Summary: you're about to get out for spring break and to celebrate the hellfire club all go to one of The Corroded Coffins shows and when you were there you realized how much you wanted your best friend

-------------------------------------------------------

Y/N pov

"Y/n wait up" I hear someone yell so I stop and turn around to see my best friend since 5th grade speed walking to me so I wait for him "Hey wha-" I get caught of by Gareth frantically breathing like he ran a mile "Are you coming to the show later" Gareth said frantically trying to catch his breath "Yea of course why would I attend every show even if the Old drunks make me uncomfortable" I jokingly say as I put my hand on Gareth helping him catch his breath "Ok good but can you do me a favor" He says finally breathing normally "Depends what it is" I say leaning against some random locker as people pass us trying to get out the school quickly "Can you do my eyeliner before the concert" he says looking anywhere but at you still embarrassed he has to ask you to do his eyeliner because not capable of doing it "Of course do you want me to get anything before I come over" I say with a small giggle "Yea I need to restock my mini fridge so can you get 2 packs of Dr pepper I'll pay you back" He says now looking at me "Sure but there's no need to pay me back" I say brushing off the fact he wants to pay me back despite all the times he's been there for me and all the fights he's gotten in because of me "Alright thanks want me to drive you home" He say looking at me seeing that I'm tired and don't really wanna skate home "Please I can barely feel my legs" I say in a tone that makes Gareth look at me quickly with a red face "Alright let's go then" Gareth says in a hurry I don't know why he reacted like that to my joke but it leaves me thinking

-------------------------------------------------------

Gareths pov

Why can't I stop thinking of her like that it's not like she thinks of me like that. There's no way she thinks of me like that. I wish she thought of me like that God she's so hot. My cheeks glow red as I realize that the whole time I'm thinking of y/n sexually she's starring at me trying to get my attention "Earth to Gareth you missed the turn to my house dumbass" She says waving her hand getting my attention "Oh shit sorry I wasn't paying attention" I said thinking of were to turn around at "It's fine we mine as well go to the store and then straight to you're house" She says and laughs a bit. I try to park close to the store entrance like always "Hey you wanna come in with me" she says to me as she gets out the car "Do you want me to" I say still with my seatbelt on starring at her "Just get out the car idiot" She says closing the door of course I follow her like a lost puppy around the store "Hey I don't know what's gotten in to you but you better get your shit together before the show I'm ready to see you kill it like always" I turn to look at her struggling to get down the box's of Dr Pepper "here lemme help" I go to grab one of the box's about to fall on her since the box's are on the top shelf "Thanks I didn't wanna lose my face to Dr pepper today" she said laughing god I love her laugh it's so amazing I have to stop thinking about her but I can't get her out of my mind "No Problem I want you to be able to come to the show without a black eye from the dr pepper" I say also laughing trying to play off the fact that I was just starring at her laughing "Come on before I pay for this stuff since you missed the stop to my house I have to buy some more eyeliner your lucky I was running low anyway" she says putting the box of Dr pepper in the cart "sorry about missing the turn earlier I was just distracted" I said regretting what I just said immediately "What are you distributed by I might be able to help" she asks as she's starring at the different eyeliner trying to figure out which one she normally uses I know I can't tell her how bad I want to kiss her and pull her into my lap and kiss her neck and "Gareth you ok" she says breaking me out of my trance "yea I'm fine sorry " I say trying to see if she will drop the subject "well come on we should get going we don't need you to be late to your own show" she said clearly sensing the weirdness of this whole situation from school until now I just follow her back to the car open the door for her like normal we drive back to my house

------------------------------------------------------

Y/N pov

I don't know what's gotten into Gareth but its weirding me out a little "Hey back to what I was saying earlier what are you distracted by you can talk to me about it if you want of course" I say trying to break the awkward silence that me and Gareth haven't experienced since we practiced kissing on each other in 6th grade "Oh um I don't really wanna talk about it not to you" he says not even looking at me even though I know he knows I'm looking at him "Ok~ well at least tell me roughly what your distracted by did Jason do something to you that's making you-" I was cut of by Gareth "Shut up about Jason he didn't do anything this time ok" he said it so harshly it made me wince a little "sorry I'm just a bit stressed I guess I didn't mean to snap on you" "no it's fine I shouldn't be trying to push you to say something you clearly don't wanna talk about" I say immediately after he stopped talking we finally pull into Gareths drive way the whole band is in the garage "Hey why did y'all take so long we have to be there in 2 hours" I heard Eddie say as we get out the car "He missed a turn ok it's fine we still have 2 hours" I say before Gareth gets a chance to say anything I grab the bag of make up and snacks that we bought and Gareth gets the Dr pepper boxes I brush past Eddie into the house in a hurry while Gareth is putting up the Dr pepper him and the band are talking in the garage for like 20 minutes before I finally get tired of waiting for Gareth and go get him myself when I go down the stairs I hear Jeff laughing hysterically and Eddie saying something but I can't tell what so I slowly start to ease drop "You need to make a move" I heard Eddie say "There's no way she feels the same about me" I hear Gareth say that explains why he's been off all day hes in love with me and I didn't take the hints until now then I was about to walk in but then I start hearing Jeff asking something "I mean she is real hot if I was you I wouldnt be able to stop thinking about all the sexy things she can probably do" I heard Jeff say then I heard him say ow I suspect that Eddie punched him Eddie's always made sure Jeff never makes me uncomfortable I love that about him he's a sweetheart "the thing is that I can't I can't get her out of my mind ive been thinking about her non stop at first I didn't mind because it was innocent normal things but now I can't stop thinking about what she would look like naked or how her voice would sound during well you get what I'm trying to say" I hear Gareth say that and my mind starts running laps around my heart did he really mean he wanted to see me naked I left to think for about 10 minutes and then Gareth came upstairs to get his makeup done like always " Hey can we get the eyeliner over with" I hear a certain someone say that makes my heart skip a beat "yea yea of course sit down" I say some what tripping on my words he sits down in like the middle of the bed I crawl off the bed to get the eyeliner when I come back I can practically see all the things his thinking so I thought instead of being normal I should spice things up a bit

-------------------------------------------------------

Gareth pov

I'm sitting on my bed but my mind is other places but I was brought back by y/n sitting in my lap straddling her legs around my waist I look down to see the position we are in but she pulls my face back up not really forcefully but enough to catch me of guard "I need you to look at me if you want your eyeliner done dumbass" she says as she looks me dead in my eyes I try to look away but I can't it's like I'm frozen I shock "this might be a bit cold" she says before putting the liquid eyeliner on my water line I try not to blink and mess her up but the way she shifts her lower body against me turns me on soo much fuck we don't have time for fucking around like this "All done" she says getting up off my lap and kissing my cheek what was going on with her why is she acting so teasingly I bring my hand up to the side of my cheek she kissed "why are you being like this" I say not thinking what I said could by taken badly " what do you mean" she says acting stupid " your practically leading me on at this point you have never done something like this before whats the sudden change" I say generally curious "I heard what you said in the garage talking to Eddie and them" the second she said that I knew our friendship was ruined as my eyes slightly water I say "shit I'm sorry I didn't know you were listening I understand if you hate me and don't wanna talk to me anymore I mean I wouldn't either if I heard someone talking about me like that" "Gareth I love you I have since 8th grade I never planned on telling you but after hearing all that you said about me I mean wow " she says making my face practically glow red I got off the bed and walked to her , she was near the closet getting my clothes ready I loved when she picked what a wore she knows I can't ever decide what to wear I slowly put my hands around her waist as she turned around I kissed her I don't know where the sudden confidence came from but my confidence only grew when she started to kiss back harder and she seemed needy almost but it turned me on soo fucking much god

-------------------------------------------------------

Y/n pov

God I practically moaned into his kiss my panties are basically soaked and they have been since I over heard Gareth talking in the garage "please" I said a lot more needy then intended as I broke away from the deep passionate kiss for air that we both really needed "I don't know I don't want you to feel pressured into this because of the stuff I said earlier" Gareth said honestly scared because he didn't want to push you to so anything you don't want to do "please Gareth I can't wait any longer I've been waiting for what seems like years to fuck you I just need you" I say so eager to get fucked it's sad Gareth slowly starts moving me to the bed and taking my shirt off and I'm taking his shirt off slowly even thought we have both seen each other in just under wear because we normally just change in front of each other we have never starred at the other person in just underwear Gareth slowly starts sliding my joggers down as I undo his belt and jeans he notices how wet I am and says " God you really are eager aren't you couldn't wait to get me in your pants" I just giggle as I know it was true he slowly takes off my bra asking if it was ok to do so before even coming close to the back to take it off I of course say yes he just kinda stares at my boobs for a bit before even touching them of course he is constantly asking what felt good and what didn't I felt kinda bad for being the only one receiving attention so I start to palm Gareth threw his boxers and he moans so loud luckily no one was home except the band down in the garage but they shouldn't be able to hear us right

-------------------------------------------------------

Gareths pov

I can't believe I'm getting palmed by y/n y/l/n the moan I let out when she started palming me was unexpected and I'm almost certain the band can hear us down stairs or at least know what's going on up here we may be freaks but they aren't stupid I slowly start moving my head down to her clit and I start to slowly lick from her slit up to her clit and God the way she moans makes me go insane I stop eating her out and start to kiss and leave hickeys on the inside on her thighs "please in need you" she whines being really needy "alright princess what you say goes I guess" I say jokingly as I start to get a bit self conscious as I slid my boxers down I definitely wasn't the biggest but I was above average and I am kinda proud of it but also I feel a little judged sometimes but with y/n it was different it was like love no judgment I went to grab a condom out my nightstand before lining up to her entrance and slowly sliding in making sure I wasn't hurting her when I started moving the sounds that came out her mouth were so amazing they sounded amazing it turned me on soo much we both started getting close to finishing when y/n said "I fucking love you so much your such a pretty boy" that somehow sent me over the edge both of us cuming at the same time I slide out her took off the condom and slid next to her after I tied it of to throw it away "that was fucking awesome" she said giggling "I know but I can't believe I just lived my dream I mean pinch me please" I say jokingly but she actually pinches me "Ow" I say jerking my arm back "sorry but you did say pinch me" she's says still giggling " I didn't mean it literally " I say rubbing the skin she just pinched "I know but we should probably start getting dressed we're gonna be late" she says getting up to clean herself up a bit then bringing me some wipes to wipe off with I get up clean myself off a bit and we both got dressed heading back down stairs both us a nervous wreck not wanting anyone to have heard what just happened and trying to make it seem like we didn't just fuck I open the garage door "well well look who we have here the rabbits" Eddie says looking up from his guitar he was making sure was perfectly in tune even though the show was cancelled because it started storming "What" y/n said I look at her and her face was so red I'm assuming she thought they couldn't hear us "you heard what I said we heard what y'all were doing up there we don't care but next time please be a little quieter no one wants to listen to that" Eddie says acting like he was grossed out even though he knew it would happen sooner or later " Look what we did doesn't matter let's just go to the address of the show" I saying putting my arm around y/n and pulling her closer to me "It's cancelled" Jeff said disappointed "Wait what" I said disappointed as well "it's storming out almost flooding we can't go anywhere" Eddie says putting his guitar down gently "oh well we can just hangout here I guess" I say even though I really just wanted alone time with the girl I can't get out my head.

Part Two

Gareth Emerson had no clue what the hell Eddie was thinking.

There was “adopting lost sheep” as he called it, and “being the nest baby birds needed before they fly” for some of the other poor, mid-year transfers, and all of Hellfire was used to both these adoptees.

People showed up, always looking a little hesitant, always a little careful, and all of them were welcomed until they found their place in Hawkin’s High.

This though? This was neither of those things.

No, what Eddie had done was taken a wolf, or a--fucking tiger, that had gotten hurt fighting other fucking tigers, and decided to keep it as a pet.

Even if said pet was looking very pathetic, with a face full of bruises that apparently, Billy Hargrove caused.

That did not make sitting across from the fallen King and current senior, Steve Harrington, any easier.

Judging by the rest of Hellfire’s constant uneasy glances and uncomfortable, awkward joking, no one else was comfortable with it either.

Except of course, for Eddie.

“Dude can we like, talk for a minute?” Gareth asked, motioning at Jeff and Grant to distract Harrington. Not that it was hard, the jock was too busy staring at his pathetic packed lunch to notice much.

(The guy brought soup to school and was drinking it cold. What the fuck.)

“Ga~ary.” Eddie sing-songed, but it was in warning.

A warning very much ignored, as Gareth stood, and moved to tug Eddie up with him.

“Now, Eddie.” He said, his own tone a manic, if suppressed version of his own warning.

Gareth was not known for keeping his temper, but he also wasn’t keen on getting his ass kicked this early in the day if Harrington took offense.

And considering they had all finally caught a look at Hargrove, and the way he fucking stopped and turned on his heel the second he saw Harrington, there was no doubt in Gareth’s mind that Harrington could kick his ass.

Even in his current, beaten to shit state.

Eddie huffed a dramatic breath, making sure at least some of his hair moved with it, but stood nonetheless.

“I’ll return shortly, friends!” He called jovially, before letting himself be dragged backwards several feet.

Just fair enough away where they could still see the table, but not be heard.

Particularly not by any invading jocks.

“What were you thinking!?” Gareth started, hands crossed over his chest tightly. “You didn’t even talk to us first!”

“Garebear, look at him.” Eddie said, placing both hands on his friend's face, turning it to look at Steve’s hunched form.

“Those big, sad, puppy-dog eyes.” Eddie continued, leaning in to whisper in Gareth’s ear. “The pathetic way he slouches.”

Eddie leaned even closer, lips tickling Gareth’s ear and making the latter swat at him.

He dropped his hands to Gareth’s shoulders, shaking him lightly.

“His giant empty house we can use for Hellfire meetings.”

“Is that seriously why you dragged him over here?” Gareth demanded, a little louder than he’d meant too, if Eddie’s abruptly tight grip was anything to go by.

“Of course not.” Eddie scoffed. “Rumor has it the guy throws money around for his friends and if we play our cards right, we can be the receiving end of that gravy train.”

Eddie grinned theatrically while he said it, staring into Gareth’s eyes like his smile alone would convince him to play along.

It was the fakest thing Gareth had ever seen on his best friends face.

“Don’t bullshit me man.” He said quietly, eyes narrowed. “What’s the actual reason you decided to go against your own doctrine and adopt Steve Harrington, of all people?”

Eddie’s eyes flicked to Harrington and back. “There’s no other--”

“Eddie.” Gareth snapped, a flash of his temper breaking through. “You’re my best friend. Don’t fucking lie to me like that.”

“Has anyone told you you’ve been using the word ‘fuck’ a lot, Gare?” Eddie muttered, but it was more subdued, the playful mask falling from his face.

As a matter of fact, Ms. Click had called him out on it that very morning, but Gareth knew better than to admit that and derail this conversation.

“Edwin Dale Munson.” Gareth growled, enjoying the way Eddie flinched from his full, government name.

“Sssh!” Eddie dropped his hands from Gareth’s shoulder to wave them in his face. “Fine, fine, look. Rumor has it he got cheated on, blew up his friendship with Hateful Hagan and Cocky Carol, and then took a beating from Hargrove. All in the same like, week.”

Eddie tugged at his hair, the movement harsh.

“I found him walking home in the dark the other day. Said something was wrong with his car, but Gareth.” Eddie paused, gnawing on his lower lip, before he stopped close once again, voice barely above a whisper.

“I had to coax him in my car and when he got in he kept flinching.”

“Flinching.” Gareth repeated.

“Like I was gonna hit him or something.” Eddie explained. “Worse Harrington’s house was dark when I got home. I mentioned to Wayne it didn’t look like anybody lived there and he said he was surprised anyone did. He thought the Harrington’s moved.”

“Okay.” Gareth said, not quiet following this part of the conversation.

“He thought they moved because some coworker of his wife worked for them as a house keeper or some shit. Said they bought a place in Chicago. She helped them pack.”

Another look, but this time Gareth had picked up on what was happening.

The flinching.

Not going with his parents.

Staying in Hawkins, when Harrington had a chance to get the hell out.

It didn’t paint a pretty picture.

“Shit.” Gareth said finally.

Eddie nodded. “Exactly.”

Together, they turned to stare at Harrington, who had hunched further into himself now that Eddie was gone from the table.

“If he turns on us I’m blaming you.” Gareth grumbled finally, and tried not to let the smile that broke out on Eddie’s face effect him.

“Glad to hear you’re on board, Garebear.” Eddie said, patting his shoulder hard.

“You’re a fucking teddy bear, you know that right?” Gareth continued as they turned to walk back to the table.

“Shut your mouth.” Eddie fired back.

“I don't think I will. In fact, Harrington!” Gareth spoke the jock’s name loudly, making the dude jerk and spill some of his soup.

Bruised eyes looked up at him and Gareth fired a smug right into Harrington’s face. “Wouldn’t you agree that Eddie here is a giant teddy bear?”

“Don’t answer that.” Eddie cut in, as Harrington blinked slowly, a puzzled look overtaking his face. “Gareth here has a big imagination.”

“Let the man give his own opinions. I’m sure he has some!”

Steve looked between them.

“I think I’ll plead the fifth.” He decided on.

“Smart man.” Jeff muttered, causing the rest of the table to snicker.

For the first time since he sat down, Gareth witnessed a small smile appear on Harrington’s face.

Things I’ll never write because I lack the time to devote to it:

Corroded Coffin makes it big in the early 90s, and sure they get mistaken as a “grunge” band occasionally, but if it puts them in arenas then they’ll be grunge sometimes

Steve, of course, goes on tour with them because why wouldn’t he follow Eddie across the country (eventually the world)?

They have groupies falling all over them after every show and Steve just laughs about it because Eddie is so ridiculously in love with him he doesn’t even notice the women half naked in front of him in the autograph line

But he does notice that Gareth is just as avoidant, blushing when any attention is on him, but never does anything beyond a polite smile and autograph

Eddie tells him it’s because he’s never even kissed someone before, that he’s always been a romantic at heart who thinks the first time should be “special” (insert fond eye roll here) and Steve actually feels bad for him

Because how will he find that on the road? He has women coming up to him every night, but none of them would be “special”

Steve thinks for weeks, and Eddie knows something’s up but doesn’t ask. He knows Steve will come to him when he’s ready

And then after witnessing an especially awkward encounter between Gareth and two fans, he finally pulls Eddie aside and asks “what if we could make it special for him? Get it out of the way?”

It’s a hard sell at first, and Steve knew it would be

That’s one of Eddie’s best friends, they’ve been best friends for nearly a decade

And he’s so protective of his relationship with Steve, of their dynamic, possessive in a way that would probably be unhealthy if they hadn’t literally almost died together

But he realizes that Steve’s right, Gareth will never make a move on someone until he’s sure they’re right for him and that won’t happen on tour

And Steve was perfect for their first time. He’s patient and gentle, even now, even when they’re in a rush on the bus before everyone gets back

Eddie offers and Gareth just laughs, but it dies out when he realizes he’s serious

He asks a lot of questions, and he takes days to decide, avoids them both so he can make the right decision for him

But he knows they’re right. They’d be perfect for his first time. He knows it’s stupid to put so much weight into something like sex, but it’s just that he wants it to mean more than rough fucking on the couch of a bar’s back room

So he agrees

He agrees as long as they’re both involved and it doesn’t just turn into one of them fucking him or getting fucked by him. He can’t deal with either of them getting jealous or being mad at him

So they agree

And the next time they get to stay in a hotel, Gareth skips getting his own room so he can have the first time he’s always pictured, even though it’s definitely not who he pictured it with

#steddie #steve harrington #eddie munson #stranger things #gareth emerson #I just think this would be neat #but I don’t have the time to commit to this that I’d wanna give it #and I’m just saying if anyone wanted to 👀👀👀👀👀#headcanon #I’m not normal about Gareth okay #I just believe in my heart that that man should get loved (fucked) by Steve and Eddie sometimes

This is so fucking stupid and I'm not sorry. Inspired by this video of the two guitarists from DragonForce taking the piss out of Sabaton(affectionately).

Jeffington: Just ended your whole career on live 😘

Eddie scrunched his eyes closed then wrenched them open again, trying to make sense of what he was seeing on his screen. It was too early in the fucking morning for this shit.

Whatever.

He buried his face back in between Steve’s shoulders and allowed himself to fall asleep once more.

Corroded Coffin had only started making it big in the early 90’s when they split right down the middle. As time went on they started to drift towards different subgenres. Jeff and Grant had wanted to explore a more international sound, while Gareth and Eddie were happy to stay in the power metal scene with just a touch of neoclassical.

They had tried to make it work, but the sounds were just too different and while Eddie and Grant wanted to continue on with lyrics full of fantasy and gothic romance, Jeff and Grant had wanted to focus more on ‘the human condition’.

So they separated. Eddie and Gareth had kept the Corroded Coffin name while Jeff and Grant travelled, exploring their sound.

There was no animosity. They were all still the best of friends. Even as Jeff and Grant had settled in Stockholm, where they had quickly shot to stardom with their new band members, Eddie and Gareth made their home in California enjoying their own success. They met up as often as they could, whenever tour dates aligned or they were booked into the same festivals.

Eddie and Steve were godfathers to Grant’s youngest daughter.

He and Gareth had been groomsmen in Jeff’s wedding.

They were solid.

Which was why the text from Jeff was more exasperating than worrying.

Plus it was like… nine in the morning which, granted, wasn't early, early but Eddie was a damn rockstar.

And he might have lost track of time reading last night and stayed up until four but that's besides the point.

But then Steve was handing him his morning coffee with a kiss, saying Robin had sent him a link to something and fine. He’d go watch whatever stupid shit Jeff pulled.

Eddie settled back into bed because he could and it was a Sunday.

Sue him.

But he couldn’t decide if he should be fake-mad or wildly entertained because the link Robin had sent opened the VOD about an hour into the stream, just in time for Grant to say “Should we do Corroded Coffin?”

Both Jeff and Grant were sitting in Jeff’s studio space in front of Jeff’s computer with a range of instruments behind them, grinning at each other.

“Oh shit, definitely!” Jeff stood and seemed to think about it for a second before picking up one of his guitars, a bright acid green with black tendrils running throughout. “The most dramatic of the bunch,” he leaned into the mic, gesturing at the guitar before taking his seat again, “just like their frontman.”

Eddie rolled his eyes but smiled nonetheless.

“You think you can shred like Munson?” Grant asked, leaning forward and starting to tap out drum beats on the laptop.

Jeff scoffed. “Yeah right. Let me just play at five-fucking-thousand bpm and sing at the same time. It’s gonna be an approximation at best.”

Surprisingly enough the music they came up with did sound very close to Corroded Coffin’s sound. Grant relied heavily on the kick-drum and high hat to a ridiculous degree for Gareth's part and yeah, fair.

Gareth did love his high hat.

Jeff played the fastest guitar riff he could muster which honestly wasn’t that bad. He couldn’t go quite as hard as Eddie could but guitar was always Eddie’s first love and he was a master at his craft. Jeff gave the camera a cheeky wink as he used the computer to speed the guitar solo up, making it sound far more complex.

“I swear to god,” Eddie muttered to himself, “if they insinuate that I do that, I’ll fucking-”

“Eddie would never.” Jeff said, responding to someone in the chat who’d asked that very question.

Grant looked up with a sly smile. “Oh, god no. He’d never. He’s too proud for that.”

Cheeky bastards.

“You know what this needs?”

“Female backing vocals?”

“Yes!" Jeff snapped his fingers. "Exactly. Like something pulled from Jackson’s Lord of the Rings!”

“Oh come on!” Eddie pouted, but even still he could tell they weren’t actually making fun.

A notification popped up on Eddie’s phone.

Gare-Bear: Have you watched the stream?

Eddie: Watching right now. They’re starting on the lyrics.

Gare-Bear: Did Robin send you the link?

Eddie: Yeah.

Gare-Bear: Okay, keep watching.

Eddie: 👍

By the time the guys had hashed the lyrics out, punctuating them with high falsetto points that freaked Jeff’s cats out, Eddie was giggling into his coffee. The lyrics were so comically bad but they were so Corroded Coffin at the same time.

I wear armour and I am sad. I'm all alone and I am sad. Such a lone wolf am I. Except I'm not because here comes this hot man who's totally not my husband. Bats and demons and darkness and death. Bow down to me. Kneel before me. I am your master. This is about sex. Oh, look, a dragon! I'll suck your blood then I'll fuck you through the wall. Except I won't because you're an allegory for my husband again. I'll fuck him instead. Every song involves him in some way. Because I'm a big fucking sap.

And then it happened. That crafty wench.

A message popped up in the chat.

BuckyBirdie: Needs more dick sucking lyrics.

“Holy shit.” Grant whipped out his phone. “R- Birdie? Is that you? Stay right there, hold on.”

While Jeff continued to play through the guitar, Grant disappeared, raising the phone to his ear before coming back a few minutes later and whispering something to Jeff.

Jeff’s whole face split into the most mischievous of smiles and Eddie only had time to think oh no before Robin’s face appeared, joining the stream with a tired if not slightly manic expression, all topped off by her yummy sushi pyjamas.

The first thing Grant said to her was “What fucking time is it over there, Birdie?”

“I dunno.” She shrugged, looking down at her watch. “Like half six in the morning?”

“Oh. Could be worse then.”

“I haven’t slept yet.” She said with a bright smile.

“Dude! Why not?”

“I got into cryptography again last night and I haven’t stopped. Don’t tell Steve.”

Oh, I am so telling Steve. Eddie thought to himself.

“God. What a fuckin’ nerd.” Jeff punctuated his statement with a loud strum of his guitar.

Robin stuck her tongue out. “Takes one to know one.”

“Ouch. Right in my middle schooler heart.”

“Anyway, a little birdie told me you boys need some backing vocals?”

Eddie didn’t know how he was going to get her back for this, but he was sure he’d be able to figure something out eventually.

Like banging pots and pans in her hallway while she slept off her cryptography binge.

Though it was almost worth the hilarity because noted lesbian Robin Buckley happily sat there, singing about dick and tongues and assholes in a high ethereal voice that was then layered behind Jeff's.

By the end, the chat was going wild asking when it was going to be available to stream because even though it was a parody song, it was annoyingly catchy. Just before they signed off, Jeff and Grant let their audience know they’d ask Eddie and Gareth for permission before they’d do anything.

Eddie minimised the video and opened up his chat with Gareth.

Eddie: You wanna let them release it?

Gare-Bear: Fuck yeah!

Eddie: Awesome.

Ok, but

Imagine Gareth getting ABSOLUTELY FED UP with watching Eddie and Steve moon over each other, convinced that it’s hopeless and completely oblivious that their feelings are, in fact, 100% mutual.

So he hatches a plan to, let’s say, hurry things along.

It’s a Hellfire Night. All are in attendance in the Wheeler’s basement, including- of course- Steve Harrington himself.

The ex-jock had finally quit pretending he’d rather be elsewhere, allowing himself to watch the session unfold with obvious interest.

It was hard not to be interested in Eddie’s narratives.

They were playing a one shot as Eddie’s larger campaign was still in the works.

Their party had just stopped off to rest in a tavern and stock up on supplies, the perfect place for Gareth to put his plan into action.

“I’d like to look for some company for the night,” he stated, fixing Eddie with a smirk.

As expected, Eddie didn’t so much as blink as the rest of the party burst into giggles, leaning over the table with a smirk of his own.

“Very well. Roll perception for me.”

Gareth does, proudly calling out a 17.

Eddie nods.

“You glance toward the mostly empty bar where the barkeep is pouring a glass of fine wine for a fair elven maiden. Her hair seems to glow a pale golden hue, and-“

“Tell me about the barkeep. What does he look like?”

Eddie’s eyebrows quirk, the first sign that he’s maybe catching on to Gareth’s intentions.

Still, he continues on.

“He’s… a half elf with dark hair and eyes, and a pale scar bisecting his face.”

“Is he handsome?” Gareth presses, earning a further raised brow from Eddie.

“He’s a half elf,” the DM replies dryly.

Gareth grins.

“I approach the barkeep with a charming smile, leaning on the bar and tossing down a couple gold pieces from the pouch on my belt.

“A flagon of mead, if you please.”

Gareth attempts to school his expression into something flirtatious.

Eddie snorts but pulls himself together fast, falling into character with the ease and practice of a master.

“That’s a rather bold display of wealth, hero. You should be cautious lest someone try to take that from you,” he says in a smooth tone.

Steve straightens in his seat, his interest very clearly piqued.

It’s almost too easy.

“Is that a threat?” Gareth says in a low voice, his smirk widening.

Eddie presses a hand to his heart, feigning very mild offense tinged with amusement.

“Not at all. Simply advice. This is a dangerous town after all.”

“Pity,” Gareth shrugs, leaning his elbow against the table and meeting Eddie’s gaze dead on.

“I wouldn’t have minded a threat from one as fair as you.”

“Roll charisma,” Eddie orders, eyes twinkling with mirth as Gareth snatches up his d20 and shakes it in his fist.

He can see Steve from the corner of his eye, doing his utmost to look unaffected, but Gareth could tell he was some sort of flustered if the way he was shifting restlessly in his seat was anything to go by.

Delightful.

Gareth takes in a breath before he looks down at his die.

“Nat 20, baby,” he announces much to the wild amusement of the party.

Eddie raises his hands to cease the excited chatter, leaning in on both elbows to meet Gareth’s gaze with a positively sultry look of his own, large eyes half lidded, bottom lip caught between his teeth.

“Would you not?” he questions with a mockingly innocent tone, tilting his head so his dark curls fall down over one shoulder.

“Threats are not typically well looked upon unless you have a- heh- preference toward punishment.”

As Mike and Lucas snicker, Gareth watches Steve.

His cheeks are tinged a noticeable pink, his eyes glued to the carpet beneath his shoes as if it’s suddenly the most interesting thing in the world.

Can’t have that.

Gareth decides to up the ante.

“And what if I do? What advice have you for that, fair one?”

Eddie eyes him up and down in character, leaning in even closer until he’s inches from Gareth’s face.

“The barkeep looks you up and down consideringly. He seems to like what he sees as he slams down your flagon of mead and pushes it and your gold over toward you.

“I would advise you finish your drink and head up to your room for the night,” Eddie finishes with a sly and salacious smirk, taking hold of Gareth’s chin with his calloused fingers.

“I’ll find you when I want you.”

And there it was.

Steve Harrington’s breaking point.

Steve stands quietly from his spot in the couch, muttering a quick excuse before rushing up the steps and out of the basement.

No one else seems to notice but Gareth.

It’s not long after Steve’s hasty retreat that Eddie calls for a break, everyone dispersing to seek out snacks and bladder relief.

Gareth makes his way upstairs after relieving himself, intent on rewarding his hard work with a slice of Mrs. Wheeler’s chocolate cake when a sound from outside catches his attention.

He approaches the window overlooking the backyard, slowly pulling the curtain aside to see…

Steve Harrington pinned against the side of the house with an armful of Eddie, their mouths connected in the most aggressive kiss Gareth has ever seen.

It looks like they’re trying their damnedest to eat each other, Eddie’s hands tangled in Steve’s hair, Steve’s shoved up the back of Eddie’s shirt.

Gareth holds back a snort at the loud thump that sounds as Eddie shoves his thigh between Steve’s legs, the ex-jock’s head smacking against the side of the house as he lets out a low groan.

With a self-satisfied grin, Gareth pulls the curtains closed once more, slices himself a nice big piece of cake, and trots back down the stairs to the rest of the party, pre-preparing an explanation for what exactly was keeping their DM.

The End 🖤

Steve Harrington, Eddie Munson, Robin Buckley and Nancy Wheeler have a well-known channel on YouTube (the name is something horrible and punny that Eddie and Robin made up, way before they blew up - Four Some (just some four guys and gals you perv). They cover pretty much everything - music reviews, various activities like ice skating, pole dancing or sculpting, they do tasting videos, social experiments and much more. Their personalities are so different but somehow that only makes their content more appealing. It doesn't matter if their videos contain Steve and Eddie replicating the famous pottery scene from the Ghost (and Robin's screeches that they ruined a completely fine vase) or Robin testing whether Nancy's vocal range increases proportionately to how many wine glasses she drinks

Gradually they grow their audience and gather a small crew that works with them. Barb Holland does a lot of editing and directing and she is getting recognized for her achievements, just like Gareth Emerson for his work with sound. Everyone in their crew are friends and are supporting each other in growing and promoting their talents.

There is only one person who has always remained a mystery. The person filming them, always hidden behind a camera. Credits always mention Chris C. and the fanbase tries to pry and figure out who they are, they really do, but the group shuts down their attempts almost instantly. "Chris has been instrumental to this channel's success," Eddie says and there is something hard behind his eyes, something that almost never makes it past his laid-back attitude and usual theatrics. "They have decided to stay out of our videos for a reason and we'd like you to respect their decision."

Not everyone drops it, but the four creators assume a united front and eventually, people stop prying. So it comes as a shock when around a year later, a new video drops on the channel. But the face in it is unknown.

"Hi guys," the young woman smiles and she looks so dejected, so scared, but the sound guy Garreth sits next to her and squeezes her hand, grounding her. "I swore I'd never sit in front of a camera again, but...I think it's time. So let me introduce myself. I am Chrissy Cunningham, but you know me as Chris C. And also..." she takes a deep breath, "I am also Chrissy from the Cunningham family channel."

Chrissy goes through it all. She talks about her life with her mother, an obsessive family blogger, who had Chrissy give up all her hobbies, her friends, her privacy from a young age. How her only friend became the school outcast, Eddie, and she had to keep him a secret too - not because she was ashamed, he meant everything to her, but because her mother would steal him too. How she could never have anything of her own, was always on camera, always tested for reactions, always forced to perform and mocked for it at school. How she couldn't handle it anymore and as soon as she was eighteen, she moved in with Eddie and his uncle. How it was only then that she started learning about herself, about who she was and what she wanted to do. "Now that you know who I am, I hope you can look past what I was made to do years ago and see me as...me. Just me."

She and Gareth leave their seats and are replaced with Eddie and Nancy. While Eddie mostly sits quietly, Nancy introduces their newest project that Chrissy suggested - documentaries on dangers of YouTube, TikTok and their insufficient regulations, especially when it comes to family vloggers and loss of privacy. "It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but that is exactly the point", says Nancy and looks directly at the camera. "We're here on camera, showing you parts of our lives that we want to show. But there are many who didn't consent to this, many who are being exploited for views. And on behalf of this chanel, let me address those who think this is okay. We're coming for you."

Gareth is a big Steddie supporter and I'll die on that hill. He's a junior in season 4 which means he was a sophomore in Steve's senior year so he only really maybe saw his King Steve persona in his freshman year and I doubt Steve or Tommy picked on many freshman when they were juniors, more interested in girls, so all of his negative Steve knowledge comes second hand from accounts from his older friends.

So when Eddie is suddenly like nah Steve is cool, and Dustin has always been like Steve is cool when he gets dropped off at Hellfire, it's only Jeff and the other senior (does he have a name yet all the fics just randomly give a name) who are wary of Steve. Gareth sees Steve dressed in his sweater and soft smile, who sits quietly watching Hellfire and comes to all the Corroded Coffin shows cheering.

So of course he's the first of Eddie's friends to accept Steve and also the first one to notice how Eddie looks at Steve and how Steve looks back. He's never seen Eddie look so soft and genuine with someone before and he likes seeing Eddie happy, cause Gareth is basically Eddie's Robin, ride or die. He gives the shovel talk to Steve at the same time as telling him he should ask out Eddie.

While the rest of the band is wary of Steve and Dustin is too busy thinking his two older brothers are super cool, Gareth is Steddie Fan #1.

#i like to think he and robin conspire to get steddie together cause theyre sick of the pining #stranger things headcanons #stranger things #stranger things s4 #st4 #eddie munson #steve harrington #stranger things season 4 #steddie #eddie munson stranger things #eddie the freak munson #steveddie #gareth stranger things #gareth emerson #gareth loves steddie #gareth needs more love #my favourite fluffy hair boy

Gareth being the last one to accept Steve into their little group. He was wary and probably little too mean to Steve even when the guy obviously tried his best to be nice and friendly to him, to them all really. He had his reasons.

But he also kinda kept it going even after he figured out that yeah, Steve Harrington is a good dude. Simply because it was kinda fun to make Steve squirm a little. And see how easily he could turn Eddie back to docile with a simple “Eddie please” when the guy turned into a feral dog trying to defend his bf honor or whatever. (Tho that was also kinda weird to witness, considering how headstrong Eddie is)

Gareth is regretting his hostility quite a bit tho when they finally meet ✨Will✨Because oh my god that boy is cute. And nerdy. And cute. And adorable. And smart. And beautiful. And okay okay yeah you get the point… Did he mention cute? Little sweetness to his grumpiness. And oh yeah he is getting ahead of himself again.

And suddenly he is no longer up against Eddie’s gentle and sweet pretty little princess of a boyfriend. No, he has to deal with the mama bear Steve Harrington now. And that’s scary.

(Actually Steve thinks Gareth’s crush on Will is cute. But you know, he can have little fun with this. He knows how to be menacing too and it’s payback time✨)

#Steve asking Eddie if he thinks he is being little too mean to Gareth #and Eddie’s like oh hell no I’m loving this #Steddie #greatwise #steve Harrington #Eddie Munson #stranger things gareth #will Byers #I just think they’re neat okay #greatwise is super cute and I’ll offer this as a little treat #gareth stranger things #gareth the great #will the wise #gareth emerson #<- I know that’s not his canon last name but that’s what we all agreed on right?#I’ll get my focus back on Steddie now don’t you guys worry

-------------------------------------------------------

Gareths pov

Me and the club were planing our next campaign when I hear someone come through the club room doors I look up to see who it was only to make eye contact with my girlfriend the person I love most crying her eyes out "What the fuck happened" I said a little louder then intended of course getting pissed off because I hate seeing her cry I get up argently to see what happens when I get to the crying girl I gently grab her face to look to see if there were any cuts or bruises like she was in a fight there was a slight bruise still healing from the other night when she fell off the bed from laughing so hard and hit her head "Jason-" that's all I hear her say before I hear Eddie say "What the fuck did he do to you" as I hear him come closer I keep looking at my loved ones face wishing to take her pain away I hated Jason for making her feel like this it's always his fault "He said more things about me and said I would look prettier if I lost weight" as I hear you/n say that my heart shatters in anger and pain for her I was going to get Jason back for him thinking he can get away with saying that shit but right now I have to deal with his mess " Baby you are perfect please don't let that dipshit that plays with balls tell you anything different" I say trying to crack a joke and cheer her up as I walk her away from the door to sit down in front of a wall and hold her close as she cried quitely into my chest I hated hearing the way her sobs got quieter in my chest like she didn't want to disturb me by crying

-------------------------------------------------------

Y/n pov

I can't stop the tears coming out of my eyes I hate crying in front of people especially my boyfriend and the hellfire club they are all like my family so I know it hurts them to see me cry especially Gareth he hates seeing me cry but they way he comforts me is so amazing he calms me down so quickly normally just him holding is making me sobs grow quieter and my breathing become steady again "Hey do you wanna stay for the rest of the campaign planning were probably about done anyway" I hear gareths soothing voice say it makes me feel so safe "yea I would like that" I say so quietly I'm sure Gareth struggled hearing me "alright come on" Gareth says as he slowly gets up at the same time as me and he walks me over to his chair he let's me sit on his lap with me kinda stratiling him my face , facing him I listen to the boys talk about the next campaign when they finish Gareth asks me if I wanted to stay at his house for tonight I of course say yes because I love staying with him "Let's stop by and get some movies and snacks" Gareth says on the way to family video when we get there we see Robin and Steve like always we talk for a bit after picking out a few horror movies and snacks from the gas station next door on the way home I hear Gareth mumble to himself "did you say something" I ask generally curious of what he said "I'm swear I'm gonna kill Jason one day God I hate him so much who the fuck does he think he is" Gareth says that in a somewhat sarcastic but at the same time really serious way I knew he ment it because he really hates Jason especially since the whole body shameing me thing "Gareth really it's fine- " it's not fine he needs to learn he can't just talk to my girl any way he wants" I couldn't even finish before Gareth said that in a very angry tone as he pulled into his drive way " come on Gareth the great don't get to riled up " I say jokingly getting out the car I could tell he loved when I called him that and he generally enjoyed the nicknames I have for him

-------------------------------------------------------

Gareth pov

Matching Plaid

𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴: Gareth Emerson x Fem! Reader

𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆: surprising Gareth with a red plaid skirt to match his sleeveless vest

𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: established relationship, this is pure fluff, hints of sex, this is also extremely short so this is more of a quick imagine than a long one-shot

𝗣𝗼𝘃: first Person- Y/n

‘You’re fine Y/n, Gareth is gonna love it…right?’ I thought to myself as I looked at myself in the mirror of the girls school bathroom.

I had gotten a red plaid skirt that perfectly matched Gareth’s iconic red vest, basically his signature look. Mentally Praying he is gonna go nuts over it since I had spent my last 25 bucks on this damn skirt.

I haven’t seen him all day, us having different class schedules.

After a few deep breaths I had exited the bathroom and made my way to the cafeteria where lunch was taking place. I usually skipped lunch, the school lunch grossing me out a bit after I found multiple hairs and even a cockroach in my food once. Usually bringing my own snack or stealing some of whatever Gareth or Eddie had.

I quickly spotted the curly headed boy, sitting in our usual spots at the table we basically claimed for us, freaks.

“Not sure, Cunningham wants to do a drug deal in the woods after last period”

I slowly slid in between Gareth and Eddie and took a seat.

“As in Chrissy Cunningham? No way man, I me- oh hey sunshine, but I mean she is like…. goodie two shoes, someone like her wanting we-“ Gareth stopped when his eyes traveled down to my thighs and his lips parting.

He didn’t move or say anything, even when Mike and Dustin came over with their trays and sat down across from us.

“You alright there, Emerson?” Eddie asked before placing a pretzel in his mouth.

He slowly looked up at me.

“Are you wearing a red plaid skirt right now to match with me or have I finally lost it and I’m not seeing things correctly”

I giggled a little at his comment “no Gare, you are seeing correctly”

“Dude it’s just a skirt, chill” Jeff said from beside him.

He quickly whipped his head his direction. “Just a skirt?! J-Jeff look at it, it matches mine, I mean- that isn’t making you’re head spin right now? Guys?” Gareth said asking everyone else at the table.

They all shook their heads ‘no’

“Nah man” Mike said

“I think that’s only happening to you cause that’s you’re girlfriend so-“ Jeff said, taking a skip of his coke afterwards.

“Do you not like it?” I asked, already knowing he did but just something to tease him with a little.

“Like it? Not even love it, more like obsessed than anythi-“

“Okay okay please we get it, she decided to match with her boyfriend, how cute, but please cut it before y’all decide you wanna create a daycare in the middle of the cafeteria” Eddie said “please and thank you, anyways who is ready for the cult of vecna tonight?”

“Right about that, so Lucas has his-“

Quickly zoning out of whatever was being said as Gareth placed a hand on my thigh and shot a wink at me.

Well worth of last bit of money I still had left in allowance, very well worth it.

𝘼/𝙣 : pls this was so rushed but like I said, I’m trying to push as much fic’s and content as I can, It had popped up in my head and I quickly turned it into a short imagine, hope you enjoyed this really short and shitty…whatever this is- 🐭🎀 x

#stranger things #hellfire club #eddie munson #stranger things imagine #gareth emerson #imagine #fanfic #gareth emerson x reader #gareth stranger things #plaid outfit #red plaid #pls i love him #I’m ready to go and buy a read plaid skirt now #I probably will and do a female cosplay of him and post it on my Instagram

Just thinking in big nerd of comics Gareth who LOVES Marvel and went to every movie premier when the MCU started.

He used his fame as CC drummer to get tickets every time and it get a regular meme how people waited for his photos instead of the main cast, because he was photographed before and after every movie, Is kinda funny how some fans score the movie with that, if he's crying then the movie will be amazing, if he's not the movie perhaps is funny but not spectacular, If he's just smiling awkwardly then that's the lame movie even witnessed (it only happened with Iron Man 3 tho).

The first photography after Avengers wasnt Robert Downey Jr or Chris Evans or Scarlette Johansson, it was Gareth Emerson crying in Will Byers arms because he was overwhelmed for seeing his favorite heros in screen for the first time.

He eventually open his social media accounts and people though it was fake because he immediately started discussing about the MCU and the comics, his social meddia accounts are divided between Corroded Coffin news, embarrasing stories about Eddie, Will Byers n. 1 fanpage and Marvel.

He's always the most excited with new material, and when Infinity War came, Gareth had to take some days out internet before and after the movie to avoid spoilers and then because he was absolutely devastated crying in bed, Will had to post a photo where you could see him in bed cuddling his Spider Man plushie with a caption saying: "worst time to be Marvel fan but he'll survive."

Will also shares in ig stories how he's taking care of him and Eddie films himself going to the Byers-Emerson house with what it looks like buckets of ice cream saying to Steve: "dont wait for me tonight, my best friend is probably dying" and post it in tiktok.

Corroded Coffin also had the chance to record a song for the MCU and Gareth still believes is his biggest achievement, the next one is marrying with Will (and Will doesn't feel offended because he says his biggest achievement was meeting "The Clash" and then his marriage)

#gareth is a big nerd about comics #i know he told me himself #he LOVES Marvel #he likes DC too but is more a Marvel fan #i feel like he as Eddie wanted to gatekeep his favorite things but eventually matured and realized it was stupid #like he can have more material of his favorite things if that thing becomes popular #he's always answering to the new fans welcoming to the fandoms #he is like a true fan who loves saying about his favorite heros and likes the changes in the movies #hes known as the favorite geek on the internet #once someone draw him as punk Spider-Man and he not only comissioned the artist but he framed the fanart in his studio #he loves when people draw him in superhero contexts #also when his fans draw his husband #in this AU Will is a comic illustrator #and in case you havent noticed this is a greatwise post too #also Gareth admitted in one livestream that he read fanfics often #CC fans doesn't know his username and they are still looking for it #gareth emerson #eddie munson #implied steddie #greatwise #social media au #st social media au #gareth stranger things #corroded coffin #gareth the great #steve harrington #will byers

(Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3)

The Harrington house is big and it’s nice to look at, or it would be if Gareth was into the boring minimalist style, but there’s no warmth to it.

That’s all he could notice while he was pulling off his jeans and neatly folding them up to place on the top of a chest of draws in a guest bedroom. The walls are white and the accents a single shade of brown. Even Gareth’s oppressively suburban home had more character than this.

And it just didn’t seem to fit with Steve. Steve, in Gareth’s admittedly limited understanding of him, was more suited to a smaller but still nice house, with appliances that made funny noises if they weren’t used the right way, and was always full of people. A house that had character built into its very foundations.

He met Jeff and Grant back in the kitchen, trying his hardest not to stare too long at the single family portrait hung at the end of the hallway. Jeff was wearing red shorts and Grant was wearing blue ones. It seemed that only Gareth got the memo about wearing black and committing to the Not-Cult Cult aesthetic.

“What’s the plan then, Gare-Bear?” Jeff asked as Gareth sidled up next to them.

Gareth grabbed a can off the side, it was fresh out of the fridge and had condensation trickling down the sides. He assumed it was alright to take it. “I’m gonna talk to Buckley, feel out how to go about this.”

“And what should we do?” Grant asked.

“Make sure Eddie doesn’t do anything stupid?”

Grant scoffed. “Dude, you’ve met him, be serious.”

“I am!” Gareth replied. “I want this to work out for them and that means keeping Eddie’s foot out of his mouth.”

They all paused to remember the many, many times that Eddie’s inability to shut up had gotten them in trouble. He was great at talking himself out of trouble as well, but it was always preferable to not be in trouble in the first place.

“So make sure Eddie doesn’t say something stupid before he can confess his love and get a pass for all the stupid shit he says?”

Gareth allowed himself to chuckle. “Yeah, something like that.”

He led them all back out to the garden, cracking open the can as he went. The cold liquid felt good sliding down his throat; it wasn’t quite the peak of the summer and it was only going to get hotter, but Gareth didn’t think there was much point in not enjoying the smaller things in life.

Eddie was perched on the edge of the pool, kicking his feet gently where they were submerged in the water, as he spoke to Steve. Steve who was in the pool but had pulled himself out enough to rest his crossed arms on the poolside and use them as a pillow for his head. They looked like they belonged in a movie; so caught up in one another that they didn’t react to the screaming from the others playing chicken (Nancy on Jonathan’s shoulders and Robin on Argyle’s).

Gareth was shocked to see the way Steve was looking at him. He knew Steve was into Eddie, that much was obvious, but until that moment he had just thought it was a little crush.

This put a bit of a spanner in the works of his original plan of getting everyone to play enough party games until they could get Steve and Eddie together in seven minutes in heaven.

“Eddie!” Jeff shouted, “Did you smoke all the weed while we were getting changed?”

Eddie gasped dramatically, clutching at his heart. “Would I ever do that to you Jeffy?”

“Yes,” Jeff deadpanned.

Steve laughed delightedly, bumping Eddie in the knee with his elbow.

“Fine, fine,” Eddie threw his hands up in surrender. “Stevie said we aren’t allowed to smoke and swim so we didn’t light it.”

“I don’t want you to drown,” Steve said quietly, a haunted look crossing over his face that left as quickly as it came.

Eddie reached out to squeeze his shoulder, something unsaid passing between them. “I’m still here.”

Steve nodded, then shook his head with a small smile, as if he knew he was being silly.

Gareth shared a glance with his band mates, Eddie pointedly avoiding it. Another thing that would never be explained to them.

Luckily the game of chicken came to an end with Robin crashing down into the water, her legs pulling Argyle with her, to the tune of Nancy and Jonathan yelling in triumph to break Steve out of whatever spiral he’d fallen into.

Steve turned towards them with a smile. He patted Eddie’s hand where it was still on his shoulder then pushed off from the wall to join his friends, calling for his turn.

Eddie’s hand hovered in the air for a second before falling back down to his side.

Robin broke off from the group, stating her intention to grab another drink as she furiously tried to push her now wet hair out of her eyes. Argyle eagerly called for Steve to go against Nancy this time.

Gareth nodded to Jeff and Grant. “Go cheer him up. I hate it when he looks like a kicked puppy.”

“Guy doesn’t know what he has with those eyes, I swear,” Jeff mumbled as he and Grant moved to sit either side of Eddie, both bumping shoulders with him.

Gareth waited until Robin was digging through the cooler and muttering to herself to join her.

She jumped slightly as she turned away from the cooler and realised that Gareth was there, evidently having not heard him approach.

“Buckley,” He greeted.

“Emerson.”

Gareth winced. This wasn’t supposed to be some sort of Mexican standoff. So he changed angles.

“Eddie says you know about him.”

Robin’s features softened. “Yeah and I know you’re protecting your friend, but I promise I will never ever do anything to hurt him. None of us will.|”

Gareth smiled. “I wasn’t worried about that.”

“So what can I help you with?”

Gareth rubbed his hands over his face. He was suddenly faced with no idea how to word his questions.

“Have you noticed that Eddie has a crush?”

Robin laughed loudly, waving away the bemused glances thrown her way from the pool. “Yeah, I have. I’ve noticed Steve’s too because I know that’s going to be your next question. They’re kinda unbearable to be around sometimes.”

“Oh,” Gareth chuckled, a weight lifted off his shoulders. “Good.”

“Why? Are you planning something?” She sat forward, a manic smile on her face and clutching her can so hard there were small dents in the aluminium from her fingers.

“I was thinking seven minutes in heaven but...” he sighed. “They’re too into each other to have their moment be during a stupid game.”

“You really care about Eddie, don’t you?” Robin asked gently.

Gareth narrowed his eyes on her. “Of course I do, he’s my best friend.”

Robin held her hands up in surrender. “I’m not judging you. I feel the same way about Steve.”

“Good. That’s good”

They both fell quiet as they watched their friends. Steve, on Argyle’s shoulders, laughing at Nancy and Jonathan arguing as they strategised. Eddie was squashed between Jeff and Grant, batting on their chests to release him. If it weren’t for his hair not being tied back, Gareth knew he would have thrown himself into the pool to escape. He knew Jeff and Grant knew that as well.

“So what are we going to do?” Gareth asked.

“I don’t know,” Robin said. “But we’ll figure something out.”

They spent the rest of the afternoon in the pool. Gareth and Eddie made a great team for the chicken tournament, but Argyle won the biggest splash competition they got going. It was funny to just act like teenagers, no school to worry about or crazy religious types out on witch hunts.

Steve handed them all towels as the sun began to go down. Their fingertips wrinkled and dry as Eddie finally got to light the joints to pass around. They laughed and shared stories; Gareth even got to share his favourite about Eddie calling him from a phone booth in the middle of the night so Gareth could steal his mom’s car to go get him since his plan to hitchhike his way home failed.

At some point, pizza was ordered while they lazed around. The joints had long since been smoked down to their cherry and discarded on the floor to clean up later when they were less drunk or high. Steve had told them not to worry about it.

Gareth spent his time watching Steve and Eddie pass tapes back and forth, heads leant close as they discussed the music on them, occasionally stopping the tape playing so they could switch it out for whatever song they were agreeing or disagreeing about. He made eye contact with Robin who just smiled gently, so fond of her friends. If he was able to see himself, her look was probably reflected on his own face.

The doorbell rang, heard out in the yard only because Steve’s parents had a device installed that rang a bell outside in case they weren’t inside to be able to hear the actual doorbell.

Steve jumped up to get it.

“Eddie go help him,” Robin said, pushing her toes into Eddie’s arm in a half hearted shove.

“Stevie’s got it,” Eddie moaned, clearly not wanting to move from his spot.

Robin shared a conspiratorial grin with Nancy, then both chorused, “Don’t ya, big boy.”

Jonathan and Argyle looked just as confused as Gareth felt. He never got the full story from Eddie about what happened over spring break, Eddie was alive and that was enough for him, but sometimes he wished he could know just so he understood what the fuck was going on.

Eddie flushed bright red all over his body. “Shut up,” he hissed. But it was evidently enough to get him to jump and follow Steve into the house.

Before Gareth could even attempt to ask about it, Nancy swung her legs around off the sun lounger and clasped her hands together.

“So,” She said as she pushed her sunglasses up into her hair. “We all saw that right?”

“Saw what?” Robin squeaked.

Gareth didn’t bury his face in his hands at her lack of subtlety.

“Steve and Eddie are very obviously flirting with each other,” Nancy said slowly, deliberately.

Jonathan hummed in agreement. “Yeah, it’s not the first time either.”

Robin opened and closed her mouth like a fish as she tried to come up with something to say. Obviously she couldn’t say anything that would out her best friend, but if she denied being able to see it then she ran the risk of being committed to a mental institution. She looked scared.

“And is that a problem, Wheeler?”

Gareth couldn’t be sure where the venom in his voice came from, he was sure that Nancy Wheeler was a nicer girl than her pinched features sometimes made her appear, but seeing Robin flounder and the thought of Eddie facing even more bullshit than he already had made something protective flare to life inside of him.

Nancy sniffed disdainfully. “Obviously not. I would die for those two, I just want them to be happy.”

A tense silence fell over them.

“They don’t know that we know,” Robin said quietly.

“So we can’t be obvious,” Jonathan replied. “Doesn’t mean we can’t encourage them in the right direction.”

Argyle, his eyes trained on the stereo still playing a Queen song, a thoughtful look on his face that looked completely alien. He turned to where Gareth, Jeff and Grant were all sitting together on the same sun lounger. “You’re in a band right?”

Shit. Argyle was right. Gareth mentally cursed himself for not thinking of it sooner. Eddie had learnt Steve’s favourite song, they were going to play Steve’s favourite song as soon as they got it down; the drunks that usually watch them would probably appreciate something more country-rock than metal.

“Argyle, you’re a genius.”
