just a little something for the darling @yournowheregirl to wake up to! it sounds kinda dumb and insignificant, but i always appreciate your tags in the fun tag games that come across your dash and for always being one of the first that ask something from those âask meâ posts i reblog! it makes me feel appreciated and i am super grateful every time đ„°đ«¶đ„č
There was meant to be two beds.
Steve specifically got a double king room for the goblins, and another room with two queens for him and Eddie.
So of course as soon as they got into Milwaukee the night before the D&D themed nerd fest, the (actually very nice) woman at the front desk says: âWe had to swap around the rooms, but the two will still sleep all you boys, donât worry!â
Whatever. Thatâs fine, right? Theyâll all have a spot to sleep the next two nights theyâre here for the kidsâ (and Eddieâs) dragon game convention.
He gets back to their rented minivan and passes the key cards to Eddie in the passenger seat.
The van was just the first point of contention between him and the kidsâ beloved Dragon Meister, followed closely byâŠeverything else.
The first thing Eddie said when Steve showed up in the rented van was âKing Steve is coming along on our journey?â, to which Steve could only respond with âThis âsuper coolâ guy you assholes have been going on about this whole time is Eddie âThe Freakâ Munson? Really?â
Following closely behind are: the tapes and tapes of loud garbled âmusicâ Eddie insists on playing, his absolutely tragic way of unwrapping Steveâs burgers for him when they stop for lunch, the wariness Steve has in the first place about this being the guy Dustin wouldnât stop talking so highly aboutâŠthis nerdy, obnoxious, third-time seniorâŠgreat.
â204 is the Hellionsâ room, 207 is us.â
Eddie bends an arm backwards into the feral beast enclosure the second two rows have become over the last six hours and Steveâs surprised he still has his hand when it returns to the front.
Steve gets the van parked in the hotelâs garage, and they head up to their rooms.
âAlright, assholes,â he says to the somehow still rambunctious masses, âThis is you guys, Make sure youâre up by eight so weââ
âYeah Steve, we got it,â Dustin scoffs, âAs if weâd risk being late to this.â
Steve rolls his eyes with a âFine, goodnight.â and shuffles the few steps across the hall to his and Eddieâs door, leaving the troops to file into theirs.
The only thought in his head is of laying down and getting the fuck to sleep. It wasnât even that late butâ
âOh youâve got to be shitting me.â
So thatâs what brings them here. To their one barely queen sized bed.
âI guess Iâm on the floor then, huh?â
âIâm not about to let you sleep on the floor.â
âOh, the King has chivalry does he?â Eddie rolls his eyes and throws his duffle onto the armchair in the corner.
âAs much as you, asshole; I just want you to have the energy to corral the gremlins tomorrow.â Steve scrubs a hand down his face. âLook, weâll just deal with it tonight and Iâll get another room tomorrow.â he lies. As if heâs got the cash for that.
Eddie looks him over, and seems to come to whatever conclusion he needs to because he says âFine, but you better not be a blanket hog.â
Eddieâs the worst blanket hog Steveâs ever had the displeasure of knowing.
He thought Robin was bad, but this is something else.
Eddieâs fully a burrito within an hour of laying down. After a hearty, but silent, game of tug of war over the worn duvet.
Steve falls asleep angry and cold, and wakes up on a cloud.
Heâs so warm and so entangled in the comforter, he canât help but snuggle deeper into the pillow heâs clutched onto.
The pillow hums back at him and scoots itself under his chin with a sigh.
Steve squeezes tighter onto the pillow momentarily, but his curiosity of why his pillowâs making noise gets the better of him.
He cracks his eyes open, looking down at the thing in his arms.
It shifts as well, and Eddie Munson blinks up at him with those (holy shitâŠbeautiful, deep, dark) doe eyes of his.
âHi.â Steve breathes.
Eddieâs eyes flutter shut, and shuffles himself back into Steveâs neck.
Steve chooses to blame the still sleepy bit of him for curving himself back around Eddie.
âHowâd you sleep?â Steve whispers into the now-bared hairline under the other manâs bangs.
âFucking amazingâŠâ Eddie mumbles, snaking an arm over Steveâs waist and settling a hand in the middle of his back. âHow âbout you, Stevie?â
âStevie, huh?â Steve chuckles.
Itâs only then that Eddie seems to come to his senses, his head shooting up before he scrambles away, falling straight onto his back between the opposite side of the bed and the wall with an âOof!â and a âFuck!â
âOh shit!â Steve shuffles off the bed and helps Eddie back up, âYou alright, Eds?â
âYeah..yeah, Iâm fine..â Steve gets Eddie back on his own two feet and (reluctantly) lets him go once heâs stable.
âReluctantly? Why reluctantly? What the hell??â
âSorry I was all over you, not the greatest thing to wake up to, huh?â Eddie says, huffing a sardonic laugh under his breath.
Steve hums nonchalantly, âIt wasnât all bad, I slept pretty fucking amazing too.â
Eddie hums an acknowledgment, then: âI wouldnâtââ Eddie starts at the same time Steve says âI shouldââ
âYou go ahead,â
Eddieâs hands come up between them, spinning the rings on his fingers nervously. âI was going to say thatâŠI.. Iwouldnâtmindifyoustayedtonight..too.â
Steve blinks. âGood thing I was going to say that I really should save my money.â
Eddieâs smile is slightly nervous, but thereâs a hopeful tinge to it that Steve can only assume means what he thinks it does (hopes it does).
âLeaves me with more to spend on the Gremlins, right?â he shrugs.
Eddie beams. âGlad to know weâre on the same page, Harrington.â
also, if you havenât heard it recently: Alice, YOUâRE DOING AMAZING SWEETIE đ€©
#and there was only one bed#oh nooo what ever shall they doooo#be pleasantly surprised by the company of the other in that bed đ#thatâs what#also ps i looked it up so itâs accurate#gencon is the dnd convention and between 1985 and 2003 it was held in milwaukee#about 4 hours from indianapolis#so +2 hours for hypothetical additional time from hawkins#in my head this is a trip just before school starts in 1985 since gen con was aug 22-25 that year#dw about the logistics of the partyâs parents letting them go lmao#maybe the party meet eddie at a the local game store and somehow convince steve and their parents to let them go before the year starts#steddie#steve harrington#eddie munson#stranger things#st#st ficlet#steddie ficlet#noelle writes

Thing is, being Jewish and growing up knowing what your people went through really does prepare you for being a queer adult. Balancing what you reveal vs what you hide in order to "pass" in a society that's hostile to you.
So my question now is how much do I give in to the fear of being targeted? Do I grow my hair out and stop wearing a magen David? Or do I say fuck you, you can't make me hide? When does my comfort and freedom of expression become a risk to my own safety? I'm really fighting with myself on this one. Because I don't want to endanger myself, but I also don't want to let those people WIN.
#i feel like I'm relatively safe here in milwaukee#but I'm solo road tripping to nebraska in two months#and if i ever want to see my dad again I'm going to have to go to florida#so what's the right call here#I HAVE NO IDEA#i feel like this is a decision a lot of us are going to have to make in the next few years

đ checked out a book of "day trips around chicago" and half of them are like 4 hours away and there's whole sections in the book on hotels.... that's simply not what a day trip is
#if im spending 6+ hours getting there and back it cannot be done in one day and thus does not qualify as a day trip#get fuckin sheboygan and fon du lac out of here they're literally not day trips#i'll allow milwaukee but ur pushing it imo#bri babbles

imagine being fields goodman. your husband gets severed and starts working for lumon and whatever your feelings on the matter are the money is good and your husband seems happy so you let it slide. then one day out of the blue your husband gets canned because (lumon's words) his innie had an unsanctioned erotic entanglement with another worker and they don't tell him who. you suggest a trip to milwaukee (the original brew city) to take his mind off things. while you're both busy packing you're suddenly distracted by someone pounding on your front door and screaming your husband's name. when your husband goes to answer the door the man on the other side has no idea who your husband is or how he (the man) got there. the only possible explanation you can think of is that this must be who your husband's innie was having an affair with and so you cancel your trip to milwaukee so your husband can spend his nights in a car with roll-down windows to stake out the man's house and watch him make clandestine phone calls from the only phone booth in kier. and then you have to have dinner with your husband and the man whose innie your husband's innie was erotically entangled with. has everyone tried the ham. you think the ham is lovely

Pee-Weeâs Playhouse and Pee-Weeâs Big Adventure were such formative pieces of media for me when I was a kid. This is a really good piece about Big Adventure.
#links#articles#pee wee herman#paul reubens#film#pee weeâs big adventure#the last time i saw this film was 2009#there was a park in milwaukee that did free outdoor film screenings every week in the summer (weather permitting)#and once in the summer of â09 they screened this film#my friend and i took âshrooms and rode our bikes (appropriate) to the screening#and we watched it while tripping balls#which was awesome#and then on the bike ride back to her place#still tripping#i came up with a theory that the reason i am the way i am#is because so many of my favorite films from childhood are essentially road movies#like this one for example#drugs mention in tags
