It shouldn't have been hard.

Steve has made hundreds of cookies for the kids since becoming their pseudo mother. Steve is good at baking! Every year he makes Christmas cookies for fucks sake! It shouldn't have ended like this.

"What the actual fuck."

Let's rewind.

Steve had been regularly bringing little treats to Hellfire. He didn't play but he liked spending time with the kids and if it gave him an excuse to look at Eddie then that was his little secret. The problem at first had been the other members of Hellfire not trusting why King Steve suddenly wanted to spend time with the freaks, but a tray full of fresh brownies had smoothed over any old issues. Since then it had become habit.

Eddie had been the one to ask him.

"Stevie, my strong and handsome liege and creator of tasty treats."

Steve had to fight to control his blush, "You don't need to give me hollow compliments, Eds, what do you need."

Eddie's smile had faltered a bit but he continued, "Well, sweetheart, Christmas is coming up and Wayne and I made Christmas cookies the first year I lived with him and I wanted to surprise him with some homemade ones so I was hoping you'd help me?"

Steve smiled, any excuse to spend time with Eddie, plus, wouldn't hurt that he could show off and impress him, "Of course, Eds, come by tomorrow ok."

Steve had gotten out all the ingredients ready to make and then decorate the cookies. Simple sugar cookies shouldn't be too hard to teach Eddie how to make, Steve could make them in his sleep at this point. It had been snowing so when Eddie showed up he looked like an angel with little snowflakes resting in his curls and on his rosy cheeks. Fuck, Steve had it bad.

Steve had decided the best way to teach Eddie was to read out the recipe and let Eddie pour everything in.

"Ok add two sticks of butter and a cup of sugar to the bowl and mix until fluffy." Steve watched Eddie add the ingredients and start to mix them, well, he watched Eddie. Eddie was so cute with his tongue poked out concentrating.

"This look good?"

"Hm? Oh yeah looks great, now add an egg and some vanilla extract and mix those as well." Eddie had a little pinch between his eyebrows, Steve wanted to kiss him right there.

"Ok done."

"Great job, now in another bowl add two cups of flour and half a teaspoon of baking powder and a quarter teaspoon of salt."

"Baking is easy, we should do this more often, Stevie."

"Yeah, we should," Steve said smiling dopily at Eddie, "Ok now mix all of that together."

Steve then helped Eddie roll out the dough and cut out fun shapes to decorate.

"Eddie no dick cookies this is for your uncle!"

Steve put the cookies in the oven and helped Eddie make the icing. They watched a movie while the cookies cooked and then cooled. Steve thought he was pretty subtle cuddling up to Eddie. He was not.

When the timer went off the boys went back to decorate the cookies. With all their icing and candy supplies they sat beside each other at the table. Giggling together they decorated each cookie. Steve's certainly looked better but he thought Wayne would probably prefer his nephews chaotic ones.

"Eddie how did you sneak a dick cookie in!"

Once they were all done they admired their work. "I think we did a great job, Stevie."

"I think we did too, Eds, want to try the dick cookie together since there's no way I'm letting you give that to Wayne."

"Steve Harrington giving me dick, and we're not even dating yet."

"Yet?"

"Well I figured you'd ask me eventually," Eddie said smiling shyly and leaned over giving Steve a soft kiss on his cheek, passing him half of the cookie.

"Maybe we can count this as our first date?"

"I'd like that, Stevie."

The boys smiled at each other and bit into their cookies.

"What the actual fuck."

"Stevie, I know I'm gay and all but dick cookies shouldn't taste salty in my opinion."

"Eddie did how much salt did you add?"

"Quarter of a teaspoon like you said, basically a pinch."

Steve stood up and went into the kitchen, the sugar jar barely empty. "Eddie, baby, can you read?"

"You can't call me baby for the first time and insult me, this is terrible first date behaviour and if anyone is at fault it's your shit handwriting on the labels."

Steve had to admit, his handwriting was terrible. "You're right. Guess we'll just have to have another date to make some edible ones."

Eddie smiled, pulling Steve into a kiss, "I think I can work with that."

"Just no more dick cookies!"
