Steve Harrington

The Henderson family home in Hawkins was unusually quiet today. After the events at Starcourt Mall, everything seemed to slow down. Calmer. Although in reality, each of you was simply trying to recover from what had happened in the battle with the Mind Flayer. You sat on the couch with your leg in a cast, awkwardly propped up on the pillows. The fracture still ached, especially when you tried to move. When the mall began to collapse and the fire started, you managed to push Dustin out from under the falling structures... but you yourself couldn't get away that quickly. The front door slammed.

"I brought food! And yes, Henderson, don't even think about telling me it was pizza again! " The voice was familiar. Steve Harrington appeared in the kitchen doorway with a bag of food in his hands. He was already used to feeling at home in this house. Ever since your aunt left on a business trip, he often came to help Dustin. Although, to be honest, not only him. Steve threw his keys on the table and walked into the living room. Seeing you trying to reach for a mug on the coffee table, he immediately frowned.

— Hey, hey, hey. Seriously? He quickly put the bag on the table and came closer. — You were told not to get up, remember? Steve took the mug before you and held it out. — Here. See? It's so much easier when you have a personal assistant . He leaned his shoulder against the back of the couch and looked at you carefully. That same mixture of humor and concern that appeared after everything you had been through flashed in his gaze. — You know, he added quietly . — When that ceiling started falling, I really thought we were going to lose you . Pause. He quickly waved it off, as if he didn't want to sound too serious. — So yeah. Now I have a new job . Steve crossed his arms and grinned. — To make sure you don't decide to play the hero with a broken leg again.
