Rating : T
Warnings : Angst, Softness, fluff, (not really a warning but Marc and Steven are aware of each other).
Summary: Steven Grant wants to tell you the truth about why he missed your date, but it isn't Steven you meet...
A/N: I am not a system, nor do I know anyone who is a system. This is based purely on my research, the show, and the information contained within the comics. Please forgive any offence.
I am planning on doing a part 2 much further into their relationship (and very nsfw) if ya'll like this so feedback is appreciated.
Un-beta'd so forgive any errors. That's on me.

Steven Grant had tilted your world. Well, not tilted exactly, more like entirely thrown it upside down and left it there, the wrong way up. Off-kilter, unstable. You hated the feeling of it, it made your stomach lurch.
And that's why you didn't ever expect to find yourself here, at his apartment, his note scrunched in your hand as you stare at the door, willing yourself to knock. You didn't expect to ever want to speak to him again if you were honest. Not after he stood you up on your date. You'd waited for well over an hour in the pouring rain, knowing that sometimes he lost track of time, but he hadn't shown up, not a phone call, a text, nothing.
Nothing until almost a week later. A voicemail full of apologies, a text message with far too many sad faces tagged on the end. You'd ignored it. You'd cradled your broken heart and avoided him at all costs.
But then the note turned up. Hastily shoved into the door of your work locker. A page ripped out of a notebook from the gift shop, screwed up and torn, covered in ink splats. Written no doubt with the quills and ink the gift shop also sold. You imagine Donna would murder Steven if she found out he’d used them. You shouldn’t care about that given the circumstances, but you do, and no matter how you try, you can't seem to stop caring. And Steven can't seem to stop making your head spin, even when he wasn't around.
