Steve Harrington x Fem!Reader

(JUST LOOK AT HIM OH MY FUCKING GODS DGSDHGHSDGHSDHGHIRDSHIG MY COOCHIE)

Steve Harrington was a lot of things, and as of late a ladies man was not one of them. Sure he could get dates now that he actually listened to the advice that Robin gave him, however he wanted more than just meaningless hookups and dates with girls who could barely hold a conversation. He wanted a relationship, craved the closeness and intimacy of it all, he wanted a best friend and a lover in one, but somehow day by day he lost hope that he’d find that in Hawkins.

That was until he laid eyes on Y/n Y/l/n. He remembered her from highschool-solely because she hung out with Eddie ‘The Freak’ Munson and his group of metalhead losers-granted now Steve didn’t consider them losers, after all he did experience a large amount of character growth throughout his senior year of high school. He’d still won prom king though. 

People knew Y/n, not because she was stereotypically popular, but because she was a hot commodity-people wanted her but she let a very select few get that-hell Steve knew exactly zero people who’d managed to get past her mean facade-or get past the layers of black, denim, leather, and eyeliner. 

The girl was attractive-that much was a fact. Guys always talked about wanting to see “if she was as freaky as the shit she’s into”-something that Steve usually brushed off, ignoring them due to his relationship status alongside his social status. He had English with her, and for their Shakespeare analysis project she’d been partnered with Tommy H. The same Tommy H. decided to brag about sleeping with her for two weeks after the project was presented-that was until she’d smashed his front windshield with a baseball bat in the school parking lot during lunch-then he admitted to lying about it-she was suspended for two weeks.

However Steve wanted more than to sleep with her-there was something else to her-something he’d noticed the day she walked into the Family Video with Max Mayfield in tow. While Max said her hellos to Steve and Robin, Y/n looked around the comedy section-a shock to Steve as he expected her to be a Horror kind of girl. That’s when he realized that there was always more than meets the eye.

She worked at the arcade next door to his job, and after cornering Lucas and Dustin he found out that she was rather close to Max, the redhead had gone to the Arcade often-trying to find a distraction while she grieved her brother’s death-and Y/n just happened to be the one on the mid-day shift.

Lucas and Dustin did a horrible job explaining her friendship with Max, however from what they did know she was the only person Max found herself talking to-telling her about the things she was going through-and opening up to. In a way Y/n filled in the role of an older sister for Max, and when she found out some of the Junior and Senior boys at Hawkins were trying to bully Max, while simultaneously bringing up her douchebag brother’s death she did not hesitate to show up to the high school, bat in tow.

Everyone knew Y/n wasn’t afraid of being arrested-she’d been arrested more than once, Hopper letting her off the hook each and every time because the missing Sheriff-supposedly deceased which Y/n did not believe-had a soft spot for her. After all, the girl was just a troubled teen-and she found her way by standing up for herself by any means necessary.

All Y/n had to do was speed into the parking lot, get out of the black Monte Carlo with her bat in hand and make her way towards the convertible full of jocks-some she remembered others she asked Eddie about-and hop on top of the front hood. She pointed the bat at the boys, a smile on her face, black lipstick perfectly applied as she smiled down at them. 

She only said two sentences: “You see that pretty little redhead over there-Max-yeah talk to her again and I’ll personally knock your teeth in” followed by “Nod your empty little heads if you understand me”, then got off the car, knocking the bat into the hood, leaving a sizable dent before blowing them a kiss and walking off. Of course the teenage boys tried to explain what had happened at lunch-however the beauty of it being the Fall of 1985 was that there were no active security cameras monitoring the outside of the buildings and because the boys were all bullies-there were no other witnesses to prove their case.

After it happened Dustin explained the entire scene to Steve, Robin excitedly nodding along while mumbling about how badass Y/n looked, then going on a tangent about how pretty the girl was-all the while Steve found himself thinking more and more about her.

Then a week later he finally saw her in the parking lot, the two pulling into work at the same time. She stepped out of the black car wearing a black The Ramones baggy shirt tucked into a pair of black frayed denim shorts, ripped fishnets on her legs, her voluminous hair framed her face. He watched as she slid her black sunglasses off, eyes adorned with black eyeliner and messy eyeshadow, lips lined with black, colored red. 

From that moment he was Smitten. She was the pretty, mean, punk rock girl that worked behind the Arcade counter and he wanted nothing but her. 

The only problem was that Y/n Y/l/n did not like Steve Harrington. The minute she spotted him staring at her all she did was raise a brow, before telling him to “fuck off pretty boy”. But even then the way she said ‘pretty boy’ made him blush and he thought about it all day.

All of that happened four months ago, it was now January and he was still smitten. He’d see her walking into work, and occasionally when he’d close so would she. He’d see her walk through the front doors of the Arcade, locking it up, and he would wait in his car in the parking lot, looking around, making sure she was safe before she got into her car and sped off. That was also something he’d noticed about her-the girl drove as if she was training for a NASCAR race. 

He’d noticed a lot about her, and anytime she caught him staring to any capacity she’d repeat the same four words “fuck off pretty boy”. Sometimes she’d add more, always something along the lines of “Can I do something for you Harrington?” or “Don’t you have VHS tapes to rewind?” whatever it was-it was always sarcastic-and that had Steve in too deep.

So deep that in fact once he found himself asking Max what kind of flowers he thought Y/n would like while the fifteen year old was in the Family Video, finding a rental for their weekly movie night-to which Max replied with “I don’t know-why don’t you ask her you weirdo”. 

That was the last time he asked Max anything about Y/n. 

Some days he was positive there was something else in the way that Y/n looked at him, a glint in her eye-something floating through her piercing gaze-then suddenly it’d be gone when she’d flash him her middle finger before walking into her job, Arcade vest in hand. 

“Steve, you cannot be serious right now! You want to ask Y/n out? Y/n Y/l/n? She wants nothing to do with you! No offense dude but I don’t think you’re her type” he scoffed at Robin's words, taking his eyes off the road for a second to glance at his best friend, mouth agape and brows furrowed in shock.

“You really think that lowly of me?” Robin laughed, nodding her head “She’s like this totally cool, hot, punk rock chick and you’re a guy who probably owns more hairspray than does! You two are like polar opposites, you were prom king and she smashed car windows with a baseball bat!” he scoffed again, shaking his head a few times while he focused on the road ahead, turning the steering wheel as he pulled into the parking lot in front of their job.

“Oh come on! You really don’t think I have a chance?” Robin tilted her head, brows knit in concentration while she pursed her lips inward before nodding her head a few times “I’d say you have a .0001% chance with her” just as Steve was about to respond, he noticed Y/n’s car speed into the parking lot which was definitely more packed than usual. 

Then she pulled into the spot next to his, her window tint not dark enough to disguise the way that she grabbed her Arcade uniform vest-screaming into it-then closing her eyes, taking a few deep breaths. Steve’s lips were parted as he watched her-mesmerized by the simplest of actions-granted he’d never really seen much out of her past her being mean, cussing him out, and the few soft moments she had when she was with Max, the two laughing in an aisle of the video rental store.

He was dazed-so much that when she turned her head to open her door she caught his stare, immediately giving him a dirty look as she rolled her eyes, then her gaze flickered to Robin who was now looking at her as well, so she flashed the girl a closed mouth smile, then she gathered her things and got out of her car, shutting the door and locking it before making her way towards the front door of her dreaded job.

Before Robin could make any comments Steve practically jumped out of the car, calling Y/n’s name as he sped walk towards her-by the time he shouted her name a second time and she stopped in her tracks to turn and face him he was only a few feet away from him. 

He’d taken a few moments to trail his eyes along her moving figure while she walked, today she had on a pair of black thin stockings-the tops of them slightly showing, accompanied by a black leather miniskirt-something he questioned due to the forty degree weather outside, but he guessed her black knit sweater and oversized leather blazer were evening out her body temperature.

When she turned to face him he practically lost his train of thought-eyes focused on hers while she stared at him, the thick black eyeliner and shadow around her eyes only accentuated them-an expectant look on her face while she slightly shook her head, a brow raised. 

“Pretty boy I don’t have all day. Speak-I’m waiting” the slight dominance in her tone was bringing heat through Steve’s body-his cheeks flushing slightly as he nodded his head a few times with his lips parted as if he was about to speak but he couldn’t get the words out.

After a few more seconds of looking like a lost puppy he finally blinked, nodding his head “Yeah uh-hey-so I was wondering if you were free-uh maybe tonight? After your shift” she blinked a few times, furrowing her brows before smirking at him. “Are you asking me on a date, pretty boy?” 

There it was again, the underlying dominance-something he wasn’t used to-something that had his mind melting. She was confident as she spoke, the smirk on her face made him want to get on his knees and worship her, not to mention the way that she shifted her weight to one foot, one hand holding her black leather bag and uniform vest, the other near her face-one finger resting against her bottom lip as she lightly brought the black acrylic nail between her teeth as she smiled.

But the glint in her eye was evident. 

“Uh-uh yeah-yeah I am” she nodded her head “and where do you plan on taking me hmm?” her tone was almost degrading, it made his already melting mind feel fuzzy while she spoke to him. “Any-Anywhere you wanna uh-go” she moved her nail from between her teeth, now puckering her lips slightly, finger tapping against them while she mimicked a thinking expression.

“Seeing as I close the rest of this week-and based on the fact that you and her are just getting here-you do too-nothing’s open after we leave work Pretty boy. So where’s that leave us?” Steve so desperately wanted to say ‘your place or mine’ but he knew that she’d just scoff and walk away, that was the only thought he had, he had no other real answer so when he turned into a stuttering blubbering mess she smiled before shushing him.

“I can think of a place-or two you could take me-but what do you wanna do huh?” At this point she stepped closer to him, the same confidence in her voice and she sounded so sultry-Steve couldn’t tell if it was because he was a blushing dizzy mess, or if this was actually happening.

Before he could respond she simply patted him on the chest twice-then she gripped his denim jacket-tugging him a little closer “Cat got your tongue Pretty Boy?” with that she let go, turning around and walking off-the cocky smile now on her face.

Robin got out of the car, wide eyed, jaw dropped, mouth gaping like a fish out of water while she stared at Steve who was still staring in Y/n’s direction, his hand now on his chest where hers was while he processed everything that just happened.

“Are you serious?! She’s so into you? How is she into you?! Steve C’mon” with that Robin quickly grabbed the keys from the car, locking her door then running to the drivers side and locking it before running towards Steve-grabbing his sleeve and pulling him with her into the Family Video where their co-worker Ryan was already clocking out-the older man not saying a single word to the two as they got behind the counter.

Steve was still stunned at everything while Robin smacked his arm excitedly.

“I don’t know how you did it Steve-but she’s so into you! I mean did you see the way she was looking at you! She was laying it on thick” Robin rambled while she took their time sheets, clocking the two of them in “I thought she’d be like mean and shy but not she wasn’t shy at all-she’s like-she’s like a man eater-Definitely an apex predator if I’ve ever seen one. Steve she was looking at you like she wanted to eat you” he blinked a few times, processing Robin's words.

However his mind was still fuzzy, and his filter was long gone by the time the words left his lips “I wanna eat her out” Robin gagged slightly, a look of horror on her face now “TMI Harrington! TMI!” 

In the building next door Y/n sat in the worn red stool behind the counter, chewing gum while she thought about Steve. Sure she knew Steve in high school-he was a douchebag, he was mister popular, the star of the show, prom king himself. She hated his friends, especially Tommy-God she was so glad that she’d smashed his windshield in. But she always knew Steve was different-he wasn’t as much of a prick, he wanted to be popular, wanted to fit in, so he stuck to those that were popular.

Then something changed their senior year-after he’d broken up with Nancy Wheeler-he wasn’t the same, hell he changed for the better. That wasn’t enough for Y/n to want to associate with him though, she liked her friends, she liked Eddie, Gareth, Jeff, and the rest of the Hellfire club-hell she designed their shirts. 

But now things had changed, they were out of school, still living in their hometown, working next door to one another, and she had to admit, his continuous pinning was cute. The way he’d stare at her, the way he would stay late to make sure she got in her car safe, and the way that he’d always have a deep red blush on his cheeks anytime she called him Pretty Boy-that blush made her mind wander, she wanted to see him blushing, see his chest rapidly rising and falling, see him flustered, a stuttering flushed mess-that’s how she wanted to see him.

That’s what she wanted to do to him. However she was never a fan of making the first move-mainly because people never really caught her eye. She wasn’t a virgin-that was a fact-but she wasn’t someone who enjoyed casual hookups often, she liked relationships, some days she missed having a partner-but other days she simply rolled her eyes and went about her day because relationships meant commitment and they also meant heartbreak. 

Steve Harrington made her question that, he was a change of pace, she’d only had a few actual conversations with him, most of the time telling him to fuck off for staring too hard-but secretly under her hard exterior she loved the way he stared at her, and the way he payed attention to her. The way his eyes would rake across her figure, not in a ‘I wanna fuck you’ kind of way but more in a ‘you’re so beautiful’ kind of way. She knew how to differentiate the two because of Steve-he was the only one who showed her the ladder.

She’d been waiting months for him to make a move, she was patient, and honestly she didn’t care-she wasn’t interested in anyone else nor did she feel the need to rush anything. She was content with her sex life and romantic life, of course being content didn’t mean she’d decline Steve Harrington’s head between her thighs.

Y/n spent her entire shift rolling her eyes at teenagers and kids, reluctantly helping them and acting as if she was doing something on the large computer at the front desk-rather she was just playing pong. She hadn’t spoken to many of her co-workers today, most of them walking around the arcade and working in the storage room, so her day was pretty simple and very boring. Her mind constantly floating back to the possibility of Steve actually making a move tonight.

Then it was time for her to close, everyone was already leaving while she finished sweeping, then she wiped the counters down and washed her hands, thankful one of her co-workers cleaned the bathrooms already. Finally she grabbed her things, and left through the front doors, locking them up-glancing to her left to see Steve standing there, leaning against the Family Video windows with his hands in his pockets-to most he would look relaxed and maybe even cool-but Y/n immediately noticed the way his chest was falling a little too fast.

He was nervous, and that lit a fire inside of her.

“So did you figure it out, Pretty Boy?” Steve practically jumped at the sound of her voice, he was too busy hyping himself up to notice Y/n locking up a few feet from her-and now he was embarrassed as she spoke to him. He expected her to stop a few feet away, but no, she walked until she was inches away from him, now slightly looking up at him, a smirk on her face while they held eye contact, one of her fingers gliding along the length of his denim jacket.

“I’m waiting for an answer” her degrading tone was back and it only made Steve blush even more, he bit his lip, eyes dropping from hers to her red lips, all the while his lips were slightly parted. 

Steve Harrington had never in his life been this flustered. He usually did this to other people-he wasn’t used to the change of pace and yet he was melting under her touch. She moved her fingers, now gliding along the white sweater he wore below the jacket-he felt her apply a little more pressure-just enough to make her touch known. She was teasing him, luring him into her trap-and he was falling head first.

“Yours or mine?” was all he managed, he tried saying it with confidence but her gaze shot right through his facade, eyes still focused on her lips, now they were upturned in a wicked smile. She leaned closer to him, lips right next to his ear as she whispered “make sure you can keep up, Pretty Boy” with that she placed a gentle kiss right below his ear-and due to her close proximity she didn’t miss the small whimper that slipped past his lips.

She quickly moved, shooting him a wink while walking to her car, easily unlocking it and getting in-the sound of the car roaring to life was what reminded him that he had to follow her-so he ran to his car, nearly tripping on the way-then he got in and the second he was inside, she was pulling off. 

To say that it felt like a game of cat and mouse was crazy-especially because Steve felt like a mouse chasing the cat. Hell he had no idea where she was taking him and for all he knew she might just be ritually sacrificing him under the moonlight. 

But his doubts were gone by the time he pulled into a driveway behind her, the house was in the same neighborhood as Dustin’s place, she only lived four houses down-it surprised him that he never noticed. He was always here dropping him off and picking him up, and Y/n’s Monte Carlo was hard to miss, maybe he’d just been too wrapped up in his ‘adopted’ little brother to see it.

He shook his head while hyping himself up again, now was not a time to think of Dustin, he was about to hook up with Y/n Y/l/n-the girl of his dreams-literally he’d had more than one dream about her. However none of them had her as dominant as she seemed, they usually involved him holding her hands above her head, while he was above her. Occasionally she’d be riding him, other times he just dreamt of the sweet sweet sounds she would make while he laid between her thighs, her hands tugging at his hair.

The second she knocked on his car door window he blinked a few times, turning the car off before opening the door-she was thankful she stepped out of the way, this wasn’t the Steve Harrington she’d heard so much about-he was smooth and in charge-this Steve was awkward, nervous, and somehow kept tripping over his own feet.

He cleared his throat while she looked at him, a small smile on her face, and a devious look in her eye.

“Don’t worry Harrington, I’ll take good care of you” with that she grabbed his hand, and his heartbeat immediately quickened-hell it felt like it would beat out of his chest as he followed behind her. He watched as she unlocked the door with one hand, kicking it open as she twisted the knob, then they were inside.

For some reason he never thought of Y/n’s house-or of the fact that she probably lived with her family, he always just thought of her so when he followed behind her in the house he was somewhat taken aback. The warm hues of color throughout the furniture, the plants delicately placed and taken care of, alongside the framed photos-including Y/n’s graduation photos side by side with her kindergarten graduation photos. 

He didn’t have much time to admire the house, instead she was guiding him upstairs, and he couldn’t help but focus his eyes on her ass, her skirt slightly sliding up as she walked-the material hugging her curves perfectly. It was driving him crazy.

Then she stopped in front of what he assumed to be her bedroom door, dropping his hand-now turning to face him. He was already flustered-she thought it was so cute-the way he stared at her while he blushed, unable to hold eye contact for more than a few seconds at a time.

“Tell me Pretty Boy, are you gonna let me take care of you tonight?” His mind was now a jumbled mess of Y/n, he didn’t have one coherent thought outside of her, so instead of responding and babbling, he simply nodded his head-lips apart while he stared at her. “Do me a favor-” as she spoke she trailed a finger along his jawline “-use your words”

“Y-yes” she raised a single brow “yes to what?” “I’ll let y-you t-take care of m-me” his stuttering made her smirk, with that she opened her door, easily pulling him inside-her strength somewhat surprised him but his gaze caught hold of her room, something he definitely didn’t expect. Much like the rest of the house it was decorated in warm tones, not a single black item anywhere-outside of the leather jacket placed on her desk chair, she had plants hanging near the large bay window, brightly colored pillows along it, the girl had stacks of books, she had dice sets on her desk, a singular small lamp on letting a dim red orange hue spread throughout the space, and a few paintings leaning against the wall next to her large mirror.

“Surprised? It’s called duality” she spoke as she watched his eyes scan the room, her voice snapping him back to her gaze, she looked at him expectantly, before cracking a smile. 

“How long have you wanted me, Harrington?” he bit his bottom lip for a second “too long to tell” she nodded her head “aw, we’re gonna have fun huh? I wanna see you red and begging” his eyes widened at her words, her sweet tone a direct contrast in comparison to her words.

His lips parted now while he nodded his head, brows slightly raised, unable to say anything-watching as she took her blazer off, tossing it towards her closet-then her hands were back on his chest-both of them gliding along his jacket while she held eye contact with him. She slowly slid her hands under the denim, pushing it back until he finally took it off, throwing it elsewhere-too focused on her to care where his clothes ended up. 

“Are you gonna be good for me?” he nodded his head “y-yes, an-anything” she smirked at that “All it takes is one little touch to get you dumb huh?” she spoke as she tugged at the hem of his sweater before sliding one hand under it, her cold fingertips against his warm abdomen, fingers tracing the toned muscles. 

Steve's mind was a haze and she’d barely touched him, he would never live this down-even if it was just coming from himself. 

“Take it off” she didn’t have to ask twice, it only took a few seconds for Steve to pull the Sweater over his head, revealing his toned chest, she smirked at the patches of hair along his chest, and the evident happy trail he sported “uh-I-sorry for the hair if it’s not your thing-” before he could continue rambling on Y/n shushed him. 

“You’re so pretty Steve” she spoke as she glided a finger along his happy trail, resting it against the waistband of his hands, tugging on it slightly before hooking her finger onto it-all while she held eye contact with him.

He felt as if he was about to combust, his skin on fire while she looked at him as if she wanted to devour him. Her gaze had him holding back a whimper-and when she pushed him back against her bed he didn’t expect it-knees buckling over the edge of her frame as he fell flat onto the mattress. In the moment he was embarrassed-but then he watched as she easily pulled off her top, tossing it on the ground, a black lace bra holding her chest ever so perfectly.

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost” her words were teasing as she straddled his lap, the evident bulge straining against his pants while she looked down at him, both hands now on his waist, thumbs slightly grazing his skin-back and forth.

His body was on fire-it had to have been on fire-she had to have tossed a match on the bed before pushing him into it. His mind was melting away as he tried to figure out how her subtle touches were sending him higher and higher up the ladder of sexual frustration. He was so turned on it hurt, and seeing her, looking down at him with the faux innocent look in her eyes as she sat on his lap-sat against him-it was enough to have him start begging.

“Tell me what you want Pretty Boy, tell me what you think about when you can’t take your eyes off me” his lips parted as she leaned lower, supporting herself on top of him, her face now less than a foot away from his. “I wanna hear it, I wanna know what you’re thinking about, what you wanna do to me” he swallowed hard, breath picking up slightly

“Y-you, fuck all of you, wanna kiss you and hold you, sh-shit” his words left his lips without a single thought, all rushed out and jumbled. She bit her bottom lip, a smile on her face now as she moved her hands off his waist, now placing one next to his head on the bed-she was in charge and he knew that. 

“Yeah? You wanna make me feel good? Wanna feel me cumming around you?” he nodded his head, lost in her-it was like she was sending his senses into overdrive. “You think you deserve that? You think you deserve to touch me?” her degrading tone made him whimper while he nodded, she was quick to lean over, talking directly into his ear “I want you to beg for it, tell me how much you want me” with that she started peppering kisses along his neck, red lipstick stains on his skin before she started licking and sucking at his warm skin-sure to leave marks behind.

He couldn’t hold in the moan that slipped past his lips the second he felt her lightly bite against his skin-his hands now finding her waist-but when she stopped kissing him-he immediately moved his hands-somehow knowing what she was expecting. “C’mon Pretty Boy-let me take care of you” he let out another low moan at her words, her kisses now against his collar bone as she worked on leaving another mark against his tanned skin.

“Fuck-want you so bad, need you, God I need you so bad, I’ll do anything-please” she smirked, now moving back, her lipstick smudged while she looked at him, then she pressed her lips against his, it didn’t take long for him to kiss her back-one of her hands now on the side of his face as she deepend the kiss, sliding her tongue against his soft lips-slipping past them as he let her in. 

She started moving her hips against his, he moaned into the kiss feeling her move-the friction giving him some sense of relief. The kiss only getting more heated the longer their lips stayed together, Steve poured everything he had into the kiss-all of his want-his desire-his everything, and she gladly took it.

When she moved apart she let out a whimper against his parted lips “do you wanna touch me? Wanna make me feel good?” he nodded his head “fuck please-please let me touch you” she smirked, nodding her head, his hands immediately on her exposed waist, then she winked before getting off of him-easily pulling at his arms-directing him to hold himself above her-and the second he did she was kissing him again, her hands now tugging at his belt loops-pulling his hips closers to hers while she parted her legs. 

He was in heaven-this was it-he was in actual heaven. 

She tugged on his hair-the feeling making him groan-then she did it again, a little harder this time-getting him to move back-but his blood was flowing south. He panted while he sat above her-in this moment he knew she was in charge-regardless of the position-regardless of how he was fucking her-she was in charge.

Her hand was still in his hair as she spoke “Use your mouth Pretty Boy” that’s all she had to say, his lips now against her neck, kissing down her body, he cupped one of her tits, groaning at the sound of the high pitched moan she let out, then he slid the bra down-he didn’t bother taking it off of her-rather letting the straps fall as the cups now leaned against her stomach, tits out, nipples hardening at the cold air against them. It wasn’t long until his hands were back on them, one hand cupped her left breast, fingers tugging at her hardened peak making her moan, then he peppered kisses along the right one, his tongue finding her other peak, lapping at it before lightly sucking against it before bringing it between his teeth-tugging at him-earning a louder moan from her.

Her hands were back in his hair as she tugged at the soft brown locks, moaning as he switched his position, making sure to pay attention to every single part of her. He had to make her feel good, that’s all he wanted to do, so he continued kissing down her stomach, eyes meeting hers as he reached the top of her miniskirt. She smirked “hike it up, I want your mouth, want you to be good for me, you wanna taste me?” he bit his bottom lip, nodding his head as he moved his hands to her thighs-easily hiking the skirt up, moaning at the sight of her black thin lacey panties-they left little to imagination.

He was quick to spread her thighs more, laying between them as he licked and sucked marks into the skin of her left thigh before placing it over his shoulder. The sight of him between her legs had y/n biting her lip again, one hand in his hair, tugging at it, the other holding onto her tit, squeezing it, toying with her nipple while she watched him.

“Please-can I taste you-fuck need to taste you on my tongue” she smirked “such a desperate little slut huh? Been waiting months for this-just imagining what I taste like-tell me Pretty Boy-do you think of me at night? When it’s just you?” he nodded his head, looking up at her, lips parted, heavy breaths.

“Yes-fuck-yes, always you, everything about you-please” “then show me” he didn’t hesitate to lick a stripe up her clothed slit, the motion making her whimper, then he slid two fingers along her damp panties, easily pulling them to the side, exposing her to him-and he couldn’t stop the gutteral moan he let out at the sight of her glistening cunt. 

“So pretty like that, between my thighs, begging to tongue fuck me” he groaned, nodding his head before licking another stripe up her cunt, then he lapped at it, moaning at the way she tasted against his tongue before focusing on her bud, he rapidly flicked his tongue against her clit, groaning against her at the feeling of her tugging his hair. Her back arched off the bed while she moaned-loving the feeling of his mouth against her.

She bit her lip, grinding her hips closer to his face, moaning. “Just like that-so so good” her praises made him moan, he slid two fingers between her thighs-his other hand gripping her left thigh, holding it close-practically pinning her in place while he harshly sucked at her clit-her moans only motivating him to keep going. Then she felt him slide two fingers right into her entrance, her moans louder now while he curled them into her-over and over again. 

He needed to make her cum, needed to taste her, needed to make her feel good. 

“You feel so good, oh my god, right there Pretty Boy-fuck make me cum like a good fucking slut” Steve moaned again, her degrading words mixed with praises only sending heat throughout his body as he grinded his hips against her bed-needing some relief while he chased her high-then he felt it-felt the way she tightened around his fingers and tugged at his hair.

She was cumming, her toes curling and back arching even harder while praises slipped past her lips, soaking his lips and chin in her nectar. He moaned while she came, lapping up as much as he possibly could-wanting to keep going-but he knew not to-knew to listen to her.

He slid his fingers out of her, bringing them to his lips, moaning as he sucked every last drop off off of them. She watched him with a smirk on her face.

“C’mere” with that he got up, leaning over her-and she pulled him into another heated sloppy kiss-this time her hands working at his pants, unbuttoning them, followed by his zipper, then she slid her hand inside of his briefs making him moan against her lips. She started to palm him while they kissed, each time her hand lightly squeezed the base of his cock he’d lose rhythm in the kiss.

Y/n thought it was cute, the way he couldn’t even focus on kissing her back while she toyed with his constrained cock. When she pulled away from the kiss she kept palming him.

“Please-” she tilted her head slightly “please what?” “Please-fuck please need you-need you to stop teasing” she pouted for a second “but you look so pretty like this, you’re so red, and your eyes are barely open-I’ve barely touched you and you’re already fucked dumb” he moaned at her words, nodding his head.

She shoved him, rolling so she was now on top of him, and she straddled a little lower than his waist, easily sliding his hard, thick, cock out of it’s confinements, she bit her lip while gazing at it. His veins were so prominent, it curved slightly to the left, and the tip was swollen, red, and dripping pre cum. 

“The tip of your cock is the same color as your cheeks-nice and rosy-just for me” she spoke in a degrading tone as she placed a singular hand on the length of his cock, slightly tightening her grip as she slowly slid it up and down his length-she then paused-gliding her thumb across the tip, swiping it against the slit-spreading all of his precum around then she leaned over and spit on it-making his cock a wet sticky mess-all while he moaned and whined under her.

“Please-fuck please y/n-please” she raised a brow “tell me what you want-you want me to fuck you like the whore you are? You want your cock down the back of my throat-you wanna watch me gag on it? Make you cum over and over again until you cant even think straight?” he nodded his head rapidly at her words, vision hazy while he watched her above him-she was like an angel-but angels didn’t do things as sinful as this.

As she spoke her hand’s pace picked up, squeezing him tighter while she pumped his dick, holding eye contact with him-only going faster and faster-while he moaned and whimpered-his hands gripping her sheets. “Such a pretty fuck toy” he felt himself getting closer and closer-and based on the way he twitched in her hands-she knew it too.

“You gonna give me the first one? I want you to cum for me my sweet, sweet boy, cum all over my hand” he nodded his head, chest rising and falling, feeling himself closer and closer to the edge-then she leaned over him, now pumping his cock at a different angle while licking and sucking at the other side of his neck-making sure to leave more marks.

He moaned, his head thrown back slightly as he gripped the sheets “you wanna touch me? Wanna let me know how much you like me fucking you?” he moaned at her words, she was near his ear, low words sending vibrations down his spine-leading him to letting out a loud moan “you can touch me baby, hold me while you cum for me” he nodded his head, his hands on her hips now-fingers digging into her skin as his vision greyed over-feeling his orgasm flow through his entire body.

She smirked, feeling his cum land on her stomach and his, then she sat up, still smirking while he struggled to catch his breath-but she was nowhere near done. She leaned over, tongue tracing the ropes of cum on his stomach, all the while she looked up at him.

Then she moved on to her hand, licking his cum off of her fingers “you made such a mess-can’t let it go to waste, you did so good for me-but now you’re gonna do even better” he simply nodded, biting his lip while he stared at her through hooded eyes-never in his life had he experienced the amount of pleasure that was surging through his body.

She moved further down, kneeling on the bed while she looked at him “lean against the headboard” he nodded, doing as told, chest rising and falling rapidly while he watched her lie between his legs, he winced and whimpered as she grabbed his sensitive cock, not wasting a second before placing the tip into her mouth, lapping at it-sucking on it-and sending him into a pool of overstimulation-hands gripping the sheets while he felt dizzy. He’d never came more than once during a hookup-everything about this was new to him-and he was going insane. 

She pulled back “you gonna give me another one? Cum down my throat? Be a good boy for me?” he nodded “use your words” “gonna be good-gonna be so fucking good” he was whining, whimpering as her mouth was back on him-his cock slowly growing harder in her mouth as she sucked on him, toying with his length, using one hand to pump him while she bobbed her head along him-all while holding eye contact with him.

She moved away to spit on his cock again-except she used the tip to smear her spit along her lips, Steve placing his hands over his face after seeing that-letting out loud uncontrollable moans. She wanted him desperate-and that was exactly what she was getting. 

It didn’t take long for him to have to cum, his eyes watering from the pleasure while he gripped the sheets, constantly shifting in place-trying to stay as still as possible before she stopped all together.

“Please fuck-please can I cum-please-fuck can’t-cacn’t hold it” she smirked, taking him out of her mouth, still pumping the length of his cock while looking up at him-the string of saliva connecting his tip to her lip was driving him insane. 

“You look so good when you cum-so flustered-so fucking pretty” he moaned “gonna cum all over my tongue for me? Be a spoiled little slut for me?” he nodded his head, watching as she stuck her tongue out, tapping his cock against it a few times-the sight sent him into overdrive as he shot ropes of cum along her tongue-one landing on her cheek slightly. She swallowed it all gliding her index finger along her cheek before smirking. 

She sat up, smearing her finger across his bottom lip-before sliding it into her mouth-watching as he sucked on it “look so good like this-so fucked out-haven’t even been inside me yet” she leaned closer to him, taking her finger out of his mouth, sliding it along his lips and chin.

“Haven’t even felt how wet, warm, and tight I am-just for you to fill-to stretch-want my pretty boy to cum inside, wanna see how you look while I fuck you hard” he moaned at her words, nodding his head, whimper, lost in his world of her and overstimulation.

She grasped his cock again, pumping it over and over, slowly with a tight grip as she peppered kisses along his jaw-she moved to straddle him again-making it easier to kiss his skin. He looked like a fucked out slutty mess, hair in every direction, lips slightly parted and swollen, eyes hooded, skin flushed and covered in lipstick kisses and bruises and she loved every second of it.

“You gonna give me another one?” he nodded his head, unable to speak-words all jumbled in his head “good-cause I wanna feel you” he moaned at her words which made her mock him “such a cum drunk slut huh? Never been fucked like this huh? Never had someone use you pretty boy?” he shook his head-moaning as her grip tightened. 

She smirked at his hard cock in her hand-he was so easy and she knew it was only for her. 

She moved against him, sliding the tip of his cock along her dripping slit, he bit his lip so hard he thought it would start bleeding “u-use me” she smirked at his words “I already have been” it hadn’t occurred to him exactly how much pleasure she got from this-from watching him squirm and moan under her-watching the way she affected him. 

“Look at me while I fuck you, wanna see those big brown eyes” he nodded his head, now gazing at her-eyes hooded while he tried not to shut them-tried to stay focused on her as she lined him up with her sopping entrance-sliding right down his cock-inch by inch.

She didn’t bother holding back a single moan, her head thrown back slightly while she felt him stretch her out and fill her until he finally bottomed out-their thighs touching again while she moaned.

“So big-feels so good-fuck I’m so full-can’t get enough of this cock-can’t get enough of you” he nodded his head, his loud moans never stopping as she started grinding herself against him before bouncing on his cock, up and down-then deciding to slide up his cock until only the tip was inside of her before slamming down onto him-the pleasure making his eyes start watering again.

She set her rhythm-fucking him as hard as she could-finally looking at him, her hands on his shoulders-using them for support as she continued bouncing on his thick cock, moaning his name alongside praises about how good he felt in her.

“Oh God Y/n-fuck-I can’t hold it-fuck so close” she bit her lip, her gaze had been held between their bodies, watching as he disappeared inside of her cunt, cock coated in her slick while she fucked him. Then she looked up, practically moaning at the sight of the tears running down his face while he threw his head back, biting down on his bottom lip while he tried not to cum.

“Look at you-” she moved on hand-grabbing his chin-forcing him to look at her “a crying stupid mess-hold it for me-or I’ll tie you up and make you cum all fucking night” her words had a slightly slur to them as she bounced on his cock, listening to him fall deeper and deeper into his world of pleasure. 

He didn’t expect for her to lean forward, tongue against his jawline-licking the tears that rested there before sucking a mark into his skin-the feelings making his vision blur and all he heard was static-he was so lost in her that he felt like he couldn’t find his way out.

Then she let out a loud whimper-leaning her head against his shoulder while gripping his skin. 

“Gonna cum-want you to cum for me-pretty boy I wanna feel you cum inside me” he moaned at her words, nodding his head-hands now gripping her waist-guiding her movements while he fell apart-the feeling of him filling her made her moan his name, eyes rolled back slightly as she quickly followed suit.

After the both of them caught their breath she slid off of him, walking-rather slowly at that-to the bathroom. When she came back Steve was trying to get dressed, eyes still hooded while he tried to balance himself-the sight made Y/n laugh, a smirk on her face.

“Really fucked you stupid huh?” he gazed at her, now blinking as he noticed the oversized t-shirt covering her figure, he watched as she trailed her eyes along him-smirking at his disheveled state. 

‘Do yourself a favor Pretty Boy and stay the night-you’re too fucked out to be driving anywhere-you look like you can barely see” he sat down on her bed-running a hand through his messy hair while shaking his head “because I can barely see” his voice was strained-so she tossed the waterbottle on her desk his way-it landed on the bed next to him and he gladly opened it and drank most of it. 

“Do you do that to all of the guys you’re into” she laughed at his joke, glancing over-watching as he took off his jeans completely before laying back onto her bed-staring at the ceiling. His thoughts were all on her-on the way she had him in tears less than fifteen minutes ago to the way she was now taking her smeared makeup off.

“Only the ones that end up being my boyfriend” his eyes widened at that, immediately sitting up while staring at her. She simply shrugged her shoulders, eyes now focused on the small mirror sat on her desk as she continued wiping away her makeup.

“Y-y-your boy-boyfriend?” she rolled her eyes, tossing the cotton pads into the trash can under the desk before glancing at him again, her hands now on her hips while she gave him an ‘are you serious’ expression, head slightly craned forward-brows knit together while she stared.

“I mean that’s c-cool, I didn’t know you were like-into that? I guess? I just thought-” she nodded slowly at his rambling, he ran his hands through his hair a few times while he tried to figure out what to say next-and truthfully his brain was still a pile of mush-recovering from the three orgasms and mind blowing sex.

“Into what? Having a boyfriend-or you being my boyfriend? Is the thought of me wanting to be in a relationship really what's shocking you the most Harrington-as if you haven’t stalked me for the past four months” his jaw dropped at her words-she wanted him to be her boyfriend-his mind now solely focused on that. He’d been into her for what felt like forever-and even after everyone told her that she’d never want him-she was here-telling him that she wanted him to be her boyfriend.

“No-no! No not at all! It’s just I didn’t really-uh think I was your type is all” she scoffed “I took you to my house and fucked you until you literally cried. I think it’s established that you’re my type”

He nodded slowly “but you’re all-like punk rock and like into metal and you wear leather and black, and you hated me in high school and you’re friends with Munson, and you’re-well you-uh-” she nodded her head slowly, brows raised, holding in a bubble of air in her cheeks while his words started to melt together as he tried to save his ass.

“Steve do you or do you not want to go on a date with me-If you don’t want to eventually probably end up being my boyfriend that’s cool-just say no. You’re being weird and I’m about to make you sleep in your car outside” 

His eyes widened at that, the red flush back on his face, and now as she sat in her bed, only in his boxers, she noticed the way the blush traveled through his neck and onto his chest as well. He was covered in marks, the lipstick stains and hickies making Y/n smirk-proud of her work.

“No-wait no that’s not what I mean! Y-yes-yeah-of course-yeah” she nodded, walking towards him until she stood between his legs, she then pulled him into a soft kiss, one hand toying with the hairs at the base of his neck, the other gently caressing his jawline. He was quick to kiss her back, his hands on her waist while their lips moved in sync.

Then she pulled away, resting her forehead against his “stop being such a weirdo Steve-I like you-clearly-now shut it” 

-

The next day the two of them woke up late, both of their shifts scheduled to start at two in the afternoon and the clock read one fifteen, Y/n was quick to shake Steve awake, telling him they had to go to work-and once he noticed the clock he practically shot out of her bed, rushing to put last night’s clothes on while Y/n pulled a new outfit out of her wardrobe-changing without a second thought.

The sight of her pulling on her clothes-stepping into her panties-had Steve’s jaw dropped while he stared-only to be met with “fix your hair-you look like you just got laid” when she turned around, facing him in just her bra and panties. She then pulled on a pair of black jeans, accompanied by her hellfire club t-shirt, and the faux fur lined leather jacket she kept for colder days. 

She pulled Steve behind her to the bathroom across the hall, grabbing him a toothbrush and shoving it in his direction-the two of them still rushing-to the point that Steve hadn’t realized he still had lipstick stained kiss marks along his neck-plus the few hickies that were visible above his neckline.

What shocked Steve the most was Y/n tossing his keys at him, telling him that he was driving today.

So when he pulled into the strip parking lot just as Y/n finished applying her black lip liner and red lipstick combination-Robin opened the front door of the Family Video-fully prepared to curse him out, however when she noticed Y/n sitting in the passenger seat of his car her jaw dropped. She then noticed the way that Y/n grabbed Steve by the collar of his jacket, pulling him into a kiss before shoving him away and getting out of the car.

“See ya later Pretty Boy.”

Y/n simply waved at Robin, she then made her way towards the entrance to the Arcade, a smirk on her face the entire time.

Steve however got out of the car with a dopey smile on his face, glancing in the direction of his future girlfriend while locking the doors. 

When he finally headed in Robin’s direction the look of pure shock was hard to miss-so much in fact that all Steve did was shrug-the smile still on his face. Then as the two got inside and stood behind the counter-Robin practically screamed.

“Holy shit! Your neck! Wait are you wearing yesterday’s clothes-oh my god you are-oh my god you two had sex-oh my god you drove her here? You stayed the night? Holy shit-these are like purple-she’s like a damn vampire!” Robin spoke while she poked and prodded at Steve’s neck-his eyes widening as he looked around for any reflective surface-when he came up short he walked to the back room-then into the employee restroom-eyes widening at the lipstick kiss stains on his neck accompanied by hickies.

Usually he’d be mad that a girl left marks on him-however in Y/n’s case it only made him smile, the familiar blush on his face-he was head over heels and now he finally had a date with her.

The Parents of the Friend group. |Part 1

Steve Harrington × reader

~the party already knows about yours and Steve's relationship and even before you and Steve got together, they made it pretty clear that Steve is the mom and you're the dad. Plain and simple

Warning: playfully bullying Steve, mentions of season 2, mentions of the upside down, reader pronouns she/her, y/n used a couple times

--------------------------------∆----------------------------

With everything that the party member went through at a young age, you and Steve always cared and protected them with any chance y'all get. With that being said, Steve made it a monthly thing to have the kids (including Robin and Eddie) sleepover for at least a night just so they can enjoy themselves young and to also ease Steve's paranoia of not knowing when another type of monster will appear out of the blue. You didn't have a problem with the idea of course mostly since you loved the kids as if they were your own kids but it gets tiring after a while, mostly when it's in your own home.

Tossing and turning in bed while hearing loud chatters in the distance. Moving around to grab a hold of Steve and hopefully cuddle back to sleep but you feel the other side of the bed empty.

Is it the 24th already?

Groggily getting out of bed still half asleep and walking to the bathroom to freshen up and get ready for one hell of a day. After wearing something more appropriate and becoming wide awake, you mentally prepare yourself to walk out into the chaos. When you open the door, everything suddenly becomes clearer and louder. You see Erica and Dustin arguing about what channel to put on. Max and Robin are practically attacking Lucas for his poor taste in comics. Eddie, Mike, and Will try explaining d&d to El (who clearly is not interested). Then you see the main person that you wanted to spend your morning with, but they were clearly occupied and busy. Already heading to the kitchen to your lover to say good morning while giving a peck on the lips.

"Every month...every month, I don't even know why I'm surprised anymore" you say while looking at the hoard of people in the living room talking over each other. "I swear they're little geniuses but when it comes to being on time, they're rather late or too early and today is one of those days." Steve says while mixing a bowl of pancakes batter. "Remember you wanted this, so you can't fully blame them." You say while warming up a cup of coffee, "oh no no no, you can't partially blame me for this, don't act as if you didnt want them around either" Steve says while looking from the pancake batter then to you with a small smile. Okay maybe you also found comfort in having the kids around including Robin and Eddie, it feels more home warming but it's the mess they leave after. "Well...I'm not sure what I can say to that other than calling dibs to drop off the kids" you say frantically before leaving the kitchen and into the living room while hearing Steve trying to call you back in the kitchen.

Once you step in the living room, you weren't sure if you wanted to go back and continue the conversation that you just had with Steve or try to at least have the kids calm down and lower their voices. "Jesus I don't know how you deal with this nerd, all he does is shove facts down your throat!" Erica practically yells at you before walking away from Dustin who is hot on her tail. "Oh IM THE NERD, you practically have the whole pony lore merged in your girly little brain" Dustin yells back at Erica while also passing by you and saying a quiet good morning (which you say good morning back).

"okay well let's leave that to Steve.." you say under your breath before walking to the little closet room in yours and Steve's house to pull out blankets and more pillows already preparing for tonight and maybe for a game that will last till night out. "Hey!" Will said pretty loudly in your ear which had you flinching a little, "Oh my God, what happened, I thought you were with Eddie and Mike? Did you forget your toothbrush again? Or was it your underwear again? You know Steve doesn't really mind besides he barley knows." You ramble and ask multiple questions to Will and whispering the last part knowing that it happened once and he trusted in only telling you. "WHAT no I'm fine, everything's fine, I just wanted to help out a little you know since it's the least we can do" Will says in a soft tone. "Oh no it's okay honey... Well you know what, maybe a little help wouldn't hurt right?" You say hesitantly, knowing how Steve gets when the kids actually help around. He tends to take control but not in a mean way more of a 'just rest my child and I'll take care of you' typa way. "Okay I need you to carry this... And this, and hold this one for me please....oh can't forget Max's..." You say while stacking pillows and blankets in Will's arms which slowly starts piling up to the point that his face is no longer able to be seen.

"is that it?..." Will asks while trying to peep his head out a little just to see if there are any more blankets, "umm....no you know what that's about it, good job buddy" you say before patting Will's shoulder indicating that he should follow you. Both you and Will walk to the living room to find everyone gone then you hear a faint voice counting. "Okay that's 2,4,6,8....8?" Steve says after counting heads to make sure everyone was sat at the table ready to eat although with so much noise and talking going around he can't seem to know if he counted wrong. But just as Steve suspected, he did count wrong as 2 more people walked into the dining room. "Ah there you guys are, okay so that's 10 in total" Steve says with a relief but his cheery tone went away as he saw Will's bottom half since the other half was covered with piles of blankets and pillows. "Babe we talked about this, if you need help call me, now look what you have done to the boy, I can't even see him" Steve says dramatically. You let out a sigh as you take the pillows and blankets from Will and told him to sit down and eat, "it's fine babe he offered and I took it, it's not gonna hurt him. And besides you seemed a little busy so I didn't want to disturb you." You say trying to calm a dramatic Steve down since you always are the one to just take things with a flow while Steve is the one to control the flow.

"I'm not gonna tell you again, if you ever need help just call me over and I'll be there, okay?" Steve says while looking down at you waiting for a response, "sure." You say just to please Steve, "good, now sit down and eat before it gets cold" Steve says with a more cheery tone as he presses a kiss on your lips.

-----------------------------∆-------------------------------

"UNOOO!!" Eddie exclaims very loudly which caused the kids to groan since they know that Eddie's cheating but they just can't prove it. Everyone was currently sitting on the floor around the little coffee table in the middle of the living room. Everyone decided to play uno after a long argument on how we should play it due to Dustin being competitive and wanting a specific way to play like whether or not we can jump in or pair up with someone. Everyone told him that we're just gonna play uno for the fun of it with no arguments and no competition, which never happened. Steve and you ended up teaming up and showing each other y'all's cards, Erica started becoming aggressive towards Lucas who kept +4 her. "Is there a problem between you and me cause last time I checked, we're blood related and BLOOD RELATED PEOPLE DONT BETRAY EACHOTHER!" Erica screams in Lucas's face while Lucas laughs at her overreacting. "Woah okay Erica calm down, here take my +4 and you'll get him next time when we reverse." Steve says to Erica while passing the card across the table to Erica who simply denied it and said that she didn't want his pity. "Let her fuss it out babe, she'll get over it" you say while laughing a little since you were Erica's babysitter at some point of time, so you knew how long Erica's little tantrums would last.

As the game ended with Robin somehow winning and multiple arguments breaking out. We all went out separate ways as it was almost time for dinner. You and Steve both walk into the kitchen just to finally enjoy y'all's personal time (even though y'all live together). With you deciding that you don't wanna cook, and Steve not knowing what to cook, you both agreed to order Chinese food. It was cheap and the most agreeable among the party members. Pizza was always complicated for the party, Lucas liked olives while Robin was allergic, and El liked pineapple on hers which Eddie completely despised to be in sight of pineapple pizza. Everyone had their own pizza preference that was just too much to order all together but Chinese food is what got everyone to enjoy (although you weren't a fan of Chinese food but you'll eat it for the kids).

Steve finished the order for Chinese food that we will soon have to pick up but in the mean time it was just you and Steve. Steve and you. Both embracing and enjoying each other's company even when yall aren't doing anything but it just felt so comfortable and loving. You sat on the counter with your feet dangling and Steve between your thighs while looking up at you and admiring you as if you were an angel. "You ever think about having kids" Steve asks with a foolish grin across his face, "woah, a very unexpected question at the moment" you say giggling but slowly stopped when you saw Steve still waiting for an answer, "I don't know, maybe,...actually yeah but as long as it's your kids" you say also with a foolish grin which made Steve blush "you know I actually want 6 kids, I don't remember telling you that" Steve says looking deep in your eyes, "oh trust me I remember you specifically telling me how many and what their names would be" you exclaim while rolling your eyes playfully since you have indeed heard multiple times and it's not like your complaining, infact you loved the idea of Steve also seeing his future with you and you guys are only 20 years old. "Let's get married" Steve says with a straight face and you let out a laugh but stop and clear your throat when Steve still looks at you with a straight face, "you're serious? Okay umm listen Steve I love you, I really do and I don't even want to imagine a life without you but we're 20 and we both work at a minimum wage job that barley pays for rent." You say rambling a little, "but trust me when I tell you this, I wanna get married with you so bad and specifically only you but just not right now or at least where we're at right now" you try to say with a little bit of a cheery voice so you don't totally break Steve's heart, "I promise" you say while holding out your pinky Infront of Steve's pouty face, "okay but is it okay if we have kids before we get married?" Steve asks before he even locks both of y'all's pinkies together "whatever makes you happy babe" you tell Steve with a toothy grin knowing that it would cheer Steve up, he then locks both of y'all's pinkies together and gives you a very passionate kiss that caused you to let out a little giggle in the middle of it.

"oh dude, I thought Robin said no public pda" Mike exclaims with a face of disgust before walking and purposely bumping into Steve's back to get a cold water bottle from the fridge. "Dude we're trying our best to keep it private", Steve says in a very judging tone, "you know Mike, me and Steve have seen you and El kiss but you don't see us making a big scene, have you tried growing up a little?" You say to Mike cause this isn't the first time that you and Mike have had this conversation about pda. "if it requires me growing up and becoming anything like y'all, I'd rather stay young and immature" Mike says before walking off but not before steve tells him to watch his tone. "I'm pretty sure he just called us old in so many different ways" you say to Steve, "he just doesn't get it cause he doesn't know what REAL love is, all he knows is young love....and I'm not old, trust I'm never gonna look old either" Steve says before fixing his hair with a pouty face which you laugh at cause you know how dramatic Steve gets when it comes to his age and specifically his looks.

"oh stop whining, we all know that you're gonna get grey hairs by soon mostly with all the stress the kids keep giving you" Robin suddenly comes in the kitchen startling you both just a little. "Okay first of all shut up and don't jinx it, and second who was talking to you?" Steve says in a very sassy tone since his hair is "his best feature" so God forbid anything happens to it. You let out a breathy laugh as Robin kept adding more gas into the fire. "Oh what's so funny huh, you do know you're gonna end up with grey hairs too so we'll both look 50 in our 30s" Steve says which causes you to stop laughing and before you can say anything Robin practically speaks for you, "uh no she won't, cause the kids are scared of her so they always act right around her but with you Steve, oh boy do they give you hell. In fact I'm pretty sure they only listen to y/n" Robin says with a small smirk on her lips. "Oh that's so not true!" Steve says raising his voice a little to state that he completely disagrees with Robin, "yea it is, remember at Byers house during fall, when you know the whole incident happened." You say trying to get Steve to recall what exactly happened that night, "yea what about it?" Steve says still not remembering how that night has anything to do with what they were walking about.

--------------------------------∆----------------------------

Fall night 1984:

You and Steve were trusted to take care of the kids. It wasn't anything new to you when it came to having full responsibility of the kids. It practically came as a free side job for you since you protected the kids without any questions asked or needed. For Steve on the other hand, his first time taking care of 5 kids at once and he felt like there was so much responsibility in his hands. He just felt the need to take full control due to the fear of not being able to know what the kids are doing 24/7 at the moment.

With Mike and Lucas arguing about Mike panicking and Dustin having Steve shove a demo-dog in ms.byers fridge it all felt hectic to you but nothing that you couldn't handle. The only calm one that was there was max due to it being her first rodeo and completely confused about the whole situation. Suddenly all the kids start making up a plan on how to help El and everyone else that's heading towards the lab that's filled with deadly creatures. While hearing this plan Steve completely shuts it down. "Yea and then we all die" Steve says making it clear that he totally disapproves of their idea, "well that's one point of view" you say in a sarcastic way, "no y/n that's not one point of view, that's a fact" Steve says with an attitude mostly since you're the other adult that's supposed to help him out but isn't even backing him up. You then raise your hands in surrender and give Steve a mocking face before going back to sweeping up glass with max. Mike then walks off with everyone following right behind him, you and Max decide to forget about the glass pieces since there're definitely way more important things to focus on.

With Mike making a master plan of setting up the underground base on fire and having Dustin,max, and Lucas add onto the idea Steve finally attempts to put his foot down. "We're staying here, ON THE BENCH, and we're waiting for the starting team to do their job, does everybody understand that" Steve says in a demanding tone, "THIS ISN'T A STUPID SPORTS GAME?!" Mike complains to Steve but Steve still stood his ground "I said does everybody understand that, I need a yes.." Steve says pointing his fingers at the kids waiting for a response. "We don't need to listen to you" Mike says still annoyed at Steve, "okay you know what, that's enough...y/n control your kids" steve finally starts talking to you but all you did was respond with crossing your arms and shrugging your shoulders as a sign that there's really not much to say. "Oh seriously you're in on this too!?" Steve exclaims in a flabbergasted tone, "I don't know what to say Steve, it sounds like a really good plan". "Yea a good plan to get us killed". "We're not gonna die okay they know what they're doing!". "Yes imma let a bunch of kids guide me into saving the world, yea sure why not jump off a cliff while I'm at it!",

you and Steve bicker back and forth till you finally give in just to calm Steve down and to get him to shut up, "alright kids you heard him, this plan just might get us killed, steve and only steve thinks its best for us to stay put here" you say in a very rude tone to show that you also dont approved of steves idea, "but-" lucas wanted to say something but went completely quiet when you gave him a look to not talk back "we understand". "fine". "Sure". "Whatever" was the only response you got from the kids as they all got up from the floor but completely halted in their steps when they heard a very loud engine outside...

-----------------------------∆-------------------------------

"okay that doesn't even count, they kids were getting used to me at that time so they just don't understand how scary I can get, they listen to me. I know they do it's just y'all aren't around or y'all don't remember" Steve says still trying to defend himself which causes you and Robin to laugh at Steve's attempt. "You're right that's one of the many times that the kids listened to y/n but if you want I can go on and on and on" Robin says trying to rile Steve up and laughing through her sentence, "okay you know what I think it's time for us to pick up the food" Steve says before walking into the living room filled with many people that just seem to be in their own world, "alright who wants to come with me and get the food?.." steve says loud enough for then to hear but there still was no response given to him, you weren't even sure if they heard him. "HEY! Who wants to go with Steve and pick up the food!?" You say loudly which caused everyone's attention on you and still no response but instead everyone is looking at each other to see who's willing to volunteer and go with Steve, "no one? Okay... Dustin go with Steve" you say short and simple which caused Dustin to let out a dramatic groan, "why do I gotta go, make Mike go or max go" Dustin whines to you, "no complaints now get up and get the food. NOW!?" you reply to Dustin's complaints and say the last part loudly since you didn't see him move until you raised your voice.

You then walked up to Steve giving him a pat on the shoulder and a kiss on the cheek before walking to the bathroom. Everyone goes back to their own world again and Steve still is a little mad at the fact that the kids do only listen to you and never Steve.

-----------------------------∆-------------------------------

Everyone's back at the dining table and there is not a single moment that's silent. Everything is everywhere. Things being passed around in front of everyone, people calling other people's attention from across the table and loud laughter filling the air. It didn't bother you at all, okay maybe a little but you also don't know how else you would prefer the kids to be.

You suddenly snap out of your little thoughts when max mentions your name. "Y/n literally wears the pants of the relationship" max tells Steve, who is still flabbergasted at the fact that the kids listen to only you, "no she doesn't, I think that me and her both are equal in our relationship, right babe" Steve then turns to you asking for your input and opinion, "max we're equal there's no one that wears the pants okay...but I do have to take the lead sometimes" you say the last part quietly but not quite enough for Steve to not hear. "Okay first of all you don't take the lead ALL the time and I wouldn't even put it as you taking the lead, more like you knowing what's better" Steve says defending himself, "oh so she does take the lead I knew it" Eddie then chimes in the conversation out of nowhere, "no she doesn't are you guys even listening to what I'm saying?!" Steve says in a frantic way since he feels as if he's being attacked.

"Wait you're telling me that throughout all the shit we've been through, y/n has always been the decision maker?!" Eddie says in a shocked tone from connecting dots in his mind, "what no of course I make decisions too, you guys act as if I don't do anything!?" Steve raises his voice slightly which causes max and Eddie to laugh out loudly which also causes everyone else's conversation to cut off and wanting to know what's so funny. "We didn't say you don't do anything, we're just saying that you mostly listen to y/n. It honestly seems as if she wears the pants in the relationship" Eddie says while still laughing, this causes others who have been listening to laugh too. "I think we all made it clear that y/n wears the pants, I mean like look at them" max says while gesturing her hands toward me and Steve which causes us to look at each other up and down.

"It's like Steve is the mom and y/n is the dad can we all make that clear" Robin says and everyone else agrees with a small response. "Wait what?" You say a little confused on how the subject can change fast but not the topic which was y'all two, you and Steve being the target and center of the conversation. "Yea I mean you guys are like an old married couple that love each other, I think that's pretty obvious right?" Lucas says that also has everyone else agreeing with him. "Steve is so strict and paranoid like a mom and y/n is so chill and a floater like a dad." Mike adds to Lucas's statement that causes Erica to butt in, "Steve yells at me for not taking my shoes off when I walk in, y/n doesn't even bat an eye about it" Erica's comment left Steve flabbergasted. This had Steve more aware of how motherly he's been acting through the past years. "So I'm the lame, no fun boring mom while y/n is the cool fun dad?!?" Steve asks as if clarification to make sure that what they're saying to him is correct. "Pretty much". "Yea honestly". "if the show fits". "Yea" was the response Steve gets from the kids, "that's so not true I can be fun. Matter in fact I'm totally fun it's just not with y'all. I'm so fun that you guys wouldn't be able to handle me." Steve rants about how fun he is just to prove that he's not a boring mom but that doesn't seem to get to the kids, "that's exactly what a mom would say" Dustin then says to stop Steve from going on and on about "how fun he is", and this time it left Steve silent, infact it left the whole table silent waiting to see what else Steve has left to say but clearly he had nothing.

The silence caused you to let out a little snort of laughter which caused everyone to look at you. Seeing Steve get terrorized by a bunch of kids was too funny to hold in that Steve himself laughed. With you and Steve laughing this caused everyone else to laugh along. Everyone then went back to their regular conversation as if nothing happened.

You then looked at Steve with a cocky grin, "I'm their favorite parent" you say while smirking at him, "don't start" Steve says while rolling his eyes playfully and chuckling.

-----------------------------∆-------------------------------

With everything that has happened in the last 15 hours, the party members calmly agreed to end the day off with a movie. Robin, max, Erica, and El had the couch while everyone else had the floor. The girls wanted you to be on the couch with them but you wanted to end the day with you being in Steve's arms. "Okay everyone brushed their teeth?" Steve asks before he gets himself comfortable and sitting on the floor next to you, "yes MOM" Will says in a joking way which caused Steve to let out a huff then laugh a little. "Come on guys leave him alone, lord knows how many grey hairs you're going to give him by 30" you say in a teasing tone that caused everyone to laugh. "Oooo you're lucky I love you" Steve says after turning off all the light and putting the movie on and laying next to you.

The movie goes on for a while until everyone is out cold. All the junk they ate today completely drained them out. "You know I don't mind being the mom anymore" Steve says all of a sudden, "really? Why's that?" You say a little curious about the sudden change of opinion, "it lets me know that the kids know that I care for them even if it means I'm not fun." Steve says in a low voice trying not to wake everyone up, "I think they already know that you care for them. They just say that to get a rise out of you", you say letting out a breathy laugh that you covered with your mouth. "At least they aren't scared of me" Steve says trying to make himself feel better, "well at least they think I'm fun" you reply back in an instant to Steve's remark. "At least we're viewed as their parents" Steve says looking into your eyes with a boyish grin. "You know what, you're right, at least they look up to us" you reply back to Steve before leaning in to kiss him which Steve kissed back in an instant.

"WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME?!?!" Mike exclaims in a loud tone since he just caught you and Steve making out AGAIN.

And then he added so quietly that Buck almost missed it: “I mean, how would I? As I don’t see you.” And Buck was struck through the core and taken back in time.

So that’s what was wrong.

Buck never believed that until his first hangover in his thirties hit him like a fucking freight train. He had vowed to never get that drunk again. And he’d kept that promise to himself for over a year. That all changed at Maddie and Chimney’s wedding. He’d like it noted that it wasn’t his fault that he got so drunk. He hadn’t had any of the mimosas that were flowing while Maddie and her bridal party got ready because he didn’t want to risk anything going wrong when he walked Maddie down the aisle. In fact, he hadn’t had a drink until after he gave his speech.

Beefy blonde twink gets railed by— Buck's voice calls out from the kitchen “Did you find it yet?” and Eddie hastily closes the tab, opening another with a surprising speed from someone considered technologically illiterate. As close as they were, he’d never had a thought about the type of ‘adult entertainment’ Buck was partial to. Now, it was all he could think about.

Steve Harrington time stamps

For when you just want to watch Steve’s scenes

I had the idea to do this during my current rewatch thanks to @harmonictechnicality (who was very happy for me to post this) and then @al-ghoul sent me his timestamps so a HUGE thank you there!

Oh, and @faequeentitania has a supercut of all of Eddie's scenes (link is in their bio) so I didn’t add Eddie’s time stamps to this post

My original intention was to not post this until it was completely done, but I honestly don't have much energy right now, so there are only time stamps up to S04E05. But I do intend to finish it one day! (If anyone wants to help out with the remaining ones, that would be great.) You can also see where the formatting changes and that's where I stopped typing up my notes and just used what @al-ghoul sent me, but I do want to reformat it so it's uniform, and add in songs used for his scenes, but I just wanted to get this out there

And I want to say sorry if someone has already done something like this in the meantime! I tried searching but Tumblr search isn't great

[missingexaltation]

Before Season 4, Eddie was a tentatively harmless) little shit and you can't tell me any different. Wayne's aware of his shenanigans but he's happy to let Eddie make his mistakes and face the consequences himself. (he was the same at his age)

He can hotwire a car. Sure he said he dad taught him as a kid, but to do it so smoothly and confidently under pressure? That boy's done a lot of joyriding, idk what to tell you.

He's a dealer. Chances are he's been arrested for it and talked his way out of it at least once. I'd bet he knows the law to the letter so that he can get away with more than he should. That boy has the gift of the gab, and it's not usually worth the headache dealing with him.

He's living in the trailer park with his uncle so I'm guessing he's poor as shit. I'd also bet that he's a bit of a petty thief. Nothing from people, but from bigger businesses? You betcha. He'll take that t shirt or ring or candy and shove it in his pockets. He'd pay if he had the cash, but he just doesn't.

He's also pretty good with people. (In canon anyway.) If a jock shoves him in the hallway, Eddie's conveniently in the next class flirting with their girlfriend. Weirdly enough, damn successfully. Want a guy to leave you alone? Befriend their girl. 'Johnny just leave him alone'. Etc. (Sometimes he charms too much and he ends up when their number and a very hush hush hookup. Bonus, but his lips are sealed if asked.)

He's not above abusing the prices of his drugs either. Some jumped up rich boy comes to him at a party, half drunk? Getting charged thrice the price at least. Supply and demand. He has the supply AND makes the demands. It's not his fault they're not up for negotiating, and he feels zero guilt. (The ladies usually get discounts though, he's not made of stone.)

Steve, Nancy and Robin are appalled when they find this out post-Vecna. They're all well behaved when they're not saving the world, but Eddie's been arrested. He has a criminal record.

(If Steve gets all hot under the collar when Eddie brings up something he's done that's mildly illegal then no he doesn't, shut the hell up).

#Eddie Munson #He's a grotty little gremlin boy that only behaves when Wayne steps in #he seems like the kinda guy that's living his best life by making the most of what he's got #the freedom of getting away with absolutely everything until suddenly he's on the run for being a serial killer...oops #i love the idea of Eddie hotwiring the cars of jocks that threaten him...like 'watch yo girl watch yo ride...he coming for them' #he's definitely had run ins with Hopper...but he turns on the waterworks and gets let go...the grubby lil manipulator #Eddie Munson character analysis #stranger things fic ideas #stranger things au

[rbinsgf]

Kas!Eddie is fun and hot and plausible and all yeah yeah we get it but you know what is also very fun and hot and plausible ?

Kas!Steve.

Steve was the one to mention vampires and he actually got fucked up by the bats too, his wounds look like literal WINGS on his back y’all.

I need people to follow me here I’m loosing my mind.

Like just imagine in S5 as the duffers said they would use past major ideas that got scrapped off of the previous season, one of them was Steve’s death (it was supposed to happen in s1 and the brothers said they wanted to go full circle too) SO

Steve becomes Kas, Vecna’s puppet, and the only way to stop him is to kill him or maybe if they kill Vecna he dies too or whatever.

Idk I think we should focus a bit on this possibility as a fandom like, there’s some foreshadowing if we think about it:

-Robin mentions rabies

-Erica painting a Kas action figure

-Steve’s wounds and how he didn’t seem THAT weakened by them (sus)

-Steve himself mentions vampires

-Duffers hinting as major characters dying and going full circle + using past ideas

There may be more idk I have to think about it.

Also vampire Steve would be sexy as hell

Something Special

Summary; Dustin fails to mention his sister is a cheerleader or the fact he even has one to Eddie and the other older members of Hellfire.

She isn't fussed about being in the popular crowd and kinda keeps to herself. Then she meets Eddie and something special begins.

Warnings; fluff, a lot of fluff. AU season 4

Pairings; Eddie Munson x Henderson! Reader

I do not give permission for anyone to copy my work.

💕💞

''Are you sure y/n is picking us up?". She hears Lucas ask her brother Dustin and she rushes in knowing she's already late.

Cheer practice overran by ten minutes and she was cramming hard for a test in the library straight after so she lost track of time.

Shit, her mother will freak out if her precious Dustykins is home late.

To her immense irritation when she heads into the auditorium where Hellfire is held, Dustin, Lucas and Mike are still playing Dungeons and Dragons. She huffs.

"Hey dingus, get your ass moving, you know we can't be late or panic will ensue over mums precious Dustykins".

Lucas snorts and Dustin glares at her his cheeks turning pink. "Y/n, we're still playing the game and don't call me that".

He glances to the top of the table where she can just see a head of curly brown hair peeking out, she assumes this is Eddie.

She's heard a lot about him from Dustin who worships Eddie as much as he does Steve Harrington and everyone calls Eddie the freak but she's never actually had a conversation with him.

He puts down whatever he's reading and stands up glowering at Dustin and snaps. "Who the hell is this Henderson and why is she interrupting our campaign!".

Her eyes widen and she heads over to meet him not liking his tone with her brother one bit. If anyone gets to annoy and shout at Dustin it's her.

"Hey! Don't you speak to him like that". Eddie blinks surprised as she marches up to him and Dustin looks panicked. " Shit! Shit!".

"I'm the dungeon master, this is my campaign. You come flouncing in here shouting to Henderson and interrupting the most important part of our game and dare to call me out princess?".

Princess!?

"If I want to come in and get my brother then I will, I didn't know you were still playing". Eddie stares between her and Dustin brow furrowing.

"You didn't tell me you had a sister and that she's a cheerleader or the fact that she's gorgeous Henderson". Eddie says to Dustin who makes a face and she feels her stomach flutter annoyingly.

"Gorgeous ew dude gross and I didn't tell you because she's my annoying big sister and she'd embarrass me". Oh, so she was annoying was she?

"Hey Dusty, what's that song you listen to over and over and I hear you sing to your girlfriend Suziekins...

🎶Turn around look at what you see 🎶 he clamps his hand over her mouth and Lucas and Mike snort in the background.

Eddie looks at her with something akin to approval in his eyes and Dustin shakes his head.

"Don't listen to her Eddie, she's just talking shit". She smirks at him.

"Shouldn't have called me annoying DustyBun". He sighs and she's brought back to focusing on Eddie.

She didn't know why he was called a freak by the other people in the school and just assumed they were narrow-minded because he didn't even seem that bad.

Arrogant and annoying yes but that was it. He was also kinda hot, the leather jacket/denim vest combo, his big brown eyes, the tats? Yeah, it was sexy. He was sexy.

He catches her checking him out and moves closer to her. "You're welcome to stay princess, take a seat. Dustybun won't be long".

Dustin swears and she settles down intrigued by the game and definitely intrigued by Eddie. His eyes catch hers quite a few times and when the game ends he approaches her with a glint In his eyes that makes her whole body tingle.

"So y/n wanna drop off these little shits and rent a movie or something?". Dustin looks at them both in horror.

"Like a date?". She asks suddenly feeling a little shy and he nods.

"Definitely a date sweetheart". She beams and agrees very excited to get to know Eddie better.

"I'd love to".

...

"Ahh shit". Dustin groans.

Chapter Six

Chapter Seven

Chrissy was running through the woods, the trees changing with quickly transitioning seasons: red, yellow, green, and the whiteness of snow. Suddenly, she was falling with the leaves, and she was in the Upside Down. The vines slid around her wrists and ankles, pining her to her knees. Eddie stood in front of her, his eyes red.

"You failed to save Barb," he said, his cold voice echoing in the darkness as Barb's body appeared before her.

"You failed to save Will." Will's body appeared next to Barb.

"You failed to save your mom. Your brother. Your friends. My friends. How can I love someone so heartless. . . So fat. . . Little Piggy?"

Eddie plunged his hand into Chrissy's chest and pulled it out of her chest, revealing her very own beating heart. Suddenly, it was switched, and Eddie was on his knees with Chrissy holding his heart in her hands.

"Either way, I'm dead. . . Either way, you killed me. . ."

Eddie lay dead at her feet with her friends and family while a demogorgon stood over them, blood dripping from its open face. Chrissy screamed.

"Little Piggy, Little Piggy. . .let me in. . ."

Chrissy woke up with a gasp. She was twisted up in her sheets and covered in sweat. Her heart was pounding in her chest. She looked at her clock on her bedside table. Ugh. 4:30 in the morning. Yeah, there was no way that she was going to get back to sleep. She scribbled in her journal as she sat by her window and wrote until the sun started to come up. Chrissy sighed as she watched the sunrise. It was a little warmer now and getting closer to spring, but it was also the end of the month, which meant that she was going to go to the lab for a check-up with Will. She hated going there. . .well, Dr. Owens was nice enough, but the place still gave her the creeps. She got up and walked over to her dresser, looking at her pig figurine.

"Well, Wilbur, now what?" Chrissy asked as she poked Wilbur's snout.

Her eyes landed on the framed photo of her and Eddie locking eyes with her while he was on stage. He looked so good in that picture, and Chrissy smiled. Now, would be a perfect time for a shower.

"I'm just saying you took a long time in the shower!" Dustin said as she pushed him into Steve’s car.

"Shut up!" Chrissy hissed. "It was early. No one else was supposed to be up."

"Tell that to my bladder!" Dustin exclaimed.

"What's happening?" Steve asked.

"Nothing! Nothing!" She said quickly, blushing.

"Chrissy was trying to take the hot water away from the other people living in the house," Dustin said.

"I was not!" Chrissy exclaimed. "I was just - I just got lost in thought."

"Who wants to guess what she was thinking about?" Steve asked with a grin, and Robin snickered.

"What?! Oh! But Mike said women don't do that," Dustin said.

"Don't listen to Mike," Robin and Nancy said in unison.

Chrissy put her hands on her face and groaned.

"Don't worry, Chrissy, you're not the only one," Nancy laughed. "Robin takes long showers too."

"Nance!" Robin exclaimed. "You're a terrible sister. I was going to be the one to educate our idiot brother, but I think I'm going to leave it up to you."

Chrissy moved away from them as quickly possible. She was terribly embarrassed. Maybe she could avoid them all today. Maybe Eddie and the others wouldn't be sitting with them at lunch today because they had Hellfire business. Chrissy smiled and breathed a sigh of relief as she walked into school. Maybe he wasn't even here today. She was quickly proven wrong, however, when she saw Eddie leaning against her locker.

"Did you get here early this morning?" Chrissy asked.

"For once, I did," Eddie grinned.

Robin and Nancy were walking by at that moment. They laughed and wiggled their eyebrows at her.

"You should ask her if she had a good shower this morning," Robin said teasingly as she walked away.

"Uh, did you have a good shower this morning?" Eddie asked nervously.

Chrissy sighed loudly and pressed her face against the cool metal of the locker. It actually helped cool her warm face down.

"I hate Robin," Chrissy muttered.

"You shouldn't be ashamed of falling in the shower. It happens to the best of us. I do it all the time," Eddie said. "Uncle Wayne keeps telling me that it's a terrible place to air guitar and to use the showerhead as a microphone."

Chrissy felt her face grow warmer as she tried to beat that image out of her head.

"Shut up!" She exclaimed. "I didn't fall in the shower."

"Oh, did you piss? Yeah, sometimes that happens," Eddie said.

"You don't have to keep guessing, Eddie," Chrissy laughed, her forehead still pressed to the locker.

"Oh, was it the other thing?" Eddie whispered.

"NO!"

"Oh. Oh! OH! Fuck, Stan told me women don't do that," Eddie said.

"Do I need to educate you on the female body?" Chrissy asked, her head snapping to look at him.

"Hm, a little forward there, Henderson," Eddie grinned, and she rolled her eyes. "But you should know that I've only slept with one woman, so you're going to have to be gentle with me."

"Fuck off," Chrissy said with a laugh and then paused. "So, only one woman?"

"Yeah, pretty sure she was daring herself to sleep with me," Eddie sighed. "But that's okay, I'm not heartbroken over it. I'm not looking to be anyone's boyfriend."

"Oh, you're not?" Chrissy asked, trying not to sound disappointed.

"Yeah, I'm not exactly boyfriend material, not for anyone," Eddie said, shrugging.

"Oh, well, that's too bad," Chrissy said, trying to ignore the gnawing feeling in her stomach. "I'm sure you would make an excellent boyfriend."

"Yeah, right," Eddie said with a snort. "That's about as likely as the basketball team winning the championship this year."

"They're working really hard this year!" Chrissy exclaimed, trying not to laugh.

Chrissy let Eddie walk her to class as she tried not to think about what he told her. She didn't want to be one of those girls who thought she should change a boy. If Eddie doesn't want to be a boyfriend, then that's his right, and if he ever decided to change his mind, then it should be up to him. Still, it didn't stop her from being disappointed. She pouted all day, and when she got to lunch, she was glad to see that Hellfire wasn't going to be eating with them for once.

"Hellfire business?" Chrissy asked Robin.

"Hellfire business," Robin replied. "What's up with you?"

"Nothing," Chrissy huffed as she dove into her food.

"Is it because of this evening? Will gets antsy when he has to go too," Jonathan said. "But you know that."

"I mean, yeah, I hate going, and I get that it's necessary or whatever, but it's not just that," Chrissy said with a sigh. "Eddie doesn't want to be my boyfriend."

"What? That's crazy!" Steve exclaimed. "I've seen the way he looks at you."

"I'm sorry, Chrissy," Nancy said softly.

"I mean, he actually doesn't want to be anyone's boyfriend which I guess includes being my boyfriend," Chrissy said.

"So, he didn't actually tell you that he didn't want to be your boyfriend?" Robin asked.

"No, not directly," Chrissy said. "He says he's not boyfriend material."

"Maybe he was hurt in the past, wounded, and he's not ready to be in a relationship with anyone yet," Robin said.

"Has he dated anyone?" Jonathan asked.

"Not really. He said he slept with one woman before, and he said it was like she was daring herself. That's when he said he wasn't exactly heartbroken over it because he wasn't looking to be anyone's boyfriend," Chrissy said.

"Maybe it hurt him a lot more than he thought it did," Nancy said. "And maybe in his own way without knowing, he was telling you that he wasn't ready for a relationship yet."

"Maybe," she said. "Okay, can we talk about something else? I'm not even sure I should have told you all of that."

Chrissy tried not to get her hopes up about what Nancy told her. If he wasn't ready yet, Chrissy was patient enough and understanding to wait for him. She wasn't going to wait forever, though. She didn't pay attention to any of her other classes because now she was thinking about how this evening was going to go. When the bell rang, signaling the end of school, she wandered out into the parking lot to find Hopper waiting to pick her up. Just as she was about to head toward his vehicle, Eddie stopped her.

"Hey, do you need a ride?" Eddie asked.

"Hop is picking me up for my therapy session," Chrissy said.

"Therapy session?" Eddie asked.

"Yeah, to talk about what happened in the woods, you know," Chrissy said. "Sorry, I didn't tell you. I don't really like talking about it."

"I get it," he said softly. "Are you okay?"

Chrissy smiled but didn't say anything. She stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. Eddie froze for a moment before hugging her back. She stood in his arms for a moment, her head buzzing as she enjoyed the feeling of his arms around her. Chrissy pulled back and pressed a hard kiss to his cheek. She pulled away and watched his stunned reaction. He let out a quick burst of laughter and twirled around way too fast, which caused him to run right into a pole. She caught him before he hit the ground and stood him up right.

"Eddie!" Chrissy exclaimed, looking worried.

"I'm fine! I'm fine!" Eddie said quickly, rubbing his forehead. "Go on!"

Chrissy giggled as she walked over to the car. Hopper was struggling not to laugh.

"Your boyfriend is a goddamn idiot," Hopper finally laughed.

"Not my boyfriend," Chrissy said, grinning and pausing. "So, you're not worried?"

"He's more likely to hurt himself than he is you," Hopper said.

Hopper spent the rest of the car ride teasing Chrissy about Eddie until she blasted the radio and glared heavily at him. He turned it off with a laugh. She rolled her eye as he pulled into the parking lot of the lab. She knew what he was doing, trying to take her mind off of where she was going. She climbed out of the car and smiled at the sight of Joyce's car. She was prepared this time when Will threw himself into her stomach.

"Oh, thank God, my savior," Chrissy said, hugging him tightly.

"Uh oh, what'd Hop do now?" Joyce asked in amusement.

"It's not what I did," Hopper said laughing.

"It's not that funny, Hop," Chrissy rolled her eyes.

"She gave her boyfriend a kiss on the cheek. He got this goofy looking grin on his face, turned around, and ran right into the pole," Hopper said. "Smacked his head pretty good."

"Oh no!" Joyce laughed.

"That's hilarious," Will grinned.

"He's not my boyfriend," Chrissy rolled her eyes.

"Right," Will grinned as he took her hand. "Dustin said he runs a D&D Club at the high school. Do you think it's going to still be there when we get to high school?"

"For your sake, I hope so," Chrissy said.

"Do you think we could meet him? He sounds so cool," Will said.

"He'd be up for it," Chrissy grinned.

"Jonathan says he plays guitar," Will said. "He said he could be better though."

"What?! That's crazy. Eddie's really good already, I don't know how he could possibly need to get any better," Chrissy said furiously. "And I guess he was lying when he that he loved the way he played."

"He actually never said that, but Jonathan did say you really liked him," Will said slyly.

"You shithead," Chrissy laughed and ruffled his head.

With her arm held tightly around him, their laughter stopped as they entered the building. Chrissy and Will shivered. They both liked Dr. Owens well enough, but it was the building itself that unnerved them. It was what it represented: all the pain that was inflected because of one man and his need to play God. Barb was dead because of this place. . .because of Dr. Brenner. They reassured them that he was gone now, but she had this feeling on the back of her neck that made her think otherwise.

"Thanks for being my friend," Barb's voice whispered in her mind.

Benny was dead because of them, too, and despite the fact that the woman who put a bullet in his head was dead, it still didn't feel like enough. Chrissy felt a tug on her hand, and she looked down at Will. He looked encouragingly at her before pulling her inside with him. They dealt with the tests together and separately. They dealt with constant questioning, and they talked with them about what happened in the Upside Down, what they both went through. They even talked about their nightmares, and Chrissy talked about the voice in the darkness that kept calling to her. She rolled her eyes openly when the doctor told her it was perfectly normal after everything she went through. It certainly didn't feel like it. Chrissy knew they were doing the best with what they were working with, though, because she had a feeling like they were out of their element. Chrissy and Will walked out of there with both of their arms wrapped around each other. Then they just stood in the parking lot, hugging each other.

"Are you sure you don't want to come with me today?" Chrissy asked.

"No, that's for you and Dustin," Will smiled. "But thank you."

Chrissy hugged Joyce goodbye before hopping into the other vehicle.

"Same thing?" Hopper asked her as he drove off.

"Yeah," Chrissy replied.

They picked up Dustin and went to the baseball field. Chrissy always told Hopper that it wasn't necessary to wait, but there was a part of her who appreciated it. Chrissy put on a helmet and stood at the plate with a bat. Dustin threw the first softball, and she hit it with the most satisfying sound that always came with hitting the first ball.

"You know, you have a really good throwing arm. You should really think about playing," Chrissy told her brother.

"Yeah, not a chance," Dustin said. "I told you before that the game isn't for me, I just like playing with you. I know how much you need this."

"Thanks, Dusty," Chrissy said.

She hit the softballs again and again, getting all of her frustrations out. She imagined them as Dr. Brenner's face on every single one of them. She hit the last one out of the park. Chrissy was quick to run around the bases, jumping onto the home plate with an excited yell. Dustin hollered as he ran over to her and hugged her. Chrissy hugged him tightly, kissing the top of his head. God, pretty soon, he was going to be the same height as her, maybe even taller than her. She didn't want this moment to end. All of a sudden, she heard a familiar wolf whistle. Chrissy broke away from the hug and looked to find Eddie sitting in the bleachers with Hopper.

"I called him," Dustin said with a shrug. "Are you mad?"

Chrissy grinned wickedly for a moment before wandering over to the fence. Eddie met her there, sliding his fingers through the holes.

"You make sports look good, Henderson," Eddie said.

"Come around here, and I'll show you just how good they are," Chrissy said.

"That would ruin my image of being a complete and utter nerd," Eddie said.

"Don't you know?" Chrissy gasped.

"What?" Eddie asked.

"You mean, you haven't heard?" She asked.

"Heard what?" He asked.

"Jocks are nerds. Every single one of them, it's just that they don't realize it," Chrissy said.

"They're closeted nerds," Eddie said in confusion.

"Well, they obsess over the games rather enthusiastically in ways I have seen Dustin do. Some of them memorize statistics like no one's buisness. They gather together in convention like places while wearing costumes. Don't get me started on the fantasy leagues," Chrissy said. "Also, equipments like the bat. . . It's almost like wielding a sword."

"Oh my God," Dustin said in realization, standing behind her.

"Shit, those poor closeted bastards," Eddie cursed. "Do you think they take it out people like me because they don't want to admit we're the same?"

"Hm, their hate is learned behavior, passed down from people who believe their interests are better when in reality they're equal," Chrissy said. "Different interests, equally important to the people that care about it."

"Alright, you convinced me, but only because you said it's like wielding a sword," Eddie said.

He walked onto the field and plopped the helmet off of her head before sitting it on his head.

"Georgous," she said, and he cackled before getting into position. "Don't hold the bat like that!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, there's a wrong way to hold a bat?" Eddie asked.

"Yes, especially if you're pretending it's a sword. You're touching the blade," Chrissy laughed. "Unless you decided that it's an ax, then yes, that's exactly how you hold it."

Chrissy grabbed his hand and slid it a little closer to the other hand. Eddie grinned.

"How am I standing?" He asked as he slid his legs further apart in a very ridiculous way. "Is this good?"

"Close your legs, you slut," Chrissy laughed.

"Hey, are we going to play ball, or are you going to continue to flirt with my sister?!" Dustin asked.

"Is this a trick question?!" Eddie yelled back.

"Eye on the ball, Edward!" Dustin shrieked.

"Throw it, you shrimp!" Eddie exclaimed.

He hit the plate with the back and wiggled his hips wildly, squating while jutting his butt out. Chrissy snorted with laughter and held up a hand to tell Dustin to wait. She pressed her other hand to her stomach as she almost bent over laughing. Once she got control of herself, she stood behind Eddie and kicked his legs a little closer together. She pushed his butt back in a little bit before placing her hands on his hips and stood on her tiptoes to whisper in his ear.

"You're standing on the battlefield. You're facing a fiercesome beast. On the other side of the beast are your friends. Do you run and hide or face the beast to save your friends? What do you say, Eddie the Banished?" Chrissy asked.

"Ugh, what are you doing to me, Chrissy Henderson?" Eddie said.

Chrissy giggled as Dustin tossed him the ball, and when he missed, Eddie yelled in frustration. Eddie managed to finally hit the ball on the third try, knocking it out of the park. Eddie whooped and started running the wrong way. He winked at Chrissy as he ran back and ran around the field. He skidded into home plate with a wide grin. He grabbed Chrissy from behind and twirled her around.

"Unhand my sister, you scoundrel!" Dustin shrieked.

"I shan't! Do you think you can defeat me?!" Eddie exclaimed as Chrissy giggled.

Dustin picked up the bat and held it out like a sword. Eddie gasped and set Chrissy down. He quickly grabbed the bat out of Dustin's hands and tossed it. Dustin shrieked and rammed into his stomach. Eddie laughed as they wrestled. Chrissy bit her lip as she watched him with her brother. She was going to do everything in her power not to hurt this man. It was days like this that having her friends, her family. . .having Eddie made things feel all better.

We Almost Forgot Movie Night

Relationship: Steddie x reader 

Warnings: None (spoiler free)

Summary: A sort of continuation of the poly relationship headcanons between reader and Steddie, where the boys insist you stop working and just kiss them / give affection, being the needy boys that they are. Lots of fluff and kisses, because it’s what they both deserve. Also Dustin & Max show up for weekly move nights which you did not forget about at all.   

All writings belong to me @bakerstreethound (Do NOT repost or translate my works to any other sites. I only publish here and on A03 under the same username).

Word Count: 1.2k

A/N: The Steddie ship is out in the harbor once more. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written them but I really can’t help but love their dynamic. This is probs post season 4 because the boys must be protected at all costs and this was self indulgent on my part. Graphic by @firefly-graphics​ I hope you enjoy. 

“Sweetheart, please. You’ve been writing there for hours,” Eddie pouts, sighing heavily as he rolls up some weed. You grumble in response, pen still scribbling dutifully along the crumbled pages before you. Steve mutters incoherently, caught up at the phone most likely giving some advice to Robin before he slams the receiver down.

“Babe, Eddie is right. You’ve been working on that report all damn day. We need you.” Steve grumbles, falling into Eddie’s lap, causing him to yelp, but he settles when he makes way to stroke Steve’s hair, lost in thought. Steve instantly melts into Eddie, murmuring in contentment. 

The briefest of smiles crosses your lips before you’re biting on it again, frustrated at the direction your ideas are going. Your pen cannot keep up with the constant stream of thoughts and ideas filtering through your brain. That’s when you have the briefest thought of crumbling up the work and tossing it, but you get up and stretch your arms, grumbling. 

Your frown disappears though when you see both of your boys sprawled out on the couch melded into each other, grasping at each other so tightly. They look so content, so peaceful, without a care in the world for once in their lives. Your heart thumps once, then twice again, skipping a beat, for you love these two idiots with everything you are. 

You find yourself curling up against Steve, inhaling his scent, wrapping a leg around him to anchor him to you, one of your hands reaching out to Eddie’s ring-cladded fingers. Soon enough your eyes grow heavy, your breath steadying as you nuzzle Steve, squeezing Eddie's hand before letting your worries drift away. 

****

"Did you call them?" Dustin clutches his walkie, biking quickly as he can to Eddie and Max’s trailer park. 

“Wow genius, you think I didn’t already? I called like five times.” Max’s voice cuts through the static and Dustin rolls his eyes. 

“We had this movie night planned for over a week, how the hell would they forget?” Dustin almost shouted, peddling faster, taking another sharp jagged turn, the entrance to the park visible up ahead. 

“They might be busy painting each other’s nails,” Max snickers again, “or they could be...” she opens the door, Dustin scowling as he pushes her aside. 

“Shut up, Max, I don’t want to hear about what extracurricular activities they are engaging in, ugh!” 

“You want to do the honors or should I?” Max unsuccessfully fights off another snicker. 

“If it’s bad, I mean really bad with their limbs all tangled, I will warn you and scream, how’s that?” he tosses her a grim unamused sort of smile, stepping further into the trailer, almost yelling, “Okay idiots, time to stop the fun times, it’s movie night!” 

The utter silence that meets him is deafening. His pulse races faster, mind racing with all the worst-case scenario possibilities. They had to be alright. 

"Dustin? What's wrong?" Max comes up behind him, shutting the door, leaving them both in the cavernous quiet increasing by the moment. The faint glow from a lamp on the side table illuminates a familiar form and still, Dustin doesn't breathe a sigh of relief, yet. 

"Holy shit, are they dead...is that?" He creeps closer and Max rolls her eyes, poking Eddie's sleeping form that Steve's wrapped around, with your chest pressing into Steve’s backside. 

Max's breathing steadies before she speaks. "They fell asleep Dustin, there's no Demogorgon around."

"Should we wake them?" 

"No, Dustin. We're raiding their fridge, warming up pizza, and eating popcorn and candy. You can pick out the movie. It's their loss after all."  Max rolled her eyes, reluctantly starting up the oven while Dustin made his way to rifle through the pantry that needs some serious reorganization. 

******

A crash then a rattle sounds from the kitchen and Eddie tenses, bolting up from the couch, a whine slipping from Steve’s lips. “Uh…guys…?” Eddie’s shoulders tense more as he shakes Steve who clings harder to the blanket, pressing up against you more causing you to stir. 

“Eddie…we’re safe you have us…” you mumble quietly, reaching out for him and he crawls over Steve settling into your arms. 

A few more minutes pass in silence before another resounding crash is heard and Eddie clings harder and you stroke his back gently, listening hard. Steve only grumbles again, nuzzling up against Eddie fully sandwiching him between the both of you. 

Your mind starts to drift a little before another noise rattles through the trailer, causing you to tense up, your brain jolting, finally remembering. 

“Shit, Eddie we slept two or three hours past movie night. We gotta get up and call the kids.” 

He groans in retaliation, clinging to you harder, until another rattling noise sounds from the kitchen and he wedges out of the comfort of you and Steve. 

“Eddieeee…” Steve whines at the loss, but Eddie’s on a mission and you follow close behind, only to bump right into Dustin Henderson who is carrying a bowl of burnt popcorn. 

“What the shit!” some of the popcorn flies through the air as Eddie brings Dustin into a bear hug and you snag the popcorn bowl away so no more kernels will fall on the floor. 

Eddie snickers, unrelenting in musing Dustin’s hair as he tackles him to the floor. “You’re a total butthead Henderson.” 

“I second the notion.” You nibble on some of the popcorn, balking at the taste and a package of candy makes way into your hands. 

Max rolls her eyes, offering you a grin. “It’ll taste much better. I also got a pizza in the oven for us.” 

“What’s for us?” Steve walks in, bleary eyed and eyes scrunching at the scene in front of him, “who let the kids in? We’re off duty today.” 

You roll your eyes, staring fondly at him as he huffs and walks over to you, pulling you into a kiss. You melt into it, groaning when he nibbles it. You can hear Max holding back a sound of disgust as she returns to the kitchen to retrieve the pizza since she couldn’t trust Dustin to not burn it. 

“EW Gross what happened to no PDA?” Dustin gasps again. “You agreed on movie nights to not do it.” 

Steve groans and rolls his eyes watching as Eddie lifts Dustin off the floor and ruffles his hair affectionately.  “How can we repay you for almost missing movie night, butthead?” 

“Actually watch the entire movie with Max and I without trying to makeout every five seconds.” 

“Hey it’s five minutes.” Steve retorts and Eddie huffs in amusement. 

Max strolls in with the pizza and sets it on the coffee table pulling herself off a slice and setting on the floor. “You mean , Dustin, we’re lucky that we can survive it regardless of the crap they do while they’re supposed to pay attention.”

You sigh and take a slice yourself, settling back onto the couch with Steve and Eddie following suit as they sandwich you, dutifully keeping their hands to themselves as Dustin puts the movie in. The beginning credits start to roll and lips are trailing softly along your neck, causing you to bite your pizza hard to suppress a groan. 

You were going to be in for a long night.

shopping headcannons ᥫ᭡ the gang.

synopsis ↝ in which you live through the chaos of shopping with nancy, steve, robin, and eddie. :)

pairings ↝ stranger things gang x fem!reader.

warnings ↝ swearing, eddie and steve being eddie and steve

notes ↝ just finished season 4 and i swear if they kill off my wife nancy wheeler i will not be watching the show ever again !! (creds to gif owner)

the real question of the night is how in the hell did you convince them all to go.

you first brought up the idea to nancy, and she was actually excited to go; because she thought it was going to be the two of you.

little did she know, you invited all of your closest friends to tag along with you guys.

steve actually also didn’t mind the idea of shopping, but he also didn’t know nancy was tagging along with you guys.

robin said no at first but after some convincing from you and steve, she eventually gave in.

eddie said no.

“no way, (y/n), that’s probably the dumbest fucking idea you’ve ever came up with!”

“why is it dumb? it’ll be so much fun, pretty please?”

“no.. and stop looking at me like that.”

“i’ll pay you.”

eddie raised his eyebrow at you, “how much?”

“i’ll give you all of my birthday savings,” you smirked.

“deal.”

were you actually going to give him your birthday savings? absolutely not.

nancy was completely surprised when you told her about inviting the other three. she wasn’t necessarily mad more like “damn girl you really invading our plans” because it was you and nancy’s plan in the beginning.

steve and eddie are absolutely chaotic, looking after them in the mall was LITERALLY like looking after 10 year olds

“eddie, stop touching things if you’re not going to buy them!”

“buying things? with what money? i’ve been forced here against my will!” eddie whined.

“me too,” robin said, grabbing a pack of gum from the shelf.

this was actually a very nice time for nancy because she’s constantly working her ass off, so getting to go out and buy things for herself felt nice.

to be completely honest, nancy was the only one who even bought things.

she’s the mom of the group as well, so she was literally yelling at the four of you like a real mother.

during your guys time at the mall, you, nancy, and robin were exiting a store. you guys had told the guys to stay put outside and that you guys would be right out.

the three of you weren’t even in the store for more than two minutes ..

once you guys are out you immediately notice steve and eddie missing so obviously you’re like “??”

your confusion was soon answered as your eyes meet with a running eddie munson with steve hot on his trail

these mfs were racing. in the mall.

the concerned looks of the other customers made robin laugh and cheer them on but you and nancy are like “bitch you fr rn”

but all hell breaks loose when steve goes to grab at eddie’s hair but instead of succeeding, falls smack on his ass

eddie stops and turns around wide eyed, before laughing at steve trying to pick himself up

how you guys didn’t get kicked out of the mall is beyond me

“since we literally cannot trust two grown adult men to not have supervision inside a mall, you guys are coming with us while we shop!” nancy said.

groans were heard from eddie, but steve was just glad the embarrassment of falling was wearing off

“do you guys think this dress would look pretty on me?”

“no, eddie, put that down.”

“why?”

“because it’s literally a children’s dress.”

meanwhile robin is rubbing a soft blanket before turning to nancy, “imagine shaving your legs and then covering up with this.”

nancy smiled, “that would be just magical.”

steve just standing there like🕴🏻

“you guys wanna go get slushees?”

“fuck yeah!”

you, nancy, robin, and eddie sat at a booth in the corner while steve ordered your guys slushees

after a few minute wait, the four of you heard a loud screech

you turn to look at the counter and see steve with wide eyes and a worker with blue slushee stained all over her top.

“shit, i am so sorry!” steve said, frantically trying to wipe her shirt down with a napkin, but that just ended up smearing

the lady reported you guys and turns out, people had reported your guys group before the slushee incident

while steve and eddie were racing, many people reported you guys

and the lady reporting you guys must’ve been the last straw because you guys were kicked out

“great going, harrington.” robin said as you guys all sat on the curb outside.

“yeah, yeah.”

[littlerosetrove]

I really enjoyed this episode! Without spoilers, it felt like the 911 that we all love a-la season 3 kinda feeling. The characters felt connected rather than disconnected like they were in season 6 and some in season 5. The 911 calls were the perfect length, nothing lingered unnecessarily, again unlike in season 6 where that was an issue. And I really enjoyed the theme of relationships, romantic relationships in particular, and examining if the relationship is healthy or perhaps going stagnant.

🌟 Now on to my Spoiler Thoughts for 7x1 in no particular order. 🌟

-Marisol was legit on screen for maybe 3 seconds, and Eddie even mentioning her was to say “oh I’m dating a woman.” We really got nothing from it beyond, to me at least, some cringe. That’s it. 😆 Bruh, this is really giving “yeah she won’t be around that long,” cause she wasn’t presented as particularly important. 

- Marisol was helping chaperone Chris’s date? Ngl that’s a bit weird if she and Eddie haven’t been dating long, but perhaps that’s just me. I’m so curious how Chris even feels about Marisol. Does he think, “Doesn't matter, she probably won’t stay”?? Does Chris only like Marisol because it seems to make Eddie happy, but that’s the extent? So curious.

- Omg Eddie wants Bucks to talk to Chris, a player apparently, because at one time Buck was one. Like father, like son. 

- Again loved this theme of couples just seeing if they’re doing well, are they stagnant, and just what’s important to them. 

- Oh gosh, Chris sees that no matter how nice or good you are, he thinks the girl will still leave. Like his mom. Godddd. </3 And this also shows that Chris still thinks highly of his dad. He sees that his dad is a good guy, but women in his life still leave. Goddddddd.

- Bye Natalia, you will not be missed. Buck and Natalia broke up off screen because “all she wanted to talk about was death.” And thus I liked Eddie’s comment to Buck, “Welcome back to the living.” Indeed!

- I’m into this exploration of Bobby and Athena seeing what they are “without all the chaos.” Poor Bobby he was trying so hard with Athena on this cruise, being so patient. And don’t think I didn’t miss his heavy implication of, “we can just stay in bed the rest of the time ;)).”

- Soooo much Eddie on my screen THANK GOD. 💕💕💕

- Sooo much Buck and Eddie! Together! Being friends and helping each other out in parenting!!!

- Hen being one hell of a captain. 💕

- All three parents - Eddie, Buck, and Shannon - sitting in the same spot on Chris’s bed. 🫠

- I’d been wondering for so long about Chris’s thoughts about Shannon. So he did recognize that she left. Based on him reading the letter and standing the picture back up, I’m guessing…. he’s at peace now about his mom? Or getting there??

- Honestly I loved the hot tub 911 call where Eddie was so compassionate about calming down the woman. It was a funny scene, but not cringey. Ryan and the actress played it with such sincerity that it worked. 

- This episode was definitely a good intro for new viewers. It shows the Buckley-Diaz family of it all, Buck and Eddie with a very close friendship, Hen in a captain role, Chimney and Maddie and their upcoming marriage talk, Shannon and who she is to Eddie and Chris, Buck is single, Eddie is dating but you really don’t need to know more about the who fghjhkb, and how close the 118 are. 

- There were quite a few callbacks to episodes in seasons 2 and 3, which was so neat to see. 

- Shirtless Eddie….  🫠 Buck saw it too mmmmm.  🫠 - Maddie and Chimney were so cute. =)))

- This whole pirates or whatever they are taking over the cruise ship story is fun! Can’t wait to see how it continues to play out.  - Eddie is a nester. Hmmmm. And Buck pointing out - something about he and Shannon barely dating before she got pregnant and boom! Marriage.

- Buck and Eddie being battle boyfriends. 😌💕

I think I got everything haha. Again, what a great start to the new season! I'm feeling good about what's to come. =D

kiss him once for me by 42hrb/ @exhuastedpigeon (S7E5 Spec, Jealous Eddie | <1K | General): Eddie was perfectly happy and accepting about Buck’s sexuality, in fact, he liked to think he was the ideal picture of a best friend when Buck had told him. So, nothing changed between them. Or at least, nothing changed until he sees Buck and Tommy kiss.

when we're barely awake in the heat of the day's weight by trysetmeonfire/ @try-set-me-on-fire (BuckTommy | 1K | Mature): Buck wakes up at Tommy’s place and they have a conversation about taking up space

like an empty bottle takes the rain by glorious_spoon/ @glorious-spoon (Post-S7E4, Sexuality Crisis | 1,2K | General): "I was wondering. You and Tommy—how did you know?" There's a soft intake of breath. "That I was into guys? Or that I was into him?" "Either." Eddie shrugs tightly. "Both."

Yes, Daddy by Tizniz/ @tizniz (PWP, Daddy Kink | 1,7K | Explicit): And really, the shit eating smirk that graces Buck’s too pink lips should have been Eddie’s warning. But he’s so used to his best friend’s antics that he’s become immune to them. Or, well he thought he had. “Yes, Daddy.”

don't stand a ghost of a chance (with you) by extasiswings/ @extasiswings (Post-S7E5, BuckTommy Breakup | 1,7K | Teen): Tommy isn’t stupid. He knows the score from the beginning. But. He’s only so strong. And Evan is both hot as hell and supremely adorable. So Tommy kisses him, and asks him out, and tells himself that maybe he’s just been reading the signs wrong. Maybe Evan and Eddie really are just…very…close friends. He’s imagining things. They’re friends—or maybe Evan has a crush—but that’s fine. Evan asked Tommy out. So Eddie is…a nonissue.

His words were soft, and gentle – genuine, even. As though he really meant it. Buck was baffled, frankly. “I handled that with as much grace as an elephant doing ballet,” Buck glared at his - his date? - incredulously. “Tommy, did you hit your head? Are you concussed? Do I need to take you to the emergency room?” or, after the eddie shaped hiccup of their first date, buck and tommy walk and talk - about coming out and why buck deserves a nice boyfriend.

good luck, babe by hattalove/ @hattalove (Outsider POV, Social Media fic, S7E5, BuckTommy Date | 2K | Teen): sometimes, when you've had a bad week, all you want is a romantic evening out with your wife over terrible pizza, and what you get instead is some kind of intricate gay ritual happening two tables away from you.

behaving myself. by dylaesthetics (Secret Relationship | 3K | Teen): OR it’s just a regular day at fire station one-eighteen. No one’s acting weird. Nothing’s out of the ordinary. Everything's the same as it's always been. Right?

even for a phoenix (i’m getting tired) by hobbitprincess (Post-S5E18, Hurt Buck | 3K | Mature) : “You’re gonna be fine,” says Eddie again, and Buck hates that he can parse out the slight waver that wasn’t there the first time.

This Old Love Has Me Bound by allyasavedtheday/ @littlespoonevan (Post-S7E4 | 3K | Teen): In an attempt to better understand his newfound bisexuality, Buck tries to figure out if he ever missed any signs with guys before. The universe keeps interrupting every time he's about to think about Eddie.

so much to say that's subject-sore by hattalove/ @hattalove (BuckTommy, Buddie Endgame | 3K | Teen): in which buck is convinced he's having commitment issues, tommy is there to hold his hand, and the tiramisu won't eat itself.

I get drunk on jealousy by heartbeatdiaz/ @loserdiaz (FWB BuckTommy, Endgame Buddie | 5K | Explicit): Eddie calls Buck in the middle of the night at a not so covenient time, words are said, feelings are revealed and Buck's strenght is tested.

shoot another shot (try to stop the feeling) by withmeornotatall/ @chronicowboy (Bachelor Party Spec, BuckTommy, Endgame Buddie | 5K | General): "He just. He won't let me in, Tommy. It's terrifying. I don't know how to help him because he's refusing to even admit there's something wrong." Buck scrubs a hand down his face. "I'm not crazy, am I? I'm not making things up? He's not himself, right?" (OR: eddie gets drunk and cuts a little too loose, buck tries to pick up the pieces and ends up getting more than he bargained for, and tommy is just happy he got to be with buck at least for a little while)

Threes Not A Crowd by Tizniz/ @tizniz (Buck/Tommy/Eddie, PWP | 5K | Explicit): Follow up to Buck's Boyfriends in which Buck's boyfriends take care of him. Incredibly well. (Part 2 of Buck's Boyfriends)

🔥 To Build A Nest (To Build A Home) by Kwills91/ @kwills91 (Post-S5E14, Getting Together | 9K | Teen): Five times Buck shows his love for Eddie via pebbling and the one time Eddie uses those pebbles to build a nest.

don't go breaking my heart. by dylaesthetics (S7E6 Spec, Madney Wedding, Getting Together | 13K | Teen): Coming to terms with being bisexual and being in love with his best friend is not how Buck expected to spend the month or so leading up to his sister’s wedding. But then again, life has shown time and time again that he has been put on this planet to suffer. - OR Buck can’t take it anymore and kisses Eddie in the middle of his sister’s wedding reception. He’s never been known for making good decisions. (Part 2 of heaven is you.)

[Podfic] Someone Told Me Not to Cry (It's a Lie) (20-30min | Teen): Eddie's fine, he is. Really. He keeps telling himself that until he accidentally calls Buck in the middle of the night after a nightmare.

[Podfic] Just Bros being Bros (45-60min | Teen): It's totally normal to kiss your best friend on the cheek. Eddie has no idea why everyone keeps giving him looks and thinking there's more there.

[Podfic] I was Sinking (Somehow I Forgot) (45-60min | Teen): Eddie tries to figure out just what he may or may not be feeling for Buck. Really, it only leaves him with more questions than any actual answers. His mind keeps twisting around, unable to let him settle with any certainty.

[Podfic] Ready to Suffer, Ready to Hope (S3E18 | 45-60min | Teen): Buck's the one hurting this time, and Eddie wants to help, but he's not sure how, or if he even can. Maybe, he was wrong before. Maybe everyone was. Because clearly, Buck's not as over Abby as everyone seemed to think.

[Podfic] Hard to Learn to Love (45-60min | Teen): Buck's helping Eddie fix Abuela's porch. Eddie's pretty sure he's possibly going to do something stupid, because he can't stop thinking about how much he wants to kiss his best friend.

[Podfic] Someday (Gonna be Free) (45-60min | Teen): Karen points out to Eddie that maybe, his ideas of what a relationship has to look like are something he needs to reassess. She lends him a book, and before Eddie knows it, he's having one epiphany after another.

He's frustrated, angry, scared even - and worried about so much at once he can't relax. It's not only leaving Eddie on edge, but Buck seems more and more tense, too.

[Podfic] Hello My Old Heart (1-1.5h | Teen): Eddie needs to check his parents have left - and either way, there's a lot he needs to work through about their visit. Good thing he has family, friends, and Buck to help him figure it all out. And maybe, it's time for him to start showing his hand more, with them all.

[Podfic] Unlearning Lonely After So Long (1-1.5h | Teen): It's the next morning, Buck's still there and making breakfast, and Eddie's realizing that while yeah, the list of things he needs to talk about - with Buck and others - definitely doesn't fill him with anything close to happiness, the rest of it? It's a kind of happiness he hasn't felt in a while.

[Podfic] The More Things Stay the Same (Getting Together | 30-45min | Teen): Eddie's realizing that, now that he's dating Buck, it's not that much different from before, really - except for the increased touching and kissing.

Re-Read

🔥 Ace of Hearts by glorious_spoon/ @glorious-spoon (Post-S6, Getting Together | 9K | Teen): "I've been wondering…" Maddie pauses, watches Buck make a face like he's bracing to be smacked. "What happened with Eddie? You two were dancing around it for so long, and then… what, it just didn't work out? Was the date really that bad?" She's expecting another wince, or even for him to duck out of the conversation entirely, but instead Buck is staring at her like she's grown a second head. "Maddie. I've never been on a date with Eddie." Or: the poker game was a date. It takes Buck a while to catch on, though.

🔥 all good things come to an end (but it's not the end) by wafflesofdoom/ @capseycartwright (Pre-S4, Quarantine, Friends with Benefits | 10K | Explicit): “Okay, hear me out,” Buck said. "What if we have sex?” Eddie could be forgiven for choking on his own breath, given how out of the blue Buck's suggestion was. “What?” “You’re my best friend," Buck gestured vaguely. "And in case you hadn’t noticed, we’re living through an actual plague right now, so neither of us is actually getting any. So who better to have sex with than each other?" - or, craving intimacy during quarantine, buck and eddie strike up a friends with benefits situation. because it couldn't possibly go wrong.

[un-namedfan]

But what if Chris just breaks? He just sobs over Buck's body, and no one knows what to do?

And a nurse whispers to Eddie, "Is that his son?"

And Eddie just nods. Because, yes, that is Buck's son. The Diaz boys are his found family, and it's in that moment that Eddie realizes his feelings for Buck just might run a little deeper than friendship.

I think he'll have discussions with various people about this feeling. Not necessarily saying that it's Buck, but he'll definitely want opinions.

Maybe that leads to these "dates."

Also, remember in Season 2 when that girl got her head stuck in the tailpipe and all the girls thought Buck and Eddie were hot?

Eddie said that they weren't his type. Honestly, I get it. They were clearly way too immature for him, but also, he could have said, "sorry, I'm married."

But he didn't.

And sure, maybe he didn't want people to know, but it would definitely be a valid excuse.

Also, Eddie mentions in one episode (it's late, and I can't remember when, lol) something about how he wasn't ready to get married or have a kid. He was in the military, and we don't know for how long, but I can totally see Eddie's dad saying that you marry someone if they get pregnant. Period.

We've heard references from Eddie that his dad was always saying things like, "Man up!" Or "don't be too soft."

A kid living with this his entire life would naturally want a job where he would both 1, seem manly and tough, and 2, create a safe distance between them. His dad wasn't around much so in Eddie's mind, being a "man" means having a wife, having kids, owning a house, and ultimately working your life away for those things.

I can't imagine how scared little Eddie might have felt knowing he was attracted to both men and women. Knowing he actually enjoyed cooking. Playing video games. Watching Soap Operas.

All of those things he does now.

And isn't it odd we barely saw Eddie kiss Shannon or Ana? He didn't even kiss Shannon or hold her when she died. He was upset, absolutely. I do believe he loved her. But he wasn't in love with her. He tries to make it work for Chris and the potential new baby.

Then there's Buck.

Who I honestly believe is Pansexual. Falling for the person is so Buck it's unreal. Notice he doesn't really approach Taylor in a flirtatious way until he believes she withheld the information about Bobby. As soon as he realized it wasn't her choice and she would have ran it, he shuts down pretty quick.

He clearly finds Eddie attractive. He basically said so when Maddie thought Chimney was cute, and Buck assumed she meant Eddie.

Then there's also that poker night with Maddie, Josh, Chimney, and Buck. Josh mentions that he thought Maddie was trying to set him up with Buck. Buck never says anything to have us believe that he wouldn't date a man. And Josh is an out gay man. Gay men know... they just do.

There's the situation where Buck loses Chris during the tsunami, and he's so upset. Not just because he lost Chris but also because he fears that Eddie will hate him. Buck calls Maddie absolutely devastated because he can't tell Eddie that he failed. And I think that this is an important moment becausee Buck has done things to upset multiple people, and he has never been afraid of the consequences. Only when it comes to Eddie does he panic.

I honestly don't know where I was going with this but in all seriousness, if they weren't always going for Buddie to happen in canon, they've been making some really crazy decisions when writing and filming. Like, I've watched a lot of shows that have close guy friends and their relationship dynamic is just completely fucking different than what 911 is doing.

So, take your own advice 911 writers, and man the hell up!

Give us Buddie or stop writing a fanfic slowburn. Your stan is showing.

[strangerhottotties]

Hi. If you are accepting requests, could you write a Eddie one where you are Dustin cheerleader sister who also play D&D and have a secret crush on Eddie and no one knows besides your friend Chrissy (let's pretend that she still alive ans season 4 events never happened) and when Dustin and Mike needs someone to replace Lucas, your brother finds you talking to Chrissy and asks you to replace him and she knowing about your crush on Eddie,helps you find a excuse to miss the match to be on Hellfire as a favour to your brother. While Eddie is surprised to see that you are the person who will replace Lucas in the campaign since he didn't know you played D&D and soon after,asks you to talk to you where he assumes he has something for you and asks you on a date, much to Dustin's delight since he knows of your crush on his friend and his friend crush on you and wants his favorite people (after Steve) be together

Warnings: TW: Dustin jokes once about killing himself. Reader threats to kill Dustin on several occasions. This is mostly flirting, fluff and pining. I hope you enjoy.

A/N: Thank you for the ask, sorry it's taken me a hot minute to actually reply to this. But I'm absolutely NOT going to rush any of my requests. Firstly, I love that you guys enjoy my writing enough to request anything, so I love requests! I just want to make sure I'm satisfied with the quality. Secondly, I'm really trying not to burn myself out. So, thank you for being patient with me, darling. MWAH! I totally adjusted the end just a little bit. So I'm sorry but most of it is true to the request.

Post A/N: OH MY GOD I RANDOMLY FOUND THIS IN THE BOTTOM OF MY DRAFTS AND IT ACTUALLY SAVED! I THOUGHT IT LOST!

The most horrifying thing Dustin had ever spoken was after the very first day of his freshman year nearly made you crash your car. Your tires had squealed when you hit the brakes. "DUDE! WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU!" He'd shouted after getting yanked against his seatbelt. His other words like a black hole in your head.

I made a new friend today! He's a senior who's, like the coolest dude ever! He offered to let us join his D'n'D club, you should join too!

"You're friends with Eddie Munson?" You demand.

"Yeah, you know him?"

"Uh, yeah, yeah," you offer before focusing back on the road and proceed to drive again.

"I'm surprised you're not in Hellfire. It's a D'n'D club!"

"Uh, yeah, I'm okay," you offer meekly. Dustin's eyebrows furrow in confusion.

"I don't get it, what's everyone got against Eddie?"

You take a deep breath. "Dustin, do you remember how when we were kids, we'd play the secret game?"

"Take it to the grave?"

"Yep," you reply. "Do you want to play?" You watch his eyes light up and he twists to stare at you. Always eager for juicy gossip.

"Yeah, yeah!" He leans forward eagerly. "What is it?" You bite your lip.

"Eddie Munson... is the guy I've got a crush on." His jaw drops wide open.

"EDDIE IS 'THE GUY'!?" He shrieks. "Eddie is the guy that sits in front of you in Mrs. O'Donnel's class? The one that you always say would never give you a second look?"

"Yep."

"THEN YOU GOTTA JOIN HELLFIRE TOO!"

"NO WAY! AND YOU SWORE! IF I FIND OUT YOU TALKED TO HIM ABOUT ME, I WILL CRASH THIS CAR INTO A TREE AT FULL SPEED WITH YOU IN IT!"

Dustin dropped it. To the grave meant something genuinely. But he hated being stuck in the middle. Especially when less than a week later he had almost an identical conversation with Eddie.

His bag had been jerked off his shoulder by some asshole on the football team. The papers went fly when his broken zipper split. Eddie was nearby and nearly got into a fist fight over it, which Dustin was definitely going to fill you in on later. When the jocks finally stomped off, Eddie squatted down to help him collect his papers.

"Damn, these are killer marks, Dustin!" Eddie congratulates him while patting his back.

"Oh yeah, huge nerd, ya know." Then Eddie's face sobers.

"Wait," he grunts as holds up a finger.

"Yeah, what's up."

"What's this?" He demands, pointing at Dustin's messy writing at the top. His full name. "Henderson? Are you related-"

"Yep. Yeah. Mhmm," the kid folds under the intensity of Eddie's gaze. "The cheer captain, valedictorian would in fact be my sister, yes." Eddie takes a deep breath to steady himself.

"The Queen of Cheer is your older sister?" Dustin wants to beat his head against the wall. It was the topic of conversation at the Hellfire meeting twenty minutes later. Dustin was drowned in the guys all drooling over you. Something he was used to, at this point. And then Gareth says something that has Eddie's eyes widening.

"Dustin, who would have the best chance at scoring a date with her." Dustin drops his jaw wide open to stare at Keith. Then he begins to laugh nervously.

"Definitely me," Lucas smugly answers, mostly joking.

"No way," Mike scoffs back, "not one of us has a chance. Especially not you!"

"Yep, no one. Definitely no one." Every head swivels at his poor lying. Mike stares at him in disbelief.

"No way!"

"What! I didn't-"

"Does she have a crush on someone!?" Mike demands, shoving Dustin.

"I TOOK IT TO THE GRAVE!" Uproar erupts among the table. Everyone sitting forward. Will, Mike and Lucas all groaning with frustration.

"What does that mean!?" Gareth demands.

"It means his sister swore him to secrecy and he won't peep."

"Believe me! I want to! It's so stupid but she told me last week! If you got to me before she almost crashed the car because I mentioned the guy, I could have told you!" Everyone is on the edge of their seats with this.

"C'mon, what can you tell us," Eddie presses with the most charm he can muster despite the situation.

"No way, no. I'm not allowed to talk to you guys about her. She forbids it!" Eddie stands and makes his way around to the kid.

"Talking to us about her? Dustin, do you have dirt on your sister?" Dustin remains quiet, wildly uncomfortable about being put on the spot. "Henderson," Eddie coos, "you're not corrupted into doing the bidding of your older sister are you?"

"Of course not! But there are lines I won't cross!"

"There's got to be a degree of loyalty to your friends. Aren't you loyal to Hellfire?"

"Yes! Yes! Of course, I am!"

"Then tell us something about your sister." Dustin squeezes his eyes shut as Eddie rests his weight across the back of his shoulders.

"The guy she likes," Dustin starts and everyone sits forward in eager curiousity, "he... he..." He desperately tries to recall some bit of information he can spare. "Look, can it be any information or..."

"You know what, sure, kid," Eddie offers, with a wet willie. Dustin shutters in disgust and wipes at his ear quickly.

"Fine, I tried to set her up with Steve Harrington multiple times... but she's always refused because she has a huge crush on someone else..." Eddie grins down at him proudly.

"There you go, was that so hard." Dustin sinks down in his seat and passes Lucas a miserable look. Feeling horrible for outing you like that.

"Don't let him get to you," Gareth grunts out, unimpressed with Eddie. "He just has a huge crush on her and never shuts up about her."

Eddie twists to fix his friend with a horrified look and then Dustin rolls his eyes and groans. "Henderson, you tell her, and I'll make every campaign Hell for the rest of the year."

"You've gotta be kidding me," Dustin grumbles to himself.

Your name being called is what drags you away from conversation with Chrissy. You glance up to see Dustin jogging across the parking lot for your car. "Hey," you offer him.

"Hey, Chrissy," your brother offers with a smile. She gives him a warm one back.

"Hey, Dustin."

"What are you up to? Don't you have class?"

"I gotta ask you a favor," Dustin replies.

"Shoot."

"Lucas is bailing on D'n'D tonight for the game and it's the end of the campaign. Eddie's gonna drill us. We need another body for the party, please, please, please. You have to be there tonight. I can't find anyone else, and Eddie won't reschedule."

"Oh, oh, oh, you have to go!" Chrissy urges as dread sinks in your belly.

"Chris! We're supposed to be at the game tonight! How am I, cheer captain, going to skip our biggest game of the season!?"

"She'll do it!" Chrissy insists. "I'll cover for you at the game!" She squeezes your side and leans in to whisper. "Go get you some Munson." You flush deeply. "Okay, Okay, but Lucas is a ranger, right? I'm a mage, is that really a good idea."

"Please, Eddie is a tyrant as DM." You take a deep breath and sigh.

"I'll meet you after school, but you so owe me."

"YES! THANK YOU!" And with that he throws into a hug.

The drama room quiets as your shoes squeak to a stop. "You made it!" Dustin calls.

"What is this?" Eddie laughs like it's some big joke. You take a deep breath to steel yourself against the emotions that swell at the fact that Eddie Munson was speaking to you. You were in the same room as him, and he was acknowledging your existence like you imagined daily. Like you always willed him to turn around in class and give you a flirty smile. It never happened.

"I found a sub for Lucas."

"I'm missing the game for this," you reply to Eddie a lot smoother than you expect. Your voice even, steady. Eddie rises from his throne and move towards you, head tilting at you.

"Oh, and the Queen of Cheer knows about d'n'd?"

"You're looking at a level seventeen mage," you respond. Eddie's face flashes briefly with shock.

"There's no way."

"Want to see my score sheet?" You hold out your hand as Dustin digs through a folder he kept. "I haven't played in a while, but I know what I'm doing." Dustin passes you the sheet, grinning widely. When you look over at him, he winks and you want to strangle him.

Eddie hums quietly as he glances over the sheet. His eyes meet yours and your heart flutters in your chest. "Well, do you want me to play?" You demand, voice softening more than you mean it to.

Eddie steps into your space, a lazy smile crossing his lips. "If you want me to play with you," your eyes widen at his words and you can feel the warmth of your cheeks turn to burning, "you'll have to say 'please', princess." He's so close you can smell the smoke and his shampoo. It's hard not to take innuendo away from what he just said.

Why, oh why, did you have such a crippling crush on such a prick. You send a hard look down on to your brother, something promising a vicious response.

When you turn yourself back onto Eddie, he's patiently waiting. You take in another deep breath, inhaling the earthy smell of him before you fix him with your 'siren' eyes as Chrissy called them. Your half-lidded smile in response to Eddie has his breath hitching. Eddie was unaware of your competitiveness that would often draw out your feral side. Only you were consciously vicious.

You'd play his game. But you don't think he's prepared for it. You press yourself close, pressing your breasts into his chest. Your mouth hovers close to his ear.

"Oh, Eddie," you breathe for him, "won't you please let me play with you and your friends?"

"That's underhanded," he murmurs back.

"Thought you were supposed to bring the fire, or is the throne for show?" You taunt. He takes in the dark grin you're giving him. It's surprises you how easy it is to flirt with him. He gives you a breathy laugh. It might be nervousness but when he pins you with a dark gaze, you know it's just fueling something.

"Fine. You can join. But I'm gunnin' for you, sweetheart."

"I'm so scared. Now, aren't you going to pull out a chair for the queen?" Dustin high fives you below the table when a folding chair is tucked in for you.

"Thank you," he murmurs.

"My services aren't free, Dusty."

"Oh, I think you'll like my repayment."

The laughter and cheers fill the room still. If you hadn't rolled nat twenty with that last roll there wouldn't be so much thrill in the boys around you hooting and hollering. It was a fun campaign, certainly grueling, and it reminded you of when you'd gotten Dustin into it. Before you'd even moved to Hawkins. The hype was what you'd always loved about Cheer.

Somehow this was better though. Everyone shouting and laughing as they packed up their things. "Hey, Eddie," Dustin calls as Eddie is about to slip out the door. He says it at the same time as he grabs your wrist to stop you. "Come here a sec."

"What's up, little Henderson?" You frown in confusion as Dustin plucks the keys out of your hand.

"I'm gonna leave in a second," Dustin encourages as Eddie rakes his eyes over you quickly.

"Um... okay?" Eddie offers.

"And I know I said to the grave," your eyes widen and you snap fully towards him.

"Don't you dare."

"My sister has had a crush on you for like four years." Eddie's head swivels back to you.

"To the grave you're going."

"Shut up, if I have to spend one more lunch period with him staring at you across the cafeteria and talking about how pretty you are, I'm going to kill myself." You flush deeply and now you both watch each other quietly.

Dustin grins proudly. "Okay then, I'll be in the car." And with that, your brother skips out of the Drama room. Eddie and you evaluate each other quietly.

"So you enjoyed that little tease at first, didn't you?" Eddie grins, letting his bag slip from his shoulder to the floor. You flush.

"Take me on a date and I might tell you," you whisper quietly. Eddie grins at you, stepping back into his face.

"I didn't know you were a devil worshipping nerd before tonight, might have changed my opinion of you," he teases. You start to feel the bite of rejection until he suddenly walking you back onto the table. "How does Saturday sound?"

You lick your lips and nod at him, too emotionally fried to put up a fight like you did earlier. "Yeah, I'd like that." Now that your perched on the edge of the table he just gives you a cocky grin. The lingering silence making you nervous. "Are you gonna stand there and stare or are you going to kiss me?" You demand quietly.

Eddie gives you a mean little laugh and leans in really close. "Good girls wait until the end of a date." You flush and a pout of sorts settles across your face.

"I'm not as good as you think," you encourage. Eddie gives you a shaky breath and then explains it very gently. Butterflies erupting in your stomach.

"The only reason I have to say no is because I'm worried that...," he swallows and tucks hair behind one of your ears. "If I kiss you now, I don't know that I'll be able to stop. Dustin might be in your car for a while." It has you sucking a breath in and your gaze softens on him.

"Saturday then," you agree.

"Saturday," Eddie agrees with stunning smile. You reach forward, feeling emboldened by him. Eddie's breath stutters as you snatch his belt buckle and jerk him closer. You push up onto your toes, lips brushing his cheek. You grin when you lean back and see the pink tint of your lips left behind. He's none the wiser.

"See you," you offer him prior to slipping past him and you pause in the hall. His cheeks are red from the stunt you just pulled. You send him one last smile and slip out the door.

Chapter 23: The Morning After Escape

With everyone safely out of the Upside Down, Steve wants to get as far away from that portal as possible. He will never forget the feeling of the tendril around his leg or how it yanked him through as he was helpless to stop it.

However, they’re also a group of nine and one of them is wanted for murder and four just escaped the police. So, he settles for moving to Max’s trailer before the sun will start to come up, knowing her mother isn’t home.

Most are still focused on Nancy, but his three friends keep an eye on him as he assures them all he’s fine, despite how his sides burn.

Since Nancy is too shaken up right now, Steve slips into her role as leader. With hands on his hips he tells the group: “We need sleep right now. I’m taking first watch, everyone else get rest. We’re going to need it. Let’s regroup in the morning.”

Fortunately, the past 24 hours have been eventful enough that no one protests or tries to fight him on it. Instead, they all find a place to get comfortable and collapse.

Robin is the only one, who hesitates for a moment. She points to him and frowns: “Are you going to clean those wounds? You know I don’t do well with blood or I’d tie you down, so you better do it yourself or some shit. Because blood poisoning is a real thing and once it starts, the only way out is to cut off a limb before it hits your organs.”

“Positive as always, Robbie,” he rolls his eyes, but he knows she’s right, even if he isn’t looking forwards to it.

“Just promise me, Steve.” The fact that she uses his name, shows how serious she is about it and Steve feels his hackles soften.

He gives her an encouraging smile and nods: “Promise.”

“Good,” she nods decisively, before also finding a spot.

Steve follows her with his eyes, getting the bajesus scared out of him when there’s a sudden hand on his shoulder. He practically jumps in the air and is only soothed by Eddie saying: “Calm down, sweetheart, calm down. It’s just me.”

“Fucking hell, man, don’t scare me like that,” Steve exclaims, clutching his heart as the rate finally goes down again.

“I’m sorry,” Eddie says, looking genuinely apologetic. “I just wanted to offer some help. I’m somewhat of a nurse myself.”

“You are?” Steve asks, sounding a little surprised.

“Don’t look so shocked, Stevie,” Eddie grins. “We don’t have healthcare, if I had to go to the hospital for every bump and scrape, we’d be bankrupt. Same goes for uncle Wayne. Now come on and let me patch you up.”

Steve doesn’t know what to respond to that, so he lets Eddie pull him along to the bathroom and direct him to sit down on the closed toilet.

Now that he’s sitting, he can feel the utter exhaustion that is wrapping around his bones, making them feel heavy. So, he just sits and watches Eddie rummage through the Mayfield cupboards until he pulls out a first aid kit triumphantly.

“Alright, Stevie, I’m going to need you to strip,” he grins that wide dimpled grin and Steve can feel his brain exploding a little at the words.

He doesn’t know what his face does, but it must be embarrassing with how hot his cheeks fill and how Eddie bursts out laughing. Eddie says: “Don’t worry, sweetheart, I’m not going to take your virtue from you.”

Steve quells down all the disappointed feelings that bubble up in his chest, because he wants Eddie to take his virtue from him, but here Eddie is again, reminding him that even though he could be, he’s not interested in Steve. Which is fine. Totally fine.

“Yeah, yeah,” he rolls his eyes playfully instead, before he shrugs off Eddie’s vest, sad to have to part with it, though he can’t think about that for too long. At the movement pain shoots through him and he hisses.

Eddie pulls a sympathetic face as he takes the vest and softly coos: “It’s okay, just let it out.”

“I can’t,” Steve lets him know through gritted teeth, trying to keep the noises of hurt behind closed teeth as he comes down from the movement.

“Why not?” Eddie frowns.

“Don’t need the wake anyone up with the sound of me screaming,” Steve tells him. “You can imagine how – seeing the circumstances – that wouldn’t be pleasant for anyone.”

“Ah, yeah, no, yeah, you’re right,” Eddie nods, before rubbing the back of his head. He looks around and says: “I don’t know how you’re going to be quiet though. Disinfecting those wounds is going to hurt like a bitch.”

And Steve hadn’t thought of that, but he knows he’s not going to let any of the kids hear him in pain or worry Robin more than she already is. So he looks around, before plucking the handkerchief out of Eddie’s pocket and holding it up: “Not the most clean, but it’ll do.”

“Wha- What are you doing?” Eddie squeaks and Steve can’t figure out why he looks kind of panicked and flushed.

“I, uhm- I was going to bite down on it so I don’t scream,” he offers. “Sorry, is it sentimental or something?” he asks as he holds it up so Eddie can take it back.

“No, no, no, it’s fine. Very fine. Just, uh- just startled me for a second,” Eddie says with a very unconvincing grin.

Steve is willing to ignore it though, too tired to try and figure out why Eddie is acting weird. So, he just folds the handkerchief to be able to bite down better on it. It’s not the most sanitary thing ever, but right now, Steve is beyond caring.

Eddie meanwhile has been getting stuff ready to patch Steve up. Once he’s done, he seems back to normal again. Without much preamble, he gets on his knees in front of Steve and asks: “Are you ready?”

Steve has about a hundred filthy thoughts running through his mind and a dozen crises, but he ignores them all and distracts himself by nodding as he quickly stuffs the handkerchief in his mouth.

“Okay, tap me if you need to stop, I’m serious, Stevie,” Eddie tells him, looking intently into his eyes.

Steve swallows thickly, drowning in their intensity, but managing a nod that has a smile breaking out on Eddie’s face again. His heart flips and he wonders how he’s going to make it through this in one piece.

All thoughts fly out of his mind when Eddie starts unraveling the makeshift bandages. The dried blood has stuck them to him and it hurts, especially at the parts where Eddie has to rip them off of him.

If it weren’t for the handkerchief, Steve would've broken a tooth, he’s sure of it. Tears spring to his eyes and his fists clench, leaving moon-crescent indents on his palms.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Eddie keeps whispering softly and it sounds like it hurts him to do this as well.

Some of the wounds have started bleeding again and Eddie makes a displeased face as he grabs a towel to press against them as he tries to open the disinfectant with his other hand.

After a few seconds of watching Eddie struggle with it, Steve holds out his hand and Eddie blushes a bit as he hands it out. He says: “I have to keep pressure on it. Don’t want you to bleed out. Though it luckily isn’t bleeding that bad.”

Silver linings, Steve thinks as he uncaps the disinfectant and gives it back to Eddie.

Eddie pours it out over some toilet paper, commenting: “Like something else would be better, but we have what we have. Now hang on, sweetheart, this is going to sting.”

That’s all the warning Steve gets, before the pressure is removed from his side and a burning sensation radiates as Eddie cleans them. He’s unable to be completely quiet, small hurt noises still making it past the handkerchief in a way that would be embarrassing if there was room for anything beyond the pain.

“You’re okay, you’re okay, I got you, just ride it out. I’m here. You’re okay, sweetheart, you doing good. Hang in there a little more. Almost done, baby. Almost done,” Eddie keeps up a stream of reassurances that surely will make a return in Steve’s daydreams once his body stops feeling like it’s bursting at the seams.

“The Mayfields don’t have anything for stitches, so you’re lucking out and we’re using medical tape,” Eddie tells him and he’s glad Eddie is keeping him in the loop and not surprising him, even if he’s too out of it to respond.

“I’m just gonna go on and get it over with. Tap me if you need a breather,” Eddie reminds him, waiting until Steve nods, before taking the open skin and trying to tape the two side back together again, like there aren’t chunks missing.

“Holy shit, dude, how did you not kneel over,” Eddie says, partially to himself as he gets to a particularly nasty one.

Steve knows he doesn’t expect a response, so he just focuses on staying conscious and hopes Eddie will start comforting him again. His voice is a lifeline throughout all this and he needs it if he wants to make it through.

As if he can read his mind, Eddie starts murmuring praises and soothing him again. Softly cooing about how well Steve is doing and how close to done they are.

Swiftly Eddie moves between taping him back together to taping the gauze over, before wrapping actual bandages around Steve’s torso. To do the last part, he has to lean in close. Steve is almost glad that the pain has wiped him out, so he doesn’t do something embarrassing like pop a boner right in Eddie’s face.

“Tadaa, all done,” Eddie exclaims with a pleased grin after he’s tied off the bandage, leaning back on his knees as he takes in his handy work.

Steve is sure that if they stay in this position for too long, he might do something to fuck up their friendship. So, he spits out the handkerchief and clears his throat, before tightly smiling: “Ah, thanks, man. I- I should go actually hold watch now. But thanks, really.”

Eddie raises brow at him and Steve feels himself shrink under his gaze. He feels exhausted and wrung out. He’s hurt and he doesn’t want to deal with the wilting feeling in his chest right now, thank you very much.

“You, mister,” Eddie starts, “are going to sleep. You need the rest, man. I can hold watch and I’ll wake you when I get tired.”

With the offer on the table, Steve must admit he is very tempted. But he hasn’t had a nightmare yet and he isn’t willing to break his streak. Stubbornly he shakes his head and says: “I can do it,” an argument that is undermined with a yawn.

“Sure, you can,” Eddie smiles, before patting his thigh a little condescendingly, “but you’re not going to.” With that he gets up, knees cracking, then stops. He frowns and exclaims: “Dude, your back is all fucked up, why didn’t you say?”

“Oh,” Steve says, blinking heavily. “I uh- I kind of forgot about it.”

“How did that even happen?” Eddie asks as he leans in to inspect the wounds.

“I got dragged over the ground,” Steve admits.

Eddie hisses in sympathy. “That’s some nasty road rash. Not too deep though, which is good, but it still need to be cleaned up. Gimme the disinfectant and toilet roll.”

Deciding it’s useless to argue, Steve hands the requested items over without much preamble, only really regretting it when Eddie stands between his legs and guides his head to lean against his stomach, so Eddie can reach his back.

He’s aware of how warm Eddie is and without the handkerchief, he has to bite down on Eddie’s shirt to stay quiet. Tears roll down his face at the sting and he clutches Eddie’s belt to stay grounded.

“Now we’re all done,” Eddie announces, staying close and carding a hand through Steve’s hair again, like he’d done that night Steve threw up after a nightmare.

The act is so comforting and Steve can’t help but melt into it. Everything is catching up with him and he’s already drifting off. He knows he should fight to stay awake, but it’s too hard.

“I got you,” Eddie whispers, before pulling away, luckily not commenting on the pathetic whine Steve lets out.

He supports Steve until he can put him down on a chair. Eddie has brought the vest with him and he gently lays it over Steve as he blanket. Softly, he says: “Just rest, sweetheart.”

“Nuh, have to-” Steve yawns. “Have to stay awake.”

“Don’t worry, baby. I’ll watch over you,” Eddie promises and it’s the last thing Steve remembers before he fades into sleep.

He wakes with a start, heart pounding and sweat cooling on his skin. His breathing is heavy, but he hasn’t screamed and he doesn’t feel the need to throw up. All of which are wins in his books as he scans the room.

Everyone is still asleep, music faintly comes from Chrissy’s and Max’s headphones. The only person, who’s awake is Dustin, who has gotten watch after Eddie apparently. Since the man himself is curled up and fast asleep on the ground next to Steve.

He lets his gaze rest on Eddie’s face for a second, taking in the smoothed out forehead and the peaceful expression that hasn’t been there this past week. Despite wanting to really badly, Steve fights off the urge to tuck a stray strand of hair behind Eddie’s ear and instead gets up to sit down next to Dustin.

“You okay, man?” he asks after a second, nudging Dustin.

“Yeah,” Dustin answers. “Well, no, but considering, yeah. It’s just never dragged out this long and the stakes seem much higher, you know? Max could die. You guys could have died. It really sucked when we got taken and we didn’t know what was happening to you out there.”

The twilight makes it easier to admit, Steve knows, both their faces obscured by the darkness. It also makes it easier for him to wrap an arm around Dustin and pull him to his side. These kids are truly just that. Kids. Hell, even the adults here are kids. Steve doesn’t feel equipped to handle this, he can’t imagine anyone else does either.

Hopper was the only one, who ever seemed in control and Joyce, but neither of them are here right now. Steve is. Eddie might be the eldest, but Steve comes right after and he is the most experienced next to Nancy. He had already realized he would have to step up after Hopper died – something that still sends a twinge through him – but this moment makes it more real.

Dustin is so confident, but he feels small under Steve’s arm. Steve takes a deep breath, then he says: “We’re gonna be okay. Maybe not tomorrow or the day after that, but we’ll make it through. We always do.”

“Maybe,” Dustin replies, not sounding very confident as he huddles closer under Steve’s arm. “But making it through involved loosing Hopper last time. Who are we going to loose now? Max? Eddie? Chrissy?”

“No one if I have anything to say about it,” Steve promises, already knowing he would do anything to keep them alive.

“But you can’t guarantee it,” Dustin says, not to be mean, but because he is scared and upset, and he always pokes holes in everything.

Steve doesn’t blame him for it, but he also hates that he is right. Steve can’t guarantee that they will all make it out. Can’t promise that Eddie, who is now peacefully sleeping will ever get older. Can’t promise that Max, who is now tucked onto a couch next to Lucas won’t be lying next to Billy in a few days. Can’t promise Chrissy, who is being used as a pillow by Robin won’t know what it is like to have all her bones snap.

He just can’t, but he wants to. He wants to be able to ensure that nothing will happen to them. But Dustin is right, as he so often is.

“You’re right,” Steve sighs, because he doesn’t know what else to say. “I can’t guarantee jack shit, but I can promise you that I will try my best. We’re all are going to have to try our best, like we always do. Nothing more to do.”

“I guess not,” Dustin agrees, sounding defeated, which Steve hates.

“Hey, no long face,” he says, nudging Dustin again. “We’re too epic and soon, this will be something we can joke about. You can probably even do science.”

That gets a huffed laugh out of Dustin and Steve can’t help but feel a little victorious about it as Dustin says: “Yeah, probably.”

It’s quiet for a second, then Steve softly says: “Try to sleep a little more. I’ll hold watch.”

“Eddie said not to let you, that you were hurt,” Dustin replies, sounding worried.

And Steve doesn’t know if he feels touched or annoyed that Eddie said that, since he has always tried to keep it from the kids how hurt he is. Steve smiles at Dustin deciding to be a little touched as he says: “Eddie is exaggerating. I feel fine. Don’t worry about me, I haven’t been brought down yet.”

“You sure?” Dustin asks.

“I’m sure,” Steve promises.

“Okay,” Dustin doesn’t sound completely convinced, but makes himself comfortable against Steve anyway, quickly dropping off, exhaustion catching up with him.

So Steve sits there alone in the dark room and keeps watch as he mulls over Dustin’s words. He has never been the planner, but he needs to ensure that the others will be safe. Yet he can’t be everywhere at once.

God, how is he ever going to make sure they’re all making it out? He doesn’t care if he lives or dies, but he can’t rob the others of their future when they’re all so bright and have so much to accomplish and experience.

Worries crawl up his spine and he feels like it is going to swallow him whole. The only thing that keeps him grounded is the rhythmic checking up on everyone, Dustin’s warmth against his side and the soft sound of music and breathing.

Slowly everyone wakes up and gets woken, so they can reconvene in the kitchen to regroup to hear about Nancy’s vision and to make a plan.

What Nancy tells them is horrifying, a dark future that looms over them should they fail. Steve can’t imagine what Hawkins would look like when split open, the Upside Down bleeding into their lives in a way they can’t walk away from. Not only that, but Chrissy and Max would have to be dead for that reality to come to pass.

“We need to call the Byers, see if they have ideas, if El knows anything,” he hears himself say and he knows he has a point, but he knows that deep down inside he hopes Joyce will come take this burden of his shoulders, even if he can’t ask that of her after everything.

But he can’t take it back now, so they dial the number over and over again, getting nothing but a busy line that makes Steve worry more than he is willing to admit, despite the fact they have no time for extra stressors.

Dustin tries to convince them that it must be that Joyce is busy for work with the phone, but Max, like Steve, isn’t convinced. This can’t be coincidence.

“She’s right,” Nancy agrees too. “It can’t be coincidence. It can’t be. Whatever is happening in Lenora is connected to all of this. I’m sure of it. But Vecna can’t hurt them. Not if he’s dead. We have to get back in there. Back to the Upside Down.”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, no no no,” Steve quickly says. He is all for Vecna not hurting anyone, but going back into that hell dimension is just begging to get someone hurt. He can’t let them, he’s putting his foot down.

“Nope,” Eddie is also saying, which Steve appreciates.

However, he knows how stubborn Nancy can get, so he tries to calm her down by saying: “Let’s think this through, okay?”

“What is there to think through?” Nancy exclaims, obviously upset.

“We barely made it out of there in one piece,” Steve replies, because isn’t it obvious? The Upside Down is dangerous.

“Yeah, because we weren’t prepared,” Nancy counters, not willing to back down either. “But this time we will. We’ll get weapons and protection. We’ll go through the gate, we’ll find his lair, and we’ll kill him,” she lists as if it will be that easy.

“Or he’ll kill us,” Steve argues. “The only reason you survived is because he wanted you to. He’s not scared of us.” He gestures to the group around them, all ragtag nerdy kids and teens barely touching adulthood.

Robin gets up from the floor to back him up and he is so grateful for that, because they were beginning to sound like his parents back when they bothered to come home. Steve never wants to feel like his father.

“And for good reason,” she says. “We were wrong about Vecna. Henry. One. Sorry, what are we calling him now?”

Different answers are given and Steve wants to rip his hair out, because that is so not the point right now. He loves Robin, but this is not the most important thing to focus on.

Luckily Robin manages to move on from it and ramble on: “Right. We’ve learned something about Vecna/Henry/One. He’s a number, like Eleven, only a sick, evil, male, child-murdering version of her with really bad skin. But- but- but my point is, he’s super powerful. He could turn us inside out with a snap of his fingers. It’s not a fair fight.”

Steve can totally find himself in Robin’s words. It’s not a fair fight and they shouldn’t have to fight it. And he can see that Robin sends Nancy back to thinking again.

“Then why fight fair?” Dustin suddenly speaks up. “You’re right, he’s like Eleven. But that gives us an upper hand. We know Eleven’s strengths. And weaknesses.”

“Weaknesses?” Erica asks judgmentally and Steve has to agree with her. El is pretty over powered and strong.

But of course Dustin has an answer. “When El remote-travels, she goes into this trance like state. I bet the same is true for Vecna.”

“That would explain what he was doing in that attic,” Lucas says, always the fastest in picking up what Dustin is putting down, like nerd on nerd communication.

“Exactly,” Dustin replies excited. “When he attacks his next victim, I’ll bet you he’s back in that attic, physical body defenseless.”

And in that moment, Steve knows he will be loosing this fight and that they’re going back in there, but he still has to try. So he snaps: “Defenseless? What about the army of bats?” as he points to his neck, not yet wanting to pull attention to how chewed he is, in the hope Dustin’s worry from earlier will make him reconsider.

However, no such luck. He only nods, deep in thought before saying: “Right. True. We’ll have to find a way through them. Distract them somehow.”

“And, uh, how do we do that?” Eddie asks, as he starts to get up, only to sit right back down when Dustin tells him he has no idea.

Only those who went down there know how strong these things can be and Steve appreciates him trying to talk sense into Dustin, who just barrels on. They make eyecontact and Eddie looks a little apologetic, obviously wanting to have Steve’s back, but failing under Dustin, who has set his mind to something. Steve gives him a small smile to show he gets it that Eddie returns.

Only to be snapped out of staring at Eddie when the rest of the conversation finally registers and he realizes Max is trying to make herself bait.

“Max, you can’t,” Lucas says and Steve wholeheartedly agrees with it.

“Then I can do it,” Chrissy speaks up.

“What? No,” Steve and Robin say almost at the exact same time.

“What do you propose then?” she counters. “Someone has to be bait.”

“That doesn’t mean we have to like it and just let you,” Steve argues, frown deep. He hates that this isn’t a danger he can throw himself in front of. He can’t bear the thought of them getting hurt. None of them.

“It’s too dangerous,” Robin pleads. “You can’t. He’ll kill you.”

“We’ve survived before. We can survive again,” Max backs Chrissy up, because of course she does. Crossing her arms and looking at them defiantly.

“Yeah,” Chrissy crosses her arms too. “I just need to keep him busy long enough so that you guys can get into that attic.”

Max nods and adds: “Then you can chop his head off. Stab him in the heart. Blow him up with some explosive Dustin cooks up. I honestly really don’t care how you put this asshole into his grave. Just whatever it is, whatever you do, try not to miss.”

Everyone is quiet and seemingly accepting it, even if there is pain in their eyes. But Steve isn’t going down just yet. He crosses his arms right back and says: “It’s too dangerous. Are there no alternatives? Are we sure? Robin, you can’t be agreeing here.”

“Of course I don’t like it,” Robin replies, throwing her hands up in the air. “If I could take her place I would.”

“Plus, she’s not the boss of me,” Chrissy says, glaring at Steve. She softens slightly as she adds: “I understand you’re worried, but I want to do this. We know how the stop it. The moment I start floating, someone can put my headphones back on. It’s either me or Max.”

And that is just plain mean, Steve thinks, eyes flitting between Chrissy and Max. He told her how worried he is for Max and how much all the kids mean to him. So he just huffs: “Well, I still don’t like it.”

“I know,” Chrissy smiles sadly, bumping her shoulder against Steve’s.

He gives her a strained smile back, then looks at Max, who says: “If it goes wrong, I’ll take my headphones off and be a distraction for Vecna.”

“Absolutely not. You’re not putting yourself in danger too,” Steve tells her. “But thank you. I trust you to keep an eye on her.”

It’s not much, but it’s enough to get a little smile out of Max, which is a huge win seeing the past few weeks, months honestly.

“Okay, so Max and Chrissy are one team for the distraction,” Nancy takes over again to plan. “Who is going with them. Erica?”

“Alright, I can hold watch,” Erica says, looking unbothered, but Steve can tell she’s happy not to have to go close to the portal. Not that she had to worry, because Steve would have never let her. None of the kids are going near it, if he can help it.

“I’ll also help,” Lucas is quick to interject.

“Yeah, me too,” Robin says.

Nancy, who has been blind to how Chrissy and Robin are dancing around each other, shakes her head and says: “No, Lucas is smart, but we need you on a different team. I say we have a team distracting the bats at the trailer portal and a team going in and then Chrissy as bait at the Creel house.”

“But Lucas alone can’t do make sure both Chrissy and Max are okay,” Robin protests, giving Chrissy anguished eyes.

Steve wants to point out that Max is not going to put herself in danger, but he is here to back Robin up, so he suggests: “It would be smart to have an extra set in hands just in case.”

“Maybe Dustin,” Nancy agrees. “But we need people to go into the Upside Down. And if it’s Chrissy that’s going to be bait, she has both Lucas and Max there, not to mention Erica.”

“I can also do communications,” Erica offers. “This needs to be a coordinated attack.”

“We could use a system of lights and radios,” Dustin suggest.

“That’s smart, you two think about that,” Nancy says, then turns back to Robin and Steve. “It’s better if we go into the Upside Down. We can’t afford to go in a too small group.”

Robin looks at Steve, then at Chrissy, then back at Steve. Like him, she has realized that Nancy is right, but she doesn’t like it in the slightest. Steve can relate. If he hadn’t already set his mind on going into danger, he’d also want to stay with Chrissy, plus he would feel a lot better if he could go alone and everyone would be safe here in Hawkins. Their Hawkins.

“Fine,” she snarls, crossing her arms. “I’ll go bash Vecna’s head in.”

“I’ll go too,” Steve says.

“Me too,” Nancy agrees.

Eddie pipes up: “Is there more room on team kill Vecna? No, what am I saying, course not. I’d be better on team distraction anyway, I’m too loud.”

Steve’s heart breaks a little at the thought that he won’t be able to keep a close eye on Eddie and he seriously considers going back to wage a war for Robin to get to stay behind, but they have to think logically about this. And logically, they can’t go fight Vecna without a distraction.

“I can help Eddie,” Dustin speaks up.

“That can work,” Nancy agrees.

“No,” Steve says. He has already given in too much. Both Nancy and Robin are going into danger with him, Chrissy and Eddie are going to make themselves a target, Max might take a risk too. He’s not letting Dustin go in the Upside Down. No way.

“Steve,” Nancy sighs in that same tone she used to call him an idiot in, like he means well, but just doesn’t get it. A call back to when he followed her blindly and didn’t question her. He wonders if she thinks she can achieve something with that tone.

“I said no, Nance,” two can play that game. “None of them are going in there. He can coordinate with Erica from the trailer, but he’s not setting a foot into the Upside Down.”

“Hey, no fair,” Dustin exclaims.

“Yes fair,” Steve shoots back with a glare that means business. “I am going to go back in there and we’re going to kill Vecna and I can’t do that if I’m worried about whether or not you are okay. You said I can’t make any guarantees and I told you I was going to try, remember?”

“Yeah,” Dustin mumbles, obviously unhappy about where this is going.

“Well, this is me trying to make sure there are the least amount of risks,” Steve explains, trying to be patient, but failing a little. “You’re not going.” He turns to Nancy and repeats: “He’s not going,” to which she raises her hands in a placating manner, he won her over, thank fuck.

“But-” Dustin starts.

“No, buts,” Steve snaps, feeling a little guilty when Dustin snaps his mouth shut, though not for long, already working himself up to start arguing again.

Before he can, however, Eddie steps in and says: “Listen to Steve, Dustin. I’m not letting you come with me. I’m going to paint a target on my back. My back. You’re already in enough shit because of me, I’m not letting you put yourself in danger like that. This isn’t a game.”

“I know that,” Dustin exclaims. “I’ve been through this more times than you. What if something happens to you? You didn’t put shit on my back, I want to help and I know more than you.”

“You know I don’t mean it like that-” Eddie starts.

“No, you don’t, but it’s true,” Dustin cuts him off. “I’ve lived through this before. This isn’t my first time in danger.”

“Yes, it is,” Steve snaps. “Because we’ve always tried to keep you safe. I fought with those demoshits when you were behind me, I got captured in that base so you could run and I got pulled into that lake while you were on the coast. I took those risks, so you didn’t have to. Just like Hopper did for us. I’m not letting you die. Not on my watch, Henderson. It’s my job to keep you safe, you fucking idiot. If anyone is taking the risks, it’s us and you’re staying here and you’re going to deal with it, because I’m not going to your fucking funeral.”

It’s quiet after his outbursts. His own breathing is heavy and Dustin stares at him in shock. Around them, the tension can be cut like a knife. No one dares to say a word.

Much to Steve’s horror, tears start to well in Dustin’s eyes, but he bravely swallows them away. Yet they’re still audible in his voice as he replies: “And do you think I can go to your funeral? Or Eddie’s? You die, I die, remember.”

“And I’m not going to die,” Steve promises, despite knowing he can’t. “All I’m saying is that I know how to swing a bat, you don’t. Once you stop skipping PE, you can come, okay?”

The joke cuts the tension and Dustin huffs a laugh.

Eddie comes up behind the kid and ruffles his head, much like Steve himself does, as he says: “And nothing’s happening to me either, you know I’m good at running.”

“You’re also pretty brave, you know,” Dustin tells him and Steve can see how Eddie swells a little with pride.

He’s so good with Dustin, thinks too little of himself even though he deserves the world. Steve loves him so fucking much it hurts, but he can’t throw the operation off.

He can’t risk their friendship. They have to rely on Eddie to keep their path clear and Eddie has to rely on them to make sure he’ll make it out alive. He can’t upset that delicate balance of trust, no matter how much he wants to kiss Eddie right now. Plus, the kids and Nancy are here and he doesn’t want to out himself or Eddie.

So, he stays quiet as Nancy nods: “So, we have our teams. Now we just need to get weapons and stuff for a distraction. Ideas?”

Eddie lights up and quickly gets a paper, spreading it out on the table as he points to an add and says: “Check this out. The War Zone. I’ve been there once. It’s huge. They got everything you need for, uh, well, killing things, basically.”

“You think fake Rambo has enough guns there? Is that a grenade? I mean, how is any of this legal?” Robin judges bitchily and both Chrissy and Steve snort.

“Well, lucky for us, it is,” Eddie replies back, just as bitchily and Steve can’t help but look at him a little gooey eyed, which he quickly wipes off his face after meeting Robin’s eyes and seeing her ‘really?’ stare.

Eddie is still talking about avoiding hicks and cops and Steve tunes back in to hear Erica make the valid point that at a store like The War Zone there probably are angry hicks.

“Normally I’d agree,” Nancy says, “but we need the weapons. So I think it’s worth the risk.”

“Me too,” Lucas agrees, as Dustin does the opposite, wondering if it’s worth the time to bike there and Steve has to agree with that, remembering the horror bike ride in the Upside Down, how his sides screamed at him. He doesn’t know if he can bike that far and go kill Vecna. It’s more an either or situation.

“Who said anything about bikes?” Eddie speaks up.

“What you got some sort of car we don’t know about, Eds?” Steve asks, wondering why Eddie didn’t say before as well as wondering how, since he knows Eddie’s van is off somewhere near Rick’s boathouse.

“Well, it’s not exactly a car, Stevie,” Eddie says as he stands up from where he’d been leaning over the table in a manner Steve had pointedly not been looking at. Now they’re almost nose to nose and Steve is concentrating so hard on not looking at Eddie’s lips that he almost misses Eddie say: “And it’s not exactly mine, but uh, it’ll do.”

Eddie looks at the others for a second, then back at Steve. He gives him a mischievous grin that makes Steve knees go weak and he just knows they’re going to get into trouble, but with eyes like that, Steve is willing to follow Eddie anyway.

A/N:

Summary: whenever you manage to interrogate where your boyfriend disappeared to out of your neighbor Max you follow your younger classmates, and their friends Steve and Robin to find him to find out why the fuck there was a dead girl in his trailer that you didn’t kill bc why the fuck would Chrissy be in your home with your boyfriend alone?

Your mind was going a hundred miles an hour, whenever Eddie’s uncle called you telling you not to come home there’s been an incident you knew something bad happened, and with Eddie’s ‘Job’ you knew it had to involve him in some way. You didn’t expect to see 10 different cop cars surrounding the trailer park along with crime scene tapped around your house. Once you managed to get into the trailer park and parked you rushed to find Wayne to see what the fuck happened and where the hell your boyfriend was. “Wayne! Wayne! Wheres Eddie?” You asked grabbing his shoulders looking around “w-whats going on t-this is way t-too many cops” you asked starting to assume the worst, what if somebody laced his shit? What if that’s why the Coroner was parked outside. “Calm down Y/n…listen…I got off work…Chrissy…the girl Eddie used to..like was..she was..oh my god y/n…somebody evil killed that girl…and I don’t think it was Eddie..” he said looking at you, Wayne hated having to tell you this, he wasn’t that close with his nephew but he still loved the hell out of the weirdo, and he loved you just as much because you loved Eddie way more than anybody in their family ever did, you were like Eddie’s drug that he couldn’t live without, and watching your face change from worry to anger to sadness, because the man you loved more than anybody had left and ran without telling you a word or worse made his heart break even more for his nephew and you. “S-so Eddie’s okay?..” you asked nervously looking at him “i-I don’t know…I haven’t been able to find him since I got home..his vans gone…” he whispered before looking at you with a stern glare “promise me you will not go to find him. I love you y/n just like my own but if you try and find him and do find him…then the cops probably won’t be far behind…they won’t listen when I tell ‘em he couldn’t of done this…” he whispered sadly looking at you “I can’t do that Wayne…if the cops catch Eddie they’re gonna hurt him…show him no mercy..I can’t have that” you mumbled leaving quickly storming back to your car, Now, there is such thing as loving somebody too much, and you admit maybe you love Eddie too much, but you knew under the cocky playfully attitude he was sensitive and would cower at any demand, and he needed you to protect him, even if he didn’t think so.

As you drove through town you thought of where to start your search, you didn’t know where most of Ed’s friends lived, just the ones you had to occasionally drop off or pick up after his Hellfire campaigns. You stopped in front of Dustin Henderson’s house and parked quickly glaring at the two bikes in front of the house, Max was already here, you could tell by the chipped paint and the sticker she had taken from Billy’s room on the license plate decal of her bike. You weren’t exactly unknown to their household, having a short fling with Billy Hargrove, ending it after watching how he treated his younger sister, to which you tried to become a beacon of safety for Max.

Shutting your car door you rushed to The Henderson’s door, right before you could knock it swung open revealing the exact people you were looking for, they hurried you forward a bit so Dustin could shut the door before looking at you like you were about to tell them where their friend was. “Well. Where the fuck is he?” You asked first looking up and down at Dustin “I assume he let you one of you know or you’d have some idea” you asked looking at them worriedly “we’re gonna go to the family video and try and call all of his other friends to see if he’s hiding out there” Dustin said grabbing his bike “Good idea- what the hell are you doing? Get the hell in the car it’s much quicker” you asked motioning to your car that was horribly parked in the driveway “as long as you don’t park like that” Max mumbled walking towards your far smiling a bit “hey. You know Eddie parks for me when I drive places” you snapped playfully getting into the drivers seat practically speeding to Family Video.

It took less than 2 hours to find out where Eddie might be hiding, and somehow you had no idea to think of Rick until they had mentioned his name, thank god you knew where he lived though from the many trips over there you took with Eddie. It took yet another hour and a half to get there though, mainly because you and Dustin had to argue over the younger kids staying behind, which was an argument you gave into in the end. You parked outside slamming the car door rushing inside of the house “Eddie!?” You whisper yelled walking around, you knew Rick was out of town, and you also knew if you shoved the right spot in his door you could get in because of all of the times he was raided by police. Whenever you were met with eerily silence your heart sank, maybe he was hurt somewhere, you could hear the others searching the other areas, yelling for his name. It was like everytime you heard the shout of his name your eyes got even more cloudy than before, and before you knew it tears were running down your face. Jumping and turning around hopefully whenever you heard footsteps behind you, you were met with Steve’s compassionate look “Don’t cry, y/n” he mumbled hugging you tightly, any other time you would’ve laughed in Steve’s face, you knew after his and Nancy’s breakup he was basically a fuckboy, and yet you now accepted his hug crying into his chest “he’s probably just hiding somewhere else..this is only the first place we looked” he said rubbing your back, you just shook your head stepping back to wipe your face “Steve…he’s been missing since sometime last night..h-he told me it was just a deal and he’d be home by the time I got home this morning..Chrissy..the way she was when I saw her…if it was someone…how could Eddie still be out somewhere alive..” you whispered sniffling “well…I mean…they would’ve found his body or van by no-“ Steve was cut off by Max’s yell “hey guys!” Steve gives you an ‘I told you so’ look before you both rushed outside looking at what exactly Max was pointing her flashlight at, Rick’s shed door was slightly ajar “does Rick possibly always leave his shed unlocked?..” Dustin whispered looking towards you “I dunno! The times I was here it was chained locked shut but last time I rode with Eddie was like two or three months ago” you explained slowly walking towards the shed.

As you all managed to squeeze through the pry in the door you were met with even more eery silence, everything was untouched, obvious that someone had pried the door open but then not touch a single thing, while you peaked behind things and under things you scoffed at the other’s comments about the shed, but you had to admit it was fucking disgusting. Hearing a bag rustle harshly you turned around glaring at Steve who was jabbing inside of old boats with an oar “what are you doing?” Dustin asked harshly before stepping closer “what are you doing!?” He whisper yelled about to grab the oar that was still being jabbed into different storage bags. “Hey yea what the fuck are you doing?” You whispered stepping closer to them nodding at Dustin before Steve shifted starting to jab other tarps “what if he’s in here?” Steve whispered to you both sending a glare towards Dustin “so take the tarp off!” You both whisper yelled towards him “if you’re so brave you guys take the tarp off!” He whispered back to you, glaring at him you continued to look around trying to find any sign of Eddie staying here “hey look over here” max whispered looking at you and Robin, you walked over stepping over the clutter and mess, the smell of the shed kinda smelt like an abandoned building, furniture and other things just sitting in dust and other dirt and grime.

When you stopped your eyes lit up a bit and you almost started crying again, there were multiple beer bottles and food wrappers laid everywhere on the workbench “somebody was here” Robin whispered examining the wrappers “Eddie was here, that’s the only thing he’ll drink he says all the other beer tastes like shit” you whispered smiling as you looked around more “maybe he heard us pull up, got spooked and ran” Robin suggested looking towards Max “oh don’t worry! Steve will get him with his oar” Dustin joked, you sighed knowing that now if Eddie was in here he knew that Steve had an oar and could most likely hit him with it- “Steve. If you injury Eddie y/n’s most likely gonna kill you” Dustin said almost like reading your mind

“I know you think you’re being funny, Henderson but considering the fact that everybody in this room has nearly died about a hundred times personally I don’t find it funny-“ Steve screamed loudly as something jumped from under a tarp charging at him and shoving him against the wall pining him there “wait! Wait! Wait!” Steve screamed as Eddie held a broken beer bottle to Steve’s throat “hey! Hey!” Dustin yelled rushing towards Eddie stopping as he saw Eddie dig the sharp edge deeper almost cutting Steve “Eddie Munson if you hurt him watch if I don’t take my anger out on you for leaving without telling me Jack shit!” You screamed glaring at him shoving Dustin back walking closer to him “It’s y/n, Eddie. This is Steve, he’s not gonna hurt you, you know I won’t let that happen..” you said calmly trying to calm him down knowing that screaming is just gonna freak him out more. “Right..right..” he said gasping for air not wanting to press the glass into his skin any further than it was “Steve. I need you to drop the oar” Dustin said stepping forward a bit next to you just incase Eddie charged at you. Steve let out a shaky breath letting go of the oar letting it fall onto the ground with a couple loud knocks, you watched Eddie reposition glaring and push the bottle edge deeper, you weren’t gonna lie, seeing Eddie so angry was hot, but knowing the anger was just a mask to show his fear broke your heart. “He’s cool Ed! He’s cool I promise sweetheart I’m not gonna let him hurt you” you said loudly not wanting anybody to get hurt “what’re you doing here?” Eddie growled, his shaky voice tugging on your heart strings, he didn’t deserve this, you knew Eddie and you knew damn well he couldn’t hurt Chrissy, yes he loved you to the god damn moon and back but he still cared for Chrissy, she was the only one he knew really growing up who didn’t call him a freak and would’ve never killed her.

“We’re here to find you” Dustin said motioning to him “Eddie. These are Dustin’s friends, you know Robin…from..band” you said nervously motioning to the taller girl standing behind you “h-hello sir” Robin whispered slightly waving towards him “this is Max. Eddie you know Max she’s our neighbor..I used to live with her when I met you remember?-“ Dustin cut you off “the one who never wants to play dnd” he said looking at Eddie showing him his hands to let him know he’s not armed. “We’re on your side” he added growling to himself whenever Eddie still wouldn’t back off. “We’re on your side I swear on..my life!” You argued looking at him “right guys?” You asked watching Eddie just growl and dig the bottle deeper barely cutting Steve’s neck “shit! Shit!” You yelped looking at Dustin “I swear on my moms life!” He yelled “y-yeah, swear on Dustin’s mom” Steve whimpered, you watched Eddie jabbed the blade a bit before turning around, Steve rubbing his neck taking deep breaths to calm his heartbeat. Everybody sighed slowly trying to calm their own heart as Eddie slowly slid down the wall staring blankly at the floor, his hands shaking horribly, Dustin crouched in front of his holding his hand to keep you a couple feet back, you wanted to just shove the kid aside but you knew he just didn’t want you hurt and right know you couldn’t tell what was going on in your boyfriend’s head. Only now did you realize you had been crying again, wiping your face quickly as you knelt down looking at him as Dustin spoke “we just wanna help” he whispered reaching for the broken bottle retreating his hand back mumbling a small okay whenever Eddie pulled the bottle closer ready to jab it at anybody. “We just wanna know what happened Eddie..” You whispered slowly reaching towards him rubbing his shoulder lightly “you’re not gonna believe me” he whimpered looking at you tearing up “try us” Max said looking towards him, he looked up at her then back to you “guys…let me…have a minute with Ed..please” you asked scooting closer to him grabbing the bottle from his hand slowly slightly tugging it whenever he tried to tighten his grip on it, The others left, Dustin only giving slight protest to leaving you alone with Eddie in an unstable state but nonetheless he left standing guard outside the shed door incase you needed help.

“Eddie…sweetheart…Are you okay?..are you hurt?..” you whispered hugging him tightly feeling him relax his body in your hold, he smelt horrible, probably from staying in this nasty ass place “I-I didn’t do it..I-I swear I-I’d never hurt Chrissy” he whimpered holding onto you tightly like you’d somehow make all of this never happen “I know..I know bubs…I never thought you did..you’re too sweet of a person” you whispered moving his bangs to kiss his forehead, he slowly sat up looking at you cupping your cheeks, you rested your hands on his sighing “Ed…we need to know what happened…The cops…are most definitely looking for you right now…” you whispered softly, he just nodded letting you call the others back into the shed. He kissed you quickly and softly resting his forehead against yours “I’m sorry I left without leaving you anything to really..know..but..I was scared..” he whispered looking at you “I-I’m sorry” and just like that, every little spec of anger you felt towards Eddie for not telling you what was going on was gone, you just felt sadness for him.

After everybody got into the shed and seated Eddie sighed, starting to explain excatly what happened that night, from what he was doing with Chrissy in the first place to the second he left. “Her bones…” Eddie whimpered shaking his head stuttering trying to force himself to speak “her bones. Started to snap” he forced out looking away from you. “Her eyes…it was like something was inside, pulling..I-I didn’t know what to do…so…s-so I ran away…I left her there..” he whimpered his voice fading a telltale sign he was starting to cry, he quickly brought his hand to his face turning away “you all think I’m crazy don’t you?” He asked holding back a sob, his voice barely above a whisper. “No baby..we don’t think you’re crazy” you said looking at him, the others humming in agreement, you all jumped back when he started to yell not expecting his voice to go from so quiet to that loud “listen don’t bullshit me man! I know how it sounds!” He yelled his voice cracking and shaking any chance it got “we’re not bullshitting you” Max said sternly “we believe you” Robin chimed in looking at him as he scoffed and shook his head “okay..What I’m about to tell you…might a little difficult to take..” Dustin said sighing “when people say Hawkins is cursed..they’re not..that far off..there’s another world..hidden beneath Hawkins..sometimes it bleeds…into ours..” he explained, Eddie looking at Dustin almost intently “like…ghosts and shit…?” He asked “way worse..than ghosts..” max whispered.

You stayed with Eddie overnight, except you made him go inside Rick’s house to sleep, it wouldn’t be until the next day you saw the others again, you seemed to have been zoned out because you didn’t really take attention to anything until you were watching Steve be dragged underwater by something, you watched as Nancy jumped then Robin which left you and Eddie, you could heard police sirens and dog barking getting closer and your heart starting to race. “E-Eddie” you said watching the woods as he panicked on either staying in the boat or jumping into the water with whatever the hell pulled Steve down under. “Eddie” you said again turning towards him as he looked at you “what!?” He whispered yelled before you jumped into the water knowing he’d follow behind you, and he did, trying his best to swim next to you as you tried to find whatever the hell Steve was talking about and soon enough you did.

Dropping into the upside down was weird, it wasn’t dark but was hard to see, dust particles flying around everywhere and it wasn’t hard to find Steve and the others hiding under a rock. Once you both landed, Eddie almost making you into a pancake from how hard the fall was. You didn’t have time to groan in pain though because Nancy and the others started yelling as a swarm of some type of bats with tails started to attack both you and Eddie, the others screamed trying to run out and help you both but the bats wouldn’t stop, they just continued to swarm sinking their fangs into your’s and Eddie’s bodies, you couldn’t tell who’s screams were louder, yours, Eddie’s or your friends’s. For a split second you had thought to just use them, use the one thing you swore never to use again, you weren’t normal, not by a long shot, now you weren’t like El, you didn’t grow up in a lab, or be a lab rat all your life, but you did have something no doctor could explain, after an abusive upbringing one day whenever your dad went to beat you you used something not even you knew how it worked, until you started bouncing from foster home to foster home, using it almost anytime you were alone, testing it seeing how it worked.

You and Eddie put up a fight and for a moment you guys thought you had it, using the tails of the bats to slam them into the ground and kill them or at least injure them enough to stop attacking you, but it was like after one swarm died another was back, now swarming you, Eddie, and Robin, Nancy and Steve hiding under the rock protecting each other. You could see the moment Eddie gave up, he just turned to you and held your hand tightly, and the exact moment he gave up, you did too, feeling at least four bats bite into you at once you screamed in pain, letting your body fall and land on your knees you took a deep breath, closing your eyes, the familiar tingling sensation spread throughout your chest, fingers, and arms then a jolt almost like you were shocked with a shit ton of electricity at once. Everything went silent, just the panting of the others around you, your body shook, you could feel the warm blood going down over your lips, the dirt on the ground digging into your knees, and the weak tired feeling almost like your limbs were 50 pound sandbags. “Holy fucking shit! That was awesome!” Robin cheered jumping around as Eddie lifted you up off the ground onto your feet again “baby?…” he whispered cupping your cheeks gently lifting your head so you looked at him “was…was that..you?..” he asked “what?..” you asked slightly slurring your words, you had never used that much force, never in your life, your powers weren’t much different from El’s, you couldn’t move anything with your mind but you could send out short energy bursts, similar to telekinesis almost, you had never used that much energy before, the most you had ever used was whenever you had blown your step father through your living room wall. “That…that…giant blue..force it..fucking…obliterated everything around us…” he explained holding onto you tightly as he glanced around your surroundings, multiple buildings destroyed, some of the rock Nancy and Steve were hiding under was broken and chipped off, and there were multiple dead demon bats surrounding you, thousands of them. “I-I never wanted you to find out, Eddie…I-I don’t know…how…o-or…what-…I didn’t know how to explain it to you because I don’t know how to explain it myself” you whispered looking at him tearing up “I’m not mad…no no no…honey you just..you just saved us” he smiled looking at you “that was fucking awesome, don’t ever apologize for being like a..fucking sorcerer” he smiled looking at you trying to get a small smile out of you, since he had left and saw you again he barely saw you smile, and that was one of the things he loved and wanted to see 24/7. “You promise…you don’t..think I’m some…freak of nature?..” you asked holding onto his t-shirt tightly “oh baby” he sighed smiling at you placing a finger right between your eyes “don’t be so silly, silly, silly” he said tapping your forehead with each ‘silly’ he said “if you’re a freak baby then I guess I am one hell of a freak lover” he smiled, his smile growing even wider as you laughing shaking your head shoving him away by his face “how are you going to get out of here guys?” You asked looking at the others ready to get the hell out of wherever you guys were and get somewhere safe with Eddie.
