a sigh of relief, squeezing her mom in a hug. his fears had partly lifted. “ okay . . . i might have feelings for a— boy but i’m not sure. ”

the words came out quickly, face hidden in his mom's hair. “ i don't know how it works. ” babbling, blushing suddenly.

“Steve, you can't get rid of me that easily. I will always love you.” she said as she hugged his side gently. She already knew but she was waiting on him to tell her.

“ good choice. ” steve made a small jump to join her behind the counter , taking the scoop to make her ice cream too.

hinting a softly smirk. “ at least i’m not eating it alone. ”

when steve noticed the house phone ringing, he got out of bed huffing. who could possibly be bothering him at that hour? some other trouble?

he grabbed the phone to answer it. “ that’s harrington house. steve is currently unavailable. ” the tone was playful &&. ironic.

steve was really bad at fighting and billy and jonathan were proof of that. “ and neither was the bodyguard. so, give up. ”

her proposals certainly sounded more attractive than that ( horrible * ) job but he would never let her win.

did he really seem so unkind? yet he was putting up with all that drama for a movie . . .

“ hey, i’m still kind. ” a finger was now pointing at the girl, shaking his head. “ you’re making an 𝘢͟𝘣͟𝘴͟𝘶͟𝘳͟𝘥 request. ”

penelope’s smile faded as fast as it had formed. she crossed her arms, clearly frustrated her charms weren’t working this time.

even more irritating was the way steve was dismissing her devastating issue: not being able to watch her favorite movie after a rough day. ⤸

he huffed, crossing his arms. she was really stubborn &&. was trying to persuade him in every way.

“ you're not going to buy me like this .ᐟ ︎ i would never be a driver, already i have kiddos to chauffeur everywhere. ” huffing out a desperate laugh.

steve froze at that question, letting out a silent sigh. he knew his mom probably wouldn't tell him anything but fear made room in his head.

“ mom will you . . . always love me?
in spite of everything? right? ”

She had to grin at her son.

"So, who's the person?" she asked as she raised an eyebrow. She didn't want to assume automatically.

“ the most important thing is that— you like it. ” blinking when he realized what he had said.

steve no longer had a filter between his brain and his mouth, but he was fine with that, he just wanted to be himself. for once.

rolling his eyes playfully, raising his hands as a sign of surrender. “ caught. ”

steve hadn't even thought about the fact that he had to drive, he was enjoying their. . . date. “ at most we can sleep in the car. ” he chuckled, taking another sip of wine.

his cheeks completely red. another shot. “ the harrington charm is working on you, too. ” teasing him, tilting his head to the side.

it actually looked more like eddie's charm was hitting him but the thing that came best to steve was certainly downplaying.

raising an eyebrow, watching him move his hair from his face. it was really hard for steve to let someone touch ( especially his hair ) so much.

yet he would let eddie do anything. he snorted a laugh when he pointed out how many times he had repeated the same thing.

as soon as steve pulled back slightly, he’s moving one of his hands from his back to brush his the other’s hair off his forehead. it was starting to obstruct the beautiful view that is steve’s face.

“ i don’t think another person has made it so abundantly clear that

stealing a quick but sweet kiss between spoken words. “ what do i want to do ? for now, i’d like to stay here forever but i know it can't be done. ”

wrinkling his nose, a grimace was forming on his lips but he half-closed the latter when he heard that comment.

“ ouh, thank you.

moving that little bit closer again to take the other's lower lip between his teeth, sucking it gently. “ you don't need 𝑡𝘩𝑖𝑠 to kiss me. ”

his brown hues pointed at her blue ones. “ just do it. ” he could feel straight in stomach the desire he still had for him.

a shiver was running down steve's back, his breath still short from the kiss. his hand still held billy's collar.

wow. it had all been so surprisingly good. steve was still realizing it all &. still savoring the taste of the blond, running his tongue between his lips.

if he had pulled away . . . it was only to test his reaction &&. seeking his approval, which came shortly thereafter with his words.

“ are you getting a taste? ” not that steve would have minded, in the end he hadn't even been able to enjoy it properly. damn anxiety.
