    Summary

    “Steve really needed to get his stupid thing he had with Munson under control. He struggled to find a word for it. It was like an anti-crush or something. The same awareness and panic that a crush brought, but not because he had feelings for the guy. Because of the opposite. Because any time he saw Munson, his heart kicked up in fear, his breathing got shallow, his whole body started to warm. Munson made him want to turn heel and run.”

    In which Steve has the opposite of the suspended bridge effect.

    (Featuring omega!Steve pretending to be an alpha and alpha!Eddie silently losing his mind.)

    Summary

    “Hey newbie. Ever worked in a bar before?” the guy asks with an easy smile. Steve snaps his eyes up to meet his, and shit they’re pretty. The greeting would be charming from anyone else, perhaps even from the guy himself if he’d not overheard the exchange moments before, but Steve’s insides curl at the condescension.

    “Yeah. For about five years. Thanks. And my name’s Steve,” he responds, voice clipped. He yanks at the ties of his apron, knotting the bow just a little tighter than is comfortable. He’ll have to adjust it later, but the man’s dark eyes are roaming over him like he’s something edible, and there’s no way Steve’s going to give any indication whatsoever that he’s prey.

    “Nice to meet you, Steve. I’m Eddie.”

    Steve can’t prevent the way his face scrunches in confusion, because surely not. There’s no way that this is the Eddie. Sure, he’s not exactly hard on the eyes, but from the little Steve’s experienced of him so far, he seems like a major ass. The way Bridget had hyped him up, anyone would think fucking Jon Bon Jovi worked here.

    OR

    when the upmarket cocktail bar Steve's working at goes out of business, he finds himself in desperate need of a job.

    Summary

    Steve and Eddie got married on a Wednesday in November.

    “I got you a wedding present Stevie.” Steve smiled and kissed him excitedly. Eddie handed him the envelope and Steve held it out in front of himself. It was addressed to Eddie and there was a return address scrawled in the top left corner. Steve froze when he saw the name.

    Summary

    There was half of a t-rex hovering over the bed.

    "There's a t-rex over the bed." Steve said numbly, pointing. Eddie stood next to him, looking equally as confused.

    Summary

    Eddie's built a life for himself in Chicago. The community center he works at is in need of him to teach a few extra night classes.

    Making more money is great, right?

    It'd be even better if he didn't feel so guilty leaving his rescue dog, Gomez, home alone longer than necessary.

    Enter his new and very cute dog walker.

    Eddie thought he was content with his life- but that was before he met Steve.
