Summary
It’s the middle of the night, a red glow is filtering through the curtains, and Nancy once again finds herself naked in Steve Harrington’s bed, watching him leave.
He’s sat at the end of the mattress, leaning to pull on his discarded socks, his shirt still missing in the rubble of the evening’s activities. If he knows she’s awake, he doesn’t acknowledge it, which leaves Nancy to stare at the expanse of his back- at the freckles she can spot even in the dark, and the angry marks she’s left against his shoulder blades.
The sight isn’t unfamiliar.Steve never sticks around for long these days. And wishing he would stay is a solitary, selfish pastime of Nancy’s.
____Post volume 4;
Nancy, Steve, and the complicated ordeal of being in love at the end of the world. -

Summary
“The flirting is a purely business endeavor, Wheeler. I get paid commission for every movie I rent out.” He tosses the copy aside and leans his forearms on the counter.
“Well then you’re making a fortune off me, huh?”
Steve turns his head to the side endearingly. “My most loyal customer.”
Nancy just grins, wincing a bit at the reminder of her recent late night escapades. For the past three weeks since Vecna was defeated, she has spent more time in this store than she’s spent asleep in her own bed. It started with the movies, with needing a distraction. After.. everything, and then the Jonathan thing on top of it all… It’s reasonable to need a distraction, right? But she’s got plenty of movies at home. Mike’s collection of action movies could certainly keep her up for at least a week straight. There’s no need for the constant trips. (If not simply for the company).
(Nancy doesn’t want to think about that).
______After everything, Steve and Nancy slowly fall back together.
(A continuation of the 'stay on the streets of this town' series)

Summary
“Whatever. I don’t care, I just- I thought we were going to have a real conversation-”
“We are,” Jonathan says tiredly. “Whatever it is you want to say just… lay it on me.”
Nancy stares at him for a second, awestruck, before scoffing and looking away. That just pisses Jonathan off more.
(God, she really didn’t think it would go this badly).
“What?” Jonathan prods in frustration. “You’re breaking up with me, right? No need to drag it out, just…”
Nancy feels like she might leave this conversation with her brows permanently stuck together in confusion. Her heart falls into her stomach out of pure shock. “Who said anything about breaking up?”

Summary
Nancy cuts him off with a soft chuckle and a shake of her head, curls falling over her cheek. “No, no you.. You really saved me, Steve.”
Something hot and sharp pierces his chest, filling him to the brim with some weighty emotion he can’t name. It’s uncomfortable in its depth, vast and all-encompassing and a lot like love. He pushes it all aside, swipes a hand through his hair. “Just returning the favor- you follow me into hell, I get you out of it, huh? Quid pro quo, or some shit, right?”
Nancy hums, flopping onto her back. “Or some shit.”
