Fic where Steve gets dumped at the airport before they’re supposed to board a flight home for his high school reunion which is just -
“Great,” He says to no one. To the empty space his fiancé had been. To everyone still clearly listening in. “That’s just great.”
He’s on the reunion committee.
He helped plan this reunion.
Whats he supposed to tell everyone now?
That he moved out to prove that he could make it on his own and couldn’t? That he ended up with a shitty job at his dad’s shittiest subsidiary as a result? That the only good thing going in his life was his engagement and turns out they’d been cheating on him the whole time??
“Tough break,” The guy next to him says. “I’ve never seen anyone run through an airport to dump someone. That’s crazy.”
“That’s like, a reverse romcom,”The guy continues. “That was a hate-tragedy.”
“Yes, thank you,” Steve bites out. “I know, okay? I know, I’m a peaked on high school loser incapable of doing anything right. I’m sure enough people will remind me over the weekend, so I don’t need some rando-“
“Some rando named Eddie to remind me, okay?”
“Thanks not what I’m doing,” Eddie grins. “I’m offering a solution.”
Steve raises a eyebrow, “Am I being solicited?”
“No,” Eddie says. “Well, a little but listen. My flight has been delayed three times and I’ve got nothing better to do. I’ll go with you to your little shindig, talk you up, be your boyfriend, or whatever.”
Steve’s eyebrow goes higher, “And what do you get out of it?”
“A ride to the closest airport in the morning?”
Silence falls between them before Eddie rolls his eyes. He flops back on his chair like a child about to throw a tantrum.
“Come on,” He complains. “I’m bored and you clearly need someone in your corner. Just say yes.”
In six hours, Steve is going to learn that this Eddie guy isn’t just some rando at the airport. He’s the guitarist in a band that everyone apparently knows.
