Steve Harrington was having a good day. The sun was shining, the interdimensional rifts through the town were gone and Eddie Munson was standing in front of him as if he’d never been gone. He had been gone, though, for a full year. He missed Steve’s entire crisis and Robin thinks that this is absolutely the funniest shit. Steve didn’t know how to talk to Eddie now that he was aware of his own queerness. (read: very big crush on Eddie Munson.) He was nervous in a way he hadn’t been when he spoke to Eddie before Vecna part 1, and Eddie was taking notice. It had been a month since Eddie came back and the rifts closed. Steve didn’t want to let Eddie out of his sight, and it worked out because, it turns out, the bigots of the town didn’t accept that Eddie wasn’t guilty of the murders. Hell, Mr. Carver was all the more convinced it was Eddie after Jason got ripped in half by the earthquake. So, Eddie was staying in Steve’s house. His big, once upon a time, empty house. When the ground beneath Hawkins split Steve’s parents decided to count their losses and fully cut ties with the town so the house really was Steve’s to do as he wished now. He wished to keep Eddie alive.
So anyway, Steve was having a great day. The sun was out, Eddie was alive, and Steve was gonna tell him. A month ago, he thought he had missed this chance and he sure as hell wasn’t gonna let it go again.
“So… Eddie”
“Steve, I’m sorry, you’ve been weird since I came back, you don’t have to keep hanging around me all the time if it’s making you uncomfortable. I’m sure…” Eddie burst out in a ramble that could rival Robin’s but Steve interrupted him.
“No, Eddie, listen. You haven’t made me uncomfortable. I realized something after you… well, yknow, and I can’t keep going like this without telling you.”
Eddie looked confused and a little sad
“Okay?”
“Eddie you’re so kind and completely yourself all the time. You’re funny and the kids love you. The year you were gone was absolutely miserable, and I realized.” Steve paused “I realized I wanted you here, all the time.”
Eddie’s eyes were wide as Steve continued.
“I’ve gotten that this past month, and it was better than I ever could have imagined. My house was so empty and sad and you’ve made it feel like a home. Eddie, you feel like home.”
“Is this supposed to be a love confession?”
Eddie had tears in his eyes.
“Yeah, Eddie, it is. I’ve already lost you once, and I was so scared that I’d lose you again, but I realized that I was even more scared to lose you without ever knowing…”
“Yeah, Steve, I love you too.”
Eddie was still crying and Steve wasn’t sure when they ended up so close to each other, but in this past month they couldn’t ever stand to be more than a few inches apart anyway so it made sense. Steve reached up and wiped a thumb under Eddie’s eye catching his tears.
“Can I kiss you?”
“Please, baby.”
Eddie was smiling through his tears as Steve ever so gently pressed his lips to Eddie’s. There weren’t fireworks or anything crazy like Robin told him happened in romance novels but it felt like coming home, and it was good. They pulled apart and Eddie was staring into Steve’s eyes. There was a look there and Steve was for once glad that his house was empty other than Eddie and himself because he was about to let this man ruin him. Their lips smashed together in a more desperate and frantic manner than before and they were both scrambling at clothes trying to get them off. Eddie’s kisses were /hungry/ and Steve was ready to give him everything he asked for.

So stick with me here.
Steve and Robin minding their damn business at a diner. Steve’s got his hair all slicked back and pretty like it usually is, he’s got a preppy little jacket on and is literally just existing but an angry little alternative guy comes marching up to their booth.
Because see, Steve is wearing a very old shirt of his boyfriend’s very successful band, Corroded Coffin. Simply because he likes it, and Eddie is on tour so he left it at home with Steve, because he’s fucking sweet like that.
But anyway, angry alternative bro comes marching up saying, “I bet you don’t even know Corroded Coffin. Name three songs.”
Steve is shocked actually because CC’s fans are usually pretty fucking chill and also very aware of Steve, but he can’t help but laugh at Robins eyes going wide at the question. She goes to speak and Steve cuts her off, looking at the guy.
“This is my boyfriend’s shirt actually. I could FaceTime him and see if he could name three?”

Eddie post a Tiktok reminding his fans that Corroded Coffin is getting back together to play three nights in Los Angeles and as he’s talking, he’s tossing stuff into his suitcase because he literally has to fly out tomorrow. At the same time, Steve is taking the things out of his suitcase and putting it back in their closet. Towards the end of the video, Eddie turns around and sees his empty suitcase, and is like, “Babe.”
And Steve says, “I don’t want you to go.”

Someone asks Eddie if he’ll share a secret and he says, “I can say this because Steve doesn’t have Tiktok so he won’t see it. If you know Steve in real life, you know that he has some health issues. You also know that he’s a stubborn son of a bitch who will go to work despite how obvious it is that he’s going to have a bad day. Since I’ve joined this nifty little app though, his students let me know if he’s having a hard time and I’ll go check up on him. He thinks it’s because we’re really in tune with each other. I’m gonna let him keep thinking that because it makes it easier to convince him to come home.���

Eddie, posting to TikTok: Stevie, the people wanna know more about you using your crying powers for evil
Steve: It’s not a power. It’s a skill.
Eddie:
Steve: I don’t know, I got my French teacher to bump up my grade. Got out of some parking tickets. Convinced a lot of parents to let me sleepover. The trick is to look like you’re trying really hard not to cry.
Eddie: You ever use your powers on me?
Steve: Of course not.
Steve, tearing up: I’m just - so passionate about what color we should paint our bathroom walls.
Robin, remembering that they lost their deposit on their first apartment because Steve insisted that the coral colored bathroom gave him migraines and they needed to paint over it: You bitch

Eddie, on a live-stream: Steve is a master at making a situation as awkward as possible and it’s not even an accident. He does it on purpose.
Steve: It’s the easiest way to get someone to leave. Everybody wants to see something embarrassing. No one wants to be a part of it.
Eddie: Yeah, for example. One time I got pulled over for speeding and Steve told the cop - unprompted, I was going to take the ticket - that the reason we were speeding was because I was about to shit my pants.
Eddie: Which, ha ha ha. You’ve used that one before, whatever. We were coming home from the park and the park we went to at the time, hid their trash cans so you could never find them.
Eddie: So he makes things infinitely more mortifying for me by holding up a doggie bag of dog shit and said that I had already had one accident.
Steve: Didn’t get a ticket though, did you? You’re welcome.
Eddie: I’m not thanking you!
Steve: I think I’ve actually perfected getting people to go away. I’m really good at it.
Eddie: Yeah, as evident by your entire childhood.
Steve:
Eddie: I’m so sorry. I don’t know why I said that.

Eddie, posting to his socials: Pro-tip! If you had a questionable childhood and you’re thinking of throwing out some lore about your past, maybe think twice before describing it as a funny story.
Eddie: Maybe say to yourself, ‘Hmm, would I think this was funny if one of my thirteen year old students told me this? Would this make me immensely sad hearing it from a child?’ before deciding to violently vibe check your husband with the saddest fucking thing I’ve heard in a while.
Steve, off-screen:
Steve: First of all, I agreed with you. Saying it out loud, it’s not a funny story. My bad.
Steve: Second, do not describe my childhood as ‘lore.’ I’m not an elf in your nerd shit.

I love how Steve refuses to do Red carpet events with Eddie but will go to big Hollywood parties. Keg King Steve lives on
Look, no one has ever asked for his opinion at a party and then published it in a magazine as a ‘scathing review from friend of Eddie Munson’s.’ It’s not his fault that the movie was not as funny as he thought it was going to be.
Plus, all those flashing lights.
Every time Eddie gets papped, there’s always a picture of Steve where he’s mid-blink or he looks sweaty, and Steve is never going to forgive Eddie for the photo of him goosing him on the carpet. The one (and only) time Steve walked the red carpet with Eddie as his date, Perez Hilton had a lot of mean things to say about the shape of his head and his bisexuality.
But on the other hand, Steve loves a good party.
Steve might not be interested in being a part of most of the celebrity parts of Eddie’s life but he does like celebrities. He has a whole photo album of pictures taken with celebrities. And Steve likes when Eddie gets to do fun things with his fame. No one tells you when your boyfriend runs off with his band that a lot of the famous-people stuff that he has to deal with fucking sucks.
Plus, the only people partying harder than famous people are teenagers in a small town. Steve has experience and he excels at this.
Even if the hangovers are awful.
Eddie posts a TikTok the morning after there are paparazzi photos of him and Steve leaving a party of him, Steve, and half of Ice Nine Kills getting breakfast in the restaurant of their hotel. He pans the camera across the table but settles on Steve next to him with his head down on his arms.
He’s not just hungover. He is ‘are you sure he’s even alive’ hungover. Enough that one of the guys asks, “Is he okay?”
“Uh-huh,” Eddie says with a grin in his voice. “Baby, you got any advice for the kiddos out there?”
“Don’t get hit in the head a lot.”
“Oh-ho, no, Stevie,” Eddie laughs. “This is not a hero babysitter Steve Harrington migraine. This is a Keg King Steve hangover.”
Steve looks up, “There was a keg?”

Eddie, on the same live-stream Q&A as Robin’s question: Hey, Stevie. What’s the worst thing Robin has ever done.
Steve, no hesitation, now annoyed: Used my hairspray
Robin: Oh my god, get over it!
Steve: It was discontinued, Robin, and you used it!!
Robin: I had a date!
Steve: You didn’t even get a kiss!

Dustin posts a Tiktok that’s captioned something like: Take a guess on who saw a 1983 BMW today?
And the video is just the tail end of a conversation Steve and Eddie are having wine drunk on Dustin’s couch. Steve is complaining that it’s unfair that no one will sign off on letting him drive just because he ‘doesn’t meet the requirements’ and it’s equally unfair that Eddie never takes his side.
Eddie’s got his arm thrown around Steve’s shoulders like, “Listen, baby. Listen. I’d let you kill thousands of motorists as long as it makes you happy.”
“Thank you. That’s sweet.”
“The problem is, baby. there’s an itty-bitty possibility that you could get hurt and I can’t take that risk.”
Steve groans like that’s the worst thing he’s ever heard and slouches down, “Love me less… and gimme your car keys.”
Eddie laughs and kisses him, “Never.”

Eddie, in the middle of a zoom interview with the band: Heeeey, return of the king! How’s the head?
Steve, unknowingly coming into frame looking like he’s just woke up from the world’s longest nap: Never had any complaints… I feel cloudy.
Eddie: Well, that migraine took you out for almost a whole day. Say hi to the band.
Steve: Don’t show me. I look terrible
Eddie: You look beautiful! Just like the survivor at the end of an apocalypse movie
Steve, flatly: …thanks.
Steve:
Steve, ducking out of frame: Are you being interviewed right now? Why are you talking to me?

Towards the start of Eddie’s popularity on Tiktok, he gets stopped at the park by one those Tiktokers that stop people in public and ask them questions.
Eddie’s game to talk so they’re having a little conversation when a man runs by, slaps him on the ass, and says all breathy, “Looking good, Munson.” Then they’re gone.
The video blows up and people are offended on Eddie behalf that he was assaulted by this jogger. People even slow the footage down to try to see what the guy looked like but he was wearing sunglasses and a hoodie so there’s no good angle.
Eddie responds to it all with a video from his car like. “Guys, relax. It was my husband.”
He then pans the camera over to the passenger seat of the car to what is pretty much just an ass shot because Steve has his top half hanging out the car window so he can argue with Dustin and Mike. Eddie’s just like, “See. Same shorts.”
He has a hold of the waistband of said shorts because he does not trust Steve not to fall out the window. Though he does let go to pinch Steve on the ass. “And now we’re even.”
Steve sticks his hand back in the car and swats at Eddie’s hand, and then just holds it. Eddie turns the camera back to himself and ends the video with a pleased smile on his face.

Eddie posts a Tiktok like, “If you are interest in someone, do not tell my husband. Steve is the worst person to tell. All he does is judge you and then criticize them.
Steve, off camera: That’s not true.
Eddie: It is true! Grant just - Grant, can I tell people this? …Cool - Grant just told us that him and his ex-wife have been talking about getting back together. And that’s great! A normal person would say ‘that’s great, man.’
Eddie: Not Steve. Steve’s response was ‘the ex that can’t cook for shit or the one with the big tits?’
Steve: It’s a valid question!
Eddie: Stevie, baby. When Robin told you she was a lesbian, the first thing you did was criticize the girl she had a crush on
Steve: Yeah, because she was a dud
Eddie: And when I told I loved for the first time, you winced at me like I was making a bad decision. You asked ‘why?’
Eddie: And i didn’t even say it first! You already said it a week before!!
Steve: I just think that you should have standards
Eddie: I do!

Part 2
CW: SUICIDAL IMPULSES, IMPLIED SUICIDE, MCD
Steve didn’t make it out of bed for a week. He wasn’t eating. He couldn’t. Moving from his bed was a monumental effort. He didn’t have the motivation for it. He wasn’t hungry. Robin was giving him space. The kids were giving him space. Breathing was almost impossible. Eddie was gone and everyone thought he was too broken to be helped. He could just find a way to see Eddie again, right? Maybe if he didn’t eat for long enough he would starve to death. Maybe if he had been better Eddie would still be around and Max, poor, sweet, Max wouldn’t be in a coma. Sometimes he could hear Eddie’s voice when he was especially tired, because god forbid he could sleep through all of this sadness, telling him how it was all his fault. One week would have turned into two if he hadn’t gotten violently ill on the 10th day from thoughts of the mind-flayer taking over Eddie’s body. All he expelled was bile. Maybe he should take the car out to the quarry and just…. be done. Everyone was still “giving him space” three weeks after the upside down. Steve was getting weaker, his thoughts were getting darker. He just wanted… he didn’t know what he wanted. The simple thought of food made him feel like he was going to puke again. Eddie’s voice ringing constantly in his ears. “Don’t worry, Eds, I’ll see you soon.” Steve sobbed into his empty room.
There were knives downstairs, he could….
All of the kids except Max, of course, attended the funeral. Robin was a screaming mess. She blamed herself. Dustin… Dustin had lost both of his brothers. They all blamed themselves in some way. They should have checked on him sooner. Robin will never not close her eyes and see her platonic soulmate lying in a pool of dried blood, eyes closed, and chest still.
Part 1
