It Was War, It Wasn't Fair

Summary: “Damn, what happened to you, Harrington?” Eddie asked, squatting down to get a closer look at the blossoming bruises and muddy, dried blood. “Fire,” was all that Harrington said. “Fire?” Eddie. “You were in the mall fire?” Harrington nodded before wincing and closing his eyes against the pain the movement seemed to have caused. “You’re a bit of a mess, y’know?” Eddie asked. “Did you get checked out?” “No,” Harrington sighed, closing his eyes again. A tale of two boys patching each other up while fighting the hell that threatens their small town.

This is a gift for the lovely @alwaysurvalentine, as part of the @steddieexchange I hope you like this!

Sometimes you do have to stomp on your music taste to properly serenade your crush (the uptown girl boy)

"You don't get it," Eddie snarls in frustration, "you could have gotten yourself killed."

Standing by the open door of his bimmer, Steve slams it shut as he continues listening to the saga taking place in the Hawkins High parking lot.

"You don't get it," Dustin stubbornly grits out. "We're experienced, we have the slots and the hit points; we'll survive."

And Steve's not dumb. He doesn't personally want to play the game and only occasionally teases Dustin and Luke with the idea that he might be tempted to do so; but, overall, he knows that the verbal brawl in front of him is about imaginary worlds and characters.

But when Eddie leans earnestly forward, gripping one hand to each of their shoulders, Steve thinks he may be a little lost.

Eddie says solemnly, "Then every darkness will pass and a new day will come, fight boys. Fight. And you will live to see anther day."

The boys stare up at him, renewed faith and awe beaming back at the trust he shares with them, and Eddie straightens like he's won the war. Proudly, he glances across the lot only to stutter when he meets Steve's eyes, pride and embarrassment warring in their depths.

Steve drops his head into one palm. He knows he falls too hard and too fast, but even he thinks it's ridiculous at how he's just tripped and stumbled down a flight of stairs with Eddie Munson looking back at him from across the lot.

"What is it?" Eddie asks, hand on Dustin's shoulder, except Dustin pushes past and obnoxiously wipes his feet inside Steve's car before sliding in. Lucas follows with a respectable wave, "Hi, Steve." He settles in the back seat.

Eddie's mouth opens and closes, clearly faced with an unexpected outcome from his usual understanding of the world. He follows Lucas's example and waves a hand. "Hi Steve," he parrots. A beat passes before Eddie's eyes drown in chagrin, his hand lowering even as he keeps staring at Steve.

Steve steps forward. "Hi," he offers, "I'll fight. To see another day, that is."

Eddie raises his head hopefully, "Yeah?"

"Yeah," Steve agrees, stepping closer, fingers grazing the back of his and thinking that fight to see another day has never sounded so sweet.

Small Snippet:

“I don't know what I did to deserve you,” Steve whispered as he traced Eddie’s cheek with his fingertips, enjoying the rough scrape that told him he hadn't shaved that morning.

“You were yourself,” Eddie whispered back.

Okay, but hear me out.

Comphet gay Steve Harrington on the Titantic with his arranged fiancée Nancy Wheeler. And while she's nowhere near as digustingly awful as Caledon Hockley is in the movie, she is easily jealous because Steve is a handsome man and gets attention from ladies of all age.

Never mind when he starts wanting to spend all his time with third-class passenger and wild card Eddie Munson, a jack-of-all-trades who just happens to be good at both music and drawing.

And in those few days together, Steve gets to actually live and be happy and realize things about himself and life that he never even dreamed about.

But also give them a happy ending where the door is strong and buoyant enough to hold the weight of two people without sinking into the water.

Small snippet:

Steve was lying flat on his back, staring at the ceiling and tossing a mini basketball into the air over and over. Eddie’s unexpected voice made him startle and the ball fell onto the pillow by his head, narrowly missing his face. 

“They made you the captain with skills like that?” Eddie teased, pushing off from the doorframe he’d been leaning on.

Steve rolled onto his side to face Eddie as he walked over, “you been there long, Munson?” he asked teasingly. 

“I was just admiring the view, Darling,” Eddie dropped elegantly into a squat at the edge of the bed so they were on the same level. “What’s going on, Stevie?”
