Montana Sky - Chapter Ten

When Steve left Montana he promised himself he wouldn't return unless someone died-- happy to leave that world behind him. He thought he'd have several decades before he was dragged back to the ranch he used to call home. But Sara died. His big sister-- bringing him back to the family.

His family was far from traditional. It wasn't any wonder that it took one of them dying in a freak accident to get them all in the same place again. If that wasn't distressing enough, it became clear Steve's father would need more help with Sara being gone, forcing him to stick around longer.

On top of it all, his childhood sweetheart's presence on the ranch was impossible to ignore. Steve knew if he wasn't careful, it'd be all too easy to fall into his arms and never leave. The only issue was, if Jonathan learned his secret, there was no way he'd want a thing to do with Steve.

Many thanks to both @lady-lostmind and @melsmalone for their help through this!

Steve had to find alternatives to getting fucked by the ranchers pretty quickly.  Only one of them, Billy, agreed to fuck him.  The rest had fucking unionized against him in an act of solidarity.  How they knew what happened was a mystery.  He knew Jonathan wouldn’t have said anything.  Maybe Eddie had told Wayne or something.  Regardless, he had to leave the property if he wanted a knot.  Fortunately, there were other things to keep him busy.

Patrick McKinney turned out to be a bigger distraction than anonymous sex could ever be.

Finding His Lens - Chapter 12

After breaking up with his long-time partner, Steve Harrington moves in with his best friend, Robin. While he's thrilled to be there, he needs to get back on his feet. Robin has been working at a catalog-- modeling to put herself through college. She gets him a job, hoping he can do this until he gets his ducks in a row. While initially hesitant, Steve is surprised to find that he's good at this-- like really good at it. There's just one catch... he can't fucking stand the photographer. The guy is a total asshole. He's standoffish and rude, and definitely doesn't like Steve much either. Too bad Robin seems to like him and keeps inviting him out with them.

*Back from hiatus!!! Very excited to share all my upcoming Stonathan projects with you all!

“I’m sorry, baby,” Tommy said, his lips buzzing against Steve’s neck. “Let me make it up to you.”

Steve shook his head, softly putting a hand on Tommy’s chest to prevent another kiss. “I just don’t get it. I told you that I want you and Robin to get along. Instead, you made the whole thing about Jon, and he didn’t even do anything.”

Tommy raised an eyebrow. “He’s ‘ Jon’ now?”

Steve threw his head back in frustration. “Ugh! This is exactly what I’m talking about. ‘Jon,’ ‘Jonathan,’ ‘Byers,’ it doesn’t matter. I don’t want him and he doesn’t want me. Besides, he was just keeping to himself and taking pictures of the animals. He barely even said two words to us. Robin just didn’t want to be a third wheel. That’s the only reason he was there.”

Rules: You will be given a word. Share a snippet from a WIP for every letter in that word, then tag some friends and give them a new word.

My word was: Monster

Snippets from Finding His Lens:

“Mind if I sit here?”  Steve looked over his shoulder.  A guy around his age was standing over him.  He had dark hair, a freckled face.  He was cute.  “Yeah, sure,” he said, moving over on the bench so the other guy could sit down. “Thanks,” he said.  “I haven’t seen you around before.” “I don’t go here.  I’m visiting a friend,” Steve said honestly.

Once he was finished with those photos, he moved on to the Steve ones.  He developed a few and… fuck.  They came out good.  He was definitely photogenic.  There was no way Nancy was going to move away from this guy anytime soon.   Photogenic.  Fair listener.  There wasn’t much more that Nancy valued when it came to the models.  She wasn’t looking to discover the next supermodel.  It was a catalog, it was all about the product.  As far as she was concerned the models were facilitators of that.   

Nancy was on the phone, but her eyes lit up when she saw him.  She motioned for him to come inside, still talking to whoever was on the other end.  “I hear your concerns, and we’ll address them at the next board meeting.  I have to let you go, my photographer’s here and we need to discuss the upcoming catalog.”  There was a pause, whoever was on the line must have been talking. “I know– all right.  Bye,” Nancy said, hanging up the phone.  She gave him a look as she sighed, leaning back in her chair.

Steve shook his head, softly putting a hand on Tommy’s chest to prevent another kiss. “I just don’t get it. I told you that I want you and Robin to get along. Instead, you made the whole thing about Jon, and he didn’t even do anything.” Tommy raised an eyebrow. “He’s ‘Jon’ now?” Steve threw his head back in frustration. “Ugh! This is exactly what I’m talking about. ‘Jon,’ ‘Jonathan,’ ‘Byers,’ it doesn’t matter. I don’t want him and he doesn’t want me. Besides, he was just keeping to himself and taking pictures of the animals. He barely even said two words to us. Robin just didn’t want to be a third wheel. That’s the only reason he was there.”

Tommy wasn’t like that. Everything about him was loud. His smile, which was Steve’s favorite thing about him, was so wide it could blind airplane pilots. His freckles were so prominent Steve was far from the only one trying to picture constellations. His laugh was so infectious that others couldn’t help but laugh along. How could anyone worry that Steve would covet the quiet when he was falling for the noise? “I’m tired of fighting about Jonathan,” Steve said firmly. “We work together. He’s… tolerable. We run in the same circle. I need you to trust me. Otherwise… we’re gonna keep having the same stupid fight. I only want you, Tommy. Everyone else can look… you’re the only one who gets to touch.”

Eventually, he just had to pretend to fall asleep.  It didn’t help the motion sickness, but it was worth it if he could have just a bit of quiet.  He was sure home would be noisy.  Mom was her own chaos.  Will was quiet enough, but if he had Mike over there would inevitably be commotion as they talked about their comic books and video games.  New York was loud.  Jonathan didn’t mind it terribly, it wasn’t usually directed at him, but mixed with Argyle, he never had any peace and quiet.  If he could have just a few moments of silence, it’d be a gift. “Oh, I should really order that,” he heard someone mutter from a few seats behind him.  He had to fight the urge to peek over and see if she was looking at their catalog.  It was dumb that he cared so much.  It wasn’t even the type of photography he really wanted to pursue, but he was proud of it.  It might not have been changing the world, but he was making a living doing what he loved.  That wasn’t something many people got to say.

Robin didn’t look convinced, a troubled expression on her face. Steve understood to an extent. He had a history of diving head first into relationships. Beyond all of that, Tommy was rough around the edges. There wasn’t any denying that. He wasn’t agreeable or overly friendly. He took up the air in every room he walked into. Steve liked those qualities. Tommy was real. But he understood how it could rub her the wrong way.  “I love you,” she said, her brow still creased. “Just promise me you’ll be careful.”

📷 word: sail

📷 - Finding His Lens

Nope

She’d told him that she couldn’t come out with him because she was working a job with Byers.  So why the hell did Argyle just tell him he was out of town?  Ordinarily, Argyle was a murky source, but Eden confirmed– noting they were taking advantage of having the apartment to themselves.  What the fuck?

Yes!

“We can rank each one and make it a whole Robin and Steve adventure.”

New

Was it because of Tommy?  He knew she didn’t like him, but lying.  He and Robin didn’t lie to each other.

[nomadic-wolf]

🚬 word: fantastic

No :)

Argyle wet his lips as he hovered over him.  He put his hair up in a ponytail and bent down, gingerly kissing him.  He hummed as Jonathan squeezed his eyes shut.  It was always jarring, to see the value of himself through Argyle’s eyes.  No one ever made him feel this special– or special at all, before him.

Ask Box | WIP Game

[nomadic-wolf]

🚬 word: juvenile

Nope!

He always treated Jonathan so gently.  Well, that wasn’t fair.  He treated everything gently.  Even the way he’d roll a joint was done with precision and care.  It was no wonder that he laid Jonathan down artfully on the mattress.

Nope! Thanks for playing!

Argyle led him into his bedroom.  Jonathan had been here plenty of times.  This felt different.  They’d never done anything beyond smoke in that room.  He had a feeling that Argyle was after something else, if the deep, slow kiss he gave him was any indication.

💥 word: haze

Nope!

He rubbed his face, contemplating.  He couldn’t bring himself to delete it.  Instead, he put the phone down on the bed, eyeing it carefully.  He stared at it, trying to resist the magnetic pull of Steve’s message.

 It wasn’t a good idea.  There were about a dozen reasons for him to ignore this message.  Probably more.  But he was intrigued.

[9:32] Hey, REDACTED.  It’s Steve from… well you know from what.  I just wanted to say thanks.

Jonathan paused.  He should have ignored this.

Yes

 Aside from the fact that it could be expensive, he’d never really seen Jonathan drink.

Patrick’s wasn’t like that.  It was flashy– more traditional.  He seemed to love it.

🤠 for the wip weekend (cxwzkeys)

Thanks for playing! 🤠 - Montana Sky

It was pretty.  He had to admit that it suited her.  Robin had selected it with care.  It represented their bond perfectly.  Delicate, carefully chosen, and modest– just like Robin and Vickie.

🤠 shiver

Yes! Montana Sky

 He shivered slightly, looking up at Jonathan expectantly.

New:

Vickie had one.  It was so subtle you could miss it if you weren’t looking.  A lace choker, with a flower layered above the bite mark.

Thanks for playing!
