Some Cousin Harringham headcanons

Steve and Chrissy are cousins, Their mom's are siblings. They were close growing up but by the time Steve got into middle school and started becoming 'King Steve' they began drifting away from each other. By the events of season 4 they didn't really talk outside of school and the very rare family gatherings. Noone even really knew they were cousins.

So like when season 4 happened, after dustin and max told steve what they thought happened he went to see Chrissy in the hospital (i refuse to believe she's dead) and she like, insists that Eddie didn't hurt her. He's still kinda skeptical, but now that his kids and his cousin are insisting that this guys not evil he's kinda got to start believing it a little bit.

Steve really wanted to be a cheerleader as a kid. Like really wanted to be a cheerleader. Whenever he and Chrissy would hang out he'd always make her practice cheer with him. When he went into middle school he realized that he wasn't able to be a cheerleader because he was a boy so he went and played basketball instead. Chrissy liked cheerleading too but she didn't love it like Steve did. She only really went into it because he wasn't able to. 

They used to have 'girl nights' together, because Chrissy always wanted a sister and he liked having other people in his house,so they'd do their nails together and gossip until Steve became popular and stopped hanging out with her so much.

After season 4 Steve and Chrissy start getting close again and he cooks for her every weekend.

Buckingham happens and Chrissy come out to Steve and its just like:

Chrissy: Steve, im a lesbian.

Steve: oh cool

Chrissy: also i have a crush on your best friend

He then goes on for a good 10 minutes about how Robin is HIS and she cannot steal her from him and then like immediately after starts planning how to get them together. 

Then because he's an idiot he starts planning stuff to like get them alone and he tells Robin like "oh you and Chrissy should go to the movies" and Robs like "oh! girls night?! ill invite Nancy and Vickie-" and it just never works out but eventually Robin just asks Chrissy out and they both just say Steve was the mastermind behind it because they dont want him to feel bad about his attempts. 

Also, Callahan is their uncle, on their moms' side. And at the occasional family gathering he always watches over them to make sure noones giving them a hard time. (I like big-brother Callahan too but weird uncle is more fun.) Callahan has almost gotten into a fight with their like 11 year old cousin cause he overheard found out that Steve was bi and tried to tell his dad.
