my entry for A Very Fruity (and Spicy) Valentine’s Exchange 2023 for @andonandon

Eddie wasn't sure what he expected, but it certainly wasn't this.

“I feel...like a marshmallow.” Steve brings his hands up to poke at both of his cheeks and makes his lips pop out. It made him look like a chipmunk, and his eyes had stayed closed since Eddie got there. The nurse told him that Steve was doped up on the good stuff getting his wisdom teeth removed, sleepy and giggly.

Eddie smiles fondly at the sight. When Steve’s mom asked if he could take Steve to and from the dentist, Eddie didn’t give it a second thought. Any time he could spend with Steve, he took it. “Look like one too.”

They were in the Recovery Room of the dentist office; all manner of medical equipment was around the room and little glass jars on the counter.

Steve sighs and burrows down more in his bed. “I just wanna cuddle and sleep.”

I want that too. “Yeah, and who do you wanna cuddle with?” Eddie says, rolling back on the doctor’s chair to grab a handful of cotton balls to shove in his own mouth.

“My favorite person.”

“Robin?” Eddie asks, adding one ball at a time.

“Noooo, she elbows me.” This peaked Eddie’s attention.

With half his mouth full, Eddie mumbles, “Dustin?”

“Noooo,” Steve sing-songs back. At least he tried to. His own cotton-filled mouth hindered it a lot.

Eddie gives Steve a confused look he knew the other man couldn’t see. “Ok, who?”

“It's a secret.”

Here’s my fic for @bonitabreezy for the Fruity Four Valentine’s Exchange! I hope you like it!!

Summary:

For once, Steve has a plan.

Eddie's so screwed, and not in the fun way.

OR

It takes two tries for Steve and Eddie to have a great first Valentine's Day together, but it all works out in the end.

(For the Fruity Four Valentine Exchange!)

Thanks for organizing it @nostalgicbones !!

Eddie spins around with a Cheshire cat grin and a polaroid clutched in his hand. He holds it up, and Steve squints to see what it’s a picture of. “Why have I never seen this?” Eddie asks, and Steve can make out two blue-and-white-clad figures, standing behind the new counter of a just-opened ice cream shop. Oh, shit.

Happy Valentine's Day, @ruthofrhythm! 💕
