    Summary

    Robin Buckley is a lesbian.
    And Eddie Munson is gay.

    And they’re dating.
    Well, at least to the outside world.
    And to a very, (very) confused Steve.

     

    “I told Steve Harrington you’re my boyfriend.” Through the receiver. Alien words through plastic. He wants to laugh, really he does, but all he can manage is a bit of stunned silence until

    “Why the hell would you do that?” With no malice. Not even really a tone to his voice other than curiosity. He of all people shouldn’t really have to ask, because he already knew the answer. He was a liar too.

    “I panicked” she says, a shuffling on the other end. “He was getting all… mushy, saying stuff about feelings..”

    “For you?”

    “I know, right, can you believe it?

    “You don’t think you could have told him the truth?” He asks, and there’s silence beneath the static. “Seems like you two are real close.”

    And she sighs, and she lets out a noise of frustration that Eddie knows all too well, when you want to tell someone something, need to, and you can’t. You just can’t.
    Because it’s Hawkins Indiana and sometimes you have to keep your mouth shut just to stay safe.

    Summary

    Before Steve can move, the most beautiful man on the planet skids through the door, long, dark curls flowing behind him like they’re caught in their own breeze.

    "Kiss me," the man says. His voice is deep and breathy, and he has the biggest, brownest eyes Steve has ever seen. He loses himself in them—they’re so dark he can see his reflection in their depths—and it takes too long for the words to register.

    "What?" Steve mumbles.

    This gorgeous guy—long limbed and slender, a cropped cut-off t-shirt showing acres of pale skin punctuated by dark swirls of tattoos—can’t have actually asked to kiss him. This is a lust-based hallucination, it has to be, because this guy has a belly-button ring and wears pants so tight they have to be cutting off his circulation.

    "Kiss me. Please?" the man asks again. The shouting from outside is louder now, people are crying, and Steve is sure that, this time, there's a definite note of desperation to his words.

    Summary

    “One of my students wears a Corroded Coffin shirt to school every day.”

    Eddie laughed, wiggling out of his tight pants, and tossing them to the corner of the room to wear again tomorrow. “Kids got taste. You want me to sign something to give to him?”

     

    Steve's students are huge Corroded Coffin fans and he has to pretend he’s not dating the face of the band.
