#steve and eddie are both obsessed saps

[nburkhardt]

Dedicated to @i-less-than-three-you and @strangersteddierthings this was completely necessary.

"Stop that"

Steve frowns and looks around before looking back at Eddie, confusion clear on his face. "what?"

Eddie shakes his head, hiding his smile. There's a growing blush to his cheeks, it's a lovely shade of pink. Steve loves it, despite being confused.

"I said, stop that." He says again as if that clears it up, he drops down to sit next to him, "that, right there."

Eddie pokes his cheek as he says it, and it brings out a startled laugh from Steve, "I'm just sitting here, Eds"

He shakes his head and places both hands on Steve's face, "Don't look at me with stars in your eyes, honey love, it's doing something to me and we're in public"

Steve laughs, shaking his head and pulling Eddie's hands away from his face. Pressing a kiss to both of them before dropping them completely, "Can't help it, baby love. You're incredible and I can't stop"

There's a bright red blush on Eddie's face now, his eyes soft and his smile is something Gareth nicknamed, the Steve Smile. Robin also told him that he has an Eddie Smile, he's never seen it. But he's not surprised either.

"Awe, babe" Eddie starts, before closing his mouth and flinging himself into Steve, he catches him easily and holds him close. A hug isn't exactly what they want to do right now, but Eddie's right they are in public and they don't have a death wish.

He squeezes Eddie and feels a squeeze back, a silent promise in it. Once they're in the safety of their own home, they'll express their love easily. For now, Eddie pulls away and pats Steve's cheek before getting off him and taking the seat next to him.

Steve leans closer to him, "love you, Teddy"

"Love you too, Stevie"

We had an... angst feast on discord and it hurt. Like... a lot. SO, I needed fluff and this word vomit came out.

Notes: Shoutout to that one nonny who asked me if Eddie was gonna fuck the merussy in Just add water. (I opened that ask in a work meeting. I've never been so proud of my poker face.) Well, he never got to in the original story. We're fixing this now.

To say that Eddie's utterly obsessed with his boyfriend would be an understatement. 

What's not to love? Steve is sweet, handsome, has a delightfully snarky sense of humor, and he drives Eddie absolutely fucking insane. 

What he loves most of all, Eddie thinks, while Steve presses sun-warmed lips to his wet skin, chasing the droplets on his throat and chest with kisses, is that Steve’s just as head over heels for him. 

Even though head over tail fin might be more correct just now. 

It started out as just another summer night by the lake. Only the two of them, surrounded by a myriad of twinkling candles (that's another thing about Steve, he's a hopeless sap). As often, their romantic date soon escalated into mock-bickering and a heated wrestling-slash-makeout session. At least they remembered to take off their clothes before they went tumbling into the water. Steve has lost one too many pairs of pants to their spontaneous forays into the lake. 

Steve's legs last just long enough to launch himself at Eddie in a flying tackle, and then they both go down in a flurry of water and flailing limbs and glistening scales. 

They end up in the shallow water, hidden by the onset of darkness and the low-hanging branches of the trees.

They've never done this before, Eddie realizes as he slips his tongue past Steve's lips, drawing the first moans from them. Not like this. Sure, he has taken his sweet time mapping Steve's body with his lips and hands, has familiarized himself with the feel of golden skin and shiny scales, the lines where the two melt into each other. Has stroked his fingers from the base of those magnificent fins all the way to their edges and reveled in the sighs and shudders it gets him. 

But they’ve never done it in the water before. Steve has always made sure to get them back to land, where they could wait until his legs returned - naked and still glistening from the water, and beautifully eager to part under Eddie’s touch. 

Today, Steve seems to have no such plans, if the way he wraps his fins around Eddie’s legs to draw him closer is anything to go by. Or the way his hands stray deeper.

“W-wait,” Eddie manages to say, “Don't you wanna-” 

Steve does not wanna, evidently, because he lets out a growl, cupping Eddie’s naked ass in a deliciously firm hold and slotting their bodies together in the water. A while ago, when he first learned about Steve’s fishy little secret, Eddie would’ve probably freaked out now - unsure what to do with the foreign shape of the tail slipping between his naked thighs, where to put his hands. 

Now though, he traces the shape of Steve’s fins with his thumbs and licks his way back into that warm, wet mouth, drinking down the answering moan it gets him. Steve sucks on his tongue and rolls his hips - one long, powerful ripple of those incredible muscles. Eddie meets him halfway, pleasure pooling warm and tight in his belly, and grinds himself down on the tail, half-hard against Steve’s body already-

-and then he stops. 

“Hold on a sec,” he mutters. “What's this?” 

Because there's … something on Steve's tail he didn’t notice before. The slightest of dips where there should be only smooth scales, right where his cock would be if he was human-shaped. It’s kind of difficult to make out in the water and the hazy candlelight, and what can Eddie say? Impulse control is hard for him. Of course he needs to reach out and touch. 

Steve makes a punched-out sound and jerks so hard Eddie almost topples off him. 

“Careful,” he hisses. “It's sensitive.” 

“It's sensitive?” Eddie parrots, still unable to take his hand off the spot. He goes gentler, though, pressing down on it slightly. His fingers slip inside, and he gasps in surprise at the slick, tight heat that engulfs them. Steve gasps, too, but not from surprise. “What is it?” 

Steve scowls at him - or tries to. He has flushed a dark, delicious shade of pink and his eyes are glassy. His breath is coming in ragged little puffs. He is, Eddie realizes, almost painfully aroused. The thought makes something warm and urgent tingle in his own blood. 

“What do you think it is?” Steve retaliates, even as his hips twitch and his fins flutter excitedly. “Did you think I was, like, sex-less when I'm like this or what? I told you I had … parts, they're just a bit different.” 

“Well, excuse me,” Eddie blurts. His flush is trying to compete with Steve's now. “I like your other parts just fine, so I never really put a lot of thought into it.” 

Somewhere around the middle of his frantic string of words, Steve's expression shifts. 

“Oh?” he hums, and rolls his hips again, taking Eddie’s fingers deeper. Eddie can feel how he clenches around them, and his cock gives a needy little throb in response. “Any thoughts now?” 

“Many,” he rasps, “So many thoughts, none of them sex-less.” 

He curls his fingers experimentally, and Steve makes a noise he's never heard from him before. Primal and desperate and positively wrecked. Eddie’s mouth twitches into a sly smile of his own. 

“Why, fish boy,” he purrs against Steve’s lips, starting to slowly pump his fingers in and out. “You've never done this before, have you?” 

Steve whines and shudders under his touch, nails digging into Eddie’s shoulders. 

“Of course not, what d’you think? You're the first I've ever- Shit, there's only you, Eds. Only you.” 

And damn, how's a guy supposed to stay calm in the face of that confession? 

“Well then,” he murmurs, brushing back Steve's hair so that he can kiss the tiny patch of scales on his temple. “I guess we're both in for some interesting discoveries.” 

That's another great thing about having Steve Harrington for a boyfriend. He never stops surprising you. 

More celebration ficlets

[oldwitcheshat]

Big Steddie and obviously I’ve been reading 500+ ficlets and they have been plaguing my brain. Needless to say, I decided to write something and it is 100% made up of ideas from across lots of fics. Plus it’s Steddie Omegaverse week and I’m a hopeless sap for omega Steve/Alpha Eddie.

Be warned: this is not proof read.

Also, the baby’s name is the same as the one from Junos Steddie Dads even if the fics are not of the same premise. He is just the one that made me first obsess over this pairing in the first place.

Day 6 of Steddie Omegaverse: pregnancy

Omega Steve has been a Streamer since he dropped his title in high school. After babysitting Dustin - who watched his favorite streamers and would non-stop talk about them- he began to stream. Originally, it was just for fun. Then three years after high school, he announces his move to LA with his best friend Robin and a few others. Overtime, his reaction and drama takes became more and more popular - even more popular are the videos and streams his platonic soulmate Robin joins him. While he wasn’t the most famous streamer, he was well known.

After being cleared of falsely accused murder charges, Alpha Eddie moves to LA and is quickly followed by Gareth Jeff, and Freak. Eddie picks up working nights at bars and eventually convinces the owners to let his band - Corroded Coffin - play. One night a producer sees them and recognizes their talent pretty quickly. They get signed and are suddenly doing tours and interviews and releasing new albums.

Those who follow Steve’s channel and those who are fans of Corroded Coffin know that Steve and Eddie have mates. Eddie gushes over his omega in interviews and shows a sweet side of him not seen in concerts. Steve talks about toxic-alphaism and how his alpha proves that people can be alphas without being a dick. What their fans don’t know is that they are mated to each other.

It started as Steve wanting to protect Eddie from his stream fans after all the traumatic spotlight Eddie went through in Hawkins. But when Corroded Coffin popped off it became a game to see how long it would take their fans to notice.

But no one noticed that Steve played the acoustic, non lyrical versions of Eddie’s songs played in the background of all his streams. And no one noticed that Eddie’s tour breaks lined up with the same weeks Steve takes off of streaming for his heat. When someone in chat points out that him and Eddie have the same last name, Steven shrugs and says they must be related through marriage somewhere in their family. People definitely don’t notice the same Dustin that runs a popular Corroded Coffin fan account also runs an equally as popular Steve fan account.

One day on an interview, Eddie announced that Corroded Coffin is taking a break from tours for a couple of years. When asked why, he announces on live tv that his omega is pregnant. Everyone is so excited but are disappointed when Eddie says that he isn’t telling who his omega is.

“It’s on his terms when he wants to come to the public eye and I respect that” Eddie says already knowing that Steve is very much in the public eye, just in a different way.

That same night, Steve streams and announces his pregnancy with Robins help. Chat goes wild and Steve laughs saying that he’s not going to put his mate on blast until his mate is ready to be seen. It’s the same excuse Eddie uses and one they have agreed have used several times.

Eddie is in interviews less and less as he and Steve prep for their baby to be born. Steve, however, posts more videos and streams more about baby things and no one notices that his mates voice in the background sounds a lot like Eddie Munsons.

They both say in their own ways that they aren’t going to discover their baby’s gender until they are born. They don’t want to put pressure on who their child is before they are even born.

People only begin noticing and connecting the points when they both post the same photo announcing the birth of their new baby girl Bobbie. And if it’s a photo of Eddie hugging Steve and Bobbie shortly after she was born, that’s okay too.

I like it only to an extent. If it’s too extreme then it becomes annoying as fuck. Especially if the main ship hurt other people/treat other people like they’re less important than their partner (iykyk)

I also never saw the appeal of a character who commit s*icide because their partner dies. Yall are not Romeo and Juliet calm down.

harringrove week day 3 - the summer of 1963

prompt: dirty dancing

ao3 link

Steve hates Patrick Swayze’s stupid face. He’s over it. They’ve watched Dirty Dancing approximately a thousand times and he’s had it. He knows the songs, and he knows the dances, and if anybody asked he could probably recite the entire thing by heart. 

And yet, shockingly, upsettingly, frustratingly, Billy is still not done. He’s still just as obsessed.

Steve curses the day he thought it would be a good idea to force Billy to watch a romantic drama with him. He should’ve known better, in fact he does, he fucking knows Billy is a sap. He’s caught him reading romance dime novels intently more than once. 

But no, some part of him had thought it’d be funny to watch Billy deny liking the movie. Except, it has backfired in so many ways. 

It was funny, adorable even, at first. In the cinema, right at the back where they always sit, when Billy shushed him and leaned away when Steve tried to kiss him. 

“Stevie, go away, didn’t you hear that Penny’s pregnant?”

And it was still adorable when Billy forced him into the cinema again the week after. Steve wasn’t about to argue that the film wasn’t entertaining, and after all he could definitely appreciate seeing both Jennifer Gray and Patrick Swayze once more. 

There was also something about seeing Billy so invested. Even if it wasn’t the badly acted denial of interest he was originally hoping for.

They only saw the movie in the theater once more a couple days later when they took Max and Eleven to see it and that was it. The calm before the storm settled in. 

The storm that arrived when Billy came home smiling like the cat that got the cream holding a VHS.

Ever since, Steve’s life has been hell. 

Patrick Swayze is on their TV, all the time. They want to spend time alone on a Saturday night? Dirty Dancing. Max is over to visit Billy and they need something for background noise? Dirty Dancing. Billy feels shitty? Dirty Dancing. Robin and Eddie come for movie night and it’s Billy’s pick? Dirty Dancing. Billy’s feeling good? Dirty Dancing. 

So Steve finds himself once again, on his sofa, just trying to read a paper for his class and there is Patrick Swayze once again. 

“This is my dance space. This is your dance space.”

And Steve is about to scream, he really is, but then his eyes catch Billy in their kitchen. Their tiny space that barely deserves to be called a kitchen and is directly connected to the living room. Not too tiny to not be used as a dance floor apparently. 

Billy’s moving to the song playing in the background of the film, really just swaying a little back and forth, but still, dancing.

And Steve, well, he might be annoyed as hell but he’s even more in love. And if he goes and joins Billy, hugging him from behind and moving along with him and then soaking up the smile he gets in response, then really nobody will ever know.

Maybe he should draw the line two weeks later. They’re high as hell and obviously the movie playing in the background is Dirty Dancing. It’s during the scene in which Johnny takes Baby to learn the lift in the water when Billy turns to him, “Let’s try that.”

“Are you insane?”

“C’mon, Harrington, you can pick me up any other way too.” Billy is grinning like he’s already won.

“You are insane.” Obviously, Billy has already won. 

It does lead to them having to call Robin at 1am because as anyone could’ve expected they could not do the lift successfully and now Steve has a broken nose thanks to Billy's knee and Billy has a laceration on his forehead thanks to their coffee table. 

Eddie has the courage, or maybe just the audacity, to call Billy out one day, “You have a fucking crush on him.”

“What?” Billy doesn’t even look away from the screen where Johnny and Baby are saying goodbye by his car. 

"I guess we surprised everybody."

“You have a fucking crush on the dancing guy and that’s why you want to watch this goddamn film all the time,” Eddie’s laughing now. 

“Shut up, Munson.” There’s a slight flush to Billy’s cheeks but he’s so focused on the movie itself that it barely even registers.

“Hey Steve,” Chrissy calls out to the kitchen from where she’s leaning against Eddie’s chest. “Do me a favor and stand next to the TV.”

Like most other people Steve would do almost anything if Chrissy Cunningham asked, so despite some confusion he does.

Both Chrissy and Eddie start laughing menacingly when the next shot of Patrick Swayze comes around.

Billy blushes some more and Steve remains clueless.

Sometimes, Billy cries when Baby’s father is so quick to dismiss Johnny, his judgement easy and harsh. Billy’ll hide his face against Steve’s chest and sniffle into the fabric of his shirt. He cries harder when Johnny talks about his prospects in life or the women who used him. The worst is when Baby goes to her father and tells him that he has to love all of her even if she isn’t exactly how he expected her to be. 

Most times, Billy will kiss Steve with intent when Johnny gets fired after Baby stood up for him. Strong and secure kisses that say much more than words could. Kisses that make Steve think of the time he punched Neil Hargrove in the face after he had to drive Billy to the hospital with a traumatic brain injury.  

“Nobody has ever done anything like that for me before.”

And Steve can’t really hate the film much in those moments. 

He can hate it again easily when he wakes up to hearing Billy wail along to Hungry Eyes or Hey Baby though.

Steve is not having the time of his life and if he has to hear that goddamn song one more time-

He buys the vinyl of the soundtrack for Billy’s birthday.

i did ignore one very specific fact for this so: enjoy joe keery doing the lift bye
