When you need a man s.h x reader

After everything that had happened in Hawkins, everyone agreed to a weekly hang out. Everyone knew not to ask or plan something with any of your little family on Sunday. Typically it was breakfast at the diner and then hanging out at someone's house. This sunday it was warm so everyone is at steves for the day. Of course since you have been dating Michael for over a year he is welcome too. Well welcomed as in no one tells you no, but really no one wants him here. Typically when one graduates they loose their fuck boy tendencies, but not micheal. Sometimes you wonder what the point is, why stay with him? I mean that is what everyone asks you anyways, the answer is simple. He is doing you a favor by going out with you. No one else would ever want to go out with you. It breaks your heart, you are a strong woman, but hearing those words over and over again you can't help but believe them. You feel like you are slowly losing yourself, and you are not the only one either. The group sees it. The group knows you know he is playing you. Well today was enough. Steve's heart has been breaking for you. Not even because he is in love with you, but because he is your best friend and has helped you grow so much. But Michael is breaking you back down.

It was small really. At breakfast, you and Michael were sitting together, as always. You tend to like to have physical contact, so you were holding his hand on the table. Yet when the waitress came over to take your order he quickly let go of your hand. You thought no one saw, and thanked the stars no one did. How embarrassing is it that your own boyfriend doesnt even want to hold your hand. But Steve saw, he always sees you. At that moment Steve knew today was the day, he either yells at Michael or tells you how he feels. He knows you don't like negative attention, so he waits until you are back at his place for the pool party.

Micheal is in the water minding his own business, not even paying attention to you. So like he has always done, Steve comes to your rescue to help put on the sun block. “Thanks stevie. I couldn't quite get back.”

“No worries, pretty girl. I will always be here for you. That being said, I can always be honest with you, Y/N right?”

Turning to face him you simply say, “Of course Steve I would want nothing but the truth.”

He almost wishes you would have stayed turned around so he didn't have to see your eyes when he broke your heart. “Okay well please let me go and don’t interrupt me. I am not sure why you're still with michael. But that is your business. However it becomes my business when you are clearly miserable. Honey, I have no idea what he is saying to you, but I can say with absolute honesty that it is a lie. You are so beautiful, but pretty girl your light is going out. And I know for a fact it is him. He is the biggest player still around, you know this and so do i. You can have any guy you want, stop letting him play around with you. You need a man, but he is a boy.” He knew this was it. Your mouth was opening and shutting. You were going to ice him out for good. You just look at him and continue to blink. Eventually it all gets too much and you stand.

“Micheal, let's go. I need to go home.” Everyone stops and stares at you, as we have established this Sunday hang out is sacred. He just yells back that he will meet you at your house. Rolling your eyes you shout “Don't bother” and walk off to your car.

You don't know what happened once you left, in hindsight maybe you should have stayed. But you needed to get out and get some air. You have spent all day on the roof. You have asked the sky, the clouds, the sun, the moon, and the stars for an answer. Yet you keep getting the same answer. To break up with michael. Looking at the sky one more time hoping for a different answer, looking for an answer you have the courage to do. But you are met with the same answer, so in a moment of bravery you climb in your room ready to do what needs to be done. Picking up the phone you dial his number and hype yourself up, you can do this. No more being miserable. Yet when you were met with the voicemail you do what you can with the courage you have, leaving a message. “Your stuff is in a box on the porch, come pick it up by Monday. We are done.” The message was simple, but your feelings were not so simple. You almost called back to say nevermind, but instead you ended up calling the number of your best friend. The one that you know can help you.

Picking up the phone you dial a number you have memorized since he got it, “Steve, I need you.” You don't even hear what he says. What gets you out of your panic induced trance is the opening and closing of your door. The trance has ended but the pacing has begun, “I did it. I ended it. You were right. I have been feeling like this awhile. But he told him no one would ever love me-”

“That is the biggest lie I have ever heard. He is lying to you sweetheart,” he grabs your hand and leads you to the couch. He sits you down and then gets on his knees in front of you. “You just need someone to show you how you deserve to be loved. You need someone that you can trust. You need someone that will treat you like royalty because honey you are. You need someone to always hold your hand.” at this he grabs your hands in his. “I know it's not easy, but I am proud of you. I would love to be that man. Man, not a boy. I will love you, I will be trustworthy, I will treat you like royalty, and most important;y i will hold your hand. But I know this is all a bit much. So I will wait for you. But never hesitate to tell me when you are ready, I love you and will wait however long you need. Just call me when you need a man.”

You think he is going to pull away and leave, thinking it was all a joke. But no. He gets up and moves to sit with you on the couch. That is how you spend the night. In the arms of a man who loves you and will wait until you are ready. It is not going to be easy, but you now have a light at the end of the tunnel, your stevie.

ps I hope you enjoyed it <3

[on the verge of having a complete breakdown] i need to make some kind of list or perhaps sort things into categories

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

I confuse people. i have a happy personality and a sad soul. i'm bold but shy. i love deeply but sometimes i feel heartless. i'm healing and hurting at the same time. i'm dedicated to growth, but i self sabotage

the self care industry will sell you face masks and teas and whatnot so i'm here to remind you not to forget the most important self care activity which is masturbation

Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.

Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.
