#Eddie deffo tried the door realised it was unlocked and didn't say shit

[sarcasticassian]

I feel like there’s definitely a universe where Steve heard Eddie singing Nancy’s praises and somehow got the idea in his head that Eddie has a crush on Nancy, so after the hospital he watches them because yeah Jonathan is back but things seem a little weird with him and Nancy and is it because Nancy has a crush on Eddie as well? 

her and Eddie start hanging out more just the two of them as well as with Steve and Robin (a trek through the Upside Down and then later pulling one of them who is nearly dead out of there can really bond a group) and Steve thinks the pieces are slotting together

Eddie and Nancy have study sessions together, they talk about D&D, Eddie shows Nancy some metal bands and she seems to like them and they talk about random books and movies together for hours, tucked away on a couch when the Party hangs out they gossip like old ladies and have their own inside jokes, it makes Steve itch because it looks like Nancy and Jonathan aren’t breaking up and he feels bad for Eddie so he tries to be his friend and hang out with him when Nancy is off on dates and ignores the way his stomach constantly clenches when he’s around Eddie

Robin is watching this slow motion car crash of Steve realising he likes Eddie and panicking that he can’t talk to Eddie about his interests like Nancy can and having a downward spiral about it all, she’s also watching Eddie’s eyes follow Steve around at every hang out whilst Nancy scoffs in the background and gently bullies their friend about his obvious crush on her ex

one night the girls get bored enough that they lock Steve and Eddie in a closet (ha) and go and watch a movie and gossip whilst the boys sort themselves out, unlocking the door but not opening it after their movie is over and their nails are dry

Steve rants to Robin for an hour the next day about how he and Eddie had to stay in that closet all night and that was really mean Robin, Nancy pops up from somewhere within Family Video to tell Steve the door was open and does it really matter when he got to curl up with Eddie all night? no so calm down and also she’s going to watch Eddie’s band play at the Hideout on Tuesday, does he want to tag along and glare at Eddie’s other friends too or did she just get special treatment because Steve thought Eddie liked her

Steve gapes at her but eventually Robin agrees that they’ll go because she has a shovel talk she needs to give actually
