    Summary

    But he didn’t count on the fact there was one person in the room who, besides Eleven and Hopper, had the reason to be the most stir-crazy of them all — and Munson had practically made antagonizing Steve into an even bigger pastime than a professional goddamn sport.

    There were a variety of one liners he liked to deploy when Steve would roll his eyes or let loose a huff of annoyance.

    “What’s got your panties in a twist, Harrington?” he would ask, or, “Baby skip his nap today?”

    A personal favorite of his seemed to be some variation of asking if it was Steve’s time of the month. “You on your period, sweetheart?” he’ll ask. It never failed to kill with the boys, who would fall all over themselves laughing when he asked — usually after whatever meeting they were in, because it also never failed to get Nancy apoplectic. Munson, to his credit, had only needed twice to learn to keep that one way under his breath and out of her earshot for fear she’d shoot his nuts off.

    These questions also had the unique ability to make Steve as red as a fucking tomato which, like, fuck him, he guessed.

    In which Steve learns a thing or two, by doing a thing or two.

    Summary

    And that is how, some four weeks later, Eddie finds himself in another city, in another stadium, performing in front of another screaming crowd. Every single place in the stands is packed, just like Chrissy said it would be.

    Jesus fucking Christ, he thinks, while a gray-haired dude dressed in a tux and bowtie of all things steps up to the microphone placed at the center of the ring.

    “Ladies and Gentlemen,” he intones in one of the most sonorous voices Eddie has ever heard in his life. “Fighting out of the red corner, wearing black trunks and weighing one-hundred-seventy-five and a quarter pounds. Originally from the small town of Hawkins, Indiana. His professional record: thirty-three consecutive victories with twenty-eight knock-outs. It’s my pleasure to present the undefeated, undisputed light heavyweight champion of the world: his majesty, the King of the Ring … Steeeeeve Harringtoooooon!”

    Summary

    The sight of Steve like this—the smooth slope of his back and the muscles bunching in his arms and his flushed, blissed-out face as he gasps into the pillow—feels like something that was plucked from Eddie's fantasies by a universe that has never been this nice to him.

    Summary

    After a rough day at work, Robin asks Eddie for some praise to help her feel better. Witnessing this, Steve hesitantly asks if Eddie will do the same for him as well. Eddie - always happy to cheer people up - agrees immediately. Neither of them are prepared for Steve's reaction to Eddie's sweet words.

    When Steve panics and tries to bolt, Eddie knows he has one chance - just one - to make Steve realize that this is the best thing to happen to either of them in a long time.
