Summary
They’re eating thick slices of bread, cold meat and cheese and blackberries that leave a bloody smear on the plate where the delicate skins are burst.
“Would you like me to make you a plate?” one of the girls asks Steve, where he’s just standing near the head of the table.
“No,” he clears his throat, “no thank you. You could lead me to Sir Edwards chambers.”
The people closest pause, and then continue eating like they’re pretending not to listen very fiercely.

Summary
Steve fiddles with the hem of the nightdress they'd given him to wear.
It’s soft at least, flowing and comfortable. White. Pure.
Virginal.
It barely covers the top of Steve’s thighs.
He tugs as the nightgown again, embarrassment ticking at him. It was the only thing he’d been given to wear though, so it’s either this or nude, which isn’t really an option. He’s still resentful of it though.
A large moth flutters across the room, the noise of it’s wings barely discernible over the crackle of the fire.
Steve's trapped in the castle; his only option is to wait for the monster to arrive.

Summary
Under his breath, Eddie giggles. He hears the noise crest behind them as they walk, like a cloud of angry bees after their hive has been shaken up. It’s a fact, now, that Eddie Munson, resident freak drug-dealing alpha, is very publicly hanging around newly presented omega Steve Harrington. Alpha and omega, the perfect cookie-cutter combo the normies love to call a perfect match.
“Munson,” Harrington mutters, barely moving his lips. “What the fuck do you think you are doing?”
Or: Eddie is the king of bad ideas. Fake-courting Steve Harrington for the hell of it might take the crown.

Summary
Eddie's quiet, but she feels eyes on her. Cuts a glance towards him and stirs the two new coffees. ‘What?’
‘I’m looking at you.’
‘Why?’ Stevie masters her expression, exhales carefully. ‘Are you gonna hurt me?’
‘Why would I hurt you?’
‘I don’t know why anyone would hurt anyone. But they do.’

“Sorry,” Steve mumbles, wiping at the blood that’s resumed dribbling down his chin.
Eddie hums, grabs the bandana from his back pocket, folds it up and holds it to Steve’s lip.
Steve only notices he’s crying again when he tastes salt.
*****
Steve's life changed the night Eddie found him beaten and bruised on the side of the road. Now, with Eddie beside him, they're heading for the bright lights of Chicago.

Summary
Eddie realized that it couldn't last forever. Steve was bound to move on someday, find himself a girlfriend and realize he didn’t need his weird clingy friend third-wheeling his entire life.
It was all fine. So long as Eddie could be just a little bit greedy for now, for just a little while longer.
But never expected actual heartbreak to come in the form of a goddamn guy.- Language:

“I knew it,” Jeff sighed. “I knew this would happen. I told you Gareth, I fucking told you so.”
“What are you talking about?” Eddie asked.
“I’m talking about the fact that the guy you ran over is exactly your type and I knew you wouldn't be able to resist giving him your number and chatting him up,” Jeff said.
“First of all, I didn't run over him, I just kinda bumped into him,” Eddie clarified because it made a difference alright? “Secondly, I didn't give him my number I got his from Robin. And thirdly, this is a second phone so if it goes South, there’s no way he can leak my number.”

Summary
People knew who Steve was for sure, but that’s the thing really. SAILOR was bubblegum pop rock, layers of harmonies and bright chords and Corroded…wasn’t that.
Corroded Coffin was loud and quick, dark and moody. Eddie liked things fast, sweaty and mind-blowing.
Steve Harrington just didn’t fit, and he made Eddie frustrated because he made Eddie flustered.
Eddie fucking Munson didn’t get flustered, he just didn’t.
--
Five Times Eddie and Steve fuck around on stage, and the one time they decide to fuck...off of it.

Summary
Steve truly should have known he would've been roped back into this, not that he was particularly bothered. Steve liked playing on stage with Corroded. He loves the antics that he and Eddie get up to on stage, he loves the way these shows make him feel, the way that Eddie--he loves doing this with Eddie.
Steve had been doing shows for a long time, long before he met the Corroded guys, but damn if they weren't the most accident prone bunch of assholes Steve had ever met. It was Jeff this time. He had slipped--on the carpet, but Steve was not judging (yes he was)--and Eddie had called Steve immediately.
--
Steve and Eddie continue to fuck around onstage, and you guessed it...off of it.

Summary
“You—are you telling me you—” Eddie couldn’t even get the question out. “You—you—guys? You like guys?”
Harrington snorted. “Yeah, man. I like guys. And girls.”
Eddie could only sputter in the face of that. “But—but you’re King Steve!” he cried.
Harrington just shrugged, gave a casual little I know, but what are you gonna do? smile, before he turned back to watching the band.
Like this was anything to be casual about. Like Eddie wasn’t rapidly rewriting several years’ worth of high school in his mind’s eye. Yeah, sure, Steve Harrington sucks cock. It’s just a fact of life. What are you gonna do, am I right?
Jesus H. Christ.
At a house party in fall 1986, Eddie Munson meets Steve Harrington properly.

“Look Harrington if you’re about to confess your undying love for me that ship has-”
“God could you just shut up for five seconds!” Steve shouted out of frustration, angry tears now falling. “I’m pregnant you asshole! And you’re the father!”
Eddie was frozen, that was the last thing he expected to hear out of Steve’s mouth.

Summary
He’d thought it was sort of an insane idea, freshly twenty one and just out of an apocalypse that had very nearly ripped Hawkins clean out of the earth, sprawled across Robin’s lap on their shitty hand me down couch.
‘What if I just like, became a teacher,’ he’d said, apropos of nothing and all in one breath.

Summary
Steve caught his gaze and whispered, “Can I trust you?”
Eddie blinked, eyes flicking between Steve’s before he firmly said, “Friend.”
It could’ve been a lie and probably was. Vecna had used their loved ones against them before in far less obvious ways. Maybe that was why Steve trusted this. Maybe it was the fact Eddie waited patiently for Steve to tip his chin up, exposing his neck, his blood, his life.
Eddie’s nose dragged warm over his pulse, breath damp. “Steve…”
“Do it.”
At the beginning of the siege of the Upside Down, Steve gets separated from the others and finally finds their old friend again.

Kinktober Day 15: Lap Dance
The bottle skitters to a stop, barely bypassing Eddie to fall upon Steve once again, who throws up his arms in triumph, his tight polo rising up as well to tease a strip of toned, olive skin. Eddie gulps as his mouth immediately starts to water, forcing himself to tear his eyes away from that tantalizing piece of skin, only to lock eyes with Tommy’s, his brows drawn together in concentration.
“Steve,” Tommy drawls, his eyes flickering between the two men. “I dare y’to give Munson a lap dance.”
A cold sweat breaks out on Eddie’s brow, unnoticed by Steve who simply lets out a joyful whoop, knocking his shoulder playfully into Eddie’s. “Prepare to be dazzled, Eds.”
He’s going to fucking die.
That, or he’s already dead. The jury is still out.

Summary
In November 1984, Eddie Munson makes a late-night run to the only 24-hour diner in the area surrounding Hawkins. He expects a few truckers, maybe another night owl like him. What he doesn't expect is to run into Steve Harrington, looking beat to shit and in desperate need of a cigarette (or three). He doesn't expect to keep running into him in that same diner, always in the dead of night. Doesn't expect something like friendship to form between them.
July of 1985, Steve invites Eddie to follow him home. And who is he to say no? Hell, he'll take whatever he can get. ('Whatever' ends up being a package deal of sex, emotions, pancakes, and maybe something more).
OR
The one where Steve can't sleep, and Eddie just wants a milkshake. (Alternate meeting AU)
