#and it all culminates in mike runaway bride-ing it right before the ceremony and el's just like :) thank goodness

i was going to make a post that was just:

steve, watching took girls he used to be in love with kiss: *in the least creepy way possible* hell yeah :)

and in the tags i typed "steve being besties with all his exes" and then immediately thought of the fact that, yes, steve is friends with all his exes, EXCEPT for eddie

like, eddie and him have a quick summer fling or something, it burns hot and it burns FAST. but then, like in all relationships, they both change. they both start thinking of the ✨future✨ and... steve's not leaving hawkins anytime soon, you know? and eddie wants nothing more than to get out. but they're both attached, more than they thought they were, so it's not necessarily an amiable break. it's not horrible, they don't hate each other or anything. but there's lots of tears and a little bit of yelling, and then...

eddie leaves. and they never speak again.

and they think of each other, sure. in new partners, in new experiences, wondering what it might be like if— except that's not the reality anymore. they're NOT together anymore, so there's no sense in wondering, right?

except... they do. they do wonder, they do wish, they do miss each other, they still want each other. but that ship's sailed. he's moved on, they think. he's moved on and his happy with someone else.

and of course, that's when mike and el's wedding happens to everyone.

#anyways the wedding is an absolute DISASTER#steddie are being awkward#ronance is being TOO in love#dustin is wreaking havoc#and it all culminates in mike runaway bride-ing it right before the ceremony and el's just like :) thank goodness#she slow dances with hopper and max and steve and robin and eddie at the reception turned no wedding party.#anyways steddie is the least of anyone's worries and the two of them are just staring at the drama like wow 🍿#and then eddie gets too drunk and proposes to steve while he's slow dancing with mrs. wheeler#steve does not say yes ofc not but he does hold eddies hand and kiss his cheek regularly for the rest of the night which is just as good tb#okay this is a whole outline i might as well write the romcom of my life

saving my tags to add also that steve IS still good friends with all his exes and eddie has to suffer his two doppelgängers (steve's re-bounds post steddie) in his friend group now
