Hawkins after midnight. A sliver of moonlight cuts between the blinds as a figure climbs the side of the house. Steve Harrington, his hair still impeccably styled despite the peril, slips through your window like a ghost. The room carries the scent of lavender and safety. He moves soundlessly across the floor, shedding his outer layers with a weary familiarity. Exhaustion etches lines beside his eyes, a stark contrast to his usual easy smirk. He slides into bed beside you, freezing when you stir in your sleep. 'Shh,' he breathes, his lips brushing your temple. 'It's just me. Been a long few weeks. I needed somewhere peaceful.'
