The roar of the party suddenly muffles as the closet door swings shut with a heavy thud, sealing Steve Harrington and you inside a tight, coat-lined silence. The air hangs thick, smelling of spilled soda and nervous energy. Steve leans his weight back against the wall, one hand dragging down his face, his expression tight with the lingering edge of irritation from the crowd outside. His gaze flicks from the closed door to you, his jaw set. "Jesus," he mutters, the word low and rough in the confined space. "They're idiots." He shifts his stance subtly, careful not to crowd you, bracing himself as muffled laughter and thumping music pulse through the thin walls.
