Steve: *on the phone with Robin* So, Eddie's lips accidentally ran into mine. . .

Robin: What a way to tell me that you finally kissed Eddie.

Steve: Because that's exactly how it happened! He came into Family Video - it was empty, thank God - and he got excited about some news he had, barreled into me, and his lips literally ran into mine!

Robin: Are you sure he didn't -

Steve: No, it was definitely an accident because he shrieked and then ran away.

Robin: Goddamnit, the one time I'm sick, something good happens. What are you going to do?

Steve: Well, I'm looking out the window . . . he's outside my house with flowers in his hand, and he's trying to talk himself up into knocking on the door. Aw, he got me a teddy bear . . . let's see if he knocks.

Robin: I bet he chickens out.

Steve: Robin!

There was a loud pounding on the door.

Steve: HA!

Eddie: *shrieks* JESUS H CHRIST! I CAN'T!

Steve: Goddamnit, he's running way!

Robin: HA! Good luck with that one!

Steve: I'm going to fucking need it.

I love where Steve is the clueless one, but I love it and believe it even more that Steve got dick before Eddie did, and with the hanky thing. . .there's no way he's cruising 24/7, but I do love those headcanons. It's just not mine. He did it as a metalhead thing, and I firmly believe that he got hit on quite a few times, leaving him quite confused. . .Plus, Steve was in so many sports: baseball, swim team, basketball. . .so homoerotical charged. . .he definitely hooked up with some of his teammates even if he didn't know he was bisexual. I also like to headcanon that he didn't really know he liked women until Nancy Wheeler. Maybe he thought he was trying to like women because he thought that's what he was supposed to do. Like, don't get me wrong, I like the idea of Eddie or Jonathan being his bisexual awakening, but there's something about Nancy Wheeler being his bisexual awakening that is soooo good. I've probably already said this before but fuck it, I'm going to say it again because now, that I'm thinking about it, that's probably why he's so awkward with women after Nancy. He had no problem flirting with them when he thought he was gay because it was harmless, and it didn't lead to anywhere. He knew that, and most of the women knew that. . .

Writing prompt: Steve and Robin tricking Eddie into thinking they're so close they can read each other's minds only to find out they've been picking up on each other's thoughts. It's been happening since Starcourt, but they both thought it was just random thoughts they had. Robin nearly had a sexuality crisis because she kept thinking about Eddie's lips and his doe eyes, lol. 😆

If Eddie does get turned into a vampire solely for the purpose of being Vecna's puppet, I know Vecna is going to regret it because I can see the first thing Eddie doing is making nose jokes and the fact that he doesn't have one. Grabbing the space where his nose used to be and saying, "GOT YOUR NOSE!" is one of them. It's going to make Vecna regret every choice he's ever made.

I hope there's an awkward scene in season 5 where Steve, who's now dating Nancy and Jonathan, runs into Tommy and Carol, who Steve used to fool around with. Nancy and Jonathan are glaring at Tommy and Carol, who are glaring right back. Meanwhile, Robin:

"Ooh, the Mrs. and the ex. . .you hate to see it happen. Except for me, I am LOVING this."

[dwobbitfromtheshire]

Read the first issue of Rise of Hellfire. The only thing that they got wrong was the year Eddie was a freshman in high school. It can't be 1978. It has to be 1980 to 1981, so yeah, they got that wrong. If Eddie's a third time senior. Unless I miscalculated, which I don't think that I did. Other than that error, it was good, and I'm glad they put Ronnie in. . .I just hope this means she makes an appearance in season five.

The party, of course, immediately accepted Will and Robin when they came out. Dustin couldn't help but ask the question because he's a nosy little shit.

Dustin: *looking at Robin* If you had to pick a man, though, who would you go for?

Robin: Steve. No contest. Only in a parallel universe, though. And parallel me still has to like women. There's no universe where I'm straight. Not that I have anything against heterosexuality.

Steve: Eddie. *everyone stares at him* Oh, was that question not directed at both of us?

Eddie: It's okay, big boy. If I were gay, I'd go for you, too.

Argyle: *whispering* Oh, man, Steve and Eddie don't know about bisexuality.

Steve: You whispered that to me.

Argyle: Oh, sorry. *turns to Jonathan* Oh, man, Steve and Eddie don't know that bisexuality exists.

[dwobbitfromtheshire]

Steve gets a phone call from Eddie one afternoon. . .

Eddie: So, what are you wearing, big boy?

Steve unfortunately thought Eddie was messing with him, so he decided to mess with him back. Steve rolled his eyes.

Steve: *scoffs* Your vest and nothing else, of course.

There was a long silence and then. . .THUD.

Steve: Eddie?

There was a sound of someone else's feet, and then he heard Wayne's voice in the distance.

Wayne: You damn near broke your new Garfield phone. What are you doing on the floor, and why is your nose bleeding?

Another pause, and Steve heard Eddie speak.

Eddie: Steve. . .vest. . .nothing.

Oops, he accidentally broke Eddie. Steve smirked.

Eddie and Steve were sitting and chatting at Joyce and Hopper's wedding reception when a drunk man came over to them.

Drunk: That young man over there *pointing to Dustin* is a wonderful young man.

Eddie: *whispers to Steve* Are we going to have to fight this guy?

Steve: *smiling awkwardly* Thanks, we like him.

Drunk: My god, you must have been teenagers when you had him.

They watched him stumble away.

Eddie: I wonder what planet that guy thinks he's on.

Steve: If I had to guess, Robin told all the drunks I'm Dustin's mother.

[dwobbitfromtheshire]

Mike: *disbelief* You slept with our dungeon master?

It wasn't the fact that they were two dudes that bothered Mike, but the fact that it was Steve Harrington who slept with their dungeon master.

Steve: Keep up that tone, asshole, and I'll get your precious dungeon master pregnant just to piss you off.

Eddie: *leaning towards Mike* There's 50 bucks in it for you if you make your tone worse.

Mike: You can't get -

Eddie: There's another dimension under Hawkins. It's baffling the things that you can't believe in, but you can believe in that. You need to be a little open-minded, Wheeler.

Mike: 🤨

Dustin: I call dibs on godfather! Ha!

Mike: Bullshit! You can't call dibs!

Steve: *watching them argue* This could have gone worse.

Eddie: *grinning* Still could.

[dwobbitfromtheshire]

Eddie: Hey, Robin, you know that fae folklore where some fairies have to count salt when it's spilled in front of them?

Robin: Yeesss, where are you going with this, buddy?

Eddie: Well, if Steve trips in front of a fairy, do you think it would have to count his moles?

Robin: I don't know, depends on if his moles taste like salt or not:

Steve: *walking back into the living room* Okay, got the popcorn! I might have - EDDIE!

Eddie had gotten up, grabbed Steve’s face, and licked the moles on his cheek.

Eddie: *gasps* Robin! It tastes like salt. . .AND butter!

Steve: *blushing* Yeah, that's because I ate a couple of pieces. Jesus.

Eddie: *thinking about counting Steve’s moles* I wish I was a fairy.

Steve: Dude! We do NOT like to be called that!

Eddie gaped at him the rest of the night, trying to figure out if he was a mythical creature or not when actually Steve has yet to tell Eddie he's bisexual.

[dwobbitfromtheshire]

Robin might platonically marry Steve, though it's not the only reason, just so she can say dramatically in an argument:

"That's it! I'm divorcing you, and I'm taking everything!"

It's usually only said when they're playing monopoly. Steve would respond with:

"Fine! But I'm keeping your last name and the kids!"

"I never wanted them in the first place!" Robin shrieked.

"What a rude thing for our dad to say," Dustin said.

They were eating popcorn and watching the whole thing unfold before them.

"Well, it's not like we don't all have daddy issues," Max said. "Except for Lucas."

"What am I looking forward to with that? Any advice?" Lucas said.

"Don't date older men," Max said. "Especially ones who are old enough to actually be your father."

"You mean the same age as Robin?" Lucas asked.

"Yeah," Max said.

"Damn, there was this cute college guy - "

"Cheating whore!" Robin shrieked.

"And here it comes," Max grinned.

She hollered and flipped the table.

"Yeah, that's right, I cheated. Dustin isn't yours!" Steve yelled.

"I knew it!" Robin gasped.

"Okay, so when Dustin said that things get intense with Steve and Robin during Monopoly. . ." Nancy said, trailing off.

"Yeah, he wasn't kidding," Jonathan said.

Eddie was gaping with Jonathan, Nancy, Vickie, Chrissy, and Argyle while the kids watched from the sidelines.

"Who else isn't mine?! I bet it's both Mike and Dustin. They both could be Eddie's! Look at them!" Robin yelled.

"Babe, I swear, I didn't touch Steve," Eddie said to Chrissy.

"Okay, first off, Dustin and Mike are not actually Steve’s sons, and two, this is just a game," Chrissy said. "Also, Steve can't get pregnant."

"Oh no! Did the doctor say why?" Eddie asked with a gasp.

"Eddie? Did you smoke with Jonathan and Argyle without me?" Chrissy asked.

"Totally," Argyle said.

"The wedding rings were a nice touch," Nancy said.

"Oh, no, they actually got married. I was the witness!" Vickie exclaimed happily. "I got to kiss the bride!"

"What?!"

"We were at Steve's house when Steve's parents came home and immediately started ragging on Steve about what a disappointment he was, that they were his only family. . .blah, blah, blah. Anyway, Robin was like "not anymore" before dragging him out of the house. We went to a wedding chapel, and I watched as my girlfriend married her platonic soulmate," Vickie said. "It was a beautiful ceremony. Didn't you notice that Steve took her last name?"

"I thought he kept calling for Robin whenever someone said Harrington," Jonathan realized. "He was correcting them."

"Buckley!" Argyle laughed.

"Yeah!" Steve and Robin yelled, looking at them.

"Holy shit," Dustin muttered.

"Well, hey, we're no longer bastards," Max said. "Except Mike. There's no fixing that."

"Hey!"

Gareth: You really think we're going to like Steve Harrington just because he's your boyfriend?

Eddie: Nope!

Steve: *brings homemade devil shaped cupcakes for Hellfire like he's trying to be scout mom* Hi! 😊

Gareth: Goddamnit.

Eddie: That's why you're going to like Steve.

Jeff: It's like someone used magic to turn a golden retriever into a human.

[dwobbitfromtheshire]

Eddie was at Steve’s house to swim. He had just taken off shirt when Steve caught a glimpse of his back.

Steve: *sarcastically* Wow, who's the woman who gave you those?

Eddie froze, not wanting to admit that he tried to rescue another raccoon.

Eddie: *smirking* Just some girl I met at the Hideout last night. She's sooo wild!

Steve: *scowled* You're fucking cheating on me, already?!

Eddie: *squeaking* We're dating?!

Steve: Eddie, you asked me a week ago if I wanted to be more than friends with you!

Eddie: I meant best friends!

Steve pressed his hands to his face.

Steve: I can't tell who's the idiot. . .you or me!

Eddie: This is not on you, Stevie, I should have known when you kissed me!

Steve: *putting his hands on his hips* Yeah, no, that should have been your biggest clue. . .especially when you put your tongue in my mouth.

Eddie: This is definitely on me.

Steve: *rolling his eyes* So, who is this wild girl who treated your back like a scratching post?

Eddie: *throwing his hands in the air* It's a raccoon, okay?! It was a fucking raccoon I tried to rescue at the Hideout last night!

Steve laughed.

Steve: You're an idiot, Eddie Munson.

Set after s2. . .in the cafeteria:

Asshole jock: Hey, Harrington, you might want to get your moles checked. . .I think you might be turning into a witch! *laughs*

Steve: And if you're not careful, your dick will get smaller if you take any more steriods. . . Oop, too late. . .and really witch jokes? That's the best you can come up with? You know, if you're going to try and insult me, at least come up with something creative. . .well?. . . I'm waiting. . .

Jock:

Steve: Yeah, that's what I thought. . .You know what witches have that you don't? . . . Fucking magic. . . I can't believe you thought that was an insult.

Eddie: *who witnessed the entire thing* Fuck me.

[dwobbitfromtheshire]

Steve was doing a grocery run at Bradley's Big Buy when the speakers crackled above him.

Intercom: Would Steve Harrington please come to the front? We have something that belongs to you.

Steve sighed. He already knew. When he got up front, he found Eddie and Dustin sitting on a bench with balloons tied around their wrists.

Steve: I didn't even bring you with me!

They grinned, looking happy to see him. Steve couldn't even be mad.
