#vamp nancy au

[snowangeldotmp3]

ummm have a surprise part 3 to vamp nancy. this was already written in my docs (and honestly i forgot i wrote it lmao) but!

(part 1 || part 2)

“Any luck?” Nancy asks, frustration building by the second. They’ve been sitting in her basement for god knows how long, scanning through a countless amount of books on legends, folklore, and other assortments of myths. And frankly, everything is beginning to get on Nancy’s nerves. Everything feels like it’s been dialed up to eleven, from the sound of the pages turning, to the wind rustling the leaves outside, to whatever Mike is whispering about on the phone in his room.

Her eyes dart around the room, trying to find something, anything, to focus on that’s not the book in front of her, the sounds outside, upstairs, and everywhere else. Her eyes fall to Robin, who’s still shaking her leg as she scans through the pages open in front of her, chewing on her bottom lip. Nancy can’t help but think that maybe this is Robin’s natural element, surrounded by books, solving puzzles and problems. She seems to enjoy it well enough. She studies Robin, eyes falling on the base of her neck, where Nancy can hear the blood pulsing. Her gaze lingers there, and suddenly she’s very glad Robin’s nose is stuck in the book.

Robin doesn’t look up. “Mmm, nope. These last three books have given me almost the exact same information, and no mention of any cures. Not even that freaky witchcraft book there.” She jabs her thumb at a particularly dusty looking book, one that Nancy was incredibly surprised to see that Robin picked. Half of it wasn’t even in English.

“Damn.” Nancy mutters, but her voice is detached; she’s still fixated at the place on Robin’s neck. Can’t tear her eyes away, actually. Pain pricks in her jaw, her throat burns. Robin’s eyes flick up and catch her stare. Shit.

“Nance? You okay?” Her face flushes a pretty pink, but her eyes are soft and full of concern. Nancy forces her gaze away from the spot on her neck to look at her face. Her brain’s fuzzy; she can’t think straight, and she doesn’t want Robin here. Not because she doesn’t like her, no, quite the opposite actually. She enjoys Robin’s company, really, but because of her recent…condition…she can’t stand to be in the room with her for too long or else she starts going crazy.

(She still can’t get herself to say vampire, but it doesn’t have as much sting as it used to.)

And Nancy really doesn’t want to hurt Robin, not with this newfound strength and certainly not with sharp canines embedded in her neck.

She smiles, lips drawn tight. “Yeah, fine.”

But Robin doesn’t stop staring. She stares like she’s reading Nancy, drilling straight into her soul. Perhaps she is. She stares with so much care in her eyes that it makes Nancy sick.

(Nancy loves her. She loves Robin so much it hurts. She revels in Robin’s starry-eyed stare.)

Nancy clenches her jaw, and her hand under the table, little crescent shapes forming in the palm of her hand. Please stop staring at me before I do something stupid.

Again, no one cares but I’m bored so here’s who I envision when I reread my lost boys daughter au

This is just who envision, but it’s an x reader so lost boys daughter can look like whatever you want :)

Let me know if you see the vision and who you think suits it most

wip weekend ⚓️🦇

Rules

In a reblog of this post (so people can find you in the notes) or new thread (w/ rules attached) if you want to play on your own, post up to five (5) filenames of your WIPs; not titles, file names.

Post a snippet from one of them. Snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. We’re posting progress here. If you haven’t made any, go make some and come back to play!

After you’ve posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. You must then write 3 sentences in that file. If the filename is one you can't share from (for example, an event or gift fic), write 3 sentences on it anyway, and then 3 more on another to share.

That’s it! You can invite others to join in, or just post.

This Weekend's WIPs:

1. Eddie pining POV

2. Hellfire Club AU

3. Medieval Torture Museum ficlet

4. Vamp!Eddie AU

5. (Please god don't let me think of another WIP)

Snippet: Eddie's POV

By the time they're both in Steve's car, the people who noticed them leaving have gathered by the door in the fence, and are waving sarcastically, congratulations and wolf whistles ringing through the evening air. Eddie rolls the window down and flips them the bird.

“Insufferable,” he laments as they back out the driveway.

“You know Henderson tried to say he knew about my huge crush on you,” Steve says with a soft smile. He puts his hand on Eddie's thigh while he drives. It's hot in a way Eddie doesn't want to find attractive but is weak against anyway.

“He's so full of shit. As if he wouldn't have harped on about that if he knew.” His hair blows into his mouth as they make it to the main strip out of Loch Nora. “I'm not convinced he knew about me either. Nance, yeah, she's too clever for her own good, but Henderson? Nah. If my sexuality was an electromagnetic do-hickey maybe.”

“When did Nancy find out?”

He says it casually but there's a touch of worry, as though Eddie might've come clean to Nancy Wheeler before he came clean to Steve. He grins to himself.

“Yesterday, babe.”

“Oh! Ha. Cool.” He drums his fingers against Eddie's thigh with a happy little dance.

“And if you're worried I told Will before you, the answer is no. He gleaned that from my hanky the summer after he came home from college.” He chuckles remembering it, the panic of Will’s casual teasing, the stupidity of his fears. As though Will would out him to anyone. “I tried to pass it off as a Metal thing at first but the little shit just whipped out a dark green one, jammed it into his right pocket, and stared at me like he was daring me to comment.”

“Oh fuck off, I did not need to hear that!” He groans. “Sugar Baby Byers. Jesus Christ.”

It's not like Eddie was really testing Steve but that confirmation of knowledge sets off a bubble of joy in him that makes him giddy. Steve is queer. He really, really is. He wants to kick his feet.

Lost Boys - Stranger Things Musings

Saw someone (my apologies, I cannot remember who) post about a Lost Boys AU with Stranger Things characters, and that got me thinking. How about a Lost Boys/Stranger Things crossover?!

The Lost Boys came out in 87, so let's just go with that's the year it's set. So a year and a bit after the debacle of Hawkins Spring 86, everyone from s4 is alive (yes including Eddie) and recovered, Vecna is no more, and Steve cooks ups the wild idea of getting the hell out of dodge for a summer vacation, all the kids, him, Eddie, Robin, Argyle, Jonathan and Nancy.

They're end destination is a couple of days in Disneyland in California, but they have decided to drive having rented 2 RVs to see lots of fun places on the way. Unfortunately, they get stuck in Santa Carla when one of the RVs breaks down.

Cue Eddie and Steve bumping into some decidedly weird dudes (David and the gang) on the boardwalk where everyone has gone to blow off some steam as they wait for the RV to be repaired. Maybe having been brought back from the dead after the Upside Down, Eddie pings on their radar, so they are interested.

Something, something, Steve ends up half vamped like Michael. Sue me, if I can torture Steve, I will 😝.

All the Hawkins lot are like, "Vampires - seriously?!" And join forces with the Santa Carla crowd. Sam is gonna love Max and Lucas, and Dustin and Mike would so go toe to toe with the Frog Brothers over vampire lore, not to mention the brains Erica will bring to the table! Jon and Argyle will probably miss most of it, having started talking weed with the Frog's parents. Nancy will be all over figuring out who the head vampire is. And Eddie and Robin will be worrying about Steve, who is trying very hard not to bite people and commiserating about doomed love with Michael (the fact he got Eddie back being a ray of hope in the shit storm).

And oh, boy, is the head vampire in for a shock when he comes up against El and a bunch of teens who are so done with this life or death shit.

I mean, there's also the option of Grandpa being so weird because he was into shady government stuff in his earlier life and doesn't even bat an eye at a girl who can move stuff with her mind.

I will probably never write this, but it is now stuck in my brain, so I thought I would share my pain.

[piastrinorris]

wip week!

now that cheerscoops week is over + done with, and while i'm officially in between jobs, while i wait for my new start date seems like the ideal time to start catching up with some old wips!

(in the time it has taken me to write this whole thing out, both @stargyles and @roykentt have tagged me in posts to prompt wip finishing so thank you besties <3)

feel free to either simply ask me more about a fic idea, or you can tell me to write any number of (additional) sentences or paragraphs you'd like to see from me from a project! after the poll is over, however many votes i get on each fic is how many paragraphs i'll write. (and i won't skimp out by using loads of single lines of dialogue, lol)

key for the poll emojis: 🔢 = multi-chapter ; 🔥 = contains smut ; ↔️ = has extra conditions that could be crowdsourced if you'd like to be involved in the process

fic synopses under the cut to help you decide!

Shippy fics:

cheerscoops celebrity au - fic starts off with both steve and chrissy being on a talk show together. host mentions that they're from the same town, they vamp about that for a bit. AMAZING chemistry between them. EVERYONE wants to get them on their show/at their event together for the press of it all. and they know it's there. so they have fun with it. they really wanna act on it but their agents love the will-they-won't-they dynamic too much so refuse to let them

cheerscoops vacation au - both chrissy and steve are in separate groups on the same cruise (one bit that's up for choice is idk whether to make them strangers or if they're all from hawkins). steve has organised the trip for eddie + the corroded coffin boys (another choice - does eddie know of/want jonathan there too? if he does, argyle would also tag along). chrissy is on the trip w her cheer girls and jason, who she conviinced the squad to let come on holiday w them. however, as soon as the cruise liner sets sail, jason tells chrissy he wants to "find himself" before college, and dumps her. she + her girls end up gravitating towards steve + his boys

photocheer - jonathan x chrissy, in case that wasn't obvious, lol. no upside down au, meaning nancy + steve never broke up and jonathan never had to be confronted about his photography so he's still a major outcast. he gets paired up with chrissy for the year in a school subject - which reminds him of the only time he ever enjoyed a party, when he'd bumped into her at tina's halloween party their junior year and she'd insisted she'd change him from being "a guy who hates parties". he still pines after nancy, and chrissy tries to help, but he gets real defensive, and so does she, which he finds strange, usually people just leave him alone. a bit of grumpy x sunshine, a bunch of angst. the choice bit is idk whether they have a tender heart to heart at the peak of the angst or if they explode into a moment of fiery passion lmao

edancy dm vs dm - it's not that max doesn't want to play dnd when lucas asks her to join hellfire, she just doesn't want to be the only girl, especially being one of the youngest members. she airs her grievances out to nancy, who tells her that she used to dm for mike n the boys once upon a time, if enough girls want to join, she'd happily write a campaign for them. cue erica, robin, vickie (maybe barb + chrissy too? maybe another everybody lives au?) all joining this campaign. word gets around to eddie, who's a little upset that the girls didn't feel comfortable around hellfire, but also very, very intrigued about how total priss, nancy wheeler leads a campaign. they eventually conglomerate into one big oneshot in which both eddie and nancy control the narrative, trying to outdo each other so that their respective party comes out victorious

camp hawk - a big ol' project i'm working on that's going to take forever anyway lol. summer camp au, you know the drill

stargyle coworkers, stongyle relationship - we all know it, we all love it, the idea that stobin have to survive to work Every Single Job together. however, in this case, robin has to leave steve alone for a bit. her hippie ass parents have gone and accidentally joined a cult and she has to get them out of it. the temp agency they work for has steve listed as Not To Work Alone and so they assign him their newest recruit from california. argyle moved to hawkins bc his (boyfriend/roommate-crush, idk if they're established or just pining atp) jonathan wanted to move home. argyle tells jonathan all about his new coworker and how great this guy is and jonathan's horrified to see that it's his own queer awakening, steve harrington. he was hoping there'd be some avoiding him

Reader insert fics:

ralph x pirate - little rich boy ralphie watches you, a pirate, pillage the town he's staying in on holiday, falls in love with you instantly and stows away on your ship. ofc usually that's a one-way ticket to the plank, but you take pity on him. you think you can have some fun with him

leonard fix-it - instead of meeting those godawful sisters that ruin his life, lenny meets you, a teacher's apprentice, and slowly starts to realise the feelings he and jacky have for each other aren't actual love, they've just convinced each other they have to be bc they've given up everything to live this life just to realise they don't really want it long-term. he realises this as he starts to genuinely fall in love with you

older!tom fic #1 - something i've played about with for a really long time, lol. way before the current older!tom brainrot. you and tom had a summer fling in your late teens, never really kept in touch but never forgot each other. you have an Important Business Lunch with an Important Client for work and both you and tom are thrilled to see each other again. sparks very much reignite, uglies very much bump, etc etc

older!tom series #2 - put as #2 in the sense that this is different from ^that older!tom. basically just a series of series, telling this specific timeline of tom's. (if you want to request more on this, feel free to tell me what stage of the timeline you wanna see the most, too!)

What Do You Want Some Kind Of Disaster?

by DeviousPaleKitten

Modern Witch/Vamp AU

Generations of Harringtons were birthed as daughters ever since the 1692 Salem Witch Trials. Each generation of those daughters getting stronger and stronger as the centuries pass. Until some kind of magick anomaly had given the family Steve, the first male Harrington Witch child born in these modern times

Steve is living a lonely life being stuck with his family, one of the most powerful in the country. He fills his time with babysitting his favorite brats, nurturing his green magick, and trying to save one of his best friends (and ex) from a harpy.

But when a couple of vampires roll into town, and there is an instant magnetic pull to Billy Hargrove, Steve's life becomes the exact opposite of boring and stale. Billy seems to be in the same boat, especially when he gets a taste of Steve's blood and his magick. But Billy also has an ulterior motive to get a very dangerous being off his back and out of his life.

Robin is always trying to get Steve to live a little, but she probably wasn't talking about him having a fling with the undead.

List of current verses:

v: we leave this mountain together - This is Sam's main verse. It could take place anywhere from pre prank to post game. It is canon compliant.

v: reborn in flames [au] - this is an au where Sam goes off in search of Hannah and Beth post prank and takes the role of the stranger, fighting creatures on the mountain and protecting people as well as the main cast during game. Sam is thought to be missing just as Hannah and Beth were but in actuality she doesn't want to be found, instead wanting to protect people who come up on the mountain and find a cure for Hannah. This verse was made with the help of the lovely @mountaindmned

v: I've seen stranger things - This is Sam's Stranger Things verse. She grew up on Hawkins, often being more in the popular crew via cheerleading. She became friends with Steve Harrington and Nancy Wheeler, often hanging out with one or the other. Since then, she's seen a lot of crazy things going down in Hawkins. Working with the party on things to help when she can.

v: touring mystic falls - This is Sam's The Vampire Diaries verse. It's very open to change but upon graduating and seeing what was up on the mountain, Sam comes to mystic falls in pursuit of the supernatural.

v: I wanna do bad things with you - Sam's True Blood verse. Recently turned baby vamp, she spends a lot of time at Fangtasia. She also works at Merlotte's.

v: wayward daughter - Sam's supernatural verse. In this verse following the events of the game, Sam becomes an investigator of the paranormal. Eventually she encounters Bobby Singer and is trained to become a hunter. She goes around hunting as much as she can, hoping to find some kind of a way to put a stop to the curse on the mountain .

More verses to be added as they appear

FINALLY CAUGHT UP WE DID IT LADS 💪💪

very late day 2 of ronancetober (and my personal fav day teehee): werewolf/vampire!!! monster gfs hold a special place in my heart

[nancyqueerler]

I'm excited to write some halloween ronance one-shots now that October's on its way

[findafight]

Oh oh oh!!! Thinking about the supernatural AU and how Vamp Eddie feeds of of emotions ………… Thinking about Steve and his love of the kids and their found family and how Eddie interacts with this emotion when he’s around Steve - and how Eddie reacts when he realizes the overwhelming amount of love directed at himself!!

Eddie had never been good at distinguishing an individual's emotions from a group's. Sure, sometimes it would stick out, someone having a particularly good or bad day in the cafeteria or somesuch, but he wouldn't be able to say who was feeling that way. It was easier when he was close to them, if he really consentrated he could probably pick out Jeff and Gareth, but that's from prolonged proximity and getting used to their baseline moods. Maybe he was just getting better at it as he got older, more used to the complexities of emotion than he had when he was a kid.

When Dustin came along, and with him Mike and Lucas, he could sense their bubbling apprehension and excitement, the twinges of sickly guilt when they mentioned their friend Will. His new little sheepies (an ironic name for three teen werewolves he loved to whip out just for the giggles it elicited from them) felt so much so often he barely had to find parties to mooch off of while dealing. He hadn't been so full since spending a day at starcourt before it burned to the ground.

But feeling them during lunchtime and Hellfire meetings is nothing compared to when he gets told by Dustin to meet at Steve Harrington's house for "an emergency Party Meeting" right near the end of winter break.

There's a few more kids than Eddie's sheep, Nancy Wheeler and Lucas' little sister, and of course, the host of the day with his soulmate (a fact that consistently boggles Eddie's mind) Robin Buckley.

When Steve explains his parents having sat him down and given him his birthright, an ancient tome filled with the details of how to spot, catch, and kill any number of magic or non human folk, Eddie expects anger. Expects betrayal and hurt and fear to fill up his senses like smoke in his lungs.

What hits him first is a wave of dread, yes, but it's broken by Buckley reaching towards Harrington saying "shit. Are you alright?" And clinging to him.

Eddie isn't prepared for the rough wave of relief that fills the room as he watches the rest of the group gather round and hug the daylights out of a man who just admitted he was a hereditary Hunter. He realizes, after a moment, that the relief is coming from Harrington. That it's so tightly mixed with slippery worry and a sticky protectiveness it can only mean that Harrington brought them here thinking there was a chance they would shun him.

And if that doesn't make Eddie squirm in shame, just a little.

He lets the others plan, watching Harrington, just in case. The rest of this group may trust him, but Eddie didn't before this revelation and he sure as shit doesn't now. As they leave, he threatens him and Steve fucking thanks him for it, the absolute psycho (who thanks some random guy, let alone a goddamn vampire, for saying they'll kill you. Who asks them to make sure his parents are dead too, that no one ever knows what happened?)

So there's an...agreement between them. When they see the other they nod, but they never really chat.

Until March. Until spring break when Eddie realizes he's not the only kind of monster in Hawkins and the others, including Steve goddamn human Harrington, look at him with pity. It twists, sourly, in the air. The regret of the upsidedown bullshit not being over and someone else getting dragged in.

But they win, somehow. Beaten and bruised and scarred, with Eddie needing to drink actual human blood for the first time since he was a child, but they do win.

After that Eddie is absorbed into their Pack fully, a neat little addition next to Buckley and Harrington. They form a little trio inside the Pack, being the only non-wolf members, surrounded by pups who nip at their heels and beg for rides or ear scritches. Sometimes Robin will join them in their begging, claiming Steve is the only one who knows how to pat her belly and push her nose in just the right way, to which Steve will smile indulgently and let her shift and wiggle her body onto his lap, flopping on her back and barking.

Eddie eats the light and easy affection up, basks in they way it seems to surround any group of the party as easily as anything. There are different shades inside it, of course. The fizzy-pop between Max and Lucas, the crackling warmth that builds slowly into a bonfire when they let themselves play off each other of Steve and Robin's bond (that Eddie gets now, understands how they could be tied together through magic more ancient than can be deciphered. Thinks they'd be the same without it.) The babbling brook of Dustin's love flowing through all of them.

All identifiable because he knows these people, has fought and nearly died for them, lived for them. They feed him so well and willingly, delighted in the way they do it effortlessly with their love.

So Eddie notices a shift, sometime after everyone is healed up. A twinge of something different, a rippling emotion, smooth, easy, delicate, and expanding. He isn't quite sure who it comes from.

But he knows who he wants it to be from.

He keeps track of the ripples. The soft waves of emotion that lap at his senses. It's always around Steve. Steve, when he looks at Eddie or when Eddie is talking and making wide, sweeping motions or any number of times Eddie is around Steve. And he doesn't want to think too hard about it, get his hopes too high, project something he wants but isn't there. But. But. Eddie has gotten better at knowing what individuals, especially individuals in his pack, are feeling.

Weeks, months, and the ripples don't stop. The softness in Steve's eyes never faulters and his tiny grins never cease.

Eddie figures Steve would have said something by now. Nothing. Eddie can't take it.

"Why haven't you said anything?"

Steve blinks at him, head tilted.

"About...?"

Eddie waves his hand between them "about. About us. About how you feel."

Steve shrugs. Looks down. "You know."

It is not a question. Steve is well versed in how vampires in general and Eddie in particular feed. Steve knows Eddie knows how he feels. It is a fact.

"Yes, I do."

Steve scratches the back of his neck. "I guess I figured I'd let you say something if you wanted to. Figured after a while, when you didn't, that you just...didn't want to risk the Pack's dynamic. Trying to let me down easy, I guess."

Well. That's absurd. Why would Eddie want to let Steve down easy? Why would that-and there's a spike of something, something sad and uncomfortable, from Steve.

"We still don't have to talk about it. I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable. I--I realize I don't know what that one feels like. Sorry." Steve says, looking somewhere to Eddie's left.

"Wait. Steve. I don't want to ignore it."

Steve waves him off "seriously, if it's easier for you, we can do that" there's something ugly, cold and slimy, making its way between them. Eddie is too caught in his own confusion and worry to name it. "I'm. I am sorry, though. I don't think I'll be able to stop. Not now that I've started."

And. And Eddie should have known this about Steve. Does know this. Once he starts loving someone, Eddie doesn't think he's ever stopped. Changes it, maybe, but not stopped. Steve loves Nancy, who broke his heart, he loves Dustin and Robin and Lucas and Max, loves all the Party in their own ways, loves Jonathan and Argyle and Joyce and Hopper. He loves his goddamn parents who never give him the time of day. Eddie thinks he even still loves Tommy and Carol, just a bit.

So Eddie should have known Steve wasn't going to stop loving him once he started. Shouldn't have been a coward by avoiding talking about it, testing it to see if it'd last, about what Steve knew he knew. He should have said this weeks ago, brought up the smooth waves of affection Steve directed his way sooner, because Eddie might know, but Steve certainly doesn't.

Steve doesn't know Eddie meets his ripples halfway, everytime. Doesn't know that Eddie's own rumbling love fills him up and scares him. Scares him because how does someone who feeds from emotions and energy and can know how someone is feeling express their own? How does he put into words what he feels for Steve, when it feels so large it might make him burst?

But. But the cold slime is growing, wriggling, and Eddie realizes Steve's jaw is clenched, his fingers tangling in the hem of his shirt.

Steve stands. "I'll. I'll go. Just." He breathes slowly through his nose, the slime has spikes now. "Give me some. Space, maybe? Some time? I'm sorry. I'll try to get over y-it."

And Eddie realizes Steve still doesnt know. He snags his wrist. Turning him back to face him.

"Steve." He does not know how to continue. Has never had to put words to feelings. Steve watches him, eyes wet and wide. "I don't want space."

Steve's nose scrunches. "Please, Eddie."

Eddie tightens his grip. "Steve. I love you too."

His eyes dart around Eddie's face, scanning, searching.

"I'm not so good at words, Steve. Not about my feelings. Much easier when other vamps can just tell how you are." He slips his fingers down, weaves them between Steve's. "I'd like to work on that. For you."

Steve is looking at their hands, squeezes gently and releases. He nods. "Okay."

"Okay?"

Steve smiles. Slow and beautiful, the sun creeping out from behind clouds. The ripples are back, smooth and glassy. "Yeah. I'll listen to how you feel. And you'll tell me. Because I love you."

It sounds almost sweeter than the ripples feel. Eddie squeezes his hand, smiling back.

my official reasonings/ramblings for why each song on my steddie playlist was added because the brainrot is real (this list is constantly being updated!)

i tried to keep this as close to the actual time frame as possible, but any song can be a steddie song since eddie is actually alive and well ofc 🥰

any song with just the reasoning being “Steve” or “Eddie” means it’s a song on that’d i think would be on their playlist/they’d listen to and may or may not think about the other while they do

Eddie My Love - The Chordettes duh. but also this is the song Steve puts on the jukebox in response to the scenario below with ‘Hey Lover’ (here’s a drabble I wrote for this and ‘Hey Lover’)

I Was Made For Lovin' You - KISS Eddie’s Steve song; part of my #steddieweek2023 fic

Mary On A Cross - Ghost Literally all the first steddie edits I saw on tiktok were to this song

Hey Lover - The Daughters of Eve I have an scenario in my head of Eddie putting this song on a jukebox in a small diner, saying “hey that sounds like you Stevie” at the line “You don’t have to be a king” and blushing like crazy when Steve smirks and asks “You trying to tell me something, Munson?” (here’s a drabble I wrote for this and ‘Eddie My Love’’)

I’m Still Here (Jim’s Theme) - Treasure Planet soundtrack Eddie coded; seriously makes me emotional thinking about Eddie singing this like wtf

Rewrite The Stars - The Greatest Showman soundtrack in my head this is a AU where Steve is the rich boy that falls for acrobat Eddie; Steve joins the show just as staff to get away from his Dad/family, travel with the show and to learn more about the absolutely enchanting trapeze artist (like Ewan McGregor does in Big Fish but his love is in the show he’s working for). Steve wants to go all in in their relationship and Eddie is wary because he doesn’t trust rich boy Steve (at first) and also he is more cautious of how their relationship would be perceived to anyone outside the showgrounds/performers/their friends and pushes him away because of it.

I Won’t Say I’m in Love - Hercules Soundtrack DUH!!! A classic song for any ship; Eddie is Meg and Steve is Hercules obv. w/ corroded coffin and/or robin and dustin are the muses being like, “we all know you’re down bad for the big hunky jock you can’t fool us eddie.”; bonus! i wrote this!
