Christmas Fun with Steve Harrington

Headcannon for spending a Christmasy day with your boyfriend Steve Harrington <3 

Pairing : Steve Harrington x reader

Warnings : Slight cursing, fluff 

Christmas with Steve has always been anything but boring

You two have been together for close to four years now, this being your fourth Christmas together

However, you’ll never forget one of your very first Christmas memories with Steve ‘The Hair” Harrington

Of course Steve grew up loving the holiday, but due to the constant absence of his parents he never had the fun and loving memories you connected to the special day

You found this out when you two were snuggled up on his couch watching “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” about three weeks before Christmas

He didn’t mean to say anything, embarrassed that his family wasn't very involved with Christmas, but when you were talking about going driving through neighborhoods to see the lights on the houses, he mentioned he had never done that

Of course this surprised you, as all of your friends drove around light looking just like you did

When you asked him about this he simply shrugged saying “I don’t know I just haven’t done a lot of the christmasy shit everyone else around does” without tearing his eyes away from the screen, his arm still lazily thrown over your shoulder

He tried to dismiss it, but you kept pressing the topic, heartbroken about your boyfriend’s lack of christmas fun

And that's when you noticed you didn’t know how you didn’t notice sooner that the living room was barren of christmas decorations. So was the kitchen. And his bedroom. And come to think of it you didn’t remember any festive lights covering the exterior of the house

You quickly sat up straight, resting your hand on Steve’s chest, looking your boyfriend, who was confused at your sudden movement, in the eyes

“Steve.”

“Y/N?”

“We are going to the store. Right. Now.” You grabbed Steve’s hand pulling him up off the couch. Steve made a small noise of confusion, but no sign of protest. He followed you to the front door and you grabbed his keys, tossing them to him once you were outside

“What store are we going to babe?” Steve asked you as he started the car, rushing to turn the heater on to protect you two from the freezing air outside the vehicle

“Melvalds.” You answered, finding a christmas music playing station on the radio

“Okay,” Steve nodded, throwing his arm around the headrest of your seat as he backed out of the driveway. “Why?”

“We’re gonna get some decorations for your house!” You said wiggling your eyebrows before singing along to the christmas song blaring through the radio

Steve suppressed a laugh at your actions he was still smiling widely though and joined you in singing

Once you got to Melvalds you and Steve walked hand in hand through the aisles, the both of you grabbing all sorts of festive goodies

Checking out you two even saw Joyce Byers, who looked surprised at the large amount of items you were putting on the conveyor roll

She wished you both a ‘Merry Christmas’, and you wished her one as well. “Make sure to tell Dustin I said ‘hey’ if all the kids are at your place tonight!” Steve told Mrs. Byers, making you grin and look up sweetly at your boyfriend

Once you got back to Steve’s place, you put a christmas record in the player as Steve began to unload the bags

You spent almost two hours decorating the place, Steve making sure to grab anything with mistletoe, or anything resembling it, and holding it above your two heads, looking at you with his signature puppy dog eyes, practically begging for a kiss

Of course you obliged every time, but that’s not important

After you finished decorating the rooms inside the house, you both decided you weren’t done with christmas yet, so you put on a random movie and began baking cookies

You were both fooling around the entire time

Like the entire time

It’s honestly a miracle you even ended up with cookie dough, Steve throwing flour in your face every two seconds

Not that you were complaining, as every time he did he would kiss some of it right off your cheek

Once the cookies were finally in the oven, the two of you let out a sigh, both realising how tired you were

Steve happily grabbed your hand and spun you around, lifting you up bridal style and throwing you down on the couch, all while you giggled furiously

He joined you on the couch immediately, hugging your frame into his, you both smiling like fools.

“I love you so much baby” He whispered into your neck affectionately as he hugged you tighter.

You laughed a little. “I love you too Steve.” He repositioned himself and looked you in the eyes, still holding you close. “I really mean it. Thank you for doing all of,” He looked around his now festive as hell living room, “this. It means a lot Y/N.” He kissed you softly and layed back down, nuzzling back into your neck

You held his arms tightly and beamed, looking around the house that, once empty of decorations, looked like a true christmas wonderland. “You’re welcome baby. I’m glad we could do this together.”

Steve hummed in response and you both closed your eyes, drifting into a peaceful sleep full of sugar plums and fairies

Your eyes fluttered open as a burning scent filled your nose. Your face contorted into confusion, then panic as you realised you both fell asleep while the cookies were baking

“Steve!” You exclaimed jumping up. He didn’t budge so you hit him with a pillow, getting him to wake up. He looked up at you groggily. “...What?”

 “Fuck Steve the cookies! We forgot!” His eyes widening as he remembered the cookies

“Shit Y/N!”
