For the record store drabbles I can’t stop thinking about Steve finally confessing by either including F.R. David’s “Music” in one of his future mixtapes or actually singing it 😳. Idk singing it may be too much but including it on the mixtape would be nice since it’s so vague, even funnier if record store girl has no clue that he’s trying to confess.

-💕😊

HIIIIII ugh so sorry it took me extra long to answer this 🏃‍♀️ how are u doin !!

steve x record store girl hcs part of 1 2 3

nervous steve making you playlists and drunk steve serenading you at karaoke under the cut 😏

i listened to the song! i love the idea of steve making mixes for you and putting in love songs he associates with you

he thinks long and hard about what songs to put in because he’s worried they’ll be too direct and scare you off. he stands behind the counter at family video, writing ideas for track lists on the back of old receipts and rearranging the tracks over and over again, crossing ‘dedicated to the one i love’ off the list because. if he puts it in you’ll think youre the one he loves. which you are, but you can’t know that. he just stands there spiralling and overthinking and getting zero work done

this results in a lot of vague love songs and you just. do not get the hint. so the songs just get calculatedly and progressively less vague but you still dont get it because youre not a mind reader! which lowkey frustrates steve because this is all he really knows how to do since he met you and his flirting skills just. left the room.

i LOVE the idea of him singing to you :( that’s so cuteeee

of course you have your singing sessions in his car where you’re screaming fleetwood mac at the top of your lungs (imagine going for drives and just yelling “oOoOoOh IIIIIIIIIIIII I WANNA BE WITH YOU EVERYWHERE” 😭😭😭) but this time it’s different. maybe it’s something like him asking “did you like the song i put on the new mixtape?” “which one?” and he quietly sings the words with this awkward smile and he’s all shy about it because he has to pretend like the words don’t perfectly summarise all his feelings about you and he’s basically pouring out his heart in song form

after he’s done there’s this long pause and he gets so embarrassed because he thinks he messed up but you just smile and go “that was beautiful, stevie.” and his hands are just trembling afterward

speaking of hands trembling imagine helping out stocking records/tapes when you hang out with each other at the record store/fam video? your hands brush as you hand each other a tape or put one on the shelf or walk past each other? there’s a moment there and you guys just glance at your hands and just try not to have a breakdown. it’s very pride and prejudice.

okay back to singing

one night you all go out for karaoke and he gets a little tipsy and steve gets on stage and goes “this one’s dedicated to the coolest girl in hawkins!!!!!!!” and sings something cheesy like you really got me??? youre laughing and cheering him on as he yells into the mic and points at you and has his rockstar moment

eddie drives you home and steve walks you to your door and you say something like “just so you know, i think you’re the coolest guy in hawkins. see you around, rockstar.” and you maybe even give him a kiss on the cheek before turning around and going inside and he just freezes 😭 once you’re inside he just falls back on the grass and eddie has to drag him back to the car and sober him up 😭

he wakes up on the floor of eddie’s trailer with a massive hangover and just touches his cheek and smiles :,)

AVERAWR

I AM REVIVED, I LIVED I LOVED I DIED literally i have a long story time for you to ʕ•ε•ʔ

I had swimming yesterday for a lesson, it was supposed to be three periods and they were holding an examination for like your skills since these people were not our regular teachers 👩‍🦲 I have such low stamina for not training anymore in sports these past few years,, I swam five laps and omw back I was starting to slow down 🏋‍♀️ I was like oh no hel☹️p when I got up to sit back down for the next style my legs were trembling I couldn't even move 😭❓❓ my head was aching and I felt so dizzy I kept waiting and I told my frds about the dizziness and stuff then at some point while waiting I had to urge to vomit 😦 i acc couldnt take it after a few seconds and told my friends one of them told me to go to the bathroom and i was like i dont wanna explain to the instructor since it sounded like a excuse to me but the lady was really nice in general. my friend told me to just run over and she would explain so i did,, i could not even see where i was going from the dizziness LOL the instructor told me to just use the handicapped bathroom 👩🏻‍🍳 i thought it was a storage room tb but anywyadf i stood inside there for so long my frd came back to check on me but the feeling of wanting to vomit wasnt there anymore but i was still so dizzy my legs also couldnt take it, i didnt wanna sit on the toilet 😥 i got forced to go to the nurse after my frd and i took a quick cleanse for our hair and changed she walked me there, thankfully its on the same floor, my hair is really long and still wet with my towel and the nurses were like oomg it so wet change towel pleek 😟 they thought i was gonna get sick or catching a cold because of the sudden weather changes between these few days along w swimming so i rested and fell asleep for like three periods and i still felt terrible and they said to get my phone back to call my mother to pick me up but i was like 🙊 what if she busy w a session, i hesitated alot with the decision but i felt like i was dying and the urge to vomit kept coming back and forth 🏌🏻‍♀️so one nurse took me to the elevator up to the 6th floor to get all my stuff just in case,, in the end she was able to pick me up and when i explained to my mother about everything she instantly figured out like i lacked glucose and sleep 💔💔 she told me to eat chocolate first before telling me that so i was like what ⚰️ felt better this morning but the nauseousness kept coming back from time to time 👬 and im still a little dizzy while writing this, that was so chaotic 👩🏻‍🚀

- 🎎/Ko

OH MY GOD KO YOURE BACK I MISSED YOU SO MUCH don’t tell me you died literally what- 😭😭 BUT ALSO I HOPE YOU’RE FEELING BETTER NOW!! The lack of glucose is one thing but having the extra adrenaline and stress of being examined while being low on fuel probably made everything worse on your body DDD: I’m glad your friends and the instructor were all understanding though!! I’ve heard of some staff who are downright cruel when it comes to students struggling

I had something similar YEARS ago when I actually touched grass did sport. Did an hour of swimming then tennis while there was back burning so I was inhaling smoke for 2 hours straight and without any food 🙃 When I got home I was NOT looking good skdjskdj. I answered this a few days late (IM SO SORRY ABOUT THAT BY THE WAY) but take it easy for now, alright?? <333

Omggg my heart! This is gold! I love seeing some glimpses of Arthur’s past, this was so in character and so canon. I can perfectly imagine his first kiss like that, it was perfect and you're so creative this is absolutely canon oh my. I love the atmospheres you created, both at the park and the rainy atmosphere during his first kiss, and the pic you choose is so dreamy 💙 This moment with Sarah while feeding birds is very sweet omg 😭

Y/N must have noticed them, too, because she nudged him when they passed a pair making out on a knoll near the duck pond. "If we'd met back then, would we have been doing the same thing? All over each other without caring who saw?" / A light laugh caught in his throat. He gave her side-eye, taking a drag off his cigarette. "You already don't care who hears." - omg this made me laugh so much 😂😂 I love the humor between them ill keep saying it for good 😂

It was the cracking of the glass that got him to stop, got him to notice what he was doing. The compulsion he'd felt and given into to hurt himself was new. Frightening. And cemented his abnormality. He'd lifted his fingers to his forehead - there'd been no blood, at least. Then he'd squinted at the mirror and groaned, annoyed he'd have to replace it. Quickly, he took it down and threw it in the trash can, not wanting his mother to see what he'd done. - I love this. The scene is very intense and you described his thoughts perfectly. It's so canon, and it was very interesting reading about his self-harm for the first time, this is truly canon and so raw 🥺

Penny had noticed his lack of absence first. Then his failure to do anything besides smoke and get off the couch to use the bathroom. She'd asked if he was okay for the first time in months. And he'd confessed, rasping softly, "No, mom. I need someone." The humiliation he felt at yearning for such simplicities grew as he went through his list. "I want to take her to the movies. To light her cigarette. To hold her." He'd exhaled sharply and flinched. "I want her to laugh at my jokes." - this was so sad, poor thing. 😭 In the whole piece I could feel how much Arthur wanted someone to love. You write him so so well it leaves speechless every time.

He hadn't seen her again. But he'd clung to the memory of that kiss for ages. Reminisced when he'd ached for another life and wanted to believe it might be possible. And for less chaste longings. It had stopped being a placeholder years ago, when he'd realized he'd always live with Penny. Not alone, but lonely, until he was lucky enough to check out forever. - once again I'm speechless, i love your takes on Arthur, everything you write seems belonging to the script. And I love how you wrote Penny! She's so canon too omg

"Kissing you is nicer," Arthur said, slinging an arm around Y/N, meeting her gaze. / She giggled. "Oh?" Her tongue darted out to lick her bottom lip, only inches from his own. "And why's that?" / "You love me. And you want me." The touch of his fingertips went to her upper arm, guiding her to recline on the grass. "All the time," he scolded mockingly, rasp barely above a whisper. His lips tickled her, just under her ear, and he delighted in the way she squirmed and batted at his shoulder. - omg this is so sweet my heart 😭😭😭 I love how Arthur is more comfortable with her every day more yet he's always the shy, romantic and in general yhe Arthur he's always been. So so beautiful this passage 🥺💙

Wide-eyed, Arthur's head snapped back to look at Y/N, nearly colliding with her as she held her hand in front of her eyes. Thank god she answered straightaway. "Sorry, officer." She sat up, pushing Arthur off her. The blush currently spreading across her cheeks made him snort. "It's such a beautiful night and, well..." she gestured in his direction. Christ, would she never find it inappropriate to brag about him? He turned away and hid behind his palm. / Y/N stood and brushed off her clothing. "We'll behave, madam. I promise." The cop shook her head and rode off. Y/N covered her mouth as she burst into laughter. "I guess this means we wouldn't have cared who saw." - I love this omgg 😂😂 this is too fun and it's beautiful seeing them so lighthearted and playful, and I love the way Sarah finds every chance to brag about him. Go girl go, I can't relate! 😂

Arthur stood up beside her, pulling up his pants and fixing his hair. "Thanks for sharing that with me," she said. / As she reached to remove a leaf from his jacket, he stepped to her and cupped her face, melding their lips once more. "I'll share anything with you." - omg this! This made me so soft, they're far too beautiful together, it's not fair! 😭😭 The perfect couple i swear, these dialogues are my soft spot 💙 I really love this piece. It's special 💙

As Arthur felt the first periods of genuine satisfaction within his own skin, he discovered which activities he enjoyed the most. Performing for children, seeing their small faces beam in reaction to his magic tricks. When he was doing a comedy set somewhere and his laughter didn’t occur. Working on material or listening to music. And every second with Y/N at his side.

Weaving himself completely with another person hadn’t been something he’d believed possible. But during the past eleven months, his assumptions had changed. Y/N knew about the difficulty he often had interpreting people, about his illnesses, about each time he’d been remanded to Arkham. Instead of recoiling as he’d feared, she reminded him to take his medication on the rare occasion he would forget. The calendar that hung by the kitchen entrance had both his appointments or gigs and her court dates written in his scrawl. She delved into his interests by watching old comedies he rented or shows he picked out. He’d explored hers by paying extra attention to Action News and asking about the cases she was working on. And they’d gotten in the habit of watching Gotham Tonight before heading to bed. It was the repetitive mundanities of normal life, the routines and rhythms they’d fallen into, that he found most intimate.

Yet, she still had the ability to flummox him.
