The Eddie Wakes Up Alone After A Night Together With Steve trope but when Eddie drives up to Family Video to raise hell (he tries the Harrington McMansion first but his monologue is quickly and awkwardly cut short by no one being home) Steve, confused as hell, says:

"Dude, I told you I was leaving for work. You told me, and I quote, 'go get them, tiger' before slapping my ass."

Hm.

Well.

That does sound like him.

Turns out you can have an entire conversatiom with one Eddie Munson early in the morning but there is a negative one percent chance of him actually remembering it before he falls back asleep.

Boyfriend!Eddie x perfectionist!workaholic!overachiever!reader.

Like you're always stressed, having headaches three times a week and sleeping five hours a night. When you're not doing schoolwork you feel guilty, and when you get straight A's you barely let yourself enjoy before putting your head into the next thing that has to get done.

And then Eddie happens.

All your friends and family think he's such a bad influence. Since you met him, your grades have dropped. They are not bad now, but they were perfect before. And how come you're going out on school days? Also, you're getting up later than usual. He's making you either lazy (like him) or he's making you so tired that you can't focus in what's important.

Meanwhile, you have never been so happy. Eddie celebrates any class/test/project that you pass, even if it is with a B-. He invites you over to watch movies and eat cheap pasta box. He always smiles and tells you how proud he is of you, even when you didn't do anything big. When you stay over, you two sleep in late and cuddle in Eddie's warm bed.

So, maybe your academic life is getting worse. Who cares?

Not you. You're too busy having a better life.

Steve has a food allergy and Eddie doesn't know and accidentally feeds Steve what he's allergic to

He felt like it was stupid.

Who actually had a peanut allergy?

Apparently Steve did, and it was stupid.

No one except Robin knew, and he planned to keep it that way.

He always checks labels and made sure to ask if anything had peanuts in it, using the excuse that he just didn’t like them.

It worked 99% of the time.

He hadn’t factored in his boyfriend baking for him for their anniversary.

To Steve’s credit, he’d just been fucked within an inch of his life for the last hour and could barely remember his own name, let alone that he needed to check on the peanut situation.

Even more ridiculous, Eddie was feeding him bite after bite, kissing his forehead or nose after every one.

It took a few bites before it hit, but he sobered up quickly when he could feel the heaviness in his throat, the air becoming more difficult to take in.

Eddie saw his panic immediately and set the brownie down.

“Shit. What’s wrong, sweetheart?” Eddie placed his hands on Steve’s cheeks, trying to keep him grounded, probably thinking it was a random panic attack.

“Can’t breathe. Allergic,” Steve gasped out.

He had an epi-pen in a cabinet by the fridge, so he used all the energy he had left to get up and open the cabinet door.

Eddie grabbed it, understanding exactly what was happening when he saw the device.

“Shit, Stevie. Alright, gonna pinch,” Eddie said, as if he knew what it was like.

He injected the medicine in his still naked thigh, and Steve slowly felt breathing get easier, his tongue no longer as swelled.

“So you’re allergic to peanuts? Peanut butter?”

Steve nodded.

“Anything else before I accidentally murder my future husband?”

Steve giggled and shook his head, looking down at the ring Eddie had placed on his ring finger earlier that night.

“The brownies were delicious. Sorry I can’t eat them,” Steve smiled sadly.

“It’s okay. Wayne’ll be disappointed you can’t eat his homemade peanut butter brownies, but I’m fine with just eating you for dessert.”

Steve rolled his eyes.

“I’m allergic to shellfish,” he continued. “Found out the hard way.”

“So you know I probably should go to the hospital to make sure everything’s fine? That’s just an emergency dose.”

“Yeah, let’s get you dressed and make sure you aren’t gonna die from my love for you.”

“You’re so dramatic, oh my god.”

Eddie just winked at him before picking him up and carrying him to the bedroom to get dressed.

I was hallucinating a few hours ago due to lack of sleep bUT-

Thinking about Steve who's confident in his bisexuality, told the kids that he likes both and that's okay because he knows they need, trying to flirt with Eddie who is in denial bc it has to be a joke, right? Harrington, the straightest man alive? Steve lady's man Harrington? Nah, it's only on his mind. Meanwhile Steve is getting more and more sad thinking he's being rejected.

Now, think about the Hellfire members knowing that Eddie's a crush on Steve because he talks about it CONSTANTLY and be sad because "he doesn't have a fat chance in hell". They're also very protective of him so if anyone new in the club is being homophobic, they just throw them out.

So one day Steve is in the Hellfire to wait for the kids and flirt a little, telling himself that "this is the last time, you'll get a GRIP and MOVE THE FUCK ON!" is what he tells to himself. He tries a little and drops after a while, so in the break time the old members tell him that he needs to leave, because they won't allow anyone doing that to Eddie, as in: they think Steve knows that Eddie's gay and likes him so he's flirting with him in a mocking way.

So he leaves.

And when everyone (Eddie + the kids) is asking where is Steve, they say that he was being homophobic, an automat answer and they quickly try to cover up because they don't want to do that to Eddie, but Dustin immediately response was:

"how can Steve be homophobic if he's bi?"

And the world freaking EXPLOSES!

not the steddie hallucinations LMAO

Thank you for sending me this ask because I'm president of "Steve is a confident disaster Bisexual" and I'm making t-shirts for club members as we speak.

Anyways, I think Steve would be extremely confident in his sexuality to the point where he just likes whoever and goes for it (with the right precautions of course). When Eddie comes out to him and the rest of their group, Steve doesn't even think about coming out to him as well because he's been out to the group for so long he just assumes that everyone close to him knows.

So when he realizes he likes Eddie and flirts with him, he doesn't know what to take from his reactions: he doesn't look annoyed or uninterested (think about the girls he would flirt with at Scoops) but he doesn't respond either, which is weird for someone like Eddie, who engages flirty banters even with plants.

Let's add to the mix that Steve's love life has been a mess recently, how many times can you be rejected before you think there's something wrong with you?

That's why he decides to go all in one last time and then leave Eddie alone, but even the worst scenarios in his head did not prepare him for Eddie's friends telling him off on his behalf.

Steve's head is a mess but most of it all, he's ashamed. He thinks he must've been so annoying and oblivious to Eddie's disinterest that the guy had to ask his friends to put Steve in his place for him.

So he finds himself in the school's parking lot, sitting on the hood of his car and mentally counting how much money he and Robin will need to move to another country (because not even the most embarrassing moment of his life will make him go anywhere without her), completely unaware of the chaos inside the Hellfire room.

Eddie isn't in a better mental state than Steve, so he's letting the kids and the band do the talk for him.

"What do you mean he's bisexual? of course he isn't, he's Steve Harrington!" Gareth exclaims, voicing out one of Eddie's many thoughts.

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean? do you need a special license for that?" Mike huffs, crossing his arms.

Jeff steps in to defend his friend "Of course not! But he's king Steve! And he's constantly picking on Eddie, you heard him!"

"Picking on him? Even a child could see that he has been throwing hints at Eddie for weeks now! What are you, five?"

Erica's words put an end to the discussion, silence falls down abruptly.

Eddie jumps up off his throne and follows wherever Steve had disappeared before, distantly hearing his friends muttered apologies.

He sighs in relief when he sees Steve hasn't left yet.

The car is parked the opposite way of the entrance, so Eddie can only see Steve's back, but he can tell he's gesturing and, when he's close enough, he can hear him talk.

"You can never take a hint, can you? This is so stupid, how can you go around saying you got game when you can't even tell if someone's interested in you? Harrington charm my ass" Steve's hands are all up in the air and Eddie realizes he's gesturing similar to how Eddie does on a daily basis.

It's cute.

"Please leave the Harrington charm out of this" Eddie interjects, making Steve jump in surprise.

He looks like a deer caught by car lights, but he hides it quickly behind a smirk that Eddie refers to - at least in his head - as bitchy Steve "so, no more sending your gang after me? are you worried they didn't do a good job? or am I forbidden to stay even in the parking lot? I'll let you know that I-"

Eddie loves mean girl Steve, but he has no time for him now, so he interrupts "Go on a date with me."

Steve's raised eyebrow and incredulous look tell him that he doesn't take him seriously in the slightest.

"I said, go on a date with me" he repeats.

"I heard you the first time" Steve's voice is close to a whisper "I just think you must've hit your head on your way here."

"You're the one always taking hits on the head, not me" Eddie takes a step closer to him.

Steve steps back "well, there's a first time for everyone" he says, looking away.

Eddie moves close again, his face only a few inches from Steve's "I don't hear an answer."

Steve's eyes flicker on Eddie's lips for half a second, "I didn't hear a question" he bites back.

Eddie smirks and, under Steve's shocked look, jumps on his car.

"Eddie, what the fuck? get down of my car!" he's trying to maintain a firm tone but Eddie can tell he's amused by his antics. Eddie couldn't ask for anything better.

He looks around the parking lot to make sure they're alone, then loudly enounces "Steve Fucking Harrington-"

"Don't say it like it's my middle name!"

Eddie ignores him "- king of the school grounds, best Scoops Ahoy model-"

"what does that even mean-"

"Worst employee that family video has ever had, Faberge Organics favorite costumer-"

"I told you that in confidence."

"Would you do this humble commoner kneeling at your presence" he kneels down theatrically as he says so "the honor of accompanying him for an evening of frivolous romantic shit that society expects you to do when you find a respectable partner?"

“If I say yes will you get down?”

Eddie moves his weight from one foot to the other, making the car under him bounce “I might consider it.”

Steve lifts his arms, apprehensively “Okay, yes fine! Now please get down-”

Eddie jumps down, right into Steve’s arms.

———

All the hellfire club members decide to stop spying on them and get back inside when Eddie’s highly entertaining antics turn into a gross make out session.

“So” Dustin elbows Gareth’s side “does that look homophobic to you?”

“I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.” ,,,, “Ditto, steve.”📖

I know a lot of us like to headcanon Steve as a horror movie wuss and as much as I enjoy it just hear me out— horror doesn’t faze him in the slightest.

It annoys the party to no end, to the point they just make it a bet to see who can get a reaction out of Steve, movie nights are just horror nights at this point.

One day Eddie shows up with a Japanese horror movie which he proclaims is going to make Steve shit his pants for real. Steve, completely aware of the direction this is going to take the night, says no at first but caves at Eddie’s goading.

Imagine the absolute affront of the party when Steve is just munching on his popcorn with nothing but a tiny scrunch to his eyebrows while the rest of them are screaming and hiding being the throw pillows at every jump scare. Eddie is shaking, sandwiched between Dustin and Mike clutching onto him for their dear lives and Robin actively trying to dig herself into the sofa to escape the creature in the tv and Steve— Steve is fucking nodding off to the slow, unsettling background scores and screams that absolute fucking psychopath.

In the end all they manage to do is scare themselves shitless to drive themselves home in the dark— it ends with a mass sleepover in Steve’s living room.

Horror gets banned from movie night for the foreseeable future after he gets woken up four times that night to walk someone to the bathroom.

Steve is a chronic asmr listener and I stand by this!!

He would listen to asmr every once in a while when he was left alone. The house he lived in during high school was perpetually empty and falling asleep to silence is difficult.

He would start out with people tapping on stuff and getting a scalp massage, but then he would evolve into his final form and listen to those self care role plays. Steve would be falling asleep to his metaphorical makeup being done or having an outfit picked out for the ren faire.

What started as listening to asmr only on the bad nights became a daily ritual. Every night at ten pm, Steve would slide into bed, pull up his favorite asmr-tist, and begin to unwind.

When he starts dating Eddie, Steve doesn’t need to listen to asmr because Eddie usually reads out loud from where he left off in his current reread of LOTR.

But, it’s when Steve has a tough day that he turns to Eddie and says, “I know this is weird but can I put on some asmr? It helps me relax and I tend to sleep through the night when I listen to it.”

Eddie is over the moon and is totally ready to try it out, which makes Steve super happy because he was so scared he was going to have to hide his love for asmr like an addiction.

Fast forward a few months and Steve and Eddie have a YouTube playlist compiled of all of their favorite asmr videos that they rotate through. It is also constantly being updated because they are subscribed to ten different channels that update pretty frequently.

Robin finds them in bed, lying on their backs, holding each other’s hands, and breathing deeply to the sound of a calming voice and brushing of hair.

Will and Mike were never the type of kids to wrestle with each other. They were the type to read comics in the same armchair then fall asleep on each other
