Scoops Ahoy Stobin protesting the gender roles being imposed on them by switching work uniforms and pretending like they don’t understand what the problem is whenever management tries to tell them to switch back.

Robin is happy because she’s far more comfortable in Steve’s baggier and simpler uniform, and Steve is happy because he’s absolutely eating and he knows it.

Eddie and Jonathan are both on a sudden ice cream kick, apparently, but that’s probably unrelated.

Steve, Eddie and Jonathan have so much potential as a poly ship for a story where Jonathan and Eddie have shitty dads in common and they start off resentful because they think Steve has like the perfect life with the perfect parents and how does someone get born so lucky? But then they spend more than a few seconds around him because they have mutual friends and they slowly start to notice the signs that things are in fact not perfect in the Harrington household. Steve is essentially drowning under the pressure of trying to live up to his father’s impossible standards and hiding the fact that he’s constantly overwhelmed because so many people rely on him and he can’t afford to stop and process how stressed out he is.

Once Jonathan and Eddie pick up that something is very wrong with the picture they’d painted of Steve’s idilic life in their heads, they talk to each other about it and come to the conclusion that they’re going to make sure Steve has a place he can rest with them. They pay attention to the small details and offer to take on pick up and drop off and babysitting duties whenever Steve looks tired and let him take a nap at their places. Eventually it gets to the point where if they get back and Steve’s still sleeping they lie down next to him for some rest of their own. Steve secretly loves it because for once he doesn’t feel alone and he’s not waking up to empty spaces.

Over time Steve realises they’re not falling for his bullshit when he says he’s fine, so he starts opening up to them both more. And in return they open up to him about things with their own dads. They start hanging out together and just doing fun, lighthearted things and allowing themselves to be young and silly with people who get it. And every now and then each of them has a moment where they see the other two smiling and laughing about something and think ‘this is what home should feel like.’
