    Summary

    “I’m usually not a very religious person,” Steve begins, trying not to feel stupid for talking to himself. “I’m not. But… After all we’ve been through, the cracks in our world to alternate dimensions, you’d think that maybe there was also the slightest possibility of something good happening.”

    The chapel is quiet around him.

    “I would do anything to get him back.”

    Or: An AU where Steve travels through other AUs to bring back his man.

    Summary

    "I just want a friend."

    The wolf stays where he’s at and for a moment Eddie feels extremely stupid for trying to communicate with an animal but then the wolf stands up- and woah he’s way bigger up close.

    Eddie watches as the wolf steps closer and giggles at the wet cold feeling of his snout sniffing at his hand. He brings it up to pet through the wolf’s unbelievably soft fur and marvels at the glisten of the golden-like color even in the moonlight. “You do too, huh?” Eddie giggles, scratching behind the wolf’s ear as he sniffs at Eddie’s face. “I think I’m gonna’ call you Ozzy.”

    Ozzy huffs and Eddie laughs.

    “Yeah. Ozzy suits you perfectly.”

    Summary

    Eddie freezes, not because he’s uncomfortable, but because he’s terrified that moving even an inch will break the spell. His arm stays where it is, draped across the couch, but he angles it just enough that it curves protectively around Steve’s shoulders. Not touching, not really.

    And Eddie… God. Eddie’s done for.

    He can’t imagine a life without this guy anymore.

    When did that happen? When did it change? When did Steve fucking Harrington go from the rich kid with perfect hair and too many friends to… this? To someone Eddie would fight monsters for. Someone he’d sit awake for, just to make sure he’s breathing okay. Someone who falls asleep against Eddie like Eddie is someone solid, someone safe.

    It’s insane. It’s absolutely deranged. If his high school self could see this — Steve The Hair Harrington wrapped around him like some big, warm golden retriever of a hero — Eddie would’ve laughed in disbelief. Or passed out. Or both.

    But reality is right here, breathing against his collarbone. Steve asleep beside him, trusting Eddie to watch over him. To stay.

    Or: 5 times Steve falls asleep on Eddie and 1 time Eddie returns the favor.

    Summary

    “Steve?” Nancy prompted.
    “Hey, guys, maybe give him a second, alright?” Eddie said gently, his voice felt like a cool cloth on a feverish forehead, Steve could have easily sighed in relief and relaxed into it.
    “A second?” Jonathan said, his voice louder and rougher than Eddie’s, Steve could imagine him gesturing wildly around them just from the way he was speaking. “I don't know if you noticed, Munson, but we’re currently embedded in some freaky flesh-wall-thing.”
    “You’re totally right, Byers, I hadn’t noticed that,” Eddie said, slightly sharper but still quiet enough not to cause Steve any pain. “Guess I missed the entire crash, lucky me.”

    -
    What if Steve is actually really hurt following the crash?
