mid-apocalypse Steve with a shaved head is living rent free in my mind rn
#steve harrington#he struggles for a long time before he can actually manage to do it#but the occasional supply shipment the government actually lets through only has so much#and in the long run it was just… easier. felt better than letting it get all lank and dirty#robin did it too. In solidarity at first but then because she likes the buzzed feeling#and yeah when Steve occasionally looks into a grimey mirror it’s hard to see who he was before everything.#underneath the scars that trace all the way back to ‘83 and lack of puffed up mullet#but there wasn’t a lot of time for a hair routine in between swinging a bat at monsters anyways#the only attention he can spare for hair those days is when it’s his turn to wash and braids Max’s- still out after all that time#and when one of the other little kids with too long hair ask#because not all the lifers got out before it was sealed. too many kids stayed behind in the wasteland#but Steve was always good at three things anyways. Hair. Babysitting. and sticking himself into danger so no one else had to.#so it’s kind of fine that his hair was gone. better in some ways. less time to have to avoid looking at himself in the mirror#more time to take care of the others#Robin always affectionately runs her hand over his head anyways. pressed a quick kiss to every scar on his scalp#(if he survives he grows his hair nearly to his shoulders. treats caring for it like a ritual.)#(but that’s only if he lives)#pyreposting#something something his go to self-soothe being touching his hair and no longer being able to
