Steve being the most Mediterranean mf there is. His mom is French and Greek, and his dad is Italian and Spanish. He uses the Mediterranean diet and says "Yamas" instead of cheers. He also has a fuck ton of cheese and wine. He curses people out in French and prefers the music of Greece and Spain to America. He moved around a lot until he was around 15. His TV is turned to the Italian channels. When questioned he will stay silent. They only figure it out when they find a tape of his parents.
Little Steve struggling to stay big, ultimately fails, misses Eddie, Eddie comes and comforts his baby <3
Little!steve ๐งธ

Steve is /tired/
Absolutely exhausted
And he doesnโt know if itโs mentally or physically or both (probably both)
But if another person asks about a movie that he hasnโt seen or where something is when itโs right. In front. Of their face.
Heโs over it
Steve bites at his lip as he stocks tapes back into their place, his mind wondering to being home at the trailer and cuddling with Eddie.
Just being around Eddie.
He misses his teddy
Steve huffs and shakes his head, his mind canโt wonder at work
He hears the bell ring
Why canโt people just stay home?
โHelloo birdie Buckleyโ
Steve whips his head around at the sound of Eddie
โHi Edwardโ
Steve imagines the grimace on Eddieโs face
โGross, okay bucks whereโs my boyโ he asks, Steve just knows heโs leaning on the counter like he always does
โUh horror section? I think? Just call him he can hear-kindaโ
Steve pouts at that โhey! I hear just fineโ
Steve hears Eddie before he sees him, the sound of metal jingling and boots thudding. Eddie bounds around the corner, smiling a bright smile with his cheeks a little flushed
โHi babyโ he greets
Steve suppresses a wide smile, the nickname making his mind fuzz
โHi Edโsโ he looks down at the tapes heโs holding as if they were more interesting
โHi babyโ Eddie says again, but this time as if he knows. Can see right through Steve and tell right away. He can always tell
Steve flushes and turns, Eddie crowds towards him. Steve smiles feeling the pressure on his back. Eddie places a kiss on his shoulder, theyโre safe behind the shelves.
Eddie moves to kiss his neck, nothing but innocent affection steve knows
โMissed you, honeyโ Eddie says softly, hugging Steve from behind
โMissed you too dorkโ steve rolls his eyes and leans back into eddie
โJust wanted to let you know that the guys wanted to go out tonight for guys night? I dunno I think gareth has a crush on this girl at the hideout and needs a wingman. Which-โ Steve feels Eddie huff a laugh into his neck
Steve doesnโt reply, frown setting in. Itโs been a while since Eddieโs went out with them outside of hellfireโฆusually at home with Steve or taking care of him when he regresses
He fights the urge to whine out and fuss. Heโs big!
โSounds fun Edโsโ Steve says softly
โYou okay with that?โ Eddie moves his hands up and massages at Steveโs shoulders
โYeah babe, you should have funโ Steve shrugs lightly, tilting his head to place a kiss at Eddieโs hand
โAre you sure? You..โ Eddie lowers his voice further โYou seem a little small no?โ
Steve bites his lip before responding โJust felt fuzzy for a bit, Iโm okay though itโs already going awayโ Steve tries harder to pronรบnciate his words
Eddie nuzzles into his neck, โYou sure..?โ
Steve letโs out a laugh, mind feeling distant before he tries to focus โYes, Eddie. Iโll be okay, Iโm a big boy. You donโt gotta take care of me all the timeโ
โHey, you know I like doin it. Youโre my baby anywayโ Eddie pulls Steve close in a tight hug. Steve smiles before turning, finally meeting Eddieโs eye
โHeyโ he smiles and placed a kiss on Eddieโs cheek
โHi yourselfโ Eddie kisses his forehead then looks down at his watch โUgh I gotta dip, promised Iโd help dress gareth upโ he rolls his eyes โheโs more of a girl than I amโ Eddie ruffles his curls
Steve snorts โwhatever Munson, get outta hereโ he places his hands on Eddieโs shoulders, Eddie melts for a second before leaning down, he kisses Steve properly. Itโs tender and soft. Steve smiles into the kiss, all the worries melting away
โOkay..Iโll see you later tonight-Iโll try to hurryโ he cups Steveโs cheek. Steve nods, kissing Eddieโs palm
โYou betterโ
It takes another five minutes before Eddie leaves, lasts last kisses shared
Steve feels better after that, his shoulder less tense and his mood much less grumpy
Except it doesnโt last
It starts going down hill again, he has to work a double now that a new hire decided not to show. Robin offers to stay but Steve can tell she doesnโt want to so he shrugs and waves her off. He can handle it (he canโt)
People come in in an extra bad mood. Demanding to know why he sold an r rated film to 12 year olds (a tape which suspiciously had gone missing last week-)
Someone not paying attention when he asks them the usual check out questions.
People coming up and deciding they donโt want a tape and just giving it to him when they could just. Put it back.
And finally, people being upset at prices. As if heโs the one personally deciding prices- he doesnโt even know how that works. I mean do they price based on the film?
Based on how the tape was made? The casing?
Steve shakes his head as he locks up. Heโs tired so so tired. He huffs and pulls at the doors, double checking that they locked. Finally, he gets to his car that has been there since 9:30am.
Itโs 10pm.
he gets in. Shuts the door. Hands places on his steering wheel. He feels his eyes sting with tears
no. You gotta drive
He rubs at his eyes harshly and turns the car on. He can just. Just drive home and put on Scooby doo and eat a bowl of cereal and Steve is driving down the road now. Unfortunately the universe has decided to give him every. Single. Red light
His hands shake as they grip the wheel
Just a bit further-
And the drivers. Itโs as if everyone and their mother didnโt pass their drivers test itโs a small town how do you almost merge into someone?Steveโs eye twitches as he honks at a driver that cut him off.
He takes a deep shaky breath
โJust gotta get home. Home homeโ
He stops again at a light, the last one before more open road that leads right to the trailer park. Steve speeds down the road finally, definitely going 55 in a 45 but fuck it! Eddieโs done worse.
Steve frowns at the thought of Eddie-Eddie isnโt home, heโs with the band. Steve letโs out a whine high in his throat as he turns into the park
Eddieโs not home
he stares sadly at the spot where Eddie parks the van
Heโs alone tonight..
Maybe he should call up the bar and-
Steve bites him lip, hand coming up to fidget with his bottom lip. He canโt do that! Heโs been small before Eddie even told him what it was!
He could do it again
Steve gathers all his usual things. A soft blanket Eddie gifted him, his favorite stuffie Benny, he grabbed a bowl of his favorite cereal (yes everything in his hands) He places the bowl down as he grabs the milk, carefully pouring it and smiles as he pours perfectly. He feels giddiness fill his chest. He goes to call out to Eddie but his smile falls as he remembers
โAlone tโnight, stevieโ he says to himself โwe got this, dids it before an can do itโs againโ
He plots down onto the couch now, arranges Benny into his lap and scoops cereal into his mouth. He nods to himself
โM doin good right benny?โ He whispers down at the little dog stuffie Steve smiles and rubs a hand on its head. He finished eating no problem, places the bowl into the sink like teddy has told him to
He feels proud of himself! If eddie was here heโd definitely give Steve two little stars! Again, Steve frowns at the reminder of Eddieโs absence
โNuh, just gotta wait and then can tell teddy I did good. Put milk, I eats, puts in sinkโ Steve nods with a smile and settles again on the couch, Benny in his lap
โYeah and teddy gonna be so proud, gonna say Iโm goodโ
With that Steve rubs his face into the soft fur of the stuffed animal. He turns the tv on and searches for Scooby doo. He knows by now that thereโs always late showings. As the night goes on, Steveโs eyes get heavy he blinks sleepily at the tv. Heโs not sure how long heโs been watching but itโs the second mystery solved. He blinks his eyes over to the clock on the wall
โLil hand sโhour an..big hand isโฆis min-mmโ Steve takes a deep breath blinking again to get his eyes to focus, he frowns when he finally reads the time
12:23
Eddie said he wouldnโt be back too late, but how late is too late when itโs boys night? Steve letโs out a whine. What if Eddieโs not back until 3am? What if heโs not back later? what if he doesnโt come back? Steve takes a couple quick breaths, hugging benny close. He feels his eyes start to water, hot tears running down his cheeks
โEdโs gonna come back right Benny? Heโs gottaโ he nuzzled into the fur making it wet
what if m too much? And he doesn come back?
Another whine at the thought. Steve swallows harshly. No,,no he knows his teddy heโs just having fun! How could steve worry over silly things when he knows Eddie will be back soon
Just making him take care of you when he gets backs
heโs gonna be too tired to deal with you
Steve frowns and wipes at his cheeks. He canโt let Eddie see him little when he gets home, he is gonna be tired. Too tired to care for him-Steve shouldnโt even need to be cared for
He has to be big, heโs gotta be the one to care for Eddie when he gets back
He huffs and stands, benny and his blanket in hand. He marches right to their room, places the blanket on the bed before leaving Benny on his pillow and makes his way back out
(Before turning right back around and grabbing benny to sit besides him on the couch)
Steve huffs and grabs the remote. Flick through the few channels they have before a late horror movie clicks on. Thats good, itโll make him big
Sadly it doesnโt work
If anything itโs just made Steve smaller. He hides behind his hands then his knees as he balls himself up on the couch.He refuses to grab for benny whose a few inches away. He doesnโt realise how late it is before the trailer door is opened. He jumps slightly, letting out a yelp and covering himself
โStevie?โ
Steveโs basically panting has he lowers his hands he blinks away tears he didnโt know were there
โTeddy?โ He whispers
Eddie frowns, closes the door and toes off his boots before making his way to Steve
โAre you small?โ He asks softly, kneeling down next to the couch. Steve shakes his head and wipes at his cheeks
โIโm bigโ he lowers his voice a bit
Eddie squints his eyes slightly, looks at the hoodie Steveโs wearing, benny next to him then at the tv thatโs still playing the movie. He frowns
โBaby, Whyre you watching a scary movie? Youโre too little for thatโ he grabs the remote and clicks it off
Steve pouts โIโm not little, Iโm bigโ He crosses his arms, fighting the urge to melt at Eddieโs words and fall into his arms
โAnd why are you up so late sugar? Itโs like 1amโ he frowns again, ignoring Steveโs last response
Steve frowns, feels a tug in his chest at Eddieโs frown
youโre making him feel bad
โYou gotta get to bed Edโsโ he whispers
Eddieโs eyebrows furrow
โBaby loveโ he cups at Steveโs cheek
Steve curses at the whine he lets out
โStop Edโs Iโm big!โ He pushes away Eddieโs hand
Eddieโs frown deepens at that, his baby never pushes him away unless somethings really wrong
โYouโre big?โ He asks, moving his hand onto Steveโs knee instead
Steve nods and a soft โmhmmโ
โAre you sure? I was really missing my baby tonightโ Eddie pouts. Steves eyes widen slightly before he looks away
โNot hereโ he shakes his head โbig Steve. Not littleโ
Eddie shuffles closer and pokes at steves tummy,โBut I reaaalyyy missed my steviebabyโ he leans his head onto steves knee. โCanโt I get my baby?โ
Steve hums to himself, more of a grumble โNo cause heโs not hereโ he shakes his head
Eddie huffs before his eyes fall onto benny โWell I guess benny will have to do, Iโll just tell benny heโs been a good boy and give him a little star, I mean the little pup has had such a long day I bet he wants some cuddlesโ
Steve worries at his lip, eyebrows raising with his frown. Eddie hears a quiet whine
โYep, cmon steve we gotta give bennyboy a stickerโ
Steve nods wordlessly as Eddie picks up benny (gently holds him to his chest) Steve crosses his own arms and follows Eddie to their room. He watches Eddie pull out the star sticker pack and grab a little blue star
โYou wanna give it to him?โ Eddie asks softly
โNo! You can do itโ steve huffs and plops onto the bed both his arms and legs crossed. Eddie frowns, feels close but not quite.
โOkay then, here we go benny. For being such a good boy- oh you wanna tell me about your day?โ
Steve turns away from Eddie, clearly grumpy
โAh, you had a bad day? And you feel sad and grumpy? Oh benny itโs okay- thank you for telling me. Good boy for letting me knowโ Eddie pats at the stuffed animals head, looking towards Steve. He sees how scrunched up Steveโs should letโs are. โBaby?โ He says gently โYou wanna talk me whats wrong? Why you were crying honey?โ
Steve mumbles softly, back still towards Eddie
โBabylove I canโt hear youโ he places a hand gently onto Steveโs back
โI want a star!โ Steve turns to him โI want a star cause-causeโ he takes a shakey deep breath โaโcause I had a long day an-an Im upset an work was bad, an people were so mean teddy! Anโ I did the milk and didnโt spill! I ate cereal an i put the bowl in the sink like you saids to! And I was good. I wanna be good tooโ
Eddieโs eyebrows are raised as Steve rambles, he pulls Steve into his chest and holds him close โOh my babyโ he pets at steves hair as the boy sniffles into his chest โYou had such a hard day didnโt you? And you did it all aloneโ he rubs down Steveโs back
Steve nods and wraps his arms around Eddie
โDid alone, robbie went home and I kept workinโ he mumbles
โYou kept working? You had a double?โ Eddie pulls back, Steve whines at the movement
โHaddaโ he nods
โOh Stevieโ Eddie places a kiss onto his forehead โAnd you came home and took care of yourself didnโt you baby? You were a big boy for me and did all that?โ
Steve flushes and nods โcnโI get star?โ Itโs raspy and it makes Eddieโs heart ache
โBaby you can get all the stars you want, Iโm so proud of you baby boy, you did so goodโ he cups Steveโs cheeks and wipes away stray tears โMy good boy, thank you for telling me honey- why didnโt you want to tell me before? Were you little at work? How long have you been smallโ
Steve giggles into his chest then sniffles
โToo many questions teddyโ he tilts his head up and rubs at his eyes
Eddie smiles
โSorry lovely, Iโm just worried. But maybe we can talk about it tomorrow yeah? We can cuddle and get some sleep and sleep in and have a little day for you tomorrow okay?โ
Eddie watches as the tips of Steveโs ears flush red
โMm do you wanna? We can be big an I can drive to Uhmโ Steve blinks up at him โthe the movies? Can have a date?โ
Eddie smiles down at him
โBaby, you had a bad day, you gotta rest and recharge. I donโt think you planning a date would be a good idea right nowโ
Steve pouts up at him โI can be bigโ he grumbles
โI know you can sweetthing but itโs okay to not be big- you know thatโ
โBut-mmphโ steve hides into Eddieโs chest
โBut what Stevie?โ Eddie pets Steveโs hair again, combs his finger through
โfeel bad you take care aโme all the timeโ he shrugs โshould be big an take care of you. Take care of everyoneโ
Eddie rubs down his back and hugs him close
โBaby, the first talk we had about this stuff was because you were taking care of people too much. You gotta let me take care of you yeah? If not whoโs gonna do it Hm? Benny? That puppy is cute but I donโt think he can watch over my baby too muchโ
Steve looks up at him and gasps
โHe can! Benny is good!โ Steve turns to look for the stuffed animal, eddie grabs and hands him to Steve
Steve smiles and nuzzles into the soft fur
โBut I want to take care of you too okay? I like taking care of my baby. Makes me feel good remember? I like helping you. Whats a king without his knight yeah?โ Eddie rubs their noses together, Steve giggles
โYouโre kingโ steve cups at Eddieโs cheek and rubs their noses together again
โNah baby you are, in a good way. Or you wanna be my little prince?โ
Steve giggles, he wraps his arms around Eddieโs shoulders making both of them fall sideways onto the bed
โI can be little Princeโ He nods. โs new I like that oneโ
Eddie brushes away strand of hair fallen over Steveโs face
โNoted little Princeโ he pulls the covers over both of them with some difficulty โDoes the little Prince wanna sleep now?โ Eddie pulls him close into his side
Steve hums โKissesโ he wraps an arm around Eddieโs stomach
โGnight kisses for bennyโ Eddie places a kiss onto the stuffed animals head โAnd Gnight kisses for my babyโ he places a kiss on each cheek then his forehead
โGnight kisses for teddyโ steve mumbles, bringing benny up and tapping Eddieโs cheek
โan Gnight kisses for teddyโ
Eddieโs heart melts as Steve places a kiss on his cheek before settling back down
โMy sweet boyโ he mumbles closing his eyes
They finally drift to sleep around 2am. Holding each other close, Steve nuzzles into eddie even in his sleep
Eddie tightens his grip each time
and If Steve wakes up just as small, less fussy and more smiles
waters so amazing because you can drink it really sloppy style and like spill it all over yourself and it doesnt even leave a stain. you dont even have to wash it out/ . because its already washed
If you hate hearing โeverything happens for a reasonโ, thatโs really valid. And Iโm here to say that some things are fucked up and should never happen. You didnโt deserve it. It should have never happened to you.
i read the hobbit in 3rd grade and i thought it was really lame. however i liked bilbo baggins for some reason and i was fully convinced he was some sort of rabbit/mouse thing until i saw the lotr movies and was really, really confused
#love these guys! they attended the stanwood/camano pride last year and i took so many pictures for the person i am reblogging this from.#i recognize some of the flag carriers from last year too!#pride#local
What? We were spotted at Stanwood Camano Pride? We weren't really officially there...
But fun fact: If you saw that bit where we flew like 15 ginormous flags back to back, that was so that I could get animated GIFs of a bunch of pride flags (especially some of the less common ones) in the hopes of getting them into the Tumblr GIF selector. Like this:
Also fun fact: With all the tons of flags that we flew for that, we actually forgot to do the aro and the ace flags! They were hooked up to a different flagpole and weren't in the bag that we were going through.
And on a related note, we were going to fly the giant ace and aro flags at Cal Anderson during PrideFest last weekend, but again were unable to because they weren't in the bag. They'd inadvertently gotten used at tablecloths for the booth and we didn't notice!
#oh my god this is so funny. i WAS there for the giant flag flying! i saw people filming!#i wanted to ask for a photo with the big seattle aces & aros flag for a friend but i got shy ahaha.#it's so surreal seeing a gif from the area but doubly so seeing one i watched get filmed....#community
That one had to be recorded from the other side because the text only shows one way.
Anyway, if you see this happening again, please ask to get a photo with any of the flags! I was kinda disappointed how few people did want pictures... I feel like I should work with some Pride event to make it an official thing.
