God what I’d give to be piled up in my aunts bed, in my strawberry shortcake nightgown, staying up way too late watching reruns of The Nanny again
Unplanned rant in tags but I’m leaving it. I’ll probably delete this tomorrow.
#and to eat chocolate chip eggo waffles that’ve been just about drown in whipped cream#it’s late and idk why but i’m in my feels and miss my aunt so much all of the sudden#it’s probably bc my cousin is pregnant and has decided family only matters if it’s all about her now#she thinks she’s even more special now and I think I’m done going to family events where she’s just gonna make me feel like crying for weeks#and I’m stuck here in this house- nearly existing- not living#waiting for my mother to decide it’s my turn to be important enough for things like learning to drive or money for glasses/drs#I’m currently being forced to live out of my goddamn living room bc I don’t have any furniture and we can loan everyone money#and buy them anything they want but we can’t buy our daughter a fucking mattress#I mean my rooms being used as storage anyways bc there’s no space in the garage but sure#go on and tell me the only reason I’m not able to move back into my room is bc you keep forgetting you want to buy some new blinds#i can’t even fucking drive bc I’m not important enough for you to spend time teaching me#and I can’t get a job bc you’re unreliable with driving me and I spend all day tiptoeing around you and your mood swings#but sure my cousin who doesn’t give a shit about anyone gets to just make her entire life about some dude living across the street#that only talked to her bc my aunt died and now she gets to make everything even more about her#and of course by her I mean him bc I mean it when I say she’s made him her ENTIRE personality#girl does have any hobbies or interests outside of him#and yet my mother has decided that she can take off work and help her out with the baby for as long as she needs#meanwhile I’ve been waiting 6 years to learn to drive and have to hold off on sleeping on an actual fucking mattress#bc the majority of my moms time and money goes to helping out cousin#I broke my glasses in December and had to reschedule my optometrist appointment 3 fucking times bc of her#we were supposed to go look for glasses over two months ago but every single one of her days off either goes to my cousin#or she decides that she doesn’t feel like getting out and would rather just do stuff around the house#I mean sure I found an old pair of glasses to wear but they’re from 10 years ago and have given me a permanent fucking headache#but sure I can wait until after the baby shower and the gender reveal and after she’s had the kid for a bit#bc you have to make sure you’re always available to her#I’ve got all the time in the world clearly bc i’m apparently not human#at least I’ve got my cats and chihuahua

Can’t stop thinking about how unhinged this scene is. I LOVE it so much.
Tumblr media
This is literally the next supermarket scene that we get after Mike’s failed love confession to El, where he couldn’t say the words and couldn’t get her to understand his cryptic, coded language. Dustin interrupts on the radio, probably to Mike’s immense relief, and then we get this absolute masterpiece.
Mike goes from sitting close to El in the scene prior to sitting the farthest away from her, directly next to Will. In the previous scene Mike is sat close to El because Max instructed him to hold pressure on her wound. It continues a common theme of El and Mike being forced together because El is in need of help and Mike is being made responsible for her. As soon as Mike has the CHOICE though, he sits next to Will. And not just next to him, but barely even a foot away. Like they’re sat so close together that even the shots that are focused solely on Mike have Will partly in them.
Tumblr media
Moving on from the positioning, there’s possibly the best and most unserious part of this entire scene which is the fact that they sat them right in front of the FRUIT section, which is simply incredible. They also put Will on the left so that he’s positioned under the “Always #1” part of the fluorescent sign above their heads.
Tumblr media
Then there’s the obvious fact that they’re all coupled off, including El who is sat with her beloved eggos behind her. This scene also draws your attention to how complimentary all the couple outfits are. Max and Lucas are both in shorts and Max’s thick strapped top is reflected in the layered look of Lucas’s shirt. Both Nancy and Jonathan rock pants and striped shirts. Finally, Mike and Will look like they share a closet (lol) with their short shorts and color blocked polos with bright collars. They all look so good together. Even El is matching with the yellow Eggo boxes behind her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finally, there’s the fact that Mike isn’t even really paying attention to El in this scene. Instead he’s more focused on arguing with Lucas about New Coke.
This whole scene feels like a test to see how obvious they could be about Mike’s sexuality without people noticing, which is apparently extremely obvious considering they put Mike and Will with the couples and literally spelled out that Mike is fruity and that Will is his #1, yet most people came away from that scene still thinking that Mike’s love confession was successful and that he’s madly in love with El.
All of this has been pointed out before but I just think this scene is incredible and I keep thinking about it. Bless the people that make this show ❤️

okay since they said that the san diego show is gonna be the only one Not recorded, i'll do my best to summarize the show for y'all!!!
-glenn's dad fact: the glenn close trio instagram (? i think?) is full of pictures of glenn standing next to a picture of the real glenn close
-darryl's dad fact: he and carol go to san diego very frequently because darryl likes the breweries and carol likes surfing! they have not "had sex" there once, but they HAVE made love (statements that made me cringe out loud)
-henry's dad fact: he and mercedes make a fake san diego burrito for themselves and the twins. it sounds awful.
-ron's dad fact: he thinks san diego is a type of eggo waffle
-the prompt that we rolled was called DADDY BABIES. the plotline? the dads (and paeden) went to the dimensional witch tilt toblerona to ask her to give them the strength of their youth back so they could find their kids. instead, tilt turned them into babies.
-the dads still have all of their memories of who they are as people and they can talk to themselves and to paeden (tilt does not understand them though, tilt only hears baby noises) but physically Being a baby affects their mental state just a bit
-ron wanted to stay a baby forever. henry tried to explain the concept of ageplay to him, darryl got confused thinking that ron just wanted to HAVE a baby like with samantha, henry had to explain fetishes
-during the baby section, henry is the most "adult" and ends up having to corral the others. darryl is a close second, but glenn and ron both Suffer Immensely
-while tilt is making. applesauce? the babies scheme on how to escape, involving an elaborate scheme in which henry uses mold earth on playdoh to make fake versions of themselves blue in the face and choking in a plastic bag and ron throwing his voice to sound like a baby crying. beth made the worst fake crying noise ever but then also gave us an INSANE dolphin noise when anthony called her out on it
-(also the dads had to roll object permanence to see if they thought tilt was gone forever when she was out of their line of sight. glenn failed this check very badly. darryl even played peekaboo with him to demonstrate object permanence and it failed. anthony made a horrible horrible joke that glenn's not a bad parent he just has bad object permanence even when it comes to nick)
-somehow this works? they trap tilt toblerona (glenn using illusory mind prison to make tilt think SHES the one choking on a plastic bag, henry casting stone wall on her to build a lego wall around her and effectively cask of amontillado-ing her) and then wander around the house looking for a way out.
-they realize they need tilt's key to escape, but first they watch an episode of bluey! henry is the only one who saved on a roll to Not be sucked into watching bluey and ends up unplugging the TV and going on a tangent about how screentime is bad
-(which is really fucking funny because he very explicitly says "lark and sparrow are well behaved because we set boundaries and have them play outside instead of using screens" and we all know how lark and sparrow are like. not???? not well behaved. henry im so sorry to break this to you but they are not well behaved-)
-anyways they get back to tilt, find and steal her key, and then open the door, promptly getting sucked through dimensions
-(darryl thinks for a second that he's in the rapture and tries to baptize himself in case his baby form isn't baptized. henry tries to help but goes on another tangent and they miss the opportunity)
-when they awaken, they find themselves now as teenagers in a classroom! and they see a GOTH PUNK SEEKER OF DARKNESS (phrases that made the entire crowd erupt in screaming, myself included)
-this time, darryl is the most stable of the dads! glenn coming in second, and then ron and henry were both. very teenager.
-darryl immediately offers to play ball with link. link is interested but ultimately gets shot down by tilt, who explains that they are in interdimensional detention forever
-glenn and taylor immediately bond over how cool they are
-scary asks ron if she can copy his math homework because he seems smart with a tie. ron agrees to let her but is very nervous about it (we later find out this is because he is not very good at math)
-teenage henry is a fucking delight yall. he sits there staring out the window at the trees and writing poetry (with long hair! long hair teenage hen is real!!!) about the trees and enjoying nature
-scary has to roll not to fall in love with him the second she finds out that he writes poetry (she fails)
-normal tries to bond with his grandfather. henry brushes him off entirely. its heartbreaking and also hilariously funny
-normal goes fucking apeshit yall. he gets so fed up of henry ignoring him and the others not talking to him and being trapped in this small room that he takes a crossbow and threatens tilt with it. she calls his bluff and he SHOOTS HER?
-at least, he tries. she catches the bolt and then tells him that if he's serious he needs to actually stab the bolt into her heart himself. he does. he's unhinged.
-tilt tries to explain her entire sob story backstory. darryl interrupts to boo her and call her a loser.
-glenn and taylor throw a desk out of the window to break it open. going out the window Will Kill You.
-ron paints the window like a slip and slide to try and trick tilt into going into it. it doesn't work. however two guards come in and it DOES work on one of the guards
-the other guard eventually gets physically thrown out of the window by taylor, who proudly declares that this will not affect him at all
-henry goes to talk to scary. scary gets excited, but then henry just asks if she thinks that teen darryl would go out with henry because even though he's "not henry's type", something about him is captivating. scary is heartbroken.
-darryl overhears this and rejects henry on the basis of him still dating carol! but offers to set henry up with carol's friends.
-glenn and taylor use awful fireworks to blind tilt, the other guard (that taylor kills), and normal since he was in range.
-scary tries to be bitter and calls henry out for being blind, but henry wasn't hit with the spell and immediately says some fakedeep shit about seeing more than most people do. it is insanely funny i cannot stress how funny teenage henry is
-link is now convinced that public schools were a mistake and he needs to leave Right Now. he rolls a nat 20 on taking the key, but uses it for himself to fucking dip. he just ditches them. he bolts for it. normal even tries to give him a high five and link completely goes NOPE.
-when nobody else has another form of escape, henry takes out his sketchbook? that apparently he always has as a teen? and uses summon creature to draw a boar and bring it to life. the boar smashes through the door and now they are saved!
-it is here that it is revealed this was all a dream but specifically a dream set pre-canon. darryl makes a comment about link being a narc. glenn tells taylor to never change because he's perfect exactly the way he is. scary tells ron that he sucks at math (and ron is very confused about scary's existence he doesn't know who she is).
-HENRY. tells normal to be the best version of himself. AND TO HELP HIM WITH THAT. he draws. TEENY. TO GIVE TO NORMAL AND INSPIRE HIM TO BE HIS BEST SELF. and that is how normal came up with teeny the teen as the mascot of teen high
-it was such a fun show, i'm so glad i got to attend! shame that it isn't being recorded

So, Kellogg's Boycott. Again. Haven't seen any posts about it here yet, so figured I'd make one.
In short: We're all tired of these big companies gouging their prices just because they can, and calling it 'inflation.' We're tired of companies announcing record profits while they cut bonuses/lay people off/force workers to run on skeleton crews/etc. We're tired of "Shrinkflation" And we're tired of a bunch of other shit too, but you get my point.
So, vote with your wallet.
On April 1st, stop buying Kellogg's, and keep that up until June 30th. Just three months- just one quarter of the fiscal year. Companies report earnings each quarter, and if their earnings drop it will reflect in these quarterly reports.
Why Kellogg's?
Because their CEO recently pulled a "Let them eat cake." TLDR; Kellogg's has raised prices by 28% across the board, bragged about record breaking profits, and then suggested that families struggling to afford groceries, because of aforementioned price gouging, just "eat cereal for dinner!"
And well, that message was not well received by anyone, as one could imagine. Pissed a lot of people off.
So yeah. The plan is to stop buying any Kellogg's products (below) for the entirety of the second quarter (April 1st-June 30th) and to collectively tell Kellogg to fuck off until they lower their prices. The goal isn't to "destroy the company" or cost anyone their jobs- but we will hit them where they will listen. Their profits.
If they don't listen, then we don't come back, and we start in on the next company, and keep going until they all get the message. There's always alternatives (more on that below) and we don't need them. If they refuse to drop their prices, then we just stick with the alternatives we found.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Three months is a minor inconvenience to teach a corporation a lesson, and we can do it.
So, take this month before April to find your alternatives. If you need help, I based a non-comprehensive list (below) off the image above. There's tons more just a google search away, and I bet others have made lists as well. There's also always the option to make your own. There's tons of recipes online showing how to make dupes of your favorite products.
Tumblr media
Some things to note:
Don't go stocking up on your favorite Kellogg's products the last week of March and think you're not crossing the picket line. The point is to make Kellogg's feel the loss in profits, and stocking up on Cheez-its beforehand will defeat the purpose. I sincerely promise you can make it three months without buying Kellogg's. Again, three months is a minor inconvenience to teach a corporation a lesson, and we can do it.
That said, Safe Foods are acknowledged. If you or your child is neurodivergent and has issues with food (i.e: literally won't be won't be able to eat at all without their safe food) you get a pass. By all means feel free to try and find alternatives, but it's very unlikely that the few who can't boycott will cause it to fail. There should be plenty of the rest of us to pick up the slack.
Don't be a bystander- meaning don't go about this thinking "Oh, well surely there's enough people boycotting that it's fine if I just-" No. If we ever want things to change then we need to be strong enough to do even something as small as not buying something we like for three months. Furthermore, it's on those of us who can afford Kellogg's products to boycott Kellogg's. It's not the responsibility of those who already can't afford Eggos to boycott Eggos. Nothing will change if you go about just assuming everyone else already has it handled for you. Take a stand.
And importantly, Spread the word. This only works if we let as many people as possible know about it.
So reblog this post, or make your own post, or both. Even feel free to copy and paste this entire post off-platform if you need to. I've also seen some suggest making flyers, or even just writing on post-it notes, and sticking them to Kellogg's products in the store to spread the word off-line.
Just get the word out there. If we ever want these companies to stop gouging us for every cent we've earned, then we have to make a stand somewhere.
If we do nothing it will only ever get worse.

Two Pink Lines
Title: Two Pink Lines
Alt Title: I’ve Heard Worse News
Warnings: swearing, unplanned pregnancy, mentions of bad childhood
Pairing: Fezco x Reader x Platonic!Ash (lil bro ash and big sis reader ftw)
Disclaimer: I don’t own you or the euphoria franchise. I own the writing.
Rating: PG I reckon
Word count: 2k
A/N: I haven’t written anything in three months! I hope this doesn’t suck! I’ve had so much going on lately! I’ve gotten into my own place w my bf, I had a car crash, a major pregnancy scare, and a job promotion lol. I’m doing alright rn, so I figured I’d take the chance and finally get something out again! Thank you all for being so so kind and patient w my inconsistent ass 😂 I genuinely love all of y’all!!
✨✨
You sighed, placing the test face down on the counter. Music playing from your phone to try and ease your nerves. Snooze by SZA playing low as you slipped down the wall. You pulled your knees to your chest as you allowed the song to play through, your brain running the entire time.
The jokes you made to your boyfriend, Fez, were just that. Jokes. In no way did you actually think you were ready for children. You had just graduated from East Highland less than a week ago.
Your childhood wasn’t the most pleasant. You had been living with your boyfriend since you two were 13 and 14. Fez was all you knew, and you were all he knew. You knew everything about him and his life. His grandma, his job, his brother. And you fit like a glove in all of it. His grandmother took you in with open arms and loved you as her own.
You didn’t know what you’d do with a baby, you didn’t know where it would fit into your current life. You worked at the local breakfast place, it was like a Waffle House, but called MeeMaw Judy’s Home.
Your mind drifted to Fez. He didn’t want kids. You knew for a fact because he always told you “keep it movin’ ma”, everytime you passed baby aisles. Hell, the two of you even had talked about it last night. As far as Fezco was concerned, he didn’t see a baby in y’all’s plans for at least another 4 years.
The song ended and you took a deep breath. You couldn’t begin to explain how long those 3 minutes were. “Alright.” You whispered to yourself as you stood up, turning over the test you stared at them. Two pink lines. You’re not even sure you’ve ever seen pink lines so dark.
“Fuck.” You whispered as you placed the test on the counter. “Fuck, fuck, fuck…” you said, voice cracking at the last fuck, tears welling in your eyes. You had false positives before, only for the next test to have been negative. But this time you knew you were pregnant. Nausea, fatigue, as well as paired with your period being late not one, but two weeks? Oh yea, your eggo is preggo.
Your thoughts ran to a complete halt as the door opened. “(Y/N)! Can you make waffles… what the fuck is all of this?” Ash asked, looking at the test on the counter. Your heart sank as you tried to explain. “Look, I just… just please get out. Please.” You pleaded, trying to push him out. “Hey, it’s ok. Stop stressin’. Y’a’int in trouble. Just… y’know. Take a deep breath.”
Ash grabbed your hand, thumb rubbing over your knuckles, a trait he picked up from Fez after he noticed it helped you calm down. “Ash, please. I need to think of how to tell Fez.” Ash shook his head before leading you to sit on the couch. “Worry about calmin’ your ass down first. You’re acting like your life is over. It’s just a baby.” Ash let go of your hand.
You felt yourself relax a little. How was he so calm? How is your life not over? Taking another look at the test, you grabbed it. “This wasn’t supposed to happen this way.” You walked out of the bathroom to the living room.
You sat on the couch and let go of the breath you were holding. “Why’re you so freaked out?” Ash asked, taking a seat next to you.
“Ash, you’re 14. I really don’t think any of this is your business. You’re too young.” You said, placing the test face down on the table.
“(Name).” Ash said plainly, looking at you.
“Okay. Fair.” You nodded, before taking a deep breath. You’re really about to vent to your boyfriend’s 14 year old brother? Well, it wouldn't be the first time. Ash looked at you as a mother figure, seeing as his only real one was incapacitated.
“Fez doesn’t want kids. Not now at least.” You
“Well, ya should’ve been safer, huh?” He crossed his arms. “What’s the plan (Y/N)?” Ash asked you, leaning back into the couch.
“I don’t know. Haven’t thought that far ahead. A minute ago I found out I’m…” The words got caught in your throat as you leaned onto the couch as well. “You think MeeMaw’ll let me bring a kid to work?” You half joked.
“I’ve seen what she allows, it wouldn’t surprise me.” Ash said, a small smile finding itself on his rather stoic face.
Mrs. Judy, or MeeMaw as you and everyone called her, was a kinder old lady. Standing at a firm 4’10 inches, she’s seen a thing or two. She was always kind to you, making sure you had food to bring home to the boys. She knew your upbringing and the conditions that landed you to who you became.
“When’s Fez supposed to come home anyways?” You asked Ash. “Not sure. He’s sellin’ at some kid’s party tonight. What’s her name, Kat, I think?” He shrugged. “He probably won’t be home until midnight then,” you sighed, rubbing your face, “gives me at least 2 hours to think about what I’m gonna do.”
“I got somethin’ you can do then.”
“Waffles?” You half-laughed, looking at Ash through your fingers. “I think we need to buy eggs and milk for it actually.”
“Damn.” He placed his arms next to his sides. “We can watch a movie?” You suggested. “I got Maddy’s Netflix.” You shrugged.
“Better than waitin’ around for nothin’.” Ash grabbed the remote and handed it to you.
Turning on a movie on Netflix, some random movie by Adam Sandler, who’s movies were yours and Ash’s favorite way to pass time.
He quickly tuned into it, but your eyes glued onto the white slender test. Millions of thoughts ran through your mind.
Was Fez gonna be mad?
Was he gonna leave? Or more so, make you leave?
Was he gonna tell you it’s ok?
Was he gonna marry you? God, what a thought. Marriage wasn’t a bad thing, by no means. When it works.
By 12, your mother had been married 6 times, and two of them were remarriages to your father. Screaming, crashing and crying was no stranger to you.
You remember the argument your parents had that led them to that final divorce and you into Fez’s home.
“(Mother Name)! What’s this shit? You’re pregnant? Again?!”
“I was gonna tell you! You went snooping through the trash? Are you fucking insane?!” CRASH, you heard as the test that was thrown at the picture frame that had a picture of you holding your half-brother. You sniffed the tears back as you packed your bag faster.
“You should’ve wrapped it if you didn’t want this shit!” She screamed at him. “Fuck that! You’re just as much to blame! Is it even mine, whore?!”
“Oh fuck you, you bastard!”
“No thank you! That’s how we landed here! Just go! Go and fucking take your goddamn mistakes with you!”
Mistake? That’s all your father thought of you?
“You act like I wanted to get pregnant again, or any time beforehand! I didn’t want these fucking kids anymore than you or Jerald and Will did! Besides, (Name) is the only one here!”
Nevermind, there was your mother being the way she was. You looked at the broken glass on the floor as you stood in the doorframe.
“I’m not going with her.” You stated, in your broken little voice. “You’re not fucking staying with me.”
“I wasn’t fucking planning on it.” You walked past your father. “The fuck are you going?” Your mother asked.
“Why do you care?” You grabbed the doorknob, the rest of your body turning to look at your parents. “I’m a mistake to both of you, so why is it such a big fucking deal if I just grant you both your wish of getting out of your hair?” You asked them, tears free-flowing down your cheeks.
“Why the hell did you have kids if you hate them?” You asked them. “Why do I have to be an adult when I’m 13?”
Your parents stared at you, expression unrecognizable. “Well, just so you know, I hate you guys. So don’t worry, the feelings aren’t one sided.” You opened the door and walked out, closing it behind you.
You used your finger to wipe the tear that began to slip down your cheek. You haven’t seen your parents since that day, hell, you don’t even know if they’re alive or dead. You sent a graduation invitation to the house your mother lived at, but received the initiation back with RETURN TO SENDER in red letters over your face.
You looked over at Ash, who was fast asleep with his head on your lap. You smiled a little at him, and your gaze returned to the test.
Your phone began ringing from the bathroom and you gently placed Ash’s head on the couch. He curled up in a ball as he got re-comfortable. You walked to the bathroom and grabbed your phone.
Answering the call, you placed the phone to your ear. “Hey ma.” Fez’s voice sounded like honey over the phone. “Hey baby.” You said, holding the phone to your ear with your shoulder as you threw the box in the trash. “Ash ‘sleep?” He asked.
“Mhm.” You answered, walking back to the living room to grab the test.
“You good?” He asked into the phone as you heard his blinker. “Yea… no. I just… we gotta talk when you get home.” You answered, walking to the front door. “I’ll just meet you at the car so we can talk without waking up Ash.” You told him, hanging the phone up.
You walked to the front of the house and leaned against the gate. You put the test in your bra as you waited.
Your breath got caught in your throat as you watched the bright lights pull in front of you. Putting your head down you walked over to the passenger seat and got in.
“What’s wrong?” He looked at you, his hand moving to hold your face. His hand rested on your cheek as he made you look at him. “Whatever it is, ma, it’s gonna be aight.” He said, thumb stroking the soft flesh of your cheek.
Your lip quivered as you let go of the breath you were holding. “I’m pregnant, Fez.” You said straight out, taking the test out of your bra to hand to him, eyes drifting to the floor.
“Oh.” His hand leaves your cheek to grab the test, turning on an overhead light, he looks at it. “I’m sorry.” You sniffed, eyes welling with tears as you stared at your feet on the floorboard.
“Whatchu sorry for? This ain’t bad news. I thought you was finna tell me someone died.” He looked at you. “It ain’t like we knew it was gonna happen. Shit happens, ma. We’ll figure it out, somehow. Hell, grandma did.”
“You’re not mad?” You asked him. “I’m not thrilled. But that part ain’t important no more.” He took your face in his hands, test between his fingers. “You’re what’s important to me, ma. Without you, I don’t know where I’d be.” He kissed you softly. “We’re gonna have a baby. I’ve heard of worse news from you.” He said against your lips.
“I was scared you’d yell at me.” You confessed.
“Yell?” He pulled away from you. “Not about somethin’ like this.” He shook his head. “We got other shit to worry about rather than yellin’. Yellin’ ain’t gon’ get anything done other than stress my babies out.” He said simply.
“I got milk and eggs. Ash texted me.” He said.
“I guess I ain’t getting out of making them waffles, huh?”
“You figured you know better about that.” Fez half joked, grabbing the milk and eggs bag from the backseat.
“Now come on, I’m tired. It’s been a long night. We can talk more in the morning.” You patted his thigh and kissed his cheek.
He laughed a little and nodded his head. “Alright ma.”

Idk if you’ve written anything no like this but maybe Steve & reader shopping together and he remembers something that she gets and she’s in awe of him remembering that idk. I always get heart eyes when a guy remembers the little things lol
no u don’t understand this shit makes me so weak at the knees
steve slid back up beside you, fingers skimming the skin of your back, teasing just beneath your shirt as he pushed a kiss to the side of your head, lips warm against your temple. his nose nudged along your hairline, his attention making your own lips tilt into a smile, your focus on choosing which flavour chips to buy the kids wavering. the two of you were supposed to be joining them for movie night but if steve kept touching you the way he was you weren't sure you'd make it.
"grabbed some eggos for el." he dropped a few boxes into the basket you were carrying, wrapped an arm around your waist to squeeze your hip and settled against your side. he was warm against you and it was almost impossible to stop yourself from sinking into his body. you went to chastise him for buying the younger girl more boxes when his cupboard was already full but stopped yourself when he placed a jar into the the basket.
"what's that?"
"hmm?" steve glanced down, hand half outstretched to grab a bag of hot chips from the middle shelf. he followed your finger, shrugged when he spotted the jar and pulled the chips loose. "honey."
"who wanted honey?" your brow crinkled because you couldn't remember anyone adding honey to the list of things to grab before you joined them. you briefly wondered if it was a new weird thing robin wanted to try out and she'd asked steve to grab it while they'd been at work.
"no one, i got it for you."
"me?" he hummed, dropped two bags of the same chips into the basket before leading you a little further down the aisle in search of pringles. he took the basket from you, swung it back and forth playfully at his side, eyes focused on the snacks. you let your own gaze wander the side of his face, the gentle slope of his nose, the soft plumpness of his lips, the smattering of freckles that dusted his nose and moles that dotted his cheeks. something fizzled inside of you because it was never lost on you just how pretty steve was, or the fact that this incredibly beautiful man was all yours. “i didn’t ask for honey.”
“no, i know,” he brushed his hand through his hair, pushed the fluffy strands back off his forehead and let his attention drop to your face. he cracked a small smile, one corner of his mouth lifting a little higher than the other. “you said you wanted to stay at my place tonight so i was thinking of making us smoothies in the morning. i checked my fridge before i left and i already had strawberries and bananas in, i know it’s your favourite flavour but i know you like having honey in it too. figured i might as well keep some for you, make sure i always have it in.”
something inside of your reacted to that, your heart stuttering a little unsteadily, almost stopping and restarting as steve’s words settled over you. you could only stare at him for a moment, a giddy and completely uncontrollable feeling of adoration skipping over your skin, dripping down your spine and curling around your heart because he’d remembered something so small and insignificant. you’d mentioned liking honey in your smoothies only once to your boyfriend, a passing comment you’d made during one of your midnight drives and he’d remembered. not only had he remembered, he was buying some for his own cupboard for whenever you had smoothies with him.
“you remembered that?” your voice was light and airy, a little awestruck, a lump lodged in your throat and you weren’t entirely sure why his good memory was making you feel emotional. it was just honey. steve cocked his head, scrunched his nose a little in confusion as though it was preposterous that you’d think he’d have forgotten anything about you.
“of course i did. i remember everything you tell me.” his smile only grew, eyes crinkling slightly at the corners but you didn’t miss the faint blush that had wrapped it’s fingers around the tops of his cheeks. “i’m like a y/n memory book.” you laughed softly, your own smile ear splitting and steve startled slightly when you pressed forward, gripped his chin between your thumb and forefinger to tug him towards you.
your mouth slotted perfectly over his, lips catching his bottom one softly, your other hand settling on his forearm just for the sake of contact. you kissed him slowly in the snacks aisle, oblivious to anyone else around you, focused only on steve and the fact that you had never been more in love with anyone or anything in your life. the hand not holding the basket found your waist, pushed a little beneath your shirt to caress over your bare skin and he hummed quietly, tried not to smile but failed spectacularly. he pulled back with a laugh, pressed his nose against your cheek as you grinned, moved to cup his jaw rather than his cheek.
“if i’d have known honey made you this happy i’d have stocked up months ago.”

Still thinking about the fact niki was like "creation wouldn't hurt u guys" only cuz TUBBO MADE HIM I LOVE THEM SO MUCH LIKE SHE KNOWS.
she knows tubbo so well that she just knows he would never intentionally hurt the eggos. She knows
On top of that I love the facts she's just down for anything when tubbos involved. When the kids disappeared and tubbo was planing to bother the feds so much to force them out she was just down for it.
Tubbo and niki were ex fed workers and they are besties, he defected and she was down to join him.
Or my favorite idea they are both genuinely unhinged and together the feds where like "wtf is that???" And iced them.

Sneaky, Like a Ninja
Kind of a part 2 to this post based on a comment from @doubleb11. I hope you guys like it and please leave your thoughts in the comments!
Now with a third and final part!
~*~*~*~
Living with Hopper, Joyce, and the kids while he recovered was great. Steve woke up every morning to breakfast before work, even if it was usually a disgustingly sweet Triple-Decker Eggo Extravaganza. He and the kids were bonding and the stilted conversations with Jonathan had lost their awkwardness. Even Joyce was starting to come around to Steve and was involving him in conversations instead of speaking around him. Things were good. 
What Steve didn’t appreciate was his midnight curfew or the rule that the door had to stay open three inches when all he wanted to do was make out with his boyfriend. He didn’t want Hopper glaring into his borrowed bedroom while he tried to “talk” with Eddie. I mean, anything more than a cautious peck was enough for Hopper to barge in with threats. 
These rules were grating on Steve’s nerves. For most of his childhood and all of his teenage years, Steve has been on his own. He made his own rules and could do almost whatever he wanted without repercussions since his parents were always out of town. So, living with other people and being expected to follow arbitrary rules fitted to a ten year old girl was significantly impacting his sense of independence. 
What choice did he have other than sneaking out? His head was fine, the mild concussion symptoms had long since dissipated but Hopper was unwilling to concede and if Steve didn’t have a fulfilling make out session with Eddie at least every other day, he was going to die. Luckily for Steve, he was somewhat of a ninja. 
So on a night that Hopper and Joyce both went to sleep early and Jonathan was out of the house working late, Steve snuck out. Honestly, it was easier than he had anticipated. He wiggled through the bedroom window, flopped ungracefully onto the hard earth while making sure not to hit his head, and waited a moment. When none of the house lights turned on and everyone remained silent in sleep, Steve grabbed Will’s bike and took off towards the trailer park. The ride was smooth and there was no one out at that time of night, it made the ride peaceful in a way that Steve hadn’t before considered. When he got to the Munson trailer, Eddie pulled him to his bedroom for cuddles and kisses. It had been far too long for both of them despite it being only a little over a week. Steve bragged to Eddie about how he was ‘sneaky, like a ninja’ and he kissed him to his heart’s content. He could get used to this. 
Early the next morning, Eddie drove him back to the Byers’ and dropped him off a few houses down. He did not want Hopper to see him dropping off his son so early, thank you very much. 
Steve gave him a kiss goodbye and carefully snuck back into the house. He was quietly closing the window behind him when he heard a throat clear. 
Steve jumped and turned around to face an unimpressed Jonathan. “Dude, what the hell! You should be asleep right now!”
Jonathan’s look only got blanker, “so should you. Where were you?”
“I was with Eddie, so what?” Steve did not want to talk about his sexual escapades to his pseudo step-brother/ex-girlfriend’s ex. 
“Steve, what would’ve happened if Hop had noticed you missing?”
“He wouldn’t have, okay. I’m sneaky! It’s fine, he's not going to find out,” Steve assured him. 
“Alright, if you’re sure, just be careful,” Jonathan warned before clapping his shoulder and walking away. 
It was fine, Steve was practically a ninja with how sneaky he could be. No one else would find out. 
His attempts to sneak out were successful the next several times. He would just use the bedroom window and off he went. However, on this particular night, when he crawled back into his room after spending a few hours with Eddie, Will and El were standing in front of the bed waiting for him like the twins from The Shining. 
“Son of a bitch!” Steve exclaimed and jerked back into the wall in surprise. He hadn’t expected the kids to notice his absence considering both of them were supposed to be asleep. “What the hell are you doing in here?”
“We were looking for you. What are you doing?” Will asked him. Steve didn’t know how to break it to him that he was sneaking out to make out with his beloved dungeon master so he stayed quiet. 
“Steve, are you okay? Should I get my dad?” El asked him, she seemed genuinely worried about him which made his heart hurt. 
“No! Do not get Hopper! Look guys, I was just going out to get some air. Everything is fine.”
“Why did you not use the door? Why the window?” El asked. 
“Were you sneaking out?” Will asked him.
“Okay, you need to tone down the accusations, kid. I was not sneaking out. Why would I even do that?” Steve asked him. 
“To see Eddie?” Will’s eyebrows raised for emphasis and Steve just stared at him. 
“Oh,” El nodded sagely. “You do not like the three inch rule. I did not either.”
“Wow! Hey,” Steve exclaimed, waving his hands. “You’re a kid, you shouldn’t be doing anything behind closed doors. Me though? I’m an adult. Also, it’s none of your business! Go to bed, weirdos!”
They each narrowed their eyes at him in tandem which kind of creeped him out but they filed out of the room regardless. Jesus Christ, Steve couldn’t wait to get back home to the empty house and parents that didn’t care what he was doing. 
When he tried to sneak out again the next night, he ran into a snag. Apparently, Will and El did not appreciate his methods of escape via bedroom window and had glued it shut. No amount of gently frantic jimmying could force it open. Son of a bitch!
The next few days Steve tried increasingly creative ways of sneakily escaping the house. He jumped through Will’s window one day, he left the back door propped open slightly to avoid the creaking sound later, he even constructed a fake body out of pillows and stayed out all night! 
When it was finally time to return home after Hopper kidnapped him, he could only breathe a sigh of relief. The Hopper-Byers were a caring bunch but the stress was starting to build up. Hopper gave him a ride back to his house and stopped him just as he was about to walk away from the cruiser.
“Hey kid?”
“Yeah,” Steve looked back at him in askance. He better not try to talk him into going back because he already had a movie night with Eddie and Robin planned at his place. 
“Next time, go through the front door. It doesn’t creak like the one in the back or stick like that bedroom window. Alright?” Hopper’s voice was void of emotion but his eyes looked amused. 
“You knew?!” Steve screamed. 
“Of course I knew, I’m the chief of police. You think anything happens around here that I’m not aware of?” The teasing tone dropped from his voice but he continued. “Tell Munson that he better stop defiling my son or we’re going to have words. Capiche?”
“Jesus Christ, Hop,” he muttered. His voice was kind of strangled and he cleared his throat as he started walking away. “I got it! Go be the chief of police and stop embarrassing me. Bye dad!” 
He shut the door behind him and leaned his head against it. So much for being sneaky like a ninja.

qPhil & Other Egg Headcanons
Happy birthday original eggos 😭💚🎉
Note: Although I made these bc the og eggs are birth today, I've done at least one hc for each egg! They're a bit limited bc they're based off what I've seen through 3 POVs + osmosis through liveblog, but I included them all nonetheless. :D
qPhil headcanons masterlist
He thinks Leo has so much fucking swag. How does a literal egg look so fucking cool like at all times. How does she do it.
Secretly admires the shit out of Dapper. He's fucking brilliant. Hilariously unhinged. Insanely devoted to his collection habits. Adorably takes after Bad in looks and silliness. He's just such a badass little guy.
Pomme his fucking beloved. Brilliant just like her siblings, insanely perceptive, tough as nails yet still soft as flower pedals. He sees huge survivalist potential in her. He wishes she could shed some of the stress she's always seems to be under. He relates to her a bit too much sometimes. He hopes that poor girl gets a break.
He's absolutely gutted he didn't get to know Trump like at all. He saw little to nothing of him. He hopes he's at peace with Maxo.
GOD he wish he got more time with Flippa. She took him out like it was nothing. He would've loved training her alongside her parents. He bets she would've been an awesome pvper one day.
He wishes he could've seen more of Tilin. He more familiar with her than he was Trump but still not enough.
Richarlyson makes it so hard not to pick "favorite eggs" besides his own. Richas is always on some wild ass shit, Phil fucking loves it. That kid's just high on life at like all times. Unreasonably funny on top of it all. God does Phil worry about him though, he's gotten way too into risking his life for the lulz.
Ramon practically feels like a third child to him (sometimes). Much like Dapper, he loves how brilliant he is and how cracked at his craft he is.
Bobby's death absolutely devastated him. He loved that little shit. And he loved how happy he made Roier and Jaiden. Seeing how severely his death broke them made his heart ache. He had nightmares about going through the same thing.
He's DETERMINED to get to know Chunsik further. Timezones are a bitch though. :( But he will be damned if something happens before he can get more familiar.
Empanada is unreasonably cute to him, and he loves seeing her take more and more after Bagi every time he sees her once more. He absolutely loves how close she and all her moms are. He genuinely fears the Pancake Mafia tbh, and he's convinced Empanada is the head.
He adores Sunny. She knows what she wants. They're not afraid to speak their mind as long as they're comfortable. She's silly and playful and sweet. Yet they still have this small, but palpable cool edge to them. Truly one spunky little girl. 😎
Phil is like 90% sure Pepito is just always going thru it, but has a sneaking suspicion that's just how Pepito seems at first glance, and maybe thats just what Pepito WANTS people to think. Either way, Pepito is just such a Creacher and Phil loves it. An absolutely loveable little guy.
He on/off considers commissioning Ramon or Dapper to make bombs to go fuck up a Fed building. He'd let them join him tbh.
He's so insanely afraid of accidentally hurting the eggs, but he'd love to spar with them and teach them more pvp skills so they'd be even better at defending themselves. He's only comfortable doing so with his own eggs.
God, he wants more times where ALL the eggs are together. He loves watching them interact, he loves their dynamics with each other and the chaos that unfolds when they're all in one place.
Phil: I don't want to build things bc technically that's doing the Feds a favor by making the island cooler. So fuck them. // Also Phil: *would build an entire city for these goddamn eggs if it meant they were safe and happy*

does selkie!soap know that ghost is a changeling? if not can we have him figure it out?
Yes! I absolutely fucking can! Continuation from this post
1
Soap looked at his husband, watching him carefully. Ghost had eaten twelve pancakes. Not eggos. Eggos would be reasonable. Twelve, full sized pancakes. 
To be fair, Ghost had been the one cooking them, so it wasn’t that noticeable to anyone else. They all had large appetites. Big men, big muscles, bit metabolisms. 
But Soap was watching Ghost make more for himself and he was clearly trying to make it seem like he hadn’t eaten that much. It was odd. 
His husband. What a funny phrase to be able to use now. Anyway. His husband was odd. 
He poured more syrup on his pancakes, he made chocolate chip for Soap, blueberry for Gaz, strawberry for Price and from the looks of it, plain for himself. Ghost ate in the kitchen, probably to keep them from seeing his face. It wasn’t unusual, but Soap couldn’t help but wonder how often Ghost was using it to hide his odd eating habits. 
2
The next was simpler. Ghost’s gloves had torn. His hands looked normal but very pale. 
“Guess you don’t get out in the sunlight much, huh LT?”
“Not really.” Ghost rubbed his hands together gently. 
Soap tossed him again and turned away, only to hear it thunk against the floor. He looked backed to see Ghost just staring at it. 
“I’ll stick to knives.”
“There’s a lot of people. I’d feel better if you have a gun.”
“Do you have one with a grip?”
“What? No.” Soap stared at him for a minute and Ghost relented. He picked the gun up and followed him. 
It wasn’t until later that he finally got to put the gun down and Soap saw them. Everywhere the metal had touched his hands were burns. Severe ones. In parts, especially where he’d have it pressed hard to his palm, the skin had started to bubble and crack. 
Ghost noticed him staring and dropped the gun. “Ironic. A sniper who can’t actually touch it. S’why I wear the gloves...” 
“Ah...” Soap thought of the steel and therefore the iron in the gun. His whole not human theory was starting to make much more sense. 
3
It was such an odd topic to bring up, but they were on it and Soap was determined to use it. 
“Yeah, personally I grew up Roman Catholic. Got the baptism and everything.” According to his dad, who had laughed about it, his mom had begged him not to, worried it would kill Soap or make him human. According to his mom, his dad had jumped at the idea that baptism might make him human. It did neither of course. “What about you, LT?”
“My mom was Protestant, but I never was baptized. She stopped taking us before I was old enough to do it.”
“Why?”
Ghost paused, glancing around. No one was really focusing on them so he shrugged. Soap had noticed that although the bond effected him in the usual ways, the world revolving more around Ghost, him always being aware of Ghost, feeling Ghost’s presence around him at all times, yada, yada, it had also affected Ghost, which was interesting. It made him a little more open with Soap. Just Soap. If that sent a thrill through him, no one needed to know. 
“My mom took me and Tommy every Sunday. My dad occasionally tagged along. One day, one of the patrons caught me stealing an extra piece of the communion bread. This lady made it fresh and it was fucking great. They told my dad and he hit me with a bible so hard it knocked me to the ground. Right in front of everyone. My mom stopped taking us to church after that.” Ghost told it all to him quietly. “I had liked going, even though I didn’t believe in it. Always felt insincere, but it made my mom happy.” 
“Oh.” Soap stared. “How old were you?”
“I think I was seven.” Ghost hummed and looked away. “Never got baptized. Probably good thing. They always heated the holy water up.” 
Soap prepared himself for the joke of “boiling the hell out of it” but after a moment he realized Ghost was sincere. 
The holy water burned him. 
Soap suddenly had a vague idea of what he was. 
4
Soap had a heavy suspicion at this point. He had a feeling he knew exactly what Ghost was, so he decided to do a little experiment to see. 
Before he left that morning, he turned his shirt inside out and then slipped his hoodie over it. The only exception being creatures that had to notice. 
Ghost stared at him for a moment before he simply turned away and ignored him. Soap tried to get his attention and Ghost just wrinkled his nose and turned away from him. 
Gaz gave them an odd look and Soap just smiled awkwardly before stepping away. He fixed his clothing and tried once again to strike up a conversation. 
Immediately, Ghost actually talked to him. It was his usual rather quiet amount but it was definitely there.
“Why did you ignore me?”
“What are you talking about MacTavish?”
“Right now. You ignored me.”
“You weren’t talking to me a minute ago. You need to go to the medics?” Ghost seemed genuinely concerned. 
“Nah, probably just dehydrated. I’ll go grab a drink.” He smiled at him and stepped away. 
Gaz looked at him. “I think Ghost is going a tad crazy.”
“Nah, think he’s fucking with me.” Soap covered for him. 
Gaz didn’t look like he believed him but he dropped it. 
5
“Johnny, why are we on a secluded beach in the middle of the fucking night?” Ghost had followed him though. In his civvies, the soft hoodie and sweatpants clinging to all the right places. His mom didn’t warn him how bad marriage would feel at first. Or more, how bad one sided marriage would feel. He wanted to attack Ghost. Throw himself at him and claim his husband in every way he could. 
“Simon. I need to talk to you about something.” Ghost turned towards him. Soap vaguely put the face he remembered from Los Almas over the ski mask. He was glad Ghost went with this instead of the plastic mask and balaclava. That day, the kohl makeup had run all the way down Ghost’s face, covering his cheeks and his nose. His hair was shaggy and curled oddly, sticking up all over the place. It had been shoved down as if to cover his ears and it felt in his eyes. Despite clearly being cut into a buzzcut recently, it looked like it hadn’t worked too well. Soap had wondered at the time if it had been unfinished and he had to rush it. 
Now that he knew he was a changeling, it made more sense. Their hair tended to grow unnaturally fast and choppy. 
“What do need to talk about Johnny?” Ghost seemed worried. He glanced at the coat around Soap’s shoulders. 
“I... I know you’re not human.” Soap decided to start there. 
There was a beat of silence. 
Then Ghost laughed. There was a slightly bitter edge to it. “Oh, fuck off, Soap. You know, out of everyone, I never expected that shit from you.” He started to turn away from him.
“I’m not either.” Soap thought he was playing coy. It made sense, Soap would never admit it so easily and this Ghost. King of not saying shit about himself. 
“MacTavish,” Ghost looked at him, “you may be experiencing psychosis. Sometimes men on the battlefield...” Soap stared at him, hearing him like he was muffled through more than just his mask. 
Did Ghost... not know? 
There was no way Ghost didn’t. He hid away all his oddities. Been so careful. There was no way he didn’t at least expect it.
“Have you ever heard of a selkie?” Soap interrupted. 
“The seals that turn into humans. Yeah, I guess.”
“I need you to understand I’m not... I’m...” Soap sighed. “Just. I need you to trust me for a just a minute, okay?”
Ghost stared at him for a long while before nodding slightly. “Okay.” 
Soap slowly slipped his coat off and then started to undress. He kept his eyes downcast, but he could feel Ghost’s eyes on him. Scanning over him with growing alarm. 
Soap wrapped his coat around him before he shucked off his underwear. 
“Johnny.” Ghost said softly and there was something there that Soap needed a lot more time to unpack.
“Trust me.” Soap said softly. “Just... could you turn around for a minute?”
“You’re willing to undress in front of me but not do... whatever you’re about to do?” Ghost sounded... amused. It made butterflies in his stomach. 
“It’s unpleasant.” Soap said softly. Ghost finally turned around him. 
His coat fused with his skin and the transformation was... unpleasant to look at it. His fur laced with him and he sorta fell to the ground, luckily able to muffle himself so it didn’t startle Ghost. 
There he was. A harbor seal. He barked and Ghost turned around slowly, staring at him. 
Ghost continued to stare. And continued. And stared. 
Soap slowly rolled over to his expose his stomach. He couldn’t exactly talk, but his dogtags, which he had clearly been wearing, were around his neck now. 
Ghost slowly moved closer, touching the chain and reading the name. He didn’t move, staying crouched over him. 
Soap could see the ring of gold around his pupils again. 
“Oh.” Ghost said softly. 
The transformation back was much easier and faster. His snout seemed to wrinkle before splitting and he poked his head out, shaking his head. It looked like he had just had the coat over his face, but Ghost knew better. 
“Take your mask off.” Soap muttered against him, the coat splitting down his chest to go back to a more coat like shape. His bare chest was out but he was smart enough to cover his lower half. 
Ghost stared at him even longer and Soap knew for a fact he hadn’t blinked the entire time. He reached up and pulled Ghost’s mask off for him. 
There was Simon. 
Oh. 
Oh God he’s incredibly hot. 
Simon hadn’t put the make up on so Soap was treated to his freckles. They were... He sat up and grabbed Simon’s face who didn’t seem that surprised by it honestly. 
They sparkled. They weren’t like a human’s at all. One, they were mostly shaped like stars instead of just dots and fleck. Two, they were a stunning gold color that reflected the moonlight. 
Soap reached up and ran his hands through Ghost’s hair. It was just like before, spiky and uneven despite clearly being freshly trimmed. His ears were pointed like an elf, too severe to look normal.
“When the body modifications came out, I just blamed it on that...”
“Do you... know?” Soap spoke gently to him but he couldn’t keep his hands to himself. His husband was right here.
“No. I don’t... know. I didn’t even know there were other things like me. Thought I was just... wrong.”
“I think you may be a changeling.” Soap admitted. “I may have... tested it. A couple of times, trying to see if I could figure it out.”
Ghost glared at him and he went to take his mask back, but Soap stopped him. “Johnny... Please.”
“Simon.” Soap said softly, pulling him a little closer and Ghost finally slid to his knees instead of crouching. “I’m not going to hurt you.” 
Simon looked at him and suddenly stiffened. “When I took your coat.” 
“It’s okay. You didn’t... You didn’t purposely do anything.” Soap reassured.
“But I did do something.” 
Soap sighed. “This isn’t... the conversation I wanted to have tonight... What do you know about selkies?”
“Take their coat and you can control them. That’s it.”
“Pretty accurate. It’s a little more than just control though. When someone holds my coat, there’s an instinct under my skin. A desperation to please is the best way I can put it. It’s a survival tactic to keep from being punished according to my mom. You do what you can to keep your master happy so they don’t strike out at you.” 
“Have you...” Simon was touching him now. Holding his face and putting his arm around him. “Been...”
“Twice. Once when I was 12 for two months and once when I was 17 until I turned 19. The first one was by a kid my age and it wasn’t... nothing happened. People usually get concerned.” Johnny smiled at him. 
“And the other one?”
Johnny shook his head. “Another day. Please.”
“Another day.” Simon promised. “But what did I do?”
“You gave it back. The way you did it... You pick it back in my hands. You didn’t let me grab it.”
“Is that bad?” 
“We’re married. Kinda. It’s not legally binding, of course. It can be ignored. Even broken.” Soap mumbled the last parts. It hurt. He’d like to blame it on his coat. That it was making him a little crazy. But he knew it wasn’t just that. The idea of being rejected by Ghost was... He cared a lot for Ghost and it had nothing to do with being not quite human. 
Ghost was staring again. “Since the hospital. That was weeks ago.” 
“Yeah. I suppose it was. Look, I can tell you how to break it.” Soap felt Ghost’s mouth on his and the arm pulled him closer, right against his broad chest. 
“I haven’t been a very good husband to you.” Ghost joked, but there was a layer of stress underneath it. 
Soap shrugged. “I haven’t been a very good bride.” He leaned in closer. 
“Would you... like to be?”
“If you’d have me.”
Ghost huffed. “I’d be an idiot not to.” 
“Good. Although, you are going to have to court me. My mom is not very impressed with you right now.” Soap got up.
“You talked about me to your mom?” Ghost was scrambling to get up and follow him.
“Of course. Had to tell her some Brit married me. She was worried.” He flashed him a smile and tossed him his mask. 
“How the fuck do I court you?” Ghost tugged it on and followed him. He gathered up Soap’s clothes, watching him twirl around barefoot on the beach. 
“Figure it out.”
“Can I have your mom’s number?”
“Why the fuck do you need that??”
“To ask her how! Also I want your mom to like me.”

HAWKINS, INDIANA. 1995.
JULY 2ND.
"Claire!” Steve calls out, watching as she runs off, giggling. She stops at the end of the aisle, her curls flying over her shoulder as her hazel eyes land on them.
He sees the glimmer of mischief. “Claire. . . Come here,” He points. “You promised me you’d be good!”
She cackles, running out of sight now. Steve groans, throwing the smiley face fries into the cart before making quick work of following the gremlin as he curses himself for listening to a promise of a 5 year old.
The cart he had picked out was annoying. Hard to push, the wheels squeaked everytime he pushed it.
Steve had only came to Wally’s for 30 minutes, tops. Since Claire, oh so lovingly, had told everyone that Daddy was doing a cook out for the fourth.
He didn’t have the heart to say no and let it just be another day. Steve Harrington was not that type of father.
If his girl wanted something, he’d gladly do it without any thought.
Hence, why he’s looking for her because she had given him those cute eyes, glossy with fake tears when he had said no at first to walking around the store beside him.
The little gremlin knew how to get him.
He finally spots her, with another person in front of her tiny body. “Oh, I’m sorry.”
“Daddy! Look!” She holds up the box of Eggo’s that had those red and blue sprinkles in them - sprinkles had always tasted disgusting to him, like plastic. and
He would know after the sprinkles with the side of cupcake and icing.
“Oh,” He makes a face. “Yum.”
“Can we get ‘em?!”
Steve glances at you, who smiles softly as you stand, before back at the girl.
Oh, you were beautiful.
He opens his mouth before closing it and clearing his throat. He does it again.
Claire tilts her head, pinching her brows together. She then shrugs, stepping towards the cart and throwing the cardboard box filled with premade Eggo’s inside.
“You-” His face flushes from the squeak in his voice. He clears his throat again and squares his shoulders slightly. “You don’t want blueberry waffles?”
“Yuck,” She was lying. She liked those but just couldn’t remember ever eating them. “No, thank you.”
Her little body then turns to you, tutu spinning with her. Her chubby hands land on her hips as she tilts her head.
“Are you busy in two days?”
Steve’s eyes widen.
“I don’t think I am, Princess Claire,” He groans internally, but you just wanted to humor the small girl that had seemingly randomly picked you. “Why?”
“Daddy is throwing a cookout! You should come!”
“Sweetheart, I don’t think-”
“Well, it is your father’s house,” You kneel down once again. “So it’s up to him if he wants a complete stranger in his home.”
“You’re not a stranger!” Claire shakes her head. She turns to Steve and says your name. “See! I know her!”
You glance up at the man, smiling shyly before standing. “I’m sure he would feel awkward. But thank you for being so sweet, Claire. It made my day,” She pouts and turns back to you. “You have a sweet daughter. Have a nice day.” You wave at the both of them, turning and stepping out of the aisle.
“Daddy, please! She seemed sad!”
Steve laughs at her but quickly stops when he watches her place her hands on her hips. “Sweetheart, she probably felt weird. Sometimes we gotta know boundaries, okay?”
She nods, staring down at the linoleum floor. “Do you think I’ll ever see her again?” She asks sadly.
“Maybe. Now,” He lifts a brow and picks her up. “You are going in here.” He places her into the cart.
She gives him the eyes again with fake tears. He simply looks away.
🕊️
JULY 20TH.
The bell above Steve and Claire’s head rings throughout the diner. Claire runs to the usual red booth, slipping in by the window before patting the spot next to her.
Steve smiles a bit, sliding in next to her before reaching over and grabbing a menu. “Do you know what you want, pumpkin?”
“Uhm. . . Milkshake?”
He chuckles. “After you eat,” He looks at her. “What do you want to eat?”
She pouts but looks at the menu. “Grilled cheese and fries?” She then looks back at him.
“Drink?”
“Milkshake,” He gives her a look. “With extra sprinkles.” She grins.
He sighs and shakes his head looking back at the menu. A gasp from the girl beside him makes him look over at her quickly. She then says your name. “I thought I’d never see you again!” She lifts onto her knees. Steve looks over, mouth parting.
You laugh softly, nodding. “I thought I’d never see you again! Did you like those Eggo’s?”
“Daddy burnt them.”
“I did not! It was-” You both stare at him and suddenly, he feels intimidated. “It was the oven.”
“Suuuuure, oooookay.” Claire shakes her head, looking back at you and smiling.
You giggle a bit. “What can I get started for you today? Or do you need some more time?”
“Nope!” Claire grins.
Steve smiles a bit. “Uh, she wants a grilled cheese with a side of fries and apple juice-”
“Chocolate milkshake.” She frowns, correcting him.
“Sweetheart, you can have one after you eat. I promise.”
She sighs and falls back into the booth. “Okay.” She mutters.
He then sends you a small, nervous smile. You grin at him. “And I’ll take a hamburger with fries. And cherry coke. Please.”
You giggle quietly to yourself, nodding as you repeat back the order. “Anything else?”
“No. I think we are okay.”
“Alright, coming right up.” You send him a wink and he’s quick to flush.
“Ooooo.”
He turns towards Claire, narrowing his eyes at her. “What?”
“You like her!”
“Shhh! Don’t say that so loud,” He looks around before shaking his head. “I don’t even know her!”
“I like her too! You should ask her to hang out with us sometime.”
“Claire-”
“Please.” She pouts.
He tries to look away, but his eyes keep glancing at you then at Claire whose eyes water.
He sighs and leans back. “Okay. Fine.”
She cheers to herself, wiggling in the booth.
🕊️
Finished with the piece of pie and Chocolate milkshake - extra sprinkles, of course - Steve was waiting for the receipt, while Claire slides on her jacket.
"And here you are!” You smile softly, handing over the receipt. “I hope to see you both again soon.” You smile, eyes landing on the receipt before up at Steve.
You turn and walk off, a small smile on your face.
Steve furrows his brows, glancing down.
‘Call me some time.’
Then below was your number.
He could pass out but decided against it.
“What is it, Daddy? You’re blushing.” She pokes at his cheek.
“No, I’m not. Let’s go, Princess Claire.” She grins at the name and slides out of the booth, grabbing ahold of his hand as she talks away.
“Are you even listening to me?” She looks up at him.
“Uh, yeah.” He nods, helping her in her car seat. He wasn’t.
He was too busy to think about what he was going to say when he calls you and invites you to hang out sometime. (Claire’s request, of course.)
One thing about Steve Harrington, though, he falls fast.

As they finish up Joyce spots bruises (like hand mark shaped bruises which were ovbvi from billy and hers sexual encounters) on the readers neck and she gets worried that billy may have done something to her so asks her what happened thinking the reader got hurt, and the reader keeps telling her it’s nothing and then hopper walks in and sees the bruises too and starts raising his voice so she tells them that no one hurt her and she explains without exposing and they catch on, and hopper realizes that she was the one with billy that night.

Tumblr media
Now look, you were a good girl okay? You kept your head down, your grades up, you stayed out of trouble, you did the right things, you were co-captain of the Hawkins High Cheer squad, and you were the best big sister you could be to Eleven, who adores you almost more than she adores eggos. But that didn't mean that you didn't know how to be a bad girl, because believe you me, good girls are just bad girls that haven't been caught. Well, that is until tonight however, or almost anyway.
Your father was working the night shift, policing the now oddly quiet town of Hawkins through the evening and into the early morning hours, and you figured it was the perfect time to sneak out and see your boyfriend who was only your boyfriend in secret, which upset you but god you were addicted to him in ways that you didn't even think were possible to become addicted to someone.
In other words, he had you dick whipped. But even besides that, you had been drawn to him. Sure, he was a dick and a half at all hours of the day when he was around people who weren't you, and you knew that that was just a front because he didnt want to look weak around them, he didnt want them to see him the way his father did. It made your heart hurt for him, but you knew he didnt like to talk too much about it, which is why you hardly ever asked and chose to cherish the moments you had alone with him, where he was sweet and loving, almost dorky even.
Billy Hargrove wasn't what people thought he was, and you just wished you could show that to the world some day, but you couldn't. With a sigh you finish brushing your hair and turn to your little sister with a flourish. "What do you think, El?" You ask, looking at her hopefully. You had done the bare minimum of lip gloss, and had slicked your hair back with some barrettes, hoping you looked cute but still innocent enough, something that always manages to drive Billy crazy.
Eleven laid on her bed, reading a book on her stomach as you primped yourself in your shared mirror. "We're not supposed to leave.." She says, looking at you. "But you look pretty..you always look pretty."
"Sweetie, what dad doesn't know won't hurt him." You says, leaning against the dresser for a moment. You knew you were risking alot, you'd never been on your father's bad side before and sure enough this would be the thing that would put you there, but you were willing to risk it, in your teenaged brain it was completely worth the wrath of your father if you got caught. "Can you keep a secret for me?" You ask, just as a car honks from outside. You perk up, that was Billy. You had called him half an hour ago and as usual, he was punctual. "Please, El? I don't get to see him any other time.."
El nods, just as Billy honks a second time and you squeal, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek before running through the dark living room and out of the front door.
"About damn ti-" You cut him off mid sentence, giving him a nice long kiss, your hand in his hair. You pull away from him, noticing the slightly dazed look on his face. "What was that for?" He asks, reversing out of the driveway.
You shrug, buckling your seatbelt. "I missed you." Is all you say, giving him a small, happy smile. He says nothing, but places his hand over your thigh, giving it a nice squeeze with his large, warm hands.
Billy wasn't a sweetheart by any means, but he did have is sweet moments, and one of them seemed to have been tonight. He decided that he'd take you on a little dinner date and brought you to your favorite pizza parlor, where he even ordered your favorite pizza for you while you went to the restroom because even though he hated to admit it, he really did know you that well.
You sat across from him, gabbing on about how your day had gone, telling him about how you wanted to sucker punch your co-captain after she had been mean to some of the newer girls on the team, you really hated her some times. He sat and he listened, something that you absolutely loved because you knew that he was actually listening. You looked at him for a moment, your face flushing. "Im sorry, I'm talking to much..you could've just told me to shut up."
Billy looks at you, a small smile on his face. God, he really did like you more than he had planned to. "Nah baby, I love it when you tell me about your day." He says, his voice soft. Billy wasn't usually this quiet of a person, he always has something to say so you knew that something must have been bothering him. The bruise forming on his jawline told you that he must have gotten into it with his dad before he came to get you, it was small, and if you didn't know his face so we'll, you wouldn't have noticed it. "What?"
You shake your head, knowing that he didnt care to talk about his home life, and you didn't like to pry, but you wished you knew how to help in some other way beside getting your dad involved.
"You ready?" He asks, grabbing his leather coat off the chair next to him before grabbing your hand. He has been craving your embrace all day, and he had been looking forward to your call all night.
You nod, following him to the car.
You loved your nights with Billy, infact, some days you even craved them, though you often worried that he used your time together as a way to get his frustrations out about what went on at home, his anger at his dad being vented out during your sexual encounters.
You didnt stop him, you didn't mind the pain, hell it actually made your orgasm all the more better and tonight was no different, though he was alot rougher than he had ever been before.
Once you had gotten to lovers lake he had wasted no time in pushing you to the back seat, giving your ass a smack as you climbed between the front seats, your ass on full display for him.
He was on you in seconds, his mouth kissing yours roughly, his hands gripping you tightly. You pushed his clothes out os the way as easily as you could, your legs spread around him as you pushed his jeans down past his hips, his beautifully thick cock springing free from it's confounds.
You hum appreciatively at the sight, looking up at him as you wrap your hand around it, giving it a nice long stroke. He grinds his hips up into your hand, enjoying the feeling of you touching him. He groaned, his kiss moving from your lips to your jaw line, and down your neck, slowly rising your shirt above your bra as he lets his hands cup one of your breasts, kneading it gently with his fingers. You buck your hips up, rubbing against him at the contact.
You could tell that he was trying to be gentle, sweet even, and you loved the gesture but you knew what he needed, you let go of his cock, taking his face in your hands. He looks at you quizzically, worried almost. You brush your thumb over the still forming bruise, that's harder to see in the dark of his car, and you meet his eyes.
"Fuck me, Billy..whatever you need to do, however you want me..please, baby.." He closes his eyes, a long breath coming from his nostrils.
He opens them again, his hand going up to your hair, running his hand over the top of your head. He knew exactly what you meant, and honestly, without even knowing it, in that moment he had completely fallen head over heels in love with you, because how could he not when you're the only person that had ever seen through him like that? "Are you sure baby? What if I hurt you?" He asks, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to stop, that maybe you wouldnt want him anymore afterwards.
You shake your head, giving him a small smile. "You won't, Billy.." You says, giving his face a light squeeze between your hands. He nods once, his lips lingering over yours in a gentle kiss almost as if to say thank you.
You definitely didn't regret your choice in the moment, and god you were on your way to your third orgasm, his hips snapping into your pelvic bone almost meanly at this point, your leg cocked over his shoulder, damn near unable to breathe with the way he was applying pressure to your neck with both hands, you just knew his fingers were sure to leave lingering marks and fuck if the idea didn't turn you on farther.
You knew he was getting closer to his orgasm because the meaner he got, the harder he choked, the deeper he fucked you and the louder you got, was usually his tell that he was about to fucking explode.
"Good fucking girl, y/n, good fucking girl letting me fuck you so meanly." He grunts out, his hands still gripping your throat, fuck if he wasn't turned on farther by the fucking dumb little blissful smile you wore on your perfectly plump lips in that moment, or by how red and flushed your face was as you stared up at him. He wondered if he had finally fucked your brain to mush. "Such a pretty little whore taking my cock like it's nothi-" The sound of something knocking on the passenger side window interrupted the two of you and Billy stopped immediately.
"It's almost midnight, Hargrove, cut it out and take the poor girl home." You hear your father's voice call from outside, your eyes going wide. Billy is smart enough to cover you with his body, incase the chief happens to look inside. You give a squeak of fear, wondering if the two of you had been officially caught. You bury your face in his chest, squeezing his biceps in the hopes that your father wouldn't recognize your hair if he happened to look inside. He knocks on the window again, and it sounds like he's using his flashlight, you can see the beam cutting through the rear window. "Zip it up Billy, I'm not playing."
"Yes chief, I understand.." He calls back, trying hard to make sure you stay covered. "Do you mind like, going back to your car though, no need to watch us get dressed, Sir.". Your dad lingers for a second, but you hear his footsteps start to walk away, crunching on the gravel that littered the ground.
"Holy fuck that was close, Billy." You breathe, your legs shaking in fear, or maybe adrenaline. You really weren't sure which. Billy moves off of you, pulling out of you. You can't help the whine that escapes your throat at the feeling, already craving him all over again.
"Oh trust me baby, we aren't finished with this yet.." He says, giving you a cocky smirk as he buttons his shirr before stuffing his cock back into his pants.
You struggle with your shirt, still weak from the fear and from your two orgasms that has honestly rocked your fucking world. He looks at you, almost cheesily smiling at you. He loved it when he made you weak like that, he loved being able to shower you with aftercare, something he'd never wanted to do with someone before. "Here baby.." He says, pulling you closer to him. He helps you with your bra, and your shirt before helping you pull your skirt back down your body. When he's done he gives you a sweet, gentle kiss before helping push you back to the front seat.
"Thank you, Billy.." You say, settling into your seat. You watch him climb back over, settling into the front seat. You shiver a little, it had gotten cold by the lake and without the warmth of his body you were quickly chilled. Without a word he reaches behind you and grabs his jacket from the back, wrapping it over your shoulders.
He drives almost wordlessly, only talking to ask if you're okay, and thankfully you make it home quickly. He pulls info the driveway, and stops. You turn to him. "Im sorry our night was ruined.." you says, feeling horrible. You should have thought more before you told him to go to the lake, you had forgotten that your father was out patrolling tonight.
Billy shrugs, looking at you. "I had a great time, baby.." He says, leaning back in his seat. He watched you, taking in your beauty for a moment, a smile on his face. "maybe that's not the way I wanted it to end, but it wasn't ruined."
You smile, look away awkwardly. "You know, we wouldn't have to sneak around like this if you would just let me tell him about us.."
Billy sighs, he knew that you hated that your entire relationship was a secret, but god he was terrified that your dad wouldn't let him see you again, or that your friends would find out and convince you that he wasn't good enough for you. "I told you baby, I'm not parent friendly.." He says, he sees your face fall, if only for a second before you gather yourself up again.
You give him a smile, leaning over to kiss him gently. "I'll see you tomorrow, baby." You say, although really want to scream how much you love him as you get out of the car.
Eleven is waiting for you inside, her eyes go wide at the sight of the large leather jacket around your shoulders. "Dad's going to ask questions when he sees that." She says, causing you to furrow your eyebrows in fear. You take the coat off immediately, completely forgetting that it was on your shoulders. "And that! Are those his finger prints?"
The next morning went by as smoothly as it could have, you covered what you could of Billy's fingerprints on your neck, although most of the time was spent staring at them almost longingly. He'd left marks before but he'd never left bruises, you hadnt even realized he had been choking you that hard last night.
What couldn't cover in concealer and bronzer, you covered with a turtlenecked long sleeve shirt, it was chilly enough out that morning that you could get by with it without being asked too many questions. You threw on a pair of jeans and your favorite pair of shoes, making sure to stuff his coat into your bag before heading out of your room just in time for a car to honk out front.
You give your dad a brief kiss as El scrambles to get her things, he was leaning against the kitchen counter sipping his morning coffee. "See you for dinner dad, let's go El!"
Jonathan waited for you in the driveway, and smiles when he sees you. "It's a little extreme for turtlenecks, don't you think, Y/N?" He asks as you slip into the front seat, El getting into the back with Will.
Ever since your dad has started seeing Joyce, you and Jonathan had become close, you'd consider him a close friend, and you kind of wished you could ask him for advice about your relationship but you knew he wouldn't keep the secret, he would take it straight to your dad.
"Shut up, it's totally cold enough!" You say, looking at him weirdly as he pulls out of the driveway and heads towards the schools.
It doesn't take long before you're there, and once he's parked you get out of the car immediately, on your way to search for Billy, ignoring Jonathan shouting something after you.
The halls are filled with Hawkins High students, most of which know you. You give them all your best peppy smile, even throwing in a wave to a few of them, you loved being a cheerleader but sometimes it was exhausting having to smile so much, especially when half of the student population never expected to see you in anything but a happy mood.
You find Billy at his locker, which wasn't too far from Jonathan's. "You forgot this, Hargrove." You say, pulling his coat out of your bag, hoping that nobody would take it the wrong way since he still didn't want people knowing about you guys yet.
Billy turns, surprised to hear your voice, he looked you up and down, amused look coming across his face. You tried not to stare at the bruise under his jaw, it was darker than it had been last night. "It's still a bit warm out for a turtleneck, isn't it baby?" He asks quietly, leaning on the locker door slightly. He smirks as your face turns red, you hold his coat out for him. He pushes your arm back to your chest, you furrow your eyebrows at him.
"Keep it, i like the way you look in it." He says, a soft smile on his face as your face turns redder. You notice someone stop just for a moment as they pass. He had thought about it all night, trying not to notice the look of hurt cross your face when he had reminded you that he didn't want people to know about you guys being together. He was afraid of what would happen if people knew, but he was even more afraid of losing you by making you feel like he was ashamed of people finding out, and he could tell by the look on your face that that was beginning to happen. Besides, he was tired of fucking you in his car, he wanted to take you out on actual dates, and go to all of your football games to watch you cheer, he wanted to sneak into your room late at night like a normal person, and even though it terrified him, he wanted to meet your father like a man, not someone that's been fucking his daughter in the back of his car almost every night. "Besides, it'll keep that Byers boy off your back, I hear he likes to steal people's girls away." He sent a look to Jonathan, who was open mouthed staring at the two of you from his locker, Nancy by his side.
You roll your eyes at him, holding his coat to your chest, breathing in his cologne slightly. You loved the way he smelled, and you'd be lying if you said that you didn't sleep with it in your bed last night. "Jonathan is a good friend, he's like my brother now that my dad is dating his mom." You say, but you understood what he was saying without actually saying the words. You honestly couldn't have been more excited, you were practically vibrating in your shoes. "Are you sure?" You whisper, cocking your head at him quizzically. You didn't want him to feel like you were pushing him.
Billy rolls his eyes at you, he hated that you were so selfless sometimes, willing to living so unhappily just so he could be comfortable, but it was also one of the things he loved most about you. "Come here, I miss you." He says, hooking his finger into the collar is the turtleneck to pull you closer. He pulls you in for a sweet, gentle kiss, knowing that almost everyone in the hallways had turned to stare at the two of you. He pulls away, finger still in your turtleneck but pulled down a little. He sees the bruises and his eyes go wide, face paling. "Oh shit, baby, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to hurt you.." He whispers, pulling the shirt back up so no one would see. "Why didn't you tell me to stop if I was doing it that hard?" He asks, closing his locker to walk you to yours.
You blush some more, smiling up at him. "Because it didn't hurt that bad, I liked it." You say, deciding to put his jacket on as you walked, making him hold your bag so you could. You actually were cold though, despite everyone's teasing. "I'll have to skip cheer though, I have to wear my hair up..or just put my uniform over my shirt, we do that in the winter anyway..I just didn't think to pack my uniform turtleneck."
The day at school was awkward, and after waiting at Billy's car for Jonathan and the kids to get out, you gave him a deep, longing kiss good bye, damn near spitting out an i love you when Jonathan started honking his horn at you. "I'll call you later!"
You run to his car, climbing into the passenger seat, smiling at Will and El in the back. "Family dinner right? Im starving." You say, situating yourself. You notice Jonathan hasn't started driving the car and you turn to look at him only to find him already looking at you. "What?"
"Billy Hargrove?" He asks, a little unbelieving. "Billy Freaking Hargrove is who you've been sneaking out at night to see?" Okay so you had told him that you'd been seeing someone, just not who you'd been seeing. "Your dad is going to flip his lid, i think he might actually shit bricks when he finds out, y/n."
"I'll handle my dad, Jonathan." You say, looking at him pointedly. "I wasn't planning on telling him tonight, I need to butter him up first." You purse your lips, thinking. You figured you'd have to play a card that you hadn't played in a long time, daddy's little princess. "So, that being said, leave Billy alone he's a sweetheart on the inside, he's just a little rough on the edges."
You ignore Jonathan's scoff and stay silent the rest of the ride, happily getting out once you reach the Byers' house. You could already smell the food cooking and your mouth watered, your stomach growling in response. "God i love it when Joyce cooks." You say, walking into the house.
You make your way to the kitchen, setting your bag down by the kitchen table. "Hey," You say giving the woman a side hug from where she stands at the stove. "Ooh is that my favorite?" You ask, she leans s against you, happy smile on your face.
"It certainly is, how was your day?" She asks, and you grin. You planned on telling her about everything later, she had definitely become like a mom to you and you wouldn't mind the advice you knew she could give. "Oh? What's that grin for?"
"I'll tell you later." You say, going towards the living room, giving her a wink. She just chuckles and turns back to the stove.
You play with El and Will for a couple of hours, different board games coming and going, Will joined in on a few as well, the two of you often made it too intense with your sibling rivalry. You were just about to beat him in candy land when your father walked in.
You jump up immediately and head to him. "Hey dad, how was your day?" You ask, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. You didn't notice the look that Jonathan, Will and Eleven all shared with each other or the one that your father gave you.
"Uneventful, thank god." He says, patting the top of your head with one of his beefy hands. "Smells good in here, Joyce!"
It wasn't long before you all sat down for dinner together, you and Jonathan had even helped set the table, you sat across from him, next to Will as everyone started digging in.
The table was quiet for a while, until Joyce decided to make conversation. "So, how was everyone's day?" She asks, looking around the table before landing on you. "Y/N, you seemed like you had a good day.."
You notice Jonathan's shit eating smirk and you glare at him, trying to silently tell him to keep his mouth shut. He stares directly at you as he speaks. "Oh she definitely did, you seemed awful cozy with that Billy Hargrove in the hallways this morning, you were giving him back his coat rig-ow!" You kick him harshly under the table, your strong legs making rough contact with his shins.
"Oh?" Joyce asks, eyebrows furrowed. You notice your dad turn to look at you as well. "He gave you his coat? That's sweet."
You shake your head, your cheeks flushing. "It was nothing really, we did a project together the other day after school and I got cold so he gave it to me, I was just giving it back is all." You say, going back to your food. Jonathan makes a noise and you kick him under the table again, making the silverware shake.
"You sure it was nothing?" Your father asks, looking over you with those quizical eyes that always seem to know everything is a lie. You just nod at him, a mouth of food.
Your father doesn't say anything else, and neither does Jonathan. You decide to help Joyce after dinner, and start helping her wash the dishes. It's warm in the room, and subconsciously you pull at the neck of your shirt trying to give yourself some air, not realizing that Billy's fingerprints were on full display like that.
Joyce is mid sentence, talking about something that you weren't particularly playing attention to, and she stops abruptly, looking at your neck. You quickly snap the turtle neck back into place and excuse yourself to go use the bathroom.
You run down the hall, wondering how much of it she had seen. How the fuck were you supposed to explain that?
"Shit!" You hiss, turning in the bathroom sink so no one would hear you. You calm your nerves, and after a few moments you decide to go back out and act like nothing had happened. As soon as you step out of the bathroom you're dragged across the hall to her room and tossed in, the door closing behind you. "What the hell, Joyce?"
She flips the light on, looking at your worriedly. "Y/N, why are there fingerprints on your neck?" She asks, walking towards you. You sit on the bed, you knew you were screwed. You feel her fingers play with the collar is the shirt for a moment, almost as if she was scared to see it before pulling it down all the way rolling it so it would stay put. "Jesus Christ, these are from both hands..who did this to you? Was it that Billy that Jonathan was talking about? Jim! Jim come to the bedroom!" She yells, you try to stop her, but he's already in the room before it's too late, thinking something had happened.
"What?" He asks, looking around for danger. His eyes land on you and they go wide. "What the fuck, y/n,?! Who the hell hurt you like that? Im going to kill that fucking Hargrove boy-" He says already making his mind up about the situation.
He turns to leave and panicked you tell him to stop. "Daddy, stop!" You say, standing up from the bed. "Nobody hurt me, especially not Billy, he wouldn't ever do that okay?" You say, tears welling in your eyes at the thought of your father going to beat the shit out of him, you knew Billy wouldn't stand a chance.
Jim and Joyce share a look. "What do you mean?" He asks, taking his hand off of the doorknob. He was trying very hard not to be confused by your words.
You look at him, at both of them, your mouth opening and closing as you try to find the right words to say without embarrassing everyone in the moment. "I, um..gee how do i say this.." You say to yourself, looking down at the floor before taking a deep breath and giving both adults a sheepish sort of look. "I..well, to be quite frank, i liked it, okay?"
Both of them were completely confused for a moment, and it seemed to click with Joyce quickly. "Oh..oh.. alrighty then that's..more than I needed to know." She says, fidgeting awkwardly with her close as she tried not to look you in the eye, she didn't actually think that that would ever come out of your mouth.
Your father was taking a little longer, but you could see the wheels turning in his brain as his eyes start to widen. Suddenly he's pointing at you, one hand covering his mouth in shock, fear? maybe disgust? You couldn't quite tell. "Oh my god that was you last night.." He says, the realization finally coming full circle. "What the fuck were you doing out of the house?" He asks before his eyes wide farther. "What the fuck were you doing in the back of Billy Hargrove's car?! Oh Jesus don't actually answer it!" He says when he sees your mouth open. He slides a hand over his face, looking at Joyce almost panickedly, you can see his chest rising and falling almost rapidly, you wondered if he was hyperventilating. "I..I need to sit." He mutters, sinking onto the bed. Joyce takes the spot next to him, and you decide that now is probably a good time to go.
You sneak out of the room quietly and back down the hallway. Everyone is gathered in the living room and then to stare at you. "I think I broke our parents.." You say, not noticing Jonathan's wide eyes, you had forgotten to roll your shirt back up. "It's not what you think!"

First Day
Tumblr media
Pairing: Peter Ballard x Reader
Summary: First day in Hawkins after officially adopting Eleven
Warnings: Mentions of food. Some 80's misogyny. if you see anything else, please tell me!
Masterlist
You parked the car in the driveway of your new home, a two-story house in the woods that surround Hawkins, Indiana. You turned your head to look at Peter, smiles on both of your faces, realizing that you had made it, had escaped the lab with Eleven safely if your backseat. You then turned to look at the small girl, who smiled back at you.
“You ready, El?” She silently nodded, smile still intact. Peter took his seatbelt off and left the car. He then opened Eleven’s door and helped her out, encouraging her to “explore” the new house. 
You left the car and hugged Peter, taking a moment to breathe it all in, to finally let it sink in that you had left, the three of you were safe in what is going to be your new home. “Let’s go, love, I want to see the inside of the house.”
Because Peter and Eleven were trapped inside the Lab, you had been the one that bought the place and everything inside of it, furniture, clothes, and food. You both walked inside, hand in hand, ready for the next chapter of your lives. 
For dinner, you had let Eleven choose whatever she felt like having, not feeling like cooking after the exhausting day you had had. She had shown a particular interest in the box of Eggo waffles inside the freezer. You gladly taught her how to use the toaster, and smiled at her excitement after they jumped out after the timer went off. 
You grabbed maple syrup and blueberries and placed them on the table, in the center of the table where plates forks and knives had already been set, by Peter. You sent Eleven to wash her hands and offered to help her. You couldn’t see what they were doing, but Eleven’s giggles could be heard from the kitchen, which made you smile again. 
Dinner was a combination of calm conversation, Eleven’s new love for the waffles, and at the end, soft yawns followed by small denials of her being tired. Once the dishes were placed in the sink, a problem for later, you both showed Eleven to her new room. When decorating, you hadn’t been sure what Eleven liked, so you decided to paint the walls a light blue, with a white twin bed covered by a soft pink comforter. Your plan for the week was to take her shopping to look for other things to decorate her room, to make it hers. She had been grateful for the bedroom, which in a sense made you sad. You had seen the bedrooms of the children a few times while working in the lab, the white walls with the metallic bed that looked extremely uncomfortable, joined with cero decoration and cero signs of a child sleeping in it. 
Once you both tucked her in, you led Peter to the bedroom you were going to share. Just like Eleven’s, the room was almost bare, except for the bed, two nightstands, the closet, and the connected bathroom.
“You’ve done an amazing job, sweetheart.” You turned around to look at Peter, a small bashful smile once you saw his eyes full of adoration. “The house is incredible, El loves it, I do too.” 
“Thanks, Pete.” He walked forward and hugged your waist from behind.
“I can’t believe you got the adoption papers so quickly and the marriage certificate.” Small butterfly kisses were being placed along your jaw, lowering to your neck. 
“Those are lawyer secrets.” 
“Of course.” You moved your head to the side, allowing more space for Peter. “Let me see your ring again, then we can celebrate.” 
The next morning you woke up in an empty bed, Peter’s side neatly made. You groaned a bit and looked at the time. It was too early for a Saturday, the small alarm clock glaring at you with those red numbers that clearly stated that it was 7:45. 
You could hear a ruckus being made downstairs, probably Eleven and Peter making breakfast, or plotting to invade the world, from the sounds of it, it could even be both. You got dressed and went downstairs, mentally preparing yourself for what could be on the first floor. 
Peter and El were sitting at the kitchen table, drowning waffles in syrup. They were sitting side by side, giggling at the obscene amount of sticky liquid El was pouring on the food. 
“Waffles again?” Both of them turned around, surprised by my sudden entrance. “We’re having something different for lunch, no complaints.” Your walk to the kitchen was interrupted by sudden knocks against the front door. You looked at Peter warily, who then stood up slowly and followed you to the flat piece of wood. 
You both visibly relaxed once you saw the neighbors from the closest house. You had met the Wheelers only once, once you were given the keys of the house.  Karen Wheeler, was a mother of three, married to a weird guy named Ted. They had a son that you believed was the age of Eleven, but you weren’t fully sure. Once you opened the door, Peter and you were greeted by the five of them, a Casserole in Karen’s hands.
“Hello, Y/N! Welcome to the neighborhood, officially.” You kindly smiled and introduced Peter to the rest of the family.
“Hi Karen, thank you! All of you, come in, take a seat.” You led them towards the living room and signaled them to sit down. “This is my husband Peter, and our daughter Elaine.” Peter shook Ted’s hand and waved at the rest of the family. Eleven had left the table and had made room for herself between Peter and you. You didn’t miss how she gripped Peter’s pant leg and held your hand. The gesture made you melt and at the same time brought you down, reminding you how she felt unsafe when surrounded by other adults that weren’t you or Peter.
“Hello, Elaine. How old are you sweetheart? You look like Mike’s age.” Karen looked straight at her, and Peter could sense her nervousness, so he replied to her. 
“Elaine is about to turn 12, in about a month.” You held Eleven’s hand tighter and smiled down at her.
“Oh, then you’re just as old as MIke. Are you starting school on Monday?” You looked first at Mike, who looked extremely uncomfortable, and then at Karen. 
“We were going to homeschool El until next year, then she’ll join them,” Karen nodded slowly, and then bumped Ted’s shoulder, probably to make him ask something.
“So, erm, Peter, Karen tells me you work for the law firm, that's why you moved to Hawkins.” Peter looked at you, unsure what to say, considering Ted was very confused.
“No, not really. Y/N is the lawyer, for now, I’ll just be teaching El.” Peter and you could sense the Wheeler’s confusion, it was palpable.
“You do not work, Mr. Ballard?” Peter shifted in his place and smiled.
“No, not right now. I guess you could say we’re a modern family.” You knew it was meant to lessen the tension, but it seemed that it only made it worse. 
“That’s so interesting, Mrs. Ballard, you went to law school?” The oldest daughter, Nancy, looked up at you, interest covering her features. 
“I did, I studied psychology and then applied to Harvard Law.” Nancy seemed more interested now. Karen could sense her daughter was going to flood the new neighbor with questions, so she moved the conversation to another topic.
“We brought a chicken casserole, as a welcome gift.” You walked forward and held the glass container.
“Thank you so much, Karen, just now we were discussing our lunch options.” You walked to the kitchen, o leave the dish on the counter. While you were gone, Karen tried to arrange a playdate for El and Mike. 
“Mike and his friends are going to play together this afternoon, would you want to join them, Elaine?” Mike seemed to sink deeper into the couch, and you could feel Peter growing protective over Eleven. 
“Mom, we have a D&D party planned, I can’t just out of the blue invite Elaine.” Peter looked at you, unsure what to do with the current situation. 
“Mike, honey, they just moved here, include Elaine in your plans.” If you were being honest, you were also unsure about Eleven hanging out with a bunch of kids the day after leaving the lab. 
“Thank you for the invitation, Karen. Elaine and I might go for a bit so that she can meet the rest of the kids. We wouldn’t want to impose, it seems like they have a plan already set.” Mike seemed relieved at your input. You didn’t want to force Eleven to be with a bunch of kids she didn’t know, and you didn’t feel confident about her being there alone. Thirty minutes to meet the other kids seemed more than enough. 
“You and Peter should both come, that way you can meet the rest of the parents.” You kindly smiled at Karen.
“That sounds splendid, give us a time and we’ll go.” 
Once the Wheelers decided it was time for them to leave, Nancy approached you. “Hell Mrs. Ballard. I wanted to ask you something.” 
“Of course, what is it?” 
“So, I write for my school’s paper, and we have an empty section for this week, and I was wondering if I could interview you?” 
“That sounds fantastic, of course. When would you want to do it?” 
“We could do it tomorrow? If that’s okay?” You kindly smiled at her, while slowly walking towards the door to bid the family goodbye. 
“I’ll be at home tomorrow all day, I have some stuff to get in order before I start tomorrow at the firm.” 
“Great, is after lunch fine?”
“It’s perfect.” Once at the door, you waved goodbye to the family and slowly closed the door. You turned around to see Eleven’s quizzical look.
“What is school?” You looked at Peter, silently asking him if he wanted to take that one. He kneeled in front of the girl so that they could meet eye to eye.
“El, a school is a place where children go to learn. They learn to read, do math exercises, history, biology.”
“Can I go?” You rubbed El’s back gently.
“Well, school can be a bit overwhelming, so for a bit, Peter is going to teach you everything you need.” 
“If you want, we can start learning how to read on Monday. I’m sure we can find cool books we can start with.” 
“Books?” You walked forward and kissed Peter’s hairline, taking your leave. 
“I’ll leave you two curious creatures to solve the mysteries of the world. Honey, I’ve got some books in my office, boring lawyer stuff, but I’m sure they’re good enough for a quick introduction.” You then gently kissed El’s buzzed head and went into the kitchen.
After lunch, you both left Eleven at the dining table, with a set of crayons and a few sheets of paper. 
“Y/N, are you sure about going to the Wheeler’s later?” You and Peter were in the kitchen, cleaning the dishes from lunch and breakfast.
“Not 100%, but if she feels uncomfortable at some point, I’m sure she’ll tell us.” 
“Are you sure?”
“We’ve created a safe environment since day one, during our time in the lab. If you want, we can tell her that if she wants to leave, at any moment, we will go, that she doesn't need to worry.” You dried your hands with the towel beside you.
“Quick change of topic. Did you or did you not notice the looks Karen was giving you?” You slowly approached him, wrapping your arms around his waist. 
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I was too busy looking at my incredible wife and amazing daughter.” You looked up and arched an eyebrow.
“So you did?” 
“It was extremely uncomfortable. I cannot believe her husband didn’t notice.” Peter lifted a now dry hand and stroked your cheek softly.
“Ted is a weird guy.” He kissed the tip of your nose. “I think we were all uncomfortable when he asked about your job.” Peter then placed a loose strand of his hair behind his ear.
“Hawkin’s a small town, I’m confident I’m the only househusband in all of Indiana.” 
“Make that all of America.” You then kissed him, and then again. “But that’s what makes you the best. I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive husband nor a better father for El. You’re so understanding, and patient, also very empathic.” Peter brought you closer to him, making any space between you inexistent. 
“What about you, fancy lawyer? I could tell Nancy Wheeler was impressed, very impressed. You’re such an amazing role model for El, she’s going to learn to never get stepped on, to stand her ground, and to never feel discouraged in any professional field.” You blushed and looked down, but Peter was quick to pull your chip up with his thumb and pointer. 
“Let’s just say we’re both pretty great.” 
While this intimate moment, you hadn’t realized that Eleven had left the dining room to show you her masterpiece. She had decided not to interrupt the scene. Eleven didn’t understand why, but seeing you and Peter, made her whole body fill with warmth, and appreciate her new family. 
Her masterpiece was simple. Three stick figures, A very tall one, a short one in the middle, and another tall one. Behind them, there was a simple house with a chimney and a tree beside it. 
Once you noticed her, you invited El to stick her drawing to the fridge. And the masterpiece stayed there, for a very long time.
Author's Note: So, this was my first time writing for Peter Ballard. I started writing a whole piece explaining their origin story, but it was getting very long and with little plot, o I decided to write this instead.
I want this to be like a different universe from the series' storyline. This piece is meant to happen during episode 1 season 1 before the boys played D&D.
If anyone wants another installment of this, send me a request and I'll see if I can make it fit with the storyline I have right now.
I've been thinking about writing a piece with Max, El, and Y/N when they go dress shopping for that winter forml they had. Stuff like that.
If anyone has any ideas they would want to read, feel more than invited to sent it to me and I'll see what I can do.
I hope you liked this first part and that you like the parts to come.

Part 1
Summary : Things were going great between you and Eddie, but he's been a little distant you and you finally find out why. It takes a turn when you confront him and things aren't so good between the two of you. When Eddie leaves to live his dream as a rockstar, he comes back to visit Wayne to find out you have moved on, and your happy without him. How are you going to react to seeing him back? Will everything work out? Will there be romance between the two of you?
Angst
He stretched his arms out as he stepped out of the bus that stopped right by the trailer, squinted his eyes as he looked around.
He could hear the engine from the bus and the nearby swing his neighbor had that kept squealing like the bolt was ready to come out.
The door swung open from the trailer and out stepped his Uncle, he hasn’t aged a bit but Eddie had messier wild hair, smudged eyeliner underneath his eyes and a scruffy beard added to his face.
His arms are filled with tattoos, even his hands which wasn’t missable. He still looked good, at least that’s what the girls were telling him. 
“ It’s been too long, boy. Get over here” Wayne says as he opens his arms for his nephew. Eddie’s eyes widen with as excitement as he raced up to his Uncle and embraced him with his arms.
Eddie gripped the back of his uncle’s shirt as he buried his face into Wayne’s shoulder. He couldn’t believe he was back at Hawkins, back home and where he missed it the most.
The rockstar life is what he always wanted but there was a part of him that still thought of you. Have you moved on? 
“ It’s good to be back” Eddie says as he stepped back from Wayne’s arms. Wayne took a good look at him and his eyes got teary. 
“ Look at you Mr. Rockstar” Eddie laughed as he looked down at himself. 
“ Did you get my letters?” Wayne nodded as he laughed. 
“ Every one of them and those damn stickers you added from every city you’ve been. Boy, you know damn well I keep everything you ever made me or bought me in a little box on the shelf” 
Eddie didn’t know what to say. He was speechless and filled with love. There was that lingering question he wanted to ask. 
Wayne could see the look on his face waiting for him to talk about it. About you. 
He glanced down at his boots as silence over took the two. Wayne had been smoking a cigarette as he leaned against the wall. 
“ Is she doing okay?” Wayne dropped the cigarette on the ground as he stomped on it. 
“ Yeah, she’s doing just fine” Wayne answered as he looked over at Eddie. Wayne didn’t really know how to tell Eddie you’ve moved on and your much happier now. It was like a whole new world had opened up for you. 
Eddie nodded his head.
“ So boy, tell me all the food you’ve been talking about through your letters? Where did the other boys drag you?” Wayne thought it would be best to stir the conversation away from you and into something else.
He didn’t Eddie coming back to ruin anything. He was going to find out anyways. Eddie’s eyes brighten as he chuckled and began telling Wayne what he exuded in the letters.
He could see the mood change in Eddie. 
Wayne was happy to see Eddie back but he wasn’t sure Eddie was going to handle what’s about to come his way. 
-
It’s been a couple years since Eddie has left for his dream, you heard he has a house in California or somewhere, you don’t remember the name.
Wayne had came into the diner to check in how you were holding up. The first few years without Eddie had been hard and you had cocooned yourself in your room.
You have missed him quite a lot, and the hurtful part was you had to hear it from Wayne that he had been sending him letters and there was no source of contact with you.
It was like he erased himself out of your life and didn’t want to exist in your world. You haven’t forgotten his face or his name as you slowly got back to your feet, there was one person that held your hand through it all.
He had seen every single side of you and held you on the nights where you had trouble sleeping.
From his chestnut fluffy hair to his brown eyes to his moles to his mom stands to his smile to the way he handles himself, to the way he cared about you, to the way he made sure you never stopped laughing to the way he turned into your favorite person.
Steve Harrington became your rock. 
He watched as you rounded around the tables making sure everything was alright with the customers and their food.
He had a towel over his shoulder with his arms across his chest while a smile placed on his lips while some of his hair hung in front of his forehead, he had outgrown his facial hair a bit. It did quite suit him and made him look older.
Steve never imagined in his life catching a girl like you as his.
You were Eddie’s girl and he never thought you’d even look his way.
But he became your person, your person that held you up high when you needed someone and he became the person that glued your heart back together. 
“ Would you stop staring at your girlfriend and pour us some coffee, man?” Steve was too busy to pay attention to you that he couldn’t hear the giggle from Nancy as she sat in front with one hand supporting her head while the other looked over at you then back to Steve.
“ He’s in love, let him be” Nancy says.
Dustin sighed as he stabbed a fork with his pancakes. He was grumpier than usual since Susie had to go back home, to pack since she was going to be moving here with Dustin.
His curls still buried with a cap on his head as he stared down at his plate mumbling underneath his breath. 
“ You have customers, Harrington! We need to be served!” Robin put two hands around her mouth as she shouted to grab Steve’s attention.
Steve finally broke his gaze away from you and looked over to Robin with a glare. He took the towel off his shoulder as he wiped down the counter. 
“ There is no need to shout, I’m right here Robin” he says rolling his eyes. You had now walked around the counter and standing next to your boyfriend.
“ Hey guys” you greeted your friends, taking the mug that has been sitting behind Steve.
“ Coffee?” 
“ Finally some good service” Dustin says. 
“ Oh shut up Henderson” Steve rolled his eyes. 
“ Don’t fight, take it outside if you need to “ you kissed Steve’s cheek as his blushed when your lips met his cheek. 
“ Steve wouldn’t even last a fight with anyone. Remember Jonathan? Remember Billy?”Mike asked.
You looked over to Max at the mention of her brother, she hesitated on eating her breakfast but continued as if nothing happened.
She was still mourning her brother after everything that had happened in Hawkins, to your friends and now that everything was back to normal, you knew she missed him.
Even if he it was a jerk. Your hand places on top of her in comfort. She looks up giving you a small smile as a thank you. You hadn’t even heard the door opened until silence fills the diner causing you to look up. 
There he stood with his hair frizzier than ever, his brown eyes locking on your figure and his arms were filed with ink.
He had the smudge of eyeliner underneath his eyes and a beard that seems to stare right at your face.
He stood there next to Wayne who shot you an apologetic look. 
The chairs had turned around and both Mike and Dustin stood up from the chair as they gasped at the sight of their friend. 
“ Eddie?” Dustin asked. “ Holy shit” he got off the chair racing towards him. Eddie couldn’t stop staring at you. Eddie’s eyes move to the figure besides you, Steve from the looks of it. He looks a bit different than before. 
“ Dustin?” Eddie asked as he dropped his gaze to the one who was speaking to him.
Dustin had that toothy smile he had and those curls. “ Man, I’ve missed you so much” Dustin throws himself into Eddie’s arms as he embraces him. 
“ I miss you too” Eddie hugs him back but in his prevail vision he can see you running to the back with Steve heading there too.
The diner has gone silence because everyone’s head turned at the sight of Eddie Munson standing there. Since the band got signed, Eddie Munson has became a whole different name to Hawkins, Indiana. 
“ Is she with Steve?” Eddie asks as his eyes linger on the door you walked through hoping you’d pop back in to greet him with a warm smile but the door remained shut.
He turned his head towards Wayne who stood by his side with a guilty look on his face.
He didn’t want to mention to Eddie that you have moved on to Steve of all people. Eddie never imagined that Steve Harrington would get his girl. 
“ Is she with Steve?” Eddie asked again, this time more louder. 
“ Look son-“ Wayne started to say but Eddie stopped him with his hand up. 
“ Why didn’t you tell me? You’ve been sending me letters and yet not in one of them you mentioned her” Wayne glanced down at his shoes.
He had left out the part that you’ve been coming to check on Wayne every weekend to see how he was holding up withe Eddie being gone and making sure he was fed. 
“ Did you all knew?” He looked to each of his friends and everyone started back at him with a guilty look on their faces.
“ We didn’t want to hurt you” Robin says as she stands up from her seat. “ You left her… and we didn’t know weather it would be good to mention her” 
Eddie nodded his head as his face filled with hurt as he back away to the door.
The squeaky of his boots could be heard through the diner as he turned around and made his way to the door.
The jingle of the bell signal he left the diner and you peeked through the window releasing the breathe you were holding.
You stood up with Steve by your side with a hand of comfort on your back as you looked towards the door and locked eyes with Wayne as his filed with sorrow. 
“ It’s okay” Steve reassured you, “ Eddie is just being Eddie” 
-
Steve was just picking up some things from the store that he needed to make dinner for the both of you when he rounded the corner seeing the mane of curls from earlier making his way towards him it looked like.
Eddie stopped in is tracks once he noticed who stood a few feet away from him.
He eyed Steve in the yellow sweatshirt, he grown a stubble out and his hair out grew from the last time they saw each other. Both of them have changed their looks but it’s the familiar anger in both their eyes that wasn’t missable. 
“ Harrington” Eddie greeted him with an unamused look on his face.
“ Munson” Steve greeted him with a bored look on his face. Steve wanted to side step Eddie but Eddie followed him in his steps and blocking him from going anywhere.
“ What do you want?” Steve huffed out, “ I have dinner I need to make.” 
Eddie eyed the food in Steve’s arms as he tilted his head to the side in wonder what was he making and then remembered he was making dinner for you too. 
Suddenly something overcomes Eddie as he takes a hold of Steve’s shoulders and slams him into a stack of cans of vegetables on the shelf. Some fallen down onto the floor hitting both their feet but Eddie doesn’t mind as his brown doe eyes are filled with rage.
Steve’s jaw clenches as he hisses from the pain from his back. 
Eddie’s nose twitches as he speaks, “ What do you think your doing? With her? Good old Harrington didn’t have all the charm when I left. It worked for her? Did she throw you a pity party and suddenly you went on your knees begging for her?” 
Steve took a deep breathe through his nose and clenched the food in his hands. 
“ You don’t know anything about her anymore” Eddie sneered as the grip on Steve tightened. There was a crowd forming around them as people stopped to look what was going on. 
“ Yeah? You do? Did all mighty Steve Harrington swoop her off her feet?” 
“ She’s mine now, Munson” Steve says as he looks down, “ Let go off me too. Your causing a scene, that wouldn’t be good for your look” Eddie looked around watching as the people crowded and were talking to each other.
He released Steve’s hold but not before pushing him one more time into the shelves. Steve barely got a grip of his footing as he bounced back on his feet, glaring at Eddie. 
“ She’s come crawling back to me, Harrington. I mean look at me” he straightened out his leather jacket, it was nice and a new scent hit Steve’s nose causing him to wrinkle it.
“ I’m the rockstar, and I have everything I could give her. And you? Your time is running out.” Eddie laughed. 
“ Don’t touch her or look at her, Munson” Steve shouted as Eddie walked backwards into the crowd and disappearing out of sight. 
Steve looked around the crowd as he tried to make it through to the register without another glance.
He wasn’t going to let this get to him. Eddie might have the fame and the life he wanted, but Steve has you. That’s all he wanted in his life, someone like you to adore and take care of. 
When he walked through the apartment he shared with with bags in his hands, you sat up from the couch seeing the troubled looked on his face.
“ Something happened?” You could always tell if something was bothering Steve, but he walked to the kitchen to set the bags of food down before taking them out and placing them on the counter.
“ Steve?” You called out his name, he heard it but chose to ignore you because he wanted to start on dinner and he knows your going to bug him until he gives in.
You walked around the kitchen to him and wrapped your arms around his back and leaning your head on his back.He tenses up at your touch and stops taking the things out of the bag as his hands grip the counter.
He has som any words on the tip of his tongue but instead he turns around and wraps his arms around you. He kisses on top of your head. 
“ Just a long day, I need to start dinner” he says. He doesn’t fully tell you the truth on what happened. It’s been a long day at the diner and seeing Eddie at the store.
You pulled away from him glancing up to see his reaction and if he’s lying to you. But Steve turns around to start dinner without another word. You sighed as you tell Steve your going to take a shower, he hums in agreement as he takes out some pots. 
You head upstairs without another word.
-
The Hide Out hasn’t changed much since the last time you were here, there were more people than the drunks that are usually there and your eyes fallen onto Eddie who was busy in conversation with a girl on his left and there was another one on his right that was rubbing her hand up and down his chest. You rolled your eyes as he happily chatted away with them.
Your line of vision got interrupted by a familiar beaming face. 
“ Is that you Y/N?” Gareth asked. He still wore that red flannel that you usually saw him in but it was filled with pins of different bands. 
“ In a flash Emerson” He could not help himself but throw his arms around you as he pulled you into his chest.
He squeeze tight as he hugged you. This caught the attention of Eddie as he watched you interact with Gareth like a happy camper. 
“ Your hair is really soft, what do you use?” One of the girls that he was holding asked him. He pursed his lips and answered simply, “ Shampoo and conditioner” he says while not breaking eye contact as his nose twitched watching as Jeff walked over and threw his arms around you.
It’s seem like the whole band was reuniting with you expect for him. It was like he was just a blank space in your life right now and he didn’t like it. 
“ Is that your girlfriend?” The other asked him. Eddie broke his gaze from you and turned to the girl that asked him. 
“ No, she’s not. Are you jealous little one?” He asks. She grin and gripped his thigh. 
“ I’m sure I can be better with my mouth than she can” she giggled while Eddie laughed asking her to show him. That’s when your head turned to watch as Eddie played tonsil hockey with some blonde on his arm. 
“ Is he always like that?” You asked motioning with your hand towards Eddie. Gareth looked over as he nodded his head. 
“ He’s been on girl left and right, he’s a rockstar. What do you expect?” You scoffed. 
“Gross” you shivered with disgust. Eddie really thought you’d be giving him the time of day as he made out with some girl he didn’t remember her name even.
You on the other hand, was more interested as Gareth talked about one of the places he visited with Jeff and the both of them had such a great time.
“ You should go with us one day” Jeff offered. “ You’d love traveling around the world” 
“ She’s not really the type for traveling” you heard the familiar voice that you dodged every second you count as he sat down across from you with a cigarette in between his lips. 
“ Oh and how would you know?” You finally asked breaking the tension or whatever it was between the two of you.
Eddie was surprised you were talking to him and giving him attention that he wanted from the start. 
“ Sweetheart, you own a diner. You don’t have much going on in your life. You won’t even handle traveling”
“ Last time I checked, Munson, I didn’t ask your opinion and two, you clearly been sleeping with every chick around the world. Who knows what you might have now?” Eddie smirked as he eyed you up and down. 
“ What does my sleeping around have to do with you?” He took out the cigarette from his mouth as he dubbed into the ash tray. 
You glared at him as you held back your answer. You didn’t care who he slept with or kissed. It was his life. 
“ You jealous sweetheart? You want to sit on daddy’s lap?” He asked leaning forward. “ Daddy has plenty of room for you” he winked. You shivered with disgust. 
‘ I have a boyfriend, Edward” he frowned as he remembered that you were dating Steve. 
“ The good old Harrington. What did he do that got you hopping on his cock? Did he beg?” 
“ Oh fuck you, Edward!” You hissed as you stood up from your chair. 
You grabbed the beer that Gareth was drinking and took the glass from his hands as you splashed it against Eddie’s face. He gasped as he stood up feeling the beer drip down his face. 
“ Do you know how much this jacket cost????!” He asked as he shook his hair. Little droplets of beer hit his face you scoffed. 
“ I could care less about your jacket, you’re a jackass Eddie Munson and always were a jackass. I can’t believe I ever could love someone like you” the words cut deep into Eddie’s heart as his mouth hanged opened staring at you. 
He watched as you walk away from the table and out the doors out of the Hide Out. 
“ Very nice, you had to ruin it” Jeff says. Eddie grumbles underneath his breath as he glares at Jeff taking his seat back and stealing Jeff’s beer. 
“ That was mine!” Jeff shouted, Eddie shrugged as he downed it down before wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. He was going to get you to talk to him again. 
The next time Eddie sees you is when he’s standing outside of Wayne’s trailer.
It’s the same trailer that Eddie had grew up in and Wayne never moved away.
There were too many memories inside. Eddie raises his eyebrow when he sees you stepping out of your car with a bag in your hands. Not just one but two.
His eyebrows knit together as he raked his brain trying to figure out why you were here all of sudden. 
As you got nearer, he could smell something good inside those bags and stepped in your way when you were trying to get to the door.
“ Move” you spatted, not bothering to glance at him. You wanted to drop this food off that you cooked from him for the week before getting back to work.
Steve had it handled back at the diner and told you to go what you needed to do. 
“ What’s in the bag, princess?” He asked taking one finger and hooking it on the bag to look inside but you don’t let him look as you snatch the bag away from him. “ This isn’t for you, Eddie.” 
The door to the trailer opened and out stepped Wayne and turning to greet you as he looks over at you from Eddie’s shoulder.
“ Good to see you kid, you didn’t have to bring me anything” he says as he eyes the back knowing what’s inside. Eddie turned his had to glance at Wayne in confusion.
“ What do you mean?” He asks. 
Wayne chuckles as he put his hands on his hips. 
“ She’s been taking care of me, making sure I’m fed while you have been away. A home cook meal does wonders, boy” Wayne says as he reaches for the bags in your hands.
You offer them underneath Eddie’s arm but he steps aside that Wayne has a better grip on the bags. “ This smells so good” Wayne says sniffing the bags. 
“ It’s some of your favorites inside” Wayne pulled away as he smiles. Eddie watches as you two interact, there is a burning inside of him because he didn’t realize you would look after his family even after the two of you ended things.
He always thought that you’d move away from here and live your life out there. 
“ Be sure to thank that boy of yours too, I know he helps you” Eddie growls as he hears Wayne. 
“ Pretty boy cooks too? He’s the whole package” Eddie says. “ You’ve outdone yourself there, who knew you were into good boys like Steve Harrington? Honestly, was it the hair? His chest hair? His car? His lost puppy look when Nancy left him? Was it the desperation flirting? Hm? What did it take for him to get you” 
“ You’re a piece of shit, Munson. You know that?”
Eddie shrugged in response. 
“ Son, what’s got into you?” Wayne says. “ You never were like this”
“ I grew some balls and looked at life in a better picture” Eddie answered with a chuckle.
Your jaw clenched as you glared at him. This wasn’t the Eddie Munson you knew. This wasn’t the man you used to love. 
“ Boy..” Wayne started to say.
“ No, Wayne. Let him be” 
 “ Yeah Wayne, let me be” Eddie shrugged. 
“ Fame got to his head, who knows what kind of things else got to him? Maybe his dick will fall off from how many girls want to hop on it” Eddie chuckled. 
“ You jealous, sweetheart? Sounds like you are. You want a piece of this” 
“ Never in my life would I want to date someone like you” 
“ You already did, remember?” You pushed past him to your car. 
“ That’s right sweetheart, you could never take the heat and you are always walking away. Cat got your tongue?” 
You turned around and made your way over to him. He thought you were ready to come to him when he didn’t know that you were going to do what you were going to do.
His face turned to the side as the side of his face beeted red from your hand slapping him across the face. 
“ That’s for being a dickhead” you looked over to Wayne as he smiled in amusement and nodded as he motioned to the car. He was telling you to go back to work. That he has this. 
Eddie’s eyes blink with tears as he looked back at you and rubbed the side of his face, he wasn’t expecting that. Not one bit. 
“ Do I need to show you some whoopin, boy?” Wayne asked and Eddie turned his head to look at his uncle.
“ I have places to be” he answered him. Before Wayne could get his hands on Eddie, Eddie was storming down and making his way down the path. 
-
You were listing off the special when the bell to the diner rang and you haven’t noticed who walked in.
But Steve did, he stopped cleaning the glass in his hands as he set it down giving a glare off to him.
The squeak of the boots hit the diner floor as he made his way to one of the booth a little in the back to stay hidden from the view.
Steve had not taken his eyes off of him as he set down and his eyes lingered on your back which caused Steve to round to make his way over to you. 
“ Don’t” he heard Dustin speak out from where he was sitting with a mouthful of fries in his mouth. Steve scrunched up his face in disgust. 
“ Okay first of all, don’t chew with your mouth full Henderson. Two, why not?” 
He swallowed the fries in his mouth as he took a drink off his milkshake before answering Steve, “ Better?” Steve nodded with his hands on his hips as he tapped his food waiting for Dustin to tell him why he couldn’t walk up to you and notify you that Eddie walked in through the diner. 
“ Let her face him on her own and she’s a big girl to fight her own battles” Steve huffed as he watched you talk to the customers with a small chuckle.
At the sound of your chuckle it was like everything washed away as he happily sighed giving you your own time to notice Eddie sitting in the corner.
He went back to getting more menus seeing a couple walk through the doors as he set to greet them. 
You were cleaning off the nearby table when you saw in your line of vision the boots, and your eyes traveled up those black pants and eyeing the familiar handcuff belt that he always wore in high school to the shirt underneath he wore to the leather jacket to his fuzzy mane of curls. 
“ Are you done checking me out yet or are you going to serve me?” He asks as he lifts up his head meeting your gaze with a slight smirk on his face.
Your lips turned into a deep frown, as you scoffed making your way over to him and getting out your little small note pad that you always carried with you. 
“ What do you want?” You asked, not really so kindly like with the other customers. Eddie wasn’t like all the others in the diner. 
Eddie leaned back into his seat, “ That is no way to greet a customer. Try again.” He says. You gritted your teeth having a tight grip on the notebook in your hands.
You huffed through your nose really not wanting to do this. You turned your head to meet Steve gaze as his eyes were filled with concern.
It was written on his face if he should come over there to ease things up and pull you away but you shook your head in response knowing what that look is for. 
“ Hello, welcome to Hawkins Easy Eats Diner. What can I get you today?” You mumbled holding a smile wile gripping the pen in your hand tightly. Eddie chuckled as he licked his lips, “ Now wasn’t that so hard, sweetheart?” 
“ Your not the only customer I need to tend to, hurry up Munson” Eddie tapped his finger against his chin thinking on what he wanted.
He took his sweet time as he looked around the diner noticing Dustin was sitting enjoying his milkshake now as he was trying to distract Steve who’s been eyeing Eddie since he walked in. 
There weren’t a lot of people today. Eddie shifted in his seat as he thought about it but his eyes roamed what you looked like at the moment. 
“ If your done gawking at my girlfriend, Munson. Now would be a good time to order or get out” Steve growls as he shouts through the diner. You shoot Steve a look and turn back to Eddie. 
“ I will have a cheeseburger and fries, with a milkshake” He glared over to Steve as you turned around and make your way to the back shoving the slip of paper into Steve’s chest while you cleaned off Dustin’s plate off the table and going to the back.
Steve brushes past you to the grill. 
“ Why do I have to make his food?” He asks while you turned on the sink to soak the dishes in the sink while turning around to face your boyfriend.
“ I saw the way you were looking at him, Steve. He’s just going to eat and go on his merry way and if not, well then I’ll handle it” Steve was about to open his mouth and say something that he was going to handle it. 
“ No, you’re not going to say a thing” Steve was about to say something else when you shook your head. 
“ We’re not going to kick him out, Hopper will be here and we don’t need to get what happened last week” Steve pouted as he mumbled underneath his breath.
Last week he had to throw out Tommy H with Carol from the diner as they threw the food back at Steve telling him he didn’t make it correctly.
Steve was angry at them and they ended up breaking two tables, some glass and ended up hitting someone else.
Hopper had to come down and break the fight up, he wasn’t too happy about the place and it took a whole two days to fix everything back up.
No one was happy that the diner was closed on those two days. Tommy apologized to you and grumbled to Steve while Carol rolled her eyes at you. They haven’t been back since. 
“ I won that fight” Steve mumbles. You shook your head, “ I am going back out there and you stay here and continue making burgers. Everyone seems to love them” Steve grins as he pats his chest. 
“ I’m hell of a cook” you rolled your eyes with a chuckle, “ Yeah, Yeah. Just get back to work” He grins and winks playfully. 
“ Whatever you say, boss” but before you walk out to the front, he catches your arm and bring you back, wrapping his arm around you as he kisses you.
You smile against his lips, kissing him back. You two were caught up in the moment to not bothering to hear the grill hiss as the burgers were burning. Your eyes got wide.
“ Steve!” You pushed him away motioning to the grill.
“ shit” he says as he flips them, “ my bad” his cheeks beet red as he rubs the back of his neck.
You shook your head walking back out taking some napkins from the stack and rifling where it needs to be refilled. 
“ When is my food going to be ready?” You heard Eddie speak out as he drummed his fingers on the table. 
“ When it’s ready it will be ready” you rolled your eyes, grabbing the ketchup and putting it onto Eddie’s table since it was missing. 
“ Do you love him?” He asks you all of sudden. The question does catch you off guard but you answer him. 
“ I do” you nodded not looking over to Eddie as you hurried to the next table to greet the other customers walking in.
Steve walks out with the plate of Eddie’s food as he brings it to you. 
“ I am not bringing it to him” Steve shakes his head as he looks at Eddie who kept waving to him like he was happy to see him when
Steve scoffs and walks back into the back taking the piece of paper you gave him for the next order. You glance down at the burger and make your way over to Eddie, dropping the plate in front of him. 
“ You could of broke that. That wasn’t nice of you” he says. You rolled your eyes.
“ Eat the damn food Eddie and go” the tone in your voice made a flash of hurt cross his face.
You almost felt guilty seeing it but it vanished when he shoved the food away from him. 
“ Put it on the table like a normal person” he demanded. You looked at him in shock from how he was treating you.
He really thought he was in control here when you own this diner with Steve. But everything here was what you worked for and you weren’t about to let some rockstar own it like it was his place. No. 
“ Excuse me? Who do you think you are talking to me like that?” He smirked waving a hand over himself. “ Do you know who I am, sweetheart?” 
“ I don’t have time for your games, eat your food and leave. Don’t forget to leave a good tip like a good boy” he scoffs as he glances down at his food.
“ Place it nicely on the table first and maybe I will” he sends you a wide smilie thinking he won this time.
But you took the plate and placed it down gently on the table, he was about to speak when you took the bun off and licked it before placing it back down on his burger.
His mouth dropped open at what you had done, he scoffed. 
“ Is that good enough for you?” 
“ I demand another burger, tell Harrington I don’t want your germs and he has not make me a new one” He puts his arms across his chest as he pouted in his seat.
His stomach growled in hunger. 
“ I am waiting” he mumbles seeing you weren’t moving from your spot. Steve walked by with a milkshake in his hands.
“ Stevie?” You called out to him and stopping him from walking to the other table around the corner.
He turned to you just as you grabbed the milkshake from his hands.
“ I could do you one better, Munson” The whole diner gasped as they watched you pour a strawberry milkshake over Eddie’s head drenching his curls in the sweetness.
Eddie gasped as he stood up from his seat but the door flew opened with a cheery Chrissy Cunningham screaming out. 
“ I’m getting married this weekend and your all invited” she clasped her arms together before noticing a drenched Eddie Munson shaking with anger. 
“ Oh Eddie, when did you get back?” She asks, sweetly. “ You got a little something” she points out. 
“ You don’t say” he sarcastically says. Her eyes follow where you stand and rush over to you. 
“ I want you to be my maid of honor, Y/N! Please, oh please!” She begs taking your hand in hers. 
“ I would love that” 
“ Hello!!!” Eddie waved his arms, “ I am drenched in a milkshake. Someone get me a towel. Dustin, get me something” he waves his arms. Dustin eyebrows scrunches together in confusion and points to himself. 
“ Are you serious, Eddie?” You asked. 
“ Last time I checked, Eddie. I am your friend not your servant or assistant. Get your damn towel yourself and get your head out of your ass because you clearly forgot what it’s like to be a human being and a friend. Go back to where you move to, go back to your music. You’re not wanted here” Dustin’s words hit Eddie like a ton of bricks as he looks around the diner in shame. 
“ You may be living the rockstar life, but you are a huge disappointment to those that cared for you” Max steps in as she glares at Eddie.
“ Especially around this diner, that Y/N and Steve build and worked so hard to make” He looks over to Steve with a guilty look on his face and then he locks eyes with you but your walking away from him. 
“ Y/N” he calls out your name but you don’t want anything to do with him. You had no idea how to feel at the moment. 
“ Just go Munson” Steve says. 
Eddie hangs his head as he hurries out the door without casting another look as you watch him leave the diner. You swore you saw tears in his eyes.
