Steve keeps brushing off Eddie’s flirting and thinking he isn’t interested while putting his all into flirting. Eddie is losing his mind until eventually he snaps. He literally jumps up in the middle of a movie everyone is watching when Steve tangles their hands together and screams for all to hear.
“Jesus fucking Christ, Harrington! Either kiss the fuck out of me or stop flirting with me like you mean it and holding my hands during a chick flick!”
Steve blinked at him. “So you mean you like me back? Well why didn’t you just say so?!”
“I’ve been flirting with you for months! As soon as you took your shirt off, I started making moves. I was flirting with you in the Upside Down!”
“Well I was a little distracted then! And besides, you should’ve made it more obvious,” he said with all the sass he could muster.
“Holy shit Steve, you’re gonna be the death of me,” he muttered exasperatedly before grabbing Steve’s face and mashing his lips to his.
concept designs for the zombie apocalypse au i'm working on - pt. 2 (small au details under the cut regarding their wardrobe)
---
max's design
takes off her jean jacket during supply runs / fights - used to be billy's jacket
signature weapon is a sawblade baseball bat - was taught how to swing from billy but the bat was modified by dustin
lucas' design
has started wearing jackets less and switched to dress shirts - the jackets were getting in the way of his new shoulder holster
signature weapon is a crossbow / revolver - the best marksman of the group and most knowledgeable with guns (his dad taught him everything as a war veteran) can really use anything!
dustin's design
found his vest off of some dead biker guy, thought it looked sick, and hasn't taken it off since - he puts pins on it to personalize it
no real signature weapon because he tends to stick away from fighting, more support - he knows basic fighting skills but is a beast with his crafted weapons (e.g. bomb traps, molotovs, etc)
is the pack mule when it comes to supply runs - he stays with mike and will to scout but brings a heavy backpack with possible backup supplies / weapons if need be

other notes: wanted to share that the apocalypse starts in 2019 while the kids were born in 2015. the first arc of the story takes place in apocalyptic 2028 and so on (their current designs are for arc 3). reason? i wanted them to experience some of the music and technology up to the 21st century :] i'll make a more official story thing later! maybe i'll write something for this au or draw a comic? idk my creative writing skills are pretty weak but we'll never know until we try LMAO
The kids (and Robin) are banned from joining the weekly Munson-Harrington movie night. It used to be a movie night for the entire Party until the kids ruined it.
Lucas wanted Steve’s opinion on who the hottest Clue character was. He expected him to back him up with Miss Scarlet as opposed to Dustin’s vote of Mrs. Peacock and Max’s vote of Mrs. White.
No one expected him to say, “Wadsworth, for sure. I’ve seen his legs in fishnets and he’s no Eddie but he’s up there.”
There was a moment of silence before Eddie started choking on air in shock and Robin started yelling at him to take back what he said about Miss Scarlett because, “are you looking at her in that dress, Steve? What the hell do you mean Wadsworth?! Look at her shoulders, Steve! I’d date her in a heartbeat, what do you mean?!”
That’s the story of how Steve outed him and Eddie and how Robin outed herself. So now movie nights are just between Steve and Eddie because Eddie can’t trust him to keep his movie opinions to himself and he does not want a repeat of the Clue disaster.
