A/N: This was originally posted on my tumblr (in second person, but as ffn doesn't allow this I made it third), but I saw how little there was about my bby Steve Harrington here so thought I'd try to contribute. I hope you enjoy!

P.S. The format is awful bc ffn isn't made to support headcanons, but I did my best!

Headcanons: meeting her


- He immediately thought she was attractive, but felt a little too nervous to do anything, meaning he rambled a lot when she met him

- While he was over Nancy and 100% okay with her dating Jonathan, his subconscious still made him see Jonathan as some sort of threat

- And the fact that she was Jonathan's friend made him feel like he'd already lost her to him before even meeting her

- (he told her all this on the night she first said she loved him, 7 months into their relationship)

- He spent a lot of time trying to make her laugh

- By the end of the day she'd first met him he'd told her so many stories she felt as though she knew him better than his own mother did

- (which she later found out was quite the possibility considering his parents were never around)

- He had a light kind of humour, which contrasted drastically with her dry sarcasm, but not in a bad way - it actually meant that they found each other hilarious

- She'd heard of Steve before (both good things and bad) but had never actually met him as she'd moved away from Hawkins as an adolescent

- So at first all she had to go off of was the things Jonathan had told her over the phone

- And while he'd been telling her they were friends as of late and that he'd changed, she still held a little resentment about the camera incident

- (it had cost her a damn lot of money to get that for Jonathan's 16th birthday)

- This meant she was probably a little cold to Steve at first, despite the fact that her mind was racing with how gorgeous this goddamn boy was

- This just seemed to make him more determined to get her to like him, so he was overly nice to her

- Right up to the point that she had to tell him to "shut the fuck up before I get rotten teeth and diabetes"

- She'd never seen anyone react so positively to her sharp tongue, and she couldn't help but crack a genuine smile - the first one he'd seen, and he was determined not to let it be the last.

- His determination paid off.


I do take requests, for both headcanons and imagines/oneshots over on my tumblr (daryldamnson), but it's fine if anyone wants to send them in here too.
