Eddie posts a Tiktok of old home video. In the video, Steve is standing in the kitchen at the trailer with the phone wedged between his shoulder and his ear as he made coffee for two.
Someone must’ve answered because Steve perks up and says, “Hi, yes. I’d like to request a song. It’s - yes, the new Corroded Coffin song called….well, how was I supposed to know you have caller ID, Christine? Can you play the song or not?”
Steve hangs up the phone and immediately picks up his walkie-talkie like, “Earth to Dustin, use *67 when you call. They’re memorizing phone numbers. Over.”
Eddie behind the camera says with so much amusement, “You do this often?”
Steve smiles at him, finally bringing the coffees over to Eddie, “Every day. Gotta get your song out there so more people can hear it.”

Fuck it Friday
Here's a little more of my Christmas Fic they don’t know (your name is already mine):
They all pile into the elevator, Bobby and Athena last, as the doors close he whips out his phone to send another text to Buck.
Bobby: Doc says Eddie’s going to be fine but he’s staying the night, please call me when you get this.
He watches and waits for the three dots to appear but they don’t and it only causes the feeling in the pit of his stomach to widen. He tucks away his phone and grabs Athena’s hand, she immediately squeezes reassuringly and it helps ground him.
“How’d you even know we were here?” Bobby hears Chim ask from somewhere behind him.
“I-Me and Ravi were having…drinks,” Albert says, Bobby shares a look with his wife, apparently her hunch about that had been right, her smile is a small ‘told you so’ one.
“Without the rest of us?” Chim asks outraged and oblivious to the blatant lie. Bobby fights back a smile.
“Chim,” Hen says and Bobby can practically see her head shake without turning around, “Maybe there was a reason why they didn’t want us there.”
“It is because we’re old? Because I’ll let you know I can still-”
-The elevator dings as they arrive on the third floor, interrupting Chimney's rant and reminding them all why they were there.

It was one thing remaining from the start of their relationship, but Steve still couldn't get Eddie's hair to behave. He'd tried all sorts of products over the years, all sorts of techniques, but all in vain. It either frizzed up and went all static, or started alright and ended up with more grease than a breakfast pan by the end of the day.
Eddie didn't mind too much. Part of his entire aesthetic was grotty and grungy, and if his hair was a bit frizzy from overwashing, or stiff with mousse, it didn't matter too much to him, as long as he was vaguely clean and could headbang to his music. Whatever tricks they tried lasted maybe a day, and was way too much effort for Eddie to keep up with on a day to day basis.
It bothered Steve though, so Eddie put up with the sighs and new lotions and conditioners (and oh one memorable occasion...rollers, like he was a eighty year old woman) until even 'The Hair' Harrington threw his hands up in defeat and left Eddie to whatever shampoo was on offer at the store that week.
After Eddie started his internship at the tattoo parlour, he stated wearing his hair up, out of the way, as he was literally violating health and safety codes with it down. He only really wore it down for gigs, and despite the growing crowds that he now played for, metal fans weren't the most picky with hygiene, and if he reveled in being a bit gross for the set, Steve wasn't to know.
So the years passed, and despite Steve's occasional attempts, 'the mop', as he called it, remained untamed.
It wasn't until a couple of decades later, until after Eddie's music career had exploded and calmed down, did anything change. His D&D podcast turned streaming sessions with the old Hellfire club, garnered a lot of interest from fellow nerds, old and young.
An offhand comment (Eddie wasn't sure who from), about his lack of proper curls ignited chat into hair care. More specifically the 'curly girl method', that was apparently setting social media on fire.
'We're trying it.' Steve said, excitedly reading chat over his shoulder. 'I'm finally gonna win this one, babe.'
And they do. Eddie even let Steve film the process, and to both of their surprise...it worked! AND it lasts longer than half a day.
More importantly to Steve, Eddie's hair was now properly curly, soft and photoshoot ready. 'You look like someone cares about you now.' He says, pulling on a stray curl from Eddie's temple.
He's so pleased with himself that it makes Eddie's heart ache with adoration. Nearly thirty years but he won the war in the end.
Steve's less fond of their video going viral though. He loves Eddie, is proud of his career, but definitely hates being in the spotlight, especially as his excitement at the result is the thing mentioned in most of the comments.
'Wish my man looked at me like that.'
'Imagine being that happy together after thirty years'
'Awww you can tell they're high school sweethearts.'
'Get me a man that looks at me like Eddie's husband looks at him.'
'Love my gay rock dads.'

i hope they pull back on the quiff a bit and give eddie a softer hairstyle this season…. mainly because R always looks SO NICE when his hair is all messed up and flopping over his forehead from wearing the helmet (see: after the alpaca incident or when he bandages ana’s hand or even 6x18). but also because, with all the love in the world………. Rs hairline is receding a bit now 😅 BUT MOSTLY FOR SOFT MESSY EDDIE
Darling, every day I manifest that the 911 hairstylists will lose all the gel and pomade and just let Eddie's hair be. Give me fluffy haired Eddie at all times. I agree with you, he looks his best when his hair is all messy, he doesn't need the quiff. Throw away the pomade!

Something something AU of Hawkins without the lab, Steve and Nancy get engaged and everything’s going 2.4 until Steve takes the car to the local garage and ends up having a full blown hallucinative fantasy of Eddie in a Unholy by Sam Smith music video kinda way and later when he gets home ends up breaking down and telling Nance all about it because he thinks it's some kind of premonition and bless Nancy she calms him down reassures him he'd never do that but she’s just like “I think you might need to have a chat with my brother” so Steve goes to Mike and Will’s and they both look at each other like do we really have to have to explain this to him?!
Turns out the smoke coming from under the bonnet of the car Eddie was fixing was Eddie having a sneaky spliff to calm his nerves when he’d realised who was booked in for 2 o’clock and never has being a bit of a rebel worked out so well in all his life especially when Steve comes back a few weeks later no longer engaged and asking him on a date
