#dustin was the ring bearer

[eddieintheupsidedown]

Eddie: And this is my ex boyfriend Steve

Steve: I told you to stop introducing me like that

Steve: I‘m his husband

[starrystevie]

it was all supposed to be a joke. they were supposed to be in steve’s backyard with all their friends and family in shitty lawn chairs, holding cans of budweiser and jamming to whatever song eddie was in the mood for that day blasting through the speakers. steve was supposed to be in front of them all in a tuxedo t-shirt and powder blue dress pants, flowers in his hair that had been teased to high heaven and dark black sunglasses to keep out the bright sun. that’s how they had planned it all those years ago when they’d been high and drunk and young and in love.

but somehow instead, the yard is full of flowers and benches that hopper and wayne put together with spare wood for everyone to sit on and there’s an archway at the end of the aisle and soft acoustic songs spilling gently out of the speakers. steve’s still at the front, that was always supposed to happen, but this time he’s wearing an actual tux, light cream with a boutonnière and everything, and his hair is pushed back just so. there’s no flowers in his hair and no sunglasses but it’s cloudy enough of a day where he doesn’t really need them anyway.

they weren't even supposed to do this. there wasn't supposed to be a grand entrance and a walk down the aisle, no flower girls or ring bearers or anything remotely traditional. but what started off as, "well, i wouldn't mind walking down the aisle," and "i think exchanging rings would be cool," and "who cares if it isn't legal, i'm going to marry you anyway damnit," turned into this beautiful day of friends and family and love.

robin’s standing beside him in a tux of her own, pinstripe grey donning a pocket boutonnière that matches nancy’s bouquet, with a few notecards in her hands. and speaking of nancy, she’s heading down the aisle in a flowing dress, and when her eyes catch robin’s, she crinkles her nose before blowing her a kiss. she stands opposite of steve as eddie's not-quite-bridesmaid and grips her bouquet tightly, her eyes never leaving robin's.

and then there's dustin. he's in a tux that matches steve's and he has his curls pushed back with probably too much gel and a tie that suzie got him for their 3rd anniversary. the best thing he's sporting, though, is the smile on his face and the ring box in his hand and the joy in his eyes as he looks out at the crowd. having him there as best man and smelling the cheap cologne he wears so he seems more grown up calms steve's ever beating heart enough to where he doesn't think he'll throw up from nerves anymore.

all of their loved ones are surrounding them in clothes steve’s never seen before but he couldn’t care at all what they’re wearing because they’re all smiling wide and bright at him. he catches himself rocking back and forth on his feet so he shakes out his hands and holds them behind his back to distract himself. his stomach is rolling with waves or butterflies and when he catches joyce's eye in the front row, she mimes taking in a deep breath which he instantly copies. the soft grin she sends in return tells him that he thinks it could actually work to settle him. mothers have that healing way about them.

he’s never been good with weddings, always fidgeting in a too tight suit his mom picked out, but he never thought he’d be this antsy at his own.

steve's just about to give up and sprint down the aisle to get eddie so they can run away together and leave nerves and or butterflies behind him, but then the music stops. he sees lucas changing out the tapes quickly, giving a thumbs up to mike who throws one to will who runs back behind the shed to where he knows eddie is waiting and when will pops his head back out to run back to his seat, it hits him.

he's getting married.

steve doesn't have time to think about it anymore than he already has been for the last 8 years because eddie's coming around the corner of the shed.

'here comes the sun' is playing out over the speakers, soft and perfect, and eddie's smiling, wide and beautiful, and steve can't help but mirror it back to him. the clouds overhead seem to hear them, hear the song and hear their hearts beating in time with each other, because as soon as eddie gets to the aisle, bright warm rays of sunlight peak out and make the rhinestones he demanded line the lapels of his own black tux shine like real diamonds.

steve stops breathing. he swears he does, and he knows his family are all feeling the same way. he can hear a few gasps, hears joyce muttering what she thinks is a silent, "oh my god," in hop's ear, and watches how wayne stands up just a bit straighter from his front row seat.

eddie glides down the aisle like the drama king he is, soaking in the looks from everyone they care about and soaking in the sun that seems to come out only for him. it's like the sun knows he's a star, too, and wants to come out to be with one of it's own. eddie's always been sunshine and starlight and a blinding thing to look at and take in. he's the light, steve's the moth, and a few clouds on their wedding day could never change it.

"well, that was insanely good timing," eddie whispers to steve once he reaches him. his grin softens and he brings up a hand to wipe gently at the tear tracks on steve's cheeks. "hi, baby."

and steve can do nothing but choke out a laugh, catching eddie's hand in his own so he press a kiss to his palm. he thinks he can feel eddie's heartbeat against his lips and, even if it's his brain playing tricks on him, he likes the sentiment that it brings. "i love you so fucking much."

it's eddie's turn to get teary-eyed and the sun glints off the tears that fall down his cheek before heading back behind the clouds, dotting quick-to-fade sparkles on his face like a wedding present.

steve kisses him. he can't help it. it's nothing but a fast press of lips, watery smile to watery smile, and everyone is cheering except for robin.

"hey! it's not time for that yet," she says with a pretend scowl, arms pressing to each of their chests to keep them apart. it's enough to leave nancy giggling where she stands behind eddie, her laugh like bells bouncing off of the trees surrounding them. "just give me like ten minutes and we'll have you married and you can kiss all you want then."

steve swears he can hear mike groan at that which cause him to grin which cause eddie to grin back and then they're holding hands like it's the only way to get through the next ten minutes. and it might just be the only way to get through it. knowing them, if they didn't hold on tight, one of them would make a move first and there'd be hands around waists and fingers tangled in hair and robin would hate them forever because she wouldn't get to do her speech.

it's after vows are shared, after rings are on fingers, after kisses are pressed to lips and cheeks and temples and hands and everything else they can quickly reach, that the two of them get some peace. everyone is inside eating snacks and drinking cheap champagne, and it goes unspoken that they're going to take some time for themselves. take some time to bask in their new maybe not-so-legally real but as real as could ever be in their hearts marriage.

they make their way, hand in hand like they've always been meant to do, to a table set up for them. eddie pops a bottle of champagne that they pass back and forth between themselves as they share cheesy smiles and champagne-laced kisses. and it's as they look into each other's eyes, fingers lacing so their rings clink softly against each other, that the sun peaks out to say hello once more.

[dwobbitfromtheshire]

Steve to Jonathan: You're lucky that you get Hopper as a father now.

Dustin: *jokingly* Well, if you marry Jonathan, Hopper would be your father too.

Steve: *thoughtfully* That's not the worst idea.

Nancy: Excuse me, Jonathan's my boyfriend.

Steve: Oh, don't worry, I'm not leaving you out, I'll marry you too. That way, Hopper will be your father in law too, and Joyce will be our mother in law.

Nancy: That sounds fair. What do you think? Fall wedding?

Jonathan: Do I get a say in this?

Steve and Nancy: *inflates their eyes*

Jonathan: . . .yeah, okay, I'll marry you.

Dustin: . . .is this really happening?

Steve: You can be the ring bearer like Frodo if you promise not to freak out.

Dustin: *runs off* SUCK IT, MIKE, I'M FRODO.

Jonathan: Aren't we still a little young?

Steve: We'll say it's a shotgun wedding and that Nancy got us pregnant.

Jonathan: *gasps* Nancy!

Nancy: *giggles* I'll bring my shotgun.

[spectrum-spectre]

idea based on my role at my Ma's actual wedding: Steddie having a Lord of the Rings-themed wedding, and instead of arguing over who gets to have Dustin be their Best Man, they convince him to dress up as Frodo and have him be the Ring Bearer.

[mikewheeler-anon]

Ahhh I can’t wait to see you again!!!!

I’m honestly horrified of whatever my cousin/doppelgänger put in that box….

Hey it’s okay I don’t mind waiting take your time getting showered.

She really missed you as well so did Jonathan,El (especially her she kept asking me “when’s Will coming home with those sad puppy eyes. :( ) and the others.

Genetics are so funny because how am I the only person with black hair in my family.

[sunflowerharrington]

writing prompt: “where did you find it?” (from discord) (but i changed it slightly to “where did you find that?”)

(not read back over or anything so if you see any mistakes or out of character moments… no you didn’t)

Robin’s always been a bit of a magpie. Anything shiny catches her attention. But not just shiny things… Velvet too. And the little box she just noticed on Steve’s nightstand can prove that.

She picks it up, quietly examining it, letting the soft texture brush against her fingertips, before the door swings open. She jumps, and the box flies out of her hands, hitting Steve point blank in the forehead.

“Robin,” he says, panic written all over his face and laced within his words. “Where did you find that? Did I leave it out?”

“What is it? Planning on proposing to the love of your life, your little snookums, Miss Nancy?”

“What? No!” He says, accidentally raising his voice to a yell, quickly shoving it in his top drawer. “It was for you.”

“Steve, you know I’m—”

“I know, I know, but… You know the way Claudia and Wayne made a pact that they said if they weren’t married by forty they’d marry each other? Well, I bought that ring and was going to keep it safe just in case we both aren’t married by then too.”

Her heart jumps, leaping into her mouth. He’s… “You’re being serious?” She says, and the corners of her lips curl up into a smile. “You softie! You wanna marry me if we don’t find anyone?”

“Of course,” his own smile reaches his eyes and lips, matching hers. “I love you more than anything in this world, and since we’re platonic soulmates or whatever Eddie calls it… I just thought it would be a good idea… or something.”

“It’s not a good idea,” she says, and his eyes widen. Oh shit. Didn’t word that the right way.

“What? Oh, sorry. Sorry. I just… Let’s just forget about it, yeah?”

“You didn’t let me finish, Dingus!” She laughs, folding her arms around his waist and tugging him down so she can kiss his forehead. “That’s one of the best, most amazing ideas you’ve ever come up with.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, really. And I love you too.”

“So if we’re not married by… Let’s say… Forty, same as Wayne and Claudia, we marry each other?”

“Yes! Yes!” She squeals, spinning him around with her, making him laugh. “But I’m not wearing a dress! Well both go in suits?”

“Absolutely. Dustin as the ring bearer?”

“Max as the maid of honour?”

“No,” he whines. “She’ll just make fun of me!”

“That’s the whole point,” she laughs, and he pouts. “And one hundred percent no kisses at the altar.”

“One hundred percent,” he repeats. “But what if someone objects?”

“Let’s just say I’ll invite our old friend The Demogorgon to the wedding and let him loose.”

Royal Rumble Marathon: 1996

We’re rumbling into 1996.

Spoilers for past Rumbles.

Sunny, from her bathtub, warns us viewer indiscretion is advised. The Attitude Era doesn’t officially begin until 1997 but hints of it began way back in 1995 with the Pamela Anderson skit and continues with Sunny’s vignettes.

The undercard:

Jeff Jarrett vs Ahmed Johnson. Meh.

The Bodydonnas (Chris Candido/Tom Prichard, accompanied by Sunny) vs the Smoking Guns (Billy & Bart) for the WWF Tag Team titles. More meh.

Billionaire Ted skit with a fake Hogan, Savage, and Mean Gene. We’re wasting pay per view time on this?

Recap of the Razor Ramon – Goldust feud. Mr Machismo doesn’t appreciate Golddust’s flirtations.

Golddust (accompanied by Marlena) vs Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental title. Was this Terri Runnel’s debut for the WWF? The commentators refer to Marlena as an “unknown woman”. Golddust and Marlena’s gimmicks are forerunners to the Attitude Era. Marlena causes a distraction as the 1-2-3 Kid attacks Razor, allowing Dustin to pin Ramon and become the new Intercontinental champion.

Hype vignettes for Royal Rumble participants: Owen, Jake Roberts, Jerry Lawler, Vader, Shawn,

For the first time the Rumble does not end the pay per view – we still have a Bret/Taker match for the World championship. I never like when the Rumble itself doesn’t end the pay per view.

The entrants, in order of appearance:

Hunter Hearst Helmsley

Henry Godwin

Bob Backlund

Jerry Lawler

Bob “Spark Plug” Holly

Mabel (accompanied by Mo) Mo remains at ringside – there doesn’t seem to be year to year consistency on whether seconds are allowed to remain at ringside.

Jake “the Snake” Roberts

Dory Funk Jr (Vince notes Terry was also invited but is watching the ppv from Germany)

Yokozuna

1-2-3 Kid (spends his first few minutes in the Rumble attempting to avoid an angry Razor)

Takao Omori (Vince actually mentions All-Japan by name!)

Savio Vega (formerly known as Kwang)

Vader (accompanied by Jim Cornette)

Doug Gilbert (Henning & Vince mention both USWA and Eddie Gilbert, Doug won a tournament in Memphis to qualify for the tournament)

Squat Team Member #1 (1/2 of the Headshrinkers)

Squat Team Member #2 (1/2 of the Headshrinkers)

Owen Hart

Shawn Michaels

Hakushi

Tatanka

Aldo Montoya

Diesel

Kama

“The Ringmaster” Steve Austin

Barry Horowitz

Fatu

Isaac Yankem, DDS

Marty Janetty

Davey Boy Smith

Duke Droese

 Winner: Shawn Michaels

Longest performance: Hunter Hearst Helmsley

First-time Rumblers: Hunter, Dory Funk Jr, 1-2-3 Kid, Omori, Vader, Doug Gilbert, the Headshrinkers, Hakushi, Aldo Montoya, Steve Austin, Barry Horowitz, Isaac Yankem

Surprise Entrants: Dory Funk, Omori, Doug Gilbert, the Headshrinkers

We have two “clear the ring without eliminating everyone” spots: Henry Godwin with his slop bucket (Backlund and Lawler are the recipients) and Jake Roberts using Damian (his snake) – Lawler gets covered with Damian. Was Lawler on someone’s shit list?

Vader does the “eliminate everyone” spot but as he was previously eliminated none of his eliminations count.

Lawler is the first participant in a Rumble to hide under the ring.

1996 is the first year all participants receive entrance music. Finally! A small thing but it adds to the presentation.

The pay-per-view ends with Bret Hart vs the Undertaker (accompanied by Paul Bearer).   Diesel causes a disqualification, costing Taker the match. The match was fine but I’m not a fan of Taker.

Interviews with Gorilla Monsoon, Shawn, Diesel, Vader, and Jim Cornette.

Rating: 4 out of 10

Wrestlers and others who have passed on: Howard Finkel, Curt Hennig, Chris Candido, Razor Ramon, Mable (Visera), Yokozuna, Vader, Owen, Paul Bearer, Gorilla Monsoon

Total number of deceased individuals: 10 (down 5 from the previous Rumble).

[Page 135 has a photograph on it of Eddie being lifted onto the shoulders of the Corroded Coffin boys. None of them truly thought they would get married, especially not Eddie and Gareth, yet here they were and they’re so proud that their emotions out themselves like they’re a bunch of jocks. Jeff and Chris are bearing most of Eddie’s weight while Gareth is just grinning widely as he stabilizes a manically laughing Eddie. None of their suits are done up properly and a sense of happiness and pride wafts off the image.]

Robin is sitting on the ground next to Steve, legs thrown over his lap. Their heads are bend together as they admire the ring on Steve’s hand. Robin is smiling softly, while Steve still looks to be in awe, like he still can’t quite believe it.]

Suprise! Wedding.

Dustin Henderson x M!Reader

Reader is Max's fratenral twin brother, yay. (Canon is quaking).

--------

"Oh come on, Max! Please! You HAVE to!"

"Just because he's my brother doesn't mean I'll sell him out to you!"

"It's not selling him out! It's helping me!"

Dustin countered, flinging his arms to the side. Max had her arms crossed, rolling her eyes. Dustin had been begging her for two days to set him up with Y/N, and she had been putting it off, but now she was bacjed into a corner.

"Just take him somewhere! How about the arcade?"

"Did that yesterday."

".. Pool?"

"Did that as friends."

"Dustin!"

"Maaax!"

Dustin fell backwards onto his bed, and Max sighed, rubbing one of her temples.

"Just ask him out literally anywhere!"

"What if he says no?"

"Just ask Y/N out! It's obvious you're in love with him!"

Y/N blinked, standing in the doorway. Max and Dustin were silent. Dustin made a low groaning noise, lying face down on his bed, and Max was stumbling over her words.

"Y/N! Uh, hi- I d-didn't know you were, uh, you were there! I-"

"Oh shut up, Max. Get your ginger ass out of here."

Max mocked him, stepping out and shutting the door, leaving the two boys inside. Dustin refused to get up when Y/N shook him, and Y/N gave up, sitting next to him on the bed.

"Dustin Henderson, if you don't get up and talk to me I swear to God I will shove Max's skateboard down your throat!"

"Fine, fine! Jeez!"

He rolled over, sitting up. His face was flushed, and he avoided eye contact with Y/N as much as possible. Y/N sighed, relaxing his body. He grabbed Dustin by the back of his beck, smashing their lips together. Dustin quickly got situated, holding onto Y/N's shoulders as the other boy gently held onto the back of Dustin's head, worried of hurting him if he were to thread his fingers through the curls. Their inexperience in kissing showed in the messy clash of teeth and theor noses bumping, but neither one really cared. They only seperated when Max bust open the door, cheering. Y/N and Dustin were both mortified suprised to see that Lucas, Mike, and El were outside of the door too.

"I want to be the best man!" Lucas called, and Mike smacked his chest.

"No, I am!"

"I'm the flower girl!"

"I want to be the ring bearer!"

The two boys, flushed and probably traumatized couldn't help but laugh.

"So, movies?" Dustin asked, scratching his cheek. Y/N pecked his forehead.

"Movies."

--------

*lucas and mike fist fought (playfully) to be the best man and they had to seperate them*

idk what the heck this is okay dont judge me I want to pat his head.

mike is the exact opposite, he also put all he had into his, but he was so emotional that it just came out as a stuttering, slurred, mess

will was scared mike didnt care as much about the wedding or the vows, and he was dead wrong

MIKE AND WILL ARE STRAIGHT UP SOBBING THE ENTIRE CEREMONY

joyce and jonathan cry so much because will is finally happy :))

mike byers. mike byers. mike byers.

mike was scared to ask will if he could have his last name, because he thought will would find it “less manly” of mike

but will breaks down SOBBING because this man who he loves to the end of the earth wants to be his, and share his name

but this is ofc followed with many “are sure”s and “you dont have to”s

to which mike responds every time “but i WANT to”

thats all i have!!! PLEASE send more requests in the asks, i will 100% do them :)))

Love Actually

Jonathan Byers x Reader

Season 2

Pt 2 of Bedtime Stories

a/n: I don’t think this did Part 1 justice, but it’s cute and I love it 🥲

Also if we haven’t noticed, I love the concept of Will loving Jonathan’s gf a little more than him 🫶

@m-rae23

━━━━━ © hxlyhoax 2022 do not steal, post on third party sites or translate my work. I do not own the rights to Stranger Things or any of the canon characters mentioned.

You laid down on the Byers’ living room floor, watching a movie with Will. He had begged you the last couple of days for a movie night, Just you two, He made sure Joyce and Jonathan were both busy.

It was halfway through said movie when you felt him tapping you, you looked down with a soft smile, “What’s up, bud?”

“Do you still love Jonathan?” he asked, innocent eyes staring up at you, while you tilted your head, wondering where this was coming from. “Because he still loves you, He’s still always talking about you. About, how pretty you are. How smart you are. Oh, and between me and you-” he paused, looking around then back to you, leaning closer, whispering, “He’s totally jealous of some Munson guy.”

You let out a small chuckle, “Eddie?”

“I don’t know, he only calls him Munson.”

You nodded, biting your lip, looking down at him, “I’ll tell you, but. you can’t tell anyone.”

The young boy nodded, holding up his pinky finger, “Promise”

“Did you also pinky promise, Jonathan?” you tilted your head, slowly lifting your head, while he shook his head, looping your pinky fingers together, smiling widely.

“I do”

Will’s smile grew larger, he stood up in victory, ignoring your semi judgmental look, dancing around the living room. “I knew it” he yelled, before tackling you into a bear hug.

You groaned, holding onto the young Byers’ boy, laughing silently. “Just so you know. Dustin, Lucas, Mike and I already have our placements for your guy’s wedding.”

“Oh.”

“Wanna hear em?”

“Sure, Will” you chuckled, holding onto him, the boy smiled almost mischievously. “I’m the best man, obviously.” he giggled, cuddling more into you. “Dustin is the flower boy, don’t ask, he was persistent.”

“Lucas the ring bearer.”

“And Mike?” you questioned, when the young boy went silent, “He wants to be the one who gives you away.” he smiled, furrowing his brows. “Said something about how you’ve always been like a sister and he deserves that right.”

You smiled, somehow just realizing how much you really meant to the little group of kids. “As for Max and Eleven, they weren’t around when we had the conversation.”

You nodded, “You all think about my wedding day more than I do.”

“We’ll even plan it for you, if you like.” the young boy giggled again, looking up to you, eyes shining, “You should go for it.”

“Go for what?”

“Jonathan, get back together with him.”

———————————————————————

It had been two hours after, Will was fast asleep in his room, no doubt dreaming about the wedding he wants You and Jonathan to have.

You on the other hand were finishing up an essay for your English Class. You were writing down the last paragraph when the door opened, you didn’t pay any mind to it, opting to finish what you were doing.

“Hey, Yn.” Jonathan smiled, closing the door. “Hi, Jonathan.” you replied, putting your school stuff back in your backpack, then, looking up at him, smiling.

A comfortable silence fell upon you both. You moved to the living room, while, he got himself something to eat. You bit your lip, silently thinking about the conversation you and Will had earlier.

You still held feeling for the oldest Byers’ boy. You looked over at him, watching as he ate. You admired him for a second, before zoning out, still staring at him.

He looked up at you, raising his eyebrow. “Everything alright?” he questioned, frowning once he didn’t get a response. “Yn?” he spoke a little louder, watching as you jumped. “Huh?”

“Are you alright?” he frowned, making his way over to you. “Yeah, i’m fine.” you nodded, looking down as he got closer. “I know when something’s bothering you, so what’s wrong?”

You looked at him once he sat down, shaking your head. “I’m okay, I promise.” you smiled, looking away again. Why was it so hard to confess your feelings when you knew he felt the same? You didn’t know.

“Yn, please.” he frowned, he hated seeing you like this, conflicted with your emotions, not wanting to open up. “I know something’s u-”

You cut him off, Your lips on his lips. He was frozen for a moment, before kissing back, wrapping his arms around you, pulling you closer to him. The both of you smiling into the kiss.

He was the first to pull away, looking down at you, eyes full of love, smiling. “Oh.” he chuckled, smiling, while you wrapped your arms around him. “How long have you been feeling this way?”

You shrugged, looking down again, blushing. “I never stopped loving you.”

His smile grew, tilting your head up with his fingers. You moved your head into his shoulder, before the both of you could make eye contact. He chuckled, rubbing your back. “No need to be embarrassed. I never stopped either. If anything I’ve probably grown more in love with you.”

You looked up at him, “Really?”

He nodded, pulling you closer, so you were sitting in his lap. You froze momentarily, staring down at him. “But i’m guessing Will already told you that.”

You nodded, holding back a chuckle. “Also told me his and the others placement for our wedding.”

“Huh?” the older boy questioned, looking at you, wide-eyed. “Oh, he hasn’t told you?”

“No, but please enlighten me.”

“Will’s the best man, Lucas is the ring bearer, Dustin the flower boy, and Mike wants to give me away. As for the girl’s I don’t know, they weren’t there during the conversation.”

“Well that’s less work for us then, already got our wedding team and we aren’t even getting married yet.” he chuckled, starting to play with your hair.

“But i’m being serious when I tell you, I’ve just grown more in love with you. You’ve always been here for us, especially Will, and if you haven’t noticed he loves you to death, pretty sure he loves you more than me.”

You stared at him, smiling, “No, he definitely loves you more, you’re his brother.” you giggled, moving your hand to his hair, running your fingers through it, while he shook his head. “No, he definitely loves you more. You should hear how you talks about you.”

You still held a smile, moving your head down, kissing him again. You missed this more than you’d like to admit. He kissed you back, wrapping his arms around your waist.

“Oh my god.”

You looked over, eyes-wide, seeing Will standing in the hallway, huge smile on his face. “Oh. My. God.” he yelled, once more, covering his mouth, trying to hide a squeal.

Both You and Jonathan chuckled, you moved back onto the couch, staring at the young boy. “Are you two back together?” he asked hopefully.

Your gaze moved to Jonathan, who was already staring at you. “Are we?”

“Yn”

“Yes, Jonathan”

“Will you be my girlfriend, again?”

You just stared at him, biting the inside of your cheek, fake debating on your answer. “I would be honored to be your girlfriend, again.”

“I’m the best wingman alive.” Will smiled, running to where you both sat, sitting in between you both, cuddling more into you. “Oh and the by the way. Yn, I love you more.”

[ima-ghost-art]

Okay I've just got this idea for steve x eddie wedding!!

(Bc they dont die/probably might die in my heart)

Since gay marriage was legalized in the US in 2015 they would be roughly 48-52? years old. You cant tell me that the two would definitely be some of the first to get married (same with robin and vickie)

Erica was their wedding planner. She made sure everything was PERFECT (she makes sure there is an icecream stand)

They would definitely have such a fun wedding!! Steve in a white suit, eddie wearing a black suit only the jacket is a leather one (hes definitely also wearing doc Martins)

They also had incredibly sappy speeches (lucas max Dustin and will had a bet in how many times eddie would use his pet names for steve, max wins its was alot)

Wayne and joyce walk them down the isle

(They 1 empty chair for chrissy and every one else who died because of the upsidedown)

The moment they mentioned they started wedding planning robin practically jumped at the idea of being steve maid of honor (she cryed when he asked her, she was so happy) her vickie max erica el and nancy are Steve's groom maids? (Is that a thing??) The hellfire club members make up Eddie's grooms men (one of the members of Corroded Coffin members is his best man)

Dustin is the flower man/ ring bearer because he couldnt pick a side to be on so he chose both! (He may be in his 40s at this point but they're still basically his dads)

He cried the whole time (especially through his speach) bc he was so happy his dads were finally getting their happy ever after every thing they've been through!

Robin is also crying!

Robin trys to make her speach as embarrassing as possible, but bc shes speaking really fast through tears so only a few people understand her

(steve and eddie love it tho and cant blame either of them for crying bc they have been in tears because they've been crying non stop ever since seeing eachother at the alter)

Nancy makes a speech about how shes glad steve found the person he could make his family with! (You cant tell me that these men havnt taken to fostering/ adopting as many kids as possible after everything in Hawkins calms down)

Max does a speach about how much shes happy that her two older brothers are able to have this day for them, even if they are a bunch of idiots who would forget she could hear them from her trailer!!

Wayne, joyce, hopper (and Robin's parents bc I feel like they would love and adopt steve) all also make emotional speeches about their kids, wayne would definitely be the most emotional.

Jonathan is their wedding photographer

They chose to have a simple small wedding cake, (an ice cream cake with a nail bat and guitar decoration on top) their was also alot of rainbow cupcakes (requested by vickie)

Their wedding song is 'Born to be my Baby' by bon jovi (it was a compromise bc steve didnt want heavy metal for their first dance like eddie wanted, and so, bc Steve's Eddie's baby they pick this song instead!!)

eddie definitely sang it to steve while they were dancing! Steve was definitely not crying while laughing at eddie who was definitely not singing it seriously at the beginning.

Corodded Coffin plays live as the wedding band, eddie goes up and joins them for a few songs before going back and joining his husband!! (They still cant believe they're officially married after everything with the upside down they are both still alive and able to openly love eachother)

Steve and robin flex their icecream scooping skills (they still got it even years later)

Eddie is very inlove with his husband

Steve is also very inlove with his husband

Dustin and will come together and announce the game they prepared for the couple + guests where its basically a scavenger hunt × dnd and everyone has a blast!! Somehow robin and hopper are covered in rainbow glitter, el was using her powers to levitate max out of her wheelchair to help them play, mike is stuck in a tree and Dustin somehow has a bucket on his head!! Steve and eddie loved it!!

Everyone left with massive smiles that day, was a great day and everyone had a great time! And it truly was a day to remember and love <3

Also argyle was the one who officiated the wedding

[cosmicbrowniefan]

who i think would be in the byler wedding party:

will’s: jonathan (best man), lucas, argyle, robin

mike’s: dustin (best man), nancy, eddie, max

they fought over el but then el just said fuck it and decided to get ordained and performed the ceremony

and uh. steve doubles as the flower girl and ring bearer

[kennahjune]

Dustin’s the ring bearer, Robin and El are flower girls, and Nancy is the officiant and yeah

Steve pulls his punches except when it's most needed. He doesn't really care if he gets hurt, but if it's someone he cares about. . .well, all bets are off. So, when Andy walked into the hospital, ready to finish Eddie off for what happened to Jason, even though it was Jason who put himself in that situation. Steve saw red. This guy was going to kill Eddie. This was the same guy who attacked Erica. Fuck no.

Steve pulled Andy away from Eddie's bed, pulled his arm back, and slugged Andy in the face. Andy opened his mouth to speak, and Steve punched him again. And again. And again, until Steve was on top of him. He grabbed him by the collar, practically picked him off the floor, and slammed him into the wall.

"If you and your friends ever come near Eddie Munson or the members of Hellfire, I will end you right where you stand. I want you to pass on this message along with something else: My dad's a lawyer, and if I ask, he would do whatever it takes to bury you and your goddamn family," Steve growled at him. "So, back. The. Fuck. Off."

Steve kneed him in the stomach, causing him to groan and clutch his stomach. Andy scurried out of their, looking over his shoulder as he did so. Steve groaned and clutched his own side, remembering his own wounds.

"Jesus, Steve!" Eddie squawked. "Would your dad really do that?"

"Nah, that actually requires him to actually care about something other than himself," Steve replied as he sat back down.

"You know," Wayne said, speaking up. "If you married my boy -,"

"Well, that's illegal," Eddie snorted.

"IF YOU MARRIED MY BOY, Steve, then you would have at least one parent that cares about you," Wayne said. "Besides, Eds, from what I gathered, it sounds like you and those kids have already done some pretty illegal things. What's one more?"

"I have to think about this for a minute," Steve said, pretending to think about it for a minute with a grin on his face.

"So, Steve, what do you say? You want to marry my boy?" Wayne asked, slapping his thigh.

"Wayne! You can't just propose to guys for me!" Eddie exclaimed, a panic look on his face. "Wayne!"

"Yes, I think I will marry your boy," Steve replied.

"Great, I'm going to go start planning it then. Oh, you also have Claudia. I'm gonna see if she wants to help me," Wayne said, clapping Steve’s shoulder on the way out while Eddie gaped at the two.

"Do I get a say in any of this?!" Eddie exclaimed.

"Do you not want to marry me?" Steve asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I didn't say that," he mumbled, playing with his blanket.

Dustin came in at that moment, his usual grin on his face and his hat having returned to his head.

"What did I miss?" Dustin asked, his hands on his hips.

"Wayne and I agreed that I will be marrying Eddie," Steve said.

"WHAT?!"

[okatebush]

The bell rang, signaling the end of class. The guys and I were quick to pack up our belongings before making a beeline for Mr. Clarke's desk, eager to see if the Heathkit came. All the while Mr. Clarke was reminding the already fleeting class of our homework assignment.

"Remember, finish chapter 12 and answer 12.3 on the difference between an experiment and other forms of science investigation. This will be on the test, which will cover chapters 10 through 12. It will be multiple choice with an essay section." His voice faltered towards the end of his sentence as he realized no one had been paying attention.

His head turned to us and he didn't seem too surprised to see us so eager. Mike couldn't take the wait any longer and spoke up on the behalf of all of us.

"So, did it come?"

Mr. Clarke looked solemn. "Sorry, guys," Our heads began to hang in disappointment at his words. "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but... It came!"

My face lit up with relief. We followed Mr. Clarke down the halls in anticipation. Mike got to the door first and eagerly threw it open, the rest of us close on his tail.

"Yes!"

Since Mike was the first through the door, naturally he dove for the desk chair as the rest of us scuttled over each other, each of trying to get a close look at it. Lucas and I seemed to have the same idea as we fiddled with the knobs on the Heathkit as Mr. Clarke addressed the new device we were all so eager to see.

"The Heathkit ham shack," The boys and I were in awe.

"Ain't she a beaut?" Mr. Clarke sighed. Dustin then spoke up. "I bet you could talk to New York on this thing."

"Think bigger." Said Mr. Clarke. I rose my eyebrow and looked to my teacher as I questioned, "California?"

"Bigger." 'No way.'

"Australia?" Mike pressed. We all turned out heads hopefully to Mr. Clarke as he responded with a smile and the shake of his head. We all exclaimed.

"Oh man," Lucas chuckled in excitement. "When Will sees this, he's totally gonna blow his shit." My smile faltered at the mention of Will, as Mr. Clarke scolds Lucas for his foul language. Lucas apologized turning back to the Heathkit, and I shake my head slightly trying to get my mind off of Will.

Lucas seems to have found the right settings on the dials based on the high pitch frequencies coming out of the Heathkit. Mike has the headphones on and begins to speak into the mic in an Australian accent.

"'Ello, this is Mike Wheela', president of Hawkins Middle AV Club."

Dustin then practically ripped the headphones off of Mike's head, a big goofy grin on his face as he placed them on his head. Mike was in a fit of giggles as he spoke. "What are you doing?" Dustin proceeded to do the exact same thing as Mike just moments ago.

"'Ello, this is Dustin, and this is the secretary and treasurer of Hawkins Middle AV Club. Do you eat kangaroos for breakfast?" I giggle, shaking my head thinking about the poor confused soul who is stuck listening to the boys ramble on. As Lucas grabs for the headphones, I turn around so I'm facing Mr. Clarke, and I give a polite, yet warm smile. "Thank you."

"You're very welcome Mr. Henderson," He returned the smile, seeming appreciative of the fact that at least one of us said 'Thank you'. He has always been a great teacher, and I don't think anybody ever really appreciates or even thanks him very much. I can't imagine how frustrating it can be as a teacher. I laugh to myself at the sight of my friends playfully fighting over who gets to use it next, when our fun gets cut short at the sound of a knock on the door. We all turn our heads to see the Principle walk in, a couple of men behind him.

"Sorry to interrupt, but, uh, may I borrow Y/N, Michael, Lucas, and Dustin?" To say my stomach dropped would be an understatement as I got a better look at the men out in the hallway and realized it was the Chief and one of his officers.

My mouth ran dry.

'Will.'

The four of were seated on the couch in the Principal's office, Chief Hopper, and officer Callahan - I believe his name was - seated in chairs opposite us. I was seated between Mike and Dustin, I kept my mouth shut unless told otherwise, and my hands have woven together in my lap, much too afraid to do otherwise. The boys, on the other hand, were freaking out and all trying to speak at once. I tried nudging them warningly with my elbows but they just ignored me. It seemed I had made the right choice in being quiet, as Hopper seemed to have gotten impatient almost immediately.

"Okay, okay, okay. One at a time all right? You." He points Mike. Mike shakes his head. "You said he takes what?"

"Mirkwood."

"Mirkwood." His face scrunched up in confusion.

"Yes," I croaked involuntarily, wanting to explain to him that it is just our name for road.

"Have you ever heard of Mirkwood?" He turned to the officer.

"I have not. That sounds made up to me." The officer replied. This timid, awkward man gave me the impression he was more of a 'Yes-man' and knew nothing about what he was doing.

"No, it's from Lord of the Rings."

'Oh, here we go.' I think to myself, sighing.

"Well, The Hobbit."

Mike and I look at each other, knowing what's happening.

"It doesn't matter." Lucas retorted.

"Knock it off!" I warn, trying my best to throw my whisper across the couch without drawing attention to myself.

"He asked!" Dustin nearly shouted.

"Guys!" I hissed.

"'He asked'" Lucas mimicking Dustin, not even listening to me.

I looked over at Mike for help but he is already checked out.

They continue talking over each other in a childish manner and the chief leans forward trying to silence them.

"Hey, hey, hey!" They quieted down finally. "What'd I just say? One at a damn time. You." He nodded to me. He seemed to tolerate just Mike and me.

"Mirkwood, as Mike was saying. It is a real road. It's just the name that's made up, it's what we call it. It's where Cornwallis and Kerley meet." I finish.

He seems satisfied, finally having a straightforward answer. He leans back in his chair, talking now to Callahan.

"Yeah, all right, I think I know that—"

"We can show you, if you want." Mike offered hopefully, cutting the chief off mid-sentence.

"I said that I know it!"

"We can help look."

"Yeah" Dustin added hopefully.

"No."

And just like that, the boys begin to talk over each other once again. Knowing better than to waste my breath trying to shut them up, I sit back once again, hands in my lap waiting for the Chief to continue.

"No," He says loud enough to quiet the boys. "After school, you are to all go home. Immediately. That means no biking around looking for your friend, no investigating, no nonsense. This isn't some Lord of the Rings book."

"The Hobbit."

"Shut up!" Lucas gave Dustin a swat on the arm.

Dustin reached over and hit Lucas back, knocking me and Mike back in the process. I roll my eyes in annoyance, and fight every urge I have not to shout at them.

"Hey!"

Mike finally snaps. "Stop it!"

They continue hitting each other and Hopper finally leans over and says quietly, in an irritated tone. "Do I make myself clear?"

I was the only one paying attention so based on his tired, lowered voice and his eyes on me, I could tell he was just talking to me at this point.

I shook my head. "Yes," I mutter.

He nodded his head at me in thanks. All the while, the boys were still bickering. Hopper's gaze landed on the boys, and he stood up and walked forward towards us. The way his tall frame towered over us was overwhelming, and enough to shut the boys up. In a deep, intimidating voice, he repeated his words, slowly.

"Do I make myself... clear?" The boys nod their heads in fear, their necks craning up to meet his eyes.

"Yes, sir."

"Yeah."

"Yes."

⊹ ⊹ ⊹

I've been laying in my bed, staring at the ceiling for about thirty minutes, give or take a few. I had managed to do all of my school work, including my project that wasn't due for another week and a half, read three books — granted, they were fairly short — and I was still left with nothing to do but worry about Will. The fact that I'm not allowed to help is driving me crazy, even though I keep trying to tell myself the adults are better equipped to deal with this stuff. My thoughts are interrupted by the crackling of the walkie-talkie that was sitting on my dresser. Since our mom couldn't afford two walkie-talkies, Dustin and I share one. I usually have it though so I can talk to Will.

The voice coming through sounded like Mike. Rather than getting my hopes up I just decided to stay put, staring at my ceiling, listening in.

"Lucas, do you copy? It's Mike. Lucas? Over."

"Hey, it's Lucas."

"I know it's you. And say 'over' when you're done talking so I know when you're done. Over." I roll my eyes and smile.

"I'm done. Over." I chuckle at this.

"I'm worried about Will. Over." My smile quickly falls.

I can hear Lucas sigh. "Yeah. This is crazy. Over."

"I was thinking..." Now I was really paying attention. "Will could've cast Protection last night, but he didn't. He cast fireball. Over." I sat up slowly, my eyebrows furrowed at the walkie.

"What's your point? Over."

"My point is... he could've played it safe, but he didn't. He put himself in danger to help the party. Over." A bittersweet smile flutters across my face briefly at this.

"Meet me in ten. Over and out."

'To hell with adults.' I tell myself. I leap off my bed and grab the walkie, knowing they'll still be able to hear me.

"Forgetting someone? Over."

"Y/n? Over." It was Mike.

"Don't worry, I'll let Dustin know. Over and out."

I retract the walkie before shoving it into my bag and heading for Dustin's room.

⊹ ⊹ ⊹

Once I had caught Dustin up on everything, the four of us had met up and we are now currently riding down Mirkwood. The thought of my best friend disappearing right here, exactly 24 hours ago was enough to give me chills.

"Ah, man. This is it." Lucas broke the silence as we approached the barrier closing off the path where his bike was supposedly found. We all came to a stop.

For a brief moment, the woods were lit up by lighting in the distance as thunder bellowed across the sky. Dustin looked up at the blanket of clouds above the trees, his voice shaking.

"Hey, guys. You feel that?" He was obviously referring to the rain that fell on his face. I roll my eyes. "I think maybe we should go back."

"No!" Mike and I said simultaneously.

"We're not going back. Just stay close." Mike and Lucas continued on into woods. I was eager to follow them but not without trying to reassure my brother.

"Dustin, he's right. Look, I know you're scared right now, okay? I'm scared too, but can you even imagine how scared Will must be? We have to do this. For Will." I didn't wait for a reply and ran to catch up with Mike and Lucas.

Knowing my brother, he would rather stay in a group than split up. Sure enough, he gave in.

"Hey, guys, wait up!" He said, dropping his bike. "Wait up!"

We started walking again, and as we did it I could feel the rain start to soak my neck and shoulders. I pulled my hood up over my head, turning on my flashlight and set off into the night, eager to find my friend.

⊹ ⊹ ⊹

The thunder rumbled, and as we ventured deeper into the forest I could feel the light drizzle of rain evolving into a steady downpour.

"WILL!"

"WILL!" I cried.

"Byers!" Lucas yelled.

Dustin tried a different approach. "I've got your X-Men 134!"

Our flashlights were hardly making a difference at this point. Dustin spoke up again. "Guys, I really think we should turn back."

"Seriously, Dustin?" Lucas exclaimed. "You wanna be a baby, then go home already!"

"I'm just being realistic Lucas!"

"No, you're just being a big sissy."

"Did you ever think Will went missing because he ran into something bad? And we're going to the exact same spot where he was last seen? And we have no weapons or anything?"

I start to slow down once I heard something in the bushes.

"Dustin, shut up." Mike spoke up.

'Okay, thankfully, Mike must have heard it too.'

"I'm just saying, does that seem smart to you?"

"Dustin!" I snap. "Zip it!"

Now the rustling was loud and clear.

"Did you guys hear that?" Mike asks.

I just shake my head, looking around for the source of the noise. The rustling is louder than ever and we all turn in the direction it came from. All our flashlights pointed in that direction. Then we heard it again. It was right behind us. We whipped around to find a girl, with a buzz cut, wearing nothing but 'Benny's Burgers' tee t-shirt. We all stood there, mouths agape at this girl, shivering and cowering in fear.
