Cold as Ice - Chapter 7 - Part 1

*Warning Adult Content*

Wren Ridley

To: Lance - Come outside.

From: Landon Reilly - What the fuck? Are you outside my house?

To: Lance - Why else would I be telling you to come outside?

From: Landon Reilly - Leve.

From: Landon Reilly - Leave.

To: Lance - Do you have trouble spelling?

From: Landon Reilly - Go away and stop texting me.

To: Lance - So. Is it safe to assume you don't need a ride back to school?

It was only a minute later that Landon stomped out of the front door of his house, his bag slung around his shoulder, glaring at my car with his hair hanging down in front of his eyes.

He opened the door, threw his bag in the backseat and got in before slamming the door shut and pulling his seatbelt on.

I knew he was going to be moody when I showed up at his house and that was part of the reason why I did it.

There was something so entertaining about how easy it was to rile Landon up.

He reminded me of Fox in that sense but then I looked at him with his face turned in a frown, his jaw clenched tightly and how that squared his jawline and I wished I hadn't thought of my brother in that moment at all.

I was treading on dangerous territory with Landon and I didn't know why I had even cared to see him so angry with me, why it made me want to see him all the more.

It was sickening and wrong, yet I wouldn't let myself feel shame over it.

"How did you know I'd still be home?" Landon grumbled, looking down with his arms crossed over this chest.

"Because I knew you'd be contemplating texting me all day because you really don't want to take the bus and it seems like you don't want to ask the Hanson's for help," I started, tapping my fingers against the steering wheel.

"But you have too much pride to text me for a ride, so I made the decision for you while I was feeling generous."

Landon shook his head.

"You're so fucking weird."

I shrugged.

"Maybe but you're desperate."

He glared at me as I shifted the car into drive and pulled away from the curb.

My book playing softly was the only sound in the car.

Landon must not have had the energy to make a big deal out of it but I found it hard to concentrate on the words with him letting out sighs of annoyance every few seconds.

I paused the book without saying a word but that only caused him to let out another sigh.

"Seriously?" he asked.

"What?"

"We're going to sit in silence, again."

"I can't listen to my book with somebody making so much noise in the passenger seat," I told him.

"I'm surprised you're not fogging up my windows with all your heavy breathing."

Landon gaped at me, then shut his mouth before opening it again to speak.

"You are insufferable," he said.

I let out an impressed hum.

"I'm surprised you know that word."

"I'm surprised I got in this car with you, again."

"I'm not. I knew you would," I said.

"However, you were quick to leave when I saw you at that diner."

"Just shut up," he said, without any conviction in his voice.

Part of me felt like he wanted me to say these things that made him feel bad about himself, like it was a form of punishment he put himself through for what he had done in the past.

I didn't know whether to indulge in it or not give him what he wanted.

We sat in silence for the rest of the ride.

Once we got back into the city, I had Landon give me directions to his dorm building.

"I think I know why you left the diner so quickly the other night."

I said it because I couldn't help myself because some twisted part of me needed to see his reaction.

"Turn left and shut up."

"You feel guilty for whatever you did to Elijah. You can't even look at him and you don't want to be confronted by him or Fox. So, you ran."

He didn't answer me.

He just clenched his fists and his teeth, like he was holding back a hard punch and his sharp tongue.

"Because you know you hurt them for nothing other than being exactly what you are," I continued as I pulled up to his building.

"And you beat them with the thought that if you hurt them enough, it would change something about you and it didn't. You're just the same with more guilt."

I parked the car, turned to face Landon and at the last second saw a fist coming for my face just before it made contact and sent me jolting backward.

I barely had time to register what had happened before Landon pulled his bag from the backseat and got out of the car, slamming the door shut behind him.

Once I came to my senses, I touched my face where he had punch me and winced in pain.

Then I laughed and even though it hurt my face to do it, I laughed all the way home.

Landon Reilly

My knuckles felt like they were splitting from how hard I had hit Wren but when I looked down at them the skin was just red, not broken.

I cursed at myself as I flexed my hand.

He had gotten under my skin but I had become too angry and that wasn't supposed to be who I was anymore.

Part of me felt like he deserved it.

He only said those things to make me angry but I also knew it only made me angry because it was all true.

It didn't really matter.

I shouldn't have punched him, no matter what he said or how angry he made me.

I was still flexing my hand and looking down at it when I opened the door to my dorm room.

When I entered the room and looked up, I saw my roommate Kyle with a girl on top of him and quickly averted my gaze.

"Oh shit. Sorry Landon," Kyle said, sounding embarrassed.

"I should've put a sock on the door-knob or something."

It really wasn't that big of a deal.

It was just shocking to walk in on.

"It's fine. I'll go," I said, turning to leave without looking up at them.

"Wait," the girl said, causing me to pause my movements.

"I know you from somewhere."

I looked up and immediately looked down again when I saw that she had turned to face me, topless.

I heard her get off the bed and saw her bend down to pick her shirt up off the floor.

Only after she had a shirt on did I look up again.

"The other night," she continued.

"At the bar. I was with Wren. He took you back to his place."

I frowned at her.

Little did she know that I had just been with Wren and he made me so angry that I lashed out.

"You probably don't remember at all," she said.

"You were pretty out of it."

"Yeah, I don't remember," I muttered, hoping to ending the conversation with that.

"Well, I'm Stella," she said.

"And if you ever want to go out with a group of people who won't leave you drunk and alone, you should come with us. Wren said he knew you from home."

"Yeah. Sort of."

Stella smiled and looked back at Kyle.

"You should both come out with us this weekend," she offered.

"It's a fun time."

I was about to deny her when Kyle spoke up.

"Sure," he said.

"Perfect. I'll text you," Stella said, grabbing her phone and keys from his desk and making her way toward the door.

"Bye," and with that she walked by me and out the door and I shut it behind her.

I stood in silence for a moment, not daring to look over at Kyle.

"Sorry, for uh, walking in," I said, looking down at the floor.

"It was my fault. We had already hooked up, we were just going for another round," Kyle said.

I looked up to see him shrugging from his bed.

"It's not a big deal."

All I did was nod and go over to my side of the room.

I threw my bag onto my bed and started unpacking my things, my knuckles stinging any time something brushed against them.

I forced myself to take deep breaths, hoping to rid myself of the anger and embarrassment I had felt in the last ten minutes.

Missing you like crazy

Pairing: Steve harrington x fem!reader

Summary: You surprise Steve, by coming home for the holidays

Warnings: a few swear words, fluff

Words: 1.2k Masterlist

(English is not my first, so please excuse any grammar/spelling mistakes)

Studying at the university in a different state was hard for Steve and you. You were able to see each other only during holidays and sometimes on the weekends.

You missed your boyfriend like a lot and he was pretty much a lost cause without you.

So when you called Steve, saying, that you couldn't come home for the spring holidays, it crushed him. He was so excited to be with you after months of not seeing you.

You had a great deal of things to study for, you were already so behind your assignments, that you couldn't just afford to go home and take a break.

But hearing Steve's broken 'okay, it's alright, we can figure something out after the spring' broke your heart.

You couldn't leave him sulk and be like a kicked puppy the whole spring break.

I mean, Robin already called you like 5 times in a week to complain about him.

He was miserable, so you decided to surprise him.

You pulled a few all-nighters, by a few i mean like a whole week, and worked on your assignments. By the time you finished everything you needed to, you were absolutely drained.

You gathered all the strength you had left, packed your things and got on a bus first thing in the morning. Thankfully the bus drive was like 10 hours, so you had a plenty of time to sleep.

Before you left, you called Robin to find out where Steve would be. She told you he was going to be closing the store, so you decided to wait for him in his house.

When the bus finally stopped in your hometown and you were shaken awake, it was already dark outside. You spotted Robin waiting on you at the station

"What are you doing here?" you asked and gave her a tight hug.

"Well, we can't have you walking home alone now, can we?" she beamed at you.

"So what? You are going to walk me to Steve's house?" you gave her a confused look.

"You don't have a license or a car. "

"Of course i'm not walking you home, dumbass, " she playfully punched you in the arm, "we have a taxi waiting for us."

"Oh right, i didn't think of that" you chuckled with her.

"Come on, let's get you home" she took your hand and dragged you towards the car.

You flopped yourself down on his bed and watched some movie, while you waited on Steve to get home.

You were still exhausted, even if you'd slept through the whole bus ride. You tried so hard not to fall asleep. But eventually your eyelids got heavier and heavier until they fully closed.

Steve came home worn out, angry and frustrated. The custumers were pain in his ass the entire day, also he managed to spill his drink on the floor, which he had to then clean and above it all he missed you like crazy. He had such a bad day, he wanted nothing else, but to just go to bed.

He locked the door and kicked his shoes in such a hurry, that he hadn't even noticed your shoes laying by the door.

He loudly made a late night snack in the kitchen and made his way to his room.

But when he heard noises and saw the light come from his room, he almost dropped the food on the floor.

Slowly, he opened the door and was prepared to face whoever or whatever was in his room.

He wasn't expecting to see you there. This time he did, dropped his food.

He wasn't sure if you were really there or if he was hallucinating from the exhaustion.

It took him a few seconds to realise, it really was you, peacefully sleeping on his bed. His eyes got glossy and he didn't waste a second and immediately took you in his arms.

"Uhmm, hi Stevie" you sleepily said to his chest, when you woke up. You knew straight away it was your Steve.

"Sweetheart, what are you doing here? I thought you couldn't come" he pulled you away from his chest to look at your beautiful face.

"Just wanted to surprise you" you mumbled, still half asleep.

"Wait, what?" he couldn't comprehence, that you were actually there, in his room. He thought his heart was going to explode from all the happines.

"I said, i wanted to surprise you" you giggled at his confused face.

"But i thought you had too much work in school" he was baffled.

"I may have pulled a few all nighters" you sheepishly looked at him.

"You did?"

"Yeah, i couldn't let you be upset the whole break and i missed you too much" he was left for words. He couldn't believe you were really in his arms.

"You did it just for me?" he asked.

"Yeah" you blushed. Steve just gave you the brightest smile and started peppering your face with kisses.

"I guess you really missed me, huh?" you teased him.

"I sure fucking did. I always miss you when you aren't here" he wanted to pull you back to him, but you stopped him.

"You should go change this horrible uniform and shower" he really didn't want to do that, but he knew you were right.

"Rude" he said, "i just want to hold my girlfriend, who i haven't seen in months and she tells me to leave her alone" he fake frowned. You were trying not to laugh at him.

"The faster you get there, the sooner you'll get to hug me again" you pointed out.

"Ugh fine, but don't go anywhere" he still wasn't really sure, if it was indeed you there or if it was just his mind playing games .

"Before i go, i need a kiss" he smirked at you.

"That will be no problem at all" you smiled at him and leaned to brush his lips with yours.

"There" you pulled away with the biggest smirk on your face.

"Uh Uh, that wasn't a kiss" he was literally pouting. He was desperately trying to kiss you, but you kept avoiding his kisses.

"C'mon love, give me a real kiss, please" he tackled you under him in a playful way.

"No" you said in serious voice, but after you saw his poor face, you couldn't help but to laugh.

"You are so mean" he started to tickle you until you were begging him to stop.

"Will you give your desperately in love boyfriend a kiss now?" he looked down at you with pleading eyes.

"Come here" you gave in. You wanted to kiss him so bad, but it was fun to tease him for a little.

This time he didn't give you the time to try tease him again, because he immediately deepened the kiss.

The kiss mirrored what you were feeling. The longing for each other, the ache of missing each other, the love and the happines of being finally together.

By the time you pulled apart both of your hair was a mess and your lips was swollen from all the kissing.

"I miss you so fucking much" you softly spoke against his lips.

"I know, i do too. But we can do this, right? Just a little longer and we will be together for 2 month "yeah, you couldn't wait for the summer to finally start.

"Yeah" you nodded, "i love you."

"And I love you" he smiled at you.

Steve forced himself out of you embrace to go shower after god knows how many minutes.

But he was, not even 5 minutes after back in the bed, snuggling you close. You both fell asleep fast, very content to finally be together.
