a puppy. a cute shy puppy. a puppy who's not used to getting attention from women (then quickly learnt how sexualised he will be his entire life and how once again looks are what dictate people's expectations of him).

something something about rockstar eddie on tour telling everyone left and right about his sweetheart, his stevie, the light of his life, his sweet lil baby. getting more and more excited about when he's going to see his sweetheart at a concert soon.
the roadies and techs are kinda excited about it - placing bets on what kind of girl could have big bad rockstar eddie munson this starry eyed. with the way eddie is going on they are absolutely convinced that she's some tiny little slip of a girl that wears pastel pink everywhere and has never ever done anything bad in her life.
the big day arrives, everyone is excited to meet eddie's lil princess...but instead "sweet little babygirl stevie" is some big jock dude in a polo shirt and lightwash jeans who carries around equipment like it weighs nothing and who swears like a sailor when someone nearly drops an amp on his foot.
HoH Steve needing to read people's lips to help him understand what they are saying but Eddie doesn't know this, he doesn't even know Steve is hard of hearing bcs no one has bothered to tell him. So Eddie thinks Steve is flirting like crazy. He thinks the reason Steve stares at his lips and leans closer to him when they are talking is because he's being a major flirt. "My eyes are up here, Steve." He says one day while he's leaning on the Family Video counter in front of Steve.
Steve just rolls his eyes. "If you want me to have no idea what you're saying then sure, I'll stare into your pretty eyes, Munson." He then proceeds to lean on the counter very closely to Eddie and stare into his eyes with a mischievous grin. "Wow, so pretty."
But poor Eddie is still trying to process what Steve said. Not know what he's saying? "Wait, what? Are you deaf, Steve?" And that's when Steve realises that no one told Eddie. He leans back from the desk in shock. He could have sworn he told him.
"Oh my God, Eddie. Yeah, I'm deaf in my left ear, hard of hearing in my right. I can hear a little of what you're saying if I stand close to you but I mainly read lips. Dustin's trying to teach me sign language as well but that's, uh, taking a while. I swear I told you." But the look of complete surprise on Eddie's face tells Steve that this is very new information to him. "I'm sorry! Sometimes I forget it's not common knowledge."
Eddie runs a hand through his hair and laughs. "Dude, It's okay. I get it." He gives Steve a soft smile but then his face falls. "Oh god, I thought you were flirting with me this whole time with the whole lip reading thing. I'm sorry if i was being weird." He looks so flustered it makes Steve want to jump the counter, grab him by the shirt and kiss him silly.
Instead, Steve gives Eddie a small shrug, "Don't worry, i was flirting with you." And then he leaves him standing there dumbfounded while he serves a customer.
Upright: Hardworking and reliable, Steve Harrington is the type of King you can depend on. His appearance indicates the highs and lows of material relationships - how working is both a drag and yet provides the resources to gain independence. It speaks to solid physical health: enduring a butt-kicking at the hands of a certain bully, for example, and standing to fight another day. When he shows up in your reading, it’s to remind you of your resilience and worldly wisdom and the value of your experience.
Upside Down: Are you managing your money, or is it managing you? Steve works to live and knows how to balance his personal life with his career, but when the card is Upside Down, it may reveal that you are struggling to do the same. All work and no play makes the King of Scoops a dull guy, so get out there and enjoy what you’ve earned.
