So do it.

[He's not going to stop her.]

[whatwestarted]

But if you want to try again, when I do.

[bigboyvibes]

Let's not worry about that right now.

[She needs to do some healing on her own first.]

[whatwestarted]

I mean it.

[but she finally deflates slightly, pulling open the door and dropping into the passenger's seat.]

[bigboyvibes]

Let's get you home.

[He mutters lowly as he moves to get in himself.]

Don't want your mother sending all of fucking Hawkins to track me down.

[whatwestarted]

She won't.

[muttered as she buckles herself in.]

[bigboyvibes]

That will be a first.

[He mutters back lowly.]

[whatwestarted]

[she sinks a little in her seat, frustrated.]

How do I make you believe how I felt about you?

[bigboyvibes]

You don't have too.

[He's accepted the fact that he just wasn't enough for her. That weren't as perfect as he thought and thats fine.]

[whatwestarted]

I want to.

[she grips her hands into uncomfortable fists in her lap.]

It's important to me.

[bigboyvibes]

Nancy, I swear it's fine. Alright? It is.

[And he wants her to believe him when he says it.]

[whatwestarted]

I loved you, Steve. You were the first guy I ever loved.

[bigboyvibes]

[He doesn't want to get into another argument about their failed relationship because he knows it's just going to upset her. That's the last thing he wants.

So he remains silent.]

[whatwestarted]

[she sinks a little more into the seat, uncomfortable.]

Well. The movie was nice, at least.

[bigboyvibes]

Yeah.

[Well, the scenes he actually watched anyway.]

[whatwestarted]

[she glances at him, looks like she wants to say something else, and then simply lapses into silence until he arrives at her home.]

[bigboyvibes]

[He stops his car slowly once they arrive back at her place. Hopefully her mom won't be in a frenzy.]

[whatwestarted]

[there's a lone light on shining through the living room window, and nancy flips sun visor open so she can check her hair and lipstick in the mirror. she sighs, grabbing her purse and glancing at him again.]

Let me know, alright? If you want to hang out again.

[bigboyvibes]

[Hopefully her mom doesn't think the worst but then again. He gives a small nod of his head, his eyes watching her every move.]

Sure.

[whatwestarted]

[she stares back at him, her eyes flicking down briefly to his mouth, before she abruptly pushes the car door open and climbs out.]

Get home safe, Steve.

[bigboyvibes]

You good?

[He mutters low as she dashes to get out of the car.]

[whatwestarted]

[she lingers for a moment, then shakes her head no.]

I'll get there.

[bigboyvibes]

[He knows he should just leave it at that but this is Nancy.

And he cares too much.]

Anything I can do?

[whatwestarted]

Give me a goodbye kiss.

[because, really - she's going to try to clear her head after this. put herself on the best path forward.]

[bigboyvibes]

[That he could do at least. He shuts off the engine to his car and moves to get out. He rounds the side and walks up to where Nancy is standing.

Hopefully no one is spying on them.

Screw it.

He dips his head down to gently press his lips against her own. ]
