[she's doing her best to push through the awkwardness, so she smiles at him and heads in to grab seats for them both. near the back, if only to put a little distance between herself and the inevitable action scenes.

he won't have trouble finding her - there aren't many other people in seats.]

[bigboyvibes]

[Thankfully it doesn't take him long to get through the line. It makes him a bit uneasy to know that Nancy could be sitting in the theater alone.

Thank you trauma of the Upside Down. Once he gets their snacks and drinks, he heads to the designated theater. It doesn't take long to spot her.]

Shit. Is pretty dead, huh?

[whatwestarted]

[nancy actually finds herself grateful for the moment of silence, for the chance to reset, and she smiles at him as he seats himself next to her.]

I didn't check the reviews.

[she's reaching for the popcorn.]

[bigboyvibes]

Figured at least some people would be here to get in a little makeout session.

[Or maybe that's the Steve Harrington way? He settles himself into the seat beside her before he hands over the popcorn.]

One large popcorn with extra butter.

[whatwestarted]

In these seats? Do the armrests even move up?

[this is easier in the dark.]

[bigboyvibes]

You find ways to make it work.

[Maybe that was just a Steve Harrington tactic too but he's definitely had his share of moving makeouts and getting handsy.]

[whatwestarted]

[she starts to say something and then laughs, mortified.]

Like making out in the school bathroom. You're such a bad influence.

[bigboyvibes]

[He fixes her with a look.]

You seemed pretty damn into it.

[whatwestarted]

[she grins sheepishly over at him as the previews start.]

I was.

[bigboyvibes]

I know.

[Steve prides himself on his kissing abilities and he's well aware that he's damn good at it.]

[whatwestarted]

Doesn't mean you were a good influence.

[she's teasing, leaning in to go for another handful of popcorn.]

[bigboyvibes]

[He's going to accept that challenge Nancy Wheeler and lean over the seat a bit so that he could whisper.]

You never stopped me.

[whatwestarted]

[she wrinkles her nose at him, surprised by how close they are when he leans.]

Course I didn't. Why would I?

[bigboyvibes]

Exactly my point.

[He gives her a cocky little smile at that.]

[whatwestarted]

And Mom definitely thinks that's what we're here to do again. Oh my God.

[bigboyvibes]

Your mom thinks I'm going to fill you up in a theater?

[He can't help but laugh at that. Nancy wasn't his girlfriend so fooling around wasn't in the agenda.]

[whatwestarted]

Steve!

[it's a hushed, hissed objection, but there's a laugh in it.]

You don't have to be gross about it.

[bigboyvibes]

What's gross about it?

[They've fooled around plenty of times when they were together. Just not in an actual theater]

[whatwestarted]

Just the way you said it.

[she's trying not to seem embarrassed.]

[bigboyvibes]

I thought that was being pretty tame honestly.

[He gives a small shrug of his shoulders.]

[whatwestarted]

You've got an interesting take on tame.

[but the movie begins, and she lapses into silence.]

[bigboyvibes]

I could have been more vulgar.

[He mutters lowly before his attention is turned to the screen as the room goes darker and the movie begins.]

[whatwestarted]

[nancy shifts to sit on her leg so that she can lean a little closer to steve, muttering-]

Oh, are you going to throw me over your shoulder?

[bigboyvibes]

[So she's back to that? He moves to lean a little closer himself, elbow resting along the arm rest.]

Still think I can't?

[whatwestarted]

[there's almost no one to worry about bothering with her whispering - that's how nancy justifies this.]

Not without throwing out your back.
