Steve had let out an inaudible sigh of relief, his smile not going away as he looked over at the girl, soon faltering as Eleven had revealed where Nancy was. ❝ Gone? ❞ He asked, a tilt of his head as he wondered what she meant, chewing on his lower lip. For a second, he finds a slight joy in being in the Wheeler home, his brows furrowing at the girl as he was trying to figure out if she was spacing out or not. ❝ Outside, like – she went to the store? Or she’s outside, with her mom? ❞

_{▌█ ∵   εїз   ∵ █ ▌Trying to remember exactly where Mike told her they had gone a small look of concentration on her face.}❝ _{With Mom. To gen-general Store.}  ❞ _{Word a slight struggle but managing to speak it before pulling the sleeve of her jacket over wrists just in case. He looked, confused she wore that type of expression a lot lately especially around the house. Taking a few steps towards where she had been sitting on the Lazy Boy she glanced to him before motioning for him to come sit down.}❝ _Wait?❞

He wasn’t as mean or as intimidating as people made it seem like, if anything. Listening to the girl, he nodded his head in confirmation and let out a slight sigh of relief. ❝ They went to the store? ❞ He asks, just wanting that safe okay from her again - just in case something happened to Nancy and Mrs. Wheeler. Steve reclines himself on the couch, being patient as ever, but he’s enjoying the casual conversation ( though it’s just a few words from her and a whole sentence from him ), he still likes it. ❝ Sure, I’ll wait. ❞
