convincing steven to come to bed wasn't going to happen. he was nose deep in his book for the past hour and a half only looking up briefly at you every fifteen minutes and shooting you a toothy grin. the affect this man had on you.
you weren't complaining about the sight though.
you could stare at steven in his glasses all night. the way his eyebrows furrowed when he read something, or the way his lips curved upward every five minutes. his curls falling in his face, his stubble was beginning to grow and that tired look did things to you.
steven looked good. too good.
"everything alright, honey?" he suddenly asked and you nodded, biting the tip of your finger.
"peachy," you smiled at him.
you sat up, "whatcha reading there?"
he chuckled, "try not to laugh at me," he arched an eyebrow at you and moved his glasses out of the way.
shaking your head you smiled at him.
"i'm reading about nefertari and ramses the great."
he's doing it again, talking about something only he knows and expecting you to magically know about it. he looked at you with those puppy dog eyes, and you just arched a brow motioning for him to continue.
"ramses had about two hundred wives but nefertari was his first true love. like he wrote poetry for her occasionally, he bought her everything and built stuff for her. he always spoke well of her," he looked at you and you smiled.
"he sounds like a real gentleman."
"yeah, but the two hundred wives is a bit much isn't it?"
you nodded. he looked down at his book again, "listen to this line he wrote on her chamber of her burial site, 'my love is unique - no one can rival her, for she is the most beautiful woman alive. just by passing, she has stolen my heart.' not to sound cheesy, my love, but you also stole my heart." he smiled.
you blushed and smiled, "well if i stole your heart why don't you come join me in bed."
steven stood up and placed his glasses on the desk along with his book. he climbed into bed pulling you into his chest. you placed your head on his chest listening to his heartbeat and breathing in his scent.
he brushed his fingers through your hair and kissed your forehead multiple times.
"i love you," he breathed.
"i love you, too."

summary: working at a museum had its perks one of them being developing a stupid crush on your co-worker
warning: cuteness overload
a/n: requests are open!

the day started as usual; not hearing your alarm, not finding a good enough outfit to wear, your hair having a moody day, the other shoe being missing, burning yourself with hot water, spilling your coffee on your blouse, closing the door on your finger and your car not starting.
what could possibly go wrong further?
probably donna putting you on inventory for being late. it bothered you for a second until you realized that steven would probably be there with you. he scurried in ten minutes after you, splattering apologies left and right.
it was cute.
he looked good today. not like he didn't every other day, but today, there was something about his hair falling just right in his face, his smile just warming up the place, his curious eyes awakening bubbles in your stomach and let's not get started on his outfit.
the button up shirt was hugging all the right places and his pants was a bit tight on his arse area leaving much to the imaginative mind, the denim jacket he was wearing over the shirt made you giddy. like you said, steven grant looked good.
gosh, stupid crush.
"y/n?" donna snapped her fingers in your face and you looked at her bewildered. how long had you been staring at steven? must have been a while, because he was now standing behind the counter scanning barcodes on multiple sweets and toys.
"you with us?"
"yeah, yeah sorry. i had a terrible morning," you lied through your teeth. well not technically lying seeing as you clearly had a terrible morning.
donna smirked, "that terrible morning have anything to do with stevie boy?"
gosh no, never.
you shook your head, "no."
looking at the clock you gasped, the next school bus should be here in ten minutes and your flashcards where no where to be found.
shit!
you forgot them on your desk. you had put a reminder on your phone last night that first thing when you wake up is to take the flashcards but you didn't even have a chance to look at your phone. speaking of said phone, it's still on charge. at home.
"no flashcards?"
"no flashcards."
donna sighed, "i'll get someone else to lead the tour today, go help stevie with the sweets and toys there would ya?"
she walked away, "it's steven."

"what does jellies have anything to do with egyptian mythology, it's a waste of money, honestly."
"i completely agree with you," you said and steven jumped a little, not expecting anyone to be actually listening to him.
"h-hi, sorry. i mumble a lot," he sputtered his face turning beet red. you smiled shaking your head.
"don't worry about it, steven, i do it all the time," you giggled and steven nodded throwing another sweets bag into the basket. steven looked uncomfortable, but that was from your perspective.
from steven's perspective, his heart was racing. his hands were sweating and if you focused hard enough you'd see a small tremble in his hands. why? because he was hopelessly and madly in love with you it was actually embarrassing.
the countless hours he spent staring at you as you danced across the museum, how your eyes seemed to sparkle and how you held your professional pose when a ridiculous question was asked by a pre-schooler. the smile you'd throw him when you caught him staring made his heart stop and it felt as if he would pass out then and there.
it was awkwardly oblivious the effect you had on him for everyone except you.
"shouldn't you be touring a bunch of pre-schoolers?" he mumbled as he busied his hands. you toyed with a egyptian hippo shaking your head.
"forgot my flashcards," you said and steven nodded.
"how's boss lady handling the news?"
you chuckled, "i'm probably on inventory tonight."
"looks like i'm not alone tonight," steven chuckled and you smiled at him.
"thank goodness for that," you said and grabbed the scanner from him scanning the hippos, whilst steven just stared at you.
knock it out, weirdo.
damnit, stupid crush.
~
usually, it was either you or steven in here. never both of you, but it seems like tonight the universe had other plans. probably tired of you both walking on egg shells around each other trying not to spill a love confession.
conversation flowed easily between you and steven, which was a surprise to both of you. steven whooed you with facts about egypt and you whooed him with what's happening on the news nowadays. you were an odd pair but it was rare in a world like today.
you caught steven staring at you multiple times in the past hour, and if your face turned any red shade darker, you were sure you'd explode.
"is there something on my face?" you randomly asked as you turned to him and wiping across your face.
"wh-what?" steven asked putting down a box of artifacts and looking at you putting his hands in his jacket pockets.
"is there something on my face?"
"n-no, why do you ask?"
"cause you keep looking at me as if i have something on my face," you smiled and wringed your hands together looking down.
steven gulped, it's either now or never, right?
"i'm sorry, you just look s-so beautiful."
you gasped, looking at him with wide eyes. you've probably had to much candies. the sugar is probably playing tricks on your mind. yep, that's all it was, tricks was being played.
"wh-what?"
"y/n, i've had the longest and stupidest crush on you from the moment you had walked through that doors. you had held my heart in the palms of your hands the second you said hello to me, and i knew i wanted to marry you when you said goodbye,"steven said, looking anywhere but you.
"steven, look at me," you said softly walking towards him and putting your hands on his cheeks.
"i've had the stupidest crush on you as well," you smiled. steven put his hands on yours leaning into its touch.
he smiled like a toddler. a look of unbelieve and pure excitement in his eyes. if he could he'd stare at you all night. he probably could, and he probably would.
"steven, kiss me," and he did. his lips was soft but firm. his hands moved to your waist pulling you closer to him. your hands snaked around his shoulders weaving themselves in between his locks. you pulled away and rested your forehead against his and bit your lip.
thanks, stupid crush.
