    Summary

    “I just thought you might…what if you took a couple more days to get to El Paso? I found some cool spots for you to check out. If you wanted. Kinda like a mini road trip.”

    Eddie sits gingerly in a plastic pool chair. Listens to the interstate howl. He misses Christopher at a cellular level. Needs to be with him like he needs oxygen to survive.

    He and Buck breathe at each other over the phone. Eddie picks at a loose filament of plastic on the arm of his chair.

    A few days won’t change anything. Not really. And it feels like Buck might need him to say yes to this. Or at least that’s the excuse Eddie’s going to give himself.

     

    or: Eddie drives to Texas to become the man his son deserves. Buck talks him through it.

    Summary

    The real reason Steve never really dates anymore is this: the nightmares and the secrets behind them.

    In the middle of the night, reeling from bad dreams, Steve properly starts on the mixtape Eddie made for him. Master of Puppets made Eddie feel invincible once. Maybe Steve can borrow that feeling for one night.

    or, steve is pretty convinced eddie now hates him. turns out eddie has the opposite problem.

    Summary

    Robin Buckley is a lesbian.
    And Eddie Munson is gay.

    And they’re dating.
    Well, at least to the outside world.
    And to a very, (very) confused Steve.

     

    “I told Steve Harrington you’re my boyfriend.” Through the receiver. Alien words through plastic. He wants to laugh, really he does, but all he can manage is a bit of stunned silence until

    “Why the hell would you do that?” With no malice. Not even really a tone to his voice other than curiosity. He of all people shouldn’t really have to ask, because he already knew the answer. He was a liar too.

    “I panicked” she says, a shuffling on the other end. “He was getting all… mushy, saying stuff about feelings..”

    “For you?”

    “I know, right, can you believe it?

    “You don’t think you could have told him the truth?” He asks, and there’s silence beneath the static. “Seems like you two are real close.”

    And she sighs, and she lets out a noise of frustration that Eddie knows all too well, when you want to tell someone something, need to, and you can’t. You just can’t.
    Because it’s Hawkins Indiana and sometimes you have to keep your mouth shut just to stay safe.

    Steve finds an incredible knack for taking punches that should be for someone else. Discovers that he doesn't mind it as much as he probably should, but that's only because he can give just as good as he can take.
