Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

so what if one time while Dustin was staying back a bit late at hellfire to help clean up because his momma raised him right, he's about to leave when Eddie stops him,

"Hey, idiot don't forget your dice." and he tosses the pouch at Dustin, who barely catches it because he's an unathletic loser. He scoffs and smiles anyway, "Thanks dad."

Before Eddie can process that, Dustin walks out, completely oblivious to the fact that he'd even said the D-word. Eddie stands there for way longer than he should, circling through pride, affection, and offense because he is NOT old enough to be a father!

A few weeks go by, Eddie pretty much forgets about it and chooses not to bring it up, because despite what everyone thinks, he isn't the biggest douchebag in the word. (He still is one of course but not the biggest!) Eddie forgets about it until another hellfire session is over, but Dustin took a little too long, and Steve Harrington comes marching into the school.

"Dude, I told you to be quick today! I promised Max and Lucas I'd take them to the movies!" The perfectly styled brunette started to scold, Eddie found himself a little hot under the collar as he glanced between Dustin and his much taller, much more attractive friend.

Dustin rolled his eyes, "Okay, okay, jesus, you're such a nag, mom." He added the "mom" mockingly, Harrington didn't even bristle. "I'm flattered to be compared to your mother, now move your ass." He demanded, dragging Dustin away by his bag.

Eddie was once again, stuck standing there for a little longer than he should've, before his feet were suddenly moving and he burst into the parking lot and luckily, somehow, Harrington and Dustin weren't in their cars yet.

"Henderson called me dad once!" He shouted over at them, a little out of breath. "If you're his mother I think I owe you a date! Or at least child support!" He called, giving Harrington a sharp grin even though a part of him was horrified at his own actions.

Dustin looked ten times more horrified than Eddie felt, but Steve just turned, glanced Eddie over, and paused. "That can be arranged." He smirked a little before getting in his car, Dustin followed, and even over the engine starting Eddie could hear the kid screeching about dignity or something.

They drove away but Eddie's heart was pounding louder than them turning out of the parking lot.

Eddie had a date with Dustin's mom.

[allsteddie]

Steddie where they meet somewhere around their mid/late 20s and Eddie is convinced he's started dating a single father.

Steve is always talking about the kids. About driving them to school and taking them to doctor appointments or trips. It's sweet, actually, how devoted he obviously is to his kids.

There's Dustin, who Steve is always driving everywhere and bragging about how smart he is. And there's also Max and Erica, his girls who have Steve around their fingers.

And, well, maybe Steve is young to have three kids already, but who's Eddie to judge?

But then Steve is mentioning a Lucas too when he talks about his kids, and a Jane, and okay now Eddie is kinda freaking out. He's been trying to give Steve space and time, to let Steve set the pace and decide when he wants to have the 'do you wanna meet my kids?' conversation, but Eddie can't help but blurt out, "Babe, how many kids do you have?"

Steve looks at him funny, as if Eddie is not making any sense. "What do you mean?"

"You've already mentioned at least five different kids. Is there any more?"

"Oh, they are seven in total."

Seven. Seven fucking kids. How the hell is that even possible? Steve is twenty-six!

"Jesus, how old were you when the first of them was born?"

Understanding glints in Steve's eyes and he laughs so hard that Eddie is a little offended. Who wouldn't be a little frantic after finding out their new boyfriend had seven kids?

"Do you wanna meet them?" Steve asks suddenly, unable to hold back a grin.

An hour later, Eddie finds himself meeting not a bunch of kids but a bunch of grown adults, well in their 20s too, who are very nice and cool but also extremely protective of Steve.

He gets seven shovel talks that day.

“I can’t shake him,” Eddie exasperated as he dropped his bookbag into the empty chair next to Jeff.

“Who?” Jeff asked quietly. There was at least four other tables full in the library’s study hall, but he knows the librarian has it out for Hellfire.

“Harrington,” Eddie hushed.

“Steve?” Jeff asked surprised. The librarian shushed in their direction. Jeff lowered his voice. “That Harrington?”

“Yes,” Eddie stressed. “I — uh —“ he physically lowered himself towards the table as he lowered his voice. “Hooked up with him this weekend and now he won’t leave me alone.”

“Hold up,” Jeff wrinkled his brow. “You’re telling me golden boy king Steve — with you? And now he’s following you around?”

“Like a puppy,” Eddie whined. “The only thing that’s keeping him from here right now is wood shop.”

“Okay, I’m still wrapping my head around this,” Jeff said. “What do you mean you bagged — that and now he won’t leave you alone?”

“Yeah!” Eddie said throwing his hands in the air. “Exactly. I don’t get it either!”

“Boys!” The librarian hushed.

“Was he high?” Jeff whispered.

“I mean we smoked,” Eddie whispered. “But it was barely a buzz. It wouldn’t have affected Gareth and he’s a lightweight.”

“So what are you going to do?” Jeff asked.

“I don’t know,” Eddie groaned. “I’ve tried shaking him but he keeps finding me.”

“Does he got something against you?” Jeff asked. “Is he like — blackmailing you?”

“Jeff —“ Eddie looked around before lowering down on the table and voice so quiet yet high pitched panic. “He sucked my dick. I got more blackmail on him.”

“What?”

“Boys!” The librarian snapped. “One more interruption and you can leave —“

The two looked at each other before breaking out into shit-eating grins.

“Balls!” “Cock!”

“Get out!”

Eddie and Jeff scrambled to pick up their items before dashing out of the library laughing, forgetting the reason that they were kicked out in the first place.

———

Hawkins High was no exception to cliques, each table was practically assigned to a group. The jocks, band geeks, the popular kids, and Hellfire Club. There’s hardly any deviation. Except —

“Eddie!”

Eddie snapped his head up, watching Steve pass by his friends’ table to set his lunch tray next to Eddie’s.

“Missed you in English today,” Steve said, as if they normally interacted in their English class. Eddie looked over Steve’s shoulder to Tommy Hagan, who looked like he was about to explode.

“Yeah,” Eddie said. “Got kicked out of study hall. Took a little adventure into town.”

“You should’ve told me,” Steve pouted. Honest to god pouted. “I would’ve went with you.”

“Jeff went with me,” Eddie said, throwing his thumb over his shoulder to Jeff sitting beside him. He quickly glanced, catching Jeff’s wide eyes. The little shit didn’t believe him. “He’s my best friend since middle school.”

“Steve,” Steve said, introducing himself.

“Yeah,” Jeff nodded. “We — uh — share home ec together.”

“Right,” Steve said. “You made those killer brownies last month.”

“Yeah,” Jeff said. “There — uh — a special recipe of mine.”

“Did you make weed brownies in class?” Eddie asked.

“No,” Jeff grinned. “I made weed brownies without weed in them.”

“So not special special brownies,” Eddie joked.

Steve snorted his drink. It wasn’t even that funny of a joke.

“Hey.”

The table turned to Gareth’s big ass frown and Freak, standing at the edge of the table.

“What’s he doing here?”

“He’s Eddie’s new friend,” Jeff said. Eddie shot Jeff a glare. “He’s having lunch with us today.”

“Steve,” Steve introduced himself again.

Gareth sat down with a huff.

“Freak,” Freak kindly introduced himself. Steve glanced at Eddie wide-eyed.

“Frank is his government name,” Eddie explained. “Some dick in his freshman English class read his name wrong and it stuck.”

“A badge of pride,” Freak grinned.

“Nice to meet you guys,” Steve said.

“Thanks for letting me sit with you for lunch.”

“You can’t sit with your own friends?” Gareth sneered. Eddie guessed if anyone was going to ask Steve the obvious questions no one wanted to ask, it would be Gareth.

“I mean I can,” Steve shrugged. “Just wanted to spend time with Eddie.”

Eddie took another glance towards Tommy Hagan and his table. Eddie knew Tommy and Steve had a falling out and that Tommy seemed to follow Hargrove around, but after winter break the two seemed to be at least on talking terms when Hargrove wasn’t around.

Eddie felt a hand squeeze on his knee.

He jerked up, barely avoiding smashing Steve’s hand into the table.

Steve pulled his hand back.

Eddie kind of missed the touch.

“Sorry,” they said simultaneously.

“Okay,” Jeff interrupted, seeing the need to pull the attention away from Steve. “We need to figure out a set list for tomorrow.”

“What’s tomorrow?” Steve asked.

“Our first gig,” Freak grinned.

“Gig?” Steve asked. Gareth groaned.

“We have a band,” Eddie explained. “Metal — like heavy rock. We got hired to play at the Hideout. If all goes good, it’s gonna be a regular thing for actual money.”

Steve’s face brightened up. “Can I come?”

“Uh — sure,” Eddie said, his brow furrowed for a brief moment. “It gets loud.”

“I’ll find earplugs,” Steve said. The first bell rang. “Shit. I got a test coming up I need to study for. I gotta go. I’ll catch you later?”

“Sure?” Eddie said unsurely.

“Great,” Steve squeezed Eddie’s shoulder as he stood up. “Nice to meet you all. Can’t wait to see you play tomorrow.”

Steve grabbed his lunch tray and left, the boys all watching him as he took his tray to the return spot and leave the cafeteria.

“What the hell was that?” Gareth asked sharply. “Who does he think he is?”

“I don’t know,” Eddie admitted honestly. “This all started this morning. He’s following me around —“

“Like a love sick puppy,” Jeff said slowly. “Congrats Eddie. That’s your new boyfriend.”

[kingdomvel]

Dustin, who wins the chance to have lunch with his favourite band and watch them practice for the upcoming tour, but he is a minor so it's a big no no for him to go alone. It would be very lame to take his mother with him so he goes with the best option: Steve.

Suddenly the day is less nerding out with his favourite band and more watching Eddie Munson try to get into Steve's pants

[st4rking]

After forever, I found my tablet pen again. I didn't realize this was like practically done (don't look at me for backgrounds)

[iridescentrylandgrace]

steve buying eddie a shirt that says "i bite" and then showing up with visible bite marks on his skin, like, up and down his arms, while eddie is wearing it, and robin just keeps looking back and forth between them all day before finally breaking and asking

"is it a sexul thing or-" and Steve's already shaking his head and saying

"i don't even know robin. he likes to bite me I'm just going with it. I don't- i don't know." And she's nodding before he finishes talking and they say nothing else about it for a long time.

Three weeks later he walks into whatever their fucking job is now, again covered in bite marks, and says,

"it IS sexual." As he walks past her, and she wordlessly raises her hand and they high five as he passes and say nothing else about it.

"You love him don't you?" Wayne whispers, breathy, quiet, his voice cracking around the edges of something that feels like raw emotion.

It's then that Eddie turns his gaze away from Steve to look at him, the light never fading from his eyes and the smile never wiping from his face.

Steve's sitting on the trailer floor, in the middle of the living room, Eddie's clothes hanging from his body as he flips through one of Eddie's many monster manuals. Wayne knows the boy would never admit it, but he's just as interested in D&D as the other kids. He's helping Eddie plan his next campaign for christ sake.

Next to Wayne, two cans of coke in hand and a love struck smile on his face, Eddie nods, his cheeks darkening as his smile ever so slightly fades. "Is that okay?" He asks, looking all the bit nervous as his eyes roam Wayne's face.

"More than okay Son."

Eddie's smile brightens once again and if Wayne notices the small amount of tears welling in his eyes, he says nothing about.

"You ever going to tell him?" Wayne continues, nodding in Steve's direction, the boy still oblivious to the conversation being whispered behind his back.

"I don't know if I can."

Wayne says nothing to Eddie's reply as he watches the boy return to the living room where he sits down next to his best friend. Steve smiling bright as the sun upon Eddie's return.

Months go by and Wayne gets to watch as Steve falls too. It's there and so obvious to anyone but Eddie.

His eyes linger and his smile never fades. Soon Wayne sees as he sits a little closer and his cheeks grow a little darker.

There's moments when Wayne catches what he can only describe as a love struck expression across Steve's face. Eddie's talking, because when is he not, and Steve's there, eyes wide and locked onto Eddie's ever changing expression.

He looks fond. Fond in a way Wayne's never seen anyone look at his nephew.

There's moments when he sees Steve hesitant. Moments when he and Eddie are so close and Steve's hand twitches like it wants to reach out. Moments when Steve looks like he wants to lean in but bites his lip and turns away with rosy cheeks.

It's nearly a year into their friendship when Steve's standing at Wayne's side and whispers, "I think I love him."

"Tell him," Wayne answers easily, leaving out the 'please' he so desperately wants to tack onto the end of that sentence.

Please, he thinks again as he watches Eddie turn to face them from across the yard, a smile so beautiful Wayne thinks it's the first time he's seen it on Eddie's face. The boy's elbow deep in his van as his cheeks grow a little pinker as he says with a smile, "Stevie come here for a sec."

Steve leaves, but not before whispering back to Wayne, "I think I will."

No more than a week later Wayne comes home to find the boys on the couch, Steve sleeping and curled into Eddie's side, snoring with his nose pressed to Eddie's neck.

Wayne offers his boy a smile as he stirs from the sound of the door closing. He looks tired, arms tightening around Steve's waist as he smiles back and burrows closer, kissing the top of Steve's head before drifting back off.

"He loves me," Eddie says one evening, weeks down the road, a rare occasion when Steve isn't over and Eddie's actually home.

Wayne smiles, his heart so warm and full as he says, "I know."

Steve's been over for a few weeks now. Part of Wayne's convinced he's moved in, what with the new additions to their fridge and bathroom vanity. The idea doesn't upset him in the least.

He's gotten to witness their love grow during that time anyway.

He's gotten to witness the way Steve kisses a grumpy Eddie good morning until he finally smiles.

Or the way Eddie lights up when Steve's arms wrap around his waist and he whispers an "I love you Eds," that Wayne isn't sure if he's supposed to hear.

Or the way they giggle and kiss and love one another in such a beautiful and uninhibited way.

Granted too, sometimes that means Wayne's hears a bit too much. Eddie would be mortified to know there's been far too many occasions in which Wayne's had to leave the trailer to escape the gasping breaths that occasionally pour out from under his bedroom door.

Though this time, Wayne's inside as the boys are on the roof smoking and he thanks the lord above that all he can hear are the faintest of whispers.

There's only parts of the conversation that he catches, but his heart swells when he hears Eddie's voice so clearly say, "I'm gonna marry you someday Steve Harrington."

Wayne cries the day Eddie shows him the ring.

And cries even harder when Steve shows him his.

Steve's hand is shaking where the single golden band lies on his ring finger, Eddie standing directly behind him, arm around his waist with a smile that matches Steve's in the way it resembles Sunshine.

They can't marry, not legally anyways. But that doesn't stop Jim Hopper from officiating a ceremony or Joyce Byers from walking Steve down the aisle.

The backyard to Hoppers cabin is filled with faces Wayne has grown familiar with over the years. Young and old, smiling and crying all the same.

Dustin and Robin both write speeches, both as rambling and as funny as they are beautifully heart wrenching.

There's not a dry eye in the house.

The boys move into an apartment where they build a life together.

Wayne visits often for meals or a cup of coffee in the mornings, still delighting in the way his Eddie seems so wonderfully overcome with love and affection.

He'd thought he'd shed enough tears for his lifetime at the wedding, but one evening, sat at the table with Robin Buckley and his boys, Wayne finds out he's gonna be a grandpa.

Elaine Birdie Munson is her name.

Sunshine, they call her instead.

[nancywheelesbian]

everyone wonders how the Freak somehow got Steve Harrington. there’s theories. there’s betting pools. surely even if he liked guys there’s so many better ones.

what no one knows is Steve was so down bad instantly that the second they were alone he was basically like “please please please please—“

Full Harrington Experience™ gets rated 5 stars ⭐️

[cheeseyberg]

Will, who notices that Steve and Eddie are closer than normal friends and who knows they are both cool about Robin, decides to take a chance and come out to them and ask for advice about Mike.

“…so I just thought maybe you guys could understand and maybe you know how to get over a crush on a straight friend?” Will finishes.

“Sorry man, Eddie was like my straight death…”

“Gay awakening.” Eddie clarifies.

Steve continues, “..yea that. I didn’t really like any guys until Eddie and then I told Robin and she told me to shoot my shot with him even if I thought he was straight and he wifed me up that same night.”

“Stop telling people that! I do know what you’re going through baby Byers but unfortunately there is no magic solution. In my experience it will fade naturally or you’ll develop feelings for someone new and move on that way. Unless you’re prepared to have a potentially awkward conversation with him, and that’s always an option and we will support you in whatever way we can.” Eddie adds, a bit more helpfully.

Will looks like he’s considering it for a moment before he shakes his head. “I just really don’t think he’s ever questioned his sexuality. He decided he was in love with El and then never considered anything else.”

“Wait, your secret crush is Mike? Mike Wheeler, the most annoying friend you have?” Steve sounds like he’s in physical pain to consider it.

“I take it back, we can’t support that. He’s objectively terrible.”

“What about Dustin? He’s got such great curls now and he’s so smart. He’s a much better option than Mike.” Steve suggests.

“Oh my god yes! Dustin is the best of your party options. I would absolutely support that.” Eddie agrees.

“Dustin isn’t gay either! Why would you suggest Dustin?” Will asks.

“Neither is Mike!” Eddie points out.

“Yea the criteria now is not about choosing a realistic option, it’s just about not being Mike Wheeler.”

Will wants to be surprised but Robin did warn him they would roast him if they found out who he had a crush on.

[allsteddie]

Steve Harrington is the "I'm alright" type of guy.

No matter how awful he feels, he's always going to say he's alright and this drives Eddie fucking nuts.

"You're overreacting, I said I was fine," Steve pouts, as they wait for the doctor to come back.

"You were literally hit by a fucking car, Steve," Eddie says, almost ripping his own hair out in distress. "I don't think this qualifies as alright."

[steveisabicon]

On the flip side, I think Eddie is the exact opposite. Steve: you okay? Eddie with a stomach ache: I don’t ask to suffer. Paper cut? Real tears in his eyes. One time he sprained his wrist slamming his fist on the d&d table too hard (“it was for dramatic effect, Stevie! What, you want me to NOT create an immersive experience?!”) and he spent the entire drive to the ER monologuing about how life is nothing but pain and misery and he is convinced that he is god’s favorite person to torture.

[helpimstuckposting]

Forget about Steve coming out to Robin and her ripping on his choice in men the way he did about Tammy. I think it would be infinitely funnier if Steve looks at Eddie doing something stupid, realizes then and there that he likes him, and roasting himself out loud because Eddie? The Freak? He’s in love with Eddie ‘The Freak’ Munson? Jesus Christ, he doesn’t just sound like a muppet, he is a muppet.

[zorgons]

love steve harrington to death but the guy deserved to have an egregiously embarrassing crush on eddie munson, if not for any other reason than all the shit he gave robin for liking tammy thomson. bam idiot, 🫵 you 🫵 also have a mortifying gay awakening inspired by an aspiring musician.
