Summary
Dustin takes the leap on an unassuming Monday afternoon in early May.
“You want me to– what?” Eddie’s voice squeaks a little on the final word.
“Kiss me,” Dustin says matter-of-factly, not bothering to hide the blush that has risen to his cheeks. “Look, I know you’re gay. I… think I might be, too. But I’m not sure. I need more data.”
—
Dustin asks Eddie to help him test two hypotheses:
Hypothesis 1: Dustin is gay. Hypothesis 2: Steve Harrington is gay.
Dustin thinks this may help him with his final (and most important) hypothesis: if both things are true, then maybe he has a chance after all.But Dustin may have forgotten some crucial variables. Namely, Steve’s feelings and his own. Emotional fallout ensues.
A story that takes place in a canon divergent world where Vecna never targets Hawkins after the events of Season 3. Events occur in May of Dustin's freshman year. Dustin is 15 and Steve is 19

Note: There is no sex between minors (Dustin) and adults (Steve or Eddie) in this fic.Series

Summary
It’s a slow Monday morning in early September when Robin makes her proposal at the Family Video Store.
“I’m not marrying you, Rob,” Steve says, nonplussed. “No offense or anything.”
“No– I never said that– I said we could totally do something LIKE a lavender marriage.”
---
Robin suggests a fake dating scheme that she believes will provide cover for both her and Steve as they both navigate their respective secret queer relationships. Nothing goes according to plan.
--Note that this work is already complete, with a new chapter to be added each day.
