    Summary

    Eddie spins on his heel in the middle of the room, slowly taking in the space before he fixes Steve with an awkward, closed-mouth smile. Steve feels himself return it. Ringed fingers curl and straighten compulsively by Eddie's side as he tilts his head.

    “And we’re sure there are no other rooms?”

    Steve feels the smile slide off his face.

     
    OR
     

    In the aftermath of their final battle against Vecna, Hawkins is put under quarantine. Steve and Eddie bunk up.

    Summary

    But he didn’t count on the fact there was one person in the room who, besides Eleven and Hopper, had the reason to be the most stir-crazy of them all — and Munson had practically made antagonizing Steve into an even bigger pastime than a professional goddamn sport.

    There were a variety of one liners he liked to deploy when Steve would roll his eyes or let loose a huff of annoyance.

    “What’s got your panties in a twist, Harrington?” he would ask, or, “Baby skip his nap today?”

    A personal favorite of his seemed to be some variation of asking if it was Steve’s time of the month. “You on your period, sweetheart?” he’ll ask. It never failed to kill with the boys, who would fall all over themselves laughing when he asked — usually after whatever meeting they were in, because it also never failed to get Nancy apoplectic. Munson, to his credit, had only needed twice to learn to keep that one way under his breath and out of her earshot for fear she’d shoot his nuts off.

    These questions also had the unique ability to make Steve as red as a fucking tomato which, like, fuck him, he guessed.

    In which Steve learns a thing or two, by doing a thing or two.

    Summary

    “Steve, I’ve solved your problem.”

    “Huh?”

    “I’ve found your dreamboat. Your perfect match, your other half- fits your type to a t. Literally right now, you could walk over and proposition this person to bear your six offspring and sail off into the sunset together in a shitty RV.”

    Steve blinks at her bemusedly, and then she points out beyond the pool- where Eddie Munson sits in the grass, smiling lazily as El and little Holly Wheeler adorn him in daisy chains, giggling as he bows to each of them, adjusting his flowery crown.

    Steve groans, face in his palms. 

    “Yeah,” he laughs dryly, “if only Eddie was a chick, huh?”

    five times steve laments over the fact that eddie would be the perfect partner if he was a girl, and one time where he realises that’s no longer an issue for him
