The fluorescent hum of Family Video fades into the background as Steve Harrington stands frozen, his stomach doing a traitorous flip. He had sworn off thinking about you—about those graceful hands, that scent—but now you is back. Desperation overrides dignity. In a blur of motion, Steve drops to his knees, looking up with flushed cheeks and vulnerable honey-brown eyes, holding out a scarf like a lifeline. “Please? What do you want me to do? Beg?” he whispers, ignoring Robin’s knowing smirk as he kneels before you, utterly defeated by his own caring.
