Summary
“Eddie.” Steve says around a smile, and it tugs the strings of Eddie’s daydream balloon, sends it slowly floating back to Earth.
“Hm?” He responds, distracted.
Steve opens his eyes, squinting in the late afternoon sun.
“No, ‘Eddie.’ That’s what you’re writing.”
And -
Yeah, it is. Eddie looks down at his finger, the one that’s been operating on autopilot while he’s been lost in his thoughts, and watches as it finishes rounding out the curve of the final e.
Shit.
or - Eddie can't stop touching Steve. Steve doesn't seem to mind.

Summary
Graduation is on the horizon, and Eddie is determined to go out with a bang: Gen Con here we come, baby!
Only, nerd shit cost *real* shit, and the Hellfire Club is forced to reckon with raising funds for their dreams in a more legal and balefully pedestrian way: a bake sale.
Eddie’s already put his blood, swear, and tears into the club, what’s a little dignity for the greater good?
(His dignity goes fully out the window when Steve Harrington shows up in a much too tight Hellfire shirt.)

Summary
All this is to say that Eddie’s a little preoccupied during the whole undressing bit, so when he finally gets his shit together and looks up, there’s Steve Harrington in all his half-naked glory. The skin on his back is pale, reflecting the light from the moon, and it’s covered in a scattering of moles and freckles that Eddie suddenly wants to trace with his tongue, which, where the fuck did that come from?
or - 5 times Steve takes off his shirt in front of Eddie and 1 time Eddie does it for him.

Summary
“You’re my best friend,” she said, voice an angry whisper as she clutched his bruised hands hard enough to hurt. “You are my best friend and you saved my life. Now go the fuck to sleep so we can wake up in an hour and make sure your brain isn’t soup.”
In the dim light of her bedroom, she could just barely see him frown. God, he looked like shit. “What kind of soup?”
--
Robin, Steve, and Eddie doing their best at getting better.

Summary
But then Eddie saw a whole pile of kids get in Harrington’s car, and he overheard Nancy Wheeler say that “Steve was babysitting,” and that image didn’t even remotely align with anything Eddie knew about King Steve “The Hair” Harrington, but he figured he didn’t know much, anyway, and it wasn’t any of his business, when it came down to it.
Eddie thought so little of it, in fact, that he had almost forgotten that Max had apparently been babysat by one Steve Harrington. That is, until Steve Harrington started showing up at the trailer park, picking up Max and driving away, and then Eddie wouldn’t see Max at home again for days on end.
Eddie didn’t know much about babysitting, but he was pretty sure the gigs were more of an hourly thing.
---
Or: Steve takes care of everyone, but Eddie takes care of him.
