#this entire series was just a fun way for me to embarrass eddie six million times

[sp0o0kylights]

and STOBIN TIME LOOP EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! [vibrates at the speed of sound] i like this one a normal amount

NGL this ones in like, seven documents spread across my drive, so I might have posted this part? UNSURE

Snippet:

"I normally would never in my life even think of doing this, but this is a dire emergency situation." Robin says apologetically.

She looks around, like they're going to do a drug deal instead of somehow proving that she and Steve were time traveling, before taking a deep, dramatic breath.

"You have a crush on Steve."

Steve blinks. "Wait, really?"

Eddie's face flames so fast not even his storytelling can back him out of the embarrassment. 'What the hell Buckley, I-"

Robin isn’t done. 

"You once got so distracted by his ass in gym sorts you crashed into a door and bloodied your nose."

Steve's eyebrows are in his hair line. "Really?" 

“You guys are so stupid, Eddie doesn't have a crush on Steve.”  Dustin scoffs. 

Eddie makes a strangled noise. "I don't--I wouldn't--no?!"

"Smooth, Eds." Steve deadpans.

There’s a smile creeping across his face, some combination of smug and heated that makes Eddie’s blush darken, the red racing down his neck to his chest. 

“Ed's?" He croaks, as if the very idea of the nickname offends him.

"There's your proof, now would you maybe believe us about how we're all about to die!?" And Robin's talking, not to Eddie but to Dustin of all people. "As if that's even half of the weird shit we've seen!"

"You agreed to meet Chrissy tonight right? At your trailer?" Steve cut in, and he at least, is still talking to Eddie.

Who is currently having a hell of a time stringing two words together, torn between bolting in sheer panic and screeching several insults at Robin Buckley.

"Yes?" 

"Good. We don't have long, and I am not singing Call Me again." He motions towards Robin, who turns to face him.  

"You're telling me." She grumbles, as if they were just gonna--speed past the accusation of Eddie being queer and having a crush on Steve fucking Harrington (and who cared if it was true!?) "That song is burned into my brain."

Robin snatches Dustin by the wrist, yanking him foreward in a march down Hawkins halls.

Steve takes a step after her, before pausing to lean in and whisper conspirutually in Eddie's ear.

"In the future I had a crush on you too." He admits with a grin.

Eddie makes a noise he will later deny, with every bit of the heart and soul Hawkins insists he doesn't have, was a squeak.
