan softly and shove at his shoulder, rolling away to hide your face in the pillow.
You hear him chuckle behind you as he slides off the bed. The soft pad of bare feet follows, sliding across hardwood, then the click of the bathroom light. Water trickles quietly from the sink.
Youâre still catching your breath when the mattress dips again.
His fingers brush the backs of your legs, gently coaxing you to turn onto your back. You do, cheeks burning as he carefully swipes the warm, damp towel between your thighs, focused and attentive.
Itâs something heâs done countless times before.
And still, itâs the part that always makes your chest tighten.
You push yourself upright once heâs done, settling against the headboard. He tucks the sheets around your waist, smoothing the fabric over your hips before reaching for the glass of water on the nightstand.
Brings it to your lips.
âSteve,â you laugh softly, still flushed, âI donât need you to hold it.â
âSsh,â he murmurs, lips quirking. âSmall sips.â
You narrow your eyes at him but drink anyway, hands folded uselessly in your lap while he keeps the glass steady. When youâre done, he takes a long drink himself before setting it aside.
He turns back, catches you staring.
âWhat?â
You shake your head, smile faint. âNothing.â
He studies you for a beat longer, searching your face, but doesnât push. Instead, he stretches with a low groan, shoulders rolling until something pops.
âGod,â he mutters. âYou hungry?â Â
âSure. I could eat.â
âYou said thereâs lasagna, right?â
âUh-huh.â You start to scoot toward the edge of the bed, but his hand lands firmly on your arm.
âWoah, hey. Where are you going?â
âTo... get the lasagna?â
He shakes his head, already moving away. âNope. Just tell me where it is.â
âSteve, itâs fine, I canââ
âNot happening.â He nudges you back against the pillows, then tucks another one behind your back for good measure. âI got it.â
You open your mouth to argue again, but heâs already pulling his boxers on.
âIs it in the oven?â he calls over his shoulder.
â...Yeah.â
â'Kay. Be right back.â He leans in for a quick kiss, lifting a finger at you as he backs toward the door. âDonât move, alright?â Â
You purse your lips, watching him go.
Heâs back not ten minutes later, balancing two plates in his hands. Steam curls from the lasagna, edges crisp and bubbling.
âYou gonna feed it to me too?â you ask dryly as he settles beside you.
He doesnât even blink. Just picks up a fork and starts cutting into one of the slices.
âJesus, Steve,â you laugh, grabbing the plate from him. âI was kidding.â
He hands it over with a grin, watching you take the first bite before digging into his own.
âOh, hey,â he asks after a while, swallowing around a mouthful. âDid Toby like the new glove? Didnât see him with it today.â
âYeah,â you nod. âHe loves it. I think heâs saving it for when the old one gives out.â You hesitate before adding, quieter, âThank you, by the way. You really didnât have to do that.â
Steve pauses mid-bite, fork hovering for half a second before he lowers it, lips pressing together.
âYeah,â he nods softly. âOf course.â
You glance down at your plate, tracing a smear of sauce with the tip of your fork. âYou know⊠if he knew it was from you, heâd probably never use it. Heâd want to put it on a shelf or frame it or something.â  Â
He snorts quietly. âGuess itâll be our secret then.â
âHm,â you nod, the sound coming out thin.
You donât eat much after that. Staring at nothing, just pushing the food around, lost in thoughts much heavier than hunger.
Steve notices.
He looks up from his plate, cheeks full, a smudge of tomato sauce at the corner of his mouth. He chews slowly, studying you over the rim of his fork.
âHey,â he says once he swallows. âYou okay?â
You blink. âYeah. Yeah, Iâm fine.â
He watches you for another beat, then sets his plate aside and slides closer. His hand settles on your knee, rubbing small circles.
âDid I, uhâŠâ He glances down, then back up, eyes sheepish. âWear you out too much?â
You nudge his ankle with your foot, managing a small smile despite the ache blooming in your chest. âNo. Itâs not that.â
âOkay,â he says softly, not quite smiling back. âThen what is it?â
âItâs... itâs nothing. Stupid.â
âBaby,â he reaches for your hand before you can pull away, fingers threading through yours. He shuffles closer until your knees press together. âTalk to me.â
You close your eyes for a moment, drawing in a slow breath, then another. Your chest tightens on the exhale.
âIs... is this aboutâŠ?â His voice trails off, gentle, circling the truth carefully.
You sigh and turn your head, but he follows, refusing to let the space grow.
ââCause if it is,â he rushes on, urgency bleeding into his tone, âIâm ready. Whenever you are. I mean it. I want toââ
âSteve, stop,â you whisper, shaking your head. âYou canât.â
He freezes, lips parting like he wants to argue. The light in his face shifts: eyes drooping, brows pulling together. So young, stripped of his usual bravado, it hurts to him look at him like this.
âWhy... why not?â
âBecause I canât ask you to do that.â
He shakes his head, grip tightening as he pulls your hand to his chest, pressing it over his heart.
âAsk me to do what? Be part of your life? Be around your kid?â He shifts closer, trying to catch your eyes. âI⊠I wouldnâtâlook, I care about Toby. I really do. And I care about you. I lovââ
His voice falters. He swallows hard, throat working around the word. Â
âI love you.â
You stare at a spot on the sheets, blinking hard, vision going blurry at the edges.
âBaby,â he murmurs, thumb sliding gently under your chin. âLook at me. Please.â
You do. Lashes heavy, eyes shining despite your efforts. He smiles at you then, soft and steady, certainty radiating in a way that makes your chest ache.
âI love you,â he repeats. âI want⊠I want to be with you. Wake up next to you, go to sleep next to you. Take you places.â He lets out a small laugh, rubbing the back of his neck. âI mean, that old caravan I bought is a total mess, but... I thought we could fix it up together. Travel a little. Go see the country.â
His smile softens, expression sobering a bit. âAnd I want to be there for Toby. I know what itâs like to have a shitty dad. I would never do that to him. Ever.â
You make a small, broken sound and turn away, but he doesnât let go. His thumb keeps tracing the same soothing path over your knuckles.
âAnd Iâm not saying we should get married orâor move in or anything. Just⊠maybe a couple nights a week? I could come over, help with homework, hang out with him, just be there however you need mââ
You surge forward, pressing your lips to his in a desperate, trembling kiss. He freezes for a heartbeat, then melts into it, arms winding around your waist and lifting you onto his lap with careful, fluid strength.
You cling to each other, kissing in a messy, gasping rhythm, until the salt of your own tears brushes against his lips.
âHey,â he whispers, pulling back, gently drawing your face into his chest. âItâs okay, it's okay."
You let yourself fold into him, cheek pressed against his bare skin.
"Weâll figure it out. We'll be okay, I promise."
You melt against him, surrendering to his warmth, letting the steady, gentle strokes of his hand calm the storm of thoughts in your head.
Eventually, a small, wet laugh slips out.
âTobyâs gonna lose his mind.â  Â
Steve pulls back a little, meeting your eyes. âYou think heâd be weirded out by it?â
You shake your head, a smile breaking through. âNo, heâd love it. He already worships you. And then you two would just⊠gang up on me every day.â
Steve laughs, thumb brushing a stray tear from your cheek. His gaze is unwavering, soft and intent as he lingers over the lines of your face, like heâs seeing you for the first time.
âI donât know,â he murmurs, eyes sparkling. âIâm pretty sure Iâll always be on his momâs side.â
âŸïž
epilogue
Toby sits at the very end of the dugout bench, where no one else is sitting.
Heâs six and a half years old, not a baby anymore, but his legs still donât touch the ground when he sits. They just kick the air, swinging back and forth, back and forth, cleats cutting little half-circles in the air. He scoots down an inch so the tips of them can scrape the dirt, and he finds a small pebble near the bench post. He nudges it with his toe, then nudges it back, careful not to kick it too far.
Everyone else is out on the field.
Thereâs the loud crack of a bat, and all the kids start shouting at once: âMine!â âRun!â âHeads up!â The ball pops straight up into the air, and bonks Nathan Foster on the head when he tries to catch it. Everyone laughs. Even Nathan laughs, rubbing the back of his head like it didnât hurt, even though it probably did. Â
Coach Steve says that kind of thing is okay. Messing up is how you learn.
Coach Steve knows a lot of things.
He knows how to line your fingers up on the bat, and how to breathe out when you throw so the ball goes straighter. He says baseball is supposed to be fun, even when you strike out, even when youâre not the best player on the field.
But Toby isnât having fun.
He keeps his glove in his lap, hugging it tight with both arms like it might slide off if he lets go. Itâs new. It's the one Coach Steve bought for him, even though his mom said his old one still worked fine. This one is stiff and smooth and smells goodâlike a store, or like the inside of Coach Steveâs car. Toby presses his fingers into the leather and traces the thick stitches with his thumb, over and over.
It helps a little.
Thereâs a worry sitting in his chest. Heavy and squishy, like when you step in mud and it won't let go of your foot right away.
He hasnât told anyone about it. Not Miss Collins from art class. Not his mom. He didnât even whisper it to his glove, even though sometimes he tells the glove thingsâlike how fast pitchers make him freeze, or how scared he was on his first day of school.
Today, the worry stays stuck inside, pressing down.
A part of Toby thinks maybe he shouldnât be worried at all.
Coach Steve said that everything would stay the same. Normal. And most of the things Coach Steve says turn out to be true. So maybe this will be too.
But Jeremy Miller said something different.
Jeremy knows stuff. His dadâs a doctor, and doctors are smart. They do important things.
Toby kicks the pebble a little harder than he means to. It skitters across the dirt floor and disappears under the bat rack with a soft clack.
âHey, buddy.â
Toby looks up.
Coach Steve is standing at the opening of the dugout, blocking out part of the sun. His whistle hangs from his neck like always, bumping softly against his chest when he steps closer.
âYou hiding from me?â he asks, grinning. ââCause if you are, this is kind of a bad spot.â
Toby shrugs and drags the toe of his cleat through the dirt, making a crooked line. He sort of misses the pebble he kicked away. âIâm not hiding.â
Coach Steve comes in and sits down beside him, the bench creaking under his weight. His knee bounces once, then goes still. Â Â
âSo,â he says, leaning his elbows on his thighs, looking out at the field. âI was kinda thinkinâ today might be the day you show off that rocket arm.â
The heavy feeling in Tobyâs chest squishes tighter.
The words fall out before he can stop them.
âAre you and Mom gonna get married?â
Coach Steve freezes.
Just for a second, but Toby notices. His grin fades, and he blinks like he forgot what he was about to say. His hand comes up and rubs the back of his neck.
âUhâŠâ he clears his throat. âYeah. Yeah, we are, buddy.â
Toby nods. He already knew that. Mom had told him. Coach Steve had told him. Grandma cried a little on the phone when they both told her together. Still, hearing it out loud again makes his stomach feel all twisty.
âIs thatâŠâ Coach Steve says, then stops. He presses his lips together. âIs that still okay with you?â Â
Toby sighs and draws another line in the dirt next to the first one, pressing hard so they match.
âI guess.â
Coach Steve moves a little closer, his arm brushing Tobyâs. He rests a hand on his shoulder and gives it a gentle squeeze, thumb rubbing slow circles like he does when Tobyâs nervous before a game.
âHey, if youâre feeling weird about me and your mom, thatâs okay to say.â
Toby swallows. His throat feels tight, like when heâs about to cry but doesnât want to.
âNo, itâs justââ He stops, frowning. âI just want you to be my coach, still.â
Coach Steve turns his head sideways, frowning. âWhy wouldnât I still be your coach?â
Tobyâs shoulders curl in. ââCause Jeremy said that if youâre family, sometimes you canât do stuff for each other.â
 âJeremy Miller?â
Toby nods. âYeah. His dadâs a doctor. Jeremy had to have surgery âcause his ap-pen-di-sigh-tis was broken, and his dad couldnât do it. They didnât let him.â
Coach Steve lets out a slow breath through his nose. âOh.â
Toby grips his glove tighter. âSo, if youâre my family⊠you canât be my coach anymore, right?â
Coach Steveâs face goes a little funny. His eyebrows pull together, and his mouth does this wobbly thing, like heâs trying to smile and canât figure out how. He reaches out and gently pushes Tobyâs hair back, his thumb brushing across his forehead.
âToby,â he says softly, âthatâs not how that works.â
Toby frowns. âBut Jeremy said so.â
âI know, bud. And sometimes grown-up rules are really confusing.â He lets out a small huff of a laugh. âDoctors have rules like that. Coachingâs a little different.â
He waits until Tobyâs looking at him.
âIâm always gonna be your coach, Toby.â
Toby wants to believe him. He really does. Â
ââŠYou promise?â he whispers.
Coach Steveâs face scrunches up more, eyes shiny like maybe some dust blew in from the field. âYeah, buddy. I promise.â
Toby sticks out his pinky. He doesnât do that at school anymore, because heâs a big first-grader now, but he still knows itâs the strongest kind of promise there is.
Coach Steve smiles, hooking his pinky around Tobyâs, giving it a firm shake.
Satisfied, Toby launches forward. Itâs all of him at once, knocking the air right out of Coach Steve.
âOof, okayââ Coach Steve laughs, arms coming up to catch him. He pats Tobyâs back, holding him closer as he rocks him side to side.
Toby squeezes back just as tight. The heavy feeling in his chest lifts, like taking off his backpack full of books at the end of the day.
He pulls back, smiling now, and says the thing he's been scared to say since the day he talked to Jeremy.
âLove you, Dad.â
Coach Steve goes very still. Then he clears his throat and quickly blinks up at the sky, like he definitely got some dirt in his eyes that time.
When he looks back at Toby, that funny, wobbling smile is back.
âI love you too, buddy.â
Toby grabs his glove and hops off the bench. His feet hit the ground, solid and steady.
Coach Steve stands too, quickly scrubbing the dirt from his eyes before turning back to him.

âIt's too big, it won't fitâ Dustin openly expresses his disagreement with Hopper's absurd plan to fly a whole helicopter into the center of the wormhole.
âSteve hears that all the time, and he goes in anyway,â Robin remarks in a suggestive tone, smiling knowingly at her friend, âdon't you, Steve?â
After that, she winks at you.
Steve is frowning, baffled and entirely dissatisfied with what Robin just said. âWhat the hell is wrong with you?â
Murray, sitting on the couch right in front of him is smirking, his eyes wandering between yours and Steve's, and vice versa, puffing out a knowing chuckle.
âIt's funny,â he says, raising his eyebrows.
You bite your lower lip, struggling to hold back laughter, feeling your cheeks grow warm as you sense Steve's gaze on you now.
So you just choose to play dumb. As usual.
You've heard about it, of course, many times before. Robin has told you over and over how over-sized Steve is, emphasizing that he would be exactly what you need, ever since you told her about your miserable and unsatisfying sex life.
The best fuck of your life, possibly.
âTen out of ten,â she would say, shrugging her shoulders at your face, all contorted with skepticism and flushed with embarrassment. âThat's what I heard.â
Steve's mouth opens and closes, stammering out a response, procesando todo lo que estĂĄ pasando.
And unable to really say anything in his own defense, he smacks Murray on the shoulder, trying to get the man to stop giggling like a witch, but instead, he laughed even harder.
âIt's very funny,â he repeats, glancing at you this time and nodding his head.
Steve doesn't deny it either, you notice.
The conversation about the final plan against Vecna and the end of the world carries on all around you, but you can no longer really focus on that.
Instead, all you can concentrate on is Steve's scent invading your nose, the perfect opening in his sweater neckline that wraps around his neck, his left hand twitching on his knee, and his other hand reaching across the backrest of the couch where you are seated to support his own weight. But his fingers seem to have a different purpose and they graze your shoulder. Intimate, complicit.
One touch of him has you as horny as the fucking midsummer sun.
How could you possibly pause to think about the potential apocalypse in six hours when you're falling downward in a spiral from the slightest touch of his fingertips on your shoulder?
His closeness is suffocating, his body heat mingling with yours, making the room feel unbearably hot.
It's not until about forty minutes later that Steve is bold enough to look at you again, offering you a small, sheepish smile and sweeping his hand across his neck as he walks toward you with purposeful little steps.Â
He looks so good with that ridiculous backwards trucker cap that you have to physically restrain yourself from bouncing on him right there.
âHey, look, IâI'm sorry about Robin. She's been acting weird aboutââ His voice falters as the air is knocked out of his lungs the moment you lock eyes with him, looking up at him so intensely that he is literally left speechless for a long moment. âAboutâ about us. I've been telling her to stop sticking her nose in, but she'sâwell, she's Robin, you know her andââ
He keeps chattering uncontrollably, his brown eyes wandering down to your hips, appreciating what a great fit those jeans are on you. You look so hot in your monster-slaying outfit that it's making his face turn bright red and distracted.
âIs it true?â you interrupt him right there, because you don't have more time to waste. I mean, time is running out for all of you right now.
But you need to know.
His mouth gapes open in confusion. âWâwhat?â
âIs it really that big?â
Steve's brain short-circuits.
Completely. Catastrophically.
His jaw doesn't just drop; it hangs there as he stares at you, his eyes darting to your lips and then back to your eyes, searching for the slightlest hint that reveals that you're really joking.
But you aren't. And he just realizes it.
He glances around to see if there is anyone nearby, but fortunately for both of you, you are all alone. Finally.
Then Steve steps closer to you, his face morphing into one that expresses complicity and yearning and need.
âYou really want to talk about this right now?â he whispers, his voice dropping an octave, becoming a low, gravelly rasp that vibrates right through you. âWith the world ending in, like, six hours?â
âEspecially because the world is ending,â you consider, your voice surprisingly steady despite the way your heart is hammering against your ribs. âWhen then, if not now, Steve?â
Steve reaches out, his thumb finally finding the skin of your neck, tracing the line of your jaw with agonizing slowness.
âYou want it now?â he has the nerve to ask, when you're looking at him like that, as if he were the center of the entire universe, as if the world weren't ending, as if everything weren't collapsing around you. âYou want me?â
Twenty minutes later, he is only just pushing the swollen tip of his massive cock into you and you already have tears brimming in the corners of your pretty eyes.
He has you sprawled out on the desk in the radio boothâhis idea, since no one could hear you there even if you screamed, which you would, he had promised.Â
Your shirt is tossed somewhere, along with your jeans and panties and bra. You don't even know where your shoes might be.
You're too busy trying to let your body relax and let him in. Because, holy shit, he's big. Big, big.
âFâfuck,â you whine out, feeling his pulse thrumming wildly under your palm clutched to his shoulder. âIt's too big, Steveââ
âShh, you've got this, princess.â He soothes you, pressing little loving kisses on your flushed cheeks, his lips wiping away every trace of tears. âAw, it's okay. You're doing so well, so well.â
Steve groans as he pushes forward, just a little, because you're already crying into his neck, big tears falling down your cheeks now. The air leaves your lungs with every ragged whimper that crawls up your throat, every time he forces another inch deeper into your tight pussy.
âHmmâ!â you moan, your head thumping back against a radio monitor. âOh my fucking God...â
You look heavenly under him him, with your legs spread, the gates of paradise wide open for him.
And he's massive, filling you so perfectly that you feel your insides stretching to their absolute limit.Â
âI know, I know,â he coos into your ear, his voice strained and thick with the effort of holding back. He is being so patient and good to you. âJust breathe for me, babyâ fuckâ just breathe. Let me in, yeah?â
Because he knows he can't just dive in. He needs to open you up, that you adjust to his size, to make sure this doesn't hurt you, Steve wants to make things right with you after all.Â
With a shaky motion he pulls back just an inch and slides down a little more, his knees opening yours wider.
âDoing so well for me, baby. So good, IâI'm halfway there,â he's praising you in soft, trembling whispers, placing gentle, affectionate kisses all over your tear-stained cheeks. âI'm going to go in a little deeper, oâokay? Just a little more, mhm...â
You nod your head eagerly, gripping his shoulders, clawing at his back, and forcing him closer to you. Your legs wrap around his hips, urging him to thrust deeper.
He sinks in deep âall the way to the hiltâ in one smooth, heavy thrust. Your eyes roll back as a strangled moan escapes your throat.Â
He's so big you can feel him in your fucking throat. You can feel your guts rearranging to fit his shape, molding and squeezing him so deliciously that you've got Steve whimpering on your chest, soaking your skin with drool and tears.
âThere you go,â Steve whispers, his forehead dropping against your tits, âI'm all yours now. Taking me so fucking good, like no one else, fâfuck, baby. Still so fucking tightâ my fucking Godâ
Steve's hands are shaking as they grip the edge of the desk on either side of your hips, his knuckles white as he tries to anchor himself. The feeling of being entirely encased by you, of your warmth and your tightness clamping down on his length, has his self-control hanging by a single, frayed thread.
âSteve...â you sob out, the sensation so overwhelming it's almost dizzying. âDon't... don't stop. Moveâ please, ohhââ
He is a good boy, so pulls back very slowly, just a little. The friction make your hips hitch off the desk, and thenâhe drives right back in.Â
Steve isn't just fucking you; he's claiming you, taking everything he possibly can of you, reaching your soul and lifting you to unknown heights. Every inch of him slides against your gummy walls with a perfect fit, hitting that special sweet spot of yours every time he bottoms out.
âYou're... Iââ he chokes, his voice breaking as he starts to pick up the pace.
Every time he bottoms out, his hips slap against yours with a wet, filthy sound that echoes off the metal equipment in such a pornographic way that has you all worked up and shivering.Â
Slap, slap, slap!
âIâ I can'tâ you're so t-tight,â he slurs, his eyes blown wide and glassy with pleasure. âSo perfectâ
He looks perfect. For some absurd reason, his hair looks flawless, even though you're constantly pulling, ruffling, and tugging at it. His hands, big and veiny and craving you, cling to your flesh, marking it, claiming it, pawing at your hips, your ass, your waist. He's out of control, he finally has you there, all for himself, at his mercy and will. To touch, to kiss, to fuck, to claim as his own.
His hands caress a path down to your thighs, hiking them higher onto his shoulders to get an even deeper angle. Although his eyes display a sense of uncontrolled ferocity, his treatment is careful and gentle.
The shift allows Steve to bury himself to the all the way into the deepest part of your core, his pelvic bone grinding against yours as he sinks inside you. You let out a broken, high-pitched cry, your fingers tangling in his hair once again, pulling him down so you can find his mouth.
When your lips meet, the kiss is messy and desperate. It tastes like salt and heat and longing and love.Â
Steve moans right into your mouth, a deep, vibrating sound that you feel in your chest. He's moving faster now, his breaths coming in short, jagged hitches.Â
He's hitting that spot again, more firmly, more determinedlyâthe one that makes your vision go blurry and your toes curl into the air.
âGod, Steveââ you gasp into the heat of his mouth, your body vibrating with the intensity of it all. âI needâ I need more!â
âMore?â he purrs, incredulous and playful.
He pulls out of you with a wet, loud pop that makes you whimper at the sudden coldness and emptiness he left behind, but before you can even protest and whine about it, his big hands are on your body again, hoisting you up.
âThere you go, sugar,â he coos softly, âYeah, mhm, just like that.â
He spins you around, your palms slamming onto the cluttered surface of the desk. You lean forward, your chest almost touching the wood, scattering papers and radio logs as you find your footing.Â
You're bent over, your spine arching perfectly, presenting yourself to him in a way that makes Steve let out a low, animalistic growl.
From this angle, he can see everythingâthe plumpness of your ass, open for him, the line of your spine, the gaping hole of your pulsating pussy, the wreckage that he himself has made in there.Â
âLook at you,â Steve breathes out in awe, his hands sliding down your back to grip your hips, his fingers digging into your ass, before tentatively slapping one of your ass cheeks, grunting at the sight of the jiggling under his palm.
He hisses as he slides a teasing finger along your folds, your pussy responding instantly to him and sucking him in on instinct.
âLook at her. You look so fucking good like this.â
Steve doesn't give you a chance to bitch about it, stopping your ass from wiggling back in search of him ravenously and just lines himself up and lunges back into your pussy, his massive length sliding back inside you in one devastatingly deep stroke.Â
He gazes at the way your folds stretch around his bulbous head, drool dripping from his half-open lips.
At the new position, heâs hitting your cervix with every thrust, sending jolts of pure electricity straight through your spine up to your brain.
âOh! Steve!â you babble his name over and over, with your voice cracking. You grab whatever you can over the desk so hard your knuckles turn white, your head hanging low as you watch your own reflection blurred in the glass of the radio monitors. You're a mess. âBaby, fuckâ right there!â
Heâs relentless now. With his hands firmly anchored on your hips, he uses you as leverage, pulling you back onto him every time he drives forward.
âI've got you,â he answers your cries immediately, kissing down the point where your ass meets your back, âI've got you, baby.â
He's looking in awe the way your body is reacting to him, lowering his gaze to the space where his body connects with yours, admiring the sight of your pussy stretching out all around him, forming a white, creamy line around the girth of his cock.Â
You're taking every inch of him as if you were made for this. For him.
âYou like that?â Steve snarls cockily, one of his hands landing on your lower back and forcing you to arch it for him as he notices that you are begin to squeeze impossibly. You are close. âIs it big enough for you, hm?â
âYesâyes, pleaseâ oh, Steve!â
He obviously has you cumming sooner than you can blink. And it's a earth-shattering, soul-shaking, life-changing orgasm.
Your breath comes in ragged sobs, your vision spotting with white crazy shapes, you feel like you're floating off into the distance.
âBaby,â Steve is calling your name in a breathless whispers behind you, noticing you're still on cloud ten, shaking like jelly underneath him, so much that he has to hold you tightly by your hips, âwhereââ
âInside,âyou manage to croak. âCum inside, I need it, please. Cum in meââ
You're hardly finished formulating the words when he delivers one brutal, final thrust, sinking so so hard inside you the desk groans under the weight of his force. He's growling, sobbing, praying your name, and cursing, all at the same time.
âOh, Godââ he chokes out, his body seizing.Â
It is God. The way your pussy is clenching him, milking out every drop he has for you.
And he is cumming so much that his seed starts to leak out around the base of his cock. He is filling you to the absolute brim, spurting ropes after ropes. Then he lets out one last, shuddering breath of your name, burying his face between your shoulder blades,kissing your sweaty skin appreciatively.
Steve is whispering sweet words of praise, repeating over and over how good and perfect and gorgeous you are.Â
âIs this a terrible moment to ask you out for dinner?,â he sheepishly asks after just a few seconds of silence, a moment that feels comfortable and heartwarming.Â
His hands are caressing your sides reassuringly, fingers trembling as he waits quietly for a response from you and pulling away from your back, not without first pressing a shy, soft kiss upon your shoulder.
Shy. As if he weren't literally buried balls deep inside you, his cum oozing out of your pussy after filling you to the fucking brim.
You let out a low, dazed laugh that vibrates through the desk, your cheek still resting against it as you try to remember how to breathe. The contrast between the animalistic intensity of the last ten minutes and his sudden, boyish vulnerability is almost enough to make you cry all over again.
âDinner?â you say finally, your voice barely a whisper, raspy from all the moans and cries and whimpers he got out of your throat. âSteve, if we survive tonight, you can take me wherever the hell you want.â
He lets out a relieved, shaky breath, almost too shy to look you in the eye. âIt's a date then. Enzo's?â
He finally begins to withdraw, the sensation of him sliding out of you leaving you feeling cold and so empty that you have a sudden urge to start complaining. You can feel the warmth of his seed beginning to trickle down your thighs.Â
Steve is quick to help you up, his hands steadying your waist as your knees threaten to buckle. He cleans you up with a fresh towel he finds in a nearby drawer, his gestures and gaze full of concern and care.
âYou okay?â he asks so gently.
His hands lingering on your waist to make sure youâre steady before he starts frantically scanning the floor for your clothes. The air in the booth is thick, humid, and heavy with the scent of what just happened, but the ticking clock of the apocalypse is finally starting to penetrate the bubble youâve been in
âI've never been better,â you admit, smiling. You watch him getting dressed now while you sit on the desk. âSo... Enzo's?â
âEnzo's. Iâm gonna wear a suit. Iâll even get the hair extra perfect for you,â a goofy, lopsided grin spreading across his face at the mere possibility of a date with you. âYou don't know how long I've waited for this.â
Steve draws back toward you, like a force of nature, and you reach out to him, your hands coming up to his neck. He watches you fix his jacket, his gaze softening.Â
You kiss him on the cheek and he is left breathless, with that goofy little smile on his lips. Your hands caress his chest affectionately, âRobin was right. Ten out of ten.â
His smile just keeps getting bigger, that classic, cocky Steve Harrington smirk returning to his face as he adjusts that trucker cap back over his hair. âOnly ten? I'll have to try harder next time.â
