[ perhaps, if steve were any other person, he would be putting pieces together. he'd pick up on how very casual dustin is about this whole thing. he'd maybe guess where dustin's line of thinking would take him. it's even possible that, if steve were the type to notice all this, he'd realize that convincing dustin this wasn't some big joke would be a lot more difficult than he could ever imagine.
as it stands, dustin turns to him and says king steve and oh shit, steve is not prepared for how overwhelming the feeling of excitement is. how it's not like a summer where dustin went off to camp, or when he started school and they just didn't hang out as much - steve's been here a year with no real hope of ever probably seeing him again and oh. okay. yeah.
is it out of pocket? maybe. does steve care? not at all. dustin may offer one of his stolen snacks but steve is going immediately in for the hug, pulling dustin in tight against him and holding it for a second or two before he. remembers that thing dustin just said. he pulls back out of the hug with his hands on dustin's shoulders, and now steve is frowning, cause. uh. what? ]
What? Why are you talking about dreams? Also- gross, don't ever dream of me. No.
