Summary
Steve makes a face at Eddie. “You've imagined doing stuff with a guy?”
“Yeah, man,” Eddie replies, spreading his hands wide. “Doesn't everyone?”
Steve tilts his head to the side as he thinks. Maybe not very often, but his freshman year when Davey Riggs had been swim team captain? Yeah, he had definitely imagined some stuff that had made trips to the locker room kinda awkward.
“Yeah, that's true,” Steve answers, nodding. “I wonder why everybody acts like it's so gross, though.”
In the summer of 1986, Steve and Eddie have some perfectly normal fun between a couple of perfectly normal dudes.

Summary
"Bring cash, or you can suck my dick, Harrington.”
Steve tilts his head, watching Eddie as Eddie tries to hold his gaze, and whatever this weird staring contest is about, Eddie feels like he’s losing, even if Steve’s the first to look away. Because his eyes dart down his body, briefly, but it’s enough for Eddie’s lungs to betray him with a sharp, audible inhale.
A corner of Steve’s lips twitches upwards before he finally answers.
“I mean… Didn’t know that was a payment option.”***
Needing some aid for his insomnia following the Starcourt Mall fire, Steve Harrington pays a visit to the known Hawkins dealer and former schoolmate Eddie Munson. There's a perfectly logical explanation as to why he ends up on his knees trying to get in the guy's pants. What baffles him is getting rejected and asked to leave.
Meanwhile, Eddie's having an existential crisis while trying to be a decent human being.
When Steve shows up on his doorstep again, they have to get through whole layers of misunderstandings about what really happened that night before they can finally have some fun time together.Bookmarked by strawberrysolitude

Summary
Steve’s mind is racing. Would it be possible to solve Eddie’s problem, and by extension, his own problem, without a lick of jail time for either of them?
It’s genius, he thinks. Even Dustin would be proud of him.

Summary
“Sorry if you got a lot of shit about it. At school. From- you know.”
Eddie stares at him. “From… your basketball lackeys?”
“Sure. Yeah.”
Is this… is Harrington winding him up?
“Are you winding me up?”
“What? No. No!”
“Pardon my hesitance,” Eddie says, narrowing his eyes, “this is just- kind of unexpected. And by that, I mean- a bit of a mind fuck.”
Steve clears his throat, looks down at his shoes.
Eddie kind of dances from side to side, ducks down to recapture Steve's gaze. “And by that- I mean- cereal shopping with Steve ‘the hair’ Harrington while he apologises on behalf of high school jocks everywhere.”

Gareth's unintentional matchmaking skills lead Eddie to three new discoveries:
1. Steve Harrington is very bad at math
2. Steve Harrington is very fucking weird
3. Steve Harrington is dangerously easy to fall in love with- Language:

Summary
“Be good for me,” Steve says- almost a whisper. Quiet and gentle, as though he isn’t causing catastrophe through words alone, wrecking Eddie in his dorky minimum-wage uniform fleece vest. “I’ll see you soon, baby. Really soon.”
Eddie nods, words out the window. His brain is on the floor at this point, melted out of his skull as soon as Steve had leaned closer, thoughts pushed out and replaced with a ringing in his ears, a record on repeat of good, Eddie, so good, be good for me, baby.
