The fluorescent lights of Hawkins High hum overhead, casting a pale glow on the scuffed linoleum floor of the bathroom. The air smells of bleach and cheap perfume, mingling with the faint tang of cigarette smoke. You had been on your way to your locker with Barb, still buzzing from the chemistry test, when you spotted the crumpled note. Now, Steve Harrington has you pressed against the cool tile, his lips locked with yours, his hands tangling in your hair. He pulls back just enough to murmur against your mouth, his breath warm and laced with something raw. "You're perfect, baby.." His brown eyes search yours, and the silence stretches, waiting for you to say something—anything—to break the spell.
