“I can be quite charming,” Steve leveled him with a grin and a raised eyebrow.
Eddie made a disbelieving 'hmph'.
“You doubt the charm?” Steve looked playfully offended.
“Oh, I doubt.”
Steve scoffed.

Summary
It's been two days since Starcourt and Steve Harrington is a mess. He's bruised and beaten, concussed and hurting beyond belief. No longer living with his parents, Steve can't rely on their money to get medical help... so he looks for the next best thing. He's known Eddie Munson for a while, been buying drugs off him since Junior year. Now he needs something a lot stronger than weed.
Eddie comes through on the painkillers, but his reaction to finding Steve such a mess is a surprise. When it's clear Steve has no one else (at least, no one he's willing to burden), Eddie takes it upon himself to stay and help. But the drugs only ease Steve's pain so much, and it's not long before he's looking for comfort in more than just the pills Eddie's brought him.
Eddie was worried about Steve forming a habit, with the drugs. Neither of them expected Eddie to be the thing Steve gets hooked on.

Summary
There is this feeling that has been trapped deep in a sea of guilt and selfishness that Steve hasn’t been able to put his finger on. He experiences this feeling nearly on the daily, with no warning, no prompt, nothing but a glance.

Summary
Steve moves with intention, mindful and easy as he measures out four different liquids, a bottle of rum acting as an extension of his own arm. Nothing he does feels forced or hesitant and as Eddie watches Steve twirl a bottle of something and catch it with a grin, he can’t stop thinking about how he wants to know what those hands feel like elsewhere. Are they as confident with a lover as they are behind a bar?
Eddie’s wires get crossed and he pictures himself behind the bar with Steve, his knees sore from the hardwood but it doesn’t matter because he’s got what the can only imagine is a heavy cock on his tongue and Steve’s fingers threaded through his hair—
“Voila! Cable Car!” Steve announces, the sound of the rounded coupe glass settling on the bar in front of him pulling him back to his much less fun reality.
--
Or, Eddie gets stood up and he's going to be grateful for it for the rest of his life. Eventually.Bookmarked by secondconcussion

Summary
Wayne repays his debts. Never missed a payment, never been late in his life. So when Hopper calls up out of the blue with a favor?
Well, he’s built up quite the debt for getting Eddie out of trouble.
He just didn’t expect payment in the form of babysitting one Steve Harrington, battered, bloody and hunted after the mall fire.
So long a he can keep everyone safe—Steve (from the people hunting him), Eddie (from himself), and his own damn self (from a house full of teenagers), he can keep his perfect record as a man who repays his debts.

Summary
The story of his life was a book written with divine clarity.
A book absent of choice, feeling, rage, love, pleasure, independence.
A book dated, signed, and bound by Pastor Harrington, himself.
Steve Harrington is never supposed to leave Hawkins, Indiana.
Steve Harrington is never supposed to explore.
Steve Harrington is never supposed to dance in a gay club with all the lights off.
Steve Harrington is never supposed to find pleasure.
Steve Harrington is never supposed to fall in love.
Steve Harrington is never supposed to get what he wants.
Everything changes the day he meets Eddie Munson.
Everything.

Summary
Steve is wearing Eddie’s clothes, and his hair is so messy he barely looks like a Harrington at all. But when Wayne looks at him, he can see his parents. Catherine’s eyes and nose. Richard’s mouth. Catherine’s hair. But then Steve freezes, eyes finding the cake as Wayne finishes with the candles, and they widen, shining as he stares at the flickering flames and white frosting and colorful sprinkles, and his parents are nowhere to be found.

Summary
Look, Eddie was a simple man. He wanted simple things.
And if a simple man glances up while making his way back along a tabletop after he gave a —quite frankly, riveting— monologue against compulsory sports, and see's the sight that is Steve Harrington wide eyed, mouth parted, with a strong blush spread over his face… then the simple man is falling right back under the spell. Luckily, he doesn't actually fall. Mostly just stumbles a little while getting back to his chair.
----
Steve Harrington enters his senior year of high school with a pathetic crush on resident freak, Eddie Munson. And his pretty, pretty hair. With no other way to express it, he come up with a plan.

“He’s clearly in love with you, dude.”
Eddie couldn’t help the full on belly laugh that came out of his mouth. “Steve?!” He asked incredulously. “No way, man. He’s my P.A. and one of my closest friends. Plus the guy is straight as an arrow. Your gaydar must be off or something.”
“What makes you so sure?”
“Well… I mean… look at him!”

Summary
“Leave me!” The boy repeated, insistent now, and Eddie’s hand felt wet against the boy’s face now. He realized with a pang that he was crying.
From his position in the doorway, Eddie could see into the lounge, and his stomach dropped at the sight of several empty pill packets on the coffee table, moonlight glinting off them.
“Nah, I’m not gonna do that,” Eddie murmured to him, and he pulled the boy closer, ignoring his weak protests and guiding his head into his lap. “S’alright, I gotcha.”
*****
Steve drives to an isolated cabin intending to end it all. He wasn't counting on a desperate boy breaking into the cabin on the same night.

we could kiss (just like real people do) by mikeslawyer for blingyu

Summary
“Can I kiss you?”
The words come out rushed and Mike refuses to look at Will, who takes the remote control and stops the movie abruptly.
“What?”
“I mean, you don’t have to, obviously. But I was thinking - if you think I’m pretty and would wanna kiss me, then you should. Like you know-”
Mike cuts himself off in the middle of the sentence and looks for better words. Preferably ones to show him as any less desperate to kiss Will than he is.
“For practice. You’ve never kissed anyone and I haven’t kissed anyone in a long time, so - yeah. I can show you how to and then you’ll know, when you find a girl you like.”.
or
Will is decidedly, obviously, definitely not flirting with Mike. (He is.) Mike can't deal with it.

“What size were you thinking? Where’s this going?”
Steve pointed to the middle one, barely an inch wide.
“I was thinking my wrist?”
Eddie smiled at him.
“Sounds good, sunshine.”
Oh. That was not good.
That little thing his stomach just did?
Nope. Not good at all.

Gareth bets that Eddie's gonna end up with a shiner. Eddie bets that Steve'll let him down easy, like a gentleman.

Summary
"It's like the kid put a spell on him that night in the clearing because Eddie can't turn a corner without seeing him now. Can't go an hour without thinking about him. He's viscerally aware of Harrington in a way he never had been before. Like the kid had sunk his hands into him and rearranged his insides, tuning Eddie to his own personal frequency. Like he was a beacon and Eddie was hurtling head-first into the light. Breaking his bones. Sirens luring ships to the rocks."
-
Steve Harrington's only a sophomore. Not even sixteen yet. But he wants to buy weed from Eddie. Wants to get to know him, be around him, feels drawn to him for a reason Eddie can't fathom. Eddie himself resists as much as he can, but he feels his defences quiver and crack every time he sees pretty hazel eyes and the cruel flicker of a sulky pink mouth.

Summary
The only reason Steve volunteers to keep a journal to track Eddie Munson’s skim-milk memories, is because of the twerps.
They have school, they can’t commute to the government-protected hospital that’s all the way in the city. That, and they gave Steve this well-rehearsed, tearjerker performance about how grateful they would be.
About how grateful Eddie would be.
Pfft like shit on a stick, he’ll be grateful. The dude doesn’t even remember how old he is, how the hell is supposed to be grateful for Steve Harrington jotting down notes in binder?
But those kids have been through Spielberg-level disaster shit. Steve has too, but they’re just kids.
So he’ll do it. He’ll do it for them and only them.
