    Summary

    Being paid to be a fake boyfriend wasn’t exactly Steve’s dream job, but after his family’s bankruptcy, he was willing to do anything to make ends meet. Thanks to Robin and the website she built for him, he’d had enough clients over the past couple of years to afford a nice apartment and even save some money.

    Everything’s going fine... until Edmund shows up.

    Funny, kind, and a little awkward, Edmund makes Steve start to question everything—including whether it’s time to leave the fake dating job. But Steve isn’t the only one hiding the truth.
    Edmund isn’t really Edmund. His real name is Edward, and he doesn't work at a record store. He’s actually the lead singer of Corroded Coffin.

    But lies have short legs and the truth always catches up.-

    ---

    “Ed wouldn't steal anything, if that’s what you’re asking,” Carol replies, “But he’s a joker. I wouldn’t be surprised if he did it to get back at someone or to make someone laugh.”
    Steve chuckles, “I have no idea if he was acting for a personal vendetta, but I can assure you no one was laughing. That man looked like a mountain. I thought he was about to snap Edmund’s arm like a toothpick!”
    “Edmund?” Carol asks.
    “Yeah. Me. Edmund.”

    Summary

    “And you know what, it’s a real shame, okay?” Eddie continues, pointing at him accusingly “It’s a fucking good book.”

    Steve looks like he’s holding back a smile, “How do you know I haven’t already read it?”

    And well, Eddie hadn’t even considered that.

    “Have you?” He asks, purposely not looking at Steve.

    Steve opens his mouth, but nothing comes out for a second. Eddie rolls his eyes, emptying the dustpan into a trash bin.

    “No, it’s just-...” Steve rushes.

    Eddie raises his eyebrows, looking over expectantly as he ties the trash bag closed.

    “I- um…” Steve cringes at himself, takes a deep breath before continuing, “I…wrote it.”

    Eddie barks out a laugh almost instantly, “Yeah, okay.”

    Summary

    “Okay, cut the shit Steve, I know you’re making fun of me.” Eddie stated like it was a fact, like Steve professing his deepest, darkest secret, was some sort of weird bully tactic.

    “What? No, man. How would I be making fun of you?” Steve asked, completely oblivious.

    Eddie blinked a few times before it dawned on him. “You like guys, too?” He asked hesitantly.

    “I think so.” Steve paused. “Wait, too? You mean to tell me..?”

    Eddie nodded.

    “Oh. Shit.”

    OR

    Eddie has been driving Steve up a wall these past few days. They end up arguing in the break room of Scoops Ahoy. They come out to each other listening to Wham! and then fuck about it.

    Summary

    Steve can hear Dustin beginning to argue with Robin, but he gets distracted at this eerie feeling. He looks around, trying to figure out what's wrong when he hears a chime. He slowly walks to the back of the store, a wave of dread washing over him as he enters the break room. His eyes frantically sweep over the area, looking for any source of danger. The only thing he notices though is a clock Keith must have bought, this is the source of the chime. The clock is creepy and old, the chimes echo in a haunting way. It feels as if he's drawn to it, before he can get to close to it he feels a hand on his shoulder. The unexpected contact scares him, jolting him back to reality. He whirls around to see a concerned Robin and an annoyed Dustin.

    "Dingus? You okay?"

    Summary

    Steve Harrington was always prepared for the worst case scenario. Which is why when Robin Buckley called the landline phone in his small rental apartment on a Tuesday in late June, he was relatively in phased by the state she was in on the other end of the line. What he wasn’t prepared for, however, was Eddie Munson being brought back into his life with the force of a human hurricane.
    The year is 1992 and everyone is getting on with their lives- until a car crash brings Steve back to Hawkins, pulling him and Steve back into each other’s orbit long after their last bristling interaction.

    Alternately: the one where mid 20's Steve and Eddie antagonise the fuck out of each other instead of addressing their unresolved feelings like normal people
