“Dude I am telling you, Jonathan is way into this Nancy chick. All he ever does is talk about her.” Argyle chuckled from where he was sitting beside Eddie in the driver’s seat of his van. Eddie liked Argyle. The pair had actually bonded pretty quickly after Argyle had come down to Hawkins with the rest of the Byers’ family.
“No way man. I saw how she was with Harrington with my own eyes, there’s something going on there.” Eddie refutes with a scoff.
“Well I guess only time will tell, my friend.” Argyle smiles.
Eddie slows down as he approaches a gas station. He’d been driving for a few hours at this point and his fuel gauge was beginning to dip low.
“Gotta fill ‘er up” Eddie notes as he pulls into the station.
“Alright, I want to get out and stretch my legs anyway.”
The pair get out of the van and Eddie begins to fill up his van from the gas pump, before heading inside to pay.
“Alright, I'm heading inside, you want anything?” Eddie shouts out to Argyle.
“Yeah, grab me a Pepsi?”
“You got it, man” Eddie smirks, flicking up finger guns.
Argyle wanders around the gas station court for a few minutes, and as he does his attention is caught by the sound of some gentle mews coming from a cardboard box just behind the station.
Peering down to look inside the box, there curled up is a tiny little kitten. Its tabby stripes are a little fuzzy and unkempt.
“Hey there little one, did someone leave you here?” Argyle asks softly as he crouches down by the box. The kitten’s tiny little ears perk up at the sound of his voice.
The kitten mews in response once more, as Argyle looks around to see if there’s anyone else around. Nope, nobody, apart from him, Eddie and the gas station attendant.
“Alright, I got us pringles, twizzlers, snickers, a Pepsi for you, and a Dr. Pepper for me.” Eddie says lifting up a small plastic bag in the air as he makes his way out of the door.
“Shh, dude you're gonna scare her.” Argyle hushes from where he's still crouched down by the side of a cardboard box on the floor.
“Scare who?” Eddie asks.
“I've made a new friend.” Argyle answers, stepping back enough for Eddie to see the kitten.
Eddie's eyes soften on the tiny little cat. She looked so small and helpless in that big cardboard box.
Judging by the way that there was no food or water left out for her, Eddie assumed that the people at the gas station had no idea about her. The fact that the only other thing in the box was a scraggy piece of towel, didn't fill Eddie with confidence. Whoever it was that dumped her here likely wasn't coming back for her any time soon.
“Pick her up and let's get out of here before someone notices.” Eddie says.
“What?”
“Well we can't just leave her here, dude? What if something happens to her?”
“ Just pick her up? Like with my hands?” Argyle says, his eyebrows drawing up.
“Yeah” Eddie assures. “My uncle Wayne used to have a cat, black and white thing called Humphrey Bogart-we used to call him ‘Bogie’, so I know how to handle them, you've just got to be gentle.”
“Your uncle had a cat with a last name?” Argyle asked, turning to look at Eddie in confusion.
“Doesn’t matter. Just slip your hand under her belly, and carefully pick her up, don’t be nervous.”
“Like this?” Argyle asks, carefully picking up the tiny kitten and wrapping in the scrap of towel from the box.
“Yeah now let’s get back into the van before anyone sees us and tries to arrest us for cat-napping.” Eddie flicks his eyes around to see if there are any CCTV cameras which to his relief there’s not. It’s only a small gas station, so I guess people aren’t too worried about what goes on. It’s not like Eddie needs another offence to add to his ever-stacking list of misdemeanours.
The boys manage to successfully get back into the van and pull away without being seen, and the kitten that is comfort curled up in Argyle’s lap purrs happily as it sleeps.
“That’s it MJ, you just make yourself comfortable.” Argyle smiles.
“MJ?”
“Yeah, Mary-Jane. MJ for short.” Argyle answers confidently. “What? She has to have a name, dude.”
Eddie chuckles. Just what every all-American road trip needs. Two stoners and a tiny kitten.
eden approaching steve and gesturing over to argyle like “hey we saw you from across the bar and we really dig your vibe 😏”
they aren’t at a bar. they are at the grocery store. the three of them have been dating for years. steve just wandered off because he got tired of how long argyle spends in the produce section.

With Eden, it had been a beautiful fling, and they both knew it was only going to happen once. His mama always said that he had a special gift of seeing the beauty in everyone. When he laid eyes on Steve and Eddie, he was hooked. They were the most beautiful people he had ever seen.
"Oh, man, I think this is worse than Eden," Jonathan said as he waved a hand in front of his face.
"He's not blinking, Jonathan," Nancy said. "Is he looking at Eddie and Steve?"
Argyle was ignoring them, or course, or maybe he didn't even realize he was there. He couldn't think about anything else. Just them, and what the child would look like if three of them made a baby. Could Argyle still get pregnant? He'd have to ask his doctor. Argyle started moving towards them, dodging Jonathan's arm to grab him. He grabbed Eddie and Steve’s shoulders, leaning in between them.
"You angels ever fucked a dude with a vagina before?" Argyle asked.
Before they could answer, Hopper let out a yell.
"For the love of God! Can we please focus on how to defeat Vecna and fix the giant hole in the middle of town?" Hopper said. "Anything else can wait!"
Yeah, they had been in the middle of a deep discussion. Perhaps now hadn't been the best time. Argyle plopped back down next to Jonathan. Meanwhile, Eddie was blushing, giggling, and hiding behind his hair as he looked at Argyle. Steve was blushing, too, and wiggling his fingers at him. Hopper slammed his hand on the table, causing them both to jump.
