Summary
“Nothing wrong with a bit of romance,” Eddie said, and for a moment his eyes darted toward Steve, and they were—
Twinkling. Mirthful and light past their initial darkness, like liquid ink, or the stars in a clear night sky, and…
Steve swallowed past the sudden lump in his throat. He felt dizzy, all of a sudden.
:: Or, when Steve realizes Eddie likes him, he maybe, kind of, sort of spirals a little bit. It works out, though.

Summary
After Vecna, Steve and Eddie have a history together. Steve wants them to have a future together too.
*
Steve shrugs, helplessly. He wants to reach over and tug at the beltloops of Eddie’s coveralls. He wants to put his hands on Eddie’s cheeks and look into his eyes. He wants Eddie to look at him while Steve says: I wanted to see you as well. Or: you look good in those coveralls. Or: sorry, I’m so sorry, I don’t know what I did but I miss you so much, please come back.Bookmarked by sugarsnapping

Summary
Steve Harrington knows this world isn't permanent. They never are.
He blinks into existence, brand new and disoriented. He might not know where he is, or when, but he knows he's searching for something, for someone, as he's called on and on, all across the universe.
He always finds him.
Eddie.

Summary
“Harrington,” he croaks - god why, why do I have to sound like that in front of him - he clears his throat, continuing, “you couldn’t have done me a favour and let me die in that shithole, spare me from Dustin?”
Steve finally turns to look at him, grinning madly. Fuck, Eddie thinks, fuck this is so unfair. You’re just standing there looking at me like that, smiling, all broad and pretty and scarred up, fuuuck.

Alternatively titled: the Steve Harrington bisexual crashout of 1986. Because vecna might be dead- but repressing your feelings (and trying therapeutic D&D with the direct cause of your identity crisis)- is quite enough to be getting on with.

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
The problem is that once you know it's there — the world that lurks under the world — you can't ever go back to being normal again, no matter how much you want it. No matter how desperate you are to just go back to being the man (the boy) you were before. Sometimes, lying awake in the middle of the night, tracing the ragged scars on his side, the echo of the friction burn around his throat, Steve finds himself thinking back and back, past Family Video and Scoops, Ahoy!, back to when the most important thing on his mind was whether Nancy Wheeler actually wanted to make out with him. When he was still King Steve. When he could hide in that, and feel safe.
He thinks about how, sometimes, his head feels heavier without a crown.
*
Since everything that happened in the Upside Down, Steve hasn't been able to get Eddie Munson off his mind.

Summary
Good things don’t happen to Eddie Munson, and he’s very aware of the fact.
That’s kinda the whole foundation of who he is as a person at this point: don’t expect good things to happen. He rolls with it. He makes glitter out of the shit. He lives in his own fantasy because reality has pretty much always sucked since, likely, before he can remember.
Good things don’t happen to Eddie Munson, so he has no idea how to wrap his head around Steve Harrington’s sudden appearance in his life as an unmovable fixture.
No fucking clue.

Summary
“Yeah, great job, Henderson,” Steve says. “Risk your life for the ticking time bomb. I don’t foresee a way this can go wrong at all.”
“Uh, no man left behind,” Dustin argues, which would be kinda sweet, except, “even the ones with a hundred murder charges.”
“Thanks, dude,” Eddie says to him, anyway. In his peripheral, Steve rolls his eyes.
or, Eddie escapes the Upside Down. Problem is, he’s still wanted for—well. Pretty much everything. So he hides out in Steve's basement.

Summary
Under a much different circumstance, Eddie would have loved to have Steve’s eyes looking over him like that, would love to have that determination focused on him, but Eddie is very much dying, he knows it, so he smiles at Steve’s misplaced confidence instead, “High expectations, Stevie. Where’d you learn to swing like that anyway?”
“I’ll tell you,” Steve’s voice is a bit shaky, his tone wavering, even as he puts on a brave face, “but you have to stay alive, Munson.”
If he had more strength, he’d consider testing his luck one last time, tease Steve by asking if he swings for Eddie’s team, but- he’s tired.
Dying young. What a fucking nightmare.
Or, what if the Party defeats Vecna in time, and Eddie lives?

Summary
Steve watches the kids in the lake. Mike splashes Lucas and turns tail to try and wade away before getting tackled into the water. Max and El laugh, arms linked, and giggle something that Steve can’t quite make out. Dustin is standing shin deep and closer to the shore. He has one hand on his hip while the other is flung out toward the wrestling boys.
“He really takes after you, huh?”
Eddie’s voice startles Steve and he rips his eyes away to crane his neck around. Eddie is looking out toward the lake, eyes locked on Dustin.
“Yeah, like mother like son, blah blah blah,” Steve chuckles.
Eddie bites his lip in a smile and holds up his lotion-coated hands. “Yeah, pretty much. Ready to let me get my hands on you?”
“Well, I wouldn’t be opposed to a little begging, but sure,” Steve shrugs, tossing Eddie a look with the tilt of his head and raised eyebrows. Eddie takes a step forward and leans in, lips close to Steve’s ear.
“I don’t beg,” he whispers.
Or
Steve takes his 11 closest friends on a trip to the lake, and unexpectedly falls in love.

Summary
Steve almost whispers, “We’re, uh… we’re doing this then?”
Eddie swallows, pretends it’s not basically a gulp. He nods, pretends it’s not a little frantic.
“You’re sure?” Steve says, moving closer to Eddie as if to test the waters.
“Yes,” Eddie says.
Steve closes the rest of the distance so they’re sitting with their legs pressed against each other. He tentatively reaches out, taking hold of Eddie’s hand where it rests on his knee, like it’s the easiest way to establish physical contact.
Steve looks up at him, earnest as Eddie’s ever seen him. “You’re totally, completely, and one-hundred percent sure you want to do this?”
Eddie tries and fails not to roll his eyes and groan.
“Like I said, I am sure, so please, for the love of all that is good and holy, do not make me beg you to fuck me,” Eddie says, grateful that his voice isn’t shaking like the rest of his body.
(or: Eddie tries not to lose his ever loving mind when his best friend Steve offers to take his virginity)

Summary
"She’s taking a sip, dry and sharp on her tongue, when the doorbell rings a floor above, and she hears distantly Steve’s open delight, Robin, Dustin, back from the shit I won’t understand?
I’m a lesbian, Nancy thinks, taking another sip of wine. Eddie clinks his glass against hers and sneaks a slice of chorizo from Steve’s chopping board, tapping a finger against the side of his nose, shh, don’t tell, the way normal couples keep their secrets, the way honesty is earned and not borne on the back of a lie.
Love is a battle I can win. Nancy turns to face the door."
// Christmas 1994. Nancy faces her fears.

Steve is looking at him, awed. He stares at Eddie’s ribs like they have the answers to all his questions etched between them. Like there’s revelation written in between the fading whorls where his wounds knit together over the past year.
He reaches out, soft and slow- the way you approach a wounded dog. Don’t bite me, his hands are saying- I want to show you gentle touch.

Summary
"Ugh, Harrington, you’re really… You’re so horribly straight, aren’t you."
"What’s that supposed to mean?!"
"It means…" Eddie drops his hands and takes a deep breath and when he looks at Steve his face looks… different. None of that usual Eddie attitude. In a voice much softer, eyes cast low, he says, "It means, when a guy tells another guy that they’re gay, it’s often because… Jesus fucking Christ." He sighs, rubs his hand over his jeans, swallows. "I’m into you. That’s all."
*
It's the summer after Vecna, everyone is figuring their shit out, and Steve learns that Eddie Munson is apparently into him.
