you're lucky you're cute, harrington.

[yeahitsme]

I AM. (see previous points about hair.) also am lucky I'm not the only cute one because someone has to share in the daily struggle of being cute.

[polemical]

are you trying to say that I'M cute, because i have never been called cute a day in my life.

[ Not even remotely true. Eddie's got the biggest, saddest brown eyes in Hawkins. ]

[yeahitsme]

thanks for confirming no one in Hawkins knows how to use their eyes, this explains SO MUCH wow

[polemical]

are you including yourself in that tally, because you've looked at me plenty and this is the first time you've called me cute.

[yeahitsme]

that or I'm slacking more than I thought 😮‍💨

I'm blaming the entire face injury I am rocking right now for either of those

[polemical]

when the swelling goes down you can look at me all you like, big boy. we'll see if you still think i'm cute after all that.

[yeahitsme]

Just take a compliment though, it's yours, I put it in a cute little package even. 🎁 <- like that

But I will, to both, believe it

[polemical]

you're fucking ridiculous.

[ She is reluctantly charmed even if she doesn't want to admit it. ]

[yeahitsme]

yes. I also respond to "dingus", just ask Robin. Nancy dubbed me an "idiot" a whiiile back too so I have that title also. I'm collecting them.

[polemical]

you're not an idiot, steve.

[ She's heard Dustin call Steve stupid enough that it's starting to bother her just to listen to it; she can't imagine how Steve feels to have it directed at him all the time. ]

do you occasionally do idiotic things? yes. but you're not an idiot.

[yeahitsme]

Not that I don't appreciate the vote of confidence, but.

But: all of those choices not made would make my life a lot less of a hot mess than it has been. So that definitely qualifies.😵‍💫🥴

[polemical]

i think if we're going to throw choices-stones we should move out of our respective glass houses. because i'm pretty sure i've made some incredibly idiotic choices of my own over the years.

[yeahitsme]

go team??? clearly this calls for tacky matching friendship bracelets or some shit

[polemical]

baby i will absolutely wear matching friendship bracelets with you as long as i get to choose them and you get absolutely no veto power.

[yeahitsme]

that sounds terrifying.


I'm in

[polemical]

it's this can-do attitude of yours that's gonna get me to make an honest man of you one day, harrington. brace yourself.

[yeahitsme]

why would I brace myself when I have far more experience getting absolutely knocked on my ass?

[polemical]

you gonna let me bowl you over, hot stuff?

[yeahitsme]

because it's you, yes

[polemical]

you sweet-talker.

but you gotta try harder than that, sunshine, i'm not like all the other girls you've charmed in your life.
i'm much worse.

[yeahitsme]

usually my trying harder is finding an excuse to remove my shirt, does that work? (probably not but I'm asking anyway)

[polemical]

steve i just about swallowed my tongue when you threw your sweater at me in that boat. when i tell you it works, i'm underselling it by a lot.

[yeahitsme]

so you're saying I also should have removed my pants.

damn it past me.

[stEVE]

[polemical]

that would have fucking bodied me out of my panic attack, you're right.

though... maybe we should test your theory. just to be safe.

you know. scientific method and all that.
