helping steve after a bad fight headcanons

Requested: nope, sorry !

A/N:i literally have tons of requests right now but they’re all harry potter and i’m honestly not in the mood for harry potter ngl (which is never the case). so instead of writing my requests like a decent person, i’m just gonna write some outsiders stuff because all i can think about lately is steve randle ‍♀️ sooo once again, i’m super sorry but hopefully you guys like this ! (update: i’m not super proud of this so don’t hurt me if it’s bad)

Pairing(s):steve randle x reader

Character(s):steve randle, reader, sodapop curtis, mentions of ponyboy, johnny, dally, and darry

Warnings:angst and fluff if you squint, crying (is that worthy of a warning ??), slight mentions of death (barely), i think like one curse word

Word Count: a heckin lot of bullets, sorry

UNEDITED

• you were watching whatever cartoon was on and having a jolly ol’ time when someone started knocking on your door
• rAtHeR aGgReSiVeLy might i add
• you were about to get real fiesty w the person behind the door bc it’s too late for this bullshit
• turns out the person was sodapop who was practically carrying a rather beaten up steve
• of course you panic and help soda set steve down in the closest chair
• soda would’ve stayed with you and steve if he didn’t have a barely conscious dally in the back seat of darry’s ford
• as soon as soda left you ran over to steve
• he had a cut on his neck and stomach, a broken nose, a busted lip and eyebrow, a black eye, and bruises all over his chest
• you almost started crying right then and there but held yourself together and focused on cleaning up his face
• he could tell you were tearing up and tried to lighten the mood by telling you about how him and dally almost beat up a whole group of socs all on their own
• that made it worse
• “darlin’ please don’t cry”
• “i’m tired of it, steve, i don’t wanna see you like this. it’s one thing when you’re gettin’ in fights in order to protect pony or johnny but when you get all cocky and decide you can take on groups of guys twice your size it’s a whole other story”
• “well i made it out alive didn’t i ?”
• “barely ! i’m not stupid steve, i know if soda wouldn’t of made it on time you’d be dead. don’t act like that cut there on your neck ain’t from a blade to your throat cause i know it is”
• he was silent after that
• and you were practically sobbing
• it wasn’t a pretty sight but you couldn’t help thinking that one day you were gonna get a call from soda saying steve’s gone for good
• eventually between the tears and yelling you managed to clean most the blood and dirt off his face
• for the millionth time, you had to pop steve’s nose back in place after a fight
• he was used to it by now but you may have accidentally been a little more aggressive than needed
• you were upset oh well he can deal with it
• after he was clean and bandaged up (for the most part) he was apologizing nonstop
• “i’m sorry darlin’”
• “i know you are”
• “like really really sorry”
• “yep, i heard you the first 8 times”
• “no baby i mean it i-”
• “ok steve honey shut your pie hole before i break your nose again”
• you made him take a shower
• he insisted on you taking it with him bc he needs more attention and has a weird thing where he loves other people washing his hair
• you don’t wanna give in but also don’t trust him to be alone
• eventually you’re in the shower too
• he won’t full out admit it but he loVES being babied by you
• you’re starting to think that’s the reason he even gets in fights
• he doesn’t wanna go to bed bc he wants to tell you about how great the fight was now that you’ve calmed down
• but you eventually get him to suck it up and go to bed
• he insists on cuddling but everytime he hugs you or pulls you close he somehow hits a bruise and dramatic wailing ensues
• after he’s chilled out, he gets a tad more serious
• “i know i’ve said it a lot but i really am sorry. i’ll be more careful, i swear. i love you.”
• “thanks, stevie. i love you too”
• “i mean honestly i aught to, i have no idea what you would do without me. i can’t even imagine!”
• yup, there’s the steve randle you know
