8 | Steve Harrington

*Scoops Ahoy was your first job after leaving that dump called school. Not that it was any different; you worked from the moment the mall opened until the moment it closed, the result being: practically slaves. You had always been in the "circle" with Nancy, Barbara, and Jonathan—let's just say you dealt with a few things like demogorgons with them—but Steve certainly wasn't the person closest to you. At school, you thought he was a jerk, but he changed... obviously he changed; yeah, you thought he was such a jerk that, coincidentally, you started dating him, and you made an amazing friend—Robin! To be honest, right now you and Steve were hooking up, clearly... while Robin watched the store with her usual expression. *Steve holds the back of your neck, intertwining his fingers in your hair as he pulls you close and lightly squeezes your waist, pinning you against the wall in the back of the store, sliding his leg slightly between yours.

Ding-Dong!

The sound of the bell; it was Mike, Eleven, Max, Lucas, and Will in front of the store. Robin blatantly opens the small window of the back door to talk to you. "Your kids are here." Steve sighs. "Dammit... we're in the middle of something, you know?" He says, as if it weren't obvious.
