    Summary

    “Be real though, Ed. Harrington? You can’t actually be serious, here.”

    Steve doesn’t like to eavesdrop, like, on principle.

    Which is to say he totally does it.

    He just doesn’t wholly approve of it, or think it’s a very good habit to have…while still doing it.

    “You got me,” Eddie sighs, longer and deeper than can be taken wholly seriously. “I’m running my longest successful con to date.”

    -

    Or: Eddie’s bandmates confront him about his relationship with Steve. After practice. A particular practice that Steve’s picking Eddie up from because Eddie’s van is in the shop.

    And, well…Steve’s already there waiting and can definitely hear everything being said.

    By everyone.

    Summary

    Steve,
    This is a new low for me, you know that? Of course you don't. You're never going to read this.
    There's this thing I do, you see, whenever I can't get someone out of my head. I write them a letter I never intend to send.
    Apparently it's your turn now-
    ***
    Eddie's never intended for any of his love letters to see the light of day ever again. Once they went into the box, they stayed there.
    But then the box goes missing.
    And then Steve Harrington shows up at Eddie's lunch table, asking to join them.

    Summary

    Steve leans forward quickly, wrapping a hand around Eddie’s gloved wrist. Eddie’s visor snaps around immediately, opaque black viewport trained intensely on Steve’s hand. He doesn’t let go. Kind of impressed with his own bravery, instead, he gives Eddie’s wrist a squeeze.

    “Sit down for a second,” he says. Like this is no big deal. Like he makes a habit of putting his hands on a Mandalorian, like he’s used to the way the bones of Eddie’s wrist feel vulnerable and slight in his hand, a reminder that under all that matte-black armor, Steve suspects he’s actually kind of a wiry type.

    Steve’s been suspecting about that kind of stuff a lot. What started as a few idle thoughts watching Eddie and Dustin drill in the little scrubland yard behind his hut have become a lot, uh. More persistent. It’s starting to become a problem.

    Summary

    Something like hurt flashes across Steve’s face before it frosts over. This is the face he’s used to see on Steve. Cold and distant. “I- whatever, man. I don’t even know why I thought…” but Steve doesn’t finish his sentence. He just shakes his head and turns his back on Eddie, heading back the way he came.

    Eddie and Steve talk for the first time since their breakup two and a half years ago. It goes how Eddie thought it would, until it doesn't.

    Summary

    Rumors of Steve’s pending engagement threaten to splinter the post-Vecna bliss with a harsh dose of reality:

    1. Steve Harrington is nothing more than a bargaining chip to his parents.
    2. His friends can’t relate, or worse, don’t understand.
    3. The most unlikely of people can show up in your corner.
