This is an appreciation ❤️ attack!! My gal, my pal, my awesomesauce friendly friend on the other side of the world ❤️ no matter how much cranky I got with work, chatting with you always makes my day better, guuuuurrrrrlll, I adore you to bits ❤️ I'm glad sxf had let me meet you. Throw digital hugs (via the internet) your way. Talk to you later.
My GAL!!
Gurl. You're making me cry. I'll try my best with words:
Whenever we have the chance to talk, I feel less alone in this vast world. The hundreds of kilometers that set us apart mean nothing when we can get to talk about the humane and the divine as if we just got to share a coffee after a busy day.
Take that common, busy day. You're tired. Your client suddenly liked to throw an unexpected deadline and there's more coffee than actual blood running through your veins. You have a lot to complain about, yet you always manage to set that apart and find a kind word for me, a complete stranger, who on top of that, is constantly pushing you to actually complaining and throwing sh*t to the world since it's the only way I can think on to make you feel better.
HOW. HOW DO YOU DO THAT.
Your kindness shows both in your words and in your art. You could just pass from sharing your amazing art, yet you spend some time and effort to make something, a something that won't leave anyone indifferent. Upon seeing your art, I realize that I've been smiling for a while because my cheeks hurt. It makes me smile and brightens my day.
This little Bond licking the camera might not do much justice for what I want to convey, but I refuse to be short on words only. He's a good doggo and likes you, and it makes 2 of us! (well i'm a hooman, but you get the idea)
Let's keep in touch. Thank you for pulling me back to track when I get lost for a while. I'm the worst friend, but please count on me if I can help you in anything. I want to be, at the very least, useful.
A big hug!

Having thoughts of The Party being touchy as all fuck after everything.
Like you cannot enter nor leave any kind of hang out without a hug, high-five, pat, or anything from everyone you were hanging out with.
And then, suddenly, you aren’t able to leave without a kiss or hug of some kind from Steve.
It started after the bullshit that was the Starcourt Mall. The kids were leaving Steve’s house from a DnD session maybe 2 months before the Byers left for Cali.
Dustin was taking forever to pull his shoes on and get out the house to his moms car and everyone was complaining. It was one of those rare times where Steve wasn’t the one carting them all around— they all had their own rides.
Dustin got his shoes on and Steve handed him his bag and— without thinking— pressed a kiss to the top of his hat before waving him out the door.
The rest of the kids are silent until Mike speaks up bitchily “what about us, asshole?”
Steve has no idea what they mean until El points to her head with a grin. Steve deals out head and forehead kisses for everyone and waves them off to their respective rides.
And then it just— sticks. At first it’s with just the kids whenever he sees them. He’ll usually greet them with a hug or an exasperated sigh and then say goodbye with a kiss to their foreheads.
Not even Mike complains. This is the kind of shit he never got while growing up— might as well make the best of it.
And then it migrates to Robin as well, and the Nancy is joining in on the hugs (they’re still too awkward for the kisses but the hugs are enough for now).
And Steve never holds back, not even in public. Again, no one complains.
And that’s how Hellfire finds out about the kissing arrangement (that might be the title of this if I make it an actual fic). They watch as Steve presses a forehead kiss to Mike, Lucas, and Dustin before waving them off and then presses a kiss to Max’s head and giving her a tight hug.
The guys try to make fun of the kids for it but none of them are embarrassed.
“It’s Steve, dude. He’s like a mom.”
“The kisses are actually really comforting.”
“It’s a Party thing.”
And then the fuckery of 1986 and Vecna happens and suddenly Eddie’s in on the hugs and pats and high-fives.
And then.
And then.
He’s in on the kisses.
Steve doles out the kisses like usual one night after Hellfire and gives one to everyone— including Eddie.
And Eddie panics and gives Steve one right back.
And then the kids are going feral about wanting to give Steve a kiss too.
And Eddie leaves during the chaos.
And then they don’t talk about it.
Until Steve and Eddie do it again.
And the kids accept is as the new normal; you have to give Steve a kiss back.
And then Steve and Eddie have an excuse to kiss each other on the foreheads and cheeks and noses.
One night they’re hanging out, just the two of them at the trailer after Wayne left for work.
Steve had greeted Eddie with a tight hug the moment he’d gotten in the trailer. Eddie had squeezed back just as tight if not tighter.
Steve was getting ready to leave, and on instinct leant in to kiss Eddie, but Eddie was also leaning in to kiss Steve. So they meet in the middle and accidentally kiss on the lips.
And then the new normal for Steve and Eddie is kissing on the lips goodbye.
Idk, just Steve being a very touchy feely person makes me so happy
