open to: anyone (f/m/nb) plot: based on this idea. obviously meant to be romantic. set in his actor au

steve lets out an awkward little laugh as he nearly runs into the other, trying to ignore the pounding in his chest. the tension in the air. "uh, hey." he greets with a little wave, a slightly forced smile. looking at them, all he can think about is that kiss. and all he wants to do is take them somewhere and do it over and over again. but he can't. not when they're happily and publicly taken. "how was your night?"

[theha1r]

"i did." steve confirmed quietly, gently, soft smile still in place on his face. he watched, waited as she processed it all, he knew it was kind of a lot to take in. and, if he was honest, he was a little nervous it might be too much. even if she missed wisconsin, even if she wanted a cow, this was a whole farm. it was kind of insane. but then she was throwing her arms his neck and kissing him and it was enough for him to feel like maybe this was indeed the right choice. "i just ... i wanted to give you not only something special and important, but something that you deserve. and i know it's kind of a lot, but honestly ..." he reached down to take a hand of hers in his and give it a light squeeze. "you deserve the world, and i can't quite give that to you yet, so i hope it's okay if i settle for this. for now."

"hey sunshine." steve started with a soft smile on his face. "so i know your birthday isn't for two more days, but i thought it might be best to give you this a little early. especially considering your actual birthday will probably be pretty busy and i know you're going to wanna go see this in person as soon as i show you what it is ..." he pulled out a paper and set in front of her, a deed to a property, to a farm in her name. he also pulled out a picture of the farm, setting it next to the deed. "that's ... yours. it's just outside city limits, but it's yours. the people i bought it from live just off the property so they're going to stay there and still do the care and up-keep for the farm and animals and everything, especially when you're busy and not able to. but everything legally is yours, all the animals. the land. you're free to come and go as you please, and they'll talk to you before any big decisions get made or anything. and and and there was a baby calf, just born a week ago, still waiting for a name that they've waited to name just for you. but yeah, i ... i know this is kind of a lot. but ... i really wanted to give you something special, and a piece of the home i know you miss so much."

“you….you  got  me  a  farm?”  sonny  blinked  a  few  times.  trying  to  wrap  her  head  around  the  reality  that  she  now  had  a  farm  and  got  to  name  a  baby  cow.  being  in  los  angeles,  it  was  hard.  she  missed  her  farm  back  in  wisconsin  so  now  having  one  here?  even  with  her  busy  schedule?  it  almost  brought  tears  in  her  eyes.  “steve…”  unable  to  find  the  words,  she  threw  her  arms  around  his  neck  and  pulled  him  into  a  passionate  kiss.  lingering  for  a  moment  and  pulling  away  with  a  big  grin  on  her  face,  “this  is  the  craziest  yet  most  thoughtful  gift  i  have  ever  received.”

Steve knows, he knows, Robin will wring his neck for approaching a - to put it bluntly - non-famous person. Knows she'd lecture him for hours about the dangers, especially here, out in the open, with no one else around. But Steve can't help himself, it seems like this girl is in some kind of trouble, or at the very least something is wrong. Maybe she's just having a bad day, but Steve can't bring himself to just turn away. He approaches with a soft smile. "Hey, uh, are you okay?" Is asked gently, head tilting to the side a little. "I mean, maybe I'm reading this wrong but it just ... it just seems like something is wrong and if you need help or something, I can do my best to ... My name's Steve."

[theha1r]

"oh ugh. i hate that." steve responds, making a face. it's already been a long night of shooting and he can imagine that doesn't help matters much. he felt exhausted enough himself - sans fake blood in his hair. "though ... i definitely think it's better than real blood. at least it doesn't stain as much or as bad. i recommend dawn dish soap, it tends to help. but make sure you wash it with your own regular shit like, immediately afterwards. or it will dry your hair out and have it feeling all gross."

❝    there    is    fake    blood    crusted    in    my    hair.    ❞    mila    whines,    a    pout    forming    on    the    scream    queen's    lips.    she    was    exhausted    from    filming    a    chase    scene    late    into    the    night    that    ended    with    her    character    on    the    brink    of    death.    ❝    i    think    this    is    almost    worse    than    dealing    with    real    blood.    ❞

steve didn't want to be here, he really really didn't want to be here. having to attend his parents' movie premieres was always the worst, having to play the part of perfect son, smile for the cameras and pretend like this wasn't the first time he'd seen his parents in literal months. it especially sucked when robin couldn't be there, like tonight, where she was home sick with the flu. letting out a sigh, he ducked out of the theater for a moment, just needing a moment to breathe, and that's when he spotted her. a girl around his age and if he remembered correctly, her mother's company was the one who had produced this film. "oh, uh, hey. you taking a breather too?"

but daddy i love him - taylor swift

"i just learned these people only raise you to cage you."

[theha1r]

random but one of my favorite fun facts/headcanons in steve’s actor au is that - whenever steve has to answer interview questions about his parents, he doesn’t actually answer them with his actual like bio parents in mind (bc we all know they suck but he can’t publicly admit that with the grip they have on him & how much they’ve drilled it into him to care about “appearances” & all), but instead with the people he ACTUALLY considers his parents in that verse - joyce & hopper <3

[theha1r]

Steve was all too used to this, being approached by fans when in public, and unlike most he didn't mind it, really. He understood how exciting it was to meet your idols and all. However, he wasn't used to being approached by someone so pretty, with big brown eyes and curly hair. He cleared his throat, giving the other a smile. "Oh, hey, thank you. It's nice to meet you, Eddie. Is that your band? I don't think I've heard of it ... what kind of music is it?"

Eddie thought he was seeing things when he walked past. He was in California there was no way he's seeing someone this famous. He knew that was kind of the point but still it felt weird. "Steve fucking Harrington- holy shit. Hey man, uh big fan. I'm Eddie Munson of Corroded Coffin."

tmz articles: steve harrington ft. avital knox (@wintersreplies) edition

[theha1r]

@wintersreplies asked: “You’re not the person I wanted to see today.” ( steve + avital )

( be my valentine! )

steve's eyebrows scrunch together in confusion, unsure what she's talking about and maybe about to be a little hurt ... when he looks down at himself and realizes. he'd been so happy to hear she was on set, he didn't even take the time to change before going out to see her. now, he shakes his head, giving a little roll of his eyes. "oh ... right. sorry, my mistake. one second, let me go get steve harrington." he puts emphasis on his name on purpose, and slowly, carefully begins to pretend to walk away.

[theha1r]

"... sugarplum, really?"

send "❓" to know what's the first word that crosses my muse's head when they think of yours!

"sugarplum."

@wintersreplies asked: 🌹 ( steve + avital )

( be my valentine! )

"what's this?" steve asks, questioning noise in his throat. he takes them anyways though, eyebrow raising slightly. "aren't i supposed to be the one who gets you flowers, miss knox?" tone is teasing now, eyes - like they always seem to be around her - sparkling. he can't help it as he moves in closer, arms going to wrap around her, almost instinctively at this point. "i mean, don't get me wrong, i appreciate them very much, but ... what are these for?"

"that was a lot of fun." steve says, looking over to anna with a soft smile as people around them begin to file out of the room. "i'm really honored you chose me, like i said my best friend and i love playing your music while we do things around the house and stuff, so yeah i just ... i really enjoyed this." smile widens ever-so-slightly before he speaks again. "is it too much for me to ask what you're doing now? because i would honestly love to maybe go somewhere and grab a coffee and be able to talk to you where ... our whole conversation isn't being written down?"

Steve knew it hadn't been the smartest idea, sneaking into a club with nothing much more to disguise himself than a pair of sunglasses and a hat ... but, he just had wanted one night. A few hours, spent with his best friend - being a normal young adult for once, and he'd thought maybe, everyone would be too drunk to notice who he was ... He'd thought wrong. The plan is now for him to sneak out the back, Robin to pull the car into the alleyway and pick him up, and hopefully - hopefully - they make it out before anyone else sees him. What he hadn't accounted for was the door to club swinging open just a little too fast and hitting ... someone. Immediately panic overtakes him and he's rushing out, crouching down in front of the girl outside, now on the ground. "Shit, shit, shit. I'm sorry, are you okay?" His voice is as panicked as he feels, giving the girl a once over, scanning her carefully for any injuries.
