Code 13!! (Stranger Things)

Steve x Reader

Pov: sometimes it's easier to use code instead of words. When in danger it's better to signal than shout.

You were leaning against your door praying your drunk father doesn't come barging in. It was 11 pm and you had heard nothing but non-stop shouting erupting from your pissed-off parents, it was getting scary as plates and glasses were knocked over. Smashed glass could be heard everywhere.

At first, you thought you could handle the noise as it wasn't uncommon but you froze in fear when you heard your name mentioned in the argument. Immiedirrty your mind reverted back to when had interrupted a fight and got smacked in the face by your intoxicated father.

You covered your mouth with your hand holding back the sobs that wracked your body, sliding down the door you grabbed the landline sitting on your bedside table and called the one person who could help.

Tears streamed down your cheeks as each unanswered ring sliced through your hope until it was received by the groggy voice of Steve on the other side. "Y/n what do you want it's like 11:30 pm" he groaned but suddenly cut himself when he heard your muffled sob. "Y/n what's happening, what's wrong" fear began to rise in him, knowing how your house works all the sleep that resided in his body mere seconds ago had completely gone.

"Steve, code 13, Please code 13" once the numbers left your mouth immediately Steve sprung into action getting dressed and spriting out of his empty house. His mind was racing thinking about all that could happen if he didn't get to your fast enough. 

"Y/n I'm on my way just hang in there" his voice brought some comfort as the dial tone sounded but when something could be heard being thrown across the room, you become overwhelmed, and quickly all the air escaped your lungs making it impossible to breather. Your ribcage was pushing against your lungs suffocating them.

Meanwhile, Steve was frantically driving through the abandoned streets, the stress of the situation making him pull on his hair.  Silently pulling into your driveway, Steve sprinted round to the back of your house climbing up your house into your bedroom. 

What he saw shattered his heart, you were almost gasping on the floor sobbing into your knees. Steve cautiously approached you but when he touched your arm but you aggressively pulled it away terrified by the feeling of being touched.

But when your eyes locked with his, you sobbed in relief that you were safe. "Y/n I need you to breathe, just inhale and exhale" you tried to follow his instructs but it wasn't working. Panic begins filling your chest.

"Just squeeze my hand and breath in, then squeeze again and breathe out" he cautiously took your hand in his and squeezed it gently, you inhaled when you felt the pressure on your hand he squeezed again and you exhaled. 

You both did the routine for a while, eventually, you took over the hand squeezing. Once your bearing had returned to you, Steve once again locked eyes with yours, almost getting lost in the woodland color of them.

You basically hurled yourself at him wrapping your arms around his neck, breathing in his scent. Steve wrapped his arms around your back pulling you impossibly closer. The yelling downstairs and occasionally crashing noise made you jump in his hold and he had had enough of it.

"Cmon, let go to my house" you nod silently keeping your head low as he guided you out the window and to his car. The whole journey to his house was silent, all you did was keep replating the events that led to the terrifying argument.

You hadn't noticed how deep you were buried in your thoughts until Steve had to shake you to get your attention. "Do you wanna go inside?" he asked "Uhmm yeah, thank you Steve you really are the best" you smiled at him and he smiled back. 

He lead you inside and then proceeded to insist you have his bed which you refused, this went back and forth until you compromised on sleeping in the same bed. "Do you have like any spare shirts I could wear, sorry I didn't bring anything else" you blushed and felt silly for leaving unprepared.

"Of course hang on let me get you some" You watched as Steve ran into his wardrobe and walked out with a t-shirt, yellow sweatshirt, and black shorts, "Y'know just in case you get cold" you laughed at his innocent thoughts, he smiled back at you before going to get change in the bath room.

YOu slipped on the clothes Steve gave you, they smelt of him making your stomach flutter. By the time Steve had got out of the bathroom you were already in his bed. He had to admit you looked adorable wearing hid sweatshirt. 

Once getting in himself he stared at you but only noticed the glassy and distant look in your eyes. He cupped your cheek making you look t him. "Y/n what's wrong, talk to me please" you sighed and your eyes began to fill with tears.

"It's my fault" he looked at you astonished but you didn't let him say anything. "If I hadn't been born they would have no reason to fight, they would have split ages ago which is what they would have done if it wasn't from me" you looked away as a few tears escaped. 

Stever wipes the tears with the pad of his thumb. "Y/n don't ever think that, I mean what would I do if I hadn't met you? You made me a better person and I couldn't ask for one without you. You're a beacon of hope for so many people but your parents are just too dumb to realize what a blessing you are" you looked at Steve in news, suddenly you leaned forward and kissed him. 

At first, Steve was shocked but the quickly kissed you back increasing the force of the kiss. After a minute you pulled back gasping. "I love you Steve Harrington" he smiled and stroked the hair out of your face. "I love you more y/n, forever and always" he kissed you again then lay on his back.

YOu shuffled over playing your head on his chest listening to his stead heart rate. Your eyes began to close and eventually, you fell into a peaceful slumber to Steve kissing your forehead goodnight. For a moment the world was perfect.
