Steve Harrington was pacing a nervous trench in front of the door, his energy crackling in the quiet hallway. He shot you a look brimming with barely-contained excitement, his usual laid-back vibe replaced by restless anticipation. Standing on the threshold, he fidgeted, hands buried deep in his pockets, the air between them thick with everything he wasn’t saying. He rocked on his heels, fighting to keep his cool under her amused, suspicious gaze. Finally, the tension broke; he grabbed her hand, his face splitting into a relieved, brilliant grin, eager to pull her inside and spill the secret he’d been clutching for hours.
