NO ONE IS PERMITTED TO STEAL, COPY, OR REBLOG MY WORK AS THEIR OWN!!

You put your sticky note inside your book with a sigh - you were getting to the good part. The blonde, Michelle, reminded you of your girlfriend with her snarky remarks. Carol never understood why you were so engrossed in those novels, yet she found it adorable when you’d bite your lip and read a page multiple times for reasons she didn’t know.

The brownies would’ve burned if you hadn’t gotten up, so you had no choice. It was a quiet night, although most were ever since your wife got sent out for a two-month mission. Besides your rowdy children who seemed only to know how to make messes, there really was no enjoyment without her. And tonight, your oldest son, Daniel, was sleeping over at his friend’s house while your daughter was beyond ecstatic for her friends to come over and hadn’t left her room for over an hour. The brownies were for them, but she didn’t need to know if you had one or two.

The baby of the house, your four-year-old baby boy, Christian, was at your parent’s house after you gladly accepted their pleas to spend time with their grandchild. While you loved them all to death, you just wanted peace for the night, which meant reading, watching a movie, and sporting a glass of wine before bed.

Right as you were getting ready for a relaxing bubble bath, already checking in on your guests and seeing they were all knocked out, there was a loud bang outside your house. Fear indulged you, speed-walking towards the kitchen as you grabbed the sharp knife from a drawer. Your attention landed on the front door as you heard the knob twisting, trying to open. Your fears were only calmed when you saw your wife of twelve years walk through the entry, head down, as she tried her best to stay silent.

It was only when she looked up did she notice your frantic state, widening her eyes with a chuckle. She lifted her arms and signaled for you to come over, your body still stuck in shock and unable to register what was going on.

“Well? Do I get a hug?” You hurried into her arms after hearing her oh-so-angelic voice, her arms instantly returning your tough hold as one of her hands found its way to your head as she scratched lightly at your scalp. She knew the action always made your muscles relieve their tension as you were finally allowed to release a deep breath.

“You’re home.” You stated the obvious, a small snort coming from the blonde.

“Really? I didn’t notice.” You gave her a small glare before continuing to cuddle in her arms, basking in the warmth she offered even on such a cold night.

“I missed you so much, beautiful.” She murmured, kissing the top of your head and inhaling the scent of your shampoo.

“Mm, ‘missed you too.” The two of you stood there for what seemed like seconds but was really over ten minutes. You felt as though you could fall asleep right there as she hummed thoughtfully, smiling to herself as she admired the ring planted on your finger.

“Where’s your ring?” You asked with furrowed brows after the two of you pulled back, much to your dismay. She reached into her suit where she pulled out a necklace, the ring dangling from the gold material.

“Did you really think I’d lose this thing? I’d be dead the second I stepped inside.” She teased with a grin, receiving an eye roll from your end.

“Come on, Ava and her friends are asleep and I just drew a bath if you’d like to join.” You turned to walk into the hallway that held your shared room, the blonde following closely behind you like a lost puppy.

When you arrived in the master bathroom you shedded your clothes and your wife watched with a lick of her lips. Your bra fell to the floor along with your panties soon after while she slowly did the same, eyes still set on your body. You were always insecure about it, every curve and stretch mark brought a new set of self-hatred, but she loved every inch of you. From your kind soul to your breathtaking body, she didn’t know how she got so lucky.

“So, tell me about your day.” She spoke when settling into the warm water behind you. It wasn’t as hot as you hoped it would be due to your time spent with Carol.

“Well, I picked the kids up from school and helped them with their homework before making dinner. Oh, and Christian is still throwing his food at his siblings.” She chuckled, arms wrapping around your waist as she pulled you in closer.

“That little rascal, he’s gonna drive us up a wall.”

“He already does.” You rested your head on her shoulder and sighed deeply with a small smile, opening your eyes and being greeted by your wife staring back down at you. She brushed a strand of hair out of your face and leaned in to give you a small peck, quickly diving back in for more.

“You look so beautiful, love.” She muttered between each kiss. You shifted in her hold, keeping her close so she couldn’t pull away again. The two of you made out sensually, not caring to quicken your paces as both of you were purely exhausted.

You pulled back for a moment so you could adjust your body, settling on her lap with your legs folded at her side. Your arms wrapped around the back of your neck as you played with her hair. She watched you carefully, biting her lip as her hands rubbed your sides up and down thoughtfully.

“How did I get so lucky to call you mine, hm?” She brought her fingertips to your exposed breasts that had droplets of soap covering them. She pressed her lips against yours once again, although this one was different. You could taste the desire and eagerness coming off of her lips, but it still didn’t replace the love that overpowered them both.

“I wish you could see yourself the way I see you, you’re so perfect.” A blush threatened to make way to your cheeks as you grinned.

“Nobody is perfect.”

“Oh, but that’s not true because whenever I lay my eyes on you I see pure perfection. You have the most forgiving and peaceful soul, even after all that you’ve been through. Your heart is full of love, even when people don’t deserve it. Your eyes, don’t even get me started, I could stare into them for a lifetime and never find myself bored.” You could tell she wasn’t lying, the pure admiration in her features helped prove that. She truly loved you more than anything, and she was so grateful you felt the same way.

“Your body, every marking tells such a beautiful and strong story. I see you trying to hide your stretch marks and scars, but I wish you could love them as much as I do. You’re the reason we have three amazing children, you brought life into this world and every stretch mark shows that. They show strength, life, and happiness; how could I ever wish for that to go away?” You bowed your head down, only to meet her gaze once more as she lifted your chin with her fingers.

“I want to show you just how beautiful you are, but only if you let me.” You nodded, but that wasn’t what she wanted.

“Words, baby, I want to hear how bad you need it.” You whined, wiggling your hips on her slightly hardened cock that was teasingly poking you. She grasped your waist to force you to stop, pressing small kisses against your neck until she was next to your ear.

“Tell me what you want, or you’ll get nothing.” She whispered, feeling your hands grasp onto each side of her face and pull her into you, connecting your mouth with hers once again. You were obsessed with feeling her close to you, you were scared that if you didn’t you’d end up waking up moments later and realizing she was still gone.

Her tongue prodded at your lips as your hips continued to grind on her crotch, she didn’t stop you this time. You threw your head back and she found herself sucking a deep mark into your neck, not caring if you struggled to hide it at a later date, she was just as needy as you.

“I need you, Carol, I need you so bad.” You cried out. You felt her hand interlacing with yours as she guided you to stand up with her, neither of you bothered to dry yourself as she guided you to sit in front of the full-length mirror that was planted near your bed. You shuddered, already knowing what was to come next.

“I need you to be quiet, okay? Don’t want to wake up the girls, now do we?” You shook your head, that was the last thing you wanted.

She ran her hands up and down your thighs, groaning at the plush skin that greeted her. She slowly spread them, licking her lips with hunger as she eyed your cunt. You were dripping, and it wasn’t because of the bath.

She couldn’t stop herself, moving in to lick a small stripe up your folds and earning a hidden moan on your end. She looked up at you with a smirk while her tongue ran small circles on your clit, your hips jutting upwards.

“I want you to look into that mirror,” You did as asked. “And I want you to watch yourself as I make you cum. Then, I want you to tell me just how beautiful you are, I want to hear it.” You nodded with a whisper of agreement, willing to do anything for her touch. She seemed satisfied with your answer and returned to her position, her mouth wrapping around your swollen bud as she teased a singular digit near your hole.

“Fuck, I-”

“Shh, just watch, that’s all I ask.” You struggled to keep your eyes open as she eased her finger inside of you, letting you have a moment to grow used to the accommodation before starting slow thrusts.

You looked at yourself through the reflection, noticing the way your hips created a grind as your mouth parted open. Your arm occasionally twitched as you struggled to hold yourself up, your other hand finding itself braided in your wife’s hair.

“Please- please, Carol.” A second digit soon joined as you let out a choked moan, struggling to keep quiet as she asked.

“You gonna cum, baby?” You nodded rapidly, trying to bring her as close as possible to your heat. She was engrossed in your taste, her tongue sloppily trying to get a marking of every spot possible.

“Mhm!” You removed your hand from her head and covered your mouth, hoping it was a way to silence any noise. She wanted to hear you, but she understood your fear of waking up your daughter or even her friends.

“Tell me you’re beautiful.”

“Carol-”

“If you want to cum then do as I say.” Your legs were shaking and your juices were dripping down her fingers that were moving in and out of you at an incredible pace.

“I-I’m beautiful.”

“No, say it like you mean it.” Tears rushed down your face from the edging, your breathing speeding up as you chased your high.

“I’m beautiful!”

“Again.”

“I’m beautiful!”

“Again!”

“I’m beautiful!” You grew progressively louder with each repeating of the word, sighing happily when she finally let you go, your release hitting you almost instantly.

“Carol- ah!” She kissed each of your thighs softly as you came down from your high, making up blabbered words along the way. Small hickeys were left on your skin, she couldn’t care less if someone was able to see them.

Moments later you found yourself standing on wobbly legs, Carol standing behind you as her cock ran through your thighs, occasionally brushing against your clit and sending waves of pleasure through you.

“Fuck- you’re so fucking perfect, sweetheart.” Her arms wrapped around your waist as your hands interlaced with hers on your stomach. She pressed kisses against the valley of your neck, eying you through the mirror with a small smile.

“You take me so well, Mommy.” She muttered, a whine following soon after. Her breasts bumped against your back as her hips drew back only to push forward once again.

“Please-” You were cut off with a small whimper, her drooling tip teasing your bud causing your eyes to roll back. Her hands explored your body quickly before stopping at your breasts, her fingers pinching and tweaking your hardened nipples.

“Such a pretty Mommy, ‘love you so much.” Her pace was uneven and sloppy as she chased after you, trying to bask in every thrust as her mouth fell open in a silent scream.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck! Oh, god, you feel so good!” She stuffed her face in the brink of your neck, biting down on the skin to quiet herself and causing a hiss of pain from your side.

“‘M sorry, you just- yes! You’re so perfect, Mommy, ‘m so fucking lucky.” Each word that left her mouth had you melting and had your cunt clenching. She was teasing you, really, causing your hand to travel to your clit. Your thumb brushed against her sensitive head, leading her to cry out even more.

“I think- I think I’m gonna cum. C-can I cum? Please? Please, I need it so bad.” You only smiled, admiring her desperate state. Knowing that you were the one who made her so…needy, turned you on even further.

“Yes, yes, yes! Please cum all over me, honey, please.” It only took seconds for her finish to paint your legs, weakened whimpers escaping her. Her hold on you had tightened as she blew out deep breaths, clutching onto any part of you that she could.

“Shit, that was amazing.” She let out, resulting in your agreeance. Her heart was beating fast, sweat covering both of your tired bodies, but she wasn’t done just yet.

“You see how much I love you, baby?” She started. “You’re perfect, at least to me you are. You don’t need to see it yet, but I promise I’m gonna spend the rest of my life proving to you every single day that you’re the only one I want.” She was sincere, and you didn’t know if it was that or her words that created tears.

“I love you so much, Carol.” She liked the way her name rolled off your tongue, it would never get old.

“I love you to the moon and back, darling.” But even that wasn’t true, because she loved you more than that. She loved you like no other, and she hoped someday you’d truly see that.

a/n: I started writing fanfic when I was in my teens, typing away into the night as a way to feel connected to my faves. Eventually I stopped, maybe convinced myself that I'd grown out of it, but that definitely wasn't the case. Truth is the stories have always been there, and I've always wanted to tell them. I'm happy to have found my way back to fanfic, back to the sense of community and all those other amazing fucking stories that I've read here. I've been lucky enough to have my things put on rec lists and now I want to make one of my own. I've been compiling a list of submissions, along with some of my faves and I offer them up to you, humbly. This list in no way encompasses all of the masterpieces I've read, just doing my best with the shitshow that is my memory lol. I am beyond lucky to have reached such a wild milestone, thanks for following along-please enjoy and show these creators some love!

"PLEADING FOR MY LIFE" 𝗢𝗡𝗘

ᴘᴀɪʀɪɴɢ: ᴅᴀʀʏʟ ᴅɪxᴏɴ x ꜰᴇᴍ!ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ ᴇʀᴀ: ᴛʜᴇ Qᴜᴀʀʀʏ ᴘʀᴏɴᴏᴜɴꜱ: ꜱʜᴇ/ʜᴇʀ ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢꜱ: ᴅʀᴜɢꜱ ᴍᴇɴᴛɪᴏɴꜱ, ᴡɪᴛʜᴅʀᴀᴡᴀʟ ᴍᴇɴᴛɪᴏɴꜱ,, ᴛᴡᴅ ᴛʜᴇᴍᴇꜱ. ᴀʙᴜꜱᴇ, ꜰᴀᴍɪʟʏ ɪꜱꜱᴜᴇꜱ. ꜱᴜᴍᴍᴀʀʏ: ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴀɴ'ᴛ ꜱᴛᴏᴘ ᴛʜɪɴᴋɪɴɢ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴀꜱᴛ.

The first time you remember going to church is when you were ten. your mother tried to hold the reputation of being a normal family in Seattle, although tales of your fathers blind rage and your mothers affairs threaded through out the small town you lived in quickly.

when you were ten, church was different than when you grew up…it used to be pure, normal, innocent. although as you grew older and deeper into addiction it felt sinful to even stand in the door of one. as if you’d burst into flames in a matter of seconds.

Port Had-falls, Seattle. 2003

you didn’t know exactly how it started, but it felt beautiful…calming. as if you couldn’t feel the pain your body was in before. but even standing in the middle of that walkway, watching the statue of Jesus that was a few steps away.

thinking, maybe he’d save you? let you fade away into darkness to finally be free. “what are you doing in here?” the voice wasn’t startling at all, in fact. you hardly even noticed it until she appeared next to you.

“just…y’know, visiting my lord and savior?” you joked, feeling your legs about to give out. you slowly sat down, looking up at the woman. Danielle, one of the only sober people you actually knew. she basically kept you out of trouble in the world.

“you don’t believe in god?” Dani whispered, leaning against a few chairs.

“God would never let…this happen to me, whatever this even is”

Outside Atlanta city, 2010.

Days had been getting better, or maybe worse? better for everyone else but you. Lori’s husband made a miraculous return. and Merle Dixon was probably dead. at least there was one problem gone. then Rick grimes had planned a mission to rescue him? yeah no way..

“Y/N, would you like to help us with some laundry?” Carol asked, placing her hand upon our shoulder.

perhaps, you should probably get into talking to people, now that your brain isn’t so fogged. “sure, be there in a few” and that's how you ended up here, talking about things you missed in the world before now.

“I do miss my Maytag” Carol said first, scrubbing some clothes that belonged to one of the men in the group. “I miss my Benz, my sat nav” Andrea…you didn’t have any opinions on her, no reason to like or hate her really. “i miss my coffee maker, with my duel drip filter. and built in grinder, honey” Jacqui, you really liked Jacqui. “my computer…texting” Amy, Andrea’s younger sister sighed.

“what about you, Y/N?” you missed many things, it was hard to pick just one. “i guess, i miss…my novels the most?” you groan, scrubbing a pear of boxers in the water.

“I miss my vibrator” all the girls around giggled. and before you even thought, you responded with a “same” causing even louder laughter. the next few seconds were a small blur, but at some point. ed showed up,

Ed reminded you of your father…a disgusting man, so when you saw the way he was treating Andrea, his wife and his daughter.

and the second he slapped Carol it was like your mind switched, suddenly you weren’t as weak. or maybe it was the Adrenalin but you punched him..hard. but just like your father, he was stronger. very quickly over-powering you, punching you in the face and causing you to drop to the floor.

your mind was blank, and fogged again until you woke up to screaming, gunshots and shouts of peoples names…walkers had invaded camp, and you couldn’t help. no, you could barely even stand properly without falling onto the cold floor. your consciousness fading in and out. in the morning, you’d managed to sit down on one of the steps of the RV. it was a start.

“what in gods name happened to you.” T-dog winced at the state of your face, causing the attention of countless others.

“Wild possum” you responded, “sum’ wild possum” Daryl grunted in a ‘yeah fucking right’ look, you only gave a stern look in his direction. asshole.

as you looked around you took note of a few things, carrying bodies to piles…and Amy dead, with a sad Andrea crouched over her. poor girl.

“can you stand?” Glenn was probably the person you were closest with, “No, not really. possum really did a number on me” he placed his hand out for you to take, which you do. his warm one in your clammy hot one. “i am just gonna help you sit in a beach chair, outside” his sweet.

“Thanks Glenn” you smile, wincing slightly as he lowered you into the chair. arms wrapping around each other, “aren’t ya’ hot?” Daryl questions, signaling to the long sleeve shirt you never took off

“nope, I am great” fake smiling so bright you swear he actually cringed, but it took him off your back “whatever ya’ say”

in that moment, you left yourself pleading for your life back.

dec' 17 x miracle

Prompt: miracle Pairing: jack daniels x reader Word Count: 743 Warnings: a little bit of spice, as always Jack comes with his own warnings, barely beta'd and all mistakes are my own. Summary: your time with Jack is drawing to a close and you try to enjoy what time you have left, but Jack as always has to have the last word on anything. AO3: Linked

x. masterlist

The room was dimly lit by the soft glow of the bedside lamp, outside the snow was coming down again, and you tried not to think about what was left for you to do back at the ranch and how it would be delayed if you got stuck at the Statesman Ranch.

But before you could dwell on the moment Jack’s hands were everywhere, and you arched beneath him, your hands finding their way into his hair, tugging gently at the strands. Which only did well to spur him on, his movements becoming more deliberate and more focused as if he was trying to commit every second of that moment into memory.

Jack's breathing was a gentle rhythm against your skin. He was close, so close that his breath tickled the nape of your neck as he spoke into your ear.

“You know, darlin', I could get used to this,” he whispered, his Southern drawl more pronounced in the stillness of the room. His hand traced idle patterns on your bare arm, sending shivers down your spine that had nothing to do with the cool night air.

“You say that now,” you replied.

He chuckled, the sound vibrating against your skin as he nuzzled closer. “You doubtin' my sincerity?”

You lay there, tangled in the sheets with Jack, his arm now across your waist, holding you close. You turned to face him, his dark eyes shining in the dim light, and smiled. “I'm not doubting anything. I just know how quickly things can change.”

He looked at you for a long moment, watching you as if trying to read your thoughts before leaning in for a kiss, his lips were warm and soft against yours.

But then he pulled back, brushing his thumb over your cheek. “I suppose I can't argue with that,” he said, the corners of his lips turning up in an easy smile that had you melting against him. “But believe me when I say this isn't going to change anytime soon.”

He kissed you again—deeper this time—as if to prove it.

The taste of the whiskey he’d drank downstairs lingered on your lips as he pulled back, and you opened your eyes to find his face still barely inches from yours. His dark eyes were bright and happy, the corners crinkling with his smile, a bittersweet sight.

“Okay, but can we just focus on this here,” you said as you tried to capture his lips again to bring him back to the moment, but only to have him pull back, teasing you with a wicked grin.

“I do love it when you get demanding, darlin',” he said, his voice low and husky as his hand slipped between your bodies, stroking you in all the right places.

You bit your lip and squeezed your eyes closed in an attempt to stave off your annoyance, sometimes Jack was a bit too much talk, “Jack, can we get back to the task at hand? Before we get interrupted again?”

Jack nibbled at your neck, his lips searing your skin as he spoke. “My roomie's out all night,” he said playfully. 

You groaned, “Jack, didn’t you know that silence can be golden?” you quipped, a teasing tone threading through your whisper. It was a feeble attempt to quiet him, but the twinkle in his eye told you he heard a challenge more than a plea.

Jack's response was not with words, but with action. He shifted, his movements fluid and sure, rolling you over gently but with an unmistakable intent. His presence was a comfortable weight atop you, his gaze holding yours with an intensity that reignited the fire within you.

“Silence is overrated,” he murmured against your lips.

You laughed as his moustache ticked the underside of your jaw and his lips moved lower, “It’s going to take a Christmas miracle to get you to be quiet isn’t it?”

His lips found yours and you felt the grin spread across his mouth, “Darlin', I'm like a Christmas carol – better when sung loud and proud,” he quipped, his eyes glinting with mischief, his voice muffled against your skin as he continued his trail of kisses.

Your groan at his need for the last word was lost with a kiss, deep and all-consuming. The future, with its impending decisions and unavoidable changes, was waiting for you, but there in Jack’s arms the ticking clock was a little quieter and it would do for now.

Chapter Ten: Baby

Wednesday May 15th, 1985 around 4:00 P.M. 

It was a blisteringly hot late afternoon on the Hawkins High softball field where the team was currently practicing a play through. The sprinklers ticked in the distance at the baseball field where the little league was practicing. Danny stood, her hand leaning on the metal bat, her hip jutted out. She chewed at her cheek, watching the field and the other girls. Steve had, so far and somehow, went unnoticed as he held onto the chainlink fence, his nose pressed against the cold metal. He came by to talk to Danny, but stopped to watch. Steve Harrington had been to every game he could manage to get to of Danny’s since freshman year, but he would never admit to that. He used to make it a point to keep out of sight of Danny and anyone that might make fun of him for simply being there, like Tommy or Carol. But sneaking around every game just to watch a girl you didn’t know very much didn’t mean anything, right? 

Danny was up to bat. Steve didn’t care to think about how many times his eyes flicked from where she was hitting, to her ass, the softball pants weren’t helping. Suddenly the ball left the pitcher's hand and there was a loud smack as Danny swung, instantly throwing the bat behind and dashing to first base. From the years of essentially spying on Danny, he knew that she was the fastest and the most reckless player on the team. She had made it to first base practically in the blink of an eye. The next girl was up to bat, a powerhouse hitter, Steve smirked, watching Danny lead off the base, watching the pitcher intently. As her arm swang, Danny was at second base. When the next ball was hit Danny made a run for it, flying over third base and diving home with a smile plastered to her face. 

Without thinking Steve cheered, “Way to go Danny!” 

Danny whipped her head around as she dusted herself off, her eyes widening, “Steve?” She jogged up to the fence, “What are you doing here?” Steve ignored the way her fingers felt brushing against his own as she clung to the chainlink fence. From behind Danny came some whistling and kissing sounds. One even shouted over Get some Danny!

“Oh,” Steve said, thinking, “Just came by to ask, um,” Steve ducked his head, he thought this would be easier. “Well, if you…if you…shit,” Steve knew he was beet red. 

“What Steve?” Danny asked through a small chuckle. Her tongue darted out, wetting her lips, waiting in anticipation. Steve thought for a moment, he didn’t know if he could physically or emotionally handle rejection from Danny Henderson. 

He looked into her eyes, his own switching between her eyes and smiling mouth, the top of her wrinkled nose. “I was wondering if,” he averted his eyes, suddenly very interested in his shoes. He scrunched his face, “did you need a ride home today?” Shit, you idiot. 

“You came here, to ask… if I needed a ride home?” Danny’s smile faded. “I mean shit, sure, Harrington, I guess I just assumed I already had one with you,” her hands fell to her side, and onto her hips. “Why? You got some hot date?” She asked, clearly irritated. 

“What? No! I just wanted to make sure you weren't like going home with Eddie or something. I mean, c’mon, I saw you guys hanging out earlier, so…I just thought. Maybe you were gonna go over there, and,” Jesus Harrington, shut up. 

 “And what? Get high? Spend the night and screw?” Danny asked, loud enough for her team to hear. Steve cringed, shoving his hands in his pockets. 

“No, I didn’t mean it like that,” Steve tried to explain. 

“I know what you meant,” Danny began to stomp away. 

“C’mon Danny! You know I didn’t mean it like that,” Steve chased her along the fence. “C’mon baby, let me drive you home,” the words just slipped out of his mouth. Danny stopped, turned, and rounded the fence, coming face to face with Steve. 

“You’ve made one thing clear just now, I am not your baby,” Danny pressed her hands against Steve’s chest and shoved him back. Steve stumbled back, he knew she was holding back, he knew she could push harder, punch, bite, and kick. She was holding back. “Ya know, maybe you can give Tammy a ride home, I mean I saw you two in study hall together, no really, you’re cute together, why don’t you add her to the list?” Danny spat, she regretted the words instantly. Steve felt his heart tighten, he held back tears from welling. 

“Okay,” came the tired voice of their team captain, Stacy, “that’s enough,” she grabbed the back of Danny’s collar and dragged her into the dugout. Danny grumbled as her teammates tried to give her words of reassurance. 

“We for sure thought he was gonna ask you to prom Danny,” Hannah S. said. Danny glared at her. 

“He’s an idiot to not have,” Carmen piped up. 

“Yeah dude, sorry about all that, man the worst breakups are the ones where they weren’t even dating,” Sofia added. 

“Guys!” Yelped Stacy, “give her some room.” 

“God, this sucks,” Danny choked, the girls around her patting her back. “And he looked so hot,” she gasped back a sob, her hands flying to her face. The other girls continued to comfort her. “I mean, did you see his arms?” She sobbed, her voice muffled. 

“Yeah,” Stacy spoke in solidarity. 

Stacy had given Danny a ride home and a free lecture on why she shouldn’t be concerned with boys to begin with and focus on softball and grades. Danny tried to take it to heart, she was just looking out for her. 

Danny laid faced down on her bed, face smushed into her pillow. There was a creak in the floor coming from the hallway. “Are you okay?” Dustin asked from her doorway. Danny threw up a silent thumbs up. She felt the bed shift from Dustin’s weight. With some hesitation, Dustin rested his hand on her back. “Is it Steve?” Danny attempted at some response, but Dustin couldn’t understand her, but he got the gist. “Look Steve, Steve is cool, like really cool, I think some people underestimate his coolness…but you’re cooler, at least I think so,” Dustin attempted to comfort. Danny rose as if suddenly possessed, her eyeliner staining her face. “You’re the coolest big sister anyone could want. You play Dungeons and Dragons! You’re a sick artist, and you listen to badass music. Look I love Steve, but he must be a total idiot if makes you feel like this.” 

“But it was me,” Danny cried. “I was mean, I shouldn’t have said what I said, he doesn’t deserve that! I just wanted him to ask me to prom!” She sobbed, her head falling into Dustin’s shoulder, soaking his sweatshirt with snot and tears, Dustin held back a grimace. 

“I knew this would happen, I warned him,” Dustin chided. Danny sat back up, glaring at her little brother through smeared makeup. 

“What?” 

“Yeah, around last Halloween, I told him to be nice, because it would be torture if he did something you didn’t like,” Dustin explained. 

“You shithead,” Danny laughed. 

“I also swore him to secrecy of the conversation,” Dustin smiled. 

“Yeah and you broke your part of the deal apparently.” 

Danny sat freshly showered in her pajamas on the floor of her room. A D&D book in hand, mindlessly flipping through, staring at the drawings. Her sketchbook lay forgotten and open next to her. A drawing she had been working on of Steve facing up. He was sat on a park bench, sweaty and beautiful, just as always. Outside it was now dark and it had begun to rain, the first of many summer storms to come. All evening she thought of calling Steve, but her stubbornness forbade her from doing so. 

Danny looked up as her Cramps tape began to skip. Danny reached over to whack her tape deck, it continued to skip, so she continued to hit. Distracted by the dying tape and fogged by the tapping of hard rain, Danny didn’t notice that Steve Harrington had opened her bedroom window. But she did hear the creak in the floor as his foot stepped down. Danny rushed upwards, tape deck in hand, ready to throw. Steve’s eyes widened as he let the window slip, with only half of his body inside the window came down hard on his rounded back and head. The smile that Steve had due to his success of sneaking in quickly faded into a scowl. “Steve!” Danny yelped, nearly jumping out of her skin, hand flying to clutch her chest. She dropped her tape deck, probably too hard. Steve’s hands flew to the back of his head and his toes curled in his sneakers. 

“Ow,” he squeaked. 

“Steve, what are you doing?” Danny asked, dashing over to pull him out of the window sill. Together, Steve pushed his way into Danny’s room, careful to catch the window and set it down gently. 

“Picking you up,” he replied nonchalantly. 

“Hm?” Danny raised her eyebrow. 

“For Tina’s party,” Steve said again like it was obvious. There was a pregnant pause, “And I’m also here to apologize for being an asshole.” 

“But– she has got to stop having parties on weekdays – but earlier,” Danny looked up at Steve. He looked back down at her with his kind eyes and his simply sweet smile. “Oh god, Steve, no, I’m sorry, I should have never said those things about Tammy or Eddie, I’m the asshole,” Danny could cry. 

“No, no,” Steve waged his finger, “I’m the asshole,” he said through a grin. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me,” he added. But, he knew what was wrong with him. “You’re a terrific girl, person, and I shouldn’t judge what you do or-or who you do, or who you’re not doing? Look,” Steve paused, letting his head fall. His fingers played with her finger tips at her sides. “I’m sorry, could you please forgive me, the last few hours have been torture for me,” he pleaded with his big brown eyes. 

“Only if you forgive me.” 

“I’d be an idiot not too,” he smiled. “Now, personally, I think you look great, like totally hot, but is that what you’re wearing to Tina’s super cool and hip party?” Steve bit his cheek, trying to hold back a laugh. Danny quickly looked down at her spacey and torn apart t-shirt and her plaid shorts. 

“You think I should change? I thought this kinda made a statement like I’d rather be sleeping than at this lame party, ” Danny retorted. 

“Well if that’s what you’re going for, then you nailed it,” Steve replied. 

“I should probably change, huh?” 

“I mean at least shoes, it is raining, but I am more than happy to carry you out that window and into my car, and then into Tina’s house, though I’d prefer it if you could give me a break once in the house, I’m not Superman. I mean I’m strong, just not superhuman strong ya’ know?” Steve joked as he sat with a heavy thud on Danny’s bed. Danny quickly kicked her sketchbook under her bed before he could notice it. 

“Right, I’ll change, stud,” Danny replied. 

“Hey, this song is relatable,” Steve said, noticing the music, Danny hadn’t noticed that it had stopped skipping. It was playing Let’s Get Fucked Up, Lets get fucked up, let’s do some stuff, and get fucked up, 

“I kinda figured I wouldn’t be going to the party, I have no idea what to wear,” Danny called, her head halfway buried in her dresser. 

“You always look good, I wouldn’t stress about it,” Steve leaned back, bracing himself on his palms. Beneath his fingers he felt the material of not a comforter. Steve glanced down and then back up. His head whipped back down after it registered to him what he had seen. A pair of black lacy underwear were practically in his grasp. Danny’s black lacy underwear. He looked back at Danny who was still drowning in her dresser. He pushed his fingers down, inspecting the fabric. He let out a heavy sigh as he pushed the panties aside, attemping to ignore them, but the feeling was burned into his fingertips. Clothes were flying left and right, some hitting Steve directly in the face. He leaned down to pick up some shirts, gently folding them back into place and setting them aside. “The rains made it kinda cold outside, be sure to wear a jacket or something,” Steve politely pointed out. 

Danny turned with a pile of clothes held tightly to her chest. “Okay,” she said in a hurry as she rushed into her bathroom, leaving the door half open. 

“Danny there's no rush! Really!” Steve collected the rest of her trashed wardrobe and folded them as well. Hands shoved in his pocket Steve did his usual inspection routine of wandering around Danny’s room. He stared at the pictures above her bedside table, dozens of polaroids of the kids, Dustin, Nancy, Eddie, a couple old ones of Barb, and of himself. Plenty of photos of himself, with an arm around Danny or just by himself. His eyes shifted downwards towards a book, The Return of the King, sticking out of it was what looked like another polaroid. And Steve’s curiosity got the better of him. Gingerly, he lifted the book, his fingers pushing it open. His breath hitched when he saw the photo inside that was being used as a bookmark. It was of him from a few months back, taken during spring break. Him, Danny, and the kids had gone to the lake for the day, picnic and swimsuits packed. In the picture, Steve is squinting at the camera with a toothy smile on his face, his hair damp, spots of water and sand sticking to his tan skin in his soaked swim trunks. 

“Steve?” Danny called from her bathroom, making Steve jump and slam the book shut. Steve wondered what else he would be able to find in Danny’s room without interruption or a conscience. 

“Yeah?” He responded. 

“Can you, um, grab me a bra?” 

“Uh huh,” Steve answered, coming back to reality upon that particular request. Steve eyed her dresser, he slowly made his way over, his hands ghosting over the knobs. He pulled the drawer open. Steve almost had a heart attack at the sudden sight of all the bras and panties mixed in with socks and pajamas. His hands hovered over the variety of colors and materials. “Um, which one?” Steve stuttered out. 

“Doesn’t matter.” 

Steve scanned over the choices, a handful of lacy white ones, a couple black ones, a pretty pink frilly one, a leopard one that he bet Eddie would love - if he didn’t already - and finally, his eyes landed on a blue one, making his stomach turn. With a mostly sheer material, the underwire a darker blue. A tiny bow rested in the center where the cups met. Steve took it out, sneaking a peak at the size. He held on tightly as he entered her bathroom, so distracted from keeping his eyes glued to the bra, he forgot to announce his arrival. He looked up, met with Danny without a shirt, but one pressed to her chest with one hand. “Shit sorry,” Steve mumbled, “here.” Before Steve could leave the bathroom, Danny was turned around, the shirt pooled at her feet, clipping the bra on. Steve managed to get out some garbled incoherent sentences in protest. Steve turned into the doorway, tearing his eyes away from the mirror. As he worked on not picturing his best friend's breasts, keeping in mind his other best friend's sister's breasts, Danny pushed past him in the doorway, her t-shirt back in hand, pressing against him as she did. She had a pair of blue jeans that Steve immediately recongized, a pair of jeans he thanked God for. Steve was in for it now, with the thick denim melted to her rear. Steve attempted to push his rushing, blood red thoughts to the back of his mind. Danny tossed on her t-shirt, it was her black “D.A.R.E'' t-shirt. She had gotten it at a school assembly. Over that, she put on her worn out jean jacket. 

Steve helped Danny out the window, always the gentleman, holding out his hand as she stepped down from the window sill. He ran over to the passenger side to open the door, and made sure she was buckled in. Danny had stopped buckling altogether after discovering Steve would do it for her. Steve had snagged Danny’s Cramps tape to keep listening whilst in the car. 

Steve pulled up to Tina’s, “I mean honestly it’s 10 o’clock on a school night, what are they thinking?” Danny scoffed. 

“Okay grandma, you were the one who wanted to go initially,” Steve retorted. 

Danny glanced over at Steve, “Look I’m judging myself on this one too, I don’t know what I’m thinking either,” Danny explained as she undid her seat belt. “Besides there's Eddie’s van, and I’m dying for a smoke.” 

Steve exited his car, shutting the door, “Does Edward know that you use him for drugs?” 

“Yes.” 

“Oh, okay,” Steve mumbled. 

Danny glanced up at Steve as they walked side by side, her shoulder bumping into his arm, thinking carefully of the venomous words about to escape her lips, “Ya’ know I used to use him for more than his weed, like D&D and other stuff.” 

Steve smiled, knowing she was teasing, “And did the other stuff start with a “d” too?” 

“Oh yeah,” Danny teased with a nod. 

“Drugs, dick, and Dungeons and Dragons,” Steve laughed. “Do you think you have enough “d” in your life, Danny, ” Steve leaned in close to make his point. 

“I am actually missing more of those than I care to admit,” Danny laughed along, as she opened the front door, passing a dozen or so drunk teens, hiding under the porch from the rain still pouring. 

Steve kept his eyes on Danny, his head turned towards her, “Right, well one of those things I could–” 

“Stevie!” 

Steve was suddenly sent stumbling back as Tammy Thompson threw her arms around him, her legs finding their way around his waist. Steve let out a hardy “oft” as his back thudded against the closed door. 

“Stevie?” Danny grimaced. “Who calls you Stevie?” Danny shoved her hands in her pockets. 

“I do, silly!” Tammy proclaimed, beginning to pepper Steve’s face with quick kisses, making Danny sick to her stomach. 

“Tammy, Tammy, Tammy, okay-okay, off,” Steve wrestled with the drunk girl as Danny left the scene, on the hunt for Eddie. After asking a group of people smoking if they had seen Eddie and them directing her upstairs, she was making her way to him. 

Stomping up the stairs, Danny kept her eyes glued to the floor so she didn’t notice that she was about to bump into her friend. Her body stopped with a sudden thud, hands grabbing her shoulders. “Shit, sorry–” 

“Hey baby,” Eddie smiled, laying on so much sugar, Danny practically got a cavity hearing it. 

“I am not your baby,” she replied sternly, poking a finger into his chest, pushing past him. Eddie was quick to follow on her tail. 

“Whoa, what’s got your panties in a twist?” Eddie asked, before quickly spotting Tammy practically crawling on Harrington from below. “Or should I say who?” Eddie was stopped in his tracks when Danny whipped around, toe to toe, a mean scowl plastered on her face. “Okay, okay, sorry, forget I mentioned it,” he threw his hands up in defense. 

“I need a smoke,” Danny spoke, more to the universe than her friend/drug dealer, Eddie. She slipped into an unoccupied bedroom, Eddie trailing behind. Danny jumped onto Tina’s parents bed, letting her weight loose and arms above her head. Eddie silently closed the door behind him. 

“Well, I’ve got just the thing,” Eddie responded, tossing a bag of weed next to Danny, dropping to his knees and taking out rolling papers. Danny sat up, dramatically, pulled open the bag and inhaled deeply. Her hand quickly found cash inside her pocket, she proceeded to shove that money into Eddie’s breast pocket. Eddie looked down at what she was doing as he grabbed the bag. “You don’t pay me?” He questioned sweetly, brows furrowed. 

“I should,” Danny replied simply. 

“I would disagree, but I won’t complain,” Eddie shrugged. “So Tammy Thompson?” Eddie quickly eyed Danny, knowing she was glaring. “Poor Danny,” Eddie pouted. 

“Shut up and roll,” Danny instructed. 

“Yes mommy,” Eddie responded. 

“You pig,” Danny scoffed. 

“So, lovers quarrel?” 

“We got into a fight after school today,” Danny stated. 

“About Tammy?” Eddie asked, carefully crushing the substance and packing it into the rolling papers. 

“And you.” 

“Little ol’ me? I’m flattered,” Eddie grinned. 

“I think I was putting words into his mouth though,” Danny explained. 

“I can think of a few things you’d rather put in Steve Harrington’s mouth,” Eddie raised his eyebrow as he licked the paper. Danny stared at him, eyebrow raised, Eddie coughed. “Right, sorry,” he let out a small laugh. “I don’t know about that, he still stares when he sees us hanging out, he doesn’t like me,” he placed the joint in his mouth and took out his lighter. 

“That’s not true,” Danny protested. 

“Yeah it is,” Eddie’s voice muffled from lighting the smoke. “Not necessarily me, but the threat of me I suppose,” Eddie inhaled before handing the joint to Danny. 

“You’re not so scary,” Danny huffed. 

“He’s scared I still like you, that you still like me, that we’re gonna sleep together,” Eddie explained, taking a seat next to Danny. 

“I’m just his friend, he doesn’t like me like that,” she paused, realizing she wasn’t actively denying her own feelings for Steve. “I don’t like him like that either!” 

“Yeah right, and I’ve never smoked before,” Eddie scoffed. “Look Danny, we both know you’ve got it bad for our King Steve downstairs. And, at least I know, from the way he looks like he wants to eat you, he’s got it real bad for you. Steve is too much of a gentlemen, he’s waiting for you to ask him to fuck your brains out,” Eddie explained nonchalantly. Danny coughed out a puff of smoke. 

“He is not,” Danny gasped. 

“Shit yeah he is,” Eddie retorted, “I see the way he looks at you, same way I do–did.” 

Danny looked up at Eddie, “Eddie,” she warned. 

Eddie threw his hands up, “Don’t worry, I know it’s not gonna happen, but believe me sweetheart, Steve wants you, shit, he probably needs you, and you clearly need him too,” Eddie paused. “And I don’t just mean like sexually–” 

Danny cringed, “Ew.”

“Shove it,” Eddie elbowed her. “I mean you also just need each other, you need to be friends, dating, or whatever, that’s obvious, meant for each other and stuff.” 

“I don’t know Eds, he’s a ladies man, all the girls love him, everyone loves him, he’s not afraid to go after who or what he wants. He wanted Nancy, he got her, wouldn’t he have said something by now?” Danny said miserably. 

“No, you scare him that’s all, because if you reject him, you’re not only saying you don’t love him back–which you do, don’t deny it– and that ultimately your friendship would be over,” Eddie replied. 

“I don’t think we’d stop being friends.” 

“It wouldn’t be the same. Steve was never friends with Nancy, this is different. And before he couldn’t say anything ‘cause you hung out with people like me and he hung out with people like Tommy H and Carol, ‘ya know, assholes,” Eddie took a long hit and paced the joint to Danny. 

“Before?” Danny questioned. 

“Before you were friends, he liked you then too.” 

“What!?” 

“Jesus H Christ! Are you really that blind Henderson?” Eddie exclaimed. 

“He hated me!” Danny yelled back. 

“Oh please, that was all an act. He’s always had it for you, freshmen year we all had writing and algebra together, he stared at you all fuckin’ class, it was sickening, I mean, so did I,” Eddie explained. “A few times, when we would be in pairs or groups, he was a nervous wreck around, before he knew how to hide behind being a dick all the time.” 

“But I’ve had a crush on him since then,” Danny groaned, falling back into the bed. 

“That was also obvious,” Eddie laughed, falling down next to her. 

“How come you know all this?” Danny turned, smiling at Eddie. 

“I am very observant,” he explained happily. 

“I can’t believe you won’t be graduating with me,” Danny spoke softly. Eddie looked up at the ceiling. “You’re destined for something so much greater than high school man.” 

“Like what?” 

“Being on stage, in front of thousands of people cheering your name.” 

“Now that’s a nice thought, but I don’t think so,” Eddie sighed. 

“Well you better start thinking Munson, cause it’s true, you’re a star, a star among the dust that is Hawkins, Indiana,” Danny joined Eddie in looking at the ceiling. 

“Are you high?” Eddie asked through a smile. 

“Very much so, but don’t let that make you think differently on what I’ve said, cause it’s all true. You better graduate next year, or I’m gonna kick your ass.” 

Eddie chuckled, “Don’t threaten me with a good time.”

“Pervert,” Danny elbowed him. 

A loud knock came from the closed and forgotten door, “Danny! Danny! Are you in there?” Came the concerned voice of the one and only Steve Harrington. Danny quickly got up to open the door, Steve stood up against the doorframe, his forearm resting on it near his head, taking up too much space. “There you are,” he sighed with relief. His hands quickly found her shoulders, squeezing them gently, Danny’s cheeks burned. “Are you okay, what are you doing?” 

“I’m fine, just smoking with Eddie,” Danny gestured to Eddie who smiled and waved at Steve. 

“Hey Munson,” Steve responded politely. “I’m sorry about Tammy, I promise I didn’t encourage any of that, honest,” he put his hand over his heart. “She’s drunk and I am not into her like that.” 

“Anyone in particular that you are into like that?” Eddie asked casually, stretching as he stood. 

“Wha–” 

“That’s enough out of you Eddie,” Danny chuckled nervously. Steve looked between Eddie and Danny, momentarily, concerned with what he had missed. Eddie approached Steve, stepping too close, Steve didn’t move, if anything he stood up taller, chest puffed out a little, still standing in the way of the doorframe. Now Danny looked between Steve and Eddie, rolling her eyes at their masculine behavior. 

“Hi Steve,” Eddie grinned, cocking his head ever so slightly. “Could I get past you big boy?” 

Steve huffed, before moving out of the way, letting Danny pass as well. Steve walked up behind Danny. Eddie leaned on the railing looking over the party downstairs, Danny stood next to him, and Steve now on the other side. Three of them stood silently, observing the party goers. 

“I have to pee,” Danny declared, she first smiled at Steve and turned to scowl at Eddie, a clear sign to keep his mouth shut. 

To say the two teen boys stood in an awkward silence would be an understatement. Both chewed the inside of their cheeks to avoid saying anything that had anything to do with Danny and what the other boy thought of her. Steve was first to speak, “So…are you gonna go to prom?” 

Eddie let out a quiet laugh, “I seriously doubt it, you taking Danny?” Eddie really needed to work on keeping his mouth shut, that took less than a minute, Danny would kill him. 

“Oh,” Steve thought of their fight from earlier, if he had just asked what he wanted to ask, he would have a real answer to that question. “Um, I don’t think so, we’re just friends ya’ know?” Steve glanced over at Eddie quickly, looking for a change in facial expression, no such luck. 

“Right, just friends, I don’t see why you can’t take Danny,” Eddie scoffed. 

“Well, like I just said, we’re just friends,” Steve retorted. 

Eddie rolled his eyes, he wanted to shout the obvious, but instead opted for, “Ya’ know that we used to be a thing, maybe not very official, but definitely a thing. She hasn’t had any interest in me though since you two became friends though…wonder why,” Eddie turned to Steve. 

“Yeah, obviously I know that you two used to date,” Steve scoffed. 

“Mhm,” Eddie minutely moved closer to Steve. 

“Sometimes I think she might still like you,” Steve confessed. 

“Oh no, not at all, she has made that very clear to me,” Eddie answered genuinely. 

“Really?” Steve perked up briefly. 

“Really,” Eddie smiled, his voice becoming lower, “ya’ know, the rumors about her aren’t true, she doesn’t sleep around.” 

“I know that,” Steve exclaimed in a hushed tone. “We’re best friends, of course I know that.” 

“Yeah, but,” Eddie kept going, Steve glanced over at him, “that’s just ‘cause she’s had her eye on one prize and one prize only. She had eyes on it too when we were going out even,” Eddie thought about what he was going to say next, thinking that Danny would thank him later, maybe kill him before she got the chance to thank him, but still. “I mean, like I could really be fucking her brains out, just dumb and silly, oh and her ass! Her tits!” Steve’s eyes widened, cheeks burning red, “But she would still talk about him and think about him.” 

“Dude! Don’t talk about Danny like that!” Steve exclaimed, Eddie grabbed his shoulder, insinuating to be quieter.

“I mean, the blowjobs she would give me were mind blowing, but it was only for practice really, and she hasn’t even gotten the chance to give this guy a mindblowing blowjob yet, he just can’t take a hint ,” Eddie continued, eyes narrowing at Steve. 

“Eddie, seriously man, that’s enough,” Steve warned. 

“Oh man,” Eddie threw his head back with a wide smile, “Don’t even get me started on her pu–” Steve’s hand clapped across Eddie's mouth, arm throwing around his shoulder to keep him from moving. 

“Hey Danny!” Steve said cheerfully, looking frantically between her and Eddie as she came walking up to them. 

“Hey guys, are you okay?” Danny asked cautiously. 

“Oh yeah, Eddie was just um, singing, it was really loud, so ya’ know,” Steve coughed, releasing Eddie, wiping his hand on his jeans where Eddie had been licking it that entire time. 

“Yeah,” Eddie caught his breath, “I just love this song,” he smirked. Steve’s cheeks were still on fire, and probably had already spread to his neck and chest. Danny’s hearing closed in on the song, it was “Don’t You Want Me” by the Human Leauge, which Danny loved, but knew Eddie had a distaste for. 

“Right,” Danny responded with suspicion. 

Eddie took out his bag of weed and placed it in Danny’s hands, along with some rolling papers. “I oughta get out of here sweetheart,” Eddie leaned forward, whispering in Danny’s ear, his eyes fixed on Steve behind her. Steve visibly annoyed. Eddie forced Danny’s hand to close, tapping her knuckles. “Harrington,” he nodded. 

“See ya’ later Eddie,” Steve mumbled, his eyes quickly finding Danny’s, a smile of relaxation on his face. Danny smiled back at him. 

“You okay? He didn’t bother you did he?” Danny asked with concern. 

Steve’s smile faded, the soft and warm images he had always made up in his head of Danny and Eddie were now replaced with a much more aggressive scene. He shook the thoughts away, “Oh yeah,” he reassured. 

“Okay, ‘cause I’ll kick his ass if he bugs you,” Danny replied seriously. 

“I believe you,” Steve chuckled. 

Danny held up the bag of weed to Steve’s face, shaking it, “Want some?” She grinned. 

Steve tried to hold back a smile, “Maybe just a little bit,” he scrunched his nose while gesturing with his fingers the little bit. 

“Sweet,” Danny said, shoving the bag into her pocket. “C’mon I want some air,” Danny’s hand reached for Steve’s, dragging him down the stairs and out the sliding doors leading to the backyard. 

Only a few stragglers were outside, chilling in the gazebo, but not much. A pool lay just on the other side of the doors, rain gently falling in, the pavement wet around it. Danny walked around, towards a little table with a large striped umbrella hanging over it. She took a heavy seat in the wet chair. Steve swallowed his grimace and took a seat in the other chair, trying to ignore the cold feeling. Danny began carefully rolling a joint. 

“How long have you been friends with Eddie?” Steve asked, Danny lifted an eyebrow. “I promise I’m just curious, you’ve never said anything about when you met or anything.” 

“Middle school, it was like the first week, he was trying to get kids to join his D&D campaign, so I joined. He was still so innocent when we first met. We didn’t become really close until December that year though. He was playing basketball in the gym when…” her voice trailed off. 

Steve stared at her, wondering why she had stopped, until he remembered, his eyes screwed shut and his head dipped back, “Shit,” he mumbled. 

“Oh my god,” Danny spoke, her mouth agape in a large smile. “He was playing basketball with you! Holy shit! How did I forget that?” Danny exclaimed, careful to not drop the joint in excitement. 

“Oh c’mon, let’s forget again,” Steve begged. 

“No! You guys were playing and you got into a fight, a gnarly one too,” Danny said excitedly. “Broken noses and everything, I can’t remember what you two were fighting about though,” Danny questioned. Steve remembered. “But I tackled you, holy shit this is funny, yeah I tackled you, knocked you to the ground, called you an asshole and everything, and we were all sent to the principal's office. That’s when I would say we really became friends. Oh man I can’t believe I forgot about that,” Danny smiled. 

Steve was quiet for a few moments. “I called you a freak.” 

“What?” Danny asked. 

“That’s why we were fighting, while we were playing he asked me for some advice on asking you to the Snow Ball, and I said,” Steve cringed, “ why would you ask a freak like her to the dance, she’s a waste.” Steve couldn’t look at Danny. He heard her lighting up the joint and taking a long inhale, her hand appeared in his vision, offering him a smoke. 

She gave out a small laugh, “It’s alright Steve, I got you back then and there anyway,” she reassured. 

“God I was a dick, I’m sorry Danny,” he sighed, taking a drag. 

“Really, don’t worry about it, I had mean things to say about you too back then,” Danny replied. Steve looked up at her, she continued, “Yeah, like barf face, butthead was a good one, jerk, and of course, asshole,” Danny smiled. 

“You know that I don’t think you’re a freak anymore right?” Steve asked with curiosity. 

“Of course you don’t, or you have come to terms that you are now one of us, a freak if you will,” Danny declared. 

“Better than an asshole right?” Steve smiled. 

“Much better, and I really only called you those things cause I kinda had a crush on you back then,” Danny let slip out, heart racing when she realized what had just left her mouth. 

“You used to have a crush on me?” Steve smiled widely, straightening in his seat. 

“Yeah but not since middle school,” Danny rushed out the lie, wishing she could take back what she had said. 

“Oh okay,” Steve grinned, he passed her the smoke. “Cute. So was Eddie your first kiss then?” 

“Um, no, I don’t know who my first kiss was with,” Danny said, attempting to ignore the cute comment. 

“What?” Steve questioned. 

“I don’t know who it was, it was at Carmen’s birthday party in 7th Grade. It was dumb we were playing a bad version of 7 minutes in heaven where the first person in the closet was blindfolded, someone came in and kissed me. It was nice, weird but nice, I mean neither of us clearly knew what we were doing. But they seemed nice, Carmen never told me who it was, no one did, kinda nice not knowing in a way. I think you were at that party too, right?” Danny shrugged. Steve fell eerily silent, eyes fixed on the pool. Steve was at Carmens birthday party. Steve had played the same game, he had been pushed into a closet without any knowledge who was in the dark space. He remembers giving a weak “hey” and then kissing a very soft pair of lips, his first ever. “Steve?” Danny pulled him back to reality. 

“Oh yeah,” Steve coughed, “I think I was there too, hard to keep track, lots of birthday parties to go to in middle school,” Steve smiled, though it was a struggle. 

“Yeah,” Danny chuckled. “What about you? Who was your first kiss?” 

“Hm? Oh, um Angie Cooper, nothing special, kissed her at the Snow Ball,” Steve lied through his teeth.

[gravalicious]

Toxic masculinity emerged within the mythopoetic men’s movement of the 1980s, coined by Shepherd Bliss. Bliss confirmed to me in a 2019 email that he coined the term to characterize his father’s militarized, authoritarian masculinity. In a 1990 interview, Bliss told Daniel Gross: “I use a medical term because I believe that like every sickness, toxic masculinity has an antidote” (Gross 1990, 14). During the 1990s and early 2000s, toxic masculinity spread from men’s movements to wider self-help, academic, and policy literature. This literature posited that emotionally distant father-son relationships produced “toxically” masculine men. In Man Enough: Fathers, Sons, and the Search for Masculinity (1993), family therapist Frank Pittman argues that men who lack adequate fathering pursue unrealistic cultural images of masculinity and feel a constant need to prove their manhood. Pittman’s regular column on men’s issues in New Women Magazine may have helped popularize the term. Family therapist Steve Biddulph (1997) similarly argued that boys need a strong bond with a father figure/male mentor to avoid becoming toxically masculine men. Boys need the right kind of masculinity, the idea goes, and mothers can’t give this to them. These psychologists posited toxic masculinity as culturally normative but curable through engaging men with fatherhood, positing an essentialist notion of masculine emotional development. Turn-of-the-century policy discourse picked up on this prescription. For example, the founder of the U.S. National Fatherhood Initiative, Don Eberly (1999a, 1999b), cited Pittman on fathering as an antidote to toxic masculinity in both his 1999 testimony to the U.S. House Judiciary Committee on youth culture and violence (called to discuss the Columbine school massacre) and in his edited book, Renewing the Sacred Vocation of Fathering (Eberly 1999a). Eberly suggested that emotionally absent fathers contributed to young men’s violence and was likely a factor in the Columbine shootings: “Young men badly need to see mature masculinity modeled (sic) out. Well seasoned masculinity fundamentally transforms the aggression of young males by capturing their masculine energy and directing it toward socially constructive pursuits” (Eberly 1999b). For Eberly, if young men turn to violence, they probably grew up with single mothers or at least had emotionally absent fathers.
