That's the Brakes
Author's Note: Hello lovelies! This is a little drabble which was inspired by a piece of fan art- a piece of fan art that I foolishly did not like or reblog! The picture was of Steve and Eddie crowded together on a subway... and this little fic was born. If you know the piece I'm talking about, please tag me or, even better, if you're the artist, please let me know! I'd love to tag you and your incredible, inspiring art! Pairing: Steddie Setting: No Upside Down/ Everybody lives and our boys are in the Big City! Warnings: None- it's just a sweet little 600 words!
“And that’s another thing, Harrington-” the subway car lurched forward, Eddie, riding the wave like any expert public transportation surfer would, carried on without interruption, “-I couldn’t get a word in edgewise! Guy was just blah, blah, blah all night.”
God, Steve was sick and tired of this shit. Another day, another story about a failed first date and another chance for him to deny just how much it hurt to hear Eddie talking about a new person that had caught his eye when he- Steve Harrington- was right there! Clinging to his sanity and the metal rod that connected to the train’s ceiling with a white-knuckled grip. Still he managed to chuckle goodnaturedly over the squeal of braking train tires, “Usually that’s your job, huh? Talking nonstop, I mean.” Beneath their feet the city rolled by as Eddie let go of the leatherette strap that now swung freely between them to croon mournfully, “Why must you cut me so deeply, sir?” And maybe he would have said more, teased and taunted and twisted Steve up until he couldn’t think in the humid subway car where it smelled like chemical covered urine and a thousand sweaty bodies and where the scratchy speakers announced locations that didn’t match any map he had ever seen. Maybe Eddie would have waited for Steve to play along? Giving him half a chance to make his own joke and then they would both be laughing before Eddie went off on a tangent about dice or mice or metal men and how they weren’t robots but they weren’t not robots either. Whatever, it didn’t matter, because just as Steve opened his mouth to respond the train slammed to a hard stop, rocking him backwards. Thankfully, he was holding on tight. But Eddie, well, Eddie pushed into him at roughly the velocity of a speeding transit authority subway car, his wiry frame colliding with a solid wall of Steve. Leather clad arms instinctively wrapped around his torso, a mop of wayward waves flew into his face and then there were eyes, round and deep and impossibly rich with fringey lashes that framed his bestest friend’s momentary panic, staring up and into his own. Lips, pink and plush and so fucking pretty, parted around the eloquent exclamation of “Uh-” and Steve knew that Eddie saw it.
Could pinpoint the exact moment when the lithe metalhead nerd read Steve’s thoughts. The unguarded ones about hearts and love and forever. Thoughts about kissing that so close to his own smart mouth until the pair of them were gasping for air. Steve knew Eddie saw it all written in plain English across his face and held his breath. Keeping one hand on the support bar but daring to let the other curl along the line of Eddie’s black belt, his fingers splayed over a denim clad hip before pulling them closer together only to whisper, “I got ya, Ed.” “I guess so, huh, Stevie?” There was no use trying to stop the smile that filled his face when Eddie steadied himself using Steve for support. That wayward hand of his having wandered under a once black, now softly and subtly grayed t-shirt to stroke against the firm flesh of Eddie’s back without question or complaint. Nose to nose now, the train grunted to a start, picking up speed between stations, but Eddie didn’t move away.
Swaying together along the rail car’s route Steve held onto the grabber bar, Eddie held onto him and if they stepped onto the city’s grimly platform two stops later, fingers entwined, that was nobody’s business but their own.

I think there's a special place in Hell saved for people who put their bags/suitcases on the seat next to them on stuffed trains
#its just very very selfish and I don't see the point in it#'I don't want anybody to sit next to me' okay?? you're using public transport?? on the way to a big city?? that takes a hot minute to ->#get there??#the underfoot and overhead storage is right there if you want to complain about that#we're already squished together mate literally having ANYBODY be able to sit down is a blessing#mel's thoughts

Nothing quite like the bond between you and the person beside who has also been sleeping for most of the trip
#something something bless my country's public transportation services but#sigh sigh#you can get the 5 pm bus and be sure you'll be at home at 7#not because of distance#usually that same trajectory would take an hour#but because of traffic jams#I hate you traffic jams

my favorite things that have happened to me on public transit
I genuinely love riding the bus because you can be part of little momentary human connections and it's always an interesting and blessed experience, so here's my list of some of my favorite moments on public transportation in no particular order
a man was sitting with a few bags of groceries in the priority seats, and then a mom and kid in a stroller got on, so he moved. the mom was apologetic that he had to move all his bags, but he was really cool about it and very friendly. he pulled a bag of kit-kats out of his bags and gave it to the kid, who was really happy. all of the other people on the bus were happy after getting to see that fun little display of kindness.
someone got on the bus and asked the driver how to get somewhere. he couldn't get to his destination on our bus, but he sat down anyway. another passenger told him that he could call the transit info hotline to get directions. the lost guy didn't have any minutes on his phone, so the other passenger offered his phone. Phone guy had the info hotline phone number memorized and I like to imagine he is a person who can memorize any phone number after just seeing it once.
waiting at a bus stop with two older women. we were all coming from a discount craft supplies sale and we talked about the good deals we got and complimented each others earrings.
a guy was waiting at a stop with me and he asked if I was in school and what I was studying. when I told him i studied geography, he got really excited because he had studied geography back in Pakistan and loved exploring google earth. we had a really fun time nerd-ing out together at the bus stop.
the bus driver had the exact same laugh as the hobo guy on the roof of the train in the polar express movie
polar express laughing driver seemed to recognize a lot of his passengers and was joking with them, including telling a drunk passenger about times he had also been really drunk. not sure it made me particularly confident in his driving, but it was really entertaining to listen to
another time a bus driver was super helpful announcing every stop, helping a passenger who didn't speak English and was lost, and greeted everyone who got on. I was getting off the bus at the last stop and told the driver to have a good day as I was exiting, and he said "only if you do!!" I didn't have the heart to tell him I was heading to a library to read several hundred pages of dense analysis of war crimes and genocide for grad school and so I probably wasn't going to have a good day and he would need to have a good day all on his own.
any time I was able to play peek-a-boo with a baby sitting near by is always delightful
like, if any of us had taken cars, the little kid wouldn't have got her kit-kats and the other passengers wouldn't have seen a really sweet genuine random act of kindness
idk y'all, I just love existing with other people on the bus and having them being a small little part of my life for a little bit while we ride the bus together.
#public transportation#public transit#bus#wholesome#wholesome moments#people are good#we are all just people and I am blessed to exist with them on the bus#bus theology

I’m Italian but I’ll write this in English so the last anon can understand. AFHF was an extremely subjective experience. I saw people fainting and having panic attacks with my own eyes, but I also saw how quickly security and Louis’ bodyguards acted. They were also super quick to hand out fresh water to anyone who asked for it. Personally the situation among the crowd was difficult at times because I felt overwhelmed and suffocated by the crowd, I hadn’t a single centimeter left to move my head, let alone to breathe. The situation was way better at the end of the parterre even though I wasn’t even that close to the stage. As for the aftermath, there was no public transportation and people had to wait at the local Mc Donald’s for a taxi which I can assure was very difficult to get. It’s just there were less people at the festival, most of them drove there, some others bought tickets for various bus companies and some others maybe had the accommodation near the venue but yeah, some of us had our problems to get back as well. So yeah, it was a great experience but it wasn’t the best for all us, just very subjective…as everything else
Sorry to hear this ☹️
#feel very blessed cause my experience was flawless#I couldn’t tell one criticism based on my experience honestly#but many are complaining so I must be the exception#but still… have you ever tried to take the metro from san siro after a show or assago?#the public transportation is not meant to deal with high traffic of people at the same time from the same place#even more when it’s not a metropolitan city or a huge capital

I’m too tired and dizzy to find a chart, but it feels like every day for the past two weeks has gone over 30ºC (86F), some days going all the way to 34ºC (93F). Summer won’t start for some two weeks or so, but there’s no end in sight.
It’s been hell. Relentless heat with o reprieve, no AC at home. Can’t stress enough how unusual this is and how homes & lots of shops aren’t built for this. I’m constantly dizzy and have migraines because of this. Can’t get enough sleep because it’s hot, even late at night.
I’m becoming a quarantine recluse once again. Who wants to go out when it’s that hot? Who wants to do anything in this heat? I’m even running out of ideas of what to cook.
I hate climate change and I hate even more that I can’t go delivering knuckle sandwiches to those responsible. Just stop making things worse for everyone on this planet ffs
#blessings upon whoever decided to buy buses with ac for our public transport#they do make life so much bearable#fuck climate change#i’m not built for this#heat and I don’t get along#rant#I’m so tired of this#:/#not a queued post
