while he used to look forward to their returns from parties and work trips and vacations he wasn’t invited to, now he just feels bad. he gets so worked up about opening the front door that he ends up standing on the porch for twenty minutes sometimes. because he knows if they see him he’ll either get cornered into a conversation with his mom where he’ll have to smile and pretend to love her stories as she raves about the trip like they’re best friends. that or he’ll get sat down at the kitchen table across his father who will berate him about something steve hadn’t even realized he’d done wrong

his anxiety gets so bad that he sometimes waits in the car until the house lights have gone off or he’ll just pull right back out and drive around town for a few hours. in the situations where he has to go in, he listens for voices by the door to try and time his quick escape up the stairs. and only once did he climb up the side of the house and sneak through his bedroom window like it wasn’t his own home
