Good Things for the Bad Sort on AO3

For: @the-redcrate /red_crate

Relationships: Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson; minor Steve Harrington & Robin Buckley & Eddie Munson

Summary:

Good things did not happen to Eddie Munson.

It isn't a rule, but going through the world expecting the worst has become a habit. Maybe he's not meant for anything else. If good things do happen, Eddie knows they're just specks in an ocean of crap. For every friend he's made, for every gig that's ended with applause (instead of someone puking on their gear), for every break he's caught… there's always the other shoe, waiting to drop.

These days, Eddie has been looking for the other shoe a lot. So, of course, when he winds up stuck sharing the six-hour train ride from Perdue University back to Hawkins with Steve Harrington, he's immediately on the defensive. But Steve isn't at all like he thought, and the two of them actually kind of get along. Maybe more than get along.

Eddie knows it's dangerous to let himself develop feelings for a guy like Steve, but when Steve enlists his help in getting a last-minute Christmas gift for Robin, he can't help but hope that maybe this time he's destined for something good.

Me? I’m scared of everything. I’m scared of what I saw, I’m scared of what I did, about who I am and most of all I’m scared of walkin’ out of this and never feelin’ the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I’m with you. Dirty Dancing (1987) dir. Emile Ardolino
