A/N: Hi guys! So I took a little break as I uploaded two chapters right after one another and I'm trying not to get too burnt out writing this. So I don't know when the next chapter will be (I still have to decide on what it's going to be. Either DnD or meeting the parents). I hope you enjoy! :)

Tonight I had planned a sleepover with Max and El. I had invited Dawn and Robin as well and they planned on stopping by later. Steve made plans to have a sleepover with the boys at his house (mostly because of his pool).

I had stocked up on junk food and ordered us a pizza for us to eat. Currently we were rocking out to music and reading some of Max's comic books. Whenever Dawn and Robin got here, we planned on watching a movie.

"Are you going to call Steve later?" Max asked,
"Yeah." I looked up at her, "Why? Do you want me to leave the room?" I asked her,

"No." She shook her head,
"What's on your mind then?" I asked her,
"Have you told Steve that you love him?" She asked,
"Uhm, no." I scratched my head, "Why?" I asked her,
"I just wanted to know when you should say it." She told me,
"When you feel that it's the right time." I shrugged, "Why are you thinking of telling Lucas?" I asked her
"Maybe." Max shrugged before looking over to El,

"I wanted to know." She told me. I nodded my head,
"Well when you feel that it's the right time, tell Mike." I smiled
"So do you love Steve?" El asked. I felt my face heat up at the question,
"She does." Max looked to her friend and then back to me, "I see the way you look at him. It was the same way mom used to look at dad." She told me. I frowned at that last statement, "But I don't think you guys are gonna-"
"I know Max." I smiled, "Speaking of Dad, do you wanna go visit him before school starts?" I asked her. I watched her think,
"You think he's gonna want to see us?" She asked. I shrugged,
"Well, whether he does or doesn't, do you want to go back home for a weekend?" I asked her. She nodded, "I'll work out the details and talk to mom." I stretched
"So are you going to call Steve and tell him?" El asked. I bit my lip,
"Yeah, I think I will." I nodded before getting up and going to the phone.

My heart was pounding as the phone was ringing, if Steve didn't answer I could always try again later. When I heard the phone pick up I took a deep breath in,
"Hey Stevie." I greeted,
"Hey, Ty. How's your night going?" He asked,
"Great! We were reading through some of Max's comic books while we wait for Dawn and Robin to get here, so we can watch a movie." I twirled the phone cord with my finger, "How's it going with the boys?" I asked him
"Great for the most part." He sighed, "The boys keep asking me for advice." he sighed. I laughed as I could tell he was tired of asking questions
"Why aren't you more excited? I thought you were the best at giving advice." I teased him,
"Shut up, Mayfield." He huffed,
"Too bad you can't make me." I smirked before there was yelling in the background,
"Yeah! Hold on a second." Steve yelled, "I'll talk to you tomorrow." He spoke,
"Okay." I paused and chewed my bottom lip as I was nervous of what I was going to say next, "Before you hang up I wanna tell you something." I started
"What's up?" He asked,
"I love you." I told him. There was a moment of silence and I started to panic. Maybe I should have waited to tell him those words…
"I love you too, Tyler." He said
"Night, Stevie." I hung up the phone and I was smiling from ear to ear.

Soon the doorbell rang and that had to be Dawn and Robin. I opened the door to see Dawn and Robin with more pizza and what looked to be everything we needed to make sundaes.

"How was going out?" I asked as I grabbed the bag that had the ice cream in it,
"It was fun." Dawn smiled,
"Maybe for you." I could tell Robin was rolling her eyes, "Ever since you and Steve got together, Dawn's convinced that she can get me a girlfriend." Robin complained,
"Well, has it been working?" I asked her,
"No." Robin shook her head,
"You need to be more positive about finding a girlfriend." Dawn crossed her arms
"Did you tell Steve?" Max asked as she and El came into the kitchen
"Tell Steve what?" Dawn asked
"That she loves him." El answered. I watched Dawn's eyes go wide with excitement.
"You told him that you love him?!" She exclaimed,

"Yeah." I shrugged nonchalantly
"Did he say it back?" Dawn asked,
"Of course he did." I rolled my eyes before Dawn came over and hugged me.
"We need to celebrate!" She smiled, "We should go spy on the boys." She smirked. I sighed,
"Only if we can play a prank on them." Max told Dawn
"Deal." She smirked as she grabbed a slice of pizza.

Dawn dragged me to her car as I wanted to stay home and have a night in with the girls. Dawn parked a house away so her car wouldn't be seen. The plan was to sit in the bushes behind Steve's house and to watch the boys with snacks. Steve was sitting on a pool chair as the boys were swimming in the pool.

"So you finally told Tyler that you love her?" Dustin asked,
"Yeah." Steve nodded,

"Did she say it back?" Mike asked

"Well she said it first." He scratched the back of his head

"She said it before you?" Lucas asked

"Yeah? So what?" Steve crossed his arms

"I thought you were this ladies man." Lucas teased. I smirked as it was kind of funny that the boys were giving Steve a hard time

"You didn't even kiss her first. She's been making a lot of the first moves." Dustin added

"I asked her out first." He defended

"After she kissed you." Lucas spoke.

At this point I was covering my mouth so I couldn't give away our position as I was laughing so hard.
"Such a dingus." Robin whispered

"Poor Steve." I whispered as my laughter subsided. Maybe spying on the boys wasn't a bad idea after all.

"What does it matter?" Steve got up, "Tyler's different, okay? She's absolutely amazing and I don't care if she made the first moves. It makes me love her even more." He looked to the boys
"He's so in love with you." Dawn nudged me

"Sorry to break up this moment but can we scare the boys or something?" Max whispered,
"I know where the spare key is. Let's move some things around." I smirked as I started to sneak towards the front of the house. I grabbed the spare key and opened the door before placing it back. I made sure the front door was locked so they wouldn't think that someone came into the house.

As we looked around the living room, I saw a DnD game in progress, pizza boxes, junk food and a movie on top of the VHS. I grabbed the pizza boxes and moved them to the kitchen, avoiding the windows and making sure no one was going to come inside to see me walking down the hall. I took a slice of pizza before I heard laughter. Shit. Hopefully the girls found places to hide as I knew I wouldn't make it without being seen. I ducked down behind the island so they wouldn't see me when they were coming inside. The boys were talking about their DnD campaign and as I listened it sounded like they were going into the living room.

"Steve where's the pizza?" I heard Dustin asked,
"Who touched the board?" I heard Will ask,
"I probably put it in the kitchen. I'll get it." I heard his footsteps come towards the kitchen. I held my breath as he was on the other side of the island and if he moved in my direction, I would have to move in the opposite direction.
"Huh." I heard him speak as he opened the box to grab a slice, "Do we need more plates?" I heard Steve yell. There was a collective 'yeah' from the boys before I could hear them accuse each other of messing with the board and switching the movie. I moved as fast as I could to avoid Steve seeing me.
"Steve, did you touch anything?" I heard Dustin yell
"No." He called back before leaving the kitchen without the plates. I only had probably a minute or two to find a better hiding spot. I turned to the cupboard by the sink that I could fit in. Last time I checked, there wasn't a whole lot of things in the cabinet and hopefully I could remain hidden until the girls scared them. I quietly moved into the space before Steve came back. The only thing was when I shifted inside, my knee hit the door. I held my breath in hopes Steve wouldn't investigate but I could tell he grabbed the handle. I prepared to grab him and make sure he wouldn't give away our position.

When he opened the cabinet I did my best to silently kiss him as I got out of the cabinet. He kissed me back as I straddled him. When I pulled away I brought my finger to my lips,

"Ty, what are you doing here?" He whispered,

"The girls wanted to scare the boys." I shrugged,

"Well now I can make you shut up." He spoke and I saw the lustful look in his eyes,
"And you can show me how much you love me." I leaned in before I heard screams from the boys. That meant the girls made their move, "Maybe later." I told him as I started to get up before Steve pulled me down to kiss me again.
"Tyler, you can come out now." I heard Max yell. I pulled away before getting up and made my way to the living room.
"Were you in on this Steve?" Dustin asked,
"Steve had nothing to with this." I shook my head, "He found me so I had to keep him quiet until this girls made their move." I shrugged before I saw Dawn's look, "That didn't happen." I looked to her as I could tell that she thought I had done something sexual to keep Steve quiet,
"Tyler's not really good about being quiet." Steve spoke, I turned to him with wide eyes, "I-I meant with her trying to hide in the cabinet." He blurted out fast as he realized what he had said.
"Gross." I heard Max say as I was totally mortified,
"I definitely don't want to hear this." Robin spoke,
"I second that." Lucas added
"How about we just watch a movie?" I asked as I didn't look at anyone
"That sounds fun." Dawn said before making herself at home.

Steve and I were cuddling on the floor when I squeezed his thigh. He looked at me when I squeezed it again before I got up. I made my way down to his pool chairs and made myself comfortable. Hopefully he would understand that I wanted him to follow me a few minutes after I left. I heard footsteps and I looked behind me to see Steve.
"Harrington." I smirked as he came and sat down on the same pool chair I was sitting on.
"Mayfield." He smirked before he leaned in and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him as close to me as much as I could. I pulled away when I was out of breath,
"I can't believe you said that in front of everyone." I told him,
"I mean, it's not like it isn't true." He shrugged. I looked at him, "But that was embarrassing." He added

"Well I think I know of one way that you can make it up to me." I bit my lip and as Steve leaned in to kiss me again, I stopped him. "Everyone is going to know that we both ditched watching the movie to be alone." I started, "If they come looking for us, I'd rather not scar them for life." I told him.
"You have a point." He sighed as he rested his arms on my legs,
"I had asked Max if she wanted to travel back home before school starts." I changed the subject,
"What did she say?" Steve asked as he knew that towards the end of my parent's divorce, our father became very forgetful when we went to visit him.
"Yes. I just don't know how I'm going to bring it up to mom and Neil." I rolled my eyes, "And if I'm going to drive there or fly." I looked down at my hands,
"You think your mom and Neil are going to say no?" He asked,
"Yeah." I nodded, "Especially with how things ended between them and my dad being careless." I looked at Steve as he grabbed my hands, "But I think a little trip back home will help and hopefully she won't think about what happened for a weekend." I explained to him,
"Well, if they don't say yes. I'll personally drive you down there." He joked to make me feel better. His joke did spark an idea in my head,
"You're going to come to dinner with my mom and Neil, and I'll tell them then." I told him, "And maybe add that we want to go home for my dad to meet you." My eyes lit up,
"Are you serious?" Steve asked me,
"Yeah…" I looked down at my lap, "Does it sound stupid?" I asked him,

"No!" He exclaimed, "I just didn't want to take away from your weekend away with Max." Steve made me look at him,
"Well, I'd talk to her about it first." I told him, "And Max wouldn't really be the third wheel. You would be the third wheel." I smirked as it was true whenever Max and I were with Steve
"Wow." He brought his hand over his heart, "That hurts, Ty." He acted hurt. I laughed as I pushed him again.

I had talked with Steve about some old stories from back home as we looked up at the stars as we laid down on the pavement. Steve had gotten towels and some small throw pillows from the pool house so we could be comfortable. At one point we saw a shooting star and I had wished for everything to be alright again and to be with Steve for a long time.

"Hey lovebirds!" I heard Dawn call, "The girls are getting tired and want to know when we're going back home." She added
"In like two minutes?" I sat up and looked to her,
"And we can make sundaes?" Dawn asked. I nodded my head,
"Let's go, Harrington." I poked him before getting up.

Dawn had pulled up the car to Steve's front lawn while I was saying my goodbyes to Steve. We were making out pretty heavily until Dawn beeped the horn,
"Those sundaes aren't going to make themselves!" She called,
"You guys can suck face tomorrow." Max called. I pulled away and glared at the car,
"You act like you're never going to see dingus again." Robin shrugged. I huffed before I looked back to Steve,
"I love you, Steve Harrington." I smiled at him,
"And I love you, Tyler Mayfield." He put his hand to my cheek before I gave him one final kiss.
