Eddie's smile fades. “What?”
“Be shame if Steve knew you broked his mug.”

Summary
“What if I kill you?” Eddie blurts, like a tool.
As if Steve’s been following his train of thought the entire time, he mumbles, “I'm too pretty to kill.”
And, like, what is Eddie supposed to do? Disagree?
“Yeah,” he agrees slowly. “Fair.”
(Or, Eddie and Steve are spies who keep running into each other.)

Summary
“Are you a manifestation of my subconscious?” Eddie asks, tentatively shuffling closer to the wolf. He sways a little, stage-whispering, “What are you trying to tell me?”
He knows the pills he took were strong but, well - he didn’t think they were ‘hallucinate a giant dog’ strong.
(Or, the one where Steve turns into a wolf and befriends Eddie Munson.)

Summary
“Eddie?" Steve sounds sleep-rough even to his own ears. "What’s up, man? It’s like, midnight.”
“I know, I know, sorry, just—“ Eddie takes a breath. “David proposed to me.”
Steve feels the world tilt on its axis. “Oh.”
“Aren’t you gonna ask me what I said?”
Softly, Steve asks, “What did you say?”
“I said yes.”
(Or, Steve and Eddie navigate their twenties together and apart. Eventually, something has to give.)

Summary
“So I just like, what, like she/her pronouns used for myself?”
Robin shrugs, bringing a hand to her mouth to nibble on one of her short fingernails. Don’t think too much about where those fingers have been. For Chrissy’s sake. For his own sake.
“Might be. But I she/her you all the time. You never had that reaction before, did you?”
“That’s different,” Steve whines, “It’s— It’s for the gays. Y’know what I mean, you do it all the time. Good looking people with nice outfits we pass on campus are she/hers. Your toaster’s a she/her if it makes your toast just right. It’s the same thing as you calling me a whore when I come through the door in my clubbing outfit.”
Robin hums wisely. “I see your point. You do look like a whore in that outfit, though, Harrington.”
Steve strikes a sexy pose on Robin’s bed. “I try.”
Or
The one where Steve Harrington gets called Good Girl by the wrong person at the wrong time, goes on a long winded journey of self discovery, speedruns a gender crisis (powered by Eddie Munson), and then proceeds to get called Good Girl by the right person at the right time.

Summary
When Eddie gets a message on instagram from an account claiming to be the famous pop-star Steve Harrington, he knows immediately it's a catfish. He's not dumb. The account has no pictures and people like Steve Harrington don't just randomly DM guys like Eddie.
Still. What would be the harm in letting it play out? It's not dangerous if he knows he's being catfished. No, if he knows about it, then it's basically like a fun little roleplay. No harm, no foul.
(Eddie is not, in fact, being catfished)

“How,” Steve clears his throat, “how did you tell Claudia? That you loved her?”
“I left my failing marriage for her and asked if I could take her last name instead,” his mom says, “Really, Steven, it’s quite simple.”
“I don’t have a failing marriage to leave,” Steve complains.
“Oh,” his mom responds. “Oh, Steven. Honey."

Summary
Eddie knows how to jerk off alright? He knows what feels good, now that testosterone gave him a dick. And he knows that he's never liked any sort of penetration.
Except maybe he might. At least, he wants to try.
Because now he's with Steve. And if he's with Steve, he might actually like it.
OR
Eddie and Steve try something new.

Steve is just... a really good friend. Who thinks Eddie is straight, apparently. And who wants to help him with that, if not in the way Eddie would like him to.
It helps a little more than Eddie bargained for.

Summary
There was one specific guy at those parties that always caught Eddie's eye, though. He seemed like he was the host–if that's what you call it–of the events. His name was Steve. Steve Harrington. Eddie rarely remembers client names, let alone their last names, so you know something about this guy is special.
Or,
Eddie is a sex worker in the 80's who happens to get invited to a patrons (Steve's) birthday, and well, everything else is a little surprising from there for the both of them.

Summary
It's an innocent enough question, or so Eddie tell himself when Steve blindsides him with it. If his answer isn't so innocent, well, no one's complaining.
This was supposed to be a Kiss Prompt twitter thread for @NonchalantDroid but it ended up here because it ran away with me. #39, Promise.

Summary
Eddie’s presence is familiar, too familiar, in Steve’s unlit room. Memories flood his brain: Eddie laying in his bed, twirling his rings with his forefinger, humming along to whatever stupid song he let Steve put on; Eddie carefully applying dark eyeshadow to his waterline, a Corroded Coffin shirt clung to his skin; Eddie holding Steve’s face in the moonlight, thumb tracing his freckles.

Steve Harrington hasn't left his room in seventeen days.
Or,
Eddie pays Steve a visit.

Summary
The last thing Eddie expected to see in his life was Steve Harrington, comfortably laid back on his bed, fidgeting with a condom wrapper.
***
Steve discovers Eddie's expired box of condoms. That leads to some fooling around (in more than one sense of the phrase).-

Summary
The kiss is brief, only a second or two, not even long enough for Steve to really register what's happening before Eddie pulls away. Steve’s frozen in place, his arms still wrapped around Eddie.
Steve blinks down at him. "What?" he says stupidly. What?
Eddie closes his eyes, a weak smile on his lips. "Something to remember me by."
"You're not dying," Steve says. It feels like his mouth isn't attached to his brain anymore; the inside of his head is a dial tone.
"Of course I am," Eddie says, eyes still closed. "I'm dying right now."
"You're not, though." His voice keeps getting higher, for some reason. "You're not going to die here."
"Spare me the pity, Harrington, I know—"
"You're literally not dying right now." His whole body is hot. Is he sweating? "You lost some blood but they didn't get deep enough—I looked—you're going to be fine."
There's a pause. "I'm going to be fine?" Eddie asks, voice also going high and thin. "You're—sure?"
"Yes."
"Fascinating. Great. Are you—could you do me a favor, then, and maybe just—leave me here anyway?"
"What?" Steve says. The dial tone gets louder. "No. Why?"
"No reason," Eddie says, voice tight.

Summary
Every date Steve has gone to lately has been horrible. It’s impossible that there’s something wrong with the entire female population of Hawkins, so surely there must be something wrong with him.
“Why don’t you take me on a date then?”
“Wh— what?”
“Take me on a date, pretend, of course, and then I’ll tell you if there’s something wrong with you or not.”
Or: Eddie proposes a crazy idea to see if there's something wrong with him, Steve finds the fact that it works is even crazier.
