Summary
The grip he had on Steve’s shirt was strong as he pinned him to the wall, pulling his clothes tight into his fist.
But his eyes…
His face was twisted into a scowl as he glared at Steve with everything he had, but when Steve met those big, beautiful, hazel eyes, he didn’t see the anger or viciousness he was clearly trying to portray, he just looked so scared.
And Steve’s heart went out to him.
It was probably foolish, the guy had him pinned to the wall in his own garage with something sharp pressed against the soft skin of his neck. And yet, the pain and fear he could see in this stranger’s eyes made him just want to gather him close in a hug and let him know that it would all be okay.
God, Robin and Max had always said that his bleeding heart would be the death of him.

Summary
Everyone hears the rumors. Billy Hargrove and Steve Harrington are caught by Old Man Hargrove doing—something. The gossip mill can’t decide on what exactly, but everyone agrees: something gay went down.
A week later, the rundown trailer next door to Eddie is full.
At first, Eddie gets it. Hargrove and Harrington are both assholes, so of course they’re together. Sure, the fact that they’re gay is a bit of a shock but the fact that two dickhead jocks would choose to be together—makes perfect sense. But after weeks and then months of sharing cigarettes with Harrington whenever he needs to escape the screaming fights waiting for him inside, things shift in his head. Eddie doesn’t get it anymore.

Summary
Eddie imagines that Steve Harrington probably thinks that he is real hot shit. On top of being a rich prom king, he is also an eroptomancer. A love seer. A soulseer, some people call them – someone able to see the weird magic that connects people in a predestined shit storm of a craps game. He probably thinks he’s real goddamn special. One in a million special.
It’s actually closer to one in five million, but who’s counting?

He’s fine."

Summary
In which Eddie wants nothing more than to give Steve the gentle kindness he deserves.
——
Apparently, when given the ability to feel comfortable about it, Steve was clingy as fuck. He was all wandering hands and his cheek on Eddie’s shoulder and hips pressed into hips and lingering looks and those horrible jock hugs with the slap on the back at the end and, and - Eddie felt like dying.
“I feel like I’m dying, Robin,” Eddie whines; rubbing his hands down his face.
“You’re so dramatic,” Robin says with an eye roll so powerful he’s surprised she doesn’t fall over by sheer force.

Summary
Steve wakes up the morning of their two-month We-Finally-Got-Our-Shit-Together anniversary to find Eddie staring at him, crouched over at the foot of the bed with his round unblinking eyes like a fucking gargoyle. It should be creepy. Steve is used to this, though, so now it’s just kind of a thing that Eddie does.
“What,” Steve says groggily, wiping the drool from his mouth.
“Nothing, angel, go back to sleep,” Eddie trills.
Or, two months after Steve and Eddie officially get together, Steve finds himself thinking about home, his heart, and how to let go.

Summary
Rumor has it that whenever any one of the seven or so gremlins that Steve has magnanimously decided to adopt sleep over at his ridiculously large and empty house, he’ll get up extra early in the morning and pack them all lunches in brown paper bags. He’ll make them breakfast, too, and drop them off at school with a ruffle of their hair, a slap on their shoulder, or a pep-talk, depending on the kid.
Not that Eddie Munson, of all people, would know anything about it.It's October and Steve starts packing Eddie lunches for work. Eddie doesn't know what to do about it.

Summary
Steve seemed to perk up when Eddie hadn’t outright declined the offer, but his brain was still catching up to the legitimacy of his words, utterly unprepared for the way Steve’s restrained smile now widened as he tipped his head to make his eyes look even more round and beautiful, “But if that’s your only hesitation then let’s move forward to the planning portion of a date.”
Date, Eddie’s mind repeated, sputtering back into motion, date that thing where people - “What - exactly would a date with you look like?”
Or. Bisexual Steve asks out Asexual Eddie and it's as adorable as it sounds.

Summary
“Earth to Eddie,” Steve says, voice light. “Do you copy?”
“Huh?” Eddie blinks, brilliantly articulate. Steve snorts.
“You looked pretty far gone. You good?”
“Yeah—yeah, I’m good.”
The smile Steve gives him is fond, golden, warm enough to melt steel. “Good. ‘Cause don’t think I forgot our deal, Munson. Come on, let’s get you in the pool.”
Eddie gasps, hand to his chest in mock scandal. “Steven. Is this a ploy to get me wet and naked?”
Steve’s already halfway to the house, but he tosses a wink over his shoulder, all smooth confidence. “Believe me, I wouldn’t need a ploy for that.”
Eddie swallows hard—loud enough he’s pretty sure Steve hears it—and for a second he seriously considers bolting in the opposite direction. But his legs move him forward anyway, like they know something his brain hasn’t caught up to yet.
Thin swim trunks suddenly feel like a terrible idea.

Summary
"Steve Harrington is used to touch in the means of getting something. Very rarely is he touched just because; and even then, it’s always so fleeting. He could have sex with the same girl, a new girl, a different girl—a guy, even; he’s not picky—but it always felt so mechanical, so necessary, like it had to happen and then it was over. The skin-to-skin contact was almost like taking an exam; he had to figure this person out, had to find out what made them loud and writhe, and then they’d say he was a good lay, but never return.
He’s sick of it. He just wants the touch to mean something. Or, more accurately, mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. Something simple. Something mundane. Something that said, despite it all, that the person was sticking around."

Summary
“Steve?” Eddie softly calls. Though, it startles Steve anyway. Hazel eyes meet his: bloodshot, glistening, his pupils expanded to their full extent from how dark it is. There’s dark circles under his eyes, heavy eye bags. His skin is pasty underneath the flush. Already looks sick. “What’re you doin’ out here, sweetheart? It’s warmer inside.”
A sniff. Shrugged shoulders. Steve looks back out towards the pool, but his eyes aren’t bouncing over the water—from where Eddie follows them, they appear to be mapping out the horizon line, a blue expanse coated with fog. “My parents called”—he takes a deep pull from the joint and the cigarette paper crackles into use, breathing it into his lungs, puffing it lightly from his nostrils—“they aren’t coming,” Steve croaks, the rest of that smoke billowing from between his chapped lips.

Summary
Still laying in bed. Making marks in the ceiling. Wasting time.
There’s quiet. A gentle rush of wind against his bedroom window. Distant ticks of a grandfather clock he keeps forgetting to dust, a dog barking at something down the driveway, some rustles he can’t quite place. Low hums from the refrigerator. Just easy noise, easier than he’s used to.
His chest weighs. Concave between his pecs, digging in as if something has set itself where it doesn’t belong. Heavy. Too heavy. He takes a breath, but fizzles out with it—nostrils wheezing and mouth dry and his chest just…aching.

Summary
Eddie's nervous. The most nervous he believes he's ever been in his entire life—which is saying something, a lot of somethings. He's put himself in front of crowds, of classmates who have never wanted to hear a single vocal from his lips, walked on tables and shouted profanities, placed himself in the dungeon master chair, and screeched with laughter as he deemed fit. But here, in an apartment he's made with love—with Steve by his side, unexpected and bright like sun on a gloomy, fall day—he's the most nervous he's ever felt.

Summary
He shoves him away slightly. “Harrington,” he chuffs. “Did you just fucking lick me?”
...
“Mmm…maybe I did…maybe I didn’t.”Eddie narrows his eyes, his arms holding Steve out about a foot away, and he quirks a brow. “Why?” he asks slowly.
Shrugging his shoulders, Steve has the audacity to be bashful—almost shy. “You looked good,” he mumbles quietly.

Summary
Steve hefts himself from the mattress, shoving the pregnancy pillow to the side. His feet are throbbing, ankles swollen, everything of him heavier and clumsier than before. Hell, Eddie had told him to stay in bed, just to see if he could get the swelling to go down. But his back aching something this fierce—so horrible it’s like somebody’s standing on his spine with combat boots—he needs it to be fixed, and he only has one solution that comes to mind. Eddie’s sweet, sweet, beautiful hands.
