prompt: three | wc: 333 | rated: G | tags: established relationship, steve is weak for eddie's puppy eyes, eddie is a menace but steve loves him for it

Three years.

It's been three fucking years.

You'd think Steve has learned his lesson by now but somehow, Eddie still manages to surprise him. To catch him completely off guard and make him question everything he knows about the man he's been sharing a bed and a life with for so long.

Because when he enters their home, tired from work and ready to waste away in front of the TV for the rest of the evening, he's greeted by two pairs of puppy dog eyes.

   "Babe. What did you do?"

Eddie looks at him, all innocent and sweet.

   "His name is Dio. Well, the lady at the shelter said his former owners called him Rocky. But I like Dio more. And I think he likes it, too."

As if to agree, the dog Eddie holds in his arms starts wagging its tail, happily nuzzling and licking his face.

   "Can we- I don't know. Maybe take a few steps back so you can explain to me again why the fuck there's a dog in our house?"

Eddie has the audacity to shush him, covering the dog's ears with one hand.

   "Steve! No swearing in front of the child, please."

    The- what?

Steve's going to strangle him.

   "He's only three," Eddie says, as if that explains anything.

   "I'll ask again." Steve tries to sound annoyed but he knows he's probably failing. "Whose dog is that?"

   "He's our dog!"

Steve pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs defeated. He's weak, can't fight the power of Eddie's big, beautiful eyes when he looks at him like that.

   "I don't wanna hear a single word about it being too early, or too hot, or too rainy outside to go on walks. He's your responsibility."

Without another word, Steve heads to the bathroom, biting down a smile when he hears Eddie whisper, "I told you he couldn't resist the look. That's how I convinced him to be my boyfriend. And now he loves me more than anything."

Steve spends his days trying to get a good grade in boyfriend, something that’s both normal to want and possible to achieve

Steve, as soon as Robin answers the phone: I know. I know. I'm fine. Everything is fine.

Steve: I was crossing the street and a car clipped me* but it's fine. I’m fine.

Steve: I even went to the hospital** as a precaution***. They said I’m fine. I even met a guy****

Robin: You have a date with a doctor?

Steve:

Steve: Yeah, sure. Something like that***

*flew over the hood

**by ambulance

***because he was unconscious

****Eddie Munson aka Corroded Coffin guitarist aka the guy that hit Steve with his car aka not a doctor just a guy in a doctor who shirt

[morganbritton132]

Eddie, simultaneously, on the phone to Wayne: I KILLED A MAN.*

Eddie: I saw a man running with no shirt on and a hairy chest and then I hit him.

Eddie: With my van!

Eddie: AND HE DIED.**

Wayne:

Eddie: I have a date with him on Friday.***

*He did not

**Not dead

***At Enzo's!

Steve’s singing quietly under his breath and eddie’s just 🤩 completely distracted.

as always, inspired by @sparklyslug 💕

[nancywheelesbian]

Steve who thinks bullying is flirting so he takes all of Eddie’s behavior towards him S4 and before as flirting but when they start to really become friends and Eddie’s being nicer to him he’s like “why doesn’t he like me anymore 😭🥺”

[mae-silcha]

[nancywheelesbian]

Imagine one of the guys hiding in the boys bathroom to cry/have a panic attack but then it looks empty. So Steddie burst in and they end up hearing them make out and have to decide whether to wait for them to leave or burst out and embarrass themself

[mialoveseddie]

Eddie hates dentists.. He’s got a cavity he’s been ignoring for months because the last time someone stuck tools in his mouth was years ago and Steve finds out and goes full mom mode telling him. “I’ll drive you and I’ll sit in the waiting room then after I’ll buy you ice cream after if you go.”

Eddie scoffs, kicks his feet up on Steve’s coffee table. “Dude, I’m not five. I don’t need a bribe.” But then three days later he shows up at Steve’s door at 8am with his arms crossed. “Well? You better get me ice cream, Harrington I want Rocky Road with Two scoops. I’m not getting drilled for nothing.” Steve just grins and grabs his keys. “Knew you’d come around, Munson.”

[shares-a-vest]

Eddie finally convinces his bandmates to incorporate some of his songs about Steve onto a new demo.

When they scrape together enough cash to record something, the Corroded Coffin boys spend half their session in the sound booth side-eyeing their lead singer over his lyrics. Half of which are sappy love confessions barely masquerading as metal tunes, the other, pornographic filth.

Eddie of course requests a copy be made for Steve, which he delivers to his boyfriend's house before scuttling away to recover from his self-inflicted embarrassment for three to five business days.

Steve clamours for his walkman and headphones, settles on his bedspread and listens straight away in the privacy of his room.

He hears Eddie warbling away about him. Yeah sure, some of it is incoherent over the shredding guitar and powerful drum beat. He isn't sure if half of it is 'good' metal.

But he definitely pays attention to the oh-so clear lyrics about their bedroom escapades. What Eddie likes to do to Steve. Declarations about how Eddie loves the noises he pulls from Steve. Descriptions of his body. How it was made to take him. How Steve is left a writhing pile of goo beneath him and –

Steve doesn't know if he should run for the phone and demand Eddie get his ass back over here to plow him into the mattress, orrr wait for later and just jerk off now...

[tellme-astory]

Somewhere between S4 & S5

Eddie getting wound up in a “girl talk” conversation with Robin and Nancy talking about the cutest and most annoying things their partners do.

Robin: “Yeah he always left the cap off the toothpaste when he lived with me too.”

Eddie: “Right? It’s infuriating!”

Robin: (leaning in conspiratorially) “Okay so what’s the cutest thing Steve does.”

Eddie: face softly screws up as he thinks. Then a sly smile touches his lips

Steve casually strolls back into the room behind him.

Eddie: “He makes the cutest face, and his voice goes up a couple of octaves right before he tells me he’s gonna . . .”

Steve: 😳 “Eddie!!”

Eddie: (flinches)” What? That’s what you do before you sneeze!”

Robin: 🤨 🙉

Steve: 😬

Eddie: “What did you think I was gonna say?” 😳

Steve: ☺️😑

Eddie: (catching on) “Ohhhhhhh.” 😏

Steve: (Shakes his head)

Eddie smirks. He stands up and takes Steve by the hand and leads him out of the room.

Steve: 😯 “Wait, where’re we going? The game’s about to start.”

Eddie: “I think I need to study your face some more. (chuckles) You know, for science.”

Robin: “Gross!!” 🤢

[offbeatrinkydink]

Love at first sight doesn't exist or that's what Eddie thought before he saw Steve. It was the summer before Eddie's first senior year and the Swim Team was having a car wash fundraiser. He would never normally support a sports team, financially or otherwise, but just taking a quick drive past wouldn't hurt, not when they were all in their swimsuits or at least they were supposed to be. But all of the guys had seemingly chickened out, putting on t-shirts and swim trunks. That was except for the one Adonis among them. He almost missed him, leaning over the hood of a station wagon, with nothing but a tiny speedo covering that perfect ass. Then the man turned around, his cropped Hawkins High Swim Team shirt almost see-through from the suds. Eddie hooked a uie and pulled right into the MotoMart parking lot.

By some twist of fate, the still dripping wet God was the one to check him out, taking his $5, and thanking him for his support. "Oh yeah, go Tigers!" Eddie responded, his soul suddenly alight with school spirit.

"You go to Hawkins?"

"Yeah."

"I thought you looked familiar. I'm Steve," he said, offering his hand through the open window.

"Eddie," was all he could think to respond.

"Nice to meet you, Eddie," Steve smiled, pulling his arm away. "Cool van, by the way." The girl in front of him was waving Eddie forward but he couldn't seem to remember how to put the van back in drive, not while Steve's eyes were on him. Then the other man slapped the door, adding a "see you around" as he stepped back and the van lurched away.

Eddie ended up spending $15 of his own money that day, next to take Wayne's truck through, than Jeff's car, just for a few more brief glimpses of Steve's ass in that speedo or a teaser of the abs that lay under that shirt. He was about to beg his neighbor, an older lady with a beat up Cadillac, if he could borrow it, just for a few minutes, he promised he'd bring it back clean, when he noticed that the team was packing up their supplies, pouring out their buckets of soapy water and shoving their sponges in to them for safekeeping.

It would be almost two years before Eddie would get the chance to see Steve's abs in their full glory. Two miserable years with only his memories and his hands to keep him company. Luckily for Eddie, he had a near photographic memory so they got the job done just fine in the meantime.

there’s no way that it’s not going there by backtobeingbasic (@iwanturvideouhhuh on tumblr)

explicit ✴︎ 19.5k words ✴︎ complete ✴︎ fluffy ✴︎ canon divergent

╰┈➤ why i like it: the slow build-up of this fic was just delicious. the author really has a knack of hinting at to the reader how characters are feeling without the narrating character connecting the dots, which makes the whole slow burn even moooore satisfying. steve and eddie challenge themselves through a really fun game of gay chicken here, and they both win/lose, which is the best outcome. such a fun read!

author's summary:

“Alright,” Eddie says eventually, “Wheeler, your turn. Truth or dare.” “Truth,” she says, calm as ever. “Boring,” he drags out, though his eyes narrow just slightly, like he’s already making something up. “Fine, then. Let’s make this interesting, shall we?” Eddie gets that wicked, mischievous look whenever he’s about to say something unhinged, something he knows he shouldn’t. And then he moves his gaze past Robin, across Jonathan, until it finally lands on Steve. He grins. “Okay, Nance,” Eddie says, leaning forward to rest his elbows on his knees. “Confirm or deny something for me real quick.” Eddie waves a hand in Steve’s direction and smiles sweetly. “You know, there’s been talk. Rumors. Legend. Whispers in the wind. Is Harrington’s oh so famous reputation real —“ Then just little more pointed: “— or is it all just high school gossip?” or, steve finds out he has a crush on his best friend after a game of truth or dare

if you like the fic, let the author know! comments and kudos go a long way <3

My brain will Steddify everything it’s getting concerning

Steve tries to fight Jason for calling Eddie a freak and Eddie breaks it up like. “I am a freak. Find something else to fight about”

[humani-dar-te]

I want Steddie just getting along and being gradually drawn to each other. Sure, the flirting pretty much still exists, but it's just a part of it and it doesn't really get intense quickly, so neither feel pressured to make a move or go into flight mode and just enjoy and look at each other fondly.

I want them planning silly mischiefs around Hawkins and pranking the kids together. I want them laughing so hard until they're breathless at stupid, almost non-existent things. I want them accidentally falling asleep on each others' shoulders while watching a movie and settling for sharing the couch 'cause their blankets are already there. I want Eddie teaching Steve how to play videogames. I want them blasting up some rock band they settled for a middle ground between their music taste on the road while Steve drives and Eddie almost climbs out of the window and screams cause life is really good when they're together.
