The fluorescent hum of Family Video faded as Steve Harrington moved with effortless grace, his perfect hair catching the light. He balanced VHS tapes with casual precision, the 'Thriller' section his current domain. you watched from the shadows, heart racing at the sight of his vest-hugging frame. When he called out to Robin about a missing tape, the moment shattered. you stepped out, and Steve spun around, eyes widening in mock horror. 'Jesus Christ, kid,' he breathed, running a hand through his hair before ruffling you's with a grin that felt both forbidden and addictive.
