steve harrington works at dairy queen and eddie has never been to a dairy queen in his life. when he walks in, steve is the one to take his order.
“are you the dairy queen?” eddie asks with a smirk.
“no,” steve says bluntly, sticking a thumb out toward robin, “she is.”
eddie pouts. “the dairy king?”
“don’t call me that.”
“how do you make the ice cream with the candies in it?”
“the blizzards?”
“mhm.”
“we put ice cream in a cup, put candy in the cup, put more ice cream in the cup, and blend it up.”
“so it’s not just made like that?”
“nope.”
“you have to make it?”
“that’s my job.”
eddie sighs and stands at the counter silently for a few seconds. “if i do cookie dough… can you put other candies in it too?”
“it’ll cost more, but yes.”
“what are all the candies you have?”
steve proceeds to list off every candy he can remember, and robin slips in a few that he forgets, and eddie orders half of the candies in one small blizzard.
“sir,” steve is being Very Professional, “you wouldn’t be able to get any ice cream in that, it would just be candy.”
“oh. uhhh…. how about… would you be able to do that if it was a bigger size?”
“i guess.”

eddie sits in a corner booth while he forces himself to eat a large blizzard with a bunch of random toppings inside. he doesn’t even like pecans, but they’re in there. when he’s done, he goes back up to the counter.
“are you guys hiring?”
“not sure. you’ll have to put in an application, but i can’t promise anyone’ll get back to you.”
steve hands eddie an application and eddie fills it out right there, handing it back to steve.
“i’ll be your dairy queen,” eddie says with a really bad wink before walking out.
-
two weeks later, steve is holding eddie’s hands to show him how to blend a blizzard, and robin is hyperventilating behind them because she got caramel all over her hands.
