#Nancy would 💯 fail

[jonathanbyersphd]

TV shows not having 26 episodes has robbed us of so many flour sack baby plotlines

DBD Favorite Food HC:

Survivors

Dwight Fairfield

Cheese Pizza.

No more no less.

Thinks pepperoni is “too spicy.”

Pizza What! Had 25% lifetime employee discount.

Meg Thomas

Doesn’t particularly care about her diet as much due to her active lifestyle.

Probably needs more calories than the average person because she’s always on the move.

A good hearty veggie burger is enough for Meg.

Claudette Morel

Ham and Cheese Sandwich.

No crust, untoasted, on white bread.

Toasted bread makes her teeth hurt.

Cut into triangles for maximum efficiency.

In the ~lore~ he is shown to have affinity for Korean Barbecue Ribs.

Really enjoys smoked meats and canned veggies

Canned Artichokes. Boom.

Nea Karlson

Energy drinks.

Probably consumed with some rock candy for extra ✨sizzle✨.

Laurie Stroade

Apple pie.

Something all American and sweet.

A nice dollop of vanilla ice cream too please!

Ace Visconti

Would probably tell you some fancy name that makes you feel broke.

More likely a home cooked meal by his Mom

Thinks that high rollers shouldn’t be associated with low class dishes of a foreign country.

I’ll go with Alfajores. Especially the ones dipped with a little chocolate.

William “Bill” Overbeck

Tv dinner with a cold beer

Preferably a Salisbury steak one 🔥🔥🔥

Over boiled canned peas with a slice of buttered bread ain’t bad either.

Feng Min

Candy and chips seems too obvious yknow?

~Lore~ also mentions her being an alcoholic but that’s not really a “favorite” is it?

Probably sponsored a limited edition soft drink that she really liked.

David King

Toad in the hole.

“Classic British “cuisine””

Surprisingly not a fan of a good chippy

Too much oil for his diet

Quentin Smith

Yknow those hard candies in strawberry wrapping old people give on Halloween?

Those

Those 💯

Especially ones with little soft center

David Tapp

Chinese food.

Crab Rangoons was always his go too.

Especially slathered in duck sauce. (Sweet and sour)

Kate Denson

Sun flower seeds.

Perfect snack for wildness jam seshs.

Would be trail mix if she didn’t only eat the chocolate.

Adam Francis

Connivence store meals

Have you see the pre-made meal game in Japan?

~Lore~ mentions that he enjoyed spending his weekends at high end restaurants too.

Big fan of Japanese food.

Pancakes. Maybe with some blueberry if he’s feeling fancy.

Nice slab of butter in between each layer.

Not that flavorful but sweet enough it’s a treat.

Steve Harrington

Root beer float.

Mid tbh.

Enjoys the idea of sharing it with someone via two straws at a sleepy diner.

Yui Kimura

Street food.

Takoyaki to be specific.

Her gang spent a lot of time muscling about in the narrow streets of Tokyo. Easy access to cheap and piping hot food.

Likes eating with her hands.

Zarina Kassir

Felt like she wasn’t as appreciative of her “foreign” lunches as she could’ve been as a kid.

Makes an effort to recreate her childhood meals but lacks the “mom touch.”

Always on the move for the next big story, this film maker enjoys celery and carrots.

Cheryl Mason

Dry Cereal.

Just something to pick at through out the day.

Not too sweet either. Something whole grain works for her.

Felix Richter

Heavily salted potato salad.

Boil some proses till tender, throw in some mayo, lemon juice, parsley, dash of sugar, salt ‘n pepper and you, my friend, have got it ON 🔥🔥🔥

The side dish you’re forced to try but end up digging.

��lodie Rakoto

Hachis Parmentier. Served with a cucumber salad.

“Classic French “cuisine.””

Hamburg with cheese.

I don’t really know a lot about him tbh.

Probably eats it with a cabbage garnish.

Haddie Kaur

Eggs.

Fried eggs served over spiced watermelon rinds are 👌.

Can’t go wrong with an eggs and cheese.

Ada Wong

I can’t really imagine her eating??

My mind says she probably collects antique wine but I can’t really picture her drinking either.

I’ll go with mussoli.

Rebecca Chambers

Macarons!

Expensive? Yes. Shareable? Also yes!

“Oh! Those look just like a smiling hamburger!”

Vittorio Toscano

Cheese and bread.

Maybe- MAYBE a little watered down wine.

Not like a charcuterie board. More Skyrim “going ham on a wheel of cheese and bread”.

Thalita Lyra

Grilled Pineapple.

Dusted with some brown sugar and grilled on an open flame is 🤤.

Likes it tender. Undercooked, firm pineapple makes her sad.

Renato Lyra

Rice. Rice never changes.

Goes well with cheesy stroganoff.

Wash it down with a fizzy drink.

You ever such a rough morning you gotta process what’s on your plate for 10 minutes?

Likes his eggs salty.

Sable Ward

DIY spooky treats!

“Mummy Dogs” are croissant wrapped hotdogs and “candied eyeballs” are tangulu grapes.

Probably had an edgy phase of “only liking black coffee.”

“How can you even enjoy the natural taste of coffee with all that sugar and milk??”

Killers:

Evan McMillian

Boiled Dinner.

Throw some cabbage, pastrami, and bacon in bag with some seasonings.

(Read: salt and pepper).

Delicious for 1800 palettes.

Phillip Ojomo

Canned beans.

Eating them straight from the can hit different after a long day of crushing cars.

Knows how to open any can with a spoon alone.

Max Thompson Jr

Biscuits and Gravy.

Was usually served the slop version as a kid.

Tries to re-create it a bit more “not bad”.

Sally Smithson

Johnny cakes.

Probably also likes food with not okay names.

Like “Injun Bread” 🫤.

Micheal Myers

Chips and Cola.

Eats more to survive than for comfort.

A lot of victims tend to be teenagers relaxing on Halloween with an assortment of junk food goodies.

Chips in bowl and a half empty cup of cola are very tasty snacks when he’s on the move.

Lisa Sherwood

I’m not sure if it’s ever explicitly said but I head-cannon her as being from New Orleans.

Craw fish is tried and true banger.

Even in her “Hag” form, she enjoys slurping them up raw.

Herman Carter

Black Coffee.

Wakes up early to enjoy some time alone with his mug.

Maybe dips a crostini in.

Anna likes her food in a very particular way, almost OCD with her eating habits.

Bear is the perfect challenge.

Bubba Sawyer

Chili.

Add a dollop of cheddar jack cheese on top for a pop of color.

Likes dipping bread into it.

No spoon required.

Freddy Krueger

Apple slices.

A nice juicy apple was refreshing on a hot summers day working in the garden.

Now, the juices sting his skin.

Amanda Young

Fast food.

If you ever worked the morning shift at a fast food place yknow the crack heads be jonesing out in the corner booth.

Post Recovery, I think greasy fast food helps settle her stomach.

Jeffery Hawk

Corn dogs if he’s mad, cotton candy if he’s sad.

Or both if you wanna meet an early grave.

Either way, eats way too much for his body to properly digest and often is constipated.

Rin Yamaoka

Natto.

Sticky fermented beans beloved by Japan.

Kinda icky but it’s a staple there.

Frank, Julie, Susie, Joey

Frank likes hot chocolate.

Julie likes loaded fries.

Susie likes sprinkles.

Joey likes red slushies.

Adris

Mutton and dates.

A holy meal for a holy woman.

Not too sure if the Babylonians had honey ( I think they did) she’d probably slather it on.

Danny Johnson

French fries.

Perfect finger food while typing up the next big story.

Tries dipping it in the blood of his victims to be “edgy.”

Decided against it as it could implement him to the crimes (credit card, receipts, DNA etc).

Demogorgan

Enjoys nibbling on plants.

More of a sensory thing than taste.

They tickle all the right places in its mouth.

Kazan Yamaoka

Pickled Veggies

Great for traveling and very nutritious .

Probably would be a meat dish but I’d imagine he was very disciplined with his diet.

Caleb Quinn

Lambs Fry.

Also likes snacking on bar peanuts.

His favorite part is the eye ball.

Pyramid Head

I don’t think he can eat.

Doesn’t he have a tongue??

Likes the metallic taste of rust.

Talbot Grimes

Haggis.

“Classic Scottish “cuisine””.

Would cry eating it as child.

Also likes hibiscus tea for the anti oxidants ☝️.

Charlotte and Victor Deshayes

Food was hard to come by growing up.

Survived off of scraps.

One time they were lucky to come across very tasty meat.

Their mom said it was “honeyed” whatever that meant.

Ji-woon Hak

Champagne.

Definitely pours it over himself to watch it stream through his abs.

Enjoys dropping a fruit in to dive after.

Nemesis T-Type

Nemesis is technically a meat suit being piloted by a parasite (that’s what his tentacle thing is.)

Kinda feeds off the body it’s piloting.

Like a fungi to a tree (which is bananas, look it up.)

Elliot Spencer

Scabs.

Especially likes the thicker variety that peel clean off.

Bonus points if it’s has that soft, goey white stuff in it.

Carmina Mora

Caldino de congrio.

Hot as fuck.

Eel hits different.

Sadako Yamamura

Rice.

Nothing special.

A plain bowl of rice lightly salted is a good meal in itself.

Maybe a peice of unseasoned fish.

Dredge

Fingernails.

Enjoys chewing on its “hands” and hearing that sweet, sweet crunch.

Sometimes chews on the fingernails of deceased survivors to see if it can taste what they’ve previously eaten.

Albert Wesker

Sultans Delight.

A creamy eggplant mixture topped with some braised lamb.

Doesn’t really take the time to enjoy it.

Give him 7 minutes tops.

Tarhos Kovács

Preserved fish.

The extremely salted filets cook up real quick for a tasty dish.

Was always a treat when he found a barrel of them in his raids.

Adrianna Imai

Guarana.

Enjoys it especially as a mixer.

Her mini fridge is always stocked with some.

HUX-A7-13

“Eating” is an organic thing.

No thanks.

Does have a favorite type of electricity.

Enjoys the smell of carbon.

Xenomorph

Human.

As an apex predators, Aliens enjoy killing everything that catches their eye.

I imagine our Alien in particular developed a taste for human flesh.

Charles Lee Ray

Swedish Meatballs.

Some meatballs are better than others.

But they like, gotta be seasoned super well. Not like a dash of Italian herbs and you call it day.

Unknown

Bone marrow.

Likes to suck them out of chicken bones.

Or human bones.

Lordy, Lordy! I don't understand why every time we get news about a new project for Tom that all the Negative Nancys come out with dissertations about why it's going to fail, he needs to do this, he needs to do that instead. He himself said he will not be put in a box no matter how hard some try. At this point, Tom can do TCR, Fred Astaire and Uncharted or another SM trilogy if that's what he wants to do -- all different genres. If you're his fan, you'll go along for the ride or not. I would never bet against Tomvoodoo. I knew nothing about the video game, but I went to see Uncharted because it looked fun and it had Tom. I liked it. Wasn't expecting it to be a Scorsese or Nolan film and those aren't always perfect films either and I've seen those too. If they do a second Uncharted, I'll be there again just like I will be for SM4.

steve harrington x mixed!reader

🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆

takes place in season 3 !! reader is the cute girl that works at taco bell- while he was the cute guy that works at scoops ahoy! you both have a lot of chemistry. like lingering touches. longer gazes. all that !! you’ve been giving steve a lot of signs that you like him but sigh..he still has googoo eyes for nancy. and once again. my readers brown 🤭basically a mix of brown and brown 🤭(srry i love having poc readers 💪🏾)

genre// angst ! plenty of chemistry 💯soft ending..

all your coworkers knew you had the hots for steve harrington. they honestly didn’t expect you to like him since you didn’t seem like the type of girl to go for guys like him. they always questioned why though.

“he’s like a total idiot! why do you even like him?”

“he’s like a mix of dumb and handsome..the whole package, y’know?” you smile at your coworker as you fix your hair.

“no i mean like ! there are waaay better guys ! why even him?”

you glared are them for a moment and just roll your eyes.

“because these ‘better’ guys aren’t even that great. they’re just frat boys that wanna fuck? helloo???”

they sigh and just play with the bell by the register, still confused on what makes him so special.

to you, personally, what makes steve harrington so special is the way he is. the way he moves. the way he talks. everything about him. everything about his is everything you could ask for.

🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆

robin exclaimed as she was looking at the score board. she was shocked that steve finally had a point, and a lil upset about it.

“i mean it’s just no shot. she has to be playing with you steve, because there is like - no way that a girl likes you for just being- you!!”

steve was nodding to himself and resting a hand under his chin, feeling like the most intelligent man in the world.

“i know right ! i don’t have to be a total dick for her to like me, she just like.. likes me!”

“hm, must be nice- oh and look who’s here.”

robin points out and steve slowly looks in her direction and sees you coming towards scoops ahoy. you must’ve just got off your shift. your tote bag rests on your shoulder as your work clothes are peaking from inside of them. your eye shadow was a little faded from sweating. but you still looked pretty.

“don’t wave ..don’t wave..”

robin warns him to not wave and look like a total dumb ass, but he does so anyway. he gives you a silly smile and does a lil wave while his other hand rests on the counter.

you give him a smile and that just shoots him right in his dumb heart. “hey guys, has it been busy?”

“yeah yeah super busy..” steve says he can’t stop looking at you.

“um.. kind of, it’s been okay. a mix of both.” robins finishes and nudges steve with her foot, drawing him away from your charm.

“oh yeah- but uh, you just finished?”

“mhm, i actually was supposed to finish around 4 but they let me go at 2.”

“wow, must be nice, wish we were in your position, right steve?”

“mhm yeah definitely.”

you giggle at him and just lightly tap your nails on the counter, thinking of what to get.

“can i get ah��“

“—oreo ice cream in a cone? you got it.”

“wow, i didn’t even finish. can’t believe you remembered.”

“holy shit i can’t believe you remembered.”

robin was completely stunned by how straight this situation was and it made her honestly gag. but she was happy for the man steve. he deserved it.

but there was always that small lingering voice in steve’s mind as he scooped your ice cream. a voice he never really much liked. a voice that would constantly say. ‘why are you worrying about her, did you forget nancy?’ ‘nancy still wants you steve.’ ‘her and jonathan are failing. it’s time you stepped in and be the man she needs.’ all these voices kept him up at night or when he was usually alone in his mind. but he tried not to overthink.

he gives you your ice cream. your hands touching for longer then 5 seconds. he really just wanted to ‘make sure’ it was held tightly in your hands.

“and here you go, hope you enjoyed this scoops ahoy adventure.”

“thanks steve, oh and how much is it again-“

“- don’t worry it’s on the house.”

“aw stevie.. thank you. well i guess i’ll see you guys around, hm?”

they both said bye as they watch you leave and he watches you go, watching you leave like a sad puppy. robin could only shake her head.

“you should totally ask her out on a date, steve.”

“what- really ? i mean i’ve been thinking about it but i don’t wanna seem weird like. we’re just friends, you know ?”

“oh steve…” robin just gave steve a worried look, she couldn’t believe what he said and just rested a hand on his shoulder. looking concerned.

“steve steve steve! i see the way you look at her. and you have it bad my friend !”

steve has to think really hard. but then finally realizes what robin says. “you’re right robin. i should ask her out right now.”

he was about to book it out of there until she grabs him by the back of his collar, stopping him in place. he just looks back with confusion.

“not right now mister. you wait for the right time.”

“but what if it is the right time..”

“no. it’s not. look i’m just saving you from embarrassment alright?”

steve can only pout as he rests his arms on the cold ice cream case with his head resting on it.

🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆

you and steve were both closing and decided to catch a bite. both of you were sitting at a bench near the water fountain, stuffing your faces to some delicious burger king. steve watches as you take a onion ring to his mouth and notices the way you smile at the taste.

“holy shit, i haven’t eaten all day. thanks for buying my food, stevie.”

steve noticed the nickname you called him and played it cool as if he didn’t notice.

“pft, yeah sure ! what’re friends for?”

“but for real, i really do appreciate it.”

the way your dewy brown skin looked in colorful neon lights made his heart throb at the sight of you.

“hey are you like, free next weekend?” you begin to ask him and his attention returns back to you. even though they were already on you, he was more focused on what you were saying now.

“next week? yeah i should be.”

“well, did you wanna like. catch a movie together ?”

steve was a lil butt hurt that he wasn’t the first one to ask, you had beat him to the punch. but he was more happy that you wanted the same way too.

“yeah! um does 8:00 sound good?”

“mhm, sounds great.”

“it’s a date then.”

🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆

this was you and steve’s first time hanging out outside of work, or outside of just daily work attire everyday. this was your first time actually hanging out. and you were more excited then you should be.

you got all pretty and wore matching colors. the colors had matched your make up and clothes. a literal look. steve on the other hand was dressed nicely but casual, he still looked mighty fine with that shirt and collared jacket combo.

“and then two tickets for uh..”

“nightmare on elm street.” you finished and he looks back at you stunned for being the type to enjoy horror movies.

“alright, two tickets for nightmare on elm street.” the person behind the glass asked. which you both reply with a “yes” at the same time.

you guys were getting all set for the movies, with your candy and popcorn and drinks in hand as you made your way to catch your film. steve opens the door for you and let’s you walk in first which you shoot him a smile as you walk in first, he follows behind as you find seats that was perfect for the both of you.

as you both got comfy, steve was eating his popcorn while you were waiting for the movie to begin after all the commercials.

“say, i didn’t take you to be the type to enjoy scary movies. you don’t get scared?”

“no, why do you?”

“what?? no.. steve harrington? he could never.”

“alright then. but if you need someone to hold your hand like a little kid, i’ll be right here.”

🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆

during that entire movie. both of you were actually a little scared. constantly holding one another when something scary would pop up. he drove you home since you told him you actually walked here and he insisted on taking you home instead of having you walk him, especially at night, and maybe because of the movie you both watched.

“i mean like, the plot twist wasn’t expected but- it was just expected you know?”

“yeah, you got that right. the amount of blood was just horrible.”

“right. hey, i had a really good time today. thanks a lot steve.”

“i had fun too, so thank you for that. you were the one to ask me.”

it was a pleasant conversation through the entire car ride. his car pulls up to your home, and this is just his first seeing your house. he puts the car into parking on the drive way and opens his door, telling you to wait. he comes running back to your side and opens your door and you just smile and shake your head.

“how charming of you.”

“i do the best i can, y/n.”

he shuts the door close after you leave and walks you to your front door and you both stand there, not really sure what to say next.

“i really did have a lot of fun today, y/n. we should like, do it again?”

“yeah, we should. maybe we could get dinner some time? like doesn’t have to be fancy rich but like, a tiny bit fancy.”

“for sure! well, i’ll see you on our next date.” he was about to leave before you stop him.

“wait- can i.. can i hug you?” you ask him and he slowly turns at that. you wanted to hug him? steve was offered a hug after a long while of being touch starved? hell yes.

“sure! bring it in.” he gives you a bear hug. your arms wrapping around his neck as you have to stand on your tiptoes. his arms felt so nice around you, a little too nice then you expected. the hug was nice. it felt good for the both of you, but it sadly needed to come to an end when the light of your front door turned on, that being a sign for you to hurry up.

“well, um.. you have a goodnight, y/n.”

steve let’s go of your, resting a hand on his hip as he has a hand on the back of his head, leaning against the wall next to your door.

“yeah, you too!”

he watches you for a moment, your face changing from bashful to focused. and then that’s when you make the move. you give him kiss on his cheek. and it takes him a while for it to register and he just stands there like a deer in headlights.

“have a goodnight steve!”

you say happily before opening your door and closing it lightly. from behind the door, you fell to the ground as you held a smile on your face. your hand was resting on your heart and you couldn’t believe how bad you had it for him.

“my heart is beating so fast..” you say softly to yourself as you try to catch your breath. but everything was moving so fast as you sit on the ground.

steve stood outside your door for a solid 3 minutes before finally gaining consciousness. he was beat red and couldn’t stop thinking about the sly move you made. he just had to pray to god that he would be able to be cool with you for the rest of the week.

🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆

your guys’ dinner date finally came around. you made reservations on call and told steve about them. he told you he would’ve been coming a little late, around 5 minutes later but you were totally fine with it.

you got all dolled up for him as you sit nicely and look around the restaurant seeing everyone with their lovely dates. you felt a little left out but didn’t think too much about it.

5 minutes turned to 10. 10 minutes turned to 30 minutes. 30 turned into 1 hour. you began to grow impatient. the waiter kept coming back to check in on if you were ready and you had nicely asked if he could get you the check.

“here’s your check. hey, i’m sorry to hear about your shit of a date on showing up. he had no reason to stood up someone as pretty as you. you seem fun to be around.”

the cute waiter tried to calm you down with sweet words, it didn’t help much but you appreciated his efforts.

“thank you though, i appreciate it.” you say before getting up and going.

the moment you see steve tomorrow at work was the day he would remember.

you were more then hurt. you were heart broken. disappointed by him for what he did. didn’t he like you? you thought he did. unless something changed. what changed ?

(meanwhile…)

steve was getting ready but his mind started to drift to memories. memories of nancy. where he used to love her. but now that he has found someone new that loves him. he’s not sure of himself. should he still hold onto an old flame?or move onto someone new. he doesn’t know if he misses nancy. or if he misses the feeling of being inlove.

he liked you a lot. but he wasn’t sure if he loves you. maybe he does. all these thoughts kept nagging up. they’ve been nagging him since they moment he’s met you.

🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆

the next day was horrible. steve didn’t get any sleep. the loud overbearing thoughts couldn’t shut up as he rest. also due to the fact that he literally stood you up. that’s nothing like him.

he saw you walk past scoops ahoy and wanted to talk to you. he needed to talk to you. but you probably hated him. hated everything he did and everything that he was. you couldn’t blame him. he was stupid. stupid to hold those intrusive thoughts instead of telling you. he didn’t just hurt himself. he hurt you too.

“okay steve. you are acting really weird. what happened on your guys’ date ?”

“i chickened out on our date.”

“what the hell? you idiot steve! you are the definition of dingus. why didn’t you go?”

“because i couldn’t stop thinking about nancy, but i don’t want nancy. because i want y/n, but i just- shit. i can’t think.”

he couldn’t take it and threw his hands on his head in distress and his head was resting on the counter of the cash register. luckily it was empty so steve was able to have a break down. robin rubs his back in reassurance. trying her best to be their for her friend.

“i’m not interrupting anything am i ?”

oh no. oh no no no no. you were here. infront of him. seeing him at this moment. seeing him weak infront of you. he wanted to curl up in a ball and die. you probably wanted him dead.

“y/n!! didn’t see you there! how’s it hanging?”

steve instantly “lit” up at the sight of you, trying not to seem awkward.

“hi steve. hi robbie.”

“hellooo” robin says as she gives steve a pat on the back and whispers to him. “good luck.. you’re gonna need it.”

she left him. all alone. facing only you.

“steve.”

he couldn’t do anything, he was so worried about what you might say to him, what you might even think of him.

“steve.”

you probably are heartbroken now because of him. you’ll never be the same again.

“steve !”

your voice brought him away from his thoughts.

“hey, are you okay? if it’s about like you chickening out, it’s fine. you probably have bigger things going on.”

“what? no no ! it’s not that it’s just- yeah it’s actually that.”

“well.. what is it.” he sighed to himself as he grabs your hand and brings you to a booth in the corner he sits next to you and lets out a long sigh.

“i don’t know if i still like nancy, but i like you, and i want to be with you. but nancy was super shitty to me, and i know you’ll treat me right but i’m just afraid of making the same mistake again.”

“oh ! well, if you’re not ready for a relationship and all that.. you could’ve just said so.”

“what?”

“i get it, old flames suck. and trying to find new people suck.”

“wow, thanks ! i um i’m sorry.”

“apology not accepted, just because you feel the way you feel doesn’t give you an excuse to treat someone horribly, that hurt steve.”

he was so amazed in the type of person you were, you were like bossy but not bossy, you were understanding and compassionate.

“you’re right, it’s unforgivable it’s just. i have a lot on my mind.”

“am i at least part of it..?”

“yes- and no it’s nothing bad. i really do like you, like a lot. maybe too much.”

“you really do?”

“yes, y/n. i really do.”

you smile and grab his hand, your hands always looked so pretty. there was always something about them that just made him go soft. maybe it’s the way they felt. the way they felt in his. the way they fit together, as if you were made for him as he was made for you.

“am i dreaming right now?” you asked and smile at him.

“man, if this was a dream, i don’t think i’d ever wanna wake up from it.”

“ew, that’s so corny steve!”

he couldn’t help it. he wanted to be with you. after a while of fighting his intrusive thoughts. he could finally let go. he was free from the toxicity. he was finally able to love.

you hug him and he hugs you like there’s no tomorrow, making you let out a breath from being held tightly.

“stevie.. you’re squeezing the life outta me.”

“sorry- i just, i’m so inlove with you i can’t.”

“you’re lucky i love you back. you big dumb dumb.”

this fic was a bit rushed but- i do not care.
