Argyles catchphrase is legit try before you deny and you think he hasn’t at least kissed a guy before? Or even considered it?

(this is because of the boxing photo video shoot thingy, you know the one. ANYWAYS... no upside down, modern AU)

What if Steve becomes a model/actor, actually becomes pretty successful, has a nice apartment in LA and all that. Has been on a TON of dates with girls and guys, because that's what he's supposed to do, right? but he feels kind of alone. all the kids are back in Hawkins and Robin is out in New York City with Nancy.

Then Steve gets a call from his agent, she says there's some band that needs a guy to be a boxer in their music video. Steve agrees. it's right up his alley. A week later and he's on a sound stage and make-up is whisking him away to pull on his hair and cover him in makeup so he'll look the part.

After about fifteen minutes in the chair he can hear the song he's shooting the video for. (his agent had sent it to him along with a vague idea of the look of the video). Steve had looked up the band and while it really wasn't his thing (some heavy metal type stuff by a band called Corroded Coffin) he didn't find it totally horrible and the band looked like fun.

After another half an hour Steve finally gets to leave the chair. Wardrobe has him get into boxing shorts and shoes before handing him some gloves and then he's off to the stage.

When he comes around the corner of the setup he can see the boxing ring and the lights and off to the side is the band members, his agent, and the director.

"Hey." Steve says once he's a few steps away and his manager catches sight of him. She makes the introductions, Steve shaking the director's hand and then the hands of all the band members (the lead guitarist gives him a smile that makes Steve's face heat up and he hopes it's hidden under all the makeup) and then it's down to filming.

It's not the worst shoot he's ever had to do, but not the easiest either. The lead guitarist, Eddie, is killing him. He's distractingly pretty, all tattoos and big brown eyes and pants that fit him way too well. And whenever Steve does something that usually gets the women on set to smile and duck their heads to stay professional he gets the same reaction from Eddie... except Eddie isn't shy about it. He keeps pulling his (fantastic) hair in front of his mouth which does pretty much nothing to hide the wicked grins he keeps shooting at Steve. At one point the drummer (Gareth if Steve remembers correctly) is slapping Eddie's arm and saying (if Steve is reading his lips correctly), "Stop flirting! Jesus!" and Eddie retaliates, punching Gareth squarely in the shoulder saying "Shut up." Steve can barely keep the smile off his face. He's supposed to be professional.

After the shoot is over, the band invites everyone out to dinner at some fancy restaurant. Steve goes, sits next to Eddie the whole time, and listens to the band tell stories about their tours and rehearsals. After a story about Eddie disappearing in New York City and the band finding him in a strip club absolutely smashed, Eddie leaned over and said "don't believe everything you hear, Stevie. I was still very aware of my surroundings, wouldn't want to be there if I couldn't appreciate the guys." Steve feels Eddie stiffen, realizing what he said, before glancing over at Steve. Steve gives him a warm smile. "I get it, those clubs are expensive."

Eddie relaxes a little and picks up his water to take a drink right as Steve leans closer and says quietly so only Eddie could hear "Ya know, I used to be a stripper." And Eddie snorts his water out of his nose, choking and coughing as half the restaurant looks at him. Steve claps him on the back and Jeff gives him a look.

They break apart after the dinner. The band left the next day for Houston and Steve had another shoot to get ready for. But Steve couldn't get Eddie out of his head. He found himself on the band's insta and then Eddie's personal insta, and about a dozen times over the next two weeks Steve thought about DMing him but kept talking himself out of it.

One day he woke up to a message. Eddie was in his DMs with a link attached. "YOU DIDNT TELL ME YOU WORKED AT A GAY STRIP CLUB." and Steve followed the link to an article he was in about modeling where he told the journalist about his couple of months at a gay club. It turned out stripping wasn't really for him, but he discovered a lot about himself while he was working there. And that's how he got into modeling. so it was a win either way.

He messaged Eddie back "What, you stalking me now? ;)" and that started it. He was messaging Eddie constantly. A couple weeks later Eddie was sending him a link to the music video, now all edited and up on YouTube. Of course Steve's manager had sent it to him about two hours before and Steve had watched it a dozen times already... not to see himself, but to watch Eddie. He hadn't been there when they shot the band's part of the video and damn if Eddie didn't look fantastic in it. And Steve didn't waste any time telling Eddie exactly that.

"Careful sweetheart, you'll get more than you ask for." And Steve was rolling his eyes because he had been shamelessly flirting with Eddie this whole time. When was he going to take the hint?

Steve glanced at the clock, 11:15 PM. Eddie was probably doing the same thing Steve was doing. Laying in his bed staring at his phone. Steve pulled up Eddie's contact and called him. It rang three times before Eddie picked up.

"Steve?"

"What if I want exactly what I'm asking for." Steve said instead of hello. There was a long pause and then Eddie said.

"Come to our show."

"What?"

"I'll get you tickets. Whatever city. Whenever you're available."

"New York. It's July 17th right?" Like Steve hadn't been eyeing the Madison Square Garden tickets like a hawk. He was gonna surprise Eddie and bring Robin.

"I'll book them first thing tomorrow. How many?"

"Three."

"You got it, sweetheart."

Steve went to sleep with the biggest smile on his face.

Over the next two months the messages went from random topics to personal things to "I miss you so fucking much" even though they had only ever been in the same room one time. They talked on the phone alot more too. now that Eddie was touring he would call while he was on the tour bus with nothing to do but stare out the window.

Then July 17th came around. Steve, Robin, and Nancy had all access passes and could have watched the show from a VIP box or backstage or wherever but they got down in front, right up against the rail and when Eddie finally caught sight of Steve he couldn't stop smiling and winking down at him from the stage.

Once the show was over Steve, Robin and Nancy headed backstage. They stepped into the green room and as soon as Eddie saw Steve he was moving, running across the room and jumping into Steve's arms. Steve caught him, having to take a couple steps back because Eddie had wrapped his legs around Steve's hips. Luckily Steve was a strong guy.

When he finally got his balance he looked up at Eddie, still in his arms and hovering over him. "hey." Steve whispered with a smile.

"Hey, sweetheart." Eddie whispered back before kissing him, legs still wrapped around Steve's waist, Steve's arms still wrapped around his back.

It took both Nancy and Robin clearing their throats obnoxiously and Jeff yelling "Get a room!" before they separated, Steve finally putting Eddie down, both looking just a little sheepish.

They introduced everyone, sat around and talked to the other VIP ticket holders for a while, took pictures, drank. and then Eddie was pulling Steve out of the room, down to a dressing room somewhere so they could finally have some alone time.

(you fill in the rest. It would be fantastic if I had the time to write this out properly. If anyone wants to, be my guest. Have a nice night!)

Rockstar Eddie au in the 90's and there's rumours he is ~homosexual~ right. So the whole band is in an interview, and the journalist asks

"so, Eddie, what do you have to say about those rumours ?"

"what rumours" (he knows exactly what rumours)

"the rumours about you having slept with a number of men. About being, ah, gay? Seeing as you've never had a public relationship with a woman, and some of the songs you've written could be seen as, ah, insinuating things."

(at this point Jeff and Gareth make Significant Eye Contact. They know what's about to happen.)

Eddie nods. "Ahhh. THOSE rumours. Well, gotta say, don't believe everything you hear!" He pauses just enough for the interviewer to open their mouth and interrupts. "I mean," he leans forward with a wide grin, "obviously I am a flaming queer. We know this. [Insert song title here] is clearly about gay sex, duh, I'm not exactly a subtle man. It's the sleeping around stuff that's just plain rumour. I've been happily in a committed monogamous relationship since '86!"

this is obviously not how the interviewer thought any of this would go. They are scrambling. "O-oh? Would you like to... Elaborate on that?"

Gareth speaks under his breath "oh no, now he's not gonna stop" as he looks to the ceiling. Jeff's face is valiantly trying to not smile.

Eddie is vibrating. "Oh absolutely! Okay, so we're from this Podunk Indiana town in buttfuck nowhere, right? Steve and I met when-"

"Eddie please, man. I can't believe you held out this long but we have an album to promote and if you start gushing about Steve we'll be here forever. Please, Eddie." Says Jeff, smiling.

Eddie proceeds to pout as his bandmates ignore his grumbling about never getting to talk about Steve and Jeff and Gareth are like Eddie you waxed poetic about his chest hair in song literally five minutes before this interview. PLEASE let us talk about music I'm sure people will clamour to get an interview exclusively about Steve. You'll have time to talk about him to the press just let us have One Last Interview that isn't just Eddie Talking About Steve Time. Please.

i just think that maya hawke

[julesomalley]

Since the Farah Fawcett Hairspray was discontinued in ‘84 do you think Steve stocked up on like dozens of cans of the stuff so he’d be set for a while or went through a panicky phase of testing new products?
