what's the one thing makes me say
heaven's just across the way
it's a precious little thing called love ☆
//
1920s Steddie AU where Steve is a children's book illustrator and Eddie is a writer
(more beneath the cut)
So, Steve Harrington comes from a rich family who funds his career as an illustrator. A fortunate, posh, snobbish boy who got sent to prestigious art schools and went to galleries and exhibits. He has refined taste, thank you, just a bit uptight about it. But then he comes across the written works of Eddie Munson (under an alias) and becomes star struck with his work. He creates poems, stories, sonnets, odes; fantasies of escapism, love and unconventional love. He writes erratically, like a livewire, a tremendous build up, a climax that rumbles and leads to an almost plummeting fall. Ends with a resolution that settles your heart. He writes like he wants to be seen, and Steve gets the urge to want to illustrate for him.  So he sends letters, invites, and whatever he can to reach Eddie. When Eddie gets back to him, they both find that they are both enamored with each other’s work. In fact, they’re so enamored with each other, they send letters back and forth, first about plans to meet, to become familiar, to acquaint themselves with each other. But the more they write, the more they fall for their idiosyncrasies, their little quirks, the way they write and cross out their own words or misspell a certain word. Little doodles from Steve, footnotes and poems and turns of phrases from Eddie.  Then they meet, and it’s like. Things are better. Much more real. Man, they’re in love. They never realized it before, until they stood there in front of each other, and they’re scared of course, terrified, even. But they have each other.  So they work together, publish works together. Their stories and illustrations combined are a wonder; fantastical, eerie, but with love and lessons. They move in together, under the guise of work.  Live together and never part, just hidden in the pocket of their lives.  It’s 20s America, but they make it work

Eddie Munson, Bug Wrangler
(Cw: Spider. Not graphic or anything scary, this ficlet is all fluff) This is for @glitterfang, one of the most brilliant authors of our generation. To my dearest pizzabones, Happy Birthday Becca. Ily.
Eddie is cozied up on his brand new couch, covered in a pile of ridiculously soft blankets, reading a captivating fantasy novel he picked up from the library down the street. Warm light is spilling out from the lamp on the side table by his head and Eddie is... so happy. He fucking loves his new apartment. He fucking loves that he has an apartment in general but especially that he's living in said apartment with his high school crush turned boyfriend, Steve Harrington. Everything just feels so soft and good and safe for the first time in his life. He sinks further down into the cushions of the couch when he hears the shower turn off in the other room. He smiles to himself.
He has the perfect seat for a night like tonight. The apartment layout is a little confusing with the living room being in between the bathroom and the bedroom, but Eddie is not complaining. He's not complaining because it means Steve has to walk through the living room and pass by Eddie in nothing but a towel to get back to the bedroom. And Eddie will never get tired of that view.
Soon enough, the bathroom door opens and out walks the most beautiful goddamn man Eddie has ever laid his eyes on. Water droplets are falling from his hair to the hardwood floor and Steve looks up when he notices he's being watched. Eddie is peaking out from the top of his book, clearly hiding a smile.
"Oh hi there." Steve greets softly. He slows down on his walk to the bedroom.
"Hi."
"You come here often?" Steve jokes.
"Nope. First time, actually," Eddie lowers his book and gives Steve a once over, "I'm sight seeing."
Steve huffs and walks into their room calling out "Be right back." Eddie sighs contentedly and looks back down at his book wondering if it's worth trying to get back into it. From the bedroom, Eddie hears something small clatter to the ground followed by a loud inhale of breath. He's expecting Steve to say something. Anything.
"Babylove? You okay?" Eddie asks while sitting up, voice laced with concern. The room is silent for a moment before Steve walks backwards out of the bedroom in boxer briefs and a tshirt. He turns to face Eddie, face pale, while continuously glancing back into the room.
"What happened?" Eddie moves the blankets off his legs. He has literally never seen Steve nervous like this, not in the face of monsters and not in the face of dangerous men. It's making him nervous, himself.
"There's. Uhm." Steve quickly whips his head around to check the room again before sheepishly looking at Eddie. Eddie gets up and walks towards Steve. He puts a hand on the small of Steve's back and leans through the door frame expecting to see something that could have rendered Steve speechless. He sees a stick of deodorant on the floor.
"What?" Eddie asks quietly, lifting his hand to cradle Steve's cheek.
"It's embarrassing," Steve concedes, deflating.
"We're so past embarrassing, babe. Tell me what's wrong?" Eddie combs Steve's wet hair back with his fingers. Steve searches Eddie's eyes. For what? He's not sure. Judgement, maybe? When Steve finds only an openly concerned expression there, he buries his face in Eddie's neck.
"There's a spider." Steve whines, his voice being muffled by the fabric of Eddie's sweatshirt. And Eddie wants to laugh. He wants to laugh because this whole time he thought Steve was this fearless god of a man. Untouchable in every way. But he is so suddenly endeared that his boy is afraid of spiders. He doesn't laugh because he understands the fragile vulnerability that Steve is trusting him with in this moment.
"Oh baby, lets get him out of here! A free loader in our brand new apartment? I don't think so." Eddie moves back and kisses Steve sweetly on the forehead before ducking to meet his eyes. "Show me where he is?" And Steve's shoulders subtly loosen in relief, glad that he's not being made fun of or maybe glad that Eddie is willing to be the bug wrangler between the two of them.
"Hold on," Eddie turns and jogs into the kitchen where he grabs a glass and an open piece of mail.
"Hurry Eddie he's moving." Steve calls out and Eddie full on giggles.
When he walks into their bedroom, and god the novelty of sharing a bedroom with Steve Harrington will never, ever wear off, Eddie sees him staring at the wall right above their nightstand. Steve turns to him with a distressed expression and points at the wall uselessly. Eddie moves forward and places the glass on the wall around the little guy. He slips the paper under the glass and carefully brings the cup away from the wall.
"Give him a name before we kick him out so we know what to call him when we warn the neighbors about the dreaded trespasser." Eddie says holding the paper tight against the glass. He's trying to make the situation as light and playful as possible. Wants Steve to know there's no reason to be embarrassed. The corner of Steve's lip lifts slightly and Eddie is glad to see it.
"Ronald." Steve decides after some internal deliberation. He makes his way to the window and slides it open.
"Reagan?"
"Yeah. Ronald Reagan." Steve agrees with a smile. Eddie beams, pleased that Steve always plays along.
"Perfect name for such a heinous creature." Eddie responds while following him. Eddie lifts the paper off of the cup and shakes the cup out so that the spider falls onto the ledge a few feet below their window. "Fuck you Ronald Reagan!" Eddie shouts out the window. Steve lets out a surprised laugh and shushes Eddie. "Say it babe!" Eddie encourages. He sets the glass on the window seal and puts his arms around Steve's waist.
"You're gonna get us in trouble, Eds." Steve nuzzles into his cheek. Eddie frees one of his hands and puts his weight into closing the window.
"Thank you." Steve tacks on after Eddie has returned to holding him.
"Please, it's a given that I'm gonna protect my baby from war criminals" Eddie whispers pressing a kiss against his eyebrow. Eddie feels the small huffs of breath against his neck when Steve laughs softly.
"No, but really. Eddie. Thank you. For not making fun of me and just always making me feel-" Steve looks at the ground so he doesn't have to meet Eddie's eyes. "Safe. No matter what. I'm sorry that I'm kind of high maintenance."
"Hey! I think you are severely underestimating just how much I'm willing to do for you." Eddie pulls Steve closer and starts swaying them where they stand. Eddie admires the sight of the warm lamplight that haloes around Steve's head. "And for the record, you're not high maintenance at all. But it would be absolutely fine with me if you were." Eddie adds.
Steve's eyebrows furrow like he's working something out in his head. He doesn't understand how much he's loved. But that's fine, Eddie will keep working at it every day. Chiseling away at Steve's walls like the most patient and dedicated sculptor there ever was.
"Let me dry your hair for you, yeah?" Eddie asks pulling Steve back out towards the bathroom. Eddie expects Steve to say something like 'it's okay. I can do it' or 'Eddie... you don't have to.' But instead he says:
"Okay." Sweet and simple. Eddie will count that as a battle won in the war of "Getting Steve to understand his worth."

Okay… um…. Back here again with more kink hour thoughts.
this time it’s Steddie x Reader…
Imagine using the custom piece from your pegging fic… on Eddie as he’s taking Steve in his mouth 🙈
You tryna get me back on my bullshit, huh? Well… I miss my Eddie, so I can definitely oblige. 😈
Warnings: Language, anal sex, threesome, oral sex (m receiving), degradation kink, Eddie gets degraded, spanking, use of sex toy/harness, strap on, pegging Eddie, sub!Eddie, dom!reader and dom!Steve, established relationship, and overall NSFW content!
Tumblr media
You’ll never be able to get over how they can both take it so well, your guys also varying in intensity on switching things up, maintaining or giving over control. Steve has his subby moments, ones you all like to relieve frequently. And then there’s Eddie… Fuck, just thinking about his outer limits subspace — it gets you soaked and Steve rock hard. Eddie Munson is one of the most vocal human beings that you’ve ever met, and that extends to the bedroom portion of your lives.
He isn’t afraid to let himself go and feel every single thing that you and Steve are doing to him, and that he’s also doing to you both. It’s one of the many reasons that Eddie Munson makes for the perfect sub, sometimes even going above and beyond your headspace during that playtime. Tonight was a no brainer, falling into this with a graceful ease, a domineering boyfriend with a old crown back on his head, the other with big doe eyes, begging to be fucked stupid and senseless. You knew everyone’s shared vibes before you even vocalized getting your favorite toy out.
You were using the strap, and you were using it on Eddie.
“So you wanna be stuffed full of her and me, Munson?” Steve had spouted off, hands on his naked hips, staring Eddie down like pitiful prey.
“He asked you a question, little boy! You gonna answer or sit there looking pathetic and empty headed?” You had came back with.
“F-fuck — yes! Do whatever you fucking want with me, m’ yours —“ Steve had grabbed his jaw with a pinching grip, cutting Ed’s sentence off with his own reply. “We know you’re ours, you fucking slut… Didn’t ask you that, now did we?” You’d never seen Eddie shake his head so fast, his cock painfully hard.
“I dunno, babe. His mouth is awfully full of explicit language tonight. I think he definitely needs it gagged. The longer we wait, the worse it’s going to be… on all of us.”
Tumblr media
The toy is as close to Steve’s actual girth and length as you could manage, the other that mirrored Eddie’s cock, it lays in the drawer. If you’re a good girl, then you plan on putting that in Steve’s ass by nightfall, effectively rendering them both into boneless, limping messes. You’d smoke a stolen cigarette or cigar, combing through their hair as they would lay in your lap, and —
“Baby? You alive back there, you’re not giving it to me.” Eddie smarts off, interrupting your dazed daydreams, as big of a brat as he is submissive. Probably bigger.
Steve’s obliterated irises widen, a smirk on his lips as he pauses, fisting his slick cock by Eddie’s mouth. “You’re about to get what you want, man. I think more than you bargained for, actually.”
“Good. About time, because I — JESUS CHRIST!” You give him a thrust so hard that your hips collide with his ass, ramming forward, and Steve is ready to cut him off by pressing his fat cock right into Eddie’s mouth.
Back and forth, back and forth…
Eddie’s pick chain sways into the movement, and you grip his curly tresses, pulling him up and back into you, reaching around to squeeze his base. “If you don’t shut your mouth “— you let your hand drift down over his swollen head, sticky with translucent cream, and you swipe. “— I will let Steve cum in your throat, and then I’ll sit on your face. But you won’t be allowed to have anything, understand? Your poor, useless cock will ache all night, and you won’t be able to touch, yeah?”
He remains quiet, but nods. Steve smirking, neither prepared for you next action. Looking at the swell of Eddie’s cheeks, you pull them apart to see his hole stretched around the silicone, and you can’t stop your palm from cracking down on his skin, watching it immediately turn red into the rebounding jiggle. Steve’s cock (which had returned to Eddie’s mouth) jumps on his tongue, and Eddie whimpers around it, swallowing, making him take Steve in deeper.
“Dammit. Fuck.” Steve looks at you with a boasting pride. You’re out of breath, nipples hard, cunt soaking through the harness. You whack your hand over Eddie’s other cheek, his cock blurting out more pre-come, soaking the bedsheets below.
“Damn,” Steve starts, raising an amused, sweat slicked brow, at an out of it and teary eyed Eddie, “she’s gonna beat your cute ass red, honey.”

Kinktober 2022 Day 8: Threesomes(Three's A Crowd? Nah)
Tumblr media
warnings: smut, threesome, unprotected sex, Steddie!, mentions of alcohol and weed, fellatio, vaginal fingering, swearing pairings: Steve Harrington x Fem!Reader x Eddie Munson/ Steddie x Fem!Reader word count: 1.7k
Tumblr media
The three of you sit in the living room of Eddie’s trailer. You’re seated on the floor, your back against the couch. Eddie sits on the armchair and he is sipping his beer. Steve has just returned to the room, two beers in his hand. He throws you yours, and you catch it with ease. It’s been a good few months since Eddie’s close call in the upside down. You were so fucking worried about him when they all returned without him. But Dustin had begged and pleaded for someone to go save Eddie, and you and Steve ended up being the ones to save the metalhead.
“Ahh, what a great way to spend Saturday night.” You croon softly.
Eddie laughs, “What? Drinking my beer and smoking my weed?”
You scoff, “And who saved your ass?”
Steve frowns as he begins drinking his beer. He knows that you’re teasing one another, but he was so afraid of losing either one of you when you and Steve went to save Eddie. The worst thoughts and scenarios went through his mind when he realized he might never see the charming dungeon master ever again. He’d have to console you. But now, with the two of you here, maybe Steve can finally tell you how he feels about the two of you.
“Fine fine,” Eddie ceases his jabbing. “You’re both welcome to my beer and my weed.”
You smirk, “Awhh thanks Eds!”
He blushes at your nickname for him, “anything for you, dollface.”
You look over at Steve, who seems incredibly lost in thought. You don’t want to interrupt the thought process, but you are a little concerned. So you lean up and sit on the couch with Steve, and you place a hand on his shoulder. He jumps a little from the touch, but he’s happy that it’s just you. Steve has been through so much in the last few years, he has grown a little jumpy.
“Cat got your tongue, babycakes?” You ask him, your tone flirty.
He sighs before chugging half his beer, “No. I’m just so happy that you two are alive.”
You smile, “Hear that, Eds? He’s happy we are alive.”
Eddie laughs, “Awhh Harrington! I didn’t know you felt that way about me.”
But something snaps inside of Steve, he is ready to bare his soul to both of you. A near death experience to one of his favorite people will do that to him. He leans over to you and he presses a gentle kiss to your lips. You’re rendered speechless, and Eddie isn’t really sure what to say either. The kiss deepens a little and you come closer to Steve. Eddie feels something deep down inside of him growing. Watching Steve kiss you is proving to be almost a little too much.
“What’s going on, Harrington?”
Steve is a little breathless when he pulls away from the kiss, “Look when you were down there…in the upside down, it practically wrecked the both of us, Eddie. Now that you’re back, and you’re both safe…I just want to show you what you both mean to me.”
Steve doesn’t hesitate to pull you onto his lap. He begins kissing you once more, and you can feel his love and passion coming out with every little move he makes. He’s gentle when he pushes some of your hair out of your face. It’s not long before Eddie comes to sit next to the both of you.
“Yeah? You were that worried for me, huh?” Eddie asks him, and he reaches down to take Steve’s hand in his.
“Like you wouldn’t fucking believe, Munson.”
This warms your heart. You’ve always had a crush on Eddie, and when you met Steve, you were immediately drawn to him. You knew of him, but you were never formally introduced until last year. Steve was charming and sweet and you could tell he has changed a lot since he “king” Steve.
You can’t keep your eyes off the pair. Steve leans in a little closer to Eddie, and soon he closes the gap between the two of them. Eddie lets out a sweet moan when they begin making out. You are truly mesmerized by the sight.
“Shit,” Eddie says breathlessly. “You are such a good kisser, Harrington.”
Steve smirks, “Yeah, I’ve got a lot of practice.”
This prompts you to pull Steve in for a kiss. His hands come up to tangle in your hair as you begin to grind against him. This leaves Eddie a little impatient, so when he gets his chance, he pulls you onto his lap and you begin kissing him.
“Fuck baby,” Eddie moans. “Feels like we’re in high school all over again. ‘Member when we used to sneak off in third period to have a quickie in the forest? Mmm, fuck your little pussy was so good back then.”
You slap his chest playfully, “And it’s not good now?”
Steve and Eddie share a mischievous glance. You’re almost a little worried about what they have planned, but you don’t have much time to react before Eddie gets up and throws you over his shoulder. Steve is following behind you two. Eddie brings you into his bedroom and he tosses you onto the bed. It’s not long before he’s crawling on top of you.
“Let’s see if her little pussy is still good, Harrington.”
Steve watches from the doorway for a few moments. Eddie begins undressing you, and he caresses your body wherever he finds exposed skin. His cold metal rings feel so soothing on your hot body. Steve finally comes into the bedroom and he leans down to kiss you. While Eddie continues undressing you and exploring the rest of your body, Steve is playing with your tits.
“You are so fucking adorable,” Eddie mutters as he finally pull
You’re blushing now, “Don’t say shit like that.”
Eddie moans as he parts your thighs. You're so sticky and so wet. His tongue pokes out of his mouth as he is practically drooling at the sight of your glistening pussy. He takes a few moments to adjust his rock hard cock in his jeans before leaning back in to inhale your sweetness. Steve groans when he sees the full sight of you naked.
“Jesus,” Eddie grunts. “Fuck you’re just as beautiful as the day I fell in love with you.”
You giggle, “Yeah? When did you fall in love with me?”
Eddie blushes, “The day we met.”
Steve coos at your softness. He never knew how deeply infatuated you two were with each other. Steve leans in to kiss Eddie, and Eddie groans. All of this pleasure is going to culminate into something very passionate and explosive soon. When Eddie pulls away from Steve, this is when Steve takes his chance and begins kissing you.
“He’s right. You are as beautiful as the day I fell in love with you,” Steve confesses. “You’re both beautiful.”
The two of them get off the bed and help each other strip. Your mouth is watering as you watch them begin making out. Steve reaches down to begin stroking Eddie. Eddie squeaks but that soon turns into a guttural moan.
“You’re so cute, Munson.” You quip, and he flips you off.
Steve guides Eddie to join you on the bed. Steve kneels in front of your face and he begins stroking his thick cock. You feel yourself get even more wet; aroused and left wanting from watching Eddie and Steve. You let out a surprised moan when you feel Eddie’s fingers at your entrance.
“How about we find out just exactly how good she is together?” Steven asks Eddie, and Eddie nods his head eagerly.
“Oh fuck yeah,” Eddie grunts. “I love that big brain of yours, Harrington.”
Steve chuckles, “I’ve had a few good ideas in my day.”
You’re about to say something when Steve pushes the head of his cock to your lips. You whine softly before suckling on it, making him groan. Eddie watches in a daze, all while rubbing your clit so teasingly. Soon he can’t help himself, and he grasps his cock. It twitches against your pussy and he thrust it between your soaked folds.
“Just fuck her already, Munson. Show her you meant it when you said you love her.”
Eddie smiles softly, “You’re right.”
The metalhead slips into you slowly, whining at how tightly your walls are clamping down on him. When he’s bottomed out and his balls are plush against your ass, it’s only now that Steve begins thrusting into your mouth. The two of them work in tandem; coaxing you towards your release. Eddie’s long cock keeps rubbing up against your sweet spot, making you see stars.
“Shit, you feel good.” Eddie moans, and Steven grunts in response.
“Good little mouth on her,”
This makes you blush. You are having a hard time not choking on Steve’s thick cock, but he keeps praising you. These soft words fall from his mouth, while Eddie can only grunt nonsense between his panting and whining. If he was with anyone else, he’d be so embarrassed to sound like that. But with the two of you, he knows he can feel safe.
Eddie’s long fingers trail down your body, stopping only to begin rubbing your clit in sloppy circles. You moan around Steve’s cock, making him shudder at the wonderful vibrations that pass right through his cock. He doesn’t know if he’ll actually be able to hold on for much longer.
“Fuck,” Eddie whines. “Fuck fuck fuck, I’m gonna fucking cum if she keeps squeezing me with that cunt of hers.”
Steve moans, “Yeah, I’m close too.”
Eddie looks down at you, “You close too, baby?”
With the nod of your head, the two men begin doubling down on their efforts. It’s not long before your walls begin wildly fluttering, and you are shuddering and shaking. Steve moans as his balls tighten first, and you and Steve fall off the edge together. Eddie isn’t long after, cumming hard with loud curses falling from those pretty lips.
Warmth fills you as Eddie and Steve both paint your inside white. You swallow every last bit of Steve’s cum as your cunt receives Eddie’s hot load. As they both come down, they pull out of you gently. Steve lays beside you as Eddie goes to the bathroom to get you something to clean you up with.
Steve pulls you closer, “I’m so glad I didn’t lose you. I’m glad I didn’t lose either of you.”

This was a request from @lilonsnitch which is what started me opening up requests. This is the only request I’m posting for now because I had already done some of it, so this was just a quick thing. I HOPE YOU LOVE IT ❤️
Modern Migraine Steve / Part 2
Steve was having a no good, very bad day.
It started fine. Great, even.
He woke up in Eddie’s arms, he showered in Eddie’s arms, he even ate breakfast in Eddie’s arms.
When he left Eddie’s arms is when shit went downhill fast.
He had a dentist appointment he’d been putting off for months. Nothing major, just a cavity that needed filling.
The excessive drilling must have sent signals to his brain to render him useless, though. His head was pounding, and he knew within the next hour, he’d need to be in a dark room with no noise.
But he had work. And he missed a day last week because of a migraine.
It’s not that he was worried about money. Eddie seemed to have plenty, and no matter what Steve did, he rarely let him pay for anything.
But he liked his job. He liked his coworkers for the most part.
He liked having something to do.
But he knew there was no way he could work if this headache turned into a migraine, and statistically it would, though he was never good at statistics in high school.
So he drove back home, pissed off and in enough pain to want to cry already.
Eddie was sitting at the desk in the office when Steve walked in the back entrance to the bar, texting back and forth with someone furiously.
Steve wordlessly walked over to him, pushed him away from the desk, and sat down in his lap with his head on his shoulder.
Eddie’s arms wrapped around him and Steve felt himself relax.
His head wasn’t magically healed, but just having Eddie there was enough for him to hold the tension off for a bit longer.
“Everything okay, sweetheart?”
“Head.”
“Should go upstairs before it gets worse, love.”
“Wanna be with you.”
Eddie kissed the top of his head before he moved his arms away for a moment, probably to check his phone again, and bring them back to rest on the small of Steve’s back.
“Amber’s sick and Carly’s got class. I might have to work the bar tonight.”
He spoke softly against the top of Steve’s head, quieter than he normally would be to make sure it didn’t bother Steve’s head too much.
Steve couldn’t quite contain the whine he let out, but Eddie quickly kissed the top of his head again and ran his fingers up and down his spine slowly to keep him relaxed.
“I’m trying to get Darren to come in, but he has his daughters this weekend.” Eddie sighed. “Let me bring you upstairs and get you settled, okay?”
Eddie had already worked four nights this week from Amber being sick and it being busier than usual. It was starting to wear on him a bit as he was usually working for most of the day in the office and receiving deliveries. Steve could tell he was stressed.
He didn’t want to add to that stress.
He pulled away, wincing at the pain shooting up his neck at the sudden movement.
“I’m okay. You work,” Steve said, standing up slowly to avoid any more shooting pains.
Eddie stood too, pulling Steve against him before he could stumble away.
“Hey. You’re not a burden, so stop thinking you are,” Eddie muttered against his temple, ending his sentence with a kiss.
It was fucking weird how he always did that. Steve was sort of worried he could read his mind, but honestly, there wasn’t much he didn’t tell him anyways.
Pretty much since the first day, the day he’d handed him water with lemon slices on the side because he could tell he had a headache, Eddie just knew him. Inside and out.
“Can take care of myself.”
“I know you can, sweetheart. But I’m here.”
Like that was simple. Like Steve was used to it.
Even six months into their relationship he wasn’t.
Some mornings he woke up in bed alone and thought Eddie had finally come to his senses, completely forgetting that he was in Eddie’s bed, in Eddie’s apartment, in Eddie’s bar.
Some nights when Eddie had to work the bar, he was convinced he would come home and kick him out.
He had no reason for thinking these things; Eddie was incredible.
He was patient and caring and loving and kind. He was perfect.
But Steve had doubts, especially when he had migraines and Eddie had to take care of him.
Eddie started to lead him away from the desk and towards the stairs that led to the apartment.
Every step felt jarring, his head pounding along when his feet hit the steps.
When they made it into the apartment, Eddie picked him up and carried him to the bedroom, ignoring Steve’s protests.
He set him down on the bed gently, kissing his forehead and quickly leaving to follow the routine: water, ice pack, pills. Later: hot shower, head massage, sleep.
It was second nature to them both now, and Steve was grateful even if he was worried that he was too needy like this.
When Eddie had him tucked into bed, ice pack covering his head and water within reach, he leaned down to place a kiss to his lips.
“Love you. Text me if you need me,” Eddie whispered against his mouth.
“Mkay,” Steve said around a yawn.
He knew he’d wake up to soft kisses from Eddie, arms under his neck and legs to carry him to the bathroom for a hot shower. He knew Eddie would wash his hair, gently scratching his scalp to ease some of the pain. He knew Eddie would dry him off, dress him in his comfy clothes, and tuck him back into bed, curling around him to keep him safe.
He knew Eddie would do all of that because no one had ever loved Steve the way Eddie did.
(I did technically have a tag list for if this ‘verse ever got continued so here you go  @urallidjits @eddiemunsonswife)

summary: there is more to a couple of friends exchanging mixtapes than what meets the eye.
pairing: eddie munson x fem!reader
warnings: peak mutual pining. oblivious idiots. reader is in danger but nothing specific is mentioned. allusions to a bad home life. a super tiny reference to high fidelity.
author's note: again, only minor changes were made, as well as editing.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the backseat of Steve’s car, squeezed between Dustin and Lucas, while the group disclosed your situation to him, Eddie could barely keep his own thoughts in check.
He felt sick to his stomach, even as the gentle breeze coming from the opened windows hit his face, and the radio played a song that, if he let himself think too much about it, it would remind him of you.
The younger boys explained that you were alone during Spring Break, and that you've been neighbors with the Wheelers your whole life. Last night, Nancy had noticed something strange happening to the lights of your house, and when she went to check on you, you said you were fine, you just thought you saw something, but it was probably just the old electrical wiring. Nancy knew better, though.
Cursed, they said. You were cursed.
They also told him that Vecna didn’t choose his victims randomly, you were all connected through some kind of trauma, all being monitored by the school counselor, like their friend Max, and Chrissy, and Fred, from the school newspaper - both of the former weren’t able to escape, but they could save Max after a breakthrough they had about how music can break the trance caused by the curse.
Eddie wasn’t processing any of that information, though. Their voices seemed to blur in the background, Dustin’s detailed explanations and Steve’s bickering interruptions fading away as his mind wandered to you, who were suffering, unbeknownst to him. The tragic princess in a tale, trapped in the tower of your own mind — and Eddie was no dragonslaying knight, no hero. There was nothing he could do to help you other than trust Dustin's plan to work.
He should have known something was wrong, shouldn't he? He should have insisted on making you tell him what you were going through instead of letting you slip away. Should have, should have, should have.
It was too late now.
Tumblr media
4.
Saturdays were the busiest day at the record shop.
Eddie didn't usually visit you on Saturdays, since you never really had the time to hang out with him as you did during the week, when the store was mostly empty — but, that Saturday, he had a mixtape to deliver to you.
A couple of days before you had gifted him with one, wrapped in sparkly purple paper, a small note with his name on it attached to the worn out ribbon tied it all together. You'd explained to him that, even though the two of you had widely different takes on music, those were a few songs that made you think of him, and you thought he'd appreciate them.
Most of the music in your tape was mellow, acoustic songs, the kind of music he imagined you listening to in your room, or driving your car to school — Crosby Stills and Nash, Joan Baez, Fleetwood Mac. Not that he kept thinking about you alone in your room all the time, not at all.
It rendered him speechless. You were casual about it, sliding the cassette on top of the counter in his direction, but he could tell you were somehow shy about it. There was something else hidden under your fleeting gaze, something that had shifted along the way — or, perhaps, it was only his imagination.
Except that something had changed, ever since his friends decided to take a trip to the record store only to mock him for his infatuation with you. Barely noticeable, barely there, but it changed in the way you looked at him, how you'd seemingly always find an excuse to be close — something unspoken lingered in the air.
Then, again, maybe it was only his fertile imagination playing tricks on him. He wasn't used to getting this kind of attention, and it confused him, but Eddie would be damned if he let his feelings get in the way of what you had.
As he made his way into the store, mixtape heavy in the pocket of his jeans, he shoved through a small group of school kids gathered around, looking for you. Spinning on the heels of his well worn boots, his eyes searched the whole room, but you were nowhere to be found. Behind the counter was one of the guys who only worked weekends — Rob? Bob? Honestly, he didn't care much to learn.
"Hey!" He called out in the other boy's direction, who looked up from the tapes he was piling. "Uh… where's Y/N?"
Rob, or Bob, simply pointed in the direction of the steel door that led to the back of the store, a slightly frightened look on his face. That was the reaction Eddie usually got from people, but it never got old.
Smiling, he said "Thanks, man!", and strolled to the back to find you.
The warm afternoon sun was hitting the brown brick wall, where you stood, leaning against it. Sunshine illuminated your features as you blew smoke from the cigarette you were smoking, looking straight ahead. Eddie felt the breath being knocked out of him as you turned, after probably sensing his presence, and smiled.
"Hey, sailor. What brings you here?"
The rasp in your voice made his tummy flutter.
Approaching your side, he mimicked your pose, leaning against the wall. "Came here to thank you for giving me some new music to fall asleep to. Honestly, insomnia? Never again."
"Why did I have a feeling you would say that?"
"Only because you know me so well." You chuckled, playfully squinting at him.
You smiled, turning your gaze to the ground. “Yeah, I think you’re rubbing off on me, Munson.”
It was silent, for a bit. He watched you finish your cigarette, stubbing it into the wall and crushing it beneath your beaten up converse. This was not the comfortable silence you would sometimes fall into, there was something unreadable in your face, dark circles under your eyes weighing on your features. Fighting the urge to reach out and comfort you, he reached into his pocket instead.
“Here,” Eddie handed the tape to you, a simple cassette inside an acrylic case with your name scribbled on top with his handwriting, quickly before he could regret it, “I brought you this. It’s not much but I thought it was fair. You showed me yours, I’ll show you mine, right?”
“Right.” You nodded, securing the tape in your hands. “You’re making that sound a lot more exciting than it actually is.”
When he laughed, you didn’t follow suit, managing only a half smile before you looked away again. It worried him, your silence.
“Is everything alright? You’re a little out of it today.”
“Uh, yeah. Had a tough week, that’s all. Things at home aren’t… great, right now.”
“You know you can talk to me, don’t you? About whatever you want, whatever you need. I mean, the last thing the freak can do is judge you.” He chuckled that last part, but there was no humor behind it.
Looking back at him, your face was still unreadable, but the look in your eyes was earnest, raw. "You're not a freak, Eddie. You're my friend."

30. “How Did You Know?”
“If I fall over a tree root and crack my skull open, you have to carry me to the hospital. Like, legally and morally.”
Steve smiled and shook his head at his boyfriend’s whining, which had started about two seconds after the bandana went on over his eyes and really hadn’t stopped, “Nah, I’m sure I can find a wheelbarrow around.”
Eddie gasped dramatically, “And on my birthday?! Oh, woah befalls our dear Edward, loathed by even his beloved, scorned by the one who he calls-“ He was cut off by strong arms scooping him up, “Steve!” He shrieked, clinging on for dear life.
Steve smirked, “Thought it’d be faster this way.” He hummed innocently as they entered the clearing, and only then did he set Eddie down, “Happy birthday.” He murmured, taking off the blindfold to reveal a picnic spread out for two, complete with basket set off to the side. He smiled when Eddie, miracle upon miracles, was rendered speechless for a moment.
“…Did you have to cook anything?” And okay, that was a fair question to ask. Hey, a guy who was raised primarily with nannies and delivery drivers wasn’t going to be a top-notch chef, especially not compared with Eddie, who had learned to maximize flavor while minimizing ingredients used. He was almost jealous of Eddie’s skill with Kraft.
“No.” And Steve tried not to take the blatantly relieved sigh to heart, though he definitely pouted until Eddie pressed a kiss to those lips, “Come on, I made sandwiches.” He tugged the birthday boy over, and then down onto his lap.
They sat there for hours, until the sun began to go down, and it was only then that Steve revealed his biggest surprise. He pulled a strawberry rhubarb pie out from the basket, placing a candle in the center and lighting it as he sang, but Eddie was too stunned to blow it out.
“Is that…Steve, is that my mom’s recipe? How did you know?” Eddie whispered, and tears pricked his eyes. His mom had died when he was young, but he still remembered picking strawberries with her, helping her knead the dough, being her special little helper who always got the first slice. The smell of the pie his beautiful, thoughtful boyfriend held launched Eddie back into those fond childhood memories, and there was no question in his mind about whether or not this was the pie.
“Wayne taught me.” Steve explained, pressing a kiss into Eddie’s hair, “I still have the burns to prove it. I’m actually pretty sure your uncle will never let me near a stove unsupervised again.” He’d spent all week learning, and this was the first one he hadn’t absolutely charred like a demogorgon because fighting interdimensional hellbeasts was a cakewalk compared to baking. He held up the pie a little higher, trying to draw attention to the slowly dripping candle, “Well? Gonna make a wish?”
Instead Eddie threw his arms around Steve’s neck, “Everything I could wish for is right here.”

Title is a work in progress.
REPOSTED because holy shit this would NOT show up in the tags. Literally wanted to cry.
Eddie Munson | Trapped | Part 1
Next Part ---------------Master List
Pairing: Eddie Munson x Fem!Reader
Word Count: 5.5k
Contains: Fluff, light angst, Awkward “they like each other but neither of them know” conversation, Virgin!Eddie, Shy!Reader, Anxiety, Reader works with Robin and Steve, and is friends with Nancy. Alludes to reader also helping gang with the Upside Down. Vague mention of weed/dealing, also Sad Eddie.
Prompt: Honestly, I was inspired by this post by @loveronlineee​ about how Eddie seems all cool and charismatic like he’d be cool with the ladies, when in reality... he’s a big DnD loving nerd. He’s likely maybe kissed one person. In this fic he’s never kissed anyone.
Author’s Note: I have went down the rabbit hole from Wednesday to Friday reading Eddie x Reader fics and now I really want to write. I didn’t know where to start until I was inspired so thank you xoxo for that inspiration. This fanfic has started off fluffy but will get more heated, I promise. Minors DNI for that simple reason as for when it DOES get heated. It’s my first time posting on this tag so please be gentle... thank you!
Just wanted to put a disclaimer. I know he can talk to women in general. He just knows that no sane person would want to face the scrutiny he faces. That and probably being insanely touch starved... romance is not easy for him. And while yes he is pretty insane behind close doors I just have to believe some of his personality is a shield.
Tumblr media
Despite what some might believe (you), Eddie has…limited experience in dating. Despite what his suave, charismatic, erratic, and charming upfront of a personality would tell you, his Hellfire club, and the entire school even he had never had even so much even kissed a girl. Or boy. He tentatively liked the idea of it but was certainly sure it wasn’t going to happen until after high school.
Eddie might take being called a Freak with a roll of his eyes or a middle finger, but he knew as long as he was in highschool (still) no one would want to be pulled into the scrutiny he faced. His Hellfire club always knew when they joined that they’d be wrapped up in being called a cult, but they were never picked on or scrutinized as much as Eddie. They would get a chuckle as Eddie hissed at a random passer or momentarily embraces his label, but the word Freak usually stays on him alone. If there is any moment where his club members get pulled into it, he takes the attention off of them immediately. He doesn’t wish this on anyone.
Behind closed doors and at the end of the day, sometimes it leads to a muffled sob at night. He never gives them more than five minutes. He refuses to give them the satisfaction of knowing he is at all affected by it.
Eddie was once compared to Steve Harrington in the midst of a break during one of the more tamed DnD campaigns by one of the old and now graduated members of Hellfire. Eddie was surprised by this comparison, intrigued. “What do you mean,” he asked, careful to hide his surprise to the comparison to the resident douchebag of their school.
The club member laughed, ruffling his sandy brown hair. “No man you guys are just both so charismatic.” They laughed, looking at their character sheets absentmindedly. “I mean, you see Steve. He is dripping in the ladies. It wouldn’t surprise me if you had that in common.” Eddie was rendered speechless, but didn’t let it show. He cockily winked at his pal, suddenly aware that his persona was a lot more convincing than he initially thought. It was even convincing the people closest to him.
Eddie’s charisma or general confidence might have convinced one person (that he knew of) he was a real lady killer, like Harrington or Hargrove, but it couldn’t be further from the truth. They were literally cool kids. Kids who were welcomed at parties and expected at big social events. He’s a metalhead who enjoys writing new sadistic campaigns in his free time or talking to his guitar. How the hell was he ever going to touch, kiss, fuck, anyone?
That’s were you came in.
The truth is, you were obsessed with Eddie Munson. His hair, his rings, his confidence, his ability to rile up assholes who only live to bully others, everything about him you admired. And you’ve never even talked to him before. Your co-worker and now friend Robin would tease you about it when she caught you staring from across the cafeteria to the Hellfire table, but you knew it was all in good fun.
On this particular day, you couldn’t keep your eyes off of him, Robin rambling on in the background of your fazed mindset. You resisted leaning on your hand like a school girl so it wouldn’t be obvious, but maybe open-mouthed breathing and not eating is not all that different. You were absentmindedly chewing on your lip without exposing your teeth, and you could feel your heart beating out of your chest.
Robin stopped speaking a few minutes ago, unbeknownst to you. She realized you weren’t talking when she accidentally blurted something about herself to you which you usually would’ve had a bigger reaction to. You realized she had stopped talking when Nancy sat down across from you, blocking your vision. Nancy switched her wide eyes and unreadable expression between you and Robin, noting the silence. “It’s quiet here” she paused, “why?”
Suddenly you felt eyes burning through your left temple. You looked over seeing Robin almost glaring at you, but mostly amused. A beat passed when she looks over to Nancy and says, “Well Y/N over here can’t stop staring at Eddie. It’s worse than normal today.”
Nancy smirked, newly aware of your little crush on the school’s resident Freak. “You’ve got it bad, girl,’ she stated. You rolled your eyes because it’s not like you didn’t know. He only takes up about 75% of your brain and most of your nightly routines.
Robin tapped your arm, getting your attention. “Have you ever even spoken to him?”
“How am I supposed to do that? A party?” You shook your head pitifully. Not in the three years where you had this little crush did you ever utter a word. You had two classes with him, both where you sat in front of him, not able to catch a glance without being obvious. You always turned towards him when you got the chance. How were you supposed to talk to him other than a drug deal or walking up to his table? Seeing him at a party just wasn’t an option. You aren’t a weed kind of girl, and walking up to his table sounded like fun if you valued public humiliation.
You zoned out again, nibbling on your thumb. It was a nervous habit. You looked down at your lunch, stomach grumbling but appetite little. Your sandwich looked like spacefood. Unappetizing and only clumps of matter built for sustenance but with no taste. You looked up at Nancy, she had a look on her face, but you knew this look. She was figuring something out. This concerned you far too much. Nancy’s mind is not a force to be reckoned with. “What’s on your mind, Nancy?”
She paused and looked at Robin, then at you. “I have to pick up Mike and his friends from their Hellfire club this week. It usually goes a decent amount over their time frame and I have to barge in and get their asses in gear. Do you want to join me tomorrow? Might be a chance to actually talk to him.”
You glanced at Eddie, his smile wide, standing at the head of the table and making a grand degree which you do not hear. You can only hear your heartbeat pulsing hard at the mere opportunity to speak to him. If you ever go on a date with him how the hell are you going to say anything? Once or twice he has caught you staring and you look down immediately upon eyecontact. That eye contact alone makes you kick your feet and giggle in your bed.
You looked back at Nancy and Robin, dejected. “How am I supposed to talk to him? This is a fantasy. He wouldn’t want someone shy and spending three years liking him. Look at him.”
You felt a sharp pain in your left upper arm. Robin pinched your arm, hard. “Hey! Snap out of it.” You looked to her, startled yet curious. “Last year you beat the shit out of a Russian and the year before that you smacked that demodog thing that Dustin had a new one. Stop! Devaluing! Yourself!” For emphasis, she pinches you again three more times on each word.  
You looked at Nancy. You smiled close mouthed and rubbed your now sore arm, thankful for friends who can kick you in the ass when you need it. “I-I’ll come with you, Nance. Thank you for thinking of this.”
Nancy smiles, finishing her lunch. Robin’s lunch is finished, sat empty in front of her. You still haven’t eaten, and you’re still too queasy for it. It might be worse now that you have the actual opportunity you need. You drank some water hoping it would last you through the day.
Robin hitched her breath and giggled. “Nance, I think she’ll be even more nervous now. I’m not sure how she’ll last through her shift tonight.” Your eyes widen, you forgot you worked tonight. You pushed your tray forward and let your forehead land on the table. You are screwed.
School passed by quick enough. You hated math, the one subject you knew Eddie passed the first time in his attempt at senior year. Where do invisible numbers get off by being in a place where they do not belong? World geography was shitty enough but at least when you had the opportunity you could grab a glance of him, bored out of his mind, a notebook in front of him for once. It looked like this year he might actually pass. Secretly, you hoped he had someone to help him. At the end of your last period sans Eddie (you’re pretty sure it was his free period), you stretch you arms up and hard, knowing you’ll need to be at work in two hours.
You grabbed your homework and ran to your shitty ten year old beat up old green honda. Your parents surprised you for your 16th birthday. Surprised was the definition of your reaction. Growing up you were told not to expect a car for any birthdays. If you wanted something, you earned it. (The reason for your job). Despite them beating the very idea into your noggin for 15 and a half years, they surprised you. Any money you had saved for a car is now into a college fund. Your parents were kind of rad.
You stopped by your house to grab something hopefully to eat since you cant take the hunger pains anymore despite your nausea. When peering into the fridge, you noticed a small salad in Tupperware that your mom put away probably wanting to eat later. Most food stored tupperwares in your family were used but not taken advantage of, so you knew she wouldn’t see a loss if you ate it. The first bite was hard but worth it. Nausea damned, you needed something at least before work. Eddie had such power over you, the man with the leather and the rings and the eccentric personality, that you were in your kitchen standing in front of your fridge, tentatively chewing at a salad.
You only ate half. You had a feeling you’d be throwing it up soon out of nerves. After pitifully throwing the salad back into the fridge you wandered around the house for half an hour, thankful no one was home. Your mom knew you have a crush. Whenever boys are brought up at home in front of your mom you blush and keep your mouth closed. It’s been like this since she asked on the third day of Freshman year. Now being senior year, your mom was growing concerned about your lack of ability to talk to someone you liked. She’d hoped you grew out of it.
Anxiety told you otherwise. Anxiety told you not to do it. Anxiety told you that if you ever asked him out he would laugh in your face, or worse just let you down gently. Anxiety, is a bitch.
One thing Anxiety did do, was speed up time for you. One great thing out of a million terrible things. After your pacing around you grabbed your uniform to put on and drove early to start your shift at the video store. Ding dong.
In the middle of a conversation with Robyn who started early tonight, steve was talking animatedly about a date with yet another girl he met at the video store. “I think she’s it, I think she’s the one!’ Steve exclaimed his hands making big gestures.
You walked in their conversation with your bag over your shoulder, feeling more relaxed that you have a four hour shift tonight and you can focus on that. “Steve didn’t you say that about Stacy Lumbar last week? How many times are you going to meet the one, cause at this rate we won’t have anymore room for your engagement rings at the back.”
Steve “accidentally” bumped into you as you walked to the back, forcing you to bump into a stack. “That was your own fault!” You exclaim, running to the back bathroom.
You clocked in early, knowing Keith would have your head. Whatever, you’ll clock out five minutes early to avoid overtime bullshit.
Robin greeted you sweetly as you walked in, a hint of smug behind her eyes. “Hello, sweetness! How you feelin?”
You squinted at her, she knew how you were. “I hate you.” She  shot you a big smile, knowing you didn’t mean anything by it.
Steve looked between you and Robin while simultaneously putting the videos away. “What do you mean, is something wrong with her?”
“Oh she’s just nervous because Nance is forcing her to talk to Eddie tomorrow,” she says, light as a feather. The mention of his name made you nauseous again, the salad stuck in your throat.
Steve, in such a Steve-like manner, asks, “Wait, Robin I thought you said-“
“Steve! Zip-it!” Robin shouts, using a quick zipper motion over her mouth.
“Oh shit.” Steve says, then walks away from you like nothing happened.
You look between your two co-workers, knowing them well enough to know that they aren’t telling you something. “What just happened,” you say as you shake your head. They both say nothing, sharing a quiet conversation.
Here’s what you don’t know.
When Nancy was thinking to herself, she didn’t think of a simple solution such as bringing you to Hellfire. She was going to do that this week without even telling you. Her second solution was to send Eddie to your work place, effectively trapping you. After leaving the lunch table, Nancy did a quick round before arriving to her class five minutes late. She’s a Straight-A student, most teachers give her flack for it.
She ran into Mike when he left his table, asking him to ask Eddie to pick up a certain movie from the store. Nancy specifically told Mike to tell Eddie to pick up the specific movie at 5:30 because the movie will be returned by another patron around 5:15. Biggest movie of the year, impossible to get. Mike was confused to why he had to listen to Nancy, and Nancy simply gestured her head to you, dumping your entire lunch remains on into the garbage.
You and Mike don’t talk much. Most times you communicate is when most of your lives are in danger. Mike does know you really like Eddie (he didn’t know how long). Mike looked back to his sister, his face incredulous. “Yeah whatever any other reason?”
Nancy huffed and rolled her eyes. “I’ll do your math homework for a week. Ninth grade math was easy beans.”
Mike smirked in the way only little brothers can. “Oh I would’ve done it for Y/N. But sure that works.” Nancy shoved him, walking off to the payphone to give Steve a call.
Yeah. Nancy Wheeler loves you you to the point where she will purposely call an ex.  
“Video store, no, we don’t have x movie.” Steve answered, bored at his slow day at work.
“Hey Steve it’s me,” she says out of breath from fast walking to the payphone. “Can you and Robin take a break around 5:30 for me? I’m getting Eddie to stop by the store today.”
She could hear the smirk Steve gave over the phone. “Nancy Wheeler you are a genius. I will absolutely do that.”
She hung up the phone without saying bye, and ran off to her class, just missing the final bell. It was all set into motion, assuming Mike would ask Eddie.
-
“No.” Eddie said, eyes dark and arms crossed.
“Please!” Mike pleaded knowing he looked like a dork.
Eddie stood up from leaning his ass on the table with his legs crossed at the ankles. “Listen to this. Fuck no.”
Mike huffed exasperated, knowing he would have to do Eddie a favour in order for him to get him to do this.
“Why can’t big sister Wheeler drive you?” He asked, side-eying Mike.
Mike bit his lip, thinking quickly on the spot. “Nance has to watch our little sister tonight so she can’t drive me, and I have to do my chores.”  Eddie mocked him silently, almost impersonating DeNiro. “If you do this, I-I’ll do your deals for three days. No a week!”
Eddie softened at his and put his hands out. “Whoa whoa, Wheeler you don’t have to do that. Deals are easy money, but you can get caught. I’m not risking that for you, you’re only a freshman.” Eddie paused, a gentle look on his face that Mike rarely sees. “Is this fucking movie really that important?”
Mike nodded. “It’s been out at the movie store for literal weeks. This might be the only chance I can get it.”
Eddie had a soft spot for him, Dustin, and Lucas. Mike knew this. Eddie slouched back onto the DnD table, finally giving in to what Mike was asking. “Yeah, sure ya Twerp. I’ll pick it up for you.”
Mike felt a large wave of relief rushing over him. Eddie didn’t give in very often. This was a win.
-
Why the fuck was Mike asking him to pick up this goddamn movie? It’s not like he didn’t know anyone else who could drive. Didn’t he know Harrington who worked there? Couldn’t Harrington just save it for him? Why the fuck specifically 5:30? Ugh. Eddie couldn’t wait to go home, smoke a little, and get this headache out and spend time with his guitar.
He shrugged his shoulders after Mike triumphantly walked away from him, chuckling at his new commitment. He let his scowl fade and sat down at his throne in the DnD room, alone with his thoughts. He caught you staring again today, and he wasn’t one thousand percent sure what to make of it. Did you think he was weird? Did you like him (not possible)? Did you just stare into space? Eddie didn’t know what to make of it, but he has caught you three times this week, each of them he’s not even sure you realized.
He wondered what a pretty girl could be staring at him for, and if it was a cruel prank. There was no way anyone as pretty as you would be staring because they liked him. That wasn’t possible for the next 8 months. When he finally gets out of Hawkins and no one knows about his Freak status maybe someone will like him.
Sure, he noticed you when you weren’t staring. The way your hair framed your face, your lips pursed when you were concentrating, or when you were laughing with your friends at your lunch table with your nose crinkled. You were stunning. Breathtaking, even.
Eddie stood up to stretch, his white shirt exposing a strip of his trail. He checked his watch, seeing 5:10 and decided he should head out, even though he usually drove fast. The radio was loud and on the Rock Station, as usual, drumming out to some Guns n Roses. He hit a few early red lights, cringing and hoping no cop was around. His route was taking longer than usual today, and it was 5:28.
He swerved into the parking lot of the video store, double parking. He was right on time. With a hint of his swagger and charm, he strutted into the store, taking his sunglasses off when the bell rang.
Looking around for Harrington, but instead found you. Only you, at the front counter.
He didn’t know you worked here. Now he was a little nervous.
Shit.
-
Your shift started out pretty normally. Robin and Steve were arguing as per usual on the evening movie when Robin looks at the time and taps it twice to Steve. Steve nods and looks at you. You were confused to what their silent conversation was about, remembering the one they had earlier. What were they on today. She knows she was just nervous but what the hell was wrong with them?
You were about to continue putting returned movies back when Steve approaches you. “Hey, Y/N listen Robin and I are going to take our breaks at the same time since it’s really slow right now. Can you just stay at the front desk and man the store for 15?”
You blinked, confused. “What do you mean you’re taking your breaks at the same time? You’re seriously going to leave me alone? What about the rush hour crowd?” You were already on edge today, this wasn’t helping.
Steve put his left arm on your right shoulder somewhat harder than necessary. “I believe in you.” Before you could argue any longer, he and Robin rushed to the back as if there were a fire. Please let there be a fire; you literally just wanted to go home.
You walked up to the front, noting the time on your watch. It was 5:30. You sighed. Only 3 and a half hours to go… You lied your head on the computer for half a second when the bell rang. You looked over, and you swear your jaw dropped. Eddie.
Eddie was there, taking off his sunglasses and scanning the store until he found you. You weren’t sure why he scanned it, but it still made you smile. When he saw you, you almost saw a familiarity in his eyes, as if he knew who you were. You were positive he doesn’t.
He took his time, strutting to the counter. Little did you know, he was fucking panicking. His heart was racing out of his chest but he was playing it cool. He hoped.
You tried to relax yourself, feeling your salad coming up again. “Hi, Munson,” you said feeling weird about being so formal. “Can I help you?”
He stopped at the counter, looking over you. “Uh yeah, doesn’t Harrington work here?” he asked, giving the store another scan.
You were taken aback by this. “Uh yeah, he and my other coworker insisted on taking their breaks right now. So, it’s just me.”
He didn’t think you were just you. “Well, just you. I’m here picking up a movie for Wheeler.”
You pushed your eyebrows together. “Mike?”
He nodded vigorously, his sunglasses falling off of his head. “Yep, that’s the one.”
When his sunglasses fell off, you couldn’t help a giggle pop out of your mouth. He would do anything to make it happen again. He leaned onto the counter, grabbing them. You had to take a moment, suddenly being able to smell him. You’ve never been this close before. He smelled like pine, cologne, mint toothpaste, and weed. It was literally perfect. His hands were folded in front of himself on the counter, ringed hand over the one with a ring on this thumb. You were both shaking and turned on. This was a great day. You don’t know how long you lingered, but you shook out of it and leant down to your saved returns.
There was one labelled in all caps MIKE. Oh thank god it was there. “Oh this movie is always gone.” You bent back up to enter it into the computer, unaware that he was now returning the favour you gave him two minutes ago.
He was not being subtle about it. Since you’ve never seen him so close, he’s never seen you so close. He took in the way your eye colour just seemed to be the perfect colour, the faint smell of lilac on your uniform from your detergent, and the way you were nibbling on your thumb again. He may have leaned down to grab his sunglasses but now he was resting on his arms.
You finished entering it, and looked at him asking, “How long do you want to rent it for?”
“Pfft” Eddie said. “I totally forgot to ask Wheeler. Let’s say 48 hours.”  
You furrowed your brow. “You sure? Don’t you have your DnD campaign tomorrow? When is he going to have time to watch it?” He was taken aback, not realizing you knew when his club met.
“Shit, make it 3 days then,” he says, putting his hands up as if he didn’t care. You smile at him, hopefully not too wide. He smiled back when you turned back to the computer, the lines down his cheeks prominent. Too bad you missed it, you lived for his smile. When you missed it, he just looked down wondering what the hell he was supposed to do.
“Ok, that’ll be 2.89 for the weekend, then.” You look at him.
He scrownged into his pockets. First his vest, then his leather jacket, then his jeans. That’s fine he can take his time. You’ll just patiently wait. And watch. “Aha!” He said loudly, scaring you. “Here, and sorry”
You said it was fine, your heart beating out of its chest. You knew he was loud. You just never heard him this close before.
He put five dollars on the counter. You grabbed the bill to give him change before he says. “Oh keep the change. I don’t like coins.”
You scrunched up your nose, “Why not?”
He shrugged. “Drug dealer. Only like cash. I don’t use coins very often, anyway.”
You were talking to him. You were making a conversation with Eddie Munson, and he tipped you. You were talking to Eddie fucking Munson. You wanted it to keep going. “You-you’re not what I thought you’d be.” That’s true, he’s much better than you thought. You just wanted to give him the satisfaction of not being called a freak. You hated that term.
He chuckled without humor tossing his hair out of his way. “What were you expecting, Eddie the Freak?” he sticks his tongue out, but you could tell your heart wasn’t in it.
You shook your head vigorously, not wanting to be misunderstood. “No, not at all. You’re not a freak.” You paused. “I was expecting a little more drama maybe, but not a freak.”
Not a freak, you said. Not a freak. Eddie gave a genuine smile, and took the tape off of the counter. “Thanks, Y/N. That meant a lot.” He was backing up to leave when you interrupted him.
You weren’t ready for him to leave. Also how the fuck did he know your name? “Wait,” he paused exactly how he was, and slowly turned around, “you know my name?” you asked, too taken aback to laugh at his dramatics.
Eddie bounced to a normal stance and walked a few steps back towards you. “Yeah, you’re in two of my classes.” He paused, almost hesitating. You don’t think you’ve seen him hesitate. “Plus…” he takes a breath, “I catch you staring once in a while.”
Your eyes go big, your mouth dries. Your salad feels like its travelling back up from wence it came. You gulped, somewhat audibly. “Y-you do?”
Eddie shrugs. “I mean I’m not mad, I catch lots of people staring for different reasons. Yours never seems hateful though…” he let the sentence fade out his eyes looking off. “Why do you stare? Also why do you do that?”
You avoided the first question at the first chance. “Do what?”
He pointed at your thumb in your mouth. “That.”
You looked you were nibbling on your thumb again. Shit. “Uh nervous habit,” you say putting your thumb down.
He stared at you, VHS in one hand, glasses in the other. He used his head to move one side of his long curly hair behind his shoulder. “You’re not answering my other question. Why do you stare?”
It was a pregnant pause. You could tell he wasn’t being cruel. He was just curious. You’ve seen him when his club members say some shit he doesn’t like and his eyes go dark. His eyes were light brown right now. They were gorgeous. You fiddled with your fingers, not wanting to answer this right now.
You heard a sigh and looked back up to face the man that has haunted you for three years. “Listen if you don’t want to answer, I get that. But next time I catch you I’m going to wave. I’ll see you tomorrow in class.”
“Nancy Wheeler is picking her brother up from Hellfire Club tomorrow. I’m coming with her, we’re hanging out tomorrow night. See you then, too?”
Eddie licked his lips and scratched his nose. You could almost see a smile on his face. “Yeah. See you then.” He opened up both doors and jogged to his van. You checked the time, it was 5:50. You were talking to Eddie for 20 minutes.
You were talking. With words. To Eddie Munson. For twenty. Minutes.
Wait if it’s been twenty minutes where were Robin and Steve?
“Robin, Steve?” You shouted to the back. “Your break is five minutes over get back here!” You leaned over the counter, almost hoping you could get that scent back. It wasn’t there but you were smiling. A lot.
“You did so good!” Robin comes from the back, her arms open wide and mouth in a big open smile. She hugs you tight and jumps up and down.
You scrunch your face up, getting out of her hug. “What do you mean I did so good?” You look to Steve, who looks more smug than normal. Which you thought was impossible. “What the hell does that mean?”
Robin did a little hip dance, almost falling over. “We set you up.” She says her voice cracking as she stumbles. “We made sure Eddie came here today while you were alone! Now you have talked to him!”
Steve put his hand one on of his hips, looking at you with what you think might be pity. “Wait you’ve never spoken to him? And you’ve liked him for three years?”
You glared at Steve, giving a warning sign. You might be shy, but your face says some words. “No, Steve, we can’t all ask people out when we want.”
Steve now put both hands on his hips, something he usually did with Dustin and them. “Hey, be nice. I’m looking for Mrs.Right. I know she’s out there somewhere. And I will be here when she needs to rent a movie.”
Robin pushed him to one side of the store with the return rack still there from when you were working on it. “Here. Work. Be useful.” Steve did, somewhat unergetically.
“So how did it go, how are you feeling?” Robin came to you, her eyes sparked like they usually are when gossip isn’t about her.
“Like I’m going to be sick” You say, holding your stomach. It was true, you might be excited you managed to not stumble through the whole comversation, but that didn’t stop your anxiety bubbling like you were boiling water. At least when you haven’t spoken to him you had a blank slate to leave a good impression. What kind of impression is it when you’re in a dorky uniform stumbling and biting your thumb?
Robin moved her head as if to ask more details. “Aaaand?”
You managed a smile. “Really excited.” Your stomach was also excited. You started to run to the bathroom, your nerves getting the worst of you. “Im going to be sick!”
When you were puking the one thing you ate today, Robin ran to Steve, unable to contain herself. “Holy shit did you see Munson? I’ve never seen him look that nice before.”
Steve nodded, putting the movies in place. “Yeah I noticed that. I’ve never seen his guard that down before, I’ll admit.” He finished the pile that was in his hands and looked to her. “At the same time, Robin he also might not be that tough. Let’s not read into it too much until Nance sees how tomorrow goes. She’s going to trap them again.”
Robin giggled and clapped her hands. She was giddy about drama that had nothing to do with her. “This will be so fun. If she reacts like this to talking I can’t wait until he asks her out.”
He looks back to where you were now flushing the toilet empathetically. “Poor thing will be out for a week.”

call me baby
✰ summary: in which a jealous eddie decides to remind you that you are his girl and his girl only.
✰ words: 2k
✰ warnings: smut, oral (f!rec), unprotected sex, swearing, insecure eddie if you squint, begging, master kink,
✰ masterlist / ao3
Steve waved politely to you as he stepped through the front door, making his way to his car and soon started driving away. You thought it would be sweet of you to invite him to a casual dinner with you and Eddie - just to catch up after the whole Vecna fiasco. 
As you were putting some of the dishes into the sink of Eddie’s trailer to finish later, you noticed Eddie storm to the back bedroom. Wondering what his deal was, you left the plates in the sink and followed him. “Eddie, you okay?
Instead of giving you an answer as you wanted, he turned on you quickly and pinned you against the wall. He pressed his lips against yours harshly, ravaging your mouth. “I saw the way you were looking at him. The way you were laughing, staring at him. How do you think that makes me feel?”
You stood there in a slight shock. “You know I don’t have any feelings for him, we just hadn’t seen him in so long after everything-”
“It’s not just that!” He raised his voice. “His eyes were roaming you like he couldn’t get enough. I’m the one who’s supposed to look at you like that.”
“You’re being ridiculous babe, why does this suddenly matter now?” 
“Because you’re mine.” 
His hand shot out into your hair and gripped it tightly, pulling you to him as his other arm wound around your waist. You caved in and began to kiss him back, your own hands finding their way into his tangled hair and twining your fingers in it. Eddie groaned into your mouth, backing you up into the door and pinning his body against yours.
He drew back, his eyes locked onto yours. He unbuttoned his shirt and let it fall to the floor before doing the same to you. He pushed you down onto the bed and he bit his lip as he looked down at you on his bed. You never fail to render him speechless. 
The upper half of your body was now exposed to him and he could feel his blood rushing downwards as he saw your chest. Eddie climbed on top of you and began kissing your mouth again. He rested his weight on one of his elbows next to your head as his other hand trailed up your side and roughly cupped your breast over your bra. Your nails sunk into his shoulder blades as he started to kiss and suck his way down your neck again and he grunted into the junction of your neck and your shoulder.
He snaked his arm under you and unhooked your bra one-handedly. He dragged the straps down your arms and tossed the useless garment across the room. He pulled himself away from you slowly and stared at you with such intensity that it made you shiver. Once he had taken a good look at you, he swooped back down to your neck and began ravaging you with kisses and little nips.
The hand that wasn’t helping to support his weight trailed up to your chest quickly and he began to massage, his fingers trailing over your buds. You threw your head back against the pillows and let out a strangled moan. You could feel his mouth stretch into a smirk against your skin. But it wasn’t there for long as his mouth followed his hand and his lips closed around one of your nipples, his tongue circling it. He switched his mouth over to the other to give it the same attention and he pushed his hips harder into your own, small groans emitting from the both of you. 
“Do you feel that?” He asked you as he pressed his erection against you through his pants. “Do you feel what you do to me? ” He almost growled the last bit into your ear as he rolled off to the side of you slightly and placed his hand right on your sex, spreading you and feeling the wetness there. “And what’s this?” He whispered. “I would hope this is only for me as well.”
“Of course it is, Eddie.”
With his grip on your jaw back still tight, he crushed his lips down onto yours. As he pulled away he sucked your bottom lip into his mouth and dragged it against his teeth. “Let’s find out then, princess.”
Before you could even question him you felt his middle finger slide into you deeply and effortlessly. You moaned loudly and his lips kept themselves busy at your neck and collar bones, surely leaving marks. He began to pump his finger out of you slowly, way too slowly for liking. Your hand flew down to his forearm and you dug your nails into his flesh, right above one of his tattoos, silently begging for more.
“More, yeah?” He asked you in the cockiest tone you had ever heard. But at this point you were so focused on his fingers and the pleasure that you didn’t even care. You whimpered out a yes and he smiled. “Alright then,” he replied. You barely even had time to breathe before he made his way down your body, threw your legs over his shoulders, and attached his mouth to your aching clit.
“Fuck!” You cried out and your hands clutched at the roots of his hair. He added another finger to the one already inside of you and his tongue was working your clit. His fingers got faster and faster and eventually he curved his fingers upwards to the one spot that made you lose it.
Your hips jerked in reaction and he smirked. “There it is,” Eddie murmured smugly. He continued to pump his fingers, occasionally curling his fingers and hitting your g-spot. He hit it so accurately and with perfect force each time that you could feel your orgasm drawing nearer and nearer. And so could he. Once he noticed that it wouldn’t be long before you came he withdrew his fingers from you. You began to protest but before you could even gather your breath to speak, his fingers were furiously rubbing your clit and his mouth was on your opening. 
“Eddie! Baby! Fuck!” You exclaimed, your hips rising up to grind against his mouth. You could feel your stomach tightening and your legs began to shake. You were so close. His tongue was delving in and out of you, occasionally giving you a long lick from your perineum all the way to your clit. “Come for me, baby,” He ordered you. “You’re doing so well. Just let me feel you come in my mouth.” With his husky and lust-filled words and his tongue on you, you climaxed.
He climbed back over you, resting one of his forearms next to your head, his other hand gripped your jaw firmly once again. He pressed his lips to yours, but this kiss felt different. It was still incredibly lustful yet you could feel every ounce of passion that he was pouring into it. Every ounce of love, adoration, and sudden possessiveness.
He pulled away and rested his head in the crook of your neck. “Tell me what you want, sweetheart.”
“You, Eddie. You.” You whimpered in response. 
He brushed the tip of his cock against you. “You sure about that? I'm the only one you want inside of you right now?”
You wanted to roll your eyes and respond with a snide comment about how much of a dick he was being, but you just couldn’t. Instead you raised your hips to meet him desperately. “Yes, Eddie, I swear. Only you. Please, please just fuck me.”
“I suppose that’s good enough,” he said and slid into you smoothly, all the way up to the hilt of his cock. You were completely at a loss for words, a breathless moan escaped the both of you. 
“Oh god, babe,” Eddie groaned into your neck. “You’re so tight. ” His hand drifted down to your thigh, leaving goosebumps in its wake. He grabbed your leg and hitched it up so that it hooked around him. Eddie started to move then. He pulled out slowly until just the tip remained inside of you and slid back in at an agonizingly slow pace. He groaned lowly into your ear and there was just something about the way his voice sounded that you almost came again right there. 
“Eddie,” You moaned loudly. “Please, faster. Harder.” 
“Beg for it.” He said and snapped his hips against yours. “Show me how bad you want it.”
“Please, Eddie, I need it so bad, baby. I need you.” You could hear your heartbeat in your ears and the tremble in your voice. “ Pleasepleaseplease.” 
“Hmmm,” He hummed into your ear. “Want you to say it.” His hips began to move more quickly, slamming himself into you hard and fast. His cock was brushing against your g-spot with each thrust and when he would occasionally press himself deep into and remained still for a few moments, his pelvis applied pressure to your clit and you were losing your mind.
“Eddie!” You screamed. Your nails were digging into his back even harder now and you would be surprised if the scratches on his back didn’t last for days.
“So tight and wet for me.” He gave a particularly hard thrust and you screamed out his name again. “I love it when you say my name,” He moaned to you. He continued to thrust himself into you, shifting your hips slightly to hit a new angle that made both of you shudder and moan. “My god, I love you so fucking much. You’re mine.” 
“I know, baby. I’m yours, Eddie, I’m yours,” You told him. You knew that’s really what he needed to hear. A new wave of pleasure came over you and you whined, “I’m so close. Eddie, I’m gonna come,” you whimpered.
“Say it,” he said to you, his voice softer and quieter now. More intimate. “Then you can come for me again, sweetheart.” 
“Master! Master!” 
“Good girl,” he slammed into you one last time. 
That did it. You came again, even harder than the first time. Your nails raked down his back slowly and Eddie groaned. His thrusts slowed down, letting you ride out your high while still chasing his. He pressed his lips to yours and swallowed your whimpers in a passionate kiss.
Fairly soon, he moaned your name against your lips and his hips stilled against yours. His hips jerked slightly against his will as he came inside you. Moans fell effortlessly from his lips and you swallowed them in a kiss just as he had done for you.
You stayed like that for a while, in each other's embrace. But soon you detangle your limbs from each other and you got up from the bed to retrieve your clothes. You pulled your underwear back on but neglected the rest of your clothing. You moved to Eddie’s wardrobe and pulled out an old ACDC t-shirt of his.
While you were doing all of this busy work Eddie had pulled his pajamas on and was now laying on the bed, arms behind his head, watching you with a content smirk.
He extended his arm to you and waved you over. “Come here, beautiful.”
You made your way over to the bed, falling onto the mattress and curling yourself into his side, his arms wrapping around you. “So,” you started, “you ever going to tell me what got into you tonight?”
Eddie shrugged, “I dunno, really. I just go so- so angry when I saw him flirting with you again. Like I wasn’t right fucking here still, your boyfriend. That he was suddenly better than me.”
“You know that’s not true, Eddie.”
“I know.” His eyes were closed and a smile was plastered on his face. “But it was nice to remind you again.” He pulled your hand to his mouth and placed a light kiss on your knuckles.
You smiled fondly at him. “You’re an idiot, but I love you.”
He molded his body around yours and draped an arm over you, dropping a blanket over the both of you in the process. 
You sighed contentedly. “I do. I really, really do.”
“And I love you,” Eddie said and nuzzled into your neck.

Tell Me, Then Would You Lend A Hand
Author: @funeralbeldam l Artist: @rrrrraatt Posting on Friday, October 13
An exploration of Steve's trauma. How it affects his everyday life, opens him up to Vecna, and sends him on a path of self discovery as the world is ending. His relationships with his friends - most notably one Eddie Munson - and how he views his own self worth. How one man will tear down Steve's curtain to reveal the truth inside, through the power of music. Who says metalheads and jocks -turning-punks can't get along?
Keep reading for a sneak preview!
Headaches. Nightmares. Hearing and seeing things.
All symptoms of Steve’s many blows to the head, and all the fucked up shit he’d gone through. His doctor had even warned him that from all the concussions, he might hear noises that weren’t there, or echoes of something loud. Tin…man-itus or some shit. Steve could never remember what it was called, and he sure as hell couldn’t afford to go to the hospital again.
He’d only been seen because the paramedics outside the mall had insisted, and the government had swooped in to cover up all traces of what really happened.
Including Steve’s medical bills, and the visible signs of prolonged torture. A guy like Steve Harrington wouldn’t need therapy - his father would have actually flown home solely to kick his ass if word got out that he was in therapy - so he didn’t get it. 
He was just sent home and told to carry on with his life, and follow the very strict guidelines of his NDA.
So, naturally, he hadn’t thought anything of it. He’d been seeing things ever since that demogorgon crashed through the Byers’ ceiling and changed his life forever. Robin talked about it sometimes - post-traumatic yadda yadda bullshit. She knew a lot about all that psychiatry stuff, and pushed these scary sounding names but Steve waved it off every time  and told her he was fine.
So what if he’d been hearing a clock chiming? It was just his head being stupid, as usual, so he’d ignored it. Passed the headaches off as migraines, remaining thankful that they didn’t always render him completely useless. And, well… Steve did his best not to sleep if he could help it. Avoidance was something he was a pro at.
Read more on October 13!

i feel like steve definitely feels more secure in showing his love vs saying it anyway (as i've basically said before, saying it has been very painful. h he would just adore hearing it though) partly because he enjoys it but also its the underlying terrified feeling that if he isn't being useful,providing something, that he won't matter. if someone finds joy in something he's doing for them (how he used to host parties for tommy, giving dustin a ride etc) then they've found joy in him. ps: i am having a bad day, have any steve thoughts running through your head you'd like to share? i'd love to read what you have to say
Oh yeah, I definitely agree that Steve shows HIS love, I just think he has a hard time understanding that other people are showing him love. Very sweet idea 💛 He could use all the love
An idea that I have, inspired by all the Frank-N-Furter Eddie things I've seen.
Eddie and Robin are sneaky little devils and decide to snatch some of Steve and Nancy's clothes without getting caught. Steve and Nancy notice of course but are just like "...ok whatever..."
But then they watch Rocky Horror.
Steve and Nancy notice the giggles and the whispers accompanied by the glances their direction.
At the Halloween Party they decide to go to, Eddie and Robin proudly roll up as Brad and Janet in Steve and Nancy's clothing. They have secured best couples costumes, against the odds of not actually being a couple.
Until...
Robin freezes in place as Nancy struts in, hair sprayed red in it's curly glory, rocking fishnets and a maid outfit as Magenta.
But Eddie, Eddie is rendered absolutely dropped-his-beer-can-speechless. Steve presses a red lipsticked kiss to his cheek, towering above him in his heels, the hottest Frank since Tim Curry.
🎃🎃👁👄👁🎃🎃

Steve, Eddie and Robin drop by Nancy's workplace and while they are joking around, Nancy is this close to get mad because one of her coworkers hands her a foreign letter, and it is written in two languages mixed together, none of which she knows.
Nancy finally hits the table and everyone turns to her. "Oh hey." Steve says, "Chill. What's wrong?" And while Nancy is explaining, Robin glances at the letter and "Oh it's Russian and France. Kind of a code. Look."
And Nancy just stares at Robin works out the letter in awe.
Bonus a very proud Steve in the back.
thank you for the wonderful request!! it ended up just being in russian, i hope that's alright! i might write another with a french-speaking Robin, she's so cool :)
INCLUDES STRANGER THINGS SEASON 4 VOLUME 2 SPOILERS
Kyoto (2,083 words)
The Hawkins Post was six feet under - no, literally. Unfortunately (or fortunately, in this case) it’d been built right above the Upside-Down fault line. Diana, a twenty-something waitress who worked at the cafe across the street, told Nancy it’d crumbled like ash underneath the overwhelming heat of the crack.
And so when the rest of Hawkins was busy trying to put itself back together, Nancy focused on what’d always been there; the news. She, accompanied by her ragtag group of clumsy teenage friends, recorded bits and pieces of what was happening to the citizens. Out of the earthquake (or the End of the World) grew a desperate need for a place to collect requests for supplies, missing notices, obituaries, and some good news too, what little there was of it. The first draft of the Hawkins Sun made her mother cry over a story about a father reuniting with his daughter - Hawkin’s previously-dead police chief and his adopted teenage girl brought back together by the earthquake. It was a good cry, Nancy’s mom promised as tears blotted the still-drying ink. 
Now three months later the Hawkins Sun set up shop in the skeleton of the old printing press in the basement of Hawkins High, the high school paper thankfully merging into it because of, well. The lack of students available to help. Either they’d skipped town or disappeared within the smoke and ash from the fault line break. Hawkins High took one look at Nancy’s efforts and handed her a diploma without final exams or a walk across the stage. She took it without question. There were more important things to worry about than a cap or a gown or an afterparty with stale beer.
Unfortunately the printing press still had no air conditioning. A late August afternoon spent slaving over the Sunday issue, set to be sent out and copied that night, had Nancy close to passing out at her desk. She was debating the wording of a short story about Nana’s Bakery, a place downtown, that had given out free breakfast to those who needed it a few days before. As she shifted around words with her eraser and her scissors, tongue between her teeth and deep in thought, the three Stooges decided to walk in.
Steve Harrington’s big and familiar hand (now scarred irreparably) came down first, landing softly on the desk. Just enough to get her attention. Nancy’s head whipped up so fast her reading glasses nearly fell off her face. Steve, ever the hero, swooped in to push them back up onto her nose with a charming smile, one that would’ve had her swooning over three years ago. But it was not three years ago, so she just smiled tight-lipped in return.
Beside him, as he tended to be, was newly innocent Eddie Munson. The earthquake had hindered the witch hunt for Eddie but not enough, so he’d been hiding out since spring break. That is, until mid-June brought him a judge-officiated sentence of ‘NOT GUILTY’. Even though the majority of the townsfolk hesitated to respect it, Eddie was a free man. 
Eddie leaned on Steve’s shoulder, both from the want to be close and also from necessity. His brush with death in the Upside-Down had rendered one leg completely useless and later removed. As the shady government figures (who’d bought the Hopper-Byers house in upper-class Twin Pines) worked on making Eddie a sufficient prosthetic limb, Eddie walked slowly with one foot and spent the majority of his time being Steve’s other half. Which Steve didn’t seem to mind. In fact, it was the complete opposite. Nancy was happy for them. 
On Steve’s other side, a little farther back from the desk but no less visible, was Robin Buckley. Nancy’s first true girl friend since Barb. Robin Buckley, whose nearly overwhelming beauty wafted over in waves of fruity scent despite their lack of proximity. Nancy had been anxious over not getting the cover story worked out by tonight, but Robin’s presence put even a deeper dent into her productivity. Nancy couldn’t even get angry at her for it. 
Robin’s newly chopped bob, hair that barely reached her ears, swung around her head as she walked over. Short hair looked good on her, even with the tiny, dumb-looking ponytail Robin had tied at the base of her head to try and keep stray hairs off of her neck in the heat. 
“Anything good today, Nance?” Steve asked as he peered over her work. Nancy resisted the urge to shoo his grabbing hands away like he was a small child and instead gestured over to a crowded desk beside her. 
“I’m working out one of our last stories,” She explained. “I don’t think the wording is right, though.”
“Nancy!” Her co-worker, Paul, called her over from behind. She felt him brush past her as he dropped a scribbled letter down onto her workspace. “This came for you today. Good luck trying to read it. I have no fucking clue.” Nancy laughed before squinting her eyes. She picked up the piece of paper in confusion. It was in a language Nancy had never seen before.
“Do you know how to read this?” She asked Steve and Eddie, holding it up to them. Both squinted, expressions eerily mirroring each other. 
“I have no idea,” Steve said.
“It’s in Russian, I think,” Eddie spoke at the same time. The two looked at each other and Nancy fake-gagged at them, taking the letter back.
“You two are sickening,” She said with a laugh, spreading out the paper onto her desk and leaning closer. 
She had to take Eddie’s word for it, although knowing the language didn’t help at all. So what if it was Russian? She didn’t know Russian, couldn’t even begin to know it. All Nancy knew was about a year’s worth of Spanish taken her freshman year, which was fairly embarrassing - she wanted to know more languages, but fighting monsters from an alternate dimension took up the majority of her free time. There wasn’t a chance to learn languages.
Her fingers absently traced the edges of the page as she furrowed her eyebrows deeper. Maybe something about the news? If only one of the words were recognizable, but it was all gibberish. Especially because the alphabet differed so much from English - half of the symbols were alien to her. Nancy let out a little frustrated noise.
“Do you think it’s important?” Steve asked.
“I hope not,” Nancy groaned. “Jesus, this is impossible to read. It’s too hot for this.” She contemplated balling up the page and tossing it in a trash can, damn the consequences. Something in the back of her mind told her though that perhaps a letter in Russian, especially with the uncertainty of the gates being closed and Vecna still half-burnt and zombielike out there somewhere, made her instead smooth out the letter’s creases.
“What’s up?” Robin appeared then, leaning over the desk in the same way Steve was. Her bangs fell in her eyes, all sun-tinged brown strands that had Nancy’s heart leaping up to her throat. “Oh, shit! Is that in Russian?”
“Uh, I guess,” Was all Nancy could come up with. Instantly she felt stupid for stuttering like that. But Robin didn’t seem to notice or judge her for it. Instead she rounded the desk, coming to stand over Nancy’s shoulder and read the letter behind her. Dimly Nancy recognized their height difference, how Robin’s bangs brushed with her own as she leaned over to check out the letter. How Robin’s body radiated heat, something Nancy had been trying to avoid all day but now she wanted nothing more but to suffocate herself in, drown in the smell of Robin and her proximity. 
“I know Russian, by the way,” Robin said carelessly, like it was a normal conversation starter. Nancy opened her mouth to speak but then Robin covered one of her hands with her own to hold up the letter closer, breath hitting the shell of Nancy’s ear as she leaned in. Nancy’s eyes went wide. They darted up to Steve’s, who was watching them with a shit-eating grin on his face. That fucker.
“You-you know Russian?” Nancy asked, amazed. Robin hummed an affirmative, clearly not hearing just how shocked Nancy was.
“I think this letter was forwarded to you,” Robin said. “Do you have the envelope?”
“Paul probably does,” Nancy spoke in a daze.
“It’s addressed from somebody who calls himself Enzo,” Robin explained. She stretched out a long, beautiful finger to gesture to where no doubt the aforementioned name was written. “It was for Hopper, I think. Or some guy named Murray. Maybe Murray sent this for you to see too?”
“Murray,” Nancy spoke softly. “Yeah, I know him. He speaks Russian too, I think.”
“Cool,” Robin said. Nancy dared to turn and saw Robin’s pearly grin up close to her eyes. She nearly fainted.
“I can’t believe you know Russian,” Nancy admitted. Robin shrugged self-consciously, a bashful smile on her face.
“I dunno, I’m good with languages,” Robin said, laughing a little. Nancy nodded because of course this girl was good with languages. Was there anything she was bad at? “Anyway, it basically details a bunch of stuff about a gate in Russia. Maybe Hopper knows more?”
“We’ll bring it to him,” Nancy agreed. “So - wait, if you know how to read Russian, that means -”
“Я говорю́ по-ру́сски,” Robin said, tongue flicking out as she spoke. And okay, if Nancy was close to fainting before - she was on the verge of death now. Robin’s voice dropped about an octave when she spoke, hitting the vowel sounds just right. Her throat moved slightly, swallowing. Nancy couldn’t take her eyes away from Robin’s mouth, from her moving neck, from her tongue still left sticking out just slightly. She knew she looked insane but there was no amount of willpower in the world that could’ve gotten her to stop staring. 
“What did you say?” Nancy whispered, eyes wide.
“I said ‘I speak Russian’,” Robin laughed, eyes twinkling.
“Can you two stop fucking in the middle of the printing room?” Eddie said dryly. Nancy remembered she wasn’t dreaming and looked back up, no doubt face as red as the surface of the sun. Eddie and Steve were wearing matching grins like the obnoxious couple they were. Nancy snuck a glance back at Robin, whose cheeks were pink. But neither made any move to put space in between.
“We can drop the letter off to Hopper,” Robin suggested after a moment, voice cracking before she coughed and swallowed again. It was cute how flustered she was and it would’ve been cuter if Nancy wasn’t so equally shaken up. “You know. ‘Cause you need to work, and stuff.”
“Okay,” Nancy said, even though what she really wanted Robin to do was to merge into her. Even if that was physically impossible. She shouldn’t leave her side, that’s for sure. Robin picked up the letter softly, folding it over and over as she stepped back. It was almost painful to lose that contact. “Come back to tell me what he says, yeah?”
“Will do,” Steve nodded as he and Eddie stepped away from the desk, heading for the door. Robin turned to follow but she spun back around before she fully disappeared. She squared her shoulders and took a breath.
“Would you wanna - um. Learn Russian with me, sometime?” Robin squeaked out. Her face was bright red. “I can teach you, you know. Some phrases. If you want.”
“I do want,” Nancy agreed, embarrassed at how fast the words came out. She nodded for emphasis. “I really, really want.”
“Cool,” Robin said. She clapped her hands as if to finish the conversation. “Okay. Um - 
До свидания!” She spun around again, nearly tripping over nothing as she rushed for the door. 
“What does that one mean?” Nancy called after her, heart fluttering in her chest. She couldn’t help but grin as Robin spun back around, hand pushing open the door that led out into the rest of Hawkins High.
“It means goodbye,” Robin said over her shoulder. “Or, um. ‘Until next time’.” Nancy let herself really grin then, the smile staying even after Robin was long gone. Maybe Robin could teach her how to say ‘I really like you’ in Russian. Maybe she’d get her in English, anyway. Nancy wanted to express the emotion in both languages, though. 
She wanted to tell Robin she liked her in every language available.
:) Should I write a language-study date part two?

request. there’s a house party at yours but it’s been taken over by the popular kids and now ur seeking refuge in your room. evidently eddie munson is already there
oh hey ari [wink squelches]
Tumblr media
the loud sound stops when you enter your room and slam the door loudly behind you. it renders the music muffled from the thick walls, allowing you to breathe after having to hold your breath for almost an hour between sweaty teenagers and spilt fruit punch.
you run a hand through your hair, sweaty from the amount of heat living bodies produce downstairs at the living room. you wipe the sticky substance off your face, coming over to sit on your bed and hopefully the soft comforter actually gives you comfort.
"hey,"
you yell, heart beating out of your chest, ears registering that the sound has come from your right — to the window. where you whip your head and see eddie munson with a cigarette between his lips, clad in a leather jacket and black denims. the open window blows the hair out of his face, curls mingling with the smoke he emits.
"hi," your hand leaves your chest, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear. "what are you doing here?"
"needed to smoke," eddie shrugs, leaving the fag in his pink mouth, speech muffled into a lisp at the bothering item. "couldn't smoke without accidentally burning someone down there, can't we?"
you laugh, even though you think it's not at all that funny. "right."
"what about you?" he leaves the window, removing his cigarette, ruined sneakers meeting your floor but never sitting opposite of you. "it's your party, isn't it? what are you doing here?"
"some assholes came and took over the party. now i've got two vases broken," you run a hand down your face, hopefully rubbing the slight anger off. "couldn't even let me go to my kitchen to drink a glass of my water."
his rings clink when he pushes his hair back, bangs falling back to it's place down on his forehead, kinks all tangled and dry, but it fits him well. eddie gives you a short chuckle, finally sitting down on the bed in a small bounce. "that's what happens when you host a party."
"remind me never to host one again."
this time you both laugh, finding your comment risible as you both fill the space in mutual seclusion. "hey you're uh, (y/n), right? the one who allows underage drinking in their parties?"
your eyebrows furrow, looking away from him to be in thought. "no, that's — that's carol. one of steve harrington's friends? i don't let minors in here." you see him nod on your peripherals. "what about you? you're the drug dealer, right?"
the question is futile because you know who he is, but you only hope to match his vibe. eddie munson's metallic and freakish hair is easily recognizable, the intrinsic element to his mien that names him unique amongst the pretentious crowd.
and he's secretly happy you recognized him as a drug dealer than a freak.
"yeah, uh, that's me," he takes a long hit, puffing the smoke into the air inside your bedroom. "eddie munson at your service. although, don't tell everyone i'm a drug dealer,"
his smile is wide and infectious, white teeth glaring back at yours before his lips come around his cigarette, though not being sucked. "noted," you tell him, patting down your skirt.
you dismiss the way his eyes flit down to where your hands pat your skirt, clothing just above your knee but appears halfway down your thigh when sat down. eddie scans you, the glint on his eyes deeming amorous. but when they come back up to yours, he seed your own eyeing his cigarette.
eddie removes takes it out, offers it to you. "wanna try?"
though as you eye it suspiciously, you nod with lips tugged downwards. "yeah, why not. think i might need it anyway."
he guides your head to his awaiting cigarette, placing your lips to where his used to be in an indirect kiss. eddie tells you to inhale, makes a cooing sound of appraise when you do, and takes it off your frowning lips.
"shit," he laughs when you cough the smoke violently to his face, the tobacco evading your mouth and possibly your throat as it seeps down to your lungs. "damn, munson."
like a drunken motive (but really he lets his thoughts win), eddie's hand comes up to push your hair behind your ear and admire your gradually relaxing face, cheek melting into his touch. his metal skulls send shiver down your spine as it meets your hot flesh, and you wonder if maybe's he's got more than a cigarette to give you.

ok i know that Eddie's whole graduation speech + his picture being in the yearbook is definitely a hot topic, but it didn't occur to me until now.......prom.
like imagine Eddie surviving and healing in time for prom, something he never even thought about attending because why would he want to go to a dance filled with people who would rather avoid him? plus, they're not really his thing anyways (a suit is WAY too stuffy for him besides being too expensive) and he'd rather hang out with Hellfire or practice with Corroded Coffin.
but he has you, and you want to go, and there's no way he's gonna disappoint you by insisting he's not gonna join you. that would be kind of a dick move and he knows now that life can be cut very, very short, so he's not gonna skip out on some potentially good memories with his angel.
so he gets the tickets, crafts some little matching corsages for you two out of some wildflowers growing around the trailer, and uncle Wayne surprises him with his own suit to borrow for the event and shows him how to wear it. it's a little ill-fitting in places but it's much better than nothing, and Wayne even gifts him some really nice cologne he had stored away so he can "impress that pretty date of yours", and then helps him get ready when the night comes. pulls his hair back for him into a ponytail, and fixes his tie for him before turning him to the mirror, and patting his shoulder with pride in his eyes at his nephew growing up right in front of him.
and when you show up at the trailer to meet him, all dressed up and eager with a huge smile on your face, Eddie's breath is just taken away the first moment he locks eyes with you. it's like he's seeing you for the first time all over again, and for once he struggles to find the words, or any words, to express how he's feeling in that moment. he can't. you just render them all inadequate, because the love he feels when he looks at you is beyond words--and he finds himself squeezing you so tightly to his chest, arms so strong around you like he doesn't ever want to let you go. it's such a sobering experience after that close scrape with death, and any hesitancy he had about going out and enjoying prom with you is erased completely.
Eddie's glad it did when you get there, too. there's very few people either of you associate with there, and even fewer who want to associate with you. there are whispers about the freak crashing the party, and snickering about Eddie's secondhand suit and the lopsided, cheap corsages you're both wearing, but they all fall deaf to Eddie's ears when he's next to you, because you're all he has his attention on.
when it comes time to lead him to the dance floor, you're so gentle and cautious with him--he's still recovering, after all, and you don't want to stress him out too much more than you already have. but he lets your hands lie where they may and holds your waist in either of his, his steps an echo of the ones that Dustin and Steve spent a whole week teaching him. it isn't what he pictured, swaying to some soft music surrounded by a crowd of conformists, and sharing kisses with someone he would never even dream he'd be with. but when your foreheads finally touch as you lean into each other, and you let that sweet voice of yours pierce through the music to tell him "I love you" in his ear, Eddie finally finds those words he was searching for.
"I love you more, my angel."
