The fact people act like Steve wouldn't notice if a guy/Eddie was flirting with him at all, when part of the hilarity behind the big boy flirtation scene is that Steve CLEARLY knows something about the comment is off lol. That's why he looks so baffled. Steve can be oblivious about other things but come on Casanova over there is going to notice when someone is flirting with him even if it is a guy

The Butterfly Effect-Bucky Barnes x Powers!Reader
Tumblr media
(GIF credit to @rubyslaugh and UGH I LOVE THIS ONE)
Masterlist
Requested by anonymous
Summary: Okie so this is kinda a request but idk exactly what I want 😂 so basically like the reader is an avenger cause she got powers on accident in a lab (like banner) and she has the ability to control plants and like nature and bugs, and basically when ever Bucky is around butterflies form and start flying around her and the rest of the teams realizes but he’s oblivious. Eventually she admits her feelings but he’s not sure cause he’s scared to hurt her, but the end up together? Thank youuuu 💗
Characters: Bucky Barnes x Powers!Reader, mentions of Avengers
Meanings: (Y/N)=Your name
Warnings: slight swearing, mention of injuries, fluff
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tenderly watering the plants in the greenhouse, I smiled as they instantly lifted around me, growing a few centimetres taller, a little more vibrant in colour. Ever since the accident, my love for gardening grew, as well as my observations. My (dream) job had been working in a lab with different plants, some common and some rare; we were developing ways to grow vegetation quicker to help with problems such as deforestation. However, the company in charge and supplying the money for this huge project didn’t care as much as the scientists did, using radioactive chemicals as well as many other unknown substances. Of course we had protested about this but they didn’t listen. And for some reason, I was the one who took the fall. It was all a big accident, they were testing the substance without my permission, and I I tried to stop them it had spilt all over me. Then I discovered my new abilities.
Plants responded to me, I was able to control them, and now I could even form them out of my bare hands! Recently, insects had also started to respond to me, and one night after a wonderful dream, I awoke to find a butterfly unfolding in my hand. It was truly beautiful, but I had had to keep it a secret. Though I must have not done a good job of that seeing as I was recruited by the Avengers. I had never thought about fighting with plants, however after they showed me the aggression I could use behind it, I found that I was creating massive, twisted vines, enough to crush bones, to pull up the ground and split it open. The grounds weren’t looking too neat after that.
“Hey, (Y/N)! There you are.” Scott announced as he walked into the greenhouse, a wilted cactus in his hand.
“Hi, oh, he’s not looking too good there.”
“Yeah, that’s what I actually came here for.”
“Scott, that’s one of the easiest plants to look after, what happened?”
“Hey, it’s hard being a superhero and a plant mom too!”
“You can’t keep coming to me for help when a plant starts dying.”
“It’s only happened twice before. Please, I will take care of it.”
I sighed before taking the cactus from him, concentrating on making it better. It slowly straightened itself, a beautiful green colour slowly creeping up from the bottom of the plant to the top, the soil now a dark brown and wet. I handed it back over, feeling like a mother telling off their child.
“Thanks (Y/N). Foods ready by the way.”
As I followed him, I had one of those cliche moments; who would ever imagine being in a situation like this? An accident in a lab gave me powers and here I was, fighting with the Avengers; I was an Avenger! All my life I had been the nerdy girl, obsessed with vegetation, friendly but quiet, never speaking up unless absolutely necessary. Yet here I was, surrounded by these amazing people, not only amazing because of their powers and strengths, because of who they were and how they had accepted me. 
In a rare event that everyone was at the base (Steve, Tony, Nat, Clint and Bucky just back from a mission), we were all able to sit down and eat together. Wanda had taken on the role of chef here, a passion she had relighted to keep her happy and busy. She had plated up, some of the team already sat down. I went to grab a plate, bumping into Bucky. Immediately I retracted my hand, suddenly my usual composure tensing, heart beating slightly louder.
“Sorry, you get yours first.”
“Sorry.” I hated how quiet my voice was.
As I went to pick up the plate, three small appeared in my hand. I flinched as I saw them, causing them to flutter away. Wanda opened a window, watching as they flew outside.
“Sorry.” I repeated.“I didn’t actually mean to do that.”
Taking the food, I scurried to sit down, getting into the seat between Tony and Scott. Why had that happened? Was it just an absentminded thought? Was it nerves? Whatever it was, it was making me feel embarrassed for some reason, though no one said anything or even look bothered. Yes, I was an over-thinker, but I had done that in front of Bucky. 
No one could deny the alarmingly good looks of the former Winter Soldier. He was the typical strong silent type, mysterious and brooding at first until you got to know him. At first he had observed me, wondering what I would be like as a part of this team, as did the others. But once I was welcomed, his true colours showed. He was a sweetheart, he would always help me with whatever I needed, reassure me that I was meant to be here. He even tried gardening once but complained when the soil got into the metal of his arm. But I knew a relationship would never happen. We were Avengers, and although Scott and Clint had families, I didn’t see Bucky wanting that, understandable when you look back to what he had been through. It was another secret for me to keep from the world. 
The next morning, I joined Wanda and Nat in training, still thinking about the butterfly incident. It was distracting, and I didn’t know why I couldn’t just push it to the back of my mind. My own thoughts were pissing me off. Sighing to myself, I started warming up beside the others. I was too nervous at times, I needed more confidence in myself, I needed-
“Morning Bucky.” Wanda greeted him.
Fuck.
Great, just great. Just the distraction I needed. He was lovely enough just standing there, but working out? God that was another story. I smiled at him, making my way to the treadmill. Concentrate. Keep your mind focused. Don’t think about him, don’t wonder if he’s looking at you, if he’s lifting those extremely heavy weights....I hated myself sometimes.
“(Y/N)!” Nat startled me, suddenly beside me. I managed to keep my balance, still running.“Do you mind?”
“What?”
“The butterflies again!”
I looked around me, eyes widening and gasping as I saw the amount of butterflies around me. As I realised that there were definitely almost twenty of them, I lost my footing, falling onto my arm as the treadmill threw me off it. Screaming as I thudded onto the floor, I felt hot tears already falling down my cheeks, curling up into a ball when pain surged through me. Everyone fussed around me, giving me space once the shock passed.
“(Y/N), are you OK?” Nat asked, looking at my arm.
I winced.“It’s just my arm.”
“Your foot doesn’t look too good either.” Wanda pointed out.
“It’s fine.” I moved it, crying out when I realised she was right.
“I’ll take you to the hospital ward, there’s no way you’ll be able to get there by yourself.” Bucky said, already manoeuvring me into his arms.
“I’ll message Dr Cho, get her ready for you.” Nat got her phone out, texting away as Bucky stood up, holding me carefully. 
I tried to not cry, not wanting to look any worse in front of Bucky, but it was extremely hard when I couldn’t feel my arm and my foot was throbbing. I had one arm wrapped around his neck, the bad on tucked into my torso, trying not to lean into him. I was stiff in his arms, desperately thinking about anything other than Bucky, especially now and how he was so easily holding me; what a man.
“Oh, they’re back.” He smiled, nodding his head to the two butterflies appearing, they rested on my hair, and I huffed. God, would this nightmare ever end?
“I’m so sorry. This must be so annoying for everyone.” 
“I mean, it’s kind of pretty. At least it’s not flies or wasps, or any other annoying bugs.”
“I mean, I guess so.”
“How come they’re appearing so often? It’s never happened before.”
“Uh, I’m not actually sure. Maybe I’m not as in control of my powers, though I don’t know how that would happen.”
“Maybe you’re overworking.”
“Maybe.”
Dr Cho was waiting for me, gesturing towards the bed Bucky could place me on. When he asked if he should stay, I insisted that he leave. He didn’t need to see me like this anymore, and we didn’t need anymore butterflies in this place. Bucky reluctantly left, a kind smile on his face as he walked away. I let out a sigh of relief, happy that Dr Cho wanted to assess my injuries straight away. When she informed me that I had a minor sprain to the foot and a bad bruising on my arm, I groaned, pissed off at my own clumsiness. She advised that I use a wheelchair to get around (seeing as I couldn’t use crutches yet because of my arm), but when she asked if Bucky should come back, I immediately refused. She was surprised by my snappy tone, though brushed it off as I text Natasha to come get me. I seriously needed my girlfriends right now.
Nat wheeled me to my room, only speaking of my injuries until we got inside. With her help, we hauled myself onto the bed, propping my foot on top of pillows. She sat beside me, both of us resting against the headboard; my head lulled to the side, finding Nat already looking up at me.
“Nat, what do I do?” I moaned.
“What do you mean?”
“The butterflies, they keep appearing.”
“And we all know why.”
“Is it that obvious?”
“To everyone but him.”
“What if he’s playing dumb because he thinks I’m weird?”
“How can you be weird here? You’ve got super soldiers, secret spies, a girl with telekinetic powers, a man who shrinks, a hulk-”
I laughed.“OK, I get it. Still, I just don’t think he would be interest in a relationship.”
“Why?” she whined.
“Superheroes don’t date, especially not each other. Plus, have you seen him? No one would ever put us together.”
“Except everyone living in this facility right now.”
I hid my face in my hands.“Nat, stop getting my hopes up!”
“What, it’s cute! There are butterflies erupting from you every time you see him, it’s the sweetest thing in the world!”
“It’s mortifying.”
“Stop it! You put yourself down too much.”
“I’m being realistic.”
Before we could continue our endless cycle of arguing, someone knocked on the door. I called them in, nerves kicking in again as Bucky poked his head around the door. I glanced at Nat who had a smug smile on her face, instantly wriggling off the bed. I couldn’t say anything, not in front of Bucky.
“What good timing Bucky! I was about to get some more painkillers, you can keep (Y/N) company!” Natasha practically skipped out of the room, and I knew she was wearing a smirk.
Bucky shoved his hands in his pockets as he walked over, looking down at my foot.“I heard it’s sprained.”
“Yeah, it’s not too serious though. About four or five weeks resting.”
“Well I know where you’ll be spending all of that time.” He perched on the bed next to me.
“Where?”
“In your greenhouse of course. You’re in there for all of your free time anyway.”
I giggled.“I just miss my career, that’s all.”
“You always had a connection with plants, even before your powers. It’s obvious.”
I looked down at my hands, my head hurting from stopping the butterflies showing.“Thank you for earlier. It was sweet of you to take me to Dr Cho.”
“Just call me your knight in shining armour.”
I hesitated, wondering if I should just bring up the elephant in the room.“Bucky...you, uh....you must have noticed all the butterflies suddenly appearing.”
He slowly nodded.“Yeah?”
Oh my god, I’m an actual idiot. Can I even form a sentence anymore?
“Well, they only seem to be here when I’m near you and....well, uh....I think it’s for a reason.”
He stayed silent, only making me more nervous.
“I-I know the reason. I have feelings for you, and I think because I’ve been hiding them, it’s thrown off my control on my powers; and instead of admitting these feelings before, my powers have taken over to express myself.”
He didn’t say anything for a few seconds, and I seriously could have burst out crying there and then.“(Y/N), I....”
He doesn’t feel the same. That’s it, I’ve ruined everything.
“I won’t lie and say that I’ve never thought about it.” He ducked his head down, but I could see a small smile.“But why me?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, with everything that’s ever happened, I just.....(Y/N), you’re delicate and I’m...I’m not.”
“I don’t understand.”
“I’m not saying I don’t like you. It’s the total opposite. But, I’d be scared to hurt you.”
“Hurt me? How would you hurt me?”
“I don’t know. I don’t really want to think too far into it.”
“I’m sorry Bucky, if you don’t want this then-”
“That’s the thing, I do. I’m conflicted with myself. I guess....after everything that’s happened to me, it seems bizarre that anyone would want to be with me in that way.”
“How could you say that? All of your past, it wasn’t you, it was HYDRA. You’ve turned your life around so much since then.”
“I always thought that I would just focus on my work and then whatever happened, happened, My love life was just forgotten. Until you showed up that is.”
“Me?”
“Yeah, something happened when I laid eyes on you. You were beautiful, extremely smart and you wanted to do the best you could in any situation, despite it all being scary and new. I really respected you, I still do. I think if it were possible, there would be butterflies coming from me too.”
I sheepishly smiled, blushing profusely.“So, what are you saying?”
“(Y/N), are you sure you would want me?”
“I’m certain, I wouldn’t have even started a conversation like this if I wasn’t.”
“I..I’m not even sure what to say.”
“Say yes. Let’s make a go of this. I’m not a confident person, so right now I’m really shocked I’m even saying this all right now.”
He gleamed that gorgeous smile.“Then yes.”
As we smiled at each other, I felt something tickle my hand. Opening it up, we both looked down, a beautiful light red butterfly opening it’s wings. This had to be a sign, or at least something to add to the mood.
“I think this might stop the butterflies for now.”
“I hope so, but what if it has the opposite effect? What if more come?”
“Then we’ll be living in that greenhouse of yours.”

being the elder henderson sibling [headcanon]
Tumblr media
Requested?: Yee my dudes. Anon: “I absolutely loved your Wheeler and Byers middle child imagine! can you make one for Dustin’s older sister? Love your blog btw “ (idk who you are but i’m glad you enjoy my blog <3)
Pairing: Dustin Henderson x reader (platonic, family), Steve Harrington x reader (romantic oops) 
((btw guys if you’re getting annoyed at all of these turning out as romantic Steve things, pls let me know))
((once again, season 2 below the cut))
you were Claudia Henderson’s pride and joy
well you were, until Dustin was born
but you couldn’t complain
Dusty was your pride and joy as well
you were always so supportive of him 
((especially whenever him and the rest of the party won the annual science fair))
you would always help Mr. Clarke with the AV club
the fact that you were always around meant that you were always the one constant in the Party’s lives.
they loved you
((you were the og group mom))
no matter how cool you were to The Party, you were unapproachable at school
you thought it was because you were a certified Loser™
in reality, it was because you intimidated everybody
you were so pretty and kind and smart that people saw you as unapproachable.
well, everybody except your closest friend
((aka Jonathan Byers))
you always had your nose stuck in a new book, oblivious to the awestruck glances aimed at you.
Jonathan would always snort at the glances you’d get from half of the basketball team ((yes, including Steve Harrington [pre-Nancy]))
when Will went missing, you swear you felt your heart break
but you didn’t cry because Dustin was distraught and he needed someone to comfort him.
in fact, you comforted all of The Party, Jonathan, and Joyce.
you caught Dustin sneaking out of the house to go look for Will one night
instead of ratting him out to your mom, you went along because “there’s no way I’m leaving a dumbass like you all alone in the woods.”
The Party was relieved to have you tagging along
you made them feel safe.
you’re skeptical about Eleven at first, and take Lucas’s side for a while.
soon, you begin to see that the young girl can actually be a highly useful asset.
the next day, you find yourself being extremely surprised.
when you hear that Barb is missing, you’re pretty rattled.
first Will, now Barb.
what was happening?
after school, you find your way to the parking lot
you see Steve and his little crowd mocking Jonathan 
you approach them right as they break him camera.
pissed off, you begin shouting obscenities at them, shocking everyone.
sweet, beautiful, caring (Y/N) Henderson knew how to curse?
when Carol starts making remarks about Jonathan, you lunge at her.
Tommy intervenes and before you know it, his fist has met your face.
everyone stops.
they all stare at you 
you simply crack your neck and deliver an equally devastating blow to Tommy’s face.
((at this point, Steve is feeling guilty because he just knows he’s fallen in love with you but Nancy is still in the picture))
but damn can you take a punch 
Tommy is on the ground, in pain, and you simply grab Jonathan’s hand and threaten the little group.
your foot hovers over Tommy’s crotch before you speak.
“if you ever pull a little stunt like that again, you can say goodbye to any future children you were planning on having,Tommy. you too, Harrington.”
Steve simply stares at you and Jonathan groans because he knows what that look means.
he’s seen it too many times on his brother’s face and on the faces of half the school’s basketball team.
Steve. Is. Absolutely. Smitten.
eventually you find out about Will’s body being found.
you reluctantly head home to be with Dustin...
...who sends you right back to the Byers residence, insisting that Jonathan needs you more than he does.
although hesitant, you listen to your little brother and spend the night with Jon.
you help calm Joyce down when they have to go identify the body.
you eventually tag along with Nancy and Jonathan when they go looking for the monster.
you notice Nancy is missing and follow her into the Upside Down.
when the monster chases you, you make sure she goes back through the tree first. 
you barely make it through, the Demogorgon clamping onto your leg and leaving you injured.
you refuse to go to the hospital, and Nancy proceeds to patch you up. 
when you go to the store to buy your weapons, you’re the one who sees the movie matinee first.
you try to keep Nancy away from it, but she sees it anyways.
when she runs off, you grab Jonathan’s hand and tug him along.
“oh look, Nancy the slut and the creepy couple”
“shut up Carol. just because Tommy is the only one who wants to fuck you doesn’t mean you have to be bitter all the time.”
Tommy takes a step towards you but stops once you arch an eyebrow. 
Steve looks at your hand in Jonathan’s and starts talking shit.
“really Nance? you had to go after Byers? I bet you, him, and Henderson there had a lot of fun together eh?”
you’re the first one who swings and although Tommy is urging Steve to fight back, he knows that he can’t hit you.
so he hits Jonathan instead.
you wind up at the police station
where you eventually spill the whole story to Hopper and Joyce, showing them your wound as proof. 
when you contact The Party, you’re the one who has to speak to them 
you’re the only one that they truly trust.
you don’t want to leave them but Nancy insists that she and Jonathan need your help.
Jonathan is your best friend and although you don’t know Nancy that well, she is a sweet girl.
so you agree and go with them. 
when Steve arrives, you’re the one who opens the door and tries to keep him out. 
eventually, the Demogorgan arrives and you have to keep it away from Steve, who is unarmed.
when he helps you fight back, you realize that maybe (just maybe) he isn’t a self-centered, big-haired douchebag.
fast-forward to the end of the fight 
everyone is safe, except El.
although you’re sad that she’s gone, you know it’s nothing compared to what Mike is feeling. 
when Will awakens, you’re right by his side
along with the rest of The Party.
and when Jonathan sees the way Will looks at you, with that dazed, dreamy look,
he knows that things might turn out okay.
you hug Dustin tightly and tell him how much you love him
Dustin whispers the same things back to you before pushing you off and rubbing his neck in embarrassment
the rest of the evening is spent in comfort as you all realize that you still have each other.
things slowly go back to how they were
you’re still the mom of the group
you and Jonathan are still as close as ever, especially with Nancy becoming closer to you as well.
unbeknownst to you, Nancy and Steve are having problems because Nancy is too focused on Jon and Steve is too focused on you.
you inevitably meet new kid Billy Hargrove and his charming kid stepsister Max ((who you take an instant liking to))
you met them in the parking lot on Halloween, where Billy asked you to go to Tina’s party with him and you “agreed”
((you said “sure, I’ll see you there” but the wink you gave Max showed that you had no intention of ever showing up))
you choose to supervise The Party instead, and even dress up as a Ghostbuster with them.
((they are beyond excited about that))
when Max surprises them and sees you, she immediately starts laughing
she explains to The Party that you just stood her dick of a stepbrother up on Halloween.
((Dustin is super proud of you bc he’s heard so much shit about Billy))
anyways,
you don’t know it, but Mike and the rest of The Party are keeping Will’s visions a secret from you because they don’t want you to worry.
you know something is going on but you think it’s just normal teenage boy stuff
so what if they’re keeping secrets. they can’t tell you everything, ya feel?
after trick or treating, you and Dustin walk home
and find a lil thingy in the trash can.
you and Dustin are both intrigued by this...thing.
so you keep it
and name it Dart. 
and then it all goes to shit
I mean, first it escapes at the emergency AV Club meeting
next thing you know, Will is infected by that shadow monster.
you’re pissed off at the kids for not telling you what was happening with Will
like you yell at them
y e l l
they had never seen you so upset and The Party felt so guilty that they had caused this.
you give The Party the silent treatment until Dustin runs up to you in a panic, telling you about how Mews is dead.
you sigh and roll your eyes because “dammit Dustin I really can’t leave you alone because you always mess things up.”
Dustin grins because he can see you fighting a smile and he knows that you’re not upset with him anymore. 
“alright (Y/N), we’re gonna go over to Mike’s house because none of those sons of bitches are answering and we really need their help.”
you reluctantly hop onto Dustin’s bike and make your way over to Mike’s house
you run into Steve there, a bundle of roses in his hands.
“(Y/N)? what are you doing here?”
“i’m looking for Mike. or Nancy. but they’re not here so we’re leaving.”
you’re tone is pretty rude and Steve is pretty shocked.
you grab Dustin’s hand and begin to walk off but he stops you.
“wait. he fought the Demogorgon with you last year didn’t he?”
you sigh and nod your head.
“then he can help us.”
Steve agrees to help because he wants to win you over
you find yourself going down into the cellar first, holding a crowbar and getting ready to defend yourself against Dart.
Steve almost has a heart attack and races after you.
you propose the idea to lure Dart to the junkyard with raw meat.
when walking towards the junkyard, you trail slightly behind the two boys, snorting whenever Steve gives Dusty advice.
“what? you got better advice Henderson?”
“yeah. Dusty, do exactly the opposite of what he says. his advice is bullshit. i’m not sure how he ever got Nancy to agree to go out with him.”
Steve frowns at your words before speaking. “Nance and I aren’t together anymore”
you look at him, eyes wide in apology.
Steve stares right as you before continuing,
“turns out, we were way too focused on other people.”
you look down awkwardly, an unwelcomed blush painting your cheeks
Dustin simply grins widely as he looks between the two of you, causing Steve to scoff and ruffle his hair.
at the junkyard, you and Max do most of the work
Dustin and Lucas are too busy chatting and Steve is too busy admiring you.
while waiting for the demodogs, you find yourself sitting next to Steve, head thrown back against the wall of the bus and humming a song under your breath.
you only stop when you hear Steve chuckle breathlessly
“are you humming AC/DC, Henderson?”
you blush and nod your head 
“never took you as that kind of girl.”
“what kind of girl did you take me for Harrington?”
Steve stares at you for a moment before looking away, distracted by Lucas shouting.
“they’re here!”
when Steve goes outside, you feel kind of guilty
you know you should be helping him but you want to keep the kids safe.
you fight off the demodogs that try to attack the inside of the bus.
after making sure no one is hurt too badly, you lead everyone to Hawkins Lab, following the mini demogorgons.
back at the Byers house, Joyce has you stay with her, Hopper, and Mike when talking to Will.
she knows that he’ll feel safer with you there as well.
since you’re the designated babysitter, you stay with the kids 
they quickly become restless and so do you
when Mike begins to talk about his plan, you can’t help but agree with him
after Steve disagrees, they all turn to you.
“hey you dipshits, why aren’t you listening to me?”
“(Y/N) is the leader. she’s our babysitter, not you Harrington. we listen to her.”
you smirk at Steve.
“that’s right. i’m in charge. and I say we go.”
the kids all cheer and start to gather up whatever they need.
Steve narrows his eyes and glares at you.
“it’s on Henderson. I’m gonna be the best damn babysitter these kids have ever had.”
“dream on Harrington.”
you and Steve are now in competition to see who is the Best Mom™
Steve is super upset bc you’re making him flustered just by looking at him.
Dustin walks back into the room during your intense stare off
“goddammit guys. we can feel the sexual tension all the way from the back of the house!”
when Billy arrives, you step in front of Max and Lucas
Billy ends up cornering you and wrapping his arms around your waist.
“y’know princess, what you did to me at Halloween wasn’t very nice.”
Steve is by the door, ready to attack the mullet-headed dick
you totally save yourself though, pulling his mullet and kicking him until he lets you go.
when Billy tries to lunge at you, Steve steps in
“don’t you dare lay a hand on my girlfriend Hargrove.”
you pretend not to hear the kids cheering at his words. 
even though Steve gets his ass kicked, you’re still grateful.
in the tunnels, you make sure that Dustin is by your side the whole time.
except when Mike is caught
that’s when you separate yourself and help Mike get free
you and Steve make sure that the kids get up first
when you see the demodogs running at you, you yelp
Steve follows your gaze and grabs your hands.
“listen Henderson. if we’re about to die, there’s something I've always wanted to do.”
you glance at the demodogs hesitantly, before turning back to Steve.
“you might wanna hurry up then Harrington.”
Steve immediately presses his lips to yours.
and you’re kissing
as all the demodogs run around you. 
you pull away awkwardly
but you can’t deny that it was the best kiss you’ve ever had
((not that you’d ever admit it))
once you exit the tunnel, you’re met with the smug faces of The Party.
“well, i’m glad you got that out of the way.”
“shut up Dusty.”
you avoid Steve afterwards, too stubborn to admit that maybe you have a crush on him.
Nancy and Jonathan try to get you to talk to him
“c’mon (Y/N). he really likes you!”
“you guys were together???”
“well yeah, but he always liked you and I always liked Jonathan.”
you notice him spending more time with Dustin and it warms your heart.
Dustin definitely brings him up in random conversations you two have.
“hey (Y/N), this pasta is great. you know who else likes pasta? STEVE!”
“hey have you seen my walkie-talkie? by the way, STEVE IS DOING PRETTY WELL TODAY!”
eventually, Dustin asks you to help him get ready for the Snow Ball.
((you definitely laughed when he told you that Steve told him to use the Farrah Fawcett Hairspray)).
he also begs you to go drop him off with Steve.
when Steve first sees you, it’s awkward as hell.
but you just brush past him and into the car
when he gives Dustin advice, you roll your eyes and lean forwards.
“don’t listen to him Dusty.”
you kiss his cheek and he smiles before getting out of the car.
“alright, have fun you two. but not too much fun.”
“Dusty what are you-”
Dustin points to the roof of the car smugly
hanging from the car’s roof is a sprig of mistletoe
((where did this dipshit get mistletoe??))
you and Dustin have a mini stare-off before you groan and turn around, taking Steve by surprise and kissing him harshly.
“wow”
“you got that right Harrington,” you grumble.
“does this mean you like me Henderson?”
“don’t push it dumbass.”
Steve chuckles before turning serious.
“I really do like you Henderson.”
a pause. then...
“i know.”
“did you just Han Solo me?”
“yes but i like you too so shh.”
Steve Harrington might have been a douchebag but he cleaned up his act.
The Party was super happy that you were together now
especially Dustin.
((you were still the favorite babysitter though))
(((shh don’t tell Steve)))
