[ steve's attention is on the fish, the stars, the magic that koby shows him that very nearly takes his breath away. it has been years since they've arrived here, years since they've been friends, and really - steve shouldn't be so easily awestruck, but something about the magic, something about seeing his friends complete this kind of magic, something...
which, of course, means he catches the skip and stutter. sees the shiver when it happens. koby inhales and pulls back and steve is left just sort of standing there, brows up as he looks back over to his friend, confused and also marginally worried. did he do something? hurt him? is something in the-?
he's about to ask if everything's okay, but koby keeps talking, and steve's worry is now semi-mixed with a confused smile. ] I'm the first one you've shown? Really? [ and- oh, oh koby is very red. more than red. steve notices the glow and the flush and while he might be slow to understand a lot of things, this? this isn't one of them. steve harrington may be lifetimes away from his time as the king of hawkins high, but as he's gotten more comfortable, gotten more used to this world they've all started to call home, well.
the confusion leaves his smile as he watches the other boy, something knowing in his eyes. ]
Hey. [ he turns, facing him a little more. ] Can you show me again?
