"You're joking right, Steven?"
Axl asked, looking as June walked into the bar.

"Don't judge yet, she hasn't even sat down yet."
Izzy defended, watching Steven get up to greet June.

"Just trust Steven on this one."
Slash smiled lightly.

-

(Previously in Steven's world.)

"God, Slash, dude, I met the coolest chick last night."
He smiled, sitting down next to his curly-haired friend.

"What's her name?"
Slash asked, happy to listen to Steven talk about this new girl.

"June. Y'know like the month?"
Steven joked.

"Yes, I'm aware."

"Well, she's a teacher dude. Like she reads and knows a bunch of proper grammar 'nd shit. But the thing is she isn't all business. Like I met her at the fucking bar. She was so easy to talk to. She listens to Aerosmith too."
Steven rambled.

"Sounds like you really like this chick."

"I do, man. I got her number too. 'Nd we're supposed to go out again Sunday. W'na take her to get lunch or somethin' nice."
He told his friend.

"I hope it all goes good, Adler. Need a girlfriend in your life."
Slash pointed out.

-

"June, babe, over here."
Steven waved before getting up to greet his now-girlfriend.

"He's not serious, right?"
Axl asked with wide eyes.

"As a heart attack, it seems."
Duff laughed.

"She's wearing a fucking pink sundress. It's got flowers on it."

"Maybe she just wants to be comfortable."
Izzy rolled his eyes at the redheaded singer.

"Jesus she looks like-"

"Lay off, Ax. She's been good to him. Give her some room."
Slash cut in.

"She's totally-"

"Totally what?"
June asked, sliding into the booth next to Slash, Steven following behind her.

"Nothing, nothing."
Duff tried to dismiss from across the table.

"Go on. Axl right? I heard you've got a big mouth."
June remarked, a snarky smile playing on her lips.

"Just surprised to see someone like you here."
Axl challenged.

"Someone like me? Explain that. I'd love to know what you think about me after knowing me for no more than 2 seconds."
June remarked, moving her elbows up on the table to lean on.

"Someone so bright and bubbly. Innocent, really."
Axl crossed his arms, a smirk adorning his features.

"Innocent, huh? Is that what you think?"
She raised her eyebrows.

"You don't exactly scream 'whore' now do you?"

"And you don't scream 'I make girls cum' now do you?"
June smirked as Slash spit out his drink, all of their eyes widening in surprise.

"Still think I'm innocent?"
June raised an eyebrow in challenge.

"We'll see."
Axl said sounding defeated and crossing his arms.

"Someone that can shut Axl up; I like her."
Duff joked, earning a giggle from June.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to come off stand-offish. I'm June."
She smiled softly, leaning back into Steven.

The boys each went around and said their names, just so she knew who everyone was.

"So, how exactly did you end up with Popcorn here?"
Izzy asked, taking a sip of his Rum and Coke.

"We met at the bar actually. I was going to unwind before I headed home and he came up, offered me a drink, and that was basically it."
June shrugged.

"What'd you need to unwind from? Too many teenagers throw a tantrum?"
Axl snarked.

"You're throwing the biggest tantrum I've ever seen as we speak. But to answer your question, I needed to unwind after a parent threatened to have me fired for flunking their kid."
June answered calmly.

"Did you get fired?"
Slash asked jokingly.

"Unfortunately no."
She joked.

As the night progressed, Axl began to unwind and the rest of the guys took a liking to June. Steven had his arm thrown over her shoulder or his hand laced with hers. Even Axl had to admire the connection the two had. The boys were happy their drummer had found someone to make him happy.

"Well, boys, it's been fun but I've got to head home. Early morning."
June half-smiled.

"I'll head home with you."
Steven offered, standing to let June out of the booth.

"She said an early morning, don't keep her too busy."
Slash winked at June, her cheeks flushing slightly.

"Fuck off."
Steven laughed, slinging his arm around June's waist.

"It was nice meeting you guys, even you Axl."
She joked, waving slightly before the pair turned to leave.

-

Once June and Steven arrived at her apartment, the pair shed their jackets and shoes before heading to June's room.

"So what'd you think of the guys?"
Steven asked, getting in bed next to June.

"They were fun. Definitely get why Slash is your best friend."
June smiled, turning on her side to face him.

"He's been there for me."
He shrugged.

"Duff was funny."
She mumbled.

"I'm sorry about Axl."
Steven changed the subject.

"Oh, he's fine. It's okay."
June deflected.

"No, no it's not. I didn't know he was going to do that. To say things like that."
Steven said, his eyebrows knitting together.

"Steven, it's okay. It's nothing I've never heard before."
She said quietly, cuddling closer to him.

"I didn't know he was going to be such a dick to you though."
He sighed.

"Steven, baby, it's okay."
June soothed.

"It's not."
Steven deadpanned.

"Stevie, I'm okay, really. If he kept being super dick I'd be really pissed. But once he realized I wasn't going to just let him judge me, he was okay."
She told Steven.

"I just don't want you to let him get to you is all. I know he has a way of doing that."
He shrugged, tightening his hold on June.

"I can tell."
June chuckled.

"He can be a prick. But I don't want him to be a reason you don't want to hang around."
Steven mumbled quietly.

"That's what this is about?"
She asked, looking up at Steven.

"I mean, I don't want his opinion of you or the way he acts to change how you see me."

"Steven, baby, nothing could change the way I see you. Or the way I feel about you."
June comforted, taking Steven's face in her hands as she rested her weight on her elbows.

"I just- I love you, y'know. You're so damn perfect, and it would be a shame if the guys were to make you want to give this up."
He rambled.

"Baby, nothing anyone else says or does will make me want to give this up."
She soothed, pecking his lips softly.

"I love you."
Steven breathed out.

"I love you more."
She teased.

"I love you most."
