Romantic love is the best but platonic love just hits different.
Examples:
- "Do you trust me?" "With my life."
- "I love you, you know." "I know."
- "You better come back." "Right back to you."
- "You ever wonder what more life has to offer?" "Offered me you so not really."
- "Got time?" "How's forever?"
- "I've got you."
- "Life got a lot more interesting when you came crashing in."

You guys know my deeply rotted hate for Harringroveson, BUT this won't leave my mind and I need to share before I. Lose. It.
Soulmates AU where you feel each other's pain/share the same wounds (the idea is "you get hurt and your soulmate takes care of your wounds, then they heal on your body too" or something along the lines). Steve got used to the pain coming from his soulmate, burning under his skin. It was daily, but got better when he got into middle school. Billy got comfort in knowing that his soulmate was going through the same pain as him, twisted as it was (but it stooped when he got in middle school, instead his soulmate trying to heal Billy's own pain and he didn't knew what to do with that besides hurting more and more and more). And Eddie has been suffering for most of his childhood, until he moved with his uncle and swore to himself to help his soulmate heal and never get hurt again/add more to the pain that was already there.
Now imagine the fighting scene between Steve and Billy only... Billy feels pain in the same place he punched Steve. With every punch and kick he feels the same pain as Steve must feel at the moment.
Is not that what stops him from hitting Steve, though. Is the fact that someone was taking care of their wounds while they were fighting.
#what's better than finding your soulmate while he kicks the shit out of you? finding you have TWO soulmates in the same moment#eddie has always healed their wounds (billy's from abuse and fights ; steve's from his fights) and took care of them unknowingly he felt#the pain of TWO people#poor guy loosing his shit cuz he couldn't feel his face during that fist fight between steve and billy#billy doesn't get flayed. he instead feels the pain from the russians hitting steve and gets to the mall ASAP and finds Dustin and Erica#and helps them free Robin and Steve. Meanwhile Eddie is not ok and does his best to heal the wounds. At this point this guy could easily#become a nurse. He knows his way around med kits#Steve and Billy finding something is wrong with their soulmate when one of them cuts themselves and there's no healing from them#next day Chrissy is announced dead and they. are. not. ok.#bi. both of them. Billy and Steve are bi btw. Eddie is gay cuz that's how I headcanon him#the theory sinks when Steve gets hurt in the Upside Down and there's no healing from their soulmate.#OK BUT IMAGINE BILLY IS WITH THEM WHEN THEY FIGHT VECNA AND SUDDENLY HE STARTS FEELING PAIN AROUND HIS NECK#AND LOOKS AT STEVE BUT HE'S FINE. THEN THE PAIN GETS WORSE AND STEVE LOOKS AT HIM BUT THEY ARE OK#And the pain starts to be all over the place and it doesn't click. They are happy their soulmate is ok and they help the girls kill Vecna#and once they do... the pain gets even worse. Only then they start to get worried because is not normal pain- is the same burning pain#that Steve felt from the bats#I love myself. So much angst. You could do so so much more angst with it#harringroveson#stranger things#stranger things eddie#eddie munson#stranger things steve#steve harrington#stranger things billy#billy hargrove#the fact that my other post in my drafts is me explicitly stating that I hate this OT3 with a passion is so fucking funny to me rn

Steve wakes up to a beeping noise- a heart monitor. He struggles to open his eyes, turning to squint around the hospital room. Something about it feels off, though he can’t tell what.
A woman stumbles in, almost spilling her coffee. She looks familiar.
“Hey,” Steve tries, only to end up coughing. His throat is painfully dry.
“Steve!” She exclaims. She hurries over, swapping the coffee for a plastic cup of water. She carefully holds it to his mouth for him to drink. “You have no idea how happy I am to see you awake! I know we can’t talk here but… fuck, man, you really had us scared for a minute. Promise me you won’t do anything like that again!”
“I promise?”
“Oh! Eddie finally woke up too! Just the other week. He keeps asking about you, I should go-”
Steve is only more confused. There’s only one Eddie he knows and that Eddie wouldn’t be caught dead worrying about someone like Steve. Not unless...
“Munson?”
“Duh. Oh! Nancy! I was supposed to- you’re ok, right? I’ll just be a minute!”
“Yeah, sure.”
She throws him a thumbs up, darting out the room, calling for Nancy.
His head throbs. He’s not sure what is going on, what happened… maybe that thing in the Byers house did get him after all? Maybe this is just a dream.
"Ah, Mr Harrington," a nurse greets with a warm smile. "It's good to see you awake. I'm just going to check your vitals and all of that stuff, then we'll need to go over some questions. Does that sound alright?"
"Questions?"
"You've been asleep for a few weeks. We need to make sure that everything up there is ok." She lightly raps her knuckles on the side of her head.
Despite how light she's trying to be, Steve feels a sinking in his stomach.
"Is that possible? What- what could be wrong?"
"Nothing too serious. You're speech is clear and legible, you're conscious and cognitive." She lifts the clipboard off the end of the hospital bed. "You remember your name?"
"Yeah," he says. After a moment, he realizes; "oh! Right, sorry. Steve Harrington."
"Date of birth?"
"April 29th, 1967."
"Do you know what todays date is?"
"Um... how long have I been out? You said a few weeks, right?"
"Almost three weeks, yes."
"Three weeks, so that would make today... December 4th?"
She doesn't respond for a moment. The way she keeps her eyes on the clipboard feels too calculated.
"The year?"
"Uh... 1983?"
She only pauses for a moment, before continuing to ask simple questions about current events, how he's feeling, where he feels any pain or discomfort.
He lies when she asks if he remembers what caused him to be hospitalized. He's not sure what the story Nancy and Byers will give. He can't imagine people... involved, would want the truth out. And he's not willing to risk whatever consequences will come with that.
"I'm going to talk with your doctor," she finally says. "I'll be one minute."
"Wait! What- am I ok?"
"Your doctor will explain everything, don't worry."
Amnesia, his doctor explains.
Three years of his life, gone. They try to reassure him, say that it's still early days and he could completely regain his memory, no problem.
But they don't know. Not really. It's all 'possibly's, and 'maybe's. No guarentee. There's still a chance that he may never remember.
The woman who ran in when he woke up, sat by his bedside and holding his hand in a death grip, doesn't look anymore reassured by their optimism than he is.
"We're... close?" He asks her.
"Yeah," she says, forcing a smile. "Platonic soulmates. It's, um... Robin, by the way. Robin Buckley."
"Do we have that... Mrs Click, you sit behind me, right?"
"Yeah. Yeah, I did." She looks stunned, almost dazed. "I didn't think you remembered, or even noticed me."
"How could I not? You're hilarious!"
"What? We never-"
"Oh, uh, you're muttering. Behind me. It wasn't exactly, um... quiet."
"Oh my god," she slaps a hand to her mouth, eyes wide. "You heard me talk about you!"
"Yeah, like I said; you're funny."
Luckily, someone else bursts into the room, interrupting whatever epiphany Robin is having.
"Steve!" He yells.
The guy looks like a kid, barely out of middle school. But he rushes to Steve, eyeing him up like he's Steves babysitter.
"Uh, hi?"
"Oh no," is the kids response. He turns to Robin. "How much does he remember?"
"He is right here, you know."
"I think some time in 83?" Robin replies, ignoring him.
"Before or after the whole... uh..." He glances at Steve with suspicion, then pointedly to the door.
"Jesus," Steve mutters, rubbing at the crease between his brows. "Did Nancy and Jonathan tell you, or what?"
"Tell us about... what?"
He rolls his eyes at them, pointing to the kid. "Whatever has short stack paranoid. The thing with the-" he flops one hand around, raised towards the ceiling, "the lights."
"Do you remember anything that happened after that?" The kid quickly asks. "At the hospital, and Will?"
"You mean the Byers kid? Isn't he, like... dead?"
"So you... don't remember me."
"Sorry?"
"It's fine," he lies.
Steve hates how sad the kid sounds. He glances between the two of them, both seemingly wallowing quietly about the situation.
"Which room is Munson in?" He asks, breaking the silence.
"What?" The kid frowns. "Eddie? Why?"
"Which room?"
"He's two doors down to the left," Robin answers. "Why- woah! Don't get up! You're still-"
"I'm fine," Steve gently pushes her away, ignoring both of them trying to plead for him to get back into bed.
Despite the bandages, bruises and sick look to him, Munson somehow looks better than Steve remembers him looking. The longer hair definitely suits him.
"Steve?" He frowns. He tries to sit up but, grimacing, he soon stops. "What the hell are you doing up? You're gonna freak Dustin out."
"Dustin? That the kid?" He asks, grunting as he sits on the edge of his bed.
"What do-" he pauses, expressions slowly twisting with the horror and realization. "Yeah. Yeah, man, Dustin is the kid."
"Right. So... um... we're friends now?"
Eddie winces. "We haven't exactly had time to talk about... that."
"What? It's been years!"
"It's not that simple."
"Are you saying that because it's true or because you don't-"
"Because it's true," Eddie rolls his eyes. "A lot has happened since then, Steve. You fell in love with Wheeler."
"What?" Steve can't hide his confusion. "Nancy?"
"Yes, Nancy. You made sure everyone fucking knew about that."
Steve snorts, having to grab at his side with a wince. He bites the inside of his cheek to keep himself from laughing.
"So you're still easy to rile up?" He asks, smirking.
"Wh- you-" Eddie gasps. He tries to sit up again, grunting when he flops back down. "You were trying to make me jealous?!"
He's looking at Steve with disbelief, but he's also smiling.
"Are we friends now?" Steve asks.
"Yeah, Stevie. We're friends."
"Just friends?"
"I don't... Steve, how bad is your amnesia?"
Steve quickly looks away, wincing. "Not... that bad? I remember that- the first time. This, um... monster shit. Falling out with Tommy. And the doctors are optimistic- they're pretty sure I'm going to remember."
"Alright... maybe it'd be better if we talk then, instead of rushing into it now."
"Jesus," Steve frowns. "I really have missed a lot. When did you get mature?"
"Hey-"

Soulmate Marks Steddie AU but instead of like a guitar or dice or something for Eddie they get a nail bat and a nail shield.
Steve had grown up very confused with his soul mark. The crudely made shield with nails wasn't like anything he'd ever seen, normally soulmarks were something that represented his soulmate and helped him find her. People had flowers and sports equipment and things like their name. Tommy had a Christmas Tree for Carol and she had Tommy's favourite car. So what his soulmate was a Viking??? Maybe she was super into history, he signed up for AP history in hopes of finding her, but no luck. His parents hated that he didn't want to cover it up, it's not very feminine, what will people think Steve, but he didn't care He loved his soulmark and his soulmate, whoever she was. He knew Nancy wasn't his soulmate even though she matched the warrior personality he'd created in his head of his soulmate and he wasn't surprised her camera matched Jonathan's notepad and pen.
He kind of forgot about his mark for awhile. Too busy with Upside Down stuff and the kids and Robin and work and his parents always being away. He had a bisexual crisis in the Family Video bathroom with Robin when she said it was ok to like both, eerily reflecting Starcourt.
When it all came back again he swore that he felt something for a brief moment when Eddie pushed him against the boathouse but then there was the lake and Eddie talking about how soulmarks aren't everything if he truly loved Nancy and the chaos of getting out of the Upside Down.
Maybe if Eddie and Dustin weren't always so loud, their laughter cutting through the gloom of the situation, Steve wouldn't have noticed what they were doing. But there they were, battling each other with shields that Steve was all too familiar with. He almost dropped the makeshift molotov.
There was no time to confront this though, they had a job to do, a Hawkins to save. Eddie had stopped him for just a moment and he almost said it then. Oh how he wished he'd said something then, when he'd come back to Dustin's screams, a rush of bloody bandages, a slurring dying Eddie in his arms and a speeding van to the hospital, police be damned.
Steve didn't move from his bedside for a whole week. By then the party had seen the soulmark on Steve's hip, they knew why he was there. Steve had never seen a more beautiful sight than Eddie finally opening his eyes.
"Those bats bit off half my bat tattoo those ironic bastards" was one of the first things Eddie said. Steve couldn't help but laugh, Eddie was still being Eddie despite everything.
"shit they better not have-" to Steve's alarm, Eddie was pulling on the edge of one of his bandages, "oh thank fuck it's still there," and there it was, Eddie's soulmark, Steve's nail bat.
Guess Steve's soulmate was a warrior after all.

crying thinking about Robin walking Steve down the aisle. Both Hopper and Wayne had offered but Steve politely turned them down. Robin is his family. She's his best friend, his sister, his soulmate, he couldn't imagine anyone better to walk him down the aisle. Do they both sob while walking arm in arm towards Eddie at the altar? Yes, but that's ok. They know Jonathan won't take too many pictures of them ugly crying.

“It’s Swedish furniture. How hard could this be?” Steve shrugs and begins separating the small piles of hardware.
Eddie and Robin silently share a look.
“You sure you don’t want the directions?” Robin waves the paper around.
“Pshhh, maybe to make a paper airplane.” Steve puts his hands on his hips in a cocky display of competence.
“Stevie, it doesn’t make you less manly if you use the directions.” Eddie slides to Steve’s side and pats his shoulder.
Steve scrunches his face, “Less manly? I’m not worried about my masculinity over a stupid coffee table.”
“Ok, babe.” Eddie raises his hands defensively.
————————--3 hours later————————-
“Motherfucker!” Steve tosses a wooden leg across the living room.
Eddie and Robin stand in the hallway sharing a bag of pretzels watching their beloved soulmate meltdown.
“Think I should offer the directions again?” Eddie cocks his head.
“Oooooh no, no that would make his head explode. Here, let me.” Robin hands over the bag of pretzels and snatches the directions from the couch.
A minute and a half later the side of Steve’s head gets beamed with something light.
“What the…?” He looks down and sees the directions carefully crafted into an airplane.
He scowls at the wonder twins as they slink away down the hallway out of sight.
“Ugh, fine,” he sighs and snatches the directions, unfolding them roughly.
coffee? ☕️🍩💕

April fools?...🫣😳
Minors dni, smutty funny content ahead, 18+ only please!
Eddie had a plan. He was sure it was going to either be hilarious or he was about to die by either Robin Buckley or Steve Harrington’s hand by the end of the day, but he had a plan. First thing was first though, he had to get Chrissy on board, and that, he was sure, was about to be a challenge. However, as luck would have it she also thought it was a great idea. Well, she thought he was hiding the eggs in the appropriate room, but hey, what she didn't know wouldn't hurt right? Right? Ok, so maybe his platonic soulmate might also kill him, but no one could ever say Eddie Munson didn't commit to the bit.
He strolled into melvads on Friday morning grabbing bags of cheap plastic eggs, and snickered when he saw glitter as well, thought why not and tossed it in his cart as well. When he approached the counter the teenage cashier just looked at him for a moment, rolled her eyes and rang him up. He bought a couple disposable cameras as well, and headed back to his van making his way to his and Chrissy's apartment. When he came in she was sitting in the armchair, near her leg was a couple bags from their favorite fetish shop out in Indy and she grinned at him.
“You think Robin will finally get the clue I'm into her after her Easter gift?” She twirled her hair around a finger, and reached into her own bag laying out a baby blue corset and pointed to his bag, “don't worry I got the things you wrote down for yours.”
Eddie laughed, coming to sit beside her kissing her temple, “I think if anything, she's definitely going to have some thoughts after this.”
((smut under the cut))
They made a night of it going full on fashion show, boudoir shoot. Eddie trusted Chrissy for the more exposed photos, he wrapped himself in nothing but a sunshine yellow ribbon, accentuating every curve, and giving a full view to the thick swollen present he wanted Steve to have most of all.
The photos were developed that weekend, a friend owing him a favor, asking no questions, and Eddie got set to stuff the eggs. Half with photos, the other half glitter bombs. He waited for Tuesday when they'd have their weekly movie night, the one night they all collectively had a scheduled day off and came to Steve's and while Steve showered he got busy hiding the eggs around the house. He had practiced acting innocent when he was anything but, so no one was any the wiser when they all gathered. Robin found the first egg as she and Chrissy went to sit on the loveseat.
Robin looked at the egg confused for a moment before opening it, falling sideways while screeching and throwing the egg at Eddie's head. Steve came rushing over, leaned down to pick up the egg and his face went crimson seeing Eddie in a leather harness and assless chaps. He gulped and looked up at Eddie, and walked back to the kitchen to grab their drinks and then screeched himself, finding another egg Eddie had hidden.
“I'm sorry, I'm sorry!” He said running out and handing the egg straight to Chrissy, refusing eye contact. She looked down to see the photo she's taken riding her toy in the corset, her face going red in embarrassment before standing up and tackling Eddie straight to the floor.
“Edward Nathaniel Kristof Munson! You said they would be hidden in their rooms and only Robin would see me, and that I would win my Birdy! You lied, you, dramatic, overgrown, wet cat! I'm burning your leather chaps, and your new yellow sparkle plug!” Chrissy had him pinned her hands gripping his hair not realizing the absolute bombshell she just dropped as Eddie yelped.
“Chris! Chrissy-bee, love of my life, queen of the world, most beautiful and wonderful best friend of mine, I did it for April fools! She still got to see! And at least this way you know she's going to see it!” He was wiggling under her trying to get away.
“I'm going to put bleach in your shampoo, I'm going to replace all your records with pop music! I'm going to tell Steve about the scrapbook!” She was screeching at him, her tiny frame hid how strong she really was and Eddie was starting to regret this idea. Then he realized, shit, they're still in the living room. All of this was said in front of both of their crushes. Dear God in heaven he did not think this through, at all. Chrissy seemed to come to a conclusion at the same time as Eddie did because they just made eye contact and both stared eyes wide before standing up slowly looking at the floorboards. Disaster gays, that's what they were. Jesus H Christ, Eddie just wanted to disappear and pretend this hadn't happened at all, but clearly now it was way too late. Steve grabbed his hand and his eyes went wide again as he led him into his room away from Robin and Chrissy, he pushed Eddie onto the bed and climbed into his lap pulling Eddie's chin up to look him in the eye.
“You couldn't just tell me the normal way huh? Had to be as dramatic as possible, had to be a little riot and get the blood pumping?” Steve emphasized the last bit by rolling hips down into Eddie's lap as he gasped, “I should make you wait for it. I should punish you for being such a bad boy and showing off. No one but me should have seen you that way.” He nipped Eddie's neck whispering into his skin, “As a matter of fact, I am. Robin is going to yours with Chris, and you Eddie, are going to go around this apartment and get every. Single. Egg. And you're going to open each one so that your photos end up only for my eyes, and Chrissy's will be set in Robin's room. Then you're going to clean my mess you make. And if you do a good enough job I might just let you have a treat.” He licked up the side of Eddie's face who shuddered and nodded, his hands gripping Steve's hips.
Steve slid off his lap and watched Eddie, an eyebrow raised in expectation before Eddie moved to start gathering everything. He opened every one over the trash, that way glitter didn't get anywhere and separated the photos like Steve asked. He rushed around cleaning the house, leaving everything as immaculate and clean as Steve typically had it and stood in the living room his hands clasped behind his back as Steve made his way through the house checking everything was done to his standard. When he came back to where Eddie stood he looked him over for a moment.
“On your knees.” He commanded and Eddie fell straight to his knees, thankful for the plush carpeting under his legs. His mouth was already watering as he looked up at Steve waiting for his next command, “open your mouth and stick out your tongue.”
Eddie rushed to comply and Steve placed his fingers into Eddie's mouth who immediately sucked them in as Steve inhaled shakily still keeping control, he reached other hand up to Eddie's mouth and brushed his fingers over his cheek.
“Was this what you needed? Something to shut you up, make you sink? Fall apart slowly?” He growled, he moved his hands up to Eddie's hair tugging at the strands before pulling him up to his feet and crashing their lips together. “Strip.”
Eddie hurriedly pulled his shirt off, he tripped over his pants but still rushed to get undressed and stood before Steve again who came up in front of him before making his way slowly around Eddie appraising him.
“You're doing so good for me. Such a good boy when you want to be, hmm?” He ran a hand up Eddie's thigh cupping his ass before smacking it once, “This what I need to do for you? Tell you what to do?” Eddie's eyes were fluttering and he was leaking down onto the carpet.
“I can be good for you, only for you. Please, Steve, please.” Eddie panted his hips quivering trying not to rut against the air.
“Do you think you've earned it?” He leaned into Eddie's space whispering in his ear tugging his hair again, “Do you think you deserve me to touch your pretty little cock yet?” Eddie whimpered, he knew he wasn't small but Steve being mean was making his skin light up in the most delicious ways.
“Please, I can earn it. I can be so good for you Stevie. Please, please, just tell me what to do.” Eddie whined.
“Bend over.” Eddie bent over the back of the couch where Steve had led him. “Use this, and open yourself up for me. Don't come until I say you've earned it. Be my good girl.”
Eddie keened high in his throat and got to work opening himself up in front of him, he arched his back and after a few moments was shaking, Steve pulled his hand away to look at his progress and put two of his own thicker longer fingers inside of him. Eddie screamed his name, his head whipping back and arching into the touch.
“So you can be good.” He said moving his fingers in and out quickly, just as he felt him clamping down close to release he stopped, all Eddie heard was the zipper of his light blue jeans and the schlick, schlick, noises of his pumping himself before he buried himself to the hilt bringing Eddie up against his chest, he placed a hand over his throat not squeezing, just resting and bite the junction just under his ear, “Ride me like a good girl Eds. Show me how badly you want it.”
Eddie groaned rolling his hips back against Steve as he felt him all around him, “fuck Stevie, I love you, fuck I love you.”
“I know Eds, I love you too. Now ride my cock like the whore you tried to be in your little photo shoot.” He squeezed his neck softly sucking his earlobe into his mouth rolling to meet his thrusts.
“Steve please, I'm so close, can I come please. Please, sir, please, please, please.” He begged, Steve growled and bit his neck, before slamming into him harder.
“Come on my cock, don't touch yourself.” He panted his rhythm getting sloppy but harder.
Eddie cried out clamping down hard on him, come painting across the back of the couch over the quilt Eddie had bought him for his birthday recently and Steve wasn't far behind.
As they came down Steve still holding Eddie in his arms as he softened he kissed over Eddie's neck, “You're still a little shit. But God, do I love you.” Steve breathed in between kisses, “I want you to be mine. Officially.” He said turning Eddie to face him.
“Stevie, I've been yours for longer than you've known.” He leaned and kissed his lips, “Happy Easter baby.”

🕶️ Pool Party Prompt for - @oneforthemunny Summer writing game
🛑 Smut warning-Mature 18+ minors DNI🛑
TW- Unprotected P in V (Always wrap before ya tap)
Fun in the Sun
Tumblr media
" Ok Shitheads what is rule # 3?"
You sit back on your lounge chair and watch the grilling begin, smirk on your face.
Steve Harrington was one of your best friends, infact so were the band of nerdy 17 year old outcasts that were at this moment being quizzed by Steve 'The Hair' Harrington himself. You were all a little Dysfunctional Family. Lucas Sinclair,Mike Wheeler , Dustin Henderson and Max Mayfield were all the mouthy teenagers, Steve was absolutely the Mom of the group, Nancy Wheeler ,Mikes sister and also Steve's girlfriend was the intelligent Role model of the group, Robin Buckley was the fun but a little neurotic friend and Steve's Platonic soulmate for life and then there was Eddie Munson, your boyfriend and dad of the group although he liked to say he was more like the cool uncle. You were like the older sister that everyone loved and went to for advice because they thought you were cool and fun and less judgmental than Nancy. From the outside looking in you were all an unlikely group of friends ,but quirks and all it seemed to work for all of you.
" Guys! Oh and Max, what was rule # 3?" Steve paced infront of the line of teenagers arms crossed in front of his chest.
" Harrington house party rule # 3, Hands off Party Punch, that is for you guys only. We each get one beer and one beer only." Lucas smiled as Steve nodded his head.
" Your such a kiss ass. " Dustin Henderson huffs as he looks over at his friend.
" You are just mad because I said it and got it right."
" Of course you did dingus, the rule is only two sentences long, if you couldn't remember that-"
" Ok dorks, that's enough. What is rule #2?"
" Absolutely no puking in the vicinity of the pool or the house under any circumstances ."
" Correct Mike, you need to hurl you head straight to the woods. I will not clean up after someone else, especially not puke. Puking within this space will get you banned from any future events being held here at Casa de Harrington."
Steve stopped in front of Dustin and pointed." What is the final and most important Harrington House party rule Henderson?"
" What happens at Harringtons, stays At Harrington's."
" Great!" Steve clapped his hands. "Now that the rules have been reviewed you are all free to party. Remember , one beer a piece- I'm not going to lecture you on the importance of making sure you don't drink and drive because none of you doofuses have a car sooo go ahead, have yourselves a grand old time! Oh and Sinclair, Mayfield I've got my eyes on you, no sneaking away for any hanky panky, got it?"
" Ok Mom." Lucas snarked then took Max's hand and they ran and jumped in the pool together. Mike followed close behind and Dustin chose to do a cannonball directly in front of where you and Eddie were lounging beside the pool causing a huge splash, soaking the two of you and causing a stream of expletives to come flying out of Eddie's mouth.
" Jesus Christ! Goddamn it Henderson! You Little Shithead!" Eddie shakes his head like a wet dog and you laugh.
Steve throws his hands out in front of him." See that is why you guys aren't invited the cool kids parties, only our private 'Family' parties.Your just a bunch of hooligans."
" Are you kidding me? We are the cool kids." Dustin smiles.
You look over at Eddie and smiled. The boy, now sopping wet was a vision. Laying back on his lounger , hands behind his head ,wearing dark sunglasses, light freckles from the sun scattered across the bridge of his nose, beads of water rolling down his tatted chest... he looked absolutely delicious.
" Aww baby, did you get splashed ?" You get up from your chair and stand in front of him, leaning over to lightly dab at his chest, teasing him. You see a slow smile spread across his face and even with his sunglasses on you know he is getting an eyeful of your cleavage. " This is a pool party, you were bound to get a little wet." You smile.
Eddie lifts his sunglasses, his eyes lazily roaming over your body and replies."I bet I can get you wet Princess."
" I bet you can Munson."
He pulls you down onto his lap and kisses you.
" Steve! Will you please tell them to stop being gross? They are scarring me for life !" Mike shouts from the pool.
" Yeah you need to make a Harringtons house party rule #4- no kissing in front of the kids . They aren't setting a very good example. " Lucas complained. "Didn't you say 'No Hanky Panky' ?"
" I think we are setting a great example. This right here, an example of relationship goals." You say as you lean forward and kiss Eddies forehead.
" You tell em Sweetheart."
" Yeah yeah, you guys are perfect, just rub it in." Robin chimed in waking up from her little snooze." Not all of us can be so lucky."
" Yeah, not all of us can be so lucky." Nancy commented, smirking .
Steve turned to face her. " What the hell Nance? We are perfect too-"
" Relax Stevie, it was a joke."
" I'll show you a joke!" Steve ran over and scooped Nancy up in his arms and she giggled and thrashed around. When he got to the edge of the pool he launched her in and she screamed as she flew through the air and hit the water.
The teens all laughed their asses off as Nancy resurfaced and climbed out of the pool.
" Babe, this is a pool party." Steve commented as she walked back to her lounge chair.
" And I am sitting by the pool."
" Well what about when we play Chicken?"
" Robin will be your partner, won't ya Rob?"
Robin shrugged." Yeah, I'll play if you want Stevie."
" What do ya say Munson? You guys want to play a round of chicken?"
" What do you think Princess? Want to take them on?" Eddie smiled.
" Absolutely, although Robin might be tougher to take down than Nance ."
" I have total and complete faith in you Doll." He pat your leg. " Come on, let's show the kids how it's done."
You get up off his lap and he stands behind you picking you up in his arms and running full tilt towards the pool. You both hit the cool water at the same time then pop back up.
" It's a party now, Eddies in the pool!" Dustin smiled. Eddie went over and dunked him and they both laughed.
" That was for soaking me earlier you little Shit." Eddie smiled.
Steve gracefully dove into the pool and  surfaced close to the group. " Why is it a party when Eddie jumps in but not me?" He asked looking a little offended.
" Because you are all rules Steve, no running, no diving, no having fun-" Mike started.
" I never said you couldn't have fun!"
" Steve, you are way more overprotective than my Mom." Dustin commented.
" Fine, Dickheads, from now on I won't give a shit what you do."
" Awww we love you Steve!" The group of teenagers swam over and gave him an obnoxious group hug. The rest of us watched and laughed.
" Alright bozo's get off me. I love you too. Now who is ready to watch this epic chicken battle?"
The kids all screamed and splashed and Robin jumped into the pool. Steve ducked down so that she could climb up on his shoulders.
" Alright Baby, climb aboard!" Eddie ducked down so just his head was above the water.
" I feel like I'm totally going to drown you-"
" Your not going to drown me, climb up-"
" I'm too heavy. Seriously, your going to die with my fat ass up there."
" Respectfully, Sweetheart, I love your fat ass."
You smile." I know you do Eds."
" I fucking worship your body because your so goddamn hot."
" I know baby-"
" Get on my shoulders Doll."
You sigh and climb up. When you are secure he lifts you out of the water like nothing.
" Oh, and by the way, if I died with my head between your thighs, I would die a happy man."
You laugh." Your such a dork."
" Are you guys done chit chatting? Are you chickening out on us?"
The boys clucked and pretended to flap their arms like wings. They really are Little Shits.
" Anxious to lose Harrington?" Eddie snarked.
" Can we get a countdown?"
We lined up in front of each other and you and Robin were giggling as you tried to give each other your most intimidating looks.
"3, 2,1! Let the Battle Begin!"
Steve and Eddie circled around while you and Robin tried to push each other off. You came up with a plan, it was playing a little dirty and possibly getting you guys disqualified but honestly, you wanted a few minutes to sneak away with Eddie anyway.
" Hold up guys, I feel like my top is getting loose, I've got to tighten it back up-"
Everyone's eyes traveled to my bikini top, Robin relaxed and while they were all distracted I leaned forward and gave her shoulders a push.
" Son of a-" Steve and Robin went crashing down into the water. The teens cheered.
" That was sneaky Princess, I loved it!"
Eddie lowered himself back down so you could dismount.
" That may have cost us the win, " You go up behind him and wrap your arms around his waist, and whisper." But maybe that isn't such a bad thing? Maybe we could sneak away to the pool house while everyone is distracted..."
" God I fucking love you."
" Ditto."
Steve pointed at us." You totally fucking cheated, I mean I would expect that from Munson but not you."
Robin smiled." This is the part where he tells you that he's not mad, he's just disappointed." She laughed." I thought it was brilliant."
" No this is the part where I tell them they are disqualified!"
Dustin and Max boo'd and Mike and Lucas cheered.
" That's bullshit, we should win simply because we played with strategy. We initiated calculated moves Harrington."
" Face the facts, Eddie, you cheated. Time to move on." Steve shrugged. "Who is next? Lucas and Max? Then Dustin and Mike take on the winners?"
" Max is going to kill me!" Robin smirked.
" You've got this Buckley, I'm rooting for you!" You pat her on the shoulder then start heading for the stairs."I believe in you!"
" Hey what about me?" Max asked from up on Lucas's shoulders.
You walk closer to them ." You don't need luck, your a total Badass."
Max smiled." Thanks."
You exited the pool then went to sit on your lounge chair. You watched as Eddie grabbed a towel , proceeded to dry himself off then casually entered the pool house unnoticed.
You smiled to yourself, waited until the next round of chicken was underway then snuck off towards the pool house.
" Make sure you lock the door." Nancy said quietly as you walked by, smirk on her face." You wouldn't want to scar them for life if they get out to use the bathroom. Mike walked in on me giving Steve a BJ once and I will never hear the end of it from him. He said I 'ruined his childhood '. Don't worry though,your secret is safe with me."
" Thanks Nance." You slinked away and slid inside closing the door.
Immediately there were arms around your waist and warm kisses on your neck.
" I was starting to worry. Thought you would chicken out." Eddie whispers then nibbles on your lobe.
" I would be offended if I wasn't so turned on right now." You pull away. "Nancy knows what's up, our secret is safe with her. Oh!" You reach over and lock the door. " Just in case."
" Smart, we wouldn't want any of the little pervs walking in and seeing your boobs. They'd go catatonic. " Eddie smiled widely. " Now I, on the other hand," he reached behind you and untied the top of your bikini , watching the small pieces of fabric fall . His dark eye's widened. " I was going to say I can handle it but goddamn, your tits have me in a trance."
You quietly giggle." Are you just going to stand there and stare at them all day?"
" I could, but I won't." He leaned down and flicked your nipple with his tongue, then he runs his hands up your sides then gently cups your breasts in his hands. He gives them a squeeze, then leans down again to lick and suck on them.
" Jesus Christ Eddie."
He slides a hand down along your stomach, then dips it into your bikini bottoms , running his finger down your slit.
" See baby, I told you I would get you wet. " He smirked and slowly circled your clit with his finger, it was setting your body on fire.
You had to bite your lip to hold in a moan. You reached for the waistband of his trunks and pulled them down. His dick was so hard for you. You wrapped your hand around it and started stroking. You heard his breath hitch. "Eddie please-"
" Someone's awfully needy-" he pants.
You cut him off with a kiss, your mouth invading his, your tongue slipping into his mouth. He pulled down your bottoms and you stepped out of them.
" Lay down on that couch sweetheart, so I can fuck you into it. Sound good?"
You quickly lay on the couch and Eddie climbs on top of you.
" Your so fucking beautiful." He smiles down at you and it gives you butterflies.
You reach up and tuck a piece of hair behind his ear. " I love you Munson, but you have been teasing me all fucking afternoon and I think it's time to get down to business."You smirk.
He smirks back." Uh you have been teasing me! But what Princess wants, Princess gets." He pumps at his cock a few times then slides the head up and down your wet slit, purposely bumping into your clit before sliding into your entrance. You quietly gasp. You loved the way that he filled you, stretched you. It felt so fucking incredible. He slowly pushed into you inch by inch until he was completely buried.
" Fuck, your so fucking tight, taking me all in." He withdrew then slammed back into you.
" Feels so good Ed's, keep going, I need more."
He started thrusting into you at a relentless pace, hips snapping, you brought your hips up to meet his and felt him go deeper. You knew that neither one of you were going to last long at this pace, you just needed the release, but it didn't matter because it felt amazing.
Eddie leaned down to your ear, his breath tickling your neck and giving you goosebumps."That sweet little pussy is taking me so well Princess. Taking a fucking pounding, that's my fucking girl."
" I-I'm your girl, Mmmm, I can take everything you give me."
Eddie suddenly changed pace, he slowly rolled his hips , you could feel his cock slowly dragging against your walls as he pulled out then he pushed back in. You wrapped your legs around him and pulled him in closer. Now every time he thrusted he was hitting that soft spot inside you that made you want to cry out.
" Right there baby, don't stop." Trying to keep your voice low.
" You gonna cum Sweetheart?"
" So close Eddie, oh god, harder baby." You moaned into his ear.
He started pounding into you again and you felt a wave of ecstasy wash over you. You threw you head back and you could feel your back arching as your body shuttered beneath him.
" That's it doll . Feels so fucking good," you could feel his hips stutter and you look up to see his jaw clenched , lips tight to keep from crying out. He had reached his climax. His breathing was ragged as his sweaty body collapsed on top of you. You held him, brushing the hair from his neck and lightly placing a kiss.
" I could stay right here all day long." Eddie pushed himself up and kissed your breast, then smiled down at you with a shit eating grin.
You smiled up at him." How can you look so sweet and adorable and have such a dirty mouth?"
" You think I'm adorable?"
You roll your eyes. " Those eyes, those dimples, that smile? Then you open your mouth and tell me I know how to take a fucking pounding. Your so romantic."
" Thought you liked the dirty talk?"
" I love it. You could teach a course in dirty talk. "
" I do have a talent for it, don't I?"
" Your like a naughty Poet. I think that my favorite was the time you said ' You must be an Angel, because your pussy is fucking heaven.' "
" Awww, you remember my work!"
" Your un-fucking-forgettable."
Eddie slowly got up and got to his feet then carefully helped you up. He gave you a slow sweet kiss ." I'm going to hit the bathroom then sneak out. You'll probably want to wait a few minutes while I distract them. I'm just going to cannonball in then start dunking those little shitheads like cookies in milk."
You laughed." So essentially your going to be drowning our friends so that I can sneak out?"
" Sounds mean when you say it like that, but don't worry they love it. The things we do for love." He picked up his trunks off the floor then headed to the small bathroom attached to the 'living area'.
You found you bikini bottom on the floor and you slid them on then re-tied your top.
Eddie walked out and gave you a kiss goodbye. " Listen for a lot of commotion then make a break for it."
" You got it Ed's. Good luck out there."
" Thanks Sweetheart." He smiled then quietly ducked out the door.
You went into the bathroom, tidied yourself up then peeked out the front window curtain.
" Watch out Fuckers , here I come!" Eddie ran then cannonballed , landing right in front of the kids.
They cheered. You chose that opportunity to sneak out. You opened the door and peeked in both directions, then casually started back to your lounge chair when you heard a throat clear behind you.
Shit, it was Harrington.
" Where have you been? Your looking a little flush."
" Steve, it's 85 degrees out , of course my face is going to be red-"
" You look all hot and bothered to me."
" Not anymore."
" Awww, don't tell me you and Munster hooked up in my pool house!"
" Ok then, I won't tell you."
" It's totally tainted now! I thought I said no hanky panky!"
" You told Max and Lucas no hanky panky, you didn't say anything to us."
" It should be an unspoken rule, like don't have sex in my room-"
You bashfully look away.
" No fucking way! Your joking, your just fucking with me right?"
" We were drunk, maybe a little high, the mood hit us and no other rooms were available-"
" Is nothing sacred? Jesus!! You do realize that your boyfriend drives a van,  that's basically a room on wheels."
" I told you, we were high, we weren't thinking clearly."
" Eddie could have been completely clear headed and still fucked you in there just to be nasty. "
" Are you implying that I am nasty?"
" That's not what I am saying." Steve sighed.” Now I am going to have to burn my mattress, it might have Munson jizz on it-"
" We didn't have sex on your bed, what do you think we are, animals? We had sex in your chair."
" That makes me feel so much better."
You walk over to a picnic table and grab a cup filled with party punch, then flopped down in a lounge chair.
" Listen up guys! I've got to make an announcement! I am adding a 4th rule to Harrington's house party rules."
There was a round of collective groans.
" Not that you nerds need to worry about this but,Harrington house party rule number #4, no sex in the pool house."
" Do blow jobs count STEVE?" Mike hollered out and you laughed.
“ Jesus Christ Mike it was one time!”
You laughed." Oh shit! Busted!"
Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed!

Platonic with a capital "P" - part 2
part 1 | read on Ao3
“Robin? How comfortable are you with nudity?”
“Very uncomfortable,” she responded just like he expected, without missing a beat.
“Okay, okay.” Steve walked around the room, the phone pressed to his ear. He inhaled and exhaled loudly. “I think I have a second mark, so maybe you have one too,” he blurted out quickly.
The line became silent for a suffocating couple of seconds.
“...what?”
“If I have a second mark, then there’s a real possibility you do too.”
“Okay, hold on.”
Steve couldn’t hold on, he was almost walking on the walls. He was soul bonded to Eddie fucking Munson. He wanted to scream.
“What does that have to do with nudity?”
“I wanna help you look.”
“Excuse me?!” Robin shrieked, forcing him to pull the phone away from his ear.
“Stop fucking screaming, you’re basically my sister. What if it’s like, on your back?”
“Steve-”
“Robin.”
There was a tense silence over the line, and Steve was walking a hole into his rug.
“Fine,” his friend sighed eventually. “You can look at my back, you weirdo.”
“Okay, I’ll pick you up in ten.”
“What-?!”
He hung up before he could hear the rest of her protests. He needed her, his platonic soulmate, right now.
Robin seemed annoyed with him when she slipped into the passenger seat. But he was used to that, it was almost her default state at this point.
“So how did you find out?”
Steve left her driveway and made a turn. Then another. He bit down on his lip and the silence kept stretching.
“Steve-”
“Eddie showed me his.”
Robin frowned at first, but as she eyed the tense line of his lips, the implication of his words sunk in. She started vibrating out of her seat.
“No.”
“Yes. They match. I’m like 99% sure.”
“No!” If he wasn’t driving, she probably would be shaking him like a rag doll right now.
“Yes! I know!”
“Holy fuck.”
“Holy fuck,” he agreed.
Moments later, they entered his house and Robin’s fingernails were digging into his hand, shaking it with the excitement she couldn’t contain.
“It’s like, five moles, here on his nape,” he motioned at the spot. “And I have a lot of moles, right? So I never think about them much. But there are a few of them on my thigh, they’re weirdly symmetrical. And I connected them. And they made a pentagram. And Eddie’s made a pentagram too.”
“I wanna see.”
“I thought you didn’t want me to undress?” he quirked his eyebrow.
“I still don’t, but I’m too fucking curious at his point,” she rolled her eyes as if he was the one being ridiculous right now. Honestly, their whole situation was. Steve thought it suited them, in a way.
They grabbed a couple of beers and ran up the stairs to his room. She motioned him to go on, and he slid down his pants without much thought, showing off his thigh.
“Ok, wow, this is- I would never think that’s a soul mark.” Her eyes widened as she leaned in.
“Right?!”
“You have so many of them already.”
“I know!” He pulled up his jeans and popped open his beer. Robin sat down on his bed, but he couldn’t settle. His adrenaline was still buzzing from the revelation.
“How do you feel about that?” Robin frowned at him, scrunching her nose.
“Honestly, I feel…” he stopped to find the words, looking out the window, at the setting sun. “Light-headed a bit. I have another soulmate.”
“And it’s Eddie.”
Steve glanced at her, blinking like it had just now dawned on him.
“It’s Eddie.”
“How do you feel about that?”
Steve deflated. He looked at his soulmate’s big, sympathetic eyes and sat down next to her.
“I think I’m okay with that,” a smile tugged at his lips as he said it. “Very okay with that.”
Which brought another unfortunate thought into his brain. He groaned, slumping against his best friend.
“How do I tell him I’m his soulmate now?”
B Side: Romantic
Because, about a month ago, Eddie had confessed.
“Hey, so,” he started one night after they had dropped kids from Hellfire. “We almost died, several times.” 
“We did, yeah,” Steve mused, leading his Beamer down the road to the trailer park. They were alone in the car by then. He picked up Eddie along with Max, but she decided to have a sleepover with El.
“Shit kinda reminds you to live life to the fullest. Be yourself and all that jazz.”
“You wanna go bungee jumping or something?” Steve quirked his eyebrow, pulling into the space in front of Eddie’s trailer.
Eddie snorted. 
“Nah, dude, I have enough near-death experiences for a lifetime.” He shook his head. “No, it’s kinda more complicated.”
“Okay? Well, we’re gonna support you, whatever insane ideas are going in that metalhead of yours,” he reassured lightly but surely. Not like Dustin didn’t have a new ridiculous plan of his own every week. Their little apocalypse group was just a bit unhinged like that.
Eddie smiled at his words, but then slumped in the car seat, drumming on his thighs nervously.
“I like you,” he said softly, looking away.
Steve turned towards him, confused.
“Okay... I like you too.”
But Eddie was shaking his head, his hair following the motion and shielding his face.
“No, dude,” he sighed. “I’m bisexual. I mean it in a… crush kinda way.”
“Oh.” 
Steve’s eyes widened in surprise, but Eddie had turned to an anxious mop of dark hair by that point. His grip on the steering wheel tightened, and he didn’t know what to say. Is this how Robin felt when he confessed?
“Yeah, so like, I don’t expect anything? Honestly, not getting beaten up is enough for me,” Eddie laughed dryly and Steve winced. “I just want you to know because I don’t wanna hide and lie anymore. I’ll get over it eventually, and I hope we can still be friends.”
There was a hopeful question there, though Eddie still wasn’t looking at him.
“Dude, it’s fine,” he assured, even though it didn’t feel completely fine. “I’m still friends with Nancy,” he reminded, hoping Eddie won’t remind him about the complexities of that relationship. “We’re gonna be okay,” he finished like it was an obvious fact, one of the unbreakable rules of nature. He hoped it was.
“Okay, yeah.” Eddie managed a thin smile and finally, finally, looked at him. “Thanks, dude,” he said, pulling on the door handle. With his confession out, he was vibrating out of his seat, eager to leave.
“Hey, Eddie!” Steve stopped him before he could slam the door and leave Steve alone with his thoughts.
“Yeah?” Eddie leaned back in, visibly nervous. He was biting his lip and his eyes kept darting towards his trailer. Like he was measuring the distance between, and the time it would take to cross it.
“I’m flattered, by the way,” Steve grinned.
Eddie rolled his eyes, but his body sagged with relief.
“Maybe you are the one who should get his ego in check,” he raised his eyebrow, joking back. Everything was okay.
“Who do you think Dustin got it from?” Steve’s grin turned into a cocky smirk.
Eddie shook his head and slammed the door shut and stepped away, the familiar buzzing energy back in his step. Steve chuckled to himself as his friend waved goodbye, disappearing quickly in his trailer.
*
“Listen, I know that you care about me, but your romanticism sometimes freaks me the fuck out. Like, the lengths you can go to,” Robin whined while tying her hair up as per her friend’s request. 
They had just finished a way-too-long debate about the possibility of soul marks hiding on someone’s scalp. It ended with Robin stating loudly she was not shaving for no soulmate. 
“Suck it up, Buckley. Like you’re not curious yourself.”
She was. It was the only reason she was humouring him. Maybe there was another mark she should have been hiding all along.
They agreed to do it gradually. Only taking off as many layers as was necessary. So at first Steve closely scrutinized her nape and her arms, inch by inch, while she drank her beer to dampen the embarrassment of the bizarre situation.
“Nothing suspicious,” he decided after checking behind her ears. “So, um…”
Robin let out a long sigh, putting into it all the annoyance and anxiety she felt.
“I’m gonna take off my socks and roll up my pants,” she offered.
Steve nodded eagerly, making her roll her eyes, her lip twitching. He reminded her of a little puppy whenever he acted like that. 
She finished off the beer, crumpling the can and throwing it into the trashcan before pulling her foot up, taking off the sock and exposing her calf as far as the jeans would allow. Then she threw her leg into her friend's lap while she worked on the other.
“If you tickle me, I am breaking your nose,” she warned, pressing her heel into the meat of his thigh in a silent threat.
“Noted,” he nodded, already inspecting her ankle with a delicate touch. She threw the other leg over his thigh and slumped back, resting on her arms and watching.
It felt weird to be touched like that, where nobody ever touched her before. What a travesty it was her best friend and platonic soulmate and not a cute girl. At least it wasn’t just some guy, and she wasn’t being forced into an unpleasant situation.
A sudden loud intake of breath startled her from her thoughts. Steve’s thumb pressed softly into the sole of her left foot, and she instinctively jerked it away, eyes narrowing.
“What did I say about tickling,” she hissed, but his hands were grabbing her foot back and pulling it closer to him, eyes wide like saucers.
“Robin.” Her name was like a reprimand, a call and a prayer all stirred into one sound. She frowned, now concerned and curious. They were looking for a soul mark, after all. “What is this?” His thumb brushed against the spot again, and she wrenched it from his hands to look for herself.
She frowned at the pale mark on her foot.
“It’s just a scar. I stepped on a clam when I was little.”
Steve sat up on his knees, excitement sparkling in his eyes. 
“It looks like a moon.”
Steve was pulling at straws, and it was starting to annoy her.
“It’s a coincidence. It’s just a scar,” she tried to wave him off.
“Do you remember getting it?” he pressed on, not letting her dismiss the idea.
“Of course,” she scoffed, but under his hard gaze, she huffed and looked away. “I think,” she admitted with a frown.
“You think?”
“It’s what my mom has been telling me. I was too young to remember.”
“What did she tell you?”
Robin scrunched her eyebrows, searching for a long-forgotten tale from her childhood.
“She said it was the during the summer we spent at my aunt’s place,” she recollected. “That I got it from walking barefoot in the river all the time.”
“So she doesn’t have a concrete incident in mind?”
“Guess not.”
They stared at each other for a long time. To Robin’s horror, a wide smile crept on Steve’s face. She scowled.
“Stop that. At least I won’t have to-”
“I’ve seen it before.”
Robin closed her eyes. There was an unpleasant pressure building in her temples as she fought against the hope Steve was trying to instill in her.
“What are you saying?”
“I’m saying that I’ve seen girls naked, I’ve seen a lot of soul marks.”
“To the point, Casanova,” Robin growled, opening her eyes only to glare at him, but his smile was unwavering.
“One of them had a little moon near her armpit.”
“Since when do you like suspense so much? Am I getting a name or what?” The rollercoaster of emotions and Steve’s giddiness were getting to her, and she could feel her anger spiking.
“I’m not sure if you’re ready for her.”
“You know what, I’m not sure if you even remember her name, and now you just don’t wanna admit it.”
“Well, maybe I’m not gonna tell you, if you’re gonna treat me like a slut,” he scoffed, albeit playfully.
“Steve-”
“It’s Nancy. Nancy Wheeler has a moon-shaped soul mark.”
*
“I’m gonna puke.”
“Is this how coming out feels like? I hate this.”
Robin and Steve had been spiralling for the whole week, brainstorming how they should come out to their soulmates. It was Friday afternoon, and they just hung up from confirming the hour of their double date at the local diner. The problem was, the other two didn’t know it was a date. To them, it was just a casual hang-out between the older Upside Down survivors.
“Pretty much,” Robin nodded awkwardly with her head on a pillow next to Steve. They were laying on his bed and staring at the ceiling. 
“Maybe we should invite them over? This isn’t-”
“We’ve been through this,” Robin cut him off wearily. She wasn’t even annoyed by this point because they had gone through it a million times, and both of them were okay with repeating it however many more times needed to calm their nerves. “We start it in a public location to hang out and chill. Then we move somewhere more private to talk. Nowhere Upside-Down related, and not inside, so we don’t feel cooped up, and we’re on common turf,” she recited what they’d agreed on. 
“I know.” 
They sighed in unison.
“What are you gonna order?” Robin decided to find something harmless to discuss, to take their minds off worrying.
“A chocolate milkshake,” Steve answered without a thought, because what was the point of going to a diner and not getting a milkshake? Robin agreed with him. “And some fries, maybe nachos. If I get anything more than that, I might puke. Wouldn’t be very seductive of me.”
Robin snorted at that. That was another one of the bullet points in their debates. Since Steve knew about Eddie’s crush on him, he was going to shoot his shot. He’s been subconsciously seducing him for the past month already anyway.
Robin’s objective was to come out and not lose a friend. She didn’t let herself be hopeful, even if Steve and his belief in soul marks were trying to fight her on that.
“You?” he threw the question back at her.
“Man, I don’t know if I can even handle the milkshake. Maybe I’ll just get water.”
“Dude.”
“Sparkling? With lime?”
“We could share the milkshake. And fries too,” Steve offered. It’s been like that for the past few days - finding solutions and stopping each other from spiralling.
“That wouldn’t be very double-datey, you know?”
“So?” Steve shrugged, turning his head towards her. Feeling the shift of his pillow, she turned as well. “We’re soulmates, we can do whatever the fuck we want.”
She nodded slowly, considering his offer.
“Sure, I guess. I don’t want chocolate, though.”
“Strawberry?”
“Strawberry,” she agreed.
They looked back at the ceiling before asking each other what they were gonna wear and reciting to each other their painstakingly picked outfits. The clothes had already been laid out, waiting on the back of Steve’s chair.
The sun was still setting when they went about their evening routines and forced themselves into an uneasy sleep.
*
At the diner, everything was going smoothly for a while. Except Robin was sickly pale like she was going to run into the bathroom and make good on her vomit threat at any second. She hadn’t even eaten breakfast.
“You still want that milkshake?” Steve leaned closer to her, eyeing her with worry. She nodded stiffly.
Nancy was sitting across from her, her eyebrows scrunched in concern as well. She hesitantly reached across the table to get Robin’s attention.
“Do you want some candy? Or chewing gum?” she offered. Robin looked up at her and after a moment of hesitation nodded feverishly.
“Yeah,” she croaked, and it was the only thing she managed out so far other than a greeting.
Nancy reached into her purse and held out a bag of lemon candy and a small pack of mint gum, raising an eyebrow. Robin pointed at the candy, so Nancy popped the bag open and held it out to her to grab one. 
“Thanks,” she mumbled around the candy, sucking on it greedily. Steve squeezed her knee under the table.
“No problem.” Nancy smiled reassuringly. 
Eddie simply watched them in silence, an uncommon occurrence for him that stirred Steve’s insides with worry.
When their waitress arrived, Nancy and Eddie ordered normal meals, while Steve got the agreed-on fries and milkshake. Robin got enough grip on her vocal cords to ask for a glass of water.
Eddie raised an eyebrow when he heard Steve’s order.
“Not chocolate?” he asked. 
It was an innocent question, and it wasn’t hard to notice Steve liked chocolate stuff and always ordered them when given the choice. It still made his skin warm to know Eddie remembered. He shrugged, pretending not to be affected by the attention.
“Robin said she wanted to share.”
“Chocolate’s too sweet,” she stuck out her tongue to make a point at which the tension finally loosened, breaking out an argument about milkshake flavors instead. Eddie sided with Steve, at which she commented boys were just children with a sweet tooth, but everyone agreed to boo Nancy when she said she liked vanilla.
“There’s not even real vanilla in there, it’s just like, sweet cream,” Robin scrunched her nose.
Nancy only shrugged.
“It goes nice with a shot of espresso or two,” she defended, at which everyone perked up in interest.
When their orders arrived, Nancy ordered an espresso because now everyone wanted to try her concoction, and Eddie slid his milkshake towards Steve.
“Have some,” he offered, almost shyly. “Wouldn’t want your sugar levels to drop.”
Steve grinned at him, seeing his opportunity.
“You saying I’m not sweet enough for you?” he raised an eyebrow, his tongue flicking against the straw before he wrapped his lips around it, knowing full well Eddie was about to use it.
The boy’s eyes widened, but he quickly composed himself.
“Just hoping everyone else faints from the amount of sugar.”
And I get you all to myself, went unspoken.
Steve snickered, passing the milkshake back to him. Eddie eyed the straw, his cheeks reddening, before he took it into his mouth. As Steve watched him, he felt Robin kick him under the table. He kicked back.
Nancy sipped some of her plain, boring milkshake to make room for the espresso when it arrived. She poured it in and used the straw to mix it before pushing it towards Robin, who took a cautious sip.
“Holy shit,” she said, eyes widening in surprise. “This is actually good,” she admitted, pushing the glass back. “They could make this a regular.”
Nancy smiled happily at the approval. She pushed it towards Eddie next but held her glass before he could reach for it.
“Use your own straw. I don’t want your nicotine breath on it,” she said, scrunching her nose.
Eddie shrugged, unfazed, and reached for the straw poking from his shake.
“Fair enough,” he agreed. He took a sip and smacked his lips loudly, humming. “Good. But I’d add even more coffee,” he made his verdict. 
Before he could pull out his straw, Steve reached for the coffee shake and used it for himself.
He hummed in approval, eyeing Eddie’s reddening cheeks.
“I’d add some chocolate, and it would be perfect,” he decided, pushing it back to Eddie, who finally pulled out his straw to dump it back into his shake.
“What if you just added espresso into the chocolate shake?” wondered Eddie, making Steve gasp.
“Genius!”
They talked about possible flavor combinations for far longer than appropriate, their fries diminishing in size visibly.
“So uh,” Nancy dipped a fry into the puddle of ketchup, not looking up from it. “You guys wanted to talk about something?”
Eddie straightened up next to her, eyeing them.
“Yeah,” Robin winced. “But not here,” she took an involuntary look around, at the other patrons. 
Nancy nodded, her forehead wrinkling slightly with worry.
“It’s just a short drive to the park if you guys don’t mind,” Steve spoke up, offering a location they’d discussed with Robin beforehand. 
The other two looked at each other shortly before nodding in agreement. 
The tense atmosphere from the beginning came back tenfold from then on. The conversation attempts didn’t lead anywhere, as Steve and Nancy seemed to be the only ones trying to force something out. Their friends seemed lost in their thoughts, only grunting half-assed responses.
They finished their food quickly and split the bill evenly in four, with Steve paying for himself and Robin. Eddie stood up from the booth like it burned him and stepped out first to have a smoke before they take off. Robin excused herself to the bathroom, and Steve and Nancy stacked up their plates for an easy pickup. 
They were loading into Steve’s Beamer before any of them were ready for what was to come. Nobody fought for shotgun. Robin was green in the face again and gravitated to the back seat, so Eddie sat down in the front instead. And nobody said a word when he chose the radio station and turned up the volume. Whatever niche genre he chose seemed to be better than any attempts at conversation.
The sun was still up, the heat of midday was slowly dying down, and the park was mostly visited by young parents with strollers and dog owners. The picnic tables were mostly empty, and the four settled around one of them, the nervous energy radiating off them keeping any intrusive ears at bay.
“What is it?” Nancy was the first one to break the uncomfortable tension, her eyes darting between Steve and Robin. “Whatever it is, I’m sure it’s not as bad as you guys make it seem.” She frowned, her mind already running through the worst-case scenarios, which were pretty imaginative considering their history with an alternate dimension. So she dampened her predictions to more down-to-earth ones.
“Are you guys dating?”
Steve winced and Robin let out a strangled snort, though it didn’t make her face any less pale.
Eddie frowned at the both of them, the concern on his face visibly growing.
“Are you pregnant?”
“What the fuck, Eddie?!” Steve’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets while the guy innocently raised his hands.
“Hey, I’m just-”
Robin shot up and ran away, hand over her mouth. All of them rose in alarm, but she simply disappeared behind a nearby bush, retching into the nearest trash can. 
Eddie and Nancy exchanged a confused and concerned look, while Steve seemed to be on the verge of tears. He rubbed at his eyes, exhaling loudly. He low-key expected his best friend to abandon him, but that didn’t make it any easier to deal with on his own.
“We’re not dating, and Robin is not pregnant,” he stated simply, levelling both of his friends with a hard look. “But,” he raised a finger. “We are soulmates. But!” he cut in quickly before anyone could interrupt. “Each of us has another one. And it’s you guys.”
The table was silent for a long bit before Nancy waved her hands.
“But we checked our marks. They are different,” she protested.
Steve was shaking his head ready to correct her, when Robin reached the table, now steadier on her legs and ready for action.
“No, you’re my soulmate. Eddie is Steve’s,” she clarified.
The looks she got were straight from a bad soap opera. Steve kept eyeing Eddie, the way his expressive face went from delight to disbelief to hope to wariness. He reached out his hand, and the metalhead watched it hesitantly before reaching back to squeeze his fingers. 
“You’ve all seen my mark,” he lifted the sleeve of his shirt with his free hand.
Robin recognized her clue and lifted her shirt to uncover hers, matching her best friend’s.
“And this is mine.”
Their friends, soulmates, watched in stunned silence,
“But I also have a moon-shaped mark on my foot,” she admitted, eyes fixed on the graffiti littering the table.
“And the moles on my thigh make a pentagram.”
The hand holding Steve’s palm tightened, nearly to the point of pain.
“For real?” Eddie asked breathily, his eyes huge like saucers. Steve nodded. 
“When you showed me yours, I had a weird feeling I've seen it before. I went home and found a similar cluster on my thigh, tried connecting them and…” he trailed off, shrugging.
Eddie licked his suddenly dry lip, looking at their joined hands. 
“Do you- How do you feel about it?”
Steve slumped forward, elbows relaxing against the wooden table top. He’s been through this. With himself, with Robin.
“I’ve been bonded to a lesbian and a bisexual guy. I know where I have better chances.”
Eddie let out an amused breath against himself.
“But, Steve-”
“I know, but… Whoever bonded me to you must know me better than myself. Because this doesn’t feel wrong. I like the idea of being bonded to you. I feel kind of relieved if it makes sense?” he finished hesitantly.
Eddie shook his head, but a smile tugged on his lips.
“It doesn’t, to be completely honest, but if you’re okay with it, who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth?” He smiled before cocking his head playfully. “So what? When I say I like you, it’s not enough, but when the universe tells you I'm okay, you’re on board?”
Steve tightened his grip on Eddie.
“You’re so enough, Eddie, but I didn’t want to strip you of a potential soulmate who has a better grip on his sexuality, likes the same nerd stuff, I don’t know.” He huffed, frustrated. “I felt like I would be imposing. But since we are actually bonded, I felt like maybe I could be enough for you. If you’ll have me,” he added shyly, uncertain. There were people distrustful of soul marks to the point where they’d reject their soulmates. 
Eddie raised his eyebrows.
“You’re okay with being bonded to a guy, but you wouldn't be okay with dating me, knowing somewhere out there was someone better for me?”
Steve frowned. Was that a wrong way of thinking?
“Kind of?” he offered, unsure. But Eddie was still holding his hand. “I didn’t want to lead you on while I wasn’t sure if I was into guys, but since someone up there thinks I am, then I guess it’s okay?” He shook his head, correcting himself immediately. “It is okay.”
Eddie burst out laughing. Steve instinctively tightened his grip on his hand, but Eddie wasn’t pulling away.
“You’re a dumbass, Harrington,” he summed up and, to Steve’s delight, leaned in and pulled up their joined hands to lay a kiss on his knuckles. “And I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
As the pleasant silence stretched, they became aware of two heavy pairs of eyes on them.
Nancy looked at them with exasperation and relief. Steve wondered if it was the same relief he felt, looking at her now. Like the last particles of their old relationship just evaporated into nothingness.
Robin’s gaze held a heavy wistfulness, almost making Steve feel guilty about finding a soulmate other than her.
It seemed like looking at their friends was easier for them than looking at each other.
"Ugh, you're gonna be insufferable together," Robin groaned wetly, her eyes on the verge of spilling over.
"Yeah. I'm so happy for you,' agreed Nancy with a small smile. Her eyes were trained on Steve, and he reciprocated the gesture, an unspoken understanding passing between them. The relief of finding someone else, the reassurance that their hearts were now safe in different hands, that they could just breathe and be friends.
With that out of the way and Eddie's hand in his, Steve needed to check on his first soulmate. His side pressed into Robin, eyes searching. She wouldn't meet his gaze, her eyes trained on the boys’ tangled palms, tears still threatening to spill over. He tried reaching out, his free hand gently squeezing her elbow. This seemed to bring oxygen back to her lungs as she breathed in and looked up for a fleeting second at her friend, before turning to Nancy.
"Uh,” she winced, looking elsewhere immediately. “It's okay if you don't feel comfortable with it. It's not like you have to do anything about having a soulmate, there is no pressure, no obligation-"
"Robin." Nancy knew already that the fastest way to stop Robin's spiral was to interrupt it. "Do you want to go on a date with me?"
Robin gaped at her.
"Really?"
Nancy shrugged, a shy smile on her lips.
"I've never considered dating a woman before, but I'm not against the idea," she explained. "Besides, Steve got on point soulmates, why wouldn't we work out too? I'd like to give it a shot."
Robin bit her lip, her whole body buzzing in place.
"People aren't gonna like it."
Nancy snorted, her cute face twisting with distaste.
"Honestly, I'm used to it by this point. And it's not gonna be as bad in a bigger city."
Robin gawked at her, eyes huge, like two ponds pulled in by the moon. The implication of Nancy's statement was stuck in her throat.
She seemed to realize it too but only shrugged bashfully.
"I'm aiming high, I'm not gonna stay in this shithole forever."
Watching his best friend freeze up, Steve swooped in, his arm gathering her closer to his side.
"Calm down, Casanova, go on a date first, okay? Step by step," he reminded her quietly with a shit-eating grin. 
She pushed him away, cheeks pink. But he was right. Why worry about the future when there was still a first date to plan?
"Okay, so," she gulped. "Where do you wanna go?"

“I can’t do it Robin, I can’t go and spend all that time in a cabin in the woods with him. Spending a few hours a week with him kills me. You know this, a whole week with him would be torture.” Steve pleaded. 
The ‘him’ in question was Eddie Munson. An alpha who was friends with him, Robin and her omega girlfriend Chrissy. They had all met in school and Steve had harboured a crush on the alpha for sometime. He wasn’t like any other male alphas that Steve knew, he was smart, kind, he wasn’t pushy and was really respectful of Steve during his heats. He never came close, not that Robin would allow Eddie close even if he wanted to. Robin was the alpha that took care of Steve's needs during these times, not those kinds of needs, but making sure he was fed and hydrated and made sure he had an alphas scent in his nest. 
“Who knows what could happen during this time?” Robin asked, just a hint of teasing in her voice. “This may be the push you two need to stop being idiots.” 
“I’m not going Robin. You, Chrissy, and Eddie all have fun out there.” Steve shrugged, continuing to make food for everyone joining them soon. 
Before Robin could answer, Steve's front door was thrown open and the screams of ‘the pups’, as Robin and Chrissy had affectionately named them, could be heard running towards the kitchen. They were followed by ‘dad’, another name given by Robin, Eddie. 
“Smells good in here, what’s mom cooking up?” Eddie asked, coming into the kitchen behind Steve, resting his head on Steve’s shoulder. 
Steve’s breath hitched at the sudden close proximity. “Just some pasta and garlic bread” he mumbled in response, leaning into the touch, he couldn’t help himself. 
“Can’t wait to have some” Eddie whispered before walking away and joining the others causing chaos. 
Steve took a deep breath and turned around “Don’t say a thing” he deadpanned at Robin. 
“I’m not saying anything, other than he does that every chance he gets.” Robin smirked as she grabbed a stack of plates while Steve took the garlic bread out of the oven. 
“Wash up for food and someone set the table” Steve shouted into the living room where the sound of play fighting could be heard. 
“You heard mom, wash up and Lucas you set the table so wash up first” Eddie said, shooing everyone out of the room.
Five minutes later and everyone was sitting around the table and food was being served. 
“This is divine sweetheart, such a natural at all of this ‘home’ stuff” Eddie sighed, taking another bite of the pasta.
“Thank you” Steve stammered, feeling his cheeks heat up. 
It wasn't the first time Eddie had complimented his cooking, or his ‘home’ skills, he did it a lot, but Steve blushed and stammered everytime. His omega purred at hearing a compliment from an alpha that he wanted to belong to. 
Eddie dropped the kids off at each of their homes later that evening, heading to Chrissy’s last. Robin was staying at Steve's for the night.
“When are you going to alpha up and make him yours?” she asked, unprompted. 
“Who Christine? Make who mine?” the metalhead questioned in response. 
“Steve, who else?” she sighed “You two are insufferable. He’s called mom and your dad, you get in his personal space as much as you can. Not to mention I can almost feel your alpha trying to claim him as more time passes with you being so close to him. You’ve been in love with him for so long now, when are you going to do something about it?”
“He’s a really good friend Chris, nothing else ok. He doesn’t want that” Eddie mumbled back. 
“Bullshit. You know his platonic soulmate shares a bed with me, yes? You know she lives with me, correct? We’re not always making out or having sex, we do occasionally talk, you know. Sometimes you and our favourite mom come up in conversation. I happen to know he feels the same. He’s waiting for you, he can’t make a move on you, it’s not the omega way.” The girl pointed out. 
“I can’t provide for an omega and cubs. There would be no point starting something that can’t go anywhere. He deserves an alpha that can provide for him fully.” Eddie replied sadly.
“You’re stuck with him for a week next month at the cabin so please just think about it,” Chrissy suggested. 
This was a conversation they had had time and time again. No matter how many times Chrissy said that times were different now, how it didn’t need to be just the alpha providing, that many omegas worked too, Eddie wouldn’t listen. She knew that Steve wanted him just as bad as Eddie wanted him. Both of them were just being stubborn. 
Tumblr media
A couple of days later Eddie had picked up the pups and drove over to Steve’s, they were all meeting there to have breakfast before they headed to the arcade and then the movies. 
“I need a hand in here people, I’m not doing this all on my own!” Steve shouted as everyone piled into the house. 
“On my way sweetheart.” Eddie shouted in response. “Max, Dustin, between the 2 of you I want the table setting, plates included. Thank  you” he could be heard asking the pair of them. 
“You’re coming to help me make breakfast?” Steve questioned as Eddie walked into the kitchen shrugging his coat off. 
“Yeah, why not. I can cook, I’ve cooked for them before” Eddie responded, the hint of a pout in his voice.
“Not whilst I’m here to cook for them you haven’t” Steve pointed out. 
“Well you wanted help and I’m here to help you” Eddie said, shrugging. 
“Not very alpha of you, cooking,” Steve teased. 
“Not very alpha? Oh i’ll show you alpha sweetheart” Eddie growled, picking the omega up by the waist and sitting him on the counter top. 
“Unhand me you big mean alpha, I am but a tiny omega, you should treat me with care” he giggled, trying his best to now show exactly how being handled like that had affected him. 
“You have no idea how I’d treat you sweetheart” the alpha purred. “Breakfast?” he asked, seeming to collect himself and stepping back.
Steve shook his head slightly and pushed himself off the counter. He was surprised the whole kitchen didn’t smell like an omega in heat with how turned on he was. He’d have to keep a little distance between the two of them for the rest of the day. He didn’t want the other man to know his feelings when they weren’t reciprocated. 
Opening the cupboards to get things together to start making pancakes Eddie mentally beat himself up. He really shouldn’t have touched the other man, he certainly shouldn’t have flirted with him like he did. Would Steve still want to be friends with him if he knew how he felt? He’d have to keep a little distance between the two of them for the rest of the day. He didn’t want the other man to know his feelings when they weren’t reciprocated. 
Tumblr media
The following month Eddie's van and Steve’s car were both packed and ready for the 8 hour drive into the middle of nowhere to the cabin they had booked to spend the week away from civilization. Eddie’s van held all the bags filled with clothes, food and things to keep them entertained for the week and any extra bedding the girls had insisted on taking. Whereas Steve’s car was filled with three out of four of the group going. 
“Right everything is packed up, both drivers know where they’re heading and we’ve got the planned stops along the way.” Steve declared, closing the trunk of his car, “See you in a couple hours then?” he asked, addressing Eddie solely. 
“It’s a date sweetheart, see you there” Eddie winked, walking off to get into his van. 
Just under 2 hours later Eddie parked his van next to Steve’s BMW at the roadside diner they had agreed to meet at. 
“Where’s Steve?” Eddie asked as a way of greeting as he approached the girlfriends sitting in a booth. 
“Don’t worry your boyfriend just went to the bathroom, no need to stress” Robin answered, giving Eddie a shit eating grin. 
“Shut the fuck up Buckley, what if he hears you?” he said, putting his handover her mouth, only to remove it almost instantly with a shriek as she licked his palm. 
“Then maybe you two could move past the mutual pining and get to the boning” Chrissy smiled at him.
“What did I miss?” Steve questioned as he joined them all in the booth. “Drive going ok so far Ed? Not too lonely?” 
“Why do you want to offer to travel with him?” Robin teased. 
“Yeah, I can drive your car if you want?” Chrissy smiled at him. “I was actually going to offer one of you two up seeing as you’re both annoying me” Steve responded before they were interrupted by the waitress. 
Another three hours later and Steve was pulling into another diner parking lot. Stepping out of the car and stretching, he looked around the lot for Eddie or his van. It was nowhere to be seen. 
“You don’t think something happened do you?” Steve said out loud, continuing to look around.
“Worried your big, strong alpha isn’t going to show up?” Robin giggled, poking him in the ribs.
“No,” Steve snapped defensively. 
“Sure, whatever you say, loverboy,” Chrissy laughed.
The three of them went into the diner and were seated at a booth. Looking through the menu the conversation turned once again to Steve and Eddie.
“He loves you, you know. He wants you so much Steve, just say something.” Chrissy pleaded. 
“He’s had his chance if he wanted something more than friends.” Steve shrugged. 
This was a conversation they had time and time again. Steve wanted Eddie, his omega purred when they got close. His omega wanted more than anything to be claimed by the alpha.  
“Hey guys sorry I’m late, I had to pull over to take a piss and got caught behind a little traffic, that’s why I'm a little late. Did I miss anything” Eddie declared as he sat down at the booth with everyone else.
“Nothing, you didn’t miss anything. Just looking through the menu,” Steve spoke up, stopping either of the girls from answering for him and embarrassing him. 
The conversation turned back to the trip, what they had planned for the week, and the wedding that the girls were planning for the following summer. They ordered a round of milkshakes and some fries for the table and chatted away whilst they ate and drank. 40 minutes later they were back on the road a lot more refreshed and less achy. 
Just under three hours later Eddie was driving up the gravel driveway towards the cabin and he was in awe, surrounded by huge trees. Their home for the next 7 days stood on its own. Looking almost as though it had been hollowed out from the trees that surrounded it, the one thing that he could think was wow. 
The inside was just as impressive. Dark wooden beams lining the ceiling and dark wooden flooring gave the cabin a rustic feel. The big log fire and massive comfortable looking couch made Eddie feel as though they really had picked the perfect place. Walking around Eddie found the kitchen and took the bags of food in there, leaving the bags on the side. He wandered around the bedrooms, seeing that Robin and Chrissy had already claimed the biggest one with an en suite. Steve seemed to have taken the smallest, but the cosiest, leaving Eddie with the one in between the two. Further along the hallway Eddie opened another door and found a room with a pit in the middle filled with pillows, blankets and other things to make a nest. 
The gang spent the evening unpacking clothes, games, movies and the food they had brought with them. Chrissy had brought some fairy lights with her as well and Eddie, at 6’3”, had a lot of fun watching the 4’11” girl try and hang them. He finally stepped in when she tried to stack a chair on top of the table she was standing on. After making them all his famous mac and cheese Eddie sat down on the small couch and watched a film with everyone that ended up with Steve falling asleep against him.
The first full day in the cabin saw them all hiking out into the woods. 
“It’s too cold to be out here walking,” Eddie complained loudly, for the 5th time in the last 10 minutes.
“Want my jacket?” Steve offered, already unzipping it ready to take off. 
“Absolutely not,” Eddie growled, zipping Steve's jacket back up for him with a huff.
The group continued their walk with no more complaints from the metalhead. They reached the clearing they had been walking too, sat down on the blankets they had brought with them and set out the picnic that Chrissy and Steve had put together that morning.
“It really is beautiful out here,” Robin commented, looking out over the view they had from where they sat. 
“It sure is,” Eddie replied, very much not looking at their surroundings, but at the fact that the winter sun was shining off Steve's hair giving him highlights and almost a golden halo. 
“Real subtle dude” Chrissy whispered to him as she pushed him over. 
Day one ended similarly to how the evening before had, with good food and a movie. 
Day two was spent playing card games before a shorter walk in the opposite direction than day 1 after a late lunch and then more games late into the evening. 
Lying in bed on that second night Eddie thought about how relaxing those first couple days had been. No stress of work or life in general, just a slower pace and with a lot of laughing and joking thrown in. He fell asleep feeling content and with a heart full of love for his friends.
The next morning Eddie woke up and something felt wrong. His senses seemed heightened and he was instantly on high alert. Day 3 here and something wasn’t right. Eddie cursed his luck, got out of bed and slipped a pair of loose pyjama pants on before leaving his room to search for coffee. 
“What’s going on?” Eddie asked, walking into the kitchen and seeing Chrissy sat on her own at the table. One thing he knew about the girlfriends was that they always drank their first coffee on the day together, it was something they had done since they had become exclusive whilst dating. 
“Erm, I’m not totally sure” Chrissy replied as Eddie was pouring his own mug. 
“Steve has gone into heat, he’s got nothing with him and we can’t leave here because we’re snowed in.” Robin said bluntly, joining the pair in the kitchen. “He’s in the nesting room with as much stuff with my scent on it as possible, i’m not sure it’ll be enough though, he normally has his aids as well but this is a total surprise, he’s not meant to be in heat for another 15 days.”
“I can add my smell to the mix as well if that’ll help?” Eddie suggested. “Can we swap rooms please? I’ll be further away from him, my alpha already senses something.” 
A growl ripped from Robin's throat before she could stop it. 
“Baby, he can’t help it. Yes Eddie, we’ll swap rooms to help the situation.” Chrissy smiled, pulling her girlfriend into her lap and handing Robin her own coffee with a quick kiss on the lips.
Eddie drank his coffee and went to change the sheets off his bed so he could give his to Steve along with a couple of worn t-shirts he had. He got washed and dressed before taking everything to Robin, currently the only person allowed to be close to Steve. 
“Hey dingus, how are you doing? Do you need anything?” Robin asked the omega as she walked into the nesting room. 
“I’m really warm but aside from that I’m doing ok, thanks.” He replied from the pit he was currently rearranging to make the nest his. 
“I got sheets and other stuff from Eddie as well, we thought maybe another alpha’s scent in here may help you.” she stated, handing the things over to the boy. 
“I thought I could smell him stronger all of a sudden, like spiced oranges with a faint hint of pinecones. It’s a very Eddie kind of smell” Steve replied, taking the things off her and bringing them to his face to smell closer, a whine leaving his lips involuntarily.
“You going to be ok?” Robin asked the brunette as she pulled him into a cuddle. 
“Got no choice really” he laughed sadly. “You go and spend time with your girlfriend, ok, I’ll be fine.” 
“If you’re sure. Eddie’s going to be staying away but is it okay if Chrissy comes in?” Robin wondered. 
“Yeah Chrissy can come in” Steve smiled, he really did appreciate Robin checking with him. 
“Either me or her will check in regularly and I'll be back very soon making sure you have snacks and water. Love you dingus” she smiled before kissing him on the forehead, standing up and leaving the room.
The rest of the day passed in relative peace, the two girls made sure that Steve was okay every hour or so, making sure he was eating snacks and drinking water and Eddie stayed away. It was becoming increasingly difficult though. The smell of an omega in heat was getting stronger and stronger, all Eddie’s alpha wanted to do was to claim claim claim. The unmated omega smelt like heaven to the alpha. Like freshly baked bread and sugar. The smell calling to Eddie. He stayed as far away from the nesting room as he could, especially after Robin had threatened to rip his arms off if he went close.
Lying in bed later that night Eddie could hear Steve crying out from the other end of the hallway. His skin was itching and not responding to the cries from the omega was hurting him physically. As the cries got worse Eddie knew he had to do something. 
He got up, threw on his pyjama bottoms and went off towards the nesting room. 
“Where the fuck do you think you’re going?” Robin growled at him as he walked past her and Chrissy’s room. 
“I’m not going to do anything, but I need to make sure he’s okay. You probably don’t feel it but it’s physically hurting me to hear him crying out and doing nothing about it. Please” Eddie pleaded. “I promise I won’t touch him, come with me if you want too.”
“Fine” Robin huffed. “But touch him and I will kill you.” 
Walking into the room Eddie was hit was a wall of scent. The warmth of a body, roses and the sea all combined with the smell of slick hit his nostrils as though he had walked into a wall. 
“Eds?” came as a whimper from the middle of the nest. 
“Yeah, it’s me sweetheart. Wanted to make sure you’re okay.” Eddie whispered into the room. 
“Hurts, more than normal. Need something.” the omega cried. 
“Can I do anything to help?” Robin asked. 
“No Bobby, you can’t.” Steve replied. “Eds can I have a cuddle?”  
“I can give you a cuddle” Robin growled, stepping in front of Eddie. 
“Want Ed” Steve pouted. “Promise it’ll be okay” 
“Okay” She sighed, “No funny business” she said to Eddie before leaving the room, closing the door behind her. 
Eddie walked over to the nest and settled on the edge of it, waiting for Steve to tell him where he wanted him. 
“Just come lie down in here, let me lie on you” Steve whispered. 
Eddie lowered himself into the nest, lay on his back and got comfy. Within seconds he had the other boy laying on his chest and their legs were wrapped around each other. Steve was burning up and this scent was overwhelming Eddie’s senses but he put his arms around the other man and pulled him close, a content little chirp leaving Steve’s lips.
“That feel better sweetheart?” Eddie cooed, carding his fingers through Steve's hair absentmindedly.
“Hmmm, yeah. Hurts a little less already” he sighed, snuggling even closer. 
“Get some sleep then, we can have something to eat when you’re awake if you’re up for it.” Eddie said as he pulled a blanket over the pair. 
The pair fell asleep wrapped around each other. Eddie was woken up a few hours later by only what can be described as a furnace attached to him. 
“Stevie, sweetheart, wake up. You’re burning up” Eddie whispered, shaking the other boy slightly. 
“Ed it hurts so much, I need something to take away the pain.” Steve whimpered, chirps of distress leaving his lips.
“What do you need? What can I do?” Eddie asked moving back to look at the other man as much as he could. 
“Need you,” Steve purred, “Need you to make me feel better, to feel good.” 
Eddie choked back a moan. This was everything he’d ever wanted to hear, but it didn’t feel right. Steve wasn’t in his right mind, he’d say anything to get Eddie to help him. Steve’s scent was overpowering Eddie's senses, he was struggling to keep his alpha in check.
“Sweetheart I’ll help how I can but only with my fingers okay, then we can talk once your heads clearer.” he spoke softly, untangling himself slightly more from the other man. 
Happy chirps came from the omega as he moved to remove the boxers he was wearing. The air around the two became thick with scent. Both the scent of roses, cinnamon and the sweetness of slick coming from Steve and the scent of nutmeg from Eddie who couldn’t help but be turned on by what was happening. Not only did he have the other slightly under him, smelling so beautifully and wanting him but the chirps he was letting out were speaking directly to his alpha. 
“It’s okay baby, I’ve got you” Eddie whispered, moving his hands down Steve's body. 
He found Steve’s hard cocklet and took it between his thumb and first 2 fingers, stroking slowly at first and gathering more speed as the head became slick. The chirps that the omega was releasing in between the moans had the alpha fighting to not swallow them with kisses. He knew he shouldn’t cross the line, what he was doing was purely to help the other feel better, nothing else. 
Eddie took his attention away from the cocklet and moved his fingers slightly further down entering Steve with just one to start with. His hand was instantly wet with slick and he had to bite back a moan, this was a really bad idea. After a desperate whine from Steve he added a second finger and started to curl them slightly moving them in and out at the time same, adding a little pressure onto the cocklet with the heel of this hand had Steve moaning and moving his hips trying to chase both Eddie’s fingers and trying to get more pressure onto his cocklet. 
Speeding up his motions and adding more pressure he soon had the smaller brunette on the edge of orgasm. It wouldn’t be enough to help with the heat fully but it would be enough to provide a chance for them to talk this situation through. 
“Come on baby, cum for me.” he encouraged as he felt the walls around his fingers tighten. 
A few strokes more and Steve was cumming. A loud moan falling from his lips and squeezing Eddie fingers in a way that had him seeing stars. 
“There we go, feel better hmmm?” Eddie asked as he withdrew his fingers, whipping his hand on his discarded t-shirt. 
“Yeah loads better, thank you” Steve hummed in reply, happy chirps following his statement. 
“Let me get you cleaned up and we can get you something to eat okay?” He said he needed a moment to collect his thoughts now. 
Eddie cleaned Steve up the best he could with a warm cloth and towel handed him a bottle of water and got dressed himself. 
“Think you can make it to the table and i”ll make breakfast or do you want me to make it and bring it to you?” Eddie asked. 
“Don’t really want to be separated from you right now, carry me to the table?” he smiled in response. 
“Sure thing”Eddie said, sounding too fond of the other man.
They got the omega dressed into loose comfortable clothing and he was carried into the kitchen and placed gently onto one of the chairs. 
Eddie had just started frying the bacon and cracking eggs into a pan when both girls emerged from their bedroom. 
“Steve! You’re out here, how are you doing?” Chrissy exclaimed excitedly. 
“Yeah I’m feeling better, it’ll come back but I can at least now eat something and maybe sleep a little more” He smiled back at her. 
“What the fuck did you do Eddie?! I Swear to god.” Robin started before Steve interrupted her. 
“Nothing I didn’t want him to and much less than I did okay. He helped.” Steve said sternly. 
“I’ll fry up more eggs and bacon for you two, Chrissy can you start on the toast please? Maybe a couple wholemeal for Steve if that’s okay.” Eddie said, directing the last bit at Steve himself who nodded in response. 
He finished up cooking and served the food. The group talked a little whilst they ate and Robin fussed over Steve a lot, making sure he was all okay. Once all the food had been eaten and dishes all washed Eddie scooped Steve up and carried him to his nest. 
“What did you mean earlier when you said I did less than you wanted?” He questioned, sitting on the edge of the nest. 
“It doesn’t matter” Steve mumbled as he was moving some of the blankets around and making the nest comfy again. 
“If we’re stuck here for another few days with you in heat I think we need to talk about it.” Eddie said, picking at the skin around his thumb. 
“You’re right,” Steve sighed. “I really like you okay, I want to be yours, to be claimed by you.”
“What?!” Eddie squeaked.
“Forget it, forget I said anything. I’ll be ok for the rest of my heat if you want to go” Steve sighed.
“What if I don’t want to go? What if I want to be yours too? To be claimed by you as well?” He asked, finally looking at the other boy. 
“Really?” Steve said, sounding shocked.
“Yes sweetheart, I’ve been stupidly in love with you for more years than I can count. I just didn’t think I’d be a good enough mate for you. I can’t give you a lot.” Eddie shrugged, looking away from the omega again. 
“I don’t give a fuck about that Eddie, you are amazing with the pups and I know you’d be an even better dad to our pups if we had any and that's all I want from a mate.”  he responded, moving towards the other man.
Eddie began to speak “Yeah? You want to be bonded to this good for nothing –”
“Wonderful, respectful, funny, kind hearted, gorgeous alpha, damn right I do” Steve interrupted, holding out his hand for Eddie to take. 
“You’re too much Stevie, I love you so much” he smiled moving as quickly as he could to the omega. “Can I kiss you? Please” “If you don’t kiss me in 30 seconds or less I will kick your ass out of this room” Steve smiled, pulling the alpha almost on top of him before kissing him softly. 
“Alright princess, whatever you want” He said in between kisses. 
“I don’t want the first time we have sex for it to be because I’m in heat. I’m clear headed currently. Can we do it now?” Steve asked sheepishly. 
“Of course,” Eddie replied, laying the other down on his back in the nest. 
Kissing him with more passion Eddie started to make his way down Steve’s body. Peppering kisses along his jawline and leaving a faint hickey on his throat, he moved down to the nipples. He took one nipple in his mouth and the other between his thumb and first finger, breathy moans leaving the omegas mouth with every touch. 
“More, need more,” Steve pleaded. 
“Anything you want sweetheart, anything you want” Eddie said, doing just that and continuing his journey downwards.
Swiftly removing the loose fitting pants the omega was wearing he finally reached Steve's cocklet and gave it a kitten lick causing the other man to whine. He sucked more meaningfully on the cocklet and started to finger him open ready for his cock.
“You taste so fucking good baby and you smell divine. Going to have me cumming in seconds when I finally get inside you, pulling my fingers in so good.” the alpha purred rutting into the nest. 
Once he had 3 fingers in the other Eddie made quick work of stripping off as best he could. 
“Ready for me baby?” he asked, tapping his cock against the omega below him’s cocklet. 
“Please” he pleaded. 
Entering him slowly Eddie stilled once he was bottomed out. 
“Fuck, you feel so good around me, i’m pretty sure i’ve died and gone to heaven.” Eddie babbled. 
He looked down at Steve and was met with an already fucked out expression, his eyes were blown wide and his mouth was slightly open. Starting with a slow roll of the hips Eddie built up a rhythm quickly and was soon fucking roughly into the other man, pushing breathy moans from him. 
“I want you to bite me first if we’re bonding,” Eddie panted, presenting his neck to the omega. 
“Fuck, okay” Steve whined leaning up slightly so that he could bite down and then lick the wound. “My turn now”
“Hold still,” Eddie commanded, using his hands around Steve's throat to make the spot more accessible. “Oh you like that do you? My hand around your throat and me telling you what to do?” he asked. 
“Yes daddy, want it.” Steve whined.
“Fuck baby, can I bite?” Eddie asked.
“Please” he pleaded.
He removed his hands from around Steve's throat and bit down on the bonding spot, breaking the skin. The intimacy of the moment with the slower movement of the hips keeping the two of them close, both men came at the same time. 
“Inside, inside, I want your knot inside” Steve said before Eddie could ask, using his legs to pull him closer, as if to make his point clearer. 
As his knot bullied its way into the omega he noticed he was crying. 
“Shhhh, it's okay, am I hurting you?” he asked, wiping the tears away the best he could whilst holding himself up.
“No it's not hurting, it's perfect, everything is perfect. Now come cuddle me”? Steve asked, making grabbing motions with his hands.
“I agree, it really is perfect” Eddie sighed.
They manoeuvred themselves onto their sides and spooned the best they could. 
“I love you” Eddie said, kissing Steve's hair and pulling a blanket over the pair of them. 
“Hmmm, love you too,” Steve replied sleepily. 
The rest of day 4 as well as days 5 and 6 went as day 4 had started. The new bonded pair fucking through Steve’s heat as well as talking about the future they wanted and one they could make. By the end of day 6 Steve’s heat was over enough and the snow had melted enough for them to leave as planned. Steve let Chrissy drive his car back and he drove back with Eddie, refusing to be separated from his new mate. 
“Munson a word please?” Robin said as they were just about to head off. 
“What’s up”? He asked as the pair walked away. 
“I wanted to make sure it’ll still be ok for me to check in on Steve when he’s in heat? I know he doesn’t need me and I know it’s not fair for me to ask another alpha if I can check on their mate, but it's Steve.” she rambled. 
“Of course it is, I know you won't do anything and I know how important you both are to each other. Pretty sure Steve would bitch you out if you didn’t check in and I'm not going to tell him who he can and can’t see.” he smiled, pulling her into a hug. 
Tumblr media
A lot had changed in the nine months since Steve and Eddie had become SteveandEddie. They had moved into their own place and, with the help of the pups, had decorated it fully, including adding a nursery. That was the biggest change, any day now they were about to become dads. To say Eddie was scared was an understatement. It took him 3 days to stop panicking and then a further couple of months to stop treating Steve like he was fragile. 
It was a normal Thursday afternoon for the pair, neither worked on a Thursday so the pair spent the day together. They had been out for lunch and a walk through the town picking up a few things they still needed for the pups they were expecting. 
“Erm, Ed’s I don’t wish to alarm you any but I think we need to go to the hospital once we’ve brought these.” Steve said, slight anxiety mixed into his voice. 
“Why? Is something wrong? Why are we waiting until we’ve done our shopping here?” Eddie responded, clearly panicked. 
“We’ve got time but these babies are coming” Steve winced through a contraction. 
They rushed through the transaction and headed straight to the car, both very grateful that they had been super organised and had packed Steve's hospital bag into the trunk of the car weeks ago.
3 days later and the new family was all at home. 
“I love them both so much, I would both kill and die for these two” Eddie cooed as they settled Scarlet and Thomas into their cribs for the first time. 
“Me too baby, me too. They’re perfect. Thank you for helping me make them” Steve whispered, kissing Eddie on the cheek.
“I didn’t do anything. They’re all you sweetheart, you created them. Thank you. I love you so much” he whispered back
“I love you” they both said at the same time.

Ok I get that Steve and Robin are platonic Soulmates but like I hate that everyone makes it so Eddie is treated like shit. Like Steve ditching Eddie just for Robin, that would not happen like yes Steve would do anything for her but he would not just leave Eddie. Also Stop making Robin Such a bitch to Eddie like she would not be that rude to Steve’s partner. Like Robin would totally be the Friend that calls Eddie and Steve her mom and dad. And Eddie would totally stay the night at Wayne’s or a friends house so Steve and Robin could have alone time because HE IS A GOOD GUY!

Robin and Eddie force themselves to sit down, alone, together. They're both the most important people in Steves life, his romantic and platonic soulmates, and they're determined to be friends... if only they had anything in common.
In the end, they accept that their humor and Steve is probably all they have in common but that's ok too. The kids and other young adults don't quite Understand™ Steve- not the way they do- and they realize that it's great to have someone who does, someone they can start a story with and have respond "oh, Steve did the Steve-thing again, didn't he?"

We're back with another soulmate AU cause I'm a sucker for them.
Steve had never known a time when the names of his soulmates weren't on his wrists. One platonic, one romantic. Some people were born with two romantic although rare, some born with two platonic, some with just one and some with none.
Steve couldn't wait to meet his soulmates, as a kid he told his mother that his soulmate was going to be the prettiest girl in the world and that his best friend would be the coolest guy ever.
He knew his parents weren't soulmates, his mother's soulmate had died when she was young and his father didn't have anything in his wrists. It didn't matter to Steve though, they weren't around much now that he was older.
He waited all through high school to meet his soulmates, Tommy and Carol had met each other in middle school and he wanted what they had. As the years went on, his parents grew distant, his world became more about popularity, he slowly forgot about his names. He went through girls with the hopes of filling the void inside of him.
It wasn't until one Nancy Wheeler didn't fall for his charms preferring to wait to meet her soulmate did it feel like a knock to the head. He found a friend in Nancy a friendship he didn't even regret once he was pulled in by proxy to a whole other world under their town. He held Nancy as she cried losing her platonic soulmate Barb and met her romantic soulmate Jonathan.
He felt more like himself now that he was hanging around friends that cared about each other rather than their images. He adopted a gaggle of children who also needed protecting from the monsters on their doorstep and started thinking about soulmates again.
Nancy helped him graduate, barely. He didn't want to leave Hawkins without the kids or Nancy and Jonathan and so he started working at Scoops Ahoy. Where he met his soulmate, finally. Robin Buckley was funny and loud and smart and beautiful. Steve didn't want to rush into anything in case he was wrong and by the time he had gotten up the courage to show her his tattoo there were Russians and blood, so much blood.
High on Russian drugs he confessed to her, told her about how she was everything he'd dreamt of in a soulmate when he was little. How she was funny and amazing and that he loved her. He hadn't expected Robin to start crying, words tumbling out how she's not what Steve wants, not what Steve deserves in a soulmate, that she can never love him the way he wants. That day Steve discovers who his platonic soulmate is. From that day they're inseperable.
Steve doesn't know how he went through life without Robin once she was in it. She got on great with all his friends, called him out on his bullshit, comforted him through nightmares and was always there for him. She taught him that it was ok to like boys and girls and that his romantic soulmate will love him despite his King Steve days because she loves him too.
After already having one soulmate in danger from the Upside Down he never dreamt that the first time he'd hear someone say his other soulmates name it would be attached with "murder". Slammed up against the walls of the boathouse, Steve didn't think he'd ever seen anyone as beautiful as Eddie.
"Soulmates huh?"
"Yeah, sorry."
"Well, I know Dustin's one is definitely platonic, since he's a kid. Wonder what ours is?"
Steve wanted to tell him that he wanted everything with Eddie, but he knew his past, and knew that Eddie knew too. So he let himself hope, let himself laugh with Eddie, let himself be close. Nothing had been harder than leaving Eddie and Dustin there as distractions but he had a job to do.
As he'd held bloody bandages desperately to Eddie's wounds and begged him to stay awake, he wished he'd told Eddie everything he'd been thinking, how he was everything Steve had wanted and more.
"Please, Eddie! Stay awake, just hold on a little longer!"
"I think I figured us out, sweetheart."
And those were the last words Steve heard from his soulmate before Eddie had gone limp in his arms.
Steve held on hope for weeks beside Eddie's hospital bed. He had traced Eddie's name on his wrist over and over, memorising it. The tattoo had stayed dark and clear, Eddie was still there, he was still alive next to Steve.
Steve could've kissed Eddie as soon as he saw his eyes blink open but didn't want to injure him further.
"I figured us out too, Eds."
Little Steve had been right, his best friend was the coolest person he knew, and his soulmate was the most beautiful person he'd ever known.
