Taking Care

Jackie 17, Steven 19, Point Place, Season 7 not exactly AU, kinda OOC but somethings that i imagined them doing off camera

XXX

Steven pulled his El Camino into the long driveway attached to the front of Jackie's house, ever since she moved back in with her mom she wanted him to come over to her house more often. Not that he was complaining, he knew that her mom didn't really care about her so she wouldn't came barging in when they didn't have any clothes on and he didn't have to worry about their idiot friends coming into the basement ruining their talks and naps they took together. He would never tell anyone about most of the things they did together mainly because they wouldn't understand and because it was kind of embarrassing for him considering that he had a reputation to uphold. And contrary to popular belief they did enjoy doing things together that did not always include doing it. One of those things were taking naps together. When Jackie came by the basement after school and Steven was already off from work they would cuddle together on his tiny cot and she would begin to nod off, exhausted after school, cheer practice, and pretending to be friends with those bitches. Together they would start out talking and listening to music but eventually she would have her legs wrapped around his waist and Steven's head would be resting on top of hers as they slumbered.

When he finally made it to the end, he cut off the car and hopped out. Steven walked up to the front door knocking three times. When he first started coming over he expected Jackie or Pam to answer the door but he soon learned that their maid, Rosa, always would. "Hello Mr. Steven, Miss. Jackie is upstairs in her room."

"Okay thanks Rosa."

He never exchanged more than a few words but he had noticed that Jackie was a lot kinder towards her considering how she treated her help in the past.

Steven made his way up the grand staircase and down a long corridor, walked to the second door on the right and pushed it open a bit, lightly wrapping his knuckles against the door.

"Hey Jacks, great you're not listening to that disco crap all the time, this is much better."

Since they started dating Jackie started developing some of Hyde's taste and traits. She became more zen, thought more deeply about things, read more books, wore some of his t-shirts, and listened to better music.

"Well hello to you too Steven, and shut up i still love ABBA, i'm just broadening my horizons."

She propped herself up on her knees from her position on the bed as Steven bent down to kiss her. It was supposed to be quick and easy but when he tried to pull away Jackie used her grip on his waist to pull him back into her, gliding her tongue along his bottom lip then gently biting it.

"What was that for?" he asked when he pulled away, a dazed and amused smirk graced his lips.

"Nothing in particular i just missed you."

"Well i'm happy to see you too."

"Okay well i have to start getting ready for the valentines dance tomorrow so you can mess around with the stuff on my desk."

Jackie started to make her way towards the large bathroom attached to her room, across from her closet.

"Wait Jackie what the hell are you talking about? The dance isn't until tomorrow and i'm not letting you put any of that God-awful hair spray in my hair again."

"If you paid attention to anything i said you would know that if you want to look good for the dance, which i already do but i need to look even better than normal this time, that you need to start the night before so you wake up with smooth legs. glowing skin, and flawless hair." she explained.

Steven looked at her with a mixture of being pissed off and confusion marring his features.

"Whatever you say princess"

"Stop calling me that and i'm going downstairs to get some food, you want some?"

"Nah i'm good"

With that she walked downstairs, as she left Hyde admired her body, not just in a lustful way because God knows she was sexy, but the way her hair fell in curls around her shoulders, how he knew exactly the way they fit together on his cot, all the dips and grooves on her skin, every freckle, scar, mole, and texture there was on her. He admired her narrow shoulders, lush hips, and the cinch of her waist. He knew what they felt like and was proud to call her his even if you wouldn't admit it.

As if he materialized her with his drifting thoughts, Jackie reappeared in the doorway with a turkey sandwich and two bottles of Coca-Cola.

"I brought you one too because i didn't want you to drink mine."

"Thanks" Steven replied as he took it out her hand. "But only you do that, like last week when we went to the hub and you said you didn't want anything but you proceeded to eat nearly all my french fries."

"Hey, i said i was sorry" she giggled

Jackie made her way to the bathroom as she pulled all the products she would need to start getting ready. She began to take off her makeup, change into her shorts and t-shirt, and washed her face. Jackie reached for her newest addition to her beauty regimine, a brand new face mask. The mask promised to give flawless glowing skin with just one use. Jackie was excited to try it out, after 3 attempts to open the jar, she gave up and handed it to Steven who was able to open it with just one twist.

"I loosened it up for you, you're not that strong" She teased

"Oh shut up just admit that you are weak and go back to putting crap on your face."

"Hey!" Jackie shrieked as she made her way back into the bathroom.

She went back to pulling things out cabinets, and inspecting her mask. Suddenly she had a great idea, well a great idea for her not exactly Steven.

"Steven" her shrill voice rang out

Oh no he thought, he knew exactly what that voice meant. She would ask him to do something stupid or ridiculous, he would put up a fight but ultimately lose because she had a way he had yet to figure out that could make him agree to a lot of things he thought he never would.

"Steven" she called again, damn

He trotted into the bathroom to find Jackie in her pajamas and holding out the open mask "What?"

Instead of answering Jacke set down the container, and gave him that million dollar beauty queen smile. He didn't budge though, looking down at her with a look of annoyance and disinterest. She tried again tilting her head to the side, her hands clasped behind her back as she pushed up on the balls of her feet, trying to get closer to his face. Steven still hadn't moved.

'Do you want to do this with me?" Jackie asked in her cutest voice hoping that it would sway him to say yes

"No"

"Please"

"No"

"Please, please, please, please, please, please, pleeeeeeaaaaaassssssseeeee."

"No"

Finally Jackie tried something else. She tossed her hair over her shoulder, grabbing him by the waist and looking up at him she said "please, I'll let you take a shower with me"

Hyde drew in a deep breath, his expression still unchanged, his resolve breaking. "Fine, but don't ask me for anything else this week, i'm not giving you my fries or buying you any magazines and I am most definitely not giving you my sweatshirt because you wouldn't listen to me when I told you to bring one."

"Okay" Jackie agreed excitedly knowing she wasn't going to keep that promise.

Steven found out that "doing this" with her was more than watching her put a bunch of shit on her face and body while he sat on the counter admiring her ass.

This turned out to be a total of three different types of mask that he hadn't known existed. First she made him wash his face and put on some goop that claimed it would cure cancer, end world hunger, and give money to the poor. "Jackie you already look great, i don't know why you put this shit on i mean it's just the government and corporate trying to get you to believe that you need this so that you keep buying into to the capitalist system." Hyde complained as she spread the cream around his face. "Don't get any of that in my beard, i think i'm going to grow it out again." So here he sat with grey sweatpants on a green mask on his face, some weird shit on his lips that according to Jackie would make his lips soft and would make her want to kiss him more, with her only adding things on to him. Now he sat on the stool in front of the mirror in her bathroom while she stood in front of him running her fingers through his hair while she worked some type of oil into it. Even the nice grip he had on her hips couldn't keep him still anymore. "Okay Jacks what the hell are you putting in my hair, you better not mess up my fro."

"Steven shut up and stop worrying, its coconut oil, it makes your hair really soft and shiny so when you wash it out your hair won't be all frizzy and angry looking."

He had often wondered how she kept her hair so soft, shiny and smooth. Now that he thought about it her hair did smell like coconuts and vanilla. He assumed it was just her shampoo but he never thought about her using much of anything else. "Well if it works why don't you put it in after you shampoo?"

"Because it will make my hair look greasy, so this way if i put it in now and shampoo it out then i will still get the benefits with none of the side effects." Jackie explained in a duh voice.

"This better be over soon because my face itches and you promised me a shower."

"Stop fidgeting and complaining you just have to let this sit in your hair for 10 more minutes and i haven't forgotten about taking a shower."

"Great because i'm ready for this to be over"

"Okay what is this you're doing now?" picking up the bottle of the stuff she put in his hair

"It's called conditioner and it also helps your hair to not be frizzy and you need all the help you can get."

Here Steven Hyde was in the shower with a naked girl who never looked better to him with all the hot steamy water running down her body, but that image was quickly being ruined by said naked girl bossing him around. Jackie was currently pressing him into the back wall of the shower forcing some product on him, again. This was not the type of pressed into the shower wall he thought they would be doing. While he did like her naked body against his he did not think she would be bossing him around the whole time they were together or he would have never agreed to this.

"Alright stop being a baby i'm finished" She finally announced putting an end to his torture.

"Thank God" Hyde muttered under his breath as he stepped under the spray of the water to rinse whatever potion she had put on him.

"Now, it's right time that we take a proper shower together." he declared as he gripped her bottom pushing up a little so the she would hop up onto him and wrap her legs around his waist.

"Steven" Jackie giggled as he pressed his lips against hers then trailing them down to her neck and collar bones.

When he came back to her mouth he grinned into the next kiss, hearing the excited shout of his name and backed her against the shower wall.
