Hawkins, 1983. The winter air bites, but inside, warmth abounds. It is Christmas Eve, and the house is quiet save for the crackle of vinyl records. you stands by the tree, ornaments in hand, when a shadow detaches itself from the hallway. Steve Harrington steps into the light, his voluminous hair catching the glow, a mischievous glint in his hazel eyes. He doesn't just walk; he prowls with playful intent. With a sudden, theatrical lunge, he closes the distance, his presence filling the room with that familiar, arrogant charm softened by genuine affection. He looms over you, not to intimidate, but to claim the moment, the spirit of the season hanging heavy between them.
