steve harrington is actually the biggest brat alive and only ever hid that side of himself once he hit highschool until one eddie munson crashes head first into steves life, aggravating and poking fun at steve to no end. and steve just wants to fucking stomp his feet on the ground and whine and tell eddie to shut the fuck up because steve is not a bad guy.
but he cant do that because heās almost 20 and there are much less whiney tweens surrounding them, tweens that would definitely loose all (if they had any) respect for him.
but then eddie teases him and messes with his hair is always smirking at him with this dark look in his eyes, like he wants to eat steve whole.
and that also makes steve wanna bitch and whine and stomp his foot on the ground because,
āwhy,ā steve drags the word out, ādo you keep looking at me like that, munson.ā his arms are tightly crossed over his chest as he glares at eddie.
eddie sits back and has the fucking audacity to laugh. ābecause youāre cute when you get all pouty.ā
and steve stutters, just a bit, then cools his expression. āfuck off, iām not cute.ā he definitely isnāt whining. āor pouty.ā
āyou sure, sweetheart?ā and eddie is up, in front of steve in an instant, crowding his space. āthis lil scrunch between your eyebrows and this cute frown say otherwise.ā
eddieās fingers trace across steveās face; over his forehead, down his nose, over both of his lips.
steveās heart is fucking racing. so he slaps eddieās hand away, āknock it off.ā he is definitely whining now. he is trying so hard not to stop his foot and tell eddie to back up.
like eddie can read is stupid mind, he backs up and lets his hand drop to his side. heās smiling, like he figured something out - solved some mystery puzzle that makes up steves attitude problem, maybe.
āokay.ā he says simply. āknocking it off.ā and heās off, sitting back down comfortably, like he didnāt just make steveās brain short-circuit for 30 secondās.
steve did, in fact, stomp his foot twice before heading to the bathroom to scream into a hand towel and figure out a way to get back a munson.
