    Summary

    Steve let himself lean the tiniest bit heavier into Eddie’s side, like a plant toward sunlight. His hand slid, slow and unsure, until his fingers found the edge of Eddie’s and curled there, not quite a full grip, but something.

    “Thanks,” he whispered, so quietly Eddie almost missed it.

    “For what?” Eddie murmured back.

    “For… letting me just be–me. I guess?” Steve huffed a small laugh. “That’s so lame. Forget I said that.”

    Eddie squeezed his hand, just once.

    “Anytime,” he said.

    Summary

    Steve Harrington has survived monsters, torture, and war.

    What he doesn’t know how to survive is the quiet afterward.

    So he stops trying.

    By the time Eddie Munson realizes what Steve is doing, the damage is already done. And undoing it will require rules, consent, and a reckoning neither of them is prepared for, years in the making.

    Summary

    Steve had a bad feeling, and this wasn't the first time it had happened.

    For as long as he could remember, he had always had hunches. Hunches about events that hadn't even happened yet but warned him before the shoe could drop. He was used to them. To the bad omens. To the anxiety they brought.

    Maybe, that's why he was as tense as a coiled spring when they entered Hawkins Lab, as gray as decayed as the rest of the Upside Down. But not even a hunch could have prepared him for what happened that day. He couldn't have braced himself for the party splitting up. He couldn't have braced himself for an argument with Dustin, much less the boy's violent reaction at him bringing Eddie into the conversation.

    He couldn't have expected to crack his head open into the ground, nor the world that waited for him when he opened his eyes once again. Neither the spider that bit him, or the powers that would later bring him.

    And when this peculiar world welcomed him, he couldn't help but wonder.

    Was that Munson? In a big sign? Wearing a hero-like costume?

    And why on Earth was he blond?

    Summary

    Every Wednesday, at exactly 9:39 PM, a beat up van swerved into the Family Video parking lot. It would park in the same two spots (yes, two because it nearly always had at least one wheel fully over the line and intruding into the other spot) and the occupant would sit in his car for about a minute with the engine on, the front windows down, and the music blasting just loud enough for Steve to hear from behind the counter. Then, he’d turn off the ignition, hop out, close the door with a little double tap, stub his cigarette out beneath the toe of his sneaker, and at 9:41 exactly, he’d walk through the double doors, the chains dangling from his belt jingling in tandem with the bell, and glance in Steve's direction before turning away to wander down the rows in search of a movie to rent.

    It took everything in Steve not to bang his head against the fucking register every time he saw him.

     

    AKA, Steve Harrington can't stand Eddie Munson. From the rumors of satanism, to the drug dealing, to his infuriating personality, Eddie just seems like trouble. But, as the pair are forced to spend time near one another, feelings of disdain quickly change into a mutual liking. And, to both the boys dismay, deep attraction.
