Glasses

For @steddiemicrofic January Prompt: NEW | WC: 517 | Rating: G | CW: None summary: Eddie gets new glasses. Steve is into it. ao3

Steve dialed the Munson trailer, hoping he didn’t wake Wayne up. Thankfully, it only rang twice before the beautiful sound of Eddie’s voice came through the phone.

“Munson’s home of misfits, head misfit speaking.” Eddie said. Steve laughed lightly.

“Hey, Eds. We still on today?” He asked. He tried to sound uncaring. Make Eddie think he doesn’t care either way. But when Eddie sighed down the line, his breath caught.

“Uh. Is it cool if we postpone? I have to go to the doctor. We can meet another day, but if you’re cool with it, I can come over after the appointment. Don’t worry, it’s not serious just a check up I forgot about.” Eddie said. Steve smiled as Eddie spoke. He understood exactly how Steve’s brain worked and made sure to cover the bases to ease his anxiety.

“It’s cool, come over tonight. I’ll make dinner.” Steve said, trying his best not to make it sound like a date. He really liked Eddie; but, all the evidence suggested he didn’t return his feelings.

“Thanks, Stevie.” Eddie said softly. They said their goodbyes and Steve turned toward the kitchen.

He had a few hours to kill, so he decided to make lasagna.

~~~

Steve was pulling the lasagna out of the oven right when the doorbell rang.

“Come in!” He called.

“Heya, Stevie.” Eddie popped into the kitchen. He sounded nervous. Steve placed the lasagna down then turned around; just to freeze in place. Everything about Eddie was the same as it was last time Steve saw him; except the black frames settled on his nose.

“You have glasses?” He asked quietly. He wasn’t blinking; he saw the moment Eddie’s face fell. His shoulders curled into him and he ducked his head.

“Yeah. I’ve needed them for a while but never had the money. With the government payout, Wayne made me promise to get my eyes checked. So now I have these cool new things.” He said sarcastically. He glanced at him over the rim of the glasses and Steve’s knees weakened. “Admit it. I look like a big dork.” Steve could hear the insecurity and couldn’t contain himself.

“Are you kidding? You look sexy as fuck. I mean, you’re really hot but the glasses are definitely working for you.” He blurted out. Steve slapped his hand over his mouth, he face heated in embarrassment.

Eddie jerked back in shock, his cheeks turned the cutest shade of pink.

“You think I’m hot?” He asked as he pulled a chunk of hair over his face. Steve chuckled self-deprecatingly.

“You’re the hottest person I’ve met. If Robin is to be believed, it’s nauseating how much I like you.” He admitted.

“You like me?” Eddie whispered in awe. Steve nodded and wrapped his arms around himself.

“I know you don’t like me back. It’s fine.” Eddie grabbed his face with both hands and gently shook his head side to side. He leaned forward and pressed his lips gently against Steve’s own.

“Can I take you out?” Steve asked.

“Please.” Eddie whispered. “Thank god for these glasses.” Steve kissed him again.

Jonathan can't help but feel guilty some days when he looks at Steve. He sees the glasses and the hearing aids and how sometimes Eddie or Robin would call to tell them that Steve won't be coming today because of a bad migraine.

He's not guilty about not being in Hawkins in '86. He's not guilty about not being in that Russian base. He's not guilty he wasn't there when Billy tried to attack the kids. He's not guilty because all those times he was elsewhere, helping the others, helping Will.

He's guilty because he was there the first time. He's guilty because before he'd even seen a demogorgan he gave Steve his first concussion. He's guilty because sometimes he wonders if Steve would be ok if he had one less hit to the head.

He's guilty because Steve never brings it up, never comments on '83 or about Nancy or about any of it. He's guilty because Steve invites him into his home, into his parties, into his life. He's guilty because Steve calls them friends. He's guilty because when Steve does bring it up he thanks Jonathan for "knocking some sense into me".

He's guilty because no matter how many times Steve has to put in his glasses, or have someone repeat words, or lays in the dark in pain, he never blames Jonathan.

Steve reminds him to not feel guilty, because there's nothing to feel guilty for.

out of all the ghouls

which ones do you think are absolutley PACKING?

A question I put way too much thought into, frankly. No complaints; I live for the chance to overthink exactly this kind of thing, which is why I keep the ask box open. Since there's only a few I think are packing packing, here's a quick and dirty ranking of all the penis-having ghouls I can think of from 3/New Vegas/4, plus Cooper, obviously. If I missed anyone, I'll be happy to add them.

Ranking Penis Size (Fallout 3/Fallout: New Vegas/Fallout 4)

Literally so big you might not even want it, possibly disqualifying: Edward Deegan

Seriously packing, but manageable: Charon, Harland, Kent Connolly (a true dark horse)

Above average: Roy Philips, Grecks, Dean Domino, Rotface, John Hancock, Eddie Winter, Wiseman, Cooper Howard

Middle-of-the-road average: Dr. Barrows, Quinn, Gob, Barrett, Andy Scabb, Raul Tejada, Hadrian, Arlen Glass, the Vault-Tec Rep, Ham

Below average: Murphy, Winthrop, Ahzrukhal, Jason Bright

Oh my god. Reaching that insanity level of character obsession where I’m just imagining stuff that had happened to me recently happening to Chilchuck. What’s going on. Wjeream I.

Steve needs glasses

1989: Steve, Eddie, Robin, Nancy, and Max all live in Chicago together. Steddie and Ronance are in Established relationships and live together in apartments near each other. Max just moved to the city for university and Lives on Campus.

Before they all lived together Max figures out they are dating first and see’s Steve in glasses first because she cut herself pretty bad and was home alone. She goes to Eddie’s for help. He takes her to the kitchen and is cleaning her up when Steve walks out in his underwear covered in hickies with his glasses on asking what is going on.

Eddie is a mechanic. His style has changed a lot because of his job, he needs to dress more practical now. The few things he doesn’t give up are his septum and bridge piercings and his rings. He routinely takes them off and on everyday before and after work. Mostly he wears homemade muscle tank tops he cut himself that show his ribs made from band t-shirts. He wears work boots often now too. His hair is usually tied back into a ponytail and he uses his bandana to keep his bangs away from his face. His usual uniform also involves navy Carhartt overalls.

Steve works at a diner. On Wednesday nights he closes so Eddie, Robin, Nancy and max all come in after close and eat the leftover food that was going to be tossed. Nancy doesn't come often because she usually has work the next day and can't stay up late so, Eddie and Robin deffer to Max for Stories about Steve when he first started dealing with the upside down.

Eddie’s suspicion about Steve needing glasses starts right before they get togther. At first it was because of how much Robin brought it up but he just chalked it up to their weird wonder twins friendship. when He really notices though is when they go to a college party thanks to Nancy and Steve spills his drink trying to pour it in the cup while sober.

Eddie gets his suspissions confirmed when he gets Steve to admit he has trouble seeing one night. They are in the garage together, Steve is ‘helping’ by passing Eddie tools. He asks Steve to pass him a specific sized ratchet and Steve passes him the wrong size Twice. Eddie just straight up asks if Steve has trouble seeing but, Steve gets defensive and is like ‘alright asshole I get it I’m not handy jesus.” But Eddie calms him down, apologizes and asks again letting Steve know he is serious. He mentions the party and other things (squinting at the remote when he puts on movies, always clips the corner in the hallway going into the washroom.) And Steve finally relents and admits "maybe I’ve been having problems for the last year." Eddie freaks out, "like year?! Jesus Steve you need to go to an eye doctor. Seriously." and convinces him somehow.

They go. Steve’s head injuries / concussions have weakened his right eye. He has Amblyopia or a lazy eye. His brain has a disconnect and can’t recognize sight from his right eye as well. He’ll have to get glasses and wear an eyepatch. (which he only wears around Eddie) They make another appointment so he can get tests done and they can get his prescription.

Once they leave the eye office Steve makes Eddie swear not to tell anyone about anything. They talk about how needing glasses makes Steve feel weak and less useful, how he won't be able to protect the kids as well anymore and they won't trust him to keep them safe. He also worries about how they'll make him look because he knows he is stupid so all he has left going for him is his looks which will be ruined by the glasses. Eddie sits and listens and then talks Steve through all his worries, especially the ones abut his looks. Its how they have their first kiss and subsequently start dating.

After that Eddie takes Steve to all his appointments and they have little dates after to feel better. For one appointment Steve has to have his eyes dilated so Eddie really does have to come. It's on a Monday so Eddie has to come in his workboots, coveralls, and bandana right after work. Steve gets his eyes dilated and Eddie helps guide him around. They go to the cafeteria while they wait and have milk and cookies because that is all that is left. Eddie soaks the cookie bits for Steve and feeds him. Eddie laughs and says it’s what Steve looks like when he is stoned

When Steve gets his glasses and hangs out with Robin, Nancy and Max for the first time Eddie goes in first and is like don’t say anything or he’ll never wear them again and be blind by the time he’s 40.

[your-stranger-halfblood-things]

Steve: Eddie never looks at me in the eyes when I wear my glasses. He must think I look like a nerd

Eddie, in his head: How can someone look so fucking hot with glasses?! Ahhhhhhhhh I can't even look Steve in the eyes anymore

[noirtek]

i like saw 3D if i’m in the right headspace to disassociate it from the prior 6 movies but aside from lawrence’s rightfully bemoaned character assassination hoffman’s personality shift is also more than a little upsetting

You say Siren Eddie, I say Diver/Tour Guide Steve

You say Steddie in an aquarium, and I bring you ‘the owners don’t know Eddie’s a siren, and the staff keep going missing. Someone takes him out of the tank so Steve can clean it except they never actually got him out, and he didn’t notice cause the tanks so damn big, so Steve’s stuck in there with this thing that’s been after their staff.’

The aquarium is closed over the weekend too, so unless Eddie releases him, he’ll die when his oxygen goes out.

Something something Eddie makes sure the other fish in the tank stay away, especially the more aggressive ones, and lets steve go when he has thirty minutes of air left.

And since Steve didn’t disappear, the owner keeps assigning him that tank. And Eddie keeps following him around as he cleans up all the bones that are seemingly human, and making jabs that he can barely respond to, plus bringing him some dead fish and shells.

The disappearances continue until the owner is like ‘Okay Robin I need you to go in with Steve to make sure something doesn’t happen to him.’

They get in the tank and Eddie is immediately attempting to murder her, his fins are up gills are flaring, and Steve has to hold him back.

“Stop being so goddamn hostile!!” It comes out warbled and muffled because of the mask, and the fact that they’re in water.

Robins going forward and Eddie is making a shrieking kind of noise, when she gets too close he starts snapping his teeth and Steve pinches him hard.

He stops shrieking, and instead yelps, “Ah, what the fuck man?!”

“You were trying to eat her!”

“What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck…” Robin backtracks to the wall of the tank.

“So? Why’s she even down here? You’re the cleaner.”

“Cause people keep disappearing.”

“We’ve already established I’m not gonna hurt you.”

“Yeah, but they don’t know that. They don’t even know it’s because of you.”

He doesn’t kill her, and she keeps coming to the cleanings but stays far away from Eddie. The disappearances stop, and the owner decides that he doesn’t have to clean the tank as often.

Eddie starts missing him, so whenever Steves in-front of his exhibition, he’ll press his face against the glass and just stare at him creepily.

Maybe it’d be funny if he yelling his name and banging on the glass.

“Steve!”

His eyelid twitches, but he continues with his facts for the kids in-front of him. There’s bangs on the glass behind him. “Hey, I’m talking to you!”

I just think it’d be neat.

Bonus point if the party are all kids who’s parents work there, and they get brought to work everyday after school.

I still can't get over how close they were sitting during the bachelor party. It's insane they really have no concept of personal space.

at the rate they’re going the s8 premiere is gonna have eddie sitting on buck’s lap and buck coming up behind eddie and wrapping his arms around his waist and no one in the 118 is gonna blink an eye.

[courtingchaos]

I want to comb through river monster! Eddie's treasure trove so bad. Like what's his most prized possession?

Honestly it’s probably the radio that she fixes for him. He has a lot of shiny things a lot of gold teeth collected from victims, but the radio gives him a link to the rest of the world.

I had it in my head that Wayne introduced Eddie to music because he didn’t like leaving him alone for long periods of time. Mainly because Wayne knows humans like to encroach on areas they really shouldn’t and maybe if Eddie had some kind of understanding and connection to humans then maybe it would help him.

Not the clearest objective but hey, I haven’t written the idea in full yet 😅.

But yeah, radio for sure, probably something really shiny second.

[bakasara]

i'm not saying that I can't see why people feel that buck is kind of the deancoded half of the buddie whole (or saying that everything has to relate back to dean supernatural, for that matter) -- buck 1.0 especially is the womanizer with a smile for everyone and abandonment issues behind the curtain, definitely reminescent of early-seasons dean in both looks and attitude!

but it's fascinating to me that i've never seen anyone point out how many traits and patterns EDDIE shares with thee dean winchester, especially post-s3 and then post-kripke dean, so much so that he often strikes me as more "deancoded" than buck if you look at the general morphology of the character.

eddie "repression is my passion" diaz is right there having responsibilities put on his shoulders too young, riddled with guilt, putting his (misguided notions of his) son's happiness before his own to the point of gratuitous suffering/forms of martyrdom, trying to adhere to this ideal of the heteronormative nuclear family to the point of toxicity (literally chasing after a Lisa Braeden-style normalcy, but instead playing 4D chess with the concept of marrying a Good Christian Girl), shoving down everything he feels to the point of not seeing the full scope of his own emotions until they blow up into self-destructive behaviors (see his little fight club digression for one) and explosive episodes. not only hating his dad for asking him to be "the man of the family" as a kid and for all time moving forward, but doing so with an intimate kind of hurt; not wanting to turn into him but arguably not free from his logic either.

carrying a rage he doesn't fully understand.

they even share a prolonged, defining way of being stuck in a past that doesn't exist: dean in the romanticized version of his family of origin, eddie in the romanticized version of the family he made with shannon.

(and on the other hand, eddie's known to get unexpectedly goofy and youthful when all the trauma isn't in the way, which also applies to later-seasons dean!)

like!!!

"He's able to be a little bit more honest with himself and maybe slow things down because he would much rather instinctually want to just get into another relationship and be monogamous with one individual and then hope it works out.
