“Hey!” Robin exclaims. “You, Edward Munson, are an absolute catch. Steve would be lucky to be with someone like you.”

“You know what I mean, Robs. He’s like, King of the Heterosexuals. Maybe he wouldn’t literally murder me-“

“He would never,” Robin interrupts.

“I know, I know, but it’s still different when it’s a guy. What if he finds out I have a thing for him and starts acting weird?”

I love this whole fic but this line wins everything:

“Just friends?” Robin splutters. “Stevie, you’re literally my wife.”

steve and argyle as a duo would be so…. argyle would never be outright rude to someone but he would be LOUDLY passive aggressive and steve has no problem telling someone to their face that he’d kill himself to get them to stop talking. it’s like good cop bad cop except they’re both bad cop

Robin is approaching her senior year and she's taking less and less shifts because she is praying that a good GPA will get her out of Hawkins.

And who recently moved into town, has experience in customer service, does not have other obligations and is looking for a job? Why Argyle, of course.

People thought that Robin and Steve together were bad. But at least they wanted to get through every interaction as quickly as possible so they could go back to their bullshit.

But Steve and Argyle? They are just as judgemental as stobin, but with the added bonus of being high all the time.

Meaning you will have to repeat what you want at least three times. Meaning you never know whether they really are hallucinating the devil behind you in the shop or they are just messing with you and will openly laugh every time they see you for the next two months. Meaning they will recommend you movies that sound so good but don't fucking exist. Meaning they will say the wildest most nonsensical things about you and the only indicator that it was probably an insult is Steve's evil grin.

It is a wonder Family Video doesn't go bankrupt.

Eddie should’ve never taken that loan. It was at the start of his career, he was young and desperate to make it in the industry. It was just to fund his demo tapes but he should’ve known better than to get entangled with the mob, it wouldn’t end there. Once his music took off, they wanted more and more.

Now he has a life, a husband, they’re talking about adopting and Eddie hates himself for keeping this from Steve. He rationalized it, didn’t want to drag Steve into his mess, thought he could keep quietly paying but they want too much now. Eddie’s career isn’t as active anymore, there’s no way Steve won’t notice, they’ll go bankrupt, revealing this secret that he shouldn’t have kept for so long.

He’s gotten a few ominous calls and an unfriendly visitor at the studio that made it clear, they want their money and they’re gonna get it. He has to tell Steve, it’s getting too dangerous. So now he’s sitting across the dinner table from his husband, over a meal so lovingly made for them, about to blow up their life.

“Sweetheart, there’s something—”

There’s a noise outside the window, could’ve just been the wind but there’s more noises, people… footsteps… Eddie grabs Steve, dragging him to the bedroom as he demands to know what’s going on. Eddie tells him everything, in a hushed voice crouching inside their closet with tears brimming, he tells him every lie that’s caught up to them, stained their marriage, apologizes for putting their lives in danger and Steve—

Steve is rifling through the closet, pushing aside clothes to reveal the wall. There’s a compartment behind a painting that Eddie’s never seen. He watches, speechless and shocked to his core as his husband, his kindergarten teacher husband who wears ironed polos and makes dinner every night in a ‘kiss the cook’ apron, takes several lethal looking weapons from the wall and starts loading them up, quick and efficient like a machine.

“Steve, what—”

“You’re not the only one with secrets, love,” he presses a firm, forgiving kiss to Eddie’s forehead and leads him out of the closet, weapon raised, “Now get behind me.”

dustin and lucas are the ONLY st characters who can pull off my very favorite trope, which is two people being held at gunpoint and literally bickering so much their opponent is 1) too stunned to speak and then 2) lowers their guard to tell them to shut up, at which point they jointly knock him out
