Hawkins Bizarre

He giggles as his cheek is kissed and drums against his lap with his fingers. He's got adhd he can't sit still to save his life, but he's trying. " Aw, come on, doll, you would've been fine. You're strong, but I don't want that. I like being here with ya. I'm selfish; you make my day better. "

"Eddie. You were here when it happened... if it hadn't been for you, snapping me out of it, and getting me the help I needed... who knew what would of happened to me." She breathed.

Her hands stroked down the front of his chest, as she dangled over him still. She enjoyed being close to him. "I would of probably had more than this broken leg, that's for sure." She told him. Ok, she did have more, but her broken wrists were now out of their casts, and the rest of her was mending. All apart from this damned leg, with its pins, and everything else holding it together.

"I like being here with you too." She whispered softly. "You make me feel safe, and happy, and you accept me the way I am."

She knows they aren't going to last because what they're fighting for is over. Their relationship feels more like playing house than anything real but she also feels guilty even thinking about that without Holly being by her side.

He would be blind if he hadn't noticed that Nancy and Jonathan didn't appear as close as they once had been. And it broke his heart to think that she thought she was facing this alone. She wasn't. And he would do anything to make her realise that.

As she speaks, he listens to her. One thing he didn't really do before. But he had grown. When the tears start to spill, he turns a little more to her and wraps his arms around her.

Steve rest his head against hers, his eyes softly closing, breathing starting to even a little as he relaxed. "Mmm, bed does sound...good." He breathed softly.

As she slaps her thighs, his eyes open and he looks at her, part of him was ready to just fall asleep there on the couch, because the thought of getting up again. He looked at her and groans, grabbing her hands and pulling himself up "You're lucky I love you. I was so ready to sleep here." He teased lightly.

He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her with him towards the stairs, climbing them and flopping onto the bed, opening his arms "Come here."

“I just want to make sure you never feel unappreciated again. You’re kinda one of two reasons I’m even still around so I owe a lot to you.”

Steve smiled and stroked his hand over Billy's head lightly, his eyes on his boyfriend. He kissed the top of Billy's head as he rest it on his chest. "You don't make me feel unappreciated. I promise." He said softly. "And you owe me nothing Billy. This relationship is not about owing anyone anything, we are equals in this relationship." He smiled.

He then laughed "Glad I realised, or glad you finally gave up trying to get me to like you by beating the crap out of me?" He teased lightly and wrapped both his arms around Billy, kissing his head again and smiling.

At her questions he shrugged. "Truthfully, I haven't thought further than saying 'hello' to you." The blond chuckled somewhat sheepishly. "What is your definition of 'doing something useful'?" Being best friends with Elie made him cautious at phrasings like this as they tended to end up in trouble if he let her choose their activity.

She looked up into his eyes and then scooted over a little to make more room for him as he sat down.

"Evan. You could never disturb me." She smiled "I mean it, I love your company. It Always makes things seem happier." She breathed.

"Well thats ok, sometimes that all it take is a hello." She said.

"Honestly, I can't think of anything useful, so... we could listen to music. Might be easier in my car though, cause then we wouldn't need to try and share my headphones." She laughed "So, if you want to join me there." She smiled.

" I don't let anyone play with my hair but for you chrissy? Go right ahead. " He smiles and then sits up and gets on the floor between her legs so it will be easier for her to do his hair.

She was about to pout when he pointed at her and started to talk, saying he didn't let anything play with his hair. But when he said she could, her face lit up and she beamed at him.

As he moved between her legs, she lent forwards and kissed his cheek. "Thank you." She breathed. She reached for her comb which was close by and carefully parted his hair, going carefully through his curls, and braiding them. Her fingers moved swiftly and delicately through his curls, till she had done a couple of braids in his hair. She then draped her arms over his shoulders, leaning into him and kissing his cheek lightly. "I honestly don't know how I would survive any of this without you."

Chrissy furrowed her brow a little "Hey, I can be intimidating." She said, moving closer to him and poking his chest before her lips cracked into a smile. "Well, maybe I need to have an intimidating bodyguard wherever I go." She beamed up at him.

PROMPTS FOR CATCHING UP AND CHECKING IN

Eva lift her hand and stroked his cheek "I know you are." She said softly and moved closer to him "And I love how incredible you are doing, and I am so fucking proud of you Eddie." She smiled softly. "Its just hard, not seeing you so much, not being able to be alone with you." She breathed.

"Just... promise me we will try and make some time soon. Ok? Cause your girl has needs." She chuckled and pushed her fingers into his hair, pulling him close and pressing her lips lightly to his in a chaste kiss.

This Steve is like a warm blanket after a long, terrible night, and she probably shouldn't do this since she's still with Jonathan, but when he sits, she puts her head on his shoulder.

Steve had changed over the years since they were together. He was responsible now, he liked to look after and protect others, rather than focus on his looks. Sure, he still had great hair, but that wasn't all he was. Not anymore.

He rests his head against her head when she places it on his shoulder. He's glad he can be there for her now, the way he was never there for her before.

Steve smile at Billy. "I don't need Romance, just honesty and you." He breathed. "I know how you feel, you don't need to have big words or gestures to prove it." He said softly.

"I know, but I am more than happy to just have you kiss me, and prove it that way." He chuckled lightly.

❝  i need you.  don’t you get that?  ❞

❝  i’m right here.  i’m always here right in front of you but you never see me!  ❞

❝  you’re my person.  ❞

❝  no,  i don’t wanna have to talk to anyone else right now.  i just want you.  ❞

❝  i know you’re busy and i don’t want to bother you i just—  can i just sit here with you while you work?  ❞

❝  are we okay?  ❞

❝  honestly,  i’m always there.  in my head.  the scars on my body might’ve healed but i never really walked away from it.  ❞

❝  do you want me to make the others leave?  or we could go,  get some fresh air.   ❞

❝  look i’m not coddling you,  i’m just trying to help.  i wanna take care of you cause i,  you know— care about you.  ❞

❝  alright,  here’s your coffee.  are you ready to talk or should i find something to ramble about for a few minutes?  ❞

❝  eventually,  you just gotta learn to let go of the past.  it’s always gonna hurt,  but you can choose when to start focusing on something other than the pain.  ❞

❝  hey,  just breathe.  look at me— look at me.  in and out.  breathe with me okay?  ❞

❝  keep your eyes on me—  just focus on me.  we’re gonna be okay.  ❞

❝  no,  i’m not okay.  nothing is okay.  it never is.  but that’s just how i function most days.  so i’ll be fine.  ❞

❝  i’m not gonna pretend anymore.  i’m still fucked up from it all and i don’t know when it gets better.  ❞

❝  if you keep waiting until you’re done ‘working on yourself’ before you let yourself be with the person you love,  you’re never gonna be with them.  and they’ll find someone else who is brave enough to give them a chance to love them exactly how they already are.  ❞

❝  why do you stick around?  what is it you think you see in me?  ❞

❝  not everything needs an explanation.  i care about you.  i don’t have to sit here and figure out why.  i just do.  so maybe you should try just accepting it too.  ❞

❝  i don’t need your permission to fall in love with you.  you don’t gotta love me back,  but it isn’t gonna stop me from being here when you need someone.  ❞

❝  you love me too much.  i know how that sounds but—  fucking hell.  you shouldn’t care that much about someone like me.  ❞

❝  i don’t care if loving you hurts me.  the world already has enough pain to dole out for no reason,  at least i’ll have gotten these scars from something beautiful.  ❞

❝  if people can hate for no reason,  than i can love for no reason too.  ❞

❝  one day you’re gonna need me and i’m not gonna be there to fix it.  ❞

❝  no,  i can’t fix everything for you this time.  it’s your mess.  clean it up.  ❞

❝  i dunno who taught you that love comes with conditions and limitations,  but mine doesn’t.  not when it’s you.  ❞
