How to Pretend You’re Not in Love with Your Best Friend (and Fail Miserably) by Yellove_8

Summary
Eddie Munson had lived through monsters before — real ones, with teeth and claws and a taste for blood. What he hadn’t prepared for was this: the way Steve Harrington kept pulling him into late-night conversations and half-lit car rides, like Eddie was supposed to know what to do with a heart that never stopped bruising.
It was supposed to be nothing. A slip, a laugh, a kiss that didn’t mean anything. Except Steve kept coming back, and Eddie kept letting him. Indiana still spat the same slurs, the newspapers still screamed about a plague in cities far away, and Eddie still knew better than to hope.
But hope had a habit of sneaking in anyway... tucked in the way Steve looked at him when he thought nobody else was watching.
—
Or: Eddie survived bats, Vecna, and Hawkins. What finally killed him was Steve “definitely straight, except when he isn’t” Harrington and his goddamn smile.

Summary
It’s in the frozen foods aisle that it happens.
It’s wholly unexpected – for Steve, that is. He supposes Eddie must’ve planned the whole thing. Steve thinks he must be a fool for not seeing through Eddie’s undeniably random request to join him on his usual Thursday night grocery shop. Steve has bought the food and drinks for Eddie’s birthday parties for the last six years; he had never not been trusted to do it alone.
They hadn’t even been arguing. Not tonight, at least. They’d joked about the state of pop music in the car, and Eddie is wearing Steve’s sweatshirt. So really, Steve can’t be blamed for being a little blindsided.
“I don’t think this is working,” Eddie says, standing by the shopping cart. Steve is holding a bag of frozen peas.

Summary
"Eddie turns toward the TV, staring at the blank screen. "I’m not gonna do this if you don’t do something for yourself. Not for me, or Robin, or Dustin, or anyone else. You. Be selfish, Steve. What do you want? And I don’t just mean right now, or this weekend. I mean your life. What do you want for your goddamn life?"...He shakes his head. "I don’t know where the hell you’ve been these past few years, but… fucking hell, Steve, just come back. We miss you. I miss you. Come back."
"I’m trying," Steve says, so quietly he barely hears himself.
Eddie stills, doesn’t turn around when he says, "Well, I’ll be here when you do."-or-
20 years post-Vecna Robin invites everyone to Hawkins for a reunion of sorts and Steve realizes while everyone else was thriving he was only surviving. Maybe it's his turn to do something for himself.- Language:
