Summary
It’s not that Steve specifically planned on not spending the night.
Not that he planned much at all about how last night shook out, but: he hadn’t planned to stay.
Like…in this bed. This bed-that’s-not-his.
It’s just, one: he almost never does. Stay, that is.
But also, and not insignificantly, point number two: he’d walked home with Eddie, The Freak, Munson—on the promise of his uncle working and never noticing a thing. Whatever ended up counting as ‘a thing’. And Steve: he’d still been nursing the sharper cracks in his heart over what Nancy had done, but also?
Those sharp bits had already started to sand their way back into regular shapes, fewer broken pieces to cobble together. He’d clambered loud and laughing out of that party, certainly not drunk to be anything but wholly honest, and just…fuck, you know?
Which, Steve wants it written down somewhere in the universe that he hadn’t come back with Eddie to fuck.
Not…intentionally.
—
Or: Steve escapes an impromptu seven-minutes-in-heaven/first kiss scenario at THAT Halloween party…with Eddie.
This is the morning after.
