[ She really wants to say one of her band shirts, but she can't figure out how to word that without it sounding like a painfully obvious come-on so she bites her tongue. ] something that isn't painted on, probably. something you can't tuck into your jeans so everyone has to look at your slutty little waist.
[ Yeah, that's a lot better. Good going, Munson. ]
[ She absolutely would, that's the problem! ] don't shoot the messenger, alright, i'm just telling it like i see it. and besides, some people like sluts. don't be so down on yourself, it's okay.
yes, good. perfect. i appreciate that very much, thank you.
[ Steve will absolutely still manage to look slutty in an oversized sweater. A cozy, slutty jock. She will still want to bite him. ]
( so, he's been back in the dating game awhile. he's not as rusty as he was back in his little sailor outfit (and whoo boy, if Eddie finds his polos slutty!), Steve is more or less back in the swing of things. but he's also never flirted with a girl that accused him of having a slutty waist or wearing slutty poured on polos, and look, what if he's reading into things? Dustin would probably disown him for making things weird with Eddie, because Steve got a wire crossed somewhere and was looking for more that wasn't there.
so, You know anybody into slutty jocks in polos? Maybe a hot rocker girl with dark eyes and goddamn skull rings and jeans so distressed I really struggle to understand how they stay on at all? is just too on the nose. gotta proceed with caution, here. who the hell knows, maybe she really is just calling it like she sees it (slutty, the whole boy is slutty, head to toe). maybe, MAYBE! Eddie just flirts with all her friends, that's just. you know. cool. Steve is fine with that. yeah. )
Absolutely. If you aren't sure about the slutty polo and waist situation, I'll cover up a bit more.
[ She does kind of flirt with all her friends, but it's usually less on the "telling them they look slutty in a way that makes it obvious it's definitely a compliment" end of the spectrum and more on the "tackle them to the ground and make fun of them for their haircut" end instead.
She definitely doesn't spend an embarrassing amount of time staring at their asses in their stupid slutty jeans, or contemplate just how much of their waists she can span with her hands, or watch the way their hair flops with a morbid kind of fascination. Her hair could never behave the way Steve's does, like gravity is just a suggestion and it's not feeling like complying, thanks. Her hair just goes everywhere all the time and she's stopped trying to corral it.
Look. The point is, Steve dresses like a dorky suburban mom and it's distressingly attractive because he's a hot boy with a hot body and fuck. She wants to bite him again. ] it's very kind of you to look out for the rest of us, steve. watch out for your wrists, too. wrists can be surprisingly slutty, not a lot of people know that.
( slutty polo? sure. slutty waist? okay. dresses like a dorky suburban mom? nope, lost him there, good thing that was a "why am i into this" internal monologue only. )
Hold on, wrists? How are wrists slutty? Everybody knows fingers are the sexy part of the hand. Get real.
[ He does! And she's into it!! It's terrible!!! ] false. i mean sure, fingers are sexy, you're not wrong there. but the wrist... that's the good stuff. a guy with nice wrists can get any girl all a-flutter like a victorian maiden.
[ Also false, she absolutely has, because she's watched Mike get picked up from Hellfire more than once. Karen Wheeler is a babe. Steve should be flattered by the comparison. Ted Wheeler looks like he's made out of library paste. ] it's a compliment! i just said you had nice wrists and that they COULD be considered slutty. not that they themselves were slutty. i mean if you want me to keep going i can list all your other slutty body parts.
[ She will hate his sweaters. Hate them so much she'll want to see one on her bedroom floor. ] hey, i never said it was a bad thing. just that if you go around looking slutty and biteable you gotta be prepared for people to bite you. especially when you give them permission. this one's on you, harrington.
oh baby, you ain't seen a lecture yet, believe you me.
[ Eddie can and happily will launch into a full on hour-long presentation about any topic if given the opportunity. Steve better prepare himself for diagrams about slutty wrists and ankles. ] then what were you angling for?
( Steve feels strangely stupid, now that he is sober, and apparently he tried to hit on Eddie and she took it as invitation to chomp on his forearm instead of what he intended. how do you explain drunk logic when you aren't drunk and have it make any sense. )
My mouth. I wanted you to know what my mouth tasted like. Not my arm.
[ When he puts it like THAT it seems really obvious. Now she's also feeling stupid.
In her defense, she's really not used to boys like Steve hitting on her. Either they're a lot more crass about it — she's been asked for a blowjob while actively selling drugs before, like giving away a service for free in the middle of a cash transaction makes any sense at all — or they look at her like she's some kind of wart-covered toad. She wasn't prepared! ] first of all, you probably just tasted like beer and weed and i know what that tastes like. but also, if you wanted to make out you could have just said!
( somewhere, somehow, Robin can SENSE he's striking out. another tally has been drawn on the "you suck" side. )
I was trying to be... I don't know. Flirty? But now that you've brought up the whole beer and weed thing, probably for the best you decided to bite me instead.
hey, i never said i didn't like the taste of beer and weed.
[ Robin needs to slow her roll, okay, there's still time to get a tally mark on the other side of the board. ] do you need a demonstration? here. watch and learn. hey steve. your slutty little waist and dorky polo shirts have bewitched me. you wanna make out?
( damn. she's good. as always Eddie makes this shit seem so easy!! Steve really thought he was good at flirting with girls, before he tried to flirt with Eddie. )
Yeah, I definitely do. Though, I don't taste like weed and beer right now, if that's what you're into.
[ He can't see her silently freaking out and chewing her fingernails down to little nubs while she waits for his response. Hopefully if he's repulsed now that he's not drunk and/or high they can play it off as a joke.
Hopefully he's not...
Oh. He's not. Okay. Shit. That's great. Nice. ] i think i'll find a way to soldier on through the disappointment.
You think or you know? I could use a bit more confidence on this one.
( he cannot fuck things up with Eddie by taking a risk on a makeout she isn't sure she won't be disappointed by. dustin would LITERALLY murder him. and for his slutty wrists and slutty polos, Steve's confidence just ain't where it used to be. )
fishing for compliments already and you haven't even kissed me yet. is this going to become a pattern, sweetheart?
[ There's like a 0.002% chance she'll be disappointed by Steve making out with her. Even if it's just for the novelty factor, she'll have a good time. And if he's terrible at it, well, that'll give her more ammunition to make fun of him with for the rest of time, so that's a win in her book. ]
[ How could he not be sure if they were compliments? She's not going to go around telling him his chest hair is sexy or something, that would be so weird. ] steve, what part of me biting you makes you think i don't want to kiss you? if i wasn't interested i would have just pushed you out of your chair and told you to fuck off.
sounds like you hang out with the wrong kind of girls, honestly.
[ She'd typed out something a lot more defensive at first but made herself delete it and try again. She's capable of some restraint! Also, she's stuck on the I don't want to screw things up with you part. Huh?? ] look. we'd been drinking. i thought maybe sticking my tongue down your throat would be really awkward for like a million different reasons. sorry for looking out for you.
