40 year old omega Steve who lives a boring life with an office job and no luck with love, happy to just tend to his garden…

At least until his loud, obnoxious 20 year old neighbor Eddie goes into his first rut and ends up sniffing him out and barging in to fuck him.

Steve knows it’s a bad idea.

The alpha is hot, but he’s also way too young for Steve. Eddie should be calling up a friend to spend his rut with or acquiring a “pocket omega.”

But Eddie’s growling and promising to knock him up and put his pups in Steve and it’s hard to say ‘no.’

Steve’s an experienced omega and he’s been a rut partner more times than he can count, but excitable, fidgety, virgin Eddie is a whole new experience for him.

He’s horny, sure, but he’s also worshipping Steve and lavishing him in compliments and sweet kisses.

Even in the midst of their bang-a-thon, Steve feels special. He feels desired, even.

Nobody has called him pretty in at least five years, but Eddie can’t seem to stop saying it like it’s a fact.

“Pretty omega.”

A kiss.

“So pretty, Steve.”

A knot.

“My pretty mate.”

A bite.

Wealthy omega Steve going on an arranged date each week to the same restaurant because his parents want him to find a mate.

Alpha Eddie who busks in the parking lot for tips and always offers him a cigarette and a shoulder to cry on after it doesn’t work out.

It takes them a while.

“Another one? That’s the third date this week, pretty boy. You going for a record or something?” Eddie asks, already holding his half-finished cigarette out for Steve to take.

He does. It’s his only reward for doing all of this.

Well, that and Eddie.

Eddie makes this easier.

Steve takes a long draw from it, craving the burn of nicotine more than he cares to admit to himself.

He craves Eddie’s company too, but that’s between him and the cigarette.

“Yeah, my parents are working overtime it seems. They’re bound and determined to have me mated off before spring.”

Steve laughs.

Eddie doesn’t.

“They sound awful.”

They are. Their insistence on old-fashioned values and treating their omega son like a burden to be rid of is proof enough.

“They mean well,” he says. “I think.”

Eddie hums thoughtfully. It’s clear that he disagrees.

Steve passes the cigarette back.

The alpha snubs it out on the sidewalk they’re sitting on instead.

“How long are you gonna keep doing this for?”

“Well, as long as it takes to find someone who’s interested, I guess. There’s not an exact timeline or any—”

Eddie startles Steve when he cuts him off with a growl.

He doesn’t look mad, but his forehead creases, deep frown, and sour scent speaks of irritation.

“Not what I meant.”

Oh.

“I don’t know, Eddie. They’re my parents… and it’s not like I’ve got anyone else knocking down my door.”

Even his dates aren’t interested once they’ve met him in person.

Steve always looks good on paper. He’s attractive and from an upstanding family, a decent investment at first glance.

But then he opens his mouth. That’s where their interest always ends.

Sometime between shaking hands and dessert, their eyes get bored and they start checking their watch more. They don’t bother to hide that they’re running out the clock, eager to be away from Steve.

He thought it would hurt less after a while, but it doesn’t.

“How many times are we gonna do this, Stevie?“

And now even Eddie is bored with him. It makes sense. They’ve been meeting up for months and Steve isn’t worth much for stimulating conversation.

It had to end eventually.

“I’m sorry. I— I didn’t realize I was bothering you. I can leave you to your gigging, man. Let me just—”

Steve reaches for his wallet, pulling out a thick wad of bills to shove in Eddie’s guitar case as an apology for taking up his precious time.

Compensation for the therapy.

“Hey, no— that’s not what I meant, baby. I just— ugh, why is this so hard to say?” Eddie groans, grabbing at his own hair in frustration.

Steve hasn’t the faintest idea what’s ailing Eddie. The guy is normally chill 100% of the time. It’s why Steve goes to him for comfort. He’s hard to shake.

“Sorry?” he tries.

“No, I’m sorry! I just can’t sit here for yet another evening and pretend like there are more fish in the sea for you or whatever,” Eddie explains frantically, his eyes begging Steve to understand.

Ouch. Okay. Point made.

Steve is unlovable, got it.

He stands, brushing off his slacks so his shaking hands aren’t as noticeable.

Keep cool. Breathe.

“Understood. I won’t bother you anymore then. I can park across the street next time too. Good luck with everything, Eddie. I’m sure your band will get signed soon, you’re a talented musician.”

Eddie shoots to his feet, almost tripping over his own lanky limbs in the process.

He grabs the sleeve of Steve’s dress shirt, stopping him from leaving.

“Don’t go on anymore dates.”

Jesus.

“Yeah, I got it the first time, thanks. I’m undesirable. Can you stop repeating it?”

Eddie looks like he’s been slapped, but he doesn’t say anything back. The bluntness must have caught him off guard.

Steve sighs, attempting to pull free from the alpha’s grip.

He almost manages it.

But then Eddie snaps back to reality and his eyes go wide for just a split moment before he kisses Steve right on the lips.

It’s unexpected to say the least.

It’s also probably the best kiss of his entire life. Too bad it’s from someone who just told him to quit dating because nobody will ever want to court him.

They finally break apart and Steve sways.

“Eddie… what in the actual hell are you—?”

“I love you! I love you— I’ve been in love with you for months, but you insist on going on all these dates with alphas who have no taste and they keep breaking your heart and leaving me to pick up the pieces, but I don’t want to keep handing them back. I want to keep you, Steve. I want to be the only alpha you go on dates with.”

Steve stops trying to run away.

Instead, he yanks at the collar of Eddie’s shirt, tugging him into another, longer kiss.

This is love, huh? Makes sense.

His lips are warm and so is his heart. Patched up once more and encased in a body other than his own

No more arranged dates.

“That was a ‘yes,’ in case it didn’t translate.”

Eddie’s face is flushed and his happy smile is infectious.

“I don’t have the kind of money your usual dates have, but I had this really cute guy way overtip me earlier. Can I buy you dinner, pretty boy?”

It’s the first of many.

steve's only active on tiktok when he goes on tour with corroded coffin. he posts one that's of a peaceful looking eddie with his head in steve's lap at the park of whatever city they're in and steve's running is fingers through his hair with the soft version of "here comes the boy, hello boy" and the sparkly filter over it

the cc boys post one later that day with the chaotic version of the audio of eddie almost falling off stage and climbing on shit he's not supposed to and being a general menace backstage

#steddie #corroded coffin

[smokingthemoutbasement]

Eddie and Steve had a will they/wont they going on for years while Eddie did the whole famous rockstar thing. And now he’s on a break. Two platinum records with Corroded Coffin behind him, Eddie can finally concentrate on Steve. And the miracle is that Steve never resented Eddie for focusing on his career. That wasn’t a problem for him. He waited (sometimes patiently and sometimes not) until it was his turn, and when they got together, it was just as incredible as both had expected it would be.

So you can’t blame Eddie for writing his first solo album all about Steve. He’s done hiding in the closet for his career, so it’s he/him pronouns and filthy imagery. Shockingly it sells like you wouldn’t believe. In fact, he’s getting picked up in markets he never reached before. And when he gets the numbers for radio stations, he’s killing it on stations totally unfamiliar to him. But he’s still completely wrapped up in Steve so he’s not paying a lot of attention and he lets his manager take care of everything.

The mystery is revealed the day they get a package from Wayne. It contains clippings from newspapers and magazines, and a note that just says, “Something you want to tell me, boy?” All the headlines are some variation of “Former Satanist Eddie Munson Releases Worship Album quietly signaling his conversion to Christianity”

Eddie is furious and Steve has to watch him throw a tantrum yelling and screaming. When he eventually calms down Steve reminds Eddie that doing zero press and releasing songs like, “On My Knees in Worship” and “He is my Sunrise and my Salvation” might in fact be a little misleading.

They spend the rest of the night giggling about all the good Christians listening to songs about their sex life.

ARE U KIDDING ME

#excuse me #he must be stopped #joe keery

[smokingthemoutbasement]

Just… hard of hearing omega steve being sad because he’s figured that he’s never going to be able to find his soul mate because he can’t hear them laugh. In a universe where you know who your soul mate is by the sound of their laugh, the sound of their voice, etc. Any noise the person makes you’ll just know. Of course he can faintly hear his dates talking, but it’s commonly only a slight buzz. He hasn’t been able to find good hearing aids that don’t agitate his ears, and if he can’t find his soul mate then he’s going to find someone for true love. And if he wears his aids most commonly said person doesn’t put a whole lot of effort into making sure he understands them.

The problem isn’t that he can’t hear them talk. He’s okay with that. He’s used to that, he was mostly born like this and then a few to many concussions messed his hearing up more. The problem is when he makes the date laugh they make it soft. To soft for him to hear. Like they are trying to not be themselves around him. Betas are shyer then the Alphas. Which means they laugh softly, afraid to mess up the opportunity of making it with a omega. Then most of the Alphas were to busy trying to make him laugh so he doesn’t catch what they are saying. So he’s given up on the thought of mates.

Then he meets Eddie. Dustin’s DnD dm. Whatever that means. He doesn’t have his hearing aids on, knowing that the loud noise of the kids would overstimulate him. The smell of Alpha filling his nose, a scent like fresh cut wood, coffee and nutmeg. It’s a relaxing scent and he beams as he finally meets the “other guy” to Dustin. It’s no secret that Steve is a omega, everyone knows it. Though he doesn’t give a shit and will talk to every one the same. Instead of being shy or reserved with a alpha like most omegas he’s open and sincere. Part of the reason why he has so many people around him to begin with.

Dustin does something, causing Steve to retort a soft joke. Feeling the words leave his mouth, probably with a slight slur to them from not hearing them fully. Which no one cared about. Though what startled him is Eddie. Who tosses his head back and laughs. Actually laughs and it goes back to his brain. He can hear it through the buzz. Eyes wide and a soft flush to his face and just like that he knows. That this Alpha was his. Who doesn’t know it yet.

“You have a nice laugh.” He hums gently. Watching the small blush on Eddie’s face, confusion showing next. Obvious to ask how he could hear him considering he hasn’t been able to hear anything else. Steve turns his head catching something Dustin does and laughs himself. Not realizing Eddie was having the same realization as him.

What they both don’t know is that Dustin set this whole thing up.
