Summary
Steve likes guys. He's liked guys since forever. However, he's never liked a guy as much as he likes Eddie, and his pining is getting a little ridiculous considering he's 80% sure Eddie likes guys too.
So what does he do? Confess his feelings like a normal person? Date a girl who looks and acts conveniently like Eddie? Suffer endlessly and end up dying alone? No.
He's whipping out the hanky.

Summary
“Look, I’m just asking, okay? Not– I don't mean anything by it. But, uh.” His eyes darted back and forth, then he leaned in close to Steve. Steve had gotten used to that, kind of. The guy had no concept of personal space. “Are you flagging?” Eddie finally finished.
Steve shook his head slowly, eyes narrowed. He had no idea what that meant. He had no answer. “What?”
Eddie leaned away from Steve, facing forward again and nodding. “Okay, got it. That answers my question. Carry on.”

Summary
Ghost’s chuckle in response was telling, lacking any distinct warmth. “Not quite. As much as I appreciate you fixing my dress shoes, what I really want is a bit more… intimate. It means something different to me.”
“Intimate how?” The way he bites his lip and looks up pleading for more context should be illegal. It’s downright unfair how pretty he looks in this vulnerable liminal space.
“You were raised Catholic, weren’t you?” Soap’s not expecting a question in response to his own, let alone one so out of left field, and Ghost can sense the indignation forming on his lips before he even responds, so he moves before the bratting can begin in earnest. A firm hand pushes down on Soap’s shoulder and despite his confusion he allows it to lead him down onto his knees. Ghost doesn’t remove the hand, but does lift one boot and rests it on Soap’s firm thigh. “It's worship, Johnny.”
________________Or, the one where Soap accidentally stumbles into Ghost's leather fetish and gets in a bit over his head.

Summary
Sometimes, Eddie considered that everything would have been a lot easier if he’d just gotten eaten to death by demonic fucking bats. Instead, he’d woke up in a hospital hooked up to a dozen machines. And he’d stayed there for weeks, doing what the doctors told him to do, watching the lies on the news with a numb feeling of disconnect, and nodding when he had visitors and they asked him questions.
Everything felt distant. Far away. He tried to explain it to Wayne, once, who looked at him with his sad, tired eyes, and said, “You’ll feel better once you get out of here.”
“Yeah,” Eddie said, nodding along like the good little bobble-head he’d become. He hoped it was true. And then he got out of there, and he found out that it wasn’t.

Sequel, but doesn't really follow after Red. Don't need to read Red to read this one, though feel free for the kink!
Even though its Daryl walking around for attention, it takes a little bit of coaxing on Rick's part to get him to play the game.

Summary
“What’d’ya say, puppy?” The name in his direction felt dirty. Almost viral. Like just the tone would make Eijirou sick with it. Like having Bakugou in front of him, liquor warmed and ghosted in the haze of cigarette smoke, wasn’t already enough to solve this desire. “Take the offer now before you lose it.”
He felt suddenly sexless in comparison to this man. Contained to something private and distant. He’s in this… perpetual state of wanting to be a part of something like this. To be held. To be possessed. He’d been told his whole life that he could not belong as he was. He had decentered his identity to be made tolerable, palatable, invisible.
But now?
Eijirou wanted to be seen.
“Yes, sir.”
Or; The Village in ‘77 is hot in every sense of the word and Eijirou wants it all. Except, he isn’t sure he’s ready for it yet. Until his friends bring him into his first ever leather bar and he meets Bakugou, an Old Guard with a mean streak and a black hanky in his left pocket. -

Summary
- DURING AND POST SEASON 4 VOLUME 2 -
That was when he saw them.
The two figures were folded over each other on the ground, a ring of dark shapes crumpled and curled around them. Webbed, membranous wings fluttered lifelessly in the wind, lifting at odd angles like plastic bags on the interstate.
But Steve could barely see them.
His ears rang, his vision reduced to a greyish tunnel as he recognised the wooly texture of Dustin’s ghillie suit.
No.
Steve’s feet tripped beneath him as he staggered down the hill, moving towards them.
No hero moves, his thoughts washed through his mind in a seasick, rolling fashion. He could already see the dark wash of blood, soaking the ground like ink around them, as he bolted forward.
I said no hero moves.
…
Steve Harrington, ex-lifeguard and babysitter extraordinaire, happens to be blessed with knowledge of first aid. Eddie is the recipient of this aid, and as he recovers he must learn to live with the fact that he owes his life to a prom-king with a 12 step haircare routine. This would be easier if he didn’t find said prom king so uncomfortably attractive.
And if the world would stop ending for five minutes.

Summary
“You know,” Steve focused his attention back to Eddie as he spoke. “There is a way to help break you away from the whole ‘King’ thing. If you wanted to,” He finished, raising his eyebrows up at the other.
Steve gave him a dubious look, not entirely trusting the look on his face.
“If you started hangin’ around the school freaks I don't think anybody would doubt that you’ve changed,” Eddie smirked, his eyes holding a slight challenge in them.
Halloween 1985 Steve Harrington runs into Eddie Munson after Nancy breaks his heart. What follows is not something anyone could have predicted.

Summary
"The hanky code was a covert sartorial code used predominately by queer men in the 1970s and into the 1980s. Simply put, a bandana is worn in one's back pocket for the purposes of sexual signaling."
Steve gets high and asks a lot of questions. Eddie sees right through it.

Summary
“What’s that for?” Eddie settles back into the couch, pressing a hard line of heat against Steve’s shoulder.
“What’s what for?”
“The bandana in your back pocket. What’s it for?”
Eddie pauses, looks over at him and raises a pointed eyebrow. He shifts, turning his body towards Steve’s, pulling away in the process. Steve kind of misses the warmth.

Summary
“Light blue,” Toby says mildly. He glances down at Josh’s back left pocket, where he’s tucked a handkerchief so only an inch is hanging out. “I suppose I should be glad you’re not asking to be fisted at the middle of a presidential event, huh.”
