Steddie au where they body swap. They're still in school and despise each other to death, always fighting and always at each other's neck for something. One day one one them says something along the lines of "you wouldn't last a second in my shoes" and that's that. The next day they wake up in the other's body, in his bed, in his clothes.
Eddie who was convinced that Steve had the perfect life, perfect home, perfect family who wakes up alone in a too-big-for-a-teenager house, with no one around. He tries to call for an eventual mother or an eventual father but nothing. So he goes down the stairs to find a living room so pristine that it almost belongs in a magazine. He finds himself in the kitchen and tries to find something to eat. Nothing, apart from a almost finished carton of milk and two cans of beer in the fridge, and some dry bread in the cupboard the kitchen is totally empty of food. He looks around and sees a note attached on the fridge, went unseen before, that read "note to self: remember to go groceries shopping!!". So there's that.
I also thought about how Eddie would react when finally a week later Steve's parents come back from their two months trip to France or something and start being insufferable. I also imagine that Eddie couldn't keep up with everything that Steve usually does at the house (keeping up with the pool, the lawn and general cleaning of the house) (not to say that Eddie doesn't know how to clean but come on, that boy is messy as fuck and probably ADHD, I can't have him remembering to clean the fridge or something) and being berated by Steve's father about it. Shouting in the face, hitting the walls, "I wish you were never born" type of thing yk. And and and then Steve's mother- beautiful woman who always seems to have a glass of wine in hand who can't help herself with saying stuff like "dear aren't you gaining a little too much weight? You know you're supposed to be on a diet, love" and Eddie can't believe what the fuck is happing.
Maybe Harrington's life isn't so perfect.
If you have read something like this pls share, love you❤️❤️
