Okay.

[she glances at him again, watches his profile for a long moment.]

[bigboyvibes]

I promise.

[And this is the type of situation he wouldn't lie to her about.]

[whatwestarted]

I know. I believe you.

[she touches her forehead briefly against his shoulder, then settles back into her seat.]

[bigboyvibes]

[Might as well break the ice, right? She's the one that suggested the hooking up so that has to mean something.

Right?]

Are you wanting too?

[whatwestarted]

[nancy chews on her lower lip again, shrugging one shoulder.] I wouldn't be- opposed.

[bigboyvibes]

You sure it wouldn't bother you? You haven't exactly spoken to me much after the first time.

[And he doesn't want all of this to turn into a huge regret]

[whatwestarted]

I still call you.

[she's only very slightly defensive.]

[bigboyvibes]

[Right.

New approach here.]

Do you regret the first time?

[whatwestarted]

Of course not.

[she shoots another sidelong glance at him, seeming sincere.]

Why would I?

[bigboyvibes]

You could have a million and one reasons. You aren't exactly the hooking up type unless I've missed something over the past year?

[And he isn't sure if she's dating around or what.]

I don't want it all to be a regret, you know? Not after we've tried to repair at least a friendship between us.

[whatwestarted]

I wouldn't have suggested it if I had regrets.

[she hesitates, then drops her hand to lightly rest against his wrist.]

And anyway - you're sure you're not gonna lose, right? So why does it matter what I get if I win?

[bigboyvibes]

Right.

[He's just going to leave it at that and not mention that his own mind had drifted to the exact idea.]

[whatwestarted]

[she'll manage to maintain silence another ten minutes, her hand still gripping his wrist.]

But it was pretty good the last time. I thought, at least.

[bigboyvibes]

Only pretty good?

[It was mind blowing for you Nancy and you know it. Steve Harrington is a professional when it comes to sex]

[whatwestarted]

[she had informed him what felt like ages ago now that she just wanted to chase down a bit the normal teenager experience - whatever that was.]

Mmhmm. Pretty good. If sex is off the table, where does "making out a little in a bad movie" land?

[bigboyvibes]

I was amazing and you know it.

[Typical Steve Harrington cockiness but he knows what he's amazing at.

Christ.

All these options are wonderful but in the back of his mind he knows it could result in their friendship going up in flames.]

Honestly? A little making out could lead to sex in the backseat of my car.

[whatwestarted]

[she sounds a little righteously indignant there.]

I can show self restraint, Steve Harrington.

[bigboyvibes]

You think so?

[So many challenges tonight and Steve is ready to go all in.]

[whatwestarted]

If you think it's a bad idea, then, yeah.

[nancy glances sideways at him.]

We'll just... keep it all above clothes.

[bigboyvibes]

[That's not going to happen but Steve can go along with it if that's what Nancy really wants.]

Alright.

[whatwestarted]

[nancy never quite figured out if the armrests raise up or not, and she bounces her leg a moment, as if trying to figure out the logistics here.]

Cool.

[bigboyvibes]

Come here....

[Might as well get this started and keep the small makeout session at an innocent minimum despite Steve's mind drifting else where.]

[whatwestarted]

[is she using him? he enjoys this too, right? so it's not like she's doing something too awful here. she figures she's pretty enough that it shouldn't be a hardship, at least.

or maybe that's all just rationalizing her own guilt away. regardless, she's pulling her other leg up into the chair with her, giving herself better leverage to lean in and kiss the side of his mouth in the dark.]

[bigboyvibes]

[Is she using him? If so thats some Steve would like to know and why. He also doesn't know why she's wanting to hookup with him again like it's a casual thing between them.

But it's difficult not to give in. It's Nancy.

He turns his head slightly so that he can capture her lips and kiss her softly.]

[whatwestarted]

[she still hasn't quite managed to fully orient herself since her breakup with jonathan. most of the time she's fine, but sometimes, when the worst pangs of loneliness hit, steve is one of the only people she trusts herself with. he's one of the only other people her own age who actually know her.

she lifts her hand to catch his cheek, just sort of holding him there a while.]
