When it came to Steve Harrington; Eddie Munson allowed himself what he called the five second rule:
5 seconds to breathe when Steve inevitably invaded his personal space so his head didn’t swim with whatever magic Steve conjured up to make him smell like Eddie’s personal wet dream. 4 second gazes at his stupid pretty face. 3 second strictly platonic touches 2 second glances at any other part of his god-damned swimmer’s body. Which was an incredibly difficult feat when Steve Harrington seemed to believe shirts were always optional. And 1 second for… everything else. - Steve Harrington has the overwhelming urge to do right by Eddie. It’s not like he cares what Eddie Munson thinks of him, he totally doesn’t. It’s just that Eddie has that kind of of smile that makes you feel like you’re burning on the inside but like… in a good way. Like pure sunshine that can keep the demons at bay, and fill up all the dark and empty corners inside his chest. It feels so peaceful and just.. nice. Until that heat makes him feel like he’s actually on fucking fire and the only way he can possibly put out the flames is kissing Eddie on the mouth and … everywhere else.
