“I lost him Robs.” She led him to the couch where Chrissy was waiting with a raised eyebrow.

“Let me guess, the talk didn’t go well? That’s why Eddie is currently bursting his eardrums?” Chrissy glared. They could hear the death metal clearly in the house as if he were just in the kitchen. Steve nodded and told them Eddie asked him to leave for a while.

“You can stay with us for a few days. Right Chrissy?” Robin said hopefully, turning to her girlfriend. Chrissy was sweet but when she was angry it was terrifying.

“Sure he can stay here.” She got up and began walking to their room. “But I won’t be here while he is. At least not until I talk to Eddie.” Less than five minutes later she was leaving with a back pack of her own. She kissed Robin softly. “I love you, Robbie. I need to take care of my platonic life partner and clean up the mess yours caused.” She glared at Steve again. “I hope it was worth it.” She spat. “I’ll be back in a few days.” She promised as she kissed Robin one more time. As the door shut behind her, Steve met Robin’s eyes.

“You better tell me everything Dingus.”

I'm not tagging anyone directly so if you see this and want to play, go for it.

Accidentally Dating

for @steddieholidaydrabbles popup event Feb 14th Prompt “Valentine’s day/love” | Rating: G | WC: 591 summary: Steve and Eddie go out as friends for dinner. Based off my real first Valentine’s day with my partner. AO3

Robin burst through the door to Family Video and attempted to vault over the counter. Being Robin, she slipped and Steve threw his arms out to catch her.

“What are you doing?” Steve asked incredulously.

“You’re finally going on a date with Eddie?!” She yelled instead of an answer. Steve nearly dropped her as he set her feet on the ground.

“No? We’re just going to the diner, then back to his place to watch a horror movie, as friends.” Steve said, doing his best to hide his disappointment. Robin stared at him in confusion.

“Tonight?” She asked. Steve nodded. “Don’t you know what today is?”

“Ash Wednesday I think. I saw some people with crosses on their faces.” Steve shrugged. Robin stared at him for a solid 45 seconds.

“Just, be sure to pay the bill, dingus.” Steve nodded, it was his turn.

~~~

As they slid into the booth at Benny’s Eddie noticed a larger crowd than normal. He looked around and saw a bunch of people with ash crosses on their foreheads. It made sense they’d come here then, Benny was Catholic. He couldn’t remember if Ash Wednesday meant they started lent or ended it, but either way Benny’s would have the right foods.

The waitress shimmied over; the elderly one who was always nice and never charged Eddie for an extra chicken tender.

“Is this your first date?” She asked with a smile. Eddie furrowed his brows.

“No, we’re not on a date. Just friends.” He did his best to hide the bitterness. She frowned slightly before composing herself.

“Well, we do have a Valentine’s deal on milkshakes.” She said as she handed over the menus. Eddie froze and looked at Steve, then looked at the calendar on the wall. February 14th.

“Did you know it was Valentine’s day?” He squeaked. Steve’s eyes widened, Eddie had to hold in his laughter at the deer in a headlights look.

“That’s what Robin meant!”

~~~ As they sat in Eddie’s bed, The Thing played in the background. It was much scarier than he remembered. He wrapped his arm around Eddie, who was practically sitting in his lap; their hands clasped tightly together as he flinched at every scare.

“I thought you’d be the horror buff.” Steve smiled. Eddie tried to glare, but a jump scare got him good and Steve had to dodge an elbow.

“Jesus Christ. I do like it. I’m just terrified of it!” Eddie pouted. “But, at least I have you here to protect me.” He laughed. Steve noticed how close their faces were, his eyes darted down to Eddie’s lips before snapping back up; just to catch Eddie doing the same thing. He didn’t think, he just kissed him softly and quickly.

“Sorry, I shouldn’t have done that without asking.” Steve cringed, but Eddie only smiled.

“That’s okay, I wanted you to.” Eddie whispered and turned back to the film.

Afterward, as they laid down to sleep, Steve smiled. Maybe it wasn’t so hopeless after all.

~~~

A week later, Eddie called Steve and invited him over. He sat Steve down on the couch and plopped into his lap.

“I liked that kiss the other day. Do you want to be my boyfriend?” He asked bluntly. He was tired of waiting for him to make a move, so it was up to him.

“Um, yes, yes I do. Very much.” Steve whispered. He cupped Eddie’s face softly and pulled him in for a kiss.

“So, are we counting last week as a date?” Eddie giggled.

Keep on Dancing

@genderthings Day 2 prompt “Lipstick/drag” | transman Eddie Munson | rating: G full disclosure I was listening to Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan when I started writing this. (Eddie’s outfit is 100% based on her look when she sang this at the grammys) summary: Eddie invites Robin and Steve to his drag show. AO3

The bell above the door of Family Video chimed, signaling Eddie’s entrance. He scanned the store to make sure it was empty of customers before he skipped to the desk. Steve and Robin were in the middle of a skittles fight before they froze at the bell.

“Hello lord and lady.” Eddie said with a bow. Steve rolled his eyes but Robin did an approximation of a curtsy.

“What’s up?” Robin asked. The nerves he talked himself out of in the car were back; but, these were friends and he trusted them.

“Do you remember last week when you said you wanted to go to more queer events?” He asked as he rocked back and forth on his heels. Robin nodded. “You free this weekend?”

“Why? Want to hit a gay club or something?” Steve asked. Eddie slapped a flier that read The Orb Drag Show with Saturday’s date down on the counter.

Eddie tried to hide his shaking hands. He had a huge crush on Steve; and if Robin was to be believed, Steve felt the same. But before he could do anything with that information, he had to show Steve this part of himself.

“OO! You want to go to a drag show?!” Robin exclaimed. Eddie smiled, he knew she’d love the idea.

“Actually, I want you two to go to a drag show.” He said. Steve’s brows furrowed like he was trying to solve a math problem.

“You’re not going to come?” He asked. Eddie shook his head before he explained.

“I’m performing.”

“Um! Of course we’re going!” She squealed. “Right Steve?” She turned to her friend. Who was frozen in place, great.

“Oh, yeah! Yes. We’ll be there.” He said after he shook himself.

“Cool, I’ll see you there.” Eddie smiled.

“Don’t tell us which queen you are, I want to guess.” Robin said. Eddie nodded and said his goodbyes. He exited the video store, a new pep in his step.

~~~

Saturday crept up on him and before he knew it he was applying hot pink lipstick. He had no reason to be nervous, he’s preformed here a dozen times; but then, Steve hadn’t been in the audience before today. He wasn’t going to pretend to be someone he wasn’t, if Steve didn’t like this side of him...that would be the end of it.

He shook his head to stop himself from spiraling and turned back to the mirror. He admired his handwork around his eyes: bold eye shadow in different shades of pink and white, with rhinestones glued on. His body suit was a maroon leather that held tight to his figure, his sky high, thigh high boots matched his cowboy hat perfectly. For this show he was able to use is real hair, just styled more curly and less teased than normal. Thank god for that, trying to fit all this hair in a wig was an ordeal all on its own. His tattoos were mostly hidden.

“Hey, Kas? You’re on deck.” The stage manager said as he peaked into the room. Eddie stood and took his place at side stage, slipping his hat on as the final touch. The queen before him wrapped up and the MC took the stage.

“Next to the stage, please give it up for Kassidy Rose!” Eddie took a deep breath and took his place at center stage. The spot light lit him up and he fell into his role.

Steve had never been to a drag show. He didn’t know what to expect but this was certainly not it. Robin told him before they got there that any drag queens he talked to were to be addressed as she. Which he didn’t totally get, until he saw the first queen take the stage.

She was tall and beautiful and Steve realized he liked drag. Steve knew she was a man, but it wasn’t hard to figure out that that didn’t really matter here. She worked the crowd like royalty should, really earning that title of queen.

He had a handful of dollars in his pocket that Robin made him bring. For some reason, he thought it would be like a strip show so he had to tip the dancers. And it kind of was, but without the actual stripping. Steve held onto his money, determined to give it all to Eddie.

“Do you think we’ll be able to tell which one is Eddie?” He asked. Robin shrugged.

“He’s our friend, we should recognize him.” Though she didn’t sound confident. “Let’s have a drink.” They moved to bar, got a beer each, and found a table with two empty chairs near the front.

Three performers and two beers later the MC announced, “Kassidy Rose!” A soft tune started up as the spotlight turned on to…

“That’s Eddie.” Steve whispered. He was sure of it, her hair was exactly like his.

I know you wanted me to stay

Kassidy lip sang along. At first Steve didn’t hear any music, his eyes racked along Kassidy’s body. Her slim waist was cinched by the bodysuit, her pale thighs on full display and Eddie’s bat tattoo peaked out at her elbow.

God, what have you done?

You’re a pink pony girl

And you dance at the club

Kassidy moved to the music, strutting along the stage, shaking her hips and hair to the beat. Steve’s eyes widened in wonder.

Oh mama, I’m just having fun

On the stage in my heels

It’s where I belong down at the

As the beat dropped Kassidy jumped off the stage landing perfectly in the splits. Steve was impressed, the height of the stage and heels, mixed with Eddie’s balance, it was wonder she didn’t break an ankle. Her leg swung in a high arch to pull her back to her feet and Steve had to adjust his pants a bit. He had no idea Eddie was so flexible.

As she moved through the audience, collecting dollar bills, Steve remembered the money in his pocket. He took it out and waited for her to make her way to them. She spotted Robin first.

Pink Pony Club

She ran a finger down Robin’s cheek and gently took the bills out of her hand. Then Kassidy turned to Steve.

West Hollywood

Kassidy smiled almost shyly at him as she placed her cowboy hat on his head. He couldn’t look away as she turned around and grinded her hips against him for a moment. It was enough that there was no way she didn’t know what she was doing to him.

Kassidy turned, kissed him on the cheek, and took the money from his hand. She shoved them into the top of the bodysuit before she moved back onto the stage.

Steve stared slack jawed when she stuck her hands backstage only to re-emerge with Eddie’s sweetheart. She burst into the guitar solo headbanging in time.

“Why am I attracted to Eddie right now?” Robin whispered in awe to Steve. He nodded in agreement, though he’s always been attracted to Eddie.

Kassidy knelt down with her shoulder blades touching the stage as her fingers flew along the frets, thrusting her hips into her guitar. Steve groaned at the sinfully deep arched she bent her back into as the song came to a close.

“Make some noise for Kassidy Rose!” The MC exclaimed as he came back on to the stage. Kassidy stood and bowed before running off stage. Steve was so fucked.

~~~

Eddie took a deep breath as the show wrapped up. He was sure Robin enjoyed herself, and he hoped beyond all hope that Steve did. But now, was the moment of truth. Still in costume, minus the hat, he went to meet his friends.

“Oh my god! Eddie that was amazing!” Robin exclaimed.

“Thanks! But here you call me Kassidy or Kas for short.” Eddie smiled and hugged the girl. They pulled apart. He turned and hugged Steve.

“You were awesome Ed...I mean, Kas.” Steve said as he too went in for a hug.

“Really?” He asked shyly.

“Yeah. How do you walk in those?” Steve asked and pointed at the heels. Eddie laughed.

“Lots and lots of practice.”

Steve nodded contemplatively before he glanced at Robin, his eyes huge. Robin gasped and without a word, walked away. Their silent communication would never be less weird to him.

“What was that?” Eddie asked as his brows furrowed.

“Will you let me take you out?” Steve replied.

“Like a date?” Eddie froze. This was what he wanted, but suddenly he was afraid it was only happening because of the show. As if he read his mind, Steve went to reassure him.

“I’ve wanted to ask for a while, but I wasn’t sure if you wanted me to. After tonight, with the…” he gestured to the cowboy hat he still wore. “I thought I’d try my luck.” He shrugged.

“You asking Eddie or Kas?” Eddie asked. Steve tilted his head thoughtfully.

“Both.”

“Today’s your lucky day then. We’d love to go on a date with you.” Eddie smiled and stepped closer, barely any space between them.

“Can I kiss you?” Steve whispered. Eddie nodded, his eyes slipped shut. His world tilted on its axis when Steve’s lips touched his.

The next show, he would preform Steve’s favorite Tears for Fears song, Head over Heels and he’d land his first stage jumping death drop. Steve would throw a worried fit over it but Eddie wouldn’t care.

For now though, he pulled Steve onto the dance floor.

I’m gonna keep on dancing

I’m gonna keep on dancing

New Furniture

@genderthings day 5 prompt “he/they/ sex shop” | rating: T | transmasculine Eddie Munson a bit of a short and sweet one today! summary: Eddie and Steve go to a sex shop. AO3

It wasn’t what he originally went into the shop for, but once Eddie saw it, they had to have it. Eddie and Steve were regulars at the shop; they came by every month or so for their newest toy. It was Steve’s turn to pick but Eddie liked window shopping. That’s when he saw something new. It wasn’t something he ever wanted to use. It wasn’t for them, not really. But it wasn’t not for him.

“Stevie!” Eddie yelled for his boyfriend...who was standing right next to them.

“I know, I see it.” Steve sighed...like he knew they were already trying to fit it into the apartment.

“It’ll look so good in the living room.” He cackled. Steve was unimpressed.

“I’m not putting that in the living room.” Famous last words. Eddie ran to the cashier.

“Excuse me, do you have any of those in stock?” They pointed to the display.

“There’s one in the back that I put aside just for you.” The cashier smirked. Eddie used to be embarrassed, coming to a sex shop enough that the staff recognized your tastes. But today, they were pleased as punch.

Not even an hour later, Eddie sat surrounded by pieces of fabric and wood, trying to put the swing together.

“Steve!” They shouted as he looked at the directions again. This time, Steve was across the apartment and he shuffled in.

“What’s wrong?” He asked. In the minute since he yelled, Eddie laid down and curled into a ball. They held out the directions for Steve to take a look. He stared at them for a moment, then he got up and pulled Eddie to his feet.

Steve directed Eddie to the kitchen to make them something hot to drink while Steve worked on the swing. In the store, the display made it seem really easy to put together, but now that everything was out in the open...he started to regret all their life choices.

Hot chocolate in hand, he walked back to the living room. Steve seemed to be having better luck, at least his piles of pieces seemed more coherent than Eddie’s did. They sat on the couch and watched Steve work, content to let the man take over.

Nearly an hour later, Steve declared the swing finished. Eddie excitedly rushed to hang it in a doorway and test it. Before they could sit, Steve picked up a nearby encyclopedia. He placed it gently into the swing and it held.

Eddie went to try it but again, Steve stopped them and placed another heavy book. This pattern repeated until the approximation of Eddie’s weight was represented in books. It held.

“Great, can I try it now?” They asked. Steve begrudgingly agreed and removed the first book. Well, he tried to. As soon as the swing moved a little, it fell apart. Steve threw his hands in the air and walked away in frustrated silence.

“IKEA ass sex swing.” He mumbled. They picked up all the pieces and went to try again.

Half-way through the second attempt he threw in the towel and pulled out their phone, dialing a number.

“Hey, Robin. How good are you at putting together furniture?” They asked.

I'm Coming Out

@genderthings Eddie’s gender week day 3 prompt “tie/trans” | rating: G | transwoman Eddie Munson summary: Eddie comes out to the party. AO3

Eddie took a deep breath as Robin put the finishing touches on her hair. She took her black bandanna and tied it into a cute headband bow, pulling pieces of Eddie’s curls down to frame her face. Today she wanted to look perfect; she was coming out to the party today. She’s been out to Robin for nearly a year. She smiled at her girlfriend when she remembered that conversation. She’d been so nervous.

~~~

It was the first time Robin came over to the trailer alone, but Eddie couldn’t do this in front of an audience. She wanted to tell Robin first since she knew about her sexuality. Eddie hoped the solidarity would give her confidence.

“Robin. I need to tell you something.” She began. “It’s kind of hard to say.” Robin grabbed her hand and held it tightly.

“Whatever it is, I’m here for you. You’re my best friend.” She smiled. Eddie nodded and took a deep breath.

“I’m trans.” She mumbled. Robin furrowed her eyebrows. “I’m actually a girl. Is that okay?” Robin didn’t answer for a minute and Eddie panicked. She stood and began pacing around the living room. “I’m sorry. I know that maybe that does change things between us but I really needed you to know because you’re my best friend and I couldn’t hide this from you anymore and I have a huge crush on you and I know that maybe that doesn’t matter because of what’s downstairs but I still thought you should know. Robin please say something.” Eddie rambled before she froze and stared at the other girl. Robin slowly stood, took Eddie’s hand again, and led her to sit down.

“Okay. Thank you for telling me. I’m really proud of you, this doesn’t change anything between us.” Robin said. Eddie sighed in relief. “Good.” She hugged the other girl.

Robin helped Eddie find her style and she was free to be her real self around her. A few months after she came out, Robin asked her out on a date.

“Really? Even though I have a…” She trailed off and curled into herself.

“I will admit, I don’t know my way around one,” Robin began. “But that doesn’t mean I can’t learn. You’re still the most beautiful girl I’ve ever met and you’re my best friend so I know we’ll click personality wise.” Eddie giggled and nodded.

~~~

They’ve been together ever since and Robin was Eddie’s biggest support. The only other person in the group who knew about Eddie was Steve. It was partially an accident. Robin made a comment about the two of them dating and confused the shit out of poor Steve. He showed up in the middle of the night to break the news to her that Robin was a lesbian and was probably using Eddie as a beard. His heart was in the right place but the warning was ultimately unnecessary.

The knock on the door broke Eddie out of her thoughts.

“It’ll be okay, babe. And if not, you’ll still have me and Steve.” She promised. Eddie nodded and let the party into the trailer.

“Come in, sit down.” Eddie gestured to her small living room. The group piled in and Eddie gulped at the handful of weird looks she got for her outfit. She hadn’t wanted to startle the group, but she didn’t want to hide either. She wore a simple summer dress, her legs were freshly shaved. Once everyone settled, Eddie stood in front of the TV to address the whole room.

“Um…” She began. Her hands shook. Suddenly, she wanted to run and hide under her covers. Steve gave her a thumbs up and Robin smiled encouragingly.

“Man, what are wearing?” Mike chimed in, bordering on disgust.

“What does it look like, shithead?” Steve growled.

“Guys!” Argyle yelled before there could be anymore comments. “Let him continue.” Eddie flinched at the words even as she appreciated the sentiment.

“I’m not…” She took a deep breath but couldn’t continue. Steve clocked the helplessness in her face and stood to wrap her up in a hug.

“Dude, what’s going on?” Dustin asked. The annoyance at being left out of the loop, clear in his tone.

“Take your time.” Steve whispered. Since he knew the truth, Steve has been her biggest cheerleader aside from Robin. He fought someone at the queer bar the other day for saying shit to her, and he actually won!

She felt another body pressed to her back and smiled when she realized it was Robin. She grasped her girlfriend’s hands and absorbed their warmth.

“Can I tell them like this?” She whispered. Steve nodded and crab walked them around until Eddie’s head peaked out from the middle of the hug circle.

“I’m transgender.” She admitted quietly. The group burst into loud questions from left to right.

“One at at time.” Robin spat.

“What’s transgender?” Lucas asked.

“You cannot be that dumb.” Erica raised her eyebrows at her brother. He pushed her shoulder. She pushed back and the two entered into a slap fight until Jonathon put a stop to it.

“It means you were born in the wrong body, right?” Nancy asked. Eddie nodded.

“Where’s the right body?” El asked innocently.

“I’ll explain that one to you later, okay?” Jonathon promised.

“That’s why you’re wearing a dress, man?” Mike sneered. Eddie shrunk in on herself just a bit. Max smacked him on the back of the head.

“I think she looks beautiful.” She said with a harsh glare at the boy. Eddie’s cheeks heated at the compliment.

“Yeah, yellow really is your color. Who woulda thought with the way you normally dress.” Erica interjected.

Dustin stared at her in contemplation, like she was a hard jigsaw puzzle.

“You told Steve before you told me?” He asked, poorly disguised hurt bleeding through. “I thought you trusted me.” Eddie pulled out of the hug and went to sit next to him.

“It’s not about that. I planned on telling everyone at the same time but I needed to tell Steve before because…” She trailed off. She didn’t know if Robin wanted to keep it a secret but before she could ask, another question popped up.

“Wait, are you dating Steve?” Will whispered. Robin and Steve gasped but for different reasons.

“Um, no! She’s my girlfriend thank you.” Robin blurted out. Eddie whipped around to look at her in shock and laughed when she saw Steve’s hand pressed to Robin’s mouth.

“Eddie already came out once today!” He exclaimed.

“So you’re a lesbian?” Erica asked. Robin nodded since Steve’s hand still blocked her mouth.

“That’s why you never wanted to date Steve.” Dustin threw his hands in the air like that explained everything. And to Dustin, maybe it did.

Eddie answered a few more questions from the group before Steve suggested they move the party to his house so they could all watch a movie and have a sleep over. Max asked to ride over alone with Eddie and she could never say no to the little gremlin. She pressed a soft kiss to Robin’s cheek before they went toward their separate rides.

As the two got into Eddie’s van to drive to Steve’s, Max stared at her hands. Something was on her mind, but Eddie knew better than to ask.

“Fuck Mike Wheeler.” She mumbled. Eddie snorted at the deadpan delivery even though she agreed. “He shouldn’t have acted like that.”

“Well, Mike Wheeler is a notorious shithead so, I expected worse.” She admitted.

“What Nancy said, about being born in the wrong body.” Max continued. “Can that go the other way?”

Eddie’s eyes widened but she tried to remain calm. She was about to have her first queer mentor moment.

“Like can a girl feel like she was supposed to be born as a boy?” Eddie asked just to clarify. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught Max’s nod.

“Yeah. It can go the other way. Do you...know someone who might feel that way?” Eddie didn’t want to force Max to confess anything, but she wasn’t about to slam the door in her face.

“Sometimes...I do.” Max whispered. Eddie took another deep breath and pulled over to the side of the road.

“Thank you for sharing that.” Eddie turned to face Max. “If you feel that way, sometimes or all the time, it’s real. You can talk to me about this stuff, okay? I promise I won’t think of you any differently.” Max nodded. They sat in silence for a few minutes so Eddie started back to the Harrington house. As the parked outside, Max’s hand paused on the car door handle.

“Hey Eddie? I wasn’t kidding earlier when I said you look great in that dress.” Max smiled and popped out of the car.

Eddie sat in the driver’s seat for a few more minutes lost in thought. Did she just gain another little brother?
