    Summary

    Steve likes Eddie in the dark.

    He likes him pressed flush against an empty classroom door. Likes him laid out on the couch of eddies trailer. Steve likes Eddie looking over him in his bed or Eddie’s van. He likes to pull at the long curls that curtain around him when Eddie looms over him. He likes to hook his ankles behind his back and cry out at the praises said in his ear. Steve likes to hear the way his moans bounce out around his own car, told Eddie once they sound even better than the girls who’d been in it before.

    Steve likes Eddie like a dirty secret.

    And well, Eddie just likes Steve.

     

    ------
    In which Steve and Eddie get drunk, have sex, and then keep having sex. Steve is an idiot who doesn't show that he cares about Eddie past the sex. Eddie is an idiot who can't catch onto the few hints that were dropped. Robin clocks them immediately and thinks they're dumb.

    I wrote this while listening to Wavvy by Lav on repeat. It was very self indulgent, I wrote what I wanted because why not.

    Summary

    Well, everything dies, baby that's a fact
    But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
    Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
    And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

    Oh, meet me tonight in Atlantic City
    — Bruce Springsteen, “Atlantic City”

    Summary

    “Why didn’t either of you tell us you were dating?”

    He looks so hurt and indignant in the way only Dustin can, and maybe it’s not too late to run out after Steve and make their case for the beers again if it means the kid’ll stop frowning and looking at Eddie like that. It takes a minute for his words to sink in.

    Eddie blinks. “What.”

    “What do you mean, what? You kissed!”

    “No, we didn’t,” Eddie scoffs.

    Except, yes, they did. Realization crashes over him, the force of it stunning him into silence.

    Steve kissed him. On the lips. Like it was nothing, like it was something they did every day.

    And Eddie hadn’t even blinked or shoved him away or registered it at all, just returned the kiss and went right back to bossing Steve around, as if the whole fucking thing was the most natural thing in the world.

    Fuck.
