Drunk Words—Sober Thoughts

Written for @steddiemicrofic BONUS ROUND. Using @wynnyfryd unhinged prompts from her and her weirdo friends. (It’s me and @messessentialist we are the weirdo friends.) Rated T for alcohol use | Word Count 555 | CW: drinking and ANGST apparently. | Prompt “You’re pretty.” “Huh?” “I said you’re pretty! Im hitting on you.”

Disclaimer: this is NOT how the actual conversation went down 😂

——

Eddie’s not sure why he agreed to come out in the first place. There are so many people in that damn bar and he loves Robin. He’s glad it’s her birthday, of course he is, but there’s people in there, socializing and Eddie quite frankly prefers sitting in their apartment with Robin and Steve and—

Steve. That’s why he’s fucking out with them and all of Robins friends. For stupid Steve Harrington and he pretty hair and his perfect lips and—

“Eds!” Eddies head snaps to the right, following the call. There he is, turning around the corner, with a wide smile on his face. Steve in all his red cheeked, beer drunk glory.

“Hey Stevie.” Eddie calls.

Steve makes his way up to him. Goofy (cute) smile splayed across his features, “What are you doing out here?”

Eddie takes in another puff of his cigarette and blows the smoke upward, away from Steve’s pretty face. He shakes the cigarette and Steve laughs.

“Ah—got it. Dumb question.” Steve replies, red blush crossing his features.

Eddie tuts, “No dumb questions, baby.” Baby? He’s only had two beers. He’s not near drunk enough to shake that one off. He clears his throat. “I’m people watching. As much as I love Rob, sometimes I just need to—be alone. Take some time to breathe, y’know?”

Steve blinks up at him through those ridiculously long lashes. His cheeks are still red with blush and it’s really doing something for Eddie.

“No, I get it. I was out here just trying to call Tommy—he wanted me to keep him updated and he’s not even answering his stupid phone.” Steve grumbles and Eddie tries, he really tries, not to roll his eyes.

“I’m sure Tommy’s fine, Stevie.” Eddie responds and Steve shakes himself out of whatever pitying moments he had found himself in briefly.

“I’m just gonna try one more time.” Steve smiles and Eddie can’t help but smile back at the man. Even when the smiles aren’t real, anything Steve does is contagious.

Eddie watches as Steve walks back down the sidewalk. “If Tommy won’t call you, I will.” Eddie mutters under his breath. Steve didn’t hear him, he had walked too far away.

It would probably be best if Eddie went back inside. He’d been out here far too long, but he hadn’t seen Steve come back yet. Even though he was trying to call his stupid on again/off again poor excuse for a boyfriend—

“You’re pretty.”

Eddie snapped out of his thoughts seeing Steve on his other side. How had even gotten there?

“Huh?” Eddie asked, that was—

Steve slapped at Eddie’s shoulder, laughing. “C’mon Eds! I said you’re pretty! I’m hitting on you.”

Eddie choked out a laugh. Steves words came out slurred. They weren’t real. He didn’t mean it. He never would.

“Sure, Stevie—did Tommy finally answer?”

Steve looked up at him again. Stupid pretty, glossed over hazel eyes, big and gorgeous as always. “Oh no. It’s fine. I’d rather be with Rob and you anyway.”

Eddie swallowed, trying not to say something fucking stupid. “Why don’t we go back inside and get you some water yeah?” He threw his arm around Steve’s shoulder to keep him steady. This was the closest to Steve Eddie would probably ever get and he had to be okay with that.

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.

Honestly the cliche advice is true. If you fill your life w things you’re passionate about, if you challenge yourself every day, if you give your own opinion of yourself more weight than you do other people’s opinions of you, you will actually thrive. Like no one can tell u anything

As somebody who has written Batfamily fanfiction (mostly for myself but I have like two things public), Bruce Wayne's relationship with his kids will always be the hardest part.

Yeah, I could fanon it. But I do try my hardest to be at least vaguely canon-compliant in terms of characterizations/relationships.

BUT the history of Bruce Wayne as a father changes depending on the author you read, which Robin is Robin-ing at the time, and what trauma Bruce happens to be going through. Is he going to be deeply supportive of his kids and attend their events and be both awkward and proud? Is he going to hit his kids? Who knows, certainly not DC writers.

(I'm of the opinion that Bruce Lost-His-Parents-At-A-Young-Age & Adopted-Kids-Like-Him-To-Build-A-Family-He-Didn't-Have-As-A-Child Wayne ABSOLUTELY should be a Good Parent[TM], albeit a bit Overprotective Dad. But there are only a handful of authors who follow this depiction)

Congratulations My Hero Academia for providing, possibly, the biggest and longest legit straightbaiting yet in shonen history.

Bonus points that their final chapter was released on yaoi day.

Hilson should have had ONE. (1) honest to god fistfight. Not talking about no pansy ass scuffle either i need a FIGHT. Im talking bloodied noses nd bruised cheeks. I need them to exchange words that will alter the course of their relationship forever. MOST OF ALL. They need to make out nastystyle afterwards

I need Hancock to join Cross Guild so bad

I'm in the middle of reading the Devil's Minion chapter and tbh why were the blenders and microwaves what people focused on when trying to sell how bizarre Armand is. Blending stuff based on colour alone and microwaving rats were the most normal vampire things about him that I've read so far 😭.

I'm more surprised that the guy has a literal gaming room. A whole room for his videogames. He also recorded a timelapse of himself sleeping, and watches it back for fun. He was obsessed with taking long haul flights, sometimes returning back to the same location on the same night. Bro just had a hyperfixation on planes, he did not care where he was going. He also hyperfixated on astrology and had massive telescopes installed onto buildings he only lived in for days at a time before moving on. He gets so impatient to go out with Daniel that he throws his boyfriend in the shower and washes and shaves him himself if Daniel is feeling sleepy. He's actually insane

Kirby likes to be carried

[inkskinned]

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.

except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?

at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.

except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.

about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.

he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.
