Summary
“Why didn’t either of you tell us you were dating?”
He looks so hurt and indignant in the way only Dustin can, and maybe it’s not too late to run out after Steve and make their case for the beers again if it means the kid’ll stop frowning and looking at Eddie like that. It takes a minute for his words to sink in.
Eddie blinks. “What.”
“What do you mean, what? You kissed!”
“No, we didn’t,” Eddie scoffs.
Except, yes, they did. Realization crashes over him, the force of it stunning him into silence.
Steve kissed him. On the lips. Like it was nothing, like it was something they did every day.
And Eddie hadn’t even blinked or shoved him away or registered it at all, just returned the kiss and went right back to bossing Steve around, as if the whole fucking thing was the most natural thing in the world.
Fuck.

Summary
Wayne Munson’s lived his life mostly free from the hubbub of small town gossip. Some was unavoidable in his tiny holler as a boy; more was part and parcel to the service, and plain keeping half-sane in war, but the point of the matter is this: he don’t mean to collect any of the latest scuttlebutt on his way just to town after he gets off his shift just past 5, where the diner's got a better cup-o-joe than the sludge he gets on the floor.
And honest: he don’t think that’s more than he’s earned the right to ask.
But it is more than he bargained for signin’ up to, when he sees the only other people in the diner at this hour on a Saturday.
-
Or: Wayne maybe sees his nephew's boy with a lady friend at the diner one innocuous weekend morning, and he maybe overhears some concerning words shared between the two of them—he can't be blamed for being unable to turn off his own ears.
It could be argued, however, that he can be blamed for the conclusions he draws as a result, and for the handwringing that follows. He was raised better than to countenance idle gossip, after all.

Summary
“Don’t.” Dustin hisses up at him, palm still pressing against Eddie’s stomach. “Can you guys not be gross at least when we’re here?”
Nobody else even cares, Eddie thinks sullenly but he’s still too busy staring longingly at his boyfriend to manage replying at the same time. Dustin’s look of annoyance turns into one of disgust and Eddie subconsciously touches a hand to the corner of his mouth. According to Robin he tends to drool sometimes when he’s looking at Steve. That doesn’t seem to be the case now though and he doesn’t even get a word in before Dustin’s groaning. All loud and dramatic.

Summary
Steve starts unpacking everything out of the shopping bags with the urgent efficiency of someone building a sandcastle as the tide comes in. It all happens so abruptly, Eddie actually wonders if Vecna’s back and he should jump into high alert as well.
“Steve?” Eddie asks, cautious and the immediate tightening of Steve’s jaw is all the indication he needs. Vecna isn’t the case. And Steve doesn’t seem to be injured either. Eddie’s fucked up somehow. “Is everything okay?”
(or; Eddie encourages Steve to get back together with Nancy one too many times and Steve doesn't take it well)

Summary
At any rate, it goes like this: Eddie gets dumped, or he does the dumping. He mopes around, taking comfort from Steve, and Steve likes to pretend that Eddie’s all his. Then, Eddie inevitably goes stir-crazy and goes out. Hooks up with a guy, then two, and inevitably ends up dating one of them.
And that’s when Steve seduces him.
Not Eddie, of course. Steve doesn’t think he can do that. Steve doesn’t know how. Eddie doesn’t even know he likes men.
No, he just fucks Eddie’s boyfriends.
In an act of profound dysfunction and self-destruction, Steve Harrington develops the unfortunate habit of sabotaging Eddie's relationships by sleeping with his partners. This inevitably blows up in his face, but the fallout isn't what he expected.
