Right. Yeah. ( Steve feels stupid saying it, but he also doesn't know what else to say. he is, indeed, Steve Harrington. and it is incredibly insane to come face to face with Chrissy Cunningham, after... after... frankly, even thinking the words is a little difficult. owning up to the fact a girl he'd known, been friendly with, had a few offhand conversations with. a girl he'd liked because who didn't like Chrissy Cunningham? had suddenly, and horrifically, died. it's a lot to wrap his head around. and frankly, Steve hadn't wrapped his head around it. it hardly even felt real, even with the chalk outline of Chrissy's mangled body forcefully chalked into the carpet of the Munson trailer.
he feels a little numb, as she pushes in to hug him. Steve hugs back, though, of course he does. it feels uncanny, like this might be some strange trick, or a bizarre daydream. Vecna playing with his head, because, that seemed to be his MO, even if giving Steve guilty daydreams of cheerleaders does feel a bit off his usual bit. yet Chrissy feels solid and real, when he wraps his arms around her. the embrace is brief and somehow still quite reassuring, all at once. Steve wishes it is longer than it is. though, Chrissy releasing him is probably for the best. he's a little sore, still — the wounds at his side bandaged but the ones on his back a little more awkward, hugs overall are just more painful than they should be.
it's fine though. he would 100% hug Chrissy again. worth a slight tinge of pain. he's shaking off a slight grimace from the movement as she makes a pretty good point )
I, uh... I get too into it, I guess. It's so confusing, right? Why can't they have a voice over or something? Or cut out all the weird stuff and make it funny, it'd be a way better show. Hands down. ( Steve isn't quite sure what to do with his hands, so he crosses his arms. there's no place to do anything with them that way, problem solved. ) How long... how long have you been here? (what's the last thing you remember from home, he wants to ask, and is simultaneously unsure that he should. )
