Eddie shows up unannounced at Steve’s house, not expecting to find a little boy stood in his place. Figuratively.
Age regressor Steve, pure fluff ´ˎ˗
—kink regressors dni
(this is a repost off my twitter page so the format is wacky)
For Steve, it was just one of /those/ days. He didn’t know what they were and it seemingly happened at random, like he couldn’t control it.
Sometimes certain things trigger him, though. Like the time he opened a music box and a lullaby sang softly out of it, sending him into a strange headspace where he felt 10x younger than he really is.
Vulnerable in a thrift shop with only Robin to confide in.
Today, however, he had made himself comfortable on the couch after flipping the tv on and finding that the channel selected had been the kids channel, and as it flickered to life he heard the theme of scooby-doo ring out.
He was too comfortable to change it, finding himself immersed in the show, giggling along to it and curling up more on the couch as he chewed on the edge of his blanket.
When the doorbell rang, Steve jumped and the blanket slipped from his mouth as he sat up.
“Stevie! You home? I can see your car, man.” Eddie’s voice made Steve gasp and shoot up off the couch, racing to the foyer.
“Eddie!” Steve swung the door open, blanket wrapped around his shoulders, nearly slipping on the shiny floors with his socked feet.
“Oh- hey, sorry. Didn’t call before I came, I know. Dreadful etiquette.” Eddie chuckles, stepping into the house as Steve shuts the door behind him.
“You up for a smoke? Brought a six-pack too.” Eddie holds up the case of beer and grins.
The grin falters when he looks back at Steve’s face, eyes wide like he has no idea what Eddie’s talking about. “Whuh- huh?” Eddie frowns as he walks into the kitchen, Steve following in tow.
“You alright, sweetheart?”
Steve nods and giggles in response. “Like when you say that.” Eddie’s eyes widen, then he furrows his brows, leaning against the counter.
“How old are you feeling, Stevie?” Steve just sits at the kitchen bench and sways his feet, thinking about it.
“Dunno… maybe..” Steve bites his lip and his face scrunches up as he counts on his fingers, holding up 4 of them, then 3, then back to 4. “Dunno, sorry.”
Eddie nods, face twisted in thought. “It’s alright, that’s good. Thank you for telling me, baby.”
Steve’s face lights up and Eddie smiles, ruffling his hair. Steve squeaks, batting his hands away with a pout. “Don’t touch my hair!”
Eddie snorts, holding his hands up in surrender. “I see you’re still a little Princess about your hair. Alright, have you eaten?”
Steve thinks for a second, glancing behind him towards the loungeroom. “Uhm.. yeah.” Eddie raises an eyebrow, taking one step towards the room before Steve’s giggling and standing up, pushing Eddie back and further away from the loungeroom.
“No, Eddie! Don’t look! Not for you!” Eddie can’t help but grin at the happy, carefree look on Steve’s face and he laughs with him.
“What are you hiding in there, huh?” Eddie pushes past Steve and jogs over to the loungeroom and gasps dramatically.
“Steven!”
“You’re hoarding chocolate bars, so naughty!” Eddie laughs breathily, as he walks up to the coffee table, taking in Steves little setup.
There are 2 wrappers littering the table, 3 unopened and one opened bar laying lonely on the couch where it looks like Steve was sitting.
“Is this all you’ve eaten, bub?” At Steve’s silence, Eddie turns around and his heart aches at the sight.
Steve standing nervously in the threshold, eyes bubbling with tears as he chews his thumb, seeking out some kind of comfort.
“Woah- hey, Stevie- What happened?”
Steve’s breath shudders and his lip wobbles, everything about the sight makes Eddie’s heart break in two.
“Didn’t mean to- I swear-” Eddie frowns, rushing over to Steve, gently wiping the tears from his cheeks.
“Baby! Sweetie, it’s okay. You’re okay, don’t even worry about it.”
“Jus’ don’ know how to cook very well..” Steve sniffles, rubbing his eyes with his fists and Eddie gently scolds him for it, pulling his hands away. “Please don’ call me that, though. Hate it.”
“Oh, baby,” Eddie sighs, “Which one?”
“ ‘Teven… Only get called that when m’naughty.”
Eddie pets Steve’s hair, leaning to place a kiss on the top of his head. “I’m sorry, honey. Thank you for telling me though, look how good you are!”
Steve giggles a little, pushing Eddie’s hand away from his head.
“Say… Let’s get your tummy full before you go back and watch… scooby-doo?”
“Scooby-doo!” Steve perks up and tries running back into the loungeroom, eager and excited.
Eddie catches him and wraps his arms around Steve’s waist before he can escape, laughing and dragging him back.
“Nuh-uh. Come on, silly boy. If you behave we’ll order pizza.” Steve gasps and squeezes out of Eddie’s hold, rushing into the kitchen.
He rummages through the pamphlets of all the restursnts and waves the pizzeria’s number in Eddie’s face.
“Please! Jus’ cheese?” Steve smiles at Eddie and he can’t even think about saying no to him.
“Of course little man. You wanna sit sit on the counter and listen?”
Steve grins excitedly and turns, trying to hop up on the counter but Eddie reaches and grabs his waist, guiding him up. “There you go, good. Sit still.”
Eddie calls up the pizza place, smiling and silently giggling at Steve who’s making silly faces at him. He cups Steve’s cheek as he’s speaking into the phone and strokes it with his thumb.
When Steve starts babbling randomly, swinging his feet and giggling at random things Eddie has to hold back an amused laugh, instead he covers the speaker, bringing his finger to his lips.
“Shhh, baby. Just for a minute.” He whispers.
“Okay!” Steve whispers back, very loudly, but he’s got the spirit and that’s what counts.
When the phone call ends, Eddie pats Steve’s thigh and helps him off the counter.
“Let’s go cuddle up on the couch and wait until the pizza gets here, yeah baby?” Eddie takes Steve’s hand and Steve brings Eddie’s finger to his mouth, biting lightly. “Gonna have to get you a chew toy, huh?”
“A what-wha?”
Eddie snorts, quickly filling a water bottle and guiding Steve back over to the loungeroom.
“Sit down there. What do you wanna watch, bub?” He sorts through the accumulation of tapes under the tv cabinet, holding them up so Steve can see.
“Hm… yogi bear?” Steve frowns, and looks at Eddie for confirmation.
Eddie just grins and shoved the tape in the player and sits on the couch. “Good choice, you’re so perfect. My perfect boy.”
Steve smiles contentedly and leans into Eddie, wrapping an arm around his middle, head resting on his shoulder. “Like you s’much, Eds.”
“You’re so cute.” Eddie sighs, pushing Steve’s hair back off his forehead, placing a kiss there.
“I like you too.”

Little Steve struggling to stay big, ultimately fails, misses Eddie, Eddie comes and comforts his baby <3
Little!steve 🧸
kink regressors dni
Steve is /tired/
Absolutely exhausted
And he doesn’t know if it’s mentally or physically or both (probably both)
But if another person asks about a movie that he hasn’t seen or where something is when it’s right. In front. Of their face.
He’s over it
Steve bites at his lip as he stocks tapes back into their place, his mind wondering to being home at the trailer and cuddling with Eddie.
Just being around Eddie.
He misses his teddy
Steve huffs and shakes his head, his mind can’t wonder at work
He hears the bell ring
Why can’t people just stay home?
“Helloo birdie Buckley”
Steve whips his head around at the sound of Eddie
“Hi Edward”
Steve imagines the grimace on Eddie’s face
“Gross, okay bucks where’s my boy” he asks, Steve just knows he’s leaning on the counter like he always does
“Uh horror section? I think? Just call him he can hear-kinda”
Steve pouts at that “hey! I hear just fine”
Steve hears Eddie before he sees him, the sound of metal jingling and boots thudding. Eddie bounds around the corner, smiling a bright smile with his cheeks a little flushed
“Hi baby” he greets
Steve suppresses a wide smile, the nickname making his mind fuzz
“Hi Ed’s” he looks down at the tapes he’s holding as if they were more interesting
“Hi baby” Eddie says again, but this time as if he knows. Can see right through Steve and tell right away. He can always tell
Steve flushes and turns, Eddie crowds towards him. Steve smiles feeling the pressure on his back. Eddie places a kiss on his shoulder, they’re safe behind the shelves.
Eddie moves to kiss his neck, nothing but innocent affection steve knows
“Missed you, honey” Eddie says softly, hugging Steve from behind
“Missed you too dork” steve rolls his eyes and leans back into eddie
“Just wanted to let you know that the guys wanted to go out tonight for guys night? I dunno I think gareth has a crush on this girl at the hideout and needs a wingman. Which-” Steve feels Eddie huff a laugh into his neck
Steve doesn’t reply, frown setting in. It’s been a while since Eddie’s went out with them outside of hellfire…usually at home with Steve or taking care of him when he regresses
He fights the urge to whine out and fuss. He’s big!
“Sounds fun Ed’s” Steve says softly
“You okay with that?” Eddie moves his hands up and massages at Steve’s shoulders
“Yeah babe, you should have fun” Steve shrugs lightly, tilting his head to place a kiss at Eddie’s hand
“Are you sure? You..” Eddie lowers his voice further “You seem a little small no?”
Steve bites his lip before responding “Just felt fuzzy for a bit, I’m okay though it’s already going away” Steve tries harder to pronúnciate his words
Eddie nuzzles into his neck, “You sure..?”
Steve let’s out a laugh, mind feeling distant before he tries to focus “Yes, Eddie. I’ll be okay, I’m a big boy. You don’t gotta take care of me all the time”
“Hey, you know I like doin it. You’re my baby anyway” Eddie pulls Steve close in a tight hug. Steve smiles before turning, finally meeting Eddie’s eye
“Hey” he smiles and placed a kiss on Eddie’s cheek
“Hi yourself” Eddie kisses his forehead then looks down at his watch “Ugh I gotta dip, promised I’d help dress gareth up” he rolls his eyes “he’s more of a girl than I am” Eddie ruffles his curls
Steve snorts “whatever Munson, get outta here” he places his hands on Eddie’s shoulders, Eddie melts for a second before leaning down, he kisses Steve properly. It’s tender and soft. Steve smiles into the kiss, all the worries melting away
“Okay..I’ll see you later tonight-I’ll try to hurry” he cups Steve’s cheek. Steve nods, kissing Eddie’s palm
“You better”
It takes another five minutes before Eddie leaves, lasts last kisses shared
Steve feels better after that, his shoulder less tense and his mood much less grumpy
Except it doesn’t last
It starts going down hill again, he has to work a double now that a new hire decided not to show. Robin offers to stay but Steve can tell she doesn’t want to so he shrugs and waves her off. He can handle it (he can’t)
People come in in an extra bad mood. Demanding to know why he sold an r rated film to 12 year olds (a tape which suspiciously had gone missing last week-)
Someone not paying attention when he asks them the usual check out questions.
People coming up and deciding they don’t want a tape and just giving it to him when they could just. Put it back.
And finally, people being upset at prices. As if he’s the one personally deciding prices- he doesn’t even know how that works. I mean do they price based on the film?
Based on how the tape was made? The casing?
Steve shakes his head as he locks up. He’s tired so so tired. He huffs and pulls at the doors, double checking that they locked. Finally, he gets to his car that has been there since 9:30am.
It’s 10pm.
he gets in. Shuts the door. Hands places on his steering wheel. He feels his eyes sting with tears
no. You gotta drive
He rubs at his eyes harshly and turns the car on. He can just. Just drive home and put on Scooby doo and eat a bowl of cereal and Steve is driving down the road now. Unfortunately the universe has decided to give him every. Single. Red light
His hands shake as they grip the wheel
Just a bit further-
And the drivers. It’s as if everyone and their mother didn’t pass their drivers test it’s a small town how do you almost merge into someone?Steve’s eye twitches as he honks at a driver that cut him off.
He takes a deep shaky breath
“Just gotta get home. Home home”
He stops again at a light, the last one before more open road that leads right to the trailer park. Steve speeds down the road finally, definitely going 55 in a 45 but fuck it! Eddie’s done worse.
Steve frowns at the thought of Eddie-Eddie isn’t home, he’s with the band. Steve let’s out a whine high in his throat as he turns into the park
Eddie’s not home
he stares sadly at the spot where Eddie parks the van
He’s alone tonight..
Maybe he should call up the bar and-
Steve bites him lip, hand coming up to fidget with his bottom lip. He can’t do that! He’s been small before Eddie even told him what it was!
He could do it again
Steve gathers all his usual things. A soft blanket Eddie gifted him, his favorite stuffie Benny, he grabbed a bowl of his favorite cereal (yes everything in his hands) He places the bowl down as he grabs the milk, carefully pouring it and smiles as he pours perfectly. He feels giddiness fill his chest. He goes to call out to Eddie but his smile falls as he remembers
“Alone t’night, stevie” he says to himself “we got this, dids it before an can do it’s again”
He plots down onto the couch now, arranges Benny into his lap and scoops cereal into his mouth. He nods to himself
“M doin good right benny?” He whispers down at the little dog stuffie Steve smiles and rubs a hand on its head. He finished eating no problem, places the bowl into the sink like teddy has told him to
He feels proud of himself! If eddie was here he’d definitely give Steve two little stars! Again, Steve frowns at the reminder of Eddie’s absence
“Nuh, just gotta wait and then can tell teddy I did good. Put milk, I eats, puts in sink” Steve nods with a smile and settles again on the couch, Benny in his lap
“Yeah and teddy gonna be so proud, gonna say I’m good”
With that Steve rubs his face into the soft fur of the stuffed animal. He turns the tv on and searches for Scooby doo. He knows by now that there’s always late showings. As the night goes on, Steve’s eyes get heavy he blinks sleepily at the tv. He’s not sure how long he’s been watching but it’s the second mystery solved. He blinks his eyes over to the clock on the wall
“Lil hand s’hour an..big hand is…is min-mm” Steve takes a deep breath blinking again to get his eyes to focus, he frowns when he finally reads the time
12:23
Eddie said he wouldn’t be back too late, but how late is too late when it’s boys night? Steve let’s out a whine. What if Eddie’s not back until 3am? What if he’s not back later? what if he doesn’t come back? Steve takes a couple quick breaths, hugging benny close. He feels his eyes start to water, hot tears running down his cheeks
“Ed’s gonna come back right Benny? He’s gotta” he nuzzled into the fur making it wet
what if m too much? And he doesn come back?
Another whine at the thought. Steve swallows harshly. No,,no he knows his teddy he’s just having fun! How could steve worry over silly things when he knows Eddie will be back soon
Just making him take care of you when he gets backs
he’s gonna be too tired to deal with you
Steve frowns and wipes at his cheeks. He can’t let Eddie see him little when he gets home, he is gonna be tired. Too tired to care for him-Steve shouldn’t even need to be cared for
He has to be big, he’s gotta be the one to care for Eddie when he gets back
He huffs and stands, benny and his blanket in hand. He marches right to their room, places the blanket on the bed before leaving Benny on his pillow and makes his way back out
(Before turning right back around and grabbing benny to sit besides him on the couch)
Steve huffs and grabs the remote. Flick through the few channels they have before a late horror movie clicks on. Thats good, it’ll make him big
Sadly it doesn’t work
If anything it’s just made Steve smaller. He hides behind his hands then his knees as he balls himself up on the couch.He refuses to grab for benny whose a few inches away. He doesn’t realise how late it is before the trailer door is opened. He jumps slightly, letting out a yelp and covering himself
“Stevie?”
Steve’s basically panting has he lowers his hands he blinks away tears he didn’t know were there
“Teddy?” He whispers
Eddie frowns, closes the door and toes off his boots before making his way to Steve
“Are you small?” He asks softly, kneeling down next to the couch. Steve shakes his head and wipes at his cheeks
“I’m big” he lowers his voice a bit
Eddie squints his eyes slightly, looks at the hoodie Steve’s wearing, benny next to him then at the tv that’s still playing the movie. He frowns
“Baby, Whyre you watching a scary movie? You’re too little for that” he grabs the remote and clicks it off
Steve pouts “I’m not little, I’m big” He crosses his arms, fighting the urge to melt at Eddie’s words and fall into his arms
“And why are you up so late sugar? It’s like 1am” he frowns again, ignoring Steve’s last response
Steve frowns, feels a tug in his chest at Eddie’s frown
you’re making him feel bad
“You gotta get to bed Ed’s” he whispers
Eddie’s eyebrows furrow
“Baby love” he cups at Steve’s cheek
Steve curses at the whine he lets out
“Stop Ed’s I’m big!” He pushes away Eddie’s hand
Eddie’s frown deepens at that, his baby never pushes him away unless somethings really wrong
“You’re big?” He asks, moving his hand onto Steve’s knee instead
Steve nods and a soft ‘mhmm’
“Are you sure? I was really missing my baby tonight” Eddie pouts. Steves eyes widen slightly before he looks away
“Not here” he shakes his head “big Steve. Not little”
Eddie shuffles closer and pokes at steves tummy,“But I reaaalyyy missed my steviebaby” he leans his head onto steves knee. “Can’t I get my baby?”
Steve hums to himself, more of a grumble “No cause he’s not here” he shakes his head
Eddie huffs before his eyes fall onto benny “Well I guess benny will have to do, I’ll just tell benny he’s been a good boy and give him a little star, I mean the little pup has had such a long day I bet he wants some cuddles”
Steve worries at his lip, eyebrows raising with his frown. Eddie hears a quiet whine
“Yep, cmon steve we gotta give bennyboy a sticker”
Steve nods wordlessly as Eddie picks up benny (gently holds him to his chest) Steve crosses his own arms and follows Eddie to their room. He watches Eddie pull out the star sticker pack and grab a little blue star
“You wanna give it to him?” Eddie asks softly
“No! You can do it” steve huffs and plops onto the bed both his arms and legs crossed. Eddie frowns, feels close but not quite.
“Okay then, here we go benny. For being such a good boy- oh you wanna tell me about your day?”
Steve turns away from Eddie, clearly grumpy
“Ah, you had a bad day? And you feel sad and grumpy? Oh benny it’s okay- thank you for telling me. Good boy for letting me know” Eddie pats at the stuffed animals head, looking towards Steve. He sees how scrunched up Steve’s should let’s are. “Baby?” He says gently “You wanna talk me whats wrong? Why you were crying honey?”
Steve mumbles softly, back still towards Eddie
“Babylove I can’t hear you” he places a hand gently onto Steve’s back
“I want a star!” Steve turns to him “I want a star cause-cause” he takes a shakey deep breath “a’cause I had a long day an-an Im upset an work was bad, an people were so mean teddy! An’ I did the milk and didn’t spill! I ate cereal an i put the bowl in the sink like you saids to! And I was good. I wanna be good too”
Eddie’s eyebrows are raised as Steve rambles, he pulls Steve into his chest and holds him close “Oh my baby” he pets at steves hair as the boy sniffles into his chest “You had such a hard day didn’t you? And you did it all alone” he rubs down Steve’s back
Steve nods and wraps his arms around Eddie
“Did alone, robbie went home and I kept workin” he mumbles
“You kept working? You had a double?” Eddie pulls back, Steve whines at the movement
“Hadda” he nods
“Oh Stevie” Eddie places a kiss onto his forehead “And you came home and took care of yourself didn’t you baby? You were a big boy for me and did all that?”
Steve flushes and nods “cn’I get star?” It’s raspy and it makes Eddie’s heart ache
“Baby you can get all the stars you want, I’m so proud of you baby boy, you did so good” he cups Steve’s cheeks and wipes away stray tears “My good boy, thank you for telling me honey- why didn’t you want to tell me before? Were you little at work? How long have you been small”
Steve giggles into his chest then sniffles
“Too many questions teddy” he tilts his head up and rubs at his eyes
Eddie smiles
“Sorry lovely, I’m just worried. But maybe we can talk about it tomorrow yeah? We can cuddle and get some sleep and sleep in and have a little day for you tomorrow okay?”
Eddie watches as the tips of Steve’s ears flush red
“Mm do you wanna? We can be big an I can drive to Uhm” Steve blinks up at him “the the movies? Can have a date?”
Eddie smiles down at him
“Baby, you had a bad day, you gotta rest and recharge. I don’t think you planning a date would be a good idea right now”
Steve pouts up at him “I can be big” he grumbles
“I know you can sweetthing but it’s okay to not be big- you know that”
“But-mmph” steve hides into Eddie’s chest
“But what Stevie?” Eddie pets Steve’s hair again, combs his finger through
“feel bad you take care a’me all the time” he shrugs “should be big an take care of you. Take care of everyone”
Eddie rubs down his back and hugs him close
“Baby, the first talk we had about this stuff was because you were taking care of people too much. You gotta let me take care of you yeah? If not who’s gonna do it Hm? Benny? That puppy is cute but I don’t think he can watch over my baby too much”
Steve looks up at him and gasps
“He can! Benny is good!” Steve turns to look for the stuffed animal, eddie grabs and hands him to Steve
Steve smiles and nuzzles into the soft fur
“But I want to take care of you too okay? I like taking care of my baby. Makes me feel good remember? I like helping you. Whats a king without his knight yeah?” Eddie rubs their noses together, Steve giggles
“You’re king” steve cups at Eddie’s cheek and rubs their noses together again
“Nah baby you are, in a good way. Or you wanna be my little prince?”
Steve giggles, he wraps his arms around Eddie’s shoulders making both of them fall sideways onto the bed
“I can be little Prince” He nods. “s new I like that one”
Eddie brushes away strand of hair fallen over Steve’s face
“Noted little Prince” he pulls the covers over both of them with some difficulty “Does the little Prince wanna sleep now?” Eddie pulls him close into his side
Steve hums “Kisses” he wraps an arm around Eddie’s stomach
“Gnight kisses for benny” Eddie places a kiss onto the stuffed animals head “And Gnight kisses for my baby” he places a kiss on each cheek then his forehead
“Gnight kisses for teddy” steve mumbles, bringing benny up and tapping Eddie’s cheek
“an Gnight kisses for teddy”
Eddie’s heart melts as Steve places a kiss on his cheek before settling back down
“My sweet boy” he mumbles closing his eyes
They finally drift to sleep around 2am. Holding each other close, Steve nuzzles into eddie even in his sleep
Eddie tightens his grip each time
and If Steve wakes up just as small, less fussy and more smiles
Eddie doesn’t mind it one bit

Not On Valentine's Day
╰→ Steddie AgeRe fanfic
[Word count: 1748] holy crap, that's a big boi!
.・。゚×゚☆゚.*・。゚×゚。・*.゚.✧.゚.*・。゚×゚。・*.゚☆゚×゚。・.
Character info:
Steve - Age Regressor (lil age 3-ish)
Eddie  - caregiver ("Poppa")
Plot:
Steve deals with immense pressure, caused by him planning a elaborate Valentine's Date for Eddie, while desperately trying not to slip into little space.
Tw! Angst, Hurt & comfort, mention of: impure regression, mental health, self loathing, anxiety & intimacy.
╰→ It's all kept SFW!!
! Age Regression is not a k*nk !
.・。゚×゚☆゚.*・。゚×゚。・*.゚.✧.゚.*・。゚×゚。・*.゚☆゚×゚。・.
Steve felt like he was going to burst under all this pressure, it was to much. He planned and prepared a romantic valentine's date...
Well, he wasn't quite done yet, even though it was already Feburary 14th.
It was still in the early hours of the morning, but nonetheless, his anxiety was through the roof. He barely got any sleep and he still had so much to do. Steve whished he could just curl up infront of the TV, in his PJs, eating fruit loops and- 
Oh, no..
He could feel himself beginning to slip.
No, he can't have that, not today, darnit..
"Get it together, Harrington.." he mumbled to himself, slightly slapping his own cheek, as a means to stay aware, stay alert, stay big.
He wanted this day to be perfect.
He wanted tonight to be a romantic and.. hecc.. intimate experience with Eddie. Not whatever his stupid, effed up brain wanted to make out of it.
He won't- no.. He can't let himself ruin this for Eddie, not again..
Why did he always have to make everything about himself? Eddie deserved better. He deserved a nice, romantic date, in which he would be the center of attention. And Steve was going to make that happen, today.
He pushed aside the self-destructive thoughts and his urge to regress, focusing soely on making this work. On making this day perfect, for Eddie.
So, he continued with the preparations to make this happen.
He went all out, exhausting himself more and more in the process.
The whole ordeal also took him way longer than anticipated, since he continually had to fight slipping.
While cleaning the house, he constantly got distracted by finding toys or other 'little stuff'.
Whilst cooking a fancy three course meal, he found it frustratingly hard to read and understand the recipe, resulting in him having to start over two times.
He had to calm himself down and remind himself that monsters aren't real, before being able to enter the cellar, so he could pick out one of the most expensive whines from his parents collection.
Upon selecting some romantic movies, he had to resist just throwing in- and watching a cartoon.
He had to give up on the idea of building a blanket fort, while making the bed.
When he took a shower, he denied himself using his 'spiderman shampoo', though he really wanted to.
And as he picked his clothes, Steve had to go with something elegant, instead of his cozy footed PJ's he so desperately wanted to snuggle up in.
Hopelessly klinging on to his big headspace, Steve had to remind himself to stay focused on the mission, constantly.
In the evening, he was finally done, right before Eddie arrived.
He embraced his boyfriend with a hug and excitedly explained his plans for the day.
Steve could still feel his brain being fuzzy, though he eagerly tried to hide it.
Eddie could tell that something was bothering Steve, he avoided eye contact and seemed to be restless. Always jumping up 'to get-' or 'because he forgot something'. 
So, he asked his boyfriend if everything was alright.
Steve just shrugged him off, stating: "Oh, yeah. It's- I'm just a little tired, that's all. And so excited for today, really."
Eddie knew he was lying, or at least not telling the whole truth, but he didn't want to push it, so he just accepted Steve's explanation and moved on from the topic.
The date was going great.
Their food was delicious and they've snuggled up infront of the TV, watching some cheesey romance movies. They liked judging- and making fun of the stupid decisions characters tend to make.
Under the blanked, Eddie started gently caressing Steve's thigh. As he was just about to lean in for a passionate kiss, he stopped right in his tracks, when he saw Steve's face. A look of unease, or even fear, in his glazed eyes.
Eddie knew that look. He knew it too well.. This was the look of a- no, of his deeply afflicted darling boy.
Immediately, he lifted his hand from the boys leg, ever so gently placing it on his cheek instead.
He rubbed his thumb against the soft skin lovingly & with such vigilance, as to not scare Steve further.
"Oh, oh baby, I'm so sorry." Eddie said, his voice shaking from guilt and hurt, for almost harming his little one.
He felt like punching himself in the face. How didn't he catch that sooner?!
He almost kissed his little one passionately, hasn't he looked up in time. What kind of awful Caregiver would he be if..
Eddie could feel his stomach turn at the thought of that.
"I'm so sorry." He repeated.
Steve was perplexed, at first.
He didn't notice how far he had already slipped, cuddled up on the couch like that.
He wasn't fully regressed yet, still capable of thinking  somewhat adult-ish. But it was definitely noticable that he wasn't fully there.
Nonetheless, he wanted to play it off, he's come so far, he won't let himself ruin this for Eddie.
"N- no, it's okay.. look." Steve tried to sound as convincing as possible, leaning in for a kiss, desperately pushing away the feeling of unease and disgust. Attempting to assure, not just Eddie, but himself aswell.
'Eddie is my boyfriend, darn it.. Why do I have to be so weird about this.. He's not disgusting..I should just kis-'
Eddie stopped his thoughts and advances, backing away, while gently holding Steve at arms length by his shoulders.
"Whoa there, Kiddo.. What are you- That's not appropriate!" He exclaimed.
Eddie was mortified.
Something was clearly affecting his little one in a very negative way and he had to know what it was. He had to know how he could help him.
Steve, meanwhile, grew frustrated.
"What do you mean 'not appropriate'? You're my boyfriend and boyfriends kiss." He snapped at the bewildered man in front of him.
Eddie remained calm.
"Yes, I am your boyfriend, when you are big-Steve. When you are little-Steve, I am your Poppa. And right now you are not big, Buddy." He explained, his voice assertive but tender.
Tears formed in Steve's eyes, prompting Eddie to pull him into a warm hug, kissing the top of his head. "It's okay, Darling. I've got you. You can talk to me." He reassured his little one.
Steve began sobbing, slipping further into his regression.
He started apologizing. "I'm s- so sor-ry. I ruined valentine days. I aways ruin tings an I'm aways se- selfish.. sorry.. sorry."
He was unbelievably upset with his actions and ashamed for again making everything about himself..
At least that's how he viewed the situation.
Eddie tightened the hug.
"Don't say that. You didn't ruin anything, nor are you selfish in any way.-"
His attempt to comfort Steve was interposed by the latter, who was vehemently fighting his regression once again.
"Yes, I did an- and yes, I am.. I always do this.. I- it's always just.. me. Me. ME.. This was sup- supposed to be y- you day. So.. so I tried to.. just.. s- suck it up.. and.. and.."
Steve was visibility shaking, when Eddie interrupted his rambling.
".. and just kiss me? Disregarding your own emotions? Ignoring how you felt unsafe and uncomfortable?"
Tears where forming in his eyes now aswell, at the thought of his Darling having to deal with such harmful thoughts, all on his own. Eddie's body also began to tramle too.
Steve looked up at him, having fully slipped now. Besides, he was to exhausted to fight it any longer anyways.
*¹ "Is sowwy. I kno it bad foa meh. I jus' wan u to be happeh. sowwy, Poppa."
He sniffled into his caregivers chest.
Eddie pulled him even closer.
"Steve, Darling.. I love you." He could feel hot tears running down his cheeks.
"Wether you're big or small. I'm more than excited to spend valentine's day with you." The boy in his arms looked up at him, wiping away a tear from his caregivers face, before letting him continue.
"I don't care if we eat fancy cuisine or dino nuggets. I don't care if we watch a romantic movie or cartoons. I don't care if we get intimate or just cuddle." He paused again, to kiss Steve's forehead.
"I am happy, as long as I am with you. So.." Eddie tightened his hug, pulling his Darling closer once more.
"..just let me be with you, whichever you it may be. Please stop trying to hide yourself, to try and accomodate me."
He loosened the hug, to gently grab Steve's face with both hands, lovingly looking into his eyes. "I love you, Steve. I love each and every part of you and that'll never change, ever."
Eddie was full on crying now.
Both of them embraced in a tight hug again, weeping into each others sweaters.
They stayed like that for a little while.
As the sniffling and sobs slowly subsided, Eddie could hear a soft whisper. So quiet, he couldn't make out what was said.
"Sorry, Stevie. I didn't quite catch that. What did you say? Could you repeat it for me, Darling?" Eddie asked softly, rubbing his little one's back.
"Pwomise?" Steve repeated, intently staring at his carer's hoodie strings, with which he was fiddling.
Eddie immediately understood what he was referring to.
"Promise. I'll always love you as you are, Sweetheart." He promptly answered and placed a kiss on Steve's forehead.
*² "Wuv yuh too, foreva.. pomise." The boy replied, now sleepily chewing on the strings of Eddie's hoodie, his eyes half closed.
He was exhausted..
Exhausted from all the planning and preparing.
Exhausted from trying to fight slipping all day.
Exhausted from crying so much.
Exhausted from having to deal with all those big feelings for so long.
After sitting there, cuddling for a while, Eddie got up. He turned on some soft music on his speakers, before carrying his Darling Boy to bed.
Kissing his forehead again, he whispered: "Happy Valentines day, Stevie." into the little one's hair, before closing his eyes aswell.
Steve knew he was safe now. In Eddie's arms, he was home.
His strength was barely enough to give a dazed "mhmm" in response.
Eddie was content with that answer. With Steve in his arms, he was home.
They layed like that, tangled up in each other's arms, snuggling, until they fell into a deep and much needed slumber.

Part two to m age regressor steve an cg eddie!! Got lots o comfort goin on in here n Steve bein cuuuute
Thank you so much to my wonderful editor! @electricblue-scoobydoo who did an amazing job polishing this fic!!! <3
Tw: crying/emotional breakdown
part one part three
Tumblr media
The two of them made it to the front of Steve's house where Eddie tried the doorknob unsuccessfully. Steve started forward for a minute before reaching down to his shorts pockets and pulling out a keyring with about a hundred keys on it. Eddie raised an eyebrow but otherwise stayed silent as he watched his friend unlock the house. 
Inside Eddie was met with a spotless, upper class suburban home. If not for the obvious signs of Steve wandering about the downstairs foyer and into the spacious kitchen. Hair products sat unpacked in a plastic bag at the bottom of the steps, three separate bats with varying degrees of diy monster proofing were leaned against the counter and Eddie counted six mismatched flip flops. Six.
Steve made a sharp turn to flop onto his fancy couch with no care to host Eddie at all, Eddie honestly didn't mind. He suspected Steve wasn't in the headspace to do much more than point at stuff he wanted and nap. Though Eddie was also keen on figuring out what triggered this sorta decline in behavior. It was so very out of character for Steve and left the other young adults grasping for an explanation. Sure, he had a slight idea on what might be going on but he had no idea how to help steve. Eddie looked at Steve, his long legs tucked up under his chest and his face turned to the side, cradled in his arms. He looked like a toddler who passed out on the floor, he sort of was acting like one too. Eddie smiled down at his shoes and moved to make his way to Steve's kitchen in search of some water. 
He felt a weird protective tug towards his friend, one he hadn't really expected to ever feel for another adult. He liked Steve an awful lot but this felt different from just liking Steve, he wanted to wrap Steve up and carry him around (a feat he definitely didn't think he could do), he imagined tucking Steve in and playing him soft music. He pictured taking care of steve.
Putting his newfound feelings away Eddie turned back towards the living room, a large cup of iced water dripping precariously in his grasp. He found Steve had slumped over onto his side and opened his eyes staring blankly forward at the tv. Eddie looked at it contemplating putting something on before shutting the idea away for now, who knows what a guy like Steve watches.
“Hey stevie'' eddie crouched down in front of steves line of vision, “drink” steve looked at the cup then back at eddie who in turn pushed the water closer to his face, “drink please” that got steve to finally sit up and reach out for the water, he was pretty clumsy though and managed to spill a good amount onto the carpet below. Eddie let out a startled laugh and reached forward to steady the cup in Steve's grasp. 
Soon enough half the water was drained into Steve's mouth (and down his shirt) and Steve, satisfied with himself, plopped back down on his side. Eddie raised an eyebrow at the mess, Steve Syre was acting like a child, the usual Steve would throw a fit and change on the spot. Eddie moved the glass to the table and tried to think of a way to get answers out of steve. He felt it over his head while also coming to the conclusion that Stevie probably  had even less of a clue. 
“Where's your room?” Steve shook his head and buried his nose into the fabric of the sofa, Eddie rolled his eyes, “you're all wet, we gotta get you some new clothes please” there was a moment of hesitation and Eddie felt confused more than frustrated or even amused at this point.
“Steve, what's going on?” Steve sniffled into the couch and shrugged, “you don't know?” he nodded his head and placed his arms up over his mused hair. Eddie sighed and dropped down onto his bum, fully sitting besides Steve now.
Steve’s shoulders shook a bit as he sniffled again and Eddie realized he had started crying. Eddie panicked and lifted his hands up to hover over Steve's shoulders. He hadn't seen the boy cry like ever and though he was adjusting to seeing him vulnerable this was a whole new level of openness. A raw sob tore itself out of Steve's mouth and Eddie let his hands fall onto the others shirt not knowing what else he could do. Steve jumped at the contact and flung himself up to be sitting. 
“Steve,” Eddie leaned back and pulled his arms to his lap, “Steve what's wrong?” Steve gasped and shook his head rapidly, chest heaving and face bright red. Just as Eddie opened his mouth to ask another question, Steve opened his arms up in the universal sign of ‘hug’, he sniffled harshly and grabbed at the air between them.
“Ebbie!” he cried out pitifully, “help” eddie dove forward and wrapped his friend in his arms. Steve grabbed onto Eddie's shirt tightly and continued to sob into his neck and shoulder, rubbing his face and subsequently his snot into the fabric of Eddie's shirt. Eddie found it hard to even remotely take notice of the grossness, instead preoccupied with whispering reassurance into the space above Steve's head and running his fingers through his hair. 
Steve leaned over dangerously on the couch to properly hide himself away in Eddie's chest. Eddie pulled him forward until he toppled over off the sofa and landed in Eddie's lap, bug bitten legs immediately tucking themselves away between Eddie's jeans. Eddie rocked the both of them back and forth letting Steve ride out this wave of emotion. 
After however many minutes of gentle swaying Steve settled down and leaned back out of Eddie's neck, their eyes met and Eddie's heart clenched at the sight. Steve's eyes were puffy and irritated, tear tracks running violent streaks down his blotchy cheeks, he did in fact have some snot running from his nose though Eddie was not easily grossed out. Steve took in a shaky breath and slumped back a bit.
“Lets go get cleaned up?” Eddie offered, barely above a whisper. Steve nodded and scooted back off his lap. Eddie heaved himself up then pulled Steve along by his forearms. Steve slowly led the way up the stairs and down a very large hallway to a door with probably the most padlocks on any door eddie had ever seen. he had been in some sketchy places before but this rivaled all other, steve was maybe a bit more paranoid than the rest of their group had been aware of.
Thankfully Steve seemed to have left his room open so Eddie didn't even have to consider navigating that whole ordeal with a very sensitive boy in his arms. Steve's bedroom looked much cleaner than eddies but not at all as clean as Eddie had expected it to be. Pajamas were thrown about the bed, clothes spilling from a dresser and closet. He had what Eddie supposed was the manliest version of a vanity he could get (a plain desk with a wide mirror propped up on its top) alongside a normal desk covered in cassettes and vhs tapes. Of course a guy who worked at the video store had all the best movies for himself. 
Steve moved to the bed and pulled Eddie along weakly. Eddie let it happen, too distracted by taking in Steve harringtons bedroom (and weird patterned wallpaper). Eddie jolted back to himself when he remembered the original purpose of going upstairs. He stopped walking and lightly tugged Steve to face him.
“Stevie boy could you please change into something clean?” Eddie smiled gently at Steve who pondered the question for a moment before turning to his closet and digging into the contents, “grab me a shirt please too?” Eddie called out before turning to look at the bed.
The bed was stripped? Pillows and some mismatched sheets and blankets thrown on the end but otherwise it was completely stripped naked. Eddie moved forward to start putting the bedding in order while he listened to Steve continue to bump about behind him. Just as he finished the fitted sheet he began to get suspicious at how long it was taking Steve to get changed. Eddie turned around and was met with the sight of Steve Harringon with a backwards Abba t-shirt and his head stuck in an arm hole. Eddie laughed and walked forwards to fix him up.
“How did you manage that?” he huffed as he pulled the shirt over the right way this time, Steve stared at his face blankly. His eyes drooped and face was still pretty red. Eddie sighed and scooped up a new shirt for himself. 
“Okay go get in bed, we’ll talk when you wake up” Steve held his arms up wordlessly, Eddie laughed and pulled the other to stand. Steve walked back to his bed, still holding Eddie's hand. And flopped down on his face into the new sheets. Eddie hovered over the edge of the bed watching as Steve got himself settled.
“Alrighty well uh i'll just go hangout- oh wait” eddie looked back at the door minutely before turning back to steve, “when are your parents coming home?” Steve pointed at a calendar hung over his desk and Eddie wandered over. He turned back to st4ve surprised. 
“That's like…” he counted over the dates, “two weeks? They've been gone the entire month already?” Eddie looked at the lump that was Steve but received no answer, he wasn't really sure what he was expecting anyways. The knowledge that Steve's parents had been gone that long already did explain why the downstairs seemed untouched by anyone but steve. Surely he wouldmt leave his weird weapons out for his mom to stumble upon.
“Right well then I'll go wait on the couch and you will have a good nap” Steve didn't answer again but he did turn on his side to watch Eddie. Eddie smiled and walked to the bed to pull the covers up around his friend's shoulders. Steve yawned and closed his eyes so Eddie lingered around his bedside just to be sure he was safe. After a few silent moments he slipped out of the room, leaving the door cracked, and wandered back towards the living room.

Regressor Steve Harrington Moodboard and Headcannons
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He regresses to 5 or 6 not as young as the others but he doesn’t mind being a big sibling to the other kids!
He’s the type of kid who Carries around a baby doll and acts like it’s real.
Loves loves LOVES hanging out with the younger regressors like Jonny and Eddie. He loves helping them with things.
Has every single cabbage patch kid accessory! But he only has one baby , he doesn’t want his baby to feel replaced. :(
Makes fake food for all his friends can’t make any for Eddie or will because they won’t get that it’s pretend and will actually eat it.
Him and Robin are still best friends but Steve strictly prohibits her trouble making.
Even when Steve regresses he’s overprotective of all his friends. His parental type personality doesn’t go away when regressed but he doesn’t have any power over any of the kids.
If he’s doing something his baby doll can’t be around for he will have one of his friends he trusts (mostly Nancy) watch his baby.
Baby’s name is Charlie btw
Loves shera! It’s his favorite show when he’s regressed! He really likes Disney movies to.
He has a shera play set it’s his most favorite thing! ( second to his baby Charlie ofc)
Every weekend he and the rest of the party get together and regress with a movie! It’s their favorite part of the week.
Steve makes them all microwave meals so they can eat together.
He plays with all his friends. He tries to find games that can involve all his friends regardless of their age.
He has matching friendship bracelets with all of the party that he made! He included everyone’s favorite color to!
Doesn’t really like juice that much. He prefers water more than anything.
Likes doing more “girly things” as his parents would call it. He fake cooks, he has those play cleaning supplies and he adores dolls.
He would sacrifice his favorite shera toy to sit in on a hellfire session while regressed. He loves how Eddie DMS his campaigns with how animated he gets. Of course Eddie and the rest of the club would allow him to sit and watch their campaigns in a heartbeat but he’s too shy to ask.
He feels uncomfortable with the idea of having a caregiver. In fact he feels like he doesn’t need one, he adores looking after Eddie when he’s regressed but never likes having someone look after him. It’s not like anyone hasn’t cared for him before, Eddie has watched Steve when Steve was regressed but Steve didn’t really like it.
He likes to make fake dinners for his baby doll and him ( a single mom who works to jobs who loves her kids and never stops)
The only person who’s allowed to do puzzles with Nancy.
Dinosaur nugget KING!! Will not touch normal chicken nuggets.
He doesn’t touch the stove or oven when regressed, he meal preps for when he’s going to regress.

okay so if I started writing agere fics what characters would you want me to write for first? (disclaimer I will only be able to write as reader being a cg because I don’t regress and wouldn’t feel comfortable writing as a little because I don’t know what it’s like from that perspective)

Eddie thought inviting Steve to the Grammys would be fine, cool, no big deal. And it should be, but Steve is walking out of the suite's bedroom wearing a burgundy tuxedo that fits him like a fucking glove. His shirt is unbuttoned just enough to let chest hair peak out, and Eddie thinks he might faint.
He's always been attracted to Steve, of course, but never let it go further than that. Like, sure, Steve was hot as fuck, and sure he was the best guy Eddie had ever met, and sometimes, yeah, he did have to force away thoughts of Steve when he jerked off, and in other circumstances he'd totally be head over heels. Just, Steve is straight, the straightest, a fucking arrow.
Eddie tears his eyes from Steve's body. "You look great, man." He slaps Steve's back. Keeping it cool; keeping it so cool.
"Psh," Steve says. "Have you looked in a mirror? Oh my god." His eyes are saucer wide as they travel down Eddie's body.
"Is it too much?" Eddie crosses his arms over his bare chest.
"Are you kidding? You're--fuck, man. You look good as hell."
He's wearing a silky burgundy shirt, open to show off the necklaces around his throat, his tattoos, the silver in his nipples. His pants are leather, tight, sitting low on his hips and putting the cut of his pelvic bone on full display. They have a lace-up closure that comes dangerously close to showing pube.
Heat rushes to his face at the compliment. "It's--you know. Hazard of the job."
"Yeah, hazard, sure. Guess it's a hard life having hot dudes literally throwing themselves at you."
Eddie barks out a laugh. "That's a vast exaggeration."
"Is it?"
He blushes harder. "You're my date tonight, Steve."
"My point exactly."
His manager and publicist usher them out the door before he can ask what the hell that meant.
---
The ride is giddy and playful, Steve popping champagne to celebrate Eddie's nomination for Song of the Year, even though there's no chance in hell he wins.
Steve is happy. His face is bright with joy, eyes shining, laugh loud and infectious. He's gorgeous, knows it, will be an absolute menace on the red carpet. He's been with Eddie to parties and stuff before, doesn't have any anxiety in front of the camera and isn't obsessed with musicians like Eddie is, unafraid to meet them.
Or so Eddie thought.
Because now they're standing at the edge of the red carpet, Steve very nearly trembling next to him.
"Harrington?"
"That's--That's Madonna." Steve points to her. "We're not even ten feet away from Madonna." He gulps. "Eddie. Madonna."
Steve has met famous people before with Eddie. Ozzy, briefly, Janet Jackson, Dave Grohl, James Hetfield, and he'd always been fine. Barely batted an eye. But get him within reaching distance of Madonna and he falls apart.
Eddie doesn't think about it, grabs Steve's hand, twines their fingers together. "Okay?"
The smile Steve throws him, grateful and a little embarrassed, stabs straight through his heart. He calms as they make it up the carpet, but he doesn't drop Eddie's hand, even when they pause for pictures. In fact, he leans into it, drapes his arm around Eddie's shoulders, or around his waist, seeming to thrive the closer they are. Eddie feels this dangerous pull to indulge in it, to let himself believe it means something, and he doesn't quite have it in him to turn it off.
By the time they reach their seats, Steve is relaxed back to his normal charming and handsome self, doesn't bat an eye as Eddie introduces him around.
The show passes quickly with all the performances and Steve whispering jokes in his ear. It's the best time he's ever had at an award show, like he should have been bringing Steve along this whole time. He's so distracted that he's not really ready when Paula Abdul comes out to announce Song of the Year.
His name is read off as a nominee and Steve grabs his hand, squeezes tight. Eddie's heart flips in his chest. He's not paying attention when Paula opens the envelope, too focused on Steve's strong hand holding his. He hears her say, "And the Grammy goes to--" and everything goes fuzzy.
Steve is saying, "oh my god, oh my god, Eddie. Get up, get up."
And his fucking song is playing and everyone is cheering, a couple people slap his back, and oh shit, oh shit, he fucking won. He stands, Steve with him. He thinks they're going to hug, that's what you do in these situations, but Steve is kissing him. Not on the cheek and not a quick peck, but lip-to-lip, soft and sweet.
Steve just kissed him and he has to get on stage and give a speech. He has no idea what he says because Steve just kissed him. On the lips. On purpose. His ears are ringing and words tumble out of his mouth, thinks he says, "couldn't have done it without you, Stevie," before tripping over his feet to get backstage.
Interviews, photographs, congratulations all help him settle. He's still buzzing with the win, but aware enough now to think the kiss had to be an accident. They've been friends for nearly a decade and Steve never seemed interested in men generally or Eddie specifically.
It takes a while to finish up the backstage business, but when he makes it to his seat, Steve just beams at him. He doesn't mention the kiss, which makes Eddie think he's overreacting. It wasn't a big deal. Sure, he could still feel Steve's lips, warm and soft, against his own, but it didn't mean anything. He's just too in his big gay feelings to be objective.
They don't get a chance to really talk until they're back in the limo and on their way to the after-party.
"You won," Steve says.
"I won." Eddie smiles. "Crazy."
"You deserved it."
He shrugs. "I don't know about that."
"Doesn't matter. You did." Steve fidgets with the cuff of his jacket. "About earlier, um. The kiss. I--"
Eddie feels his face heating, heart kicking up. It was nothing, he knows, and Steve shouldn't have to-- "It was an accident. It's okay. I know you don't--it was the heat of the moment and--I know you're not--you don't--"
Steve blinks a lot, emotions flashing across his face faster than Eddie can categorize.
"What if I do?" Steve asks. His voice is too soft, eyes locked on the cuff link he's fiddling with.
"You--what?"
"What if I did mean it?"
"You're straight."
Steve goes pink. "I'm really not."
"Steve?" He shrieks. "Since when?"
"Um. Since you invited me to this?"
"What the fuck?" Eddie shoves him. "What the fuck, man?"
"I know, I know!" Steve pulls his hand through his hair. "You invited me and I freaked out and I didn't know why, and Robin made the saddest little face at me. Said, 'oh, dingus, you didn't know?' How the fuck was I supposed to know!"
"I think you wanting to fuck me should've been a pretty good indication!"
"I thought that happened to everyone!"
"It doesn't!"
"That's what Robin said!"
They're both yelling.
"Jesus christ. Jesus christ," Eddie keeps repeating.
"Look, I get it if you don't want me too, dude. I know that's not how it works, but I've been pretty crazy about you without realizing it for a while now, so--"
He doesn't mean to, he really doesn't, but he laughs. Like, super loud. Like a donkey bray.
"Okay, can the driver let me out? Like, can I go? I can't--"
"Wait, wait, sweetheart." Steve's gotten up, like he's about to knock on the partition, but Eddie grabs his wrist. "Of course I want you back, you idiot, oh my god."
"Oh." Steve's ears are pink. "Oh. Well. That's good."
Eddie huffs. "Just good? I won a Grammy and the guy I've been pining over for years wants me back. I'm having the night of my life."
"Shut-up." Steve's smile is so big, his eyes so bright.
He raises an eyebrow. "Make me," he says in his lowest register, but he's truly not prepared for it when Steve clambers over to him and lowers himself to straddle Eddie's hips.
"Holy shit," Eddie whispers. "Holy shit, Steve."
He give a wry little smile, eyes locked on Eddie's mouth. "Baby, can I kiss you?"
"Yes." Eddie clears his throat. "Yes, please, do that. Yeah."
Only, he doesn't. He's straddling Eddie, they're so close their breath mingles, and Steve's eyes flicker between Eddie's mouth and his eyes, lips so close to touching but not.
"C'mon, asshole," Eddie says.
"I knew you'd be a brat." He whispers. He wraps his hands into Eddie's hair. "Been dying to do this."
And then they're kissing. They're kissing and it steals all of Eddie's breath and his thoughts, and it's new but it's also like they've been kissing forever, like their lips and tongue know each other, like coming home.
He whines, high-pitched and breathy, and Steve laughs, kisses him deeper, moves closer, and Eddie feels how hard Steve is, the persistent pulse of him. And shit Eddie's close, on the brink just from this, from nothing, oh my god.
Steve's hands drift down Eddie's torso, mapping his chest and his stomach, coming to rest at the laces of his pants. "These have been driving me insane," Steve breaks the kiss to say. "Been thinking about undoing them all night."
"Fuck, sweetheart, you can't say shit like that," Eddie groans.
"Why not?"
"Because--because," Eddie sputters but then Steve's lips are on his neck and he's rolling his hips for friction.
Steve's fingers find the laces again, trace against them. Eddie's legs fall open, arching into the touch. "We're going to be so late," he murmurs as Steve's fingers get to work.

the thing about steve harrington is that he's one of the most compelling characters of all time. he starts the show an extremely popular jock and now he's got two friends: a girl he had a crush on that turned out to be a lesbian and a fourteen year old. the only fight he's ever won in his life was against a soviet spy. he keeps a bat full of nails in his car. he barely graduated high school. he beat up a racist. he's terrible at flirting. he has daddy issues. he spends an entire season wearing a little sailor outfit, hat included. and he's even bisexual

a little less conversation, a little more action, please
[rings bell frantically] CALLING ALL PPL WHO HAD BAD SEX EXPERIENCES!!! if that’s you, this is for u :D ! this has been in the drafts 4 months and i’m excited to set it free! enjoy! 8k words, fem!reader, oral (f receiving) MDNI THIS ENTIRE BLOG IS 18+
Tumblr media
You think you might be the only person your age in the whole of Hawkins who doesn’t seem to get the hype.
Couples have been caught all over in the act. At the drive-in cinema, in the back of the cinema, hell, even beneath the bleachers at school — tongues down each other's throats and pants around their ankles, so caught up in each other that they don’t care about consequences. That it’s that good, that it’s worth the risk. 
Sex. 
You just don’t get it.
Once upon a time, one boyfriend ago, before you’d ever experienced it, there had been an inkling of eagerness within you. Curiosity twined in with piqued interest, you wondered eagerly about when you’d find someone who’d show you all about why sex got its reputation. 
And then you had it— with Samuel Cosgrove in his twin bed when his parents were out of town, 3 weeks into dating him. Your expectations crumbled. 
You decided quickly that everyone must be lying if that was what you were supposed to be looking forward to. It wasn’t… sexy. You didn’t feel sexy having it either.
It only left you feeling somewhat awkward and a bit foolish, with Samuel trying to ruck your shirt up even though you had asked to keep it on. Embarrassment crept in easily at how you seemed to be half a step behind him the whole time, not quite warmed up, not quite sure if this was the mood, not quite ready to take all your clothes off. 
The springs on his bed were loud and squeaked with every shift of weight. The whole thing sort of hurt more than anything.
You chalked it up to the first time, dredging together your hopes even as they rapidly deflated inside you, cemented by Samuel’s sloppy kiss that missed your mouth and landed wetly on the corner of your lips when he finished. 
His sweat stuck to your skin and you didn’t feel sexy, or good, or relieved or anything else the dozen Cosmo magazines under your bed promised you would. 
Next time, you said to yourself. You had even confided in your close friend, admitting to the underwhelming experience, and asked quite plainly when it ‘got good’. 
“The first time always sucks!” She’d assured you, her voice a hushed whisper over the diner table.“Trust me, the first, like, three times totally suck.” 
You didn’t mean to but, subconsciously, three became the number to reach— get through the first three terrible times, and… all would be peachy in paradise. 
And so when the next time was… underwhelming, you weren’t exactly surprised. Worse, was how it wasn’t anything Samuel did but what he said that stuck with you long after he’d drifted off on your sheets. Lying in the cradle of your hips, Samuel had traced his hand up your legs and then frowned, yanking his hand back. You had startled, propping up quickly to ask him what it was. 
“You’re spiky,” he said, chuckling in a mean way. You could feel your chest ache pathetically at his words and you instinctively tried to curl your legs in, wanting to hide them away. So what if they were? It was the middle of winter and he’d surprised you, showing up at your window to sneak in. 
When the fourth time happened and disappointment weighed heavy on you again, you deduced the truth. Sex was some big scam- some stupid joke that everyone was in on and just pretending to enjoy. 
It was easier to blame sex if only so you didn’t blame yourself. But… it niggles in the back of your brain, a line-up of indisputable facts that all point to the same thing. That, maybe sex isn’t the problem — but you are. 
And, look, it’s not really a problem when you’re not dating or seeing anyone.
… Enter Steve Harrington.
Admittedly, Steve was not someone you thought you would ever date. Or maybe it was the other way around, that you thought that Steve would ever date you.
His reputation as a bit of a player was as far from something you were interested in, especially considering your feelings towards sex, but… he had sort of proven you wrong every chance possible.
One month of dates and it’s been no more than holding hands and kisses on cheeks. You’ve kissed him properly, of course, once or twice, but lest you give him the wrong idea, they hadn’t been much more than a quick kiss. Steve still seemed to glow afterward, no matter what. 
It made you feel good. Safe. Warmed you to know he was happy with whatever affection you felt ready to bestow, and never pushed for more. 
You could tell he wanted it. It was hidden in the flex of his fingers and even the not-so-subtle adjusting of his pants when he’d invited you over for a dip in his pool. You’d shown up in your bathing suit— and it was the most amount of skin Steve had ever seen from you and it did not go underappreciated. He had been touchy, hands skirting up your sides, but still respectful. 
And strangely enough, you find yourself… wanting it too. 
Wanting for his touch, thinking about letting your own hands wander across his skin to find what makes him sigh, makes him groan in pleasure, what might make him whine. It surprises you, the ferocity of your eagerness, how it presses your thighs together tightly and licks pure arousal up your spine — even when Steve’s not even trying. 
(He was, you just didn’t know it. Steve knows exactly when girls seem to be looking at his arms and he’s unashamed to say he will flex his muscles and pretend he hasn’t. Robin has caught him doing this several times.) 
And today has been nothing short of wonderful. 
A balmy Saturday which you found yourself swept up in Steve’s company over at his house, laziness fuelled by the golden sun rays of the day. 
You weren’t even doing anything in particular, just enjoying being near each other. You had stretched out on a pool lounger with a book in your hand for the most part and it was with giddy delight that Steve seemed more than chuffed to just lay beside you, sizzling in the sun and then occasionally cooling off in the pool. 
Which is a spectacle all in itself. 
The sight of his chest gives you one or two steamy ideas, especially as it drips with water when he pushes up on the edge of the pool. His biceps bulge deliciously as you peer over the edge of your book, not as subtlety as you might think. You honestly don’t even mind if he catches you staring, not when this is your view. 
Your eyes trace the sparkling drops of water as they roll down his chest tantalizingly slow, through the chest hair between his pecs, down, down, trailing down his happy trail— fuck, okay, he totally caught you staring. 
Your eyes dart back up to his face to find Steve’s already looking at you, his eyes holding a playful mirth to them. His smile looks just a little bit cheeky. Bastard. 
Water splatters on the tiles where he walks as he pads over to collect his towel bunched on the end of the lounger beside your own.
“Good book?” He asks sweetly.
He says it as he scrubs the towel over his face, drying it off and then starting on his hair— he gives it a quick rub over rapidly so that when he pulls the towel away, his hair is sticking up in every direction. He holds the towel to his chest and gives his head a quick shake, like a dog, shaking out the extra water.
When he looks up at you again, beginning to towel dry his bare chest, you realise you haven’t even attempted to answer his question. 
“Book.” You echo. Steve chuckles a little bit and it kickstarts your embarrassment, finally remembering to say something else. You hold the book up to gesture with it, “Yes! It’s good, it’s…” 
Steve’s resumed drying himself and you find your words leaving you as the towel drags down his tummy, leading your eyes with it. Your mouth feels suspiciously dry. Want. You want him.
“It’s…?” 
He’s teasing you again. You startle, wondering if he’s purposefully trying to put on a sensual towel-drying show for you. You’re surprised to find you’re actually glad that he is. 
It feels like another subtle way to affirm all his affections for you without all of the touchiness you’ve yet to reach with him — come and get me, it’s like he’s saying, if you want. 
You snap your book shut. “It’s too hot to be reading, I think.” 
Steve frowns in his worry and steps forward, closer to you. He presses the back of his hand to your forehead lightly. “You feelin’ too warm? Y’gotta careful being out here too long if you aren’t gonna swim.” 
He sounds on the concerned side but there’s a touch of cheek in his voice too, like he knows why you haven’t turned the page for the last 5 minutes. It stokes the firey feeling that’s beginning to burn in your gut. A smile curls at your lips and you huff a little laugh, leaning back and batting his hand away from your forehead. 
“Yes, mom.” You jest, hand falling back onto the lounger. You lean back onto it to get a better view of him. “I’m not too hot.” 
Steve grins. “Oh, I would say the opposite. You are, in fact,” He leans in closer, one hand coming up to push some hair behind your ear. His hand lingers, fingertips on the edge of your jaw. “Very hot.” 
You couldn’t stop your reaction if you tried— which you do try, some sputtering cough with a duck of your head as you feel your body flush hotly at his words. His forwardness is something you’re still getting used to.
Just as you’re about to stumble through a poorly constructed sentence, Steve saves you— reaching over to grab his rumpled t-shirt and pulling it over his head. A small, disappointed, part of you wilts. You catch yourself from being so obvious, scooping up your bookmark and stuffing it in a random page. 
Steve offers his hand out for you to take. “C’mon, we both need some water I think.” 
You ponder if there’s a second meaning to his words as you trail along beside him, letting him lead you back through the sliding glass doors that open to the kitchen with your intertwined hands. Steve gives your hand a quick squeeze before he drops it to open the fridge, peering inside. You lean back against the counter, arms folding loosely over your front and allow yourself to look at him. 
Your boyfriend. It sounds even a bit strange in your head and you know if you tried to say it aloud, it would get caught on the way out, tripping over your teeth. Calling him your boyfriend cements all those expectations you worry so much about… even though, not-so-secretly, you revel in the fact thats he’s your boyfriend. 
“Thinking hard over there, I can see,” Steve comments teasingly and you blink, realising he’s already looking at you. He must have asked you a question and you missed it. 
“What?” 
Steve laughs a bit, pink lips pulled into a slight smirk. He shakes the bottle in his hands a little bit, bringing your attention to it. “Did you want to try some of this? I think it’s sparkling and…” 
He trails off, pulling the bottle closer to his face to scan over the front of it. You can’t help but think the furrow in his brows as he reads is adorable. He hums, obviously not finding what he’s after, and flips the bottle over. 
“…raspberry flavour?” He finishes, looking up at you, brows raised. He gives a little shrug. “That sound nice?” 
You think about it for a moment and then shake your head. Steve laughs in agreement and places ii back in the fridge, some mumble about his mom leaving it here the last time she visited home. He turns back to the fridge still rummaging. “Okay, anything in particular you want?” 
You are thirsty but… your stomach swoops as you realise it’s for something else altogether. If you want it though, you’ll have to ask. 
“Maybe, a kiss?” 
Steve freezes for an instant, then he whips around like he’s not entirely sure he’s heard correctly. The fridge door clatters loudly and he quickly grabs it, stopping the rattling bottles and looking mighty flushed when he shoots you a grin. 
“A kiss?” He checks. He lets go of the fridge doors to scratch the back of his neck awkwardly, too aware of his own unsubtle eagerness. “I heard that right, didn’t I?” 
A nervous chuckle scrapes out your throat but you nod. You uncross your arms but can’t settle them, crossing them again nervously as Steve comes closer. His brown eyes scan your face intently, searching to make sure he’s getting every signal right. 
When you smile assuredly, Steve sighs in relief and his shoulders drop an inch. He smiles too, his hand reaching up to hold your faces cupping your cheek. His strokes across your cheekbone as he talks. “Oh, thank god. I was beginning to think, maybe, you just weren’t into kissing me.” 
Then he leans in— and you hold your breath without meaning to. 
The thing is, Steve is a good kisser. A very very good kisser and even your strange gaspy noise as you try to remember to breathe is not enough to ruin the kiss. His plush lips capture yours and have you feeling as hot as the day, a heat blooming in your chest and spreading like wildfire. Your fingers flex at your sides. 
You push up on your toes without even thinking, to steal more of his touch, and when Steve breaks the kiss, you’re embarrassed to find yourself chasing his lips. You clear your throat and avert your eyes, sinking back down— embarrassed at showing how much you’d melted under a single kiss. 
You just don’t realise how it looks to Steve. 
“You do… right?” 
Your head pops up, eyes widening as you try to comprehend his question. 
“Like… kissing you?” You ask meekly, more embarrassed that he’s asking for confirmation. Embarrassed that you’d somehow been overly eager and also convinced him of the opposite in one kiss. God, maybe there is something wrong with you. 
“Yeah.” Steve nods, pulling back a little further from you— like he needs physical space in case you say something absurd like ‘no.’ 
Your hands react faster than your mind, reaching to grab his shoulders to stop him from putting space between you. 
“Yes!” You say loudly. You try to rein in your embarrassment for his sake, swallowing your nerves which feel thick and swollen in your throat. “Yes, I like kissing you. It’s just, I’m… I’m worried.” 
How do you say this? How can you explain that you’ve been so afraid of your kisses going a few steps further because then- then when things get heated and Steve’s expecting things, you have to explain that — that what? 
That you’re not really sure if you even like sex, or maybe that it just doesn’t seem to work for you or — or that there’s probably just something wrong with you that means you can’t figure out how the hell to relax and enjoy sex- and that it’s not his fault but probably totally yours but— 
“Woah, woah, woah,” Steve cuts into your spiralling thoughts, having seen the dilemma spilled across your face. “Stop thinking what you’re thinking and just, like, take a breather.” 
He places his hand on his chest and mimes a deep inhale. You copy him without thinking, chest rising and falling in sync with his, unable to look at him for a moment. When you find the courage to dredge your eyes up to his face, his eyes are soft and his brows have knitted together in concern. 
“Good.” He praises, hand falling off his chest to rub gently at your arm. “Okay, now instead of doing all that worrying up there just… tell me what’s worrying you. Please?” 
Part of you want to huff and hide, to make him really pry so you know that he means it. It’s dramatic, you know — especially because he’s being so good at communicating. He’s asked outright. You try to put the words in the correct order. 
“Just… we haven’t— I haven’t kissed you a lot because I’m worried about what it might lead to.” You say quietly, eyes back to avoiding his gaze. You stare at his chest, the tuft of chest hair peeking out, and do your best to swallow the knot in your throat. 
“And I— I don’t want to disappoint you,” you admit, frustrated at how a familiar sting burns at the back of your eyes. “But I- just, in the times I’ve gone that far and— and slept with someone, I didn’t… I just didn’t like it. I didn’t enjoy it.” 
You squeeze your eyes shut tight, proclamation out in the open, and try to take a deep breath— just like Steve had instructed mere moments ago. Courage gathered, you open your eyes and peer up at him again. 
“Oh,” Steve breathes. You can nearly see the cogs turning in his head, his eyebrows twitching as he takes in what you’ve said and what it means for the two of you. “Oh, well that’s okay. I mean, if you didn’t want to I would never—“ 
“—That’s not the thing.” You interrupt. “I want to. I do. I just…” Your voice trails off, taking on a  trembling whisper as you say the thing you’ve yet to say aloud yet, for fear of speaking it into existence. You can’t quite look at him, eyes focused on the kitchen tiles instead. 
“I think it’s me. I think— I’m worried there’s something wrong with me.” 
Your words hang in the air for a moment and Steve feels his worry shift into something deeper, something closer to devastation, as he realises how deeply you believe what you’ve said. 
You genuinely think there is— even thinking it makes him want to scoff aloud. He forces himself to focus on consoling you here and now, instead of riling himself up with thoughts of whatever— whoever lead you to your immense self-doubt. 
“Well, there’s not,” Steve says plainly. Like there’s no room for discussion— his hand drifting down your arm to gather your hands in his own. They get swallowed, his hands huge when compared to your own. 
“There’s nothing wrong— you- you could never disappoint me in that way.” 
Your eyes lift from the ground to his face, desperate to see if you can see the truth in his words. He can tell- fuck, he can already read you so well. 
“Honest,” He insists, giving your hands a quick squeeze. “I promise you, okay? I- if I was disappointed over something like that it would be- that would be such a dick move.” 
“Well, you wouldn’t be the first.” You mutter bitterly. 
The words slip out without entirely meaning to; you aren’t trying to start a pity party but how are you supposed to explain why you think the way you do? How can you explain why you’re so worried about taking it further? Deep down, you know he deserves to know. 
Steve’s eyes widen for a moment, your words sinking in and cutting as they go. He doesn’t want to think about you sleeping with other people, for all the jealous reasons, but mainly because everything he’s learned today is that nobody has taken proper care of you. 
It twists his heart thinking of some fucking idiot not taking his time with you, not getting you comfortable— so that you get to this point, embarrassed, avoiding his eyes, and so entirely convinced that you’re the problem. 
“Look,” Steve says softly. His hands squeeze yours again and he tries to think of how best to say this. “If we never sleep together, I don’t care.” 
That catches your attention, your head jerking up to look at him — what? That has never even been an option with dating someone. Not in your mind, at least. You find yourself reeling, fumbling for words but Steve just keeps talking. 
“If you don’t wanna, I don’t wanna,” Steve shrugs, like that’s all there is to it.
“There’s nothing wrong if it’s not really your thing.” Another squeeze to your hands. You look up at him, aware you must look a picture of bewildered — there were a thousand ways you imagined this conversation going and this was not one of them. 
A smile pulls on his lips as he chuckles a bit, eyes falling to your conjoined hands. “Hell, for all we know I’d add to your disappointing experiences.” 
You laugh quietly but it’s saturated in fondness. He’s taking jabs at himself to make you feel better. 
“Hardly likely, considering the rumours I’ve heard about you,” You murmur lowly. You find it in yourself to squeeze his hands back, peering back up at him. Steve’s brows rise and he grins. 
“Oh? And just what rumours are we talking about?” He teases. 
“Shut up,” You say, no heat behind it in the slightest. Your chest is starting to feel lighter and lighter as the reality of his words sink in. “You know what they say about you.” 
Steve grins wider. “That I slept with Mrs. Click just to pass her class?” 
“What?” You wrinkle your nose at the horrid picture of your old English teacher with your boyfriend. “No! Did people really say that about you?” 
Steve’s grin fades, edging towards jaded. He gives a soft sigh, tilting his head back an inch. “People say everything and it all means nothing unless it’s coming from the right person.” 
He wriggles a hand free from your unaware tightening holding to brush his knuckles against your cheek tenderly. A piece of hair flops over his forehead, curling back upwards, and the buzz of cicadas fills the empty noise around you.
“So, I don’t know if some asshole told you or you just think that you’re wrong, but…” Steve inhales, his eyes darting between yours. 
The brown in them is intense, holding you fixed beneath his heavy gaze. “If— just you said you want to so, we can try and- and we can go slow and I’ll stop the moment you want to, okay? For whatever reason.” 
You feel a strange bubble of hope churn in your gut. It feels too good to be true. 
“…You’re sure?” 
“M’sure,” Steve nods. “Even for something as small as you don’t like the way my dick looks or—“ 
A laugh startles out of you and you shake your head. “I meant more about stopping but good to know anyways.” You pause a moment. “…Should I be worried?” 
You’re teasing. Steve delights in it, his own voice slipping that little bit lower— his knuckles on your cheek swiping across, down your jaw, til he lingers near your neck. 
“Why don’t you find out?” 
The hunger in your tummy returns with a new heat, rivalling the day. You suddenly feel nervous again, a roll of nerves turning over, but this time it feels far closer to anticipation. The kiss you’ve been yearning to give him, hot and messy, burns up inside you and when you rise on your toes, Steve meets you in the middle. 
Your lower back presses against the counter as Steve leans into you, his mouth slotted against yours. One kiss snowballs into another, and another, the fervency growing as you let yourself give into your desire. Your hands on his shoulders shift, trailing down to feel up the chest you’ve been gawking at all day.
Steve lets out a quiet grunt as your nails dig in and his other hand finds your waist, tugging you to press against his body — his other hand slides into your hair, clutching the strands loosely. You sigh into his mouth, nerves still alight beneath your skin but the way they buzz makes you feel good. Steve makes you feel good. 
Right as his hand scrapes along your lower back, heading lower, you’re both startled by the loud beep! that sounds in the kitchen. At the same time you peer around him, Steve turns and gives a sheepish chuckle, seeing the fridge door still ajar from when he’d been fishing around inside. 
He steps away from you, pushing the doors closed gently. Turning back, your chest swells with pride seeing the effect you’re already having on him; red lips, shiny with spit and a faint ruby colour in the apples of his cheeks. Steve smiles, boyish and charming. 
“Do you wanna keep—“ 
“—yes.”
You’re not going to squander this chance, not going to waste the days' chemistry when there’s still that tiny worry niggling in the back of your brain that today is all a fluke. That Steve’s words might just be an offer, something else that wouldn’t be a first for you. 
Steve grins. He holds out his hand and you intertwine yours with him, letting him lead you. Your stomach swoops as he takes you out the kitchen and heads for the stairs, checking back on you with a quick glimpse. You do your best to show him your excitement instead of your nerves. You’re not sure you succeed. 
Squeezing his hand does the trick for a final reassurance. Steve resumes leading you up the stairs, taking a familiar turn towards his bedroom, beginning to talk softly as he does. 
“Remember, anytime, anything you don’t like, just say the word.” 
You both pause, standing in his room and you swallow the doubts that try to claw back up your throat. Giving a sly glance at him, you smile coyly and wiggle your hand out from his. Trailing backwards to his bed, you pretend to think about it, til your thighs hit the edge of the bed. 
“Hmm… well,” You begin, a touch of sultriness dipping into your voice. “I don’t like… that you’re still wearing your shirt.” 
Before you, Steve huffs a silent laugh, that handsome smile gracing his lips as he ducks his head. He doesn’t disappoint though, his arms reaching up behind his head to shuck his shirt off in one fluid motion.
He chucks it aside thoughtlessly and where it lands doesn’t even matter — your eyes are fixed on his chest. His bare chest that you’ve been given permission to properly ogle at. You swear you feel your mouth salivate a bit. 
“Should've known this would go first, considering the way you were drooling outside,” Steve remarks cockily, folding his arms loosely. It makes his biceps bulge and you swallow again, this time nothing to do with nerves. 
“I wasn’t drooling,” You defend weakly, beginning to fidget with the hem of your own shirt. “I was admiring, okay? There’s a difference.” 
Steve saunters over slowly as you talk, steps slow and measured. He’s smirking by the time he’s before you, so close you can feel the heat of him. “Uh huh. Totally, sweetheart, I believe you. Need help with this?” 
His hand has reached out, fingers pinching the same hem you’re fiddling with. You nod slowly, “Yes, please.” 
Steve’s smirk fades into something sweeter and he grabs the hem with two hands, beginning to ruck it up gently, his eyes locked on yours — you raise your arms when it starts to get caught, holding your gaze to his until the fabric intersects. Your arms drop and you push away the urge to wrap them around your middle. 
Steve drops your shirt much more gently than his own but his eyes are still entirely on you. There’s a shine of awe in them now, flicking up at down the newly exposed skin. 
The intensity of his gaze makes you want to shy away but you chose bravery instead, reaching out to grab his side. Steve jumps, barely an inch, and before you even get a chance to question, he’s smiling. “Y’got cold hands, honey.” 
He draws them up to his mouth, laying soft kisses across your knuckles. Heat flushes through you and you melt beneath it, lowering yourself back on the bed. Steve follows eagerly, still kissing at your hands. He kneels between your legs and when he finally drops your hands from his, it’s to reach out and cup your jaw. 
“Keep breathing,” He murmurs quietly, eyes dancing in amusement. You hadn’t even realise you had been holding your breath. You realise it in one big exhale and this time, when you reach for him, you actually succeed in tugging him closer. You tumble backward into his sheets and Steve comes with you, his forearms planted on either side of you and his body pressed up against yours. 
“I don’t like…” You say, continuing the bit from earlier, your voice quiet and still tinged with a poorly hidden nervousness. “That you keep waiting to kiss me.” 
Steve’s brows hike up an inch but his smile hides his surprise easily, his entire face glowing a bit brighter. He looks fucking gorgeous bathed in the buttery sunlight, even though it’s just beginning to fade towards darkness behind the curtains. 
You stare unabashedly up at him, marvelling at his features that are etched in with adoration for you. You follow down the strong line of his nose, along the soft arches in his eyebrows, the faint wrinkles at the corners of his eyes that he has from smiling. 
You study the swell of his cupids bow perched above his pink lips and each of the moles dotted all over your favourite face— and think to yourself it’s not fucking fair that he looks like this. Like he’s been carved from marble and cast in gold. 
Thank God he’s yours. 
He doesn’t disappoint you — his lips finding yours and kissing you deeply, his chest brushing your own. Your entire body seems to sigh at the touch, tingling with anticipation — you’ve been overdue for all these kisses for far too long and it seems once you’ve gotten started, it feels impossible to stop.
You kiss needily, your hands moving off his midriff to drift up to his jawline. You cradle it gently, your lips a little less gentle- you try to remember how to do this, how to nip at his lips teasingly, how to soothe them with your tongue. 
Slowly, Steve’s body weight lowers onto you as he focuses more and more on figuring out what you seem to like. Time melts like candle wax and you feel as goopy as it too, all warm and pliable, softened by his kisses. Heat begins to simmer in your gut. You don’t know how long you’ve been kissing when Steve pulls away, his mouth cherry red and his face flushed. 
His fingers slip beneath the strap of your bra, toying with it but nothing more. He checks over your face as he asks, “Wanna take this off?” 
You nod, breathlessly. Up til now, it’s been easy to turn off your brain and let all your thoughts revolve around getting kissed absolutely stupid by Steve. 
But as his hands work deftly beneath you, unclipping the strap of your bra and beginning to tug it down, you feel the first worry creep in — this is usually when your panties follow, then his boxers, and then the expectations. Even with all your enjoyment, you know that if he tries now, you won’t be ready. 
Frustration bubbles up in your chest, mingling with your insecurity and you squirm a bit, trying to think of how to tell Steve without disappointing him. 
You’re so sick of disappointing people for something you can’t seem to help. 
Steve notices your squirming. His head shoots up to meet your gaze, a furrow back in his brow. “Hey, hey, what’s goin’ on?” 
“I…” Words die on your tongue easily, a war happening inside your throat as you debate what to say. You like him— you really like him and don’t want this to end and… he told you he wants you to tell the truth. 
“I don’t… I’m not—“ Your whisper climbs in volume alongside your frustration. “Steve, this isn’t working.” 
The wrinkle between his brow deepens and it’s not a comforting sight. Steve shifts a bit, his hand moving from the straps of your bra up to your face. He pushes back a few stray locks of hair, eyes sincere. 
“Not working?” He murmurs, “Baby, we’ve only just started.” 
You blink up at him once, twice. Your mouth opens and then closes again. 
You know that but you also know how this goes. Well, you think you know— so why do you suddenly feel so foolish? 
“Oh.” You say shyly. You sink your teeth into your bottom lip and try to ignore feeling like you’ve just ruined the mood. 
Steve takes it all in his stride, nothing but a twitch in his furrows brows as he takes in your embarrassed expression. He leans down, and kisses your neck, then your collarbone. His lips trail down, down, slow and sensual. Your bra scraps down your arms, tossed aside absentmindedly.
“Sweet girl,” he whispers into your skin. “I’m so sorry.” 
“Sorry?” You echo, a bit breathier as Steve's kisses scrape down your breast. Your nipples peak to attention.
“Mhm,” he hums, his lips wrapping around your nipple and sucking— his hands paw greedily at your back which arches eagerly into his kisses. Steve drags his mouth off, beginning to mouth softly down your breast til his plush lips kiss at your sternum. 
“M’sorry that nobody has ever taken care of you before.”
You squirm beneath him at his words, a warm flush washing through your body as desire spins up inside you. Steve continues as if he hasn’t turned your whole view inside-out— his hand shifting up to thumb at your nipple as he takes your nipple back between his lips. 
“Steve…” you sigh out. 
He’s kneading your body in just the right way, the sensitivity of your chest fuelling the pool of heat growing deep in your stomach. You feel your thighs clench together, hips shifting up instinctively. You haven’t been touched like this before and fuck, it’s a lot. 
“I know, honey.” He says lowly, voice muffled against your skin. He suckles at your nipple and just nips at it, a flash of teeth, enough to make you arch further. Your eyes slip shut and you push your chest further out. 
To your disappointment, Steve pulls back instead. Your eyes open, neck craning to look at him, your chest rising and falling with your heavy breaths.
“Y’tell me if there’s anything you don’t like, alright?” 
Somehow, the heat in your gut flares that much hotter — knowing that there’s love behind every motion. You scramble for threads of courage and hold them tightly. Then you bend your legs until you can slide them around his waist, ankles crossing and tugging him closer. His cock, straining in his pants, presses flush against your core, and at the same time you inhale, Steve stutters out a groan. 
“I’ll tell you.” You say, sinking your teeth into your bottom lip to hold back your grin. It melts away as Steve shifts against you purposefully, one of his hands dropping to hold your hip. The hard length of him grinds against your cunt, catching the angle of your clit in a way that makes you mewl beneath him. 
Steve kisses your breast again but your hands are already reaching for him— fingers cupping his jaw to tug him up. Your lips capture his and this time, when he rolls his hips into yours, the soft noise you make is swallowed in his kiss. It’s fervent, your kisses gaining speed and mess. You tighten your ankles and experiment with your grind and are rewarded with a jagged moan from Steve. 
Faintly, you consider how it makes a little more sense now. That all those desperate motions of making out, rutting against each other, hot open-mouth kisses— fuck, if it was always like this, you get it. You feel like you’re on fire. 
A breeze flutters the curtains across the room, the only indication of time outside your little bubble. It’s far too easy to get lost in the motions— building up your lust until you’re sure the cotton between your legs is soaked through. It feels silly but god, even though you knew this was one of the things making all those past times so terrible, you had just assumed that’s how it would always be. 
The stickiness feels vulgar, your cunt pulsating with heat like you’ve never felt before. It just makes it all feel better though— the warm, hard heat of Steve’s cock, fitting snug between your folds. 
A pause in the makeout to catch your breath. You’re huffing wildly and Steve takes the moment of his undistracted attention to focus on the shorts you’re wearing. He doesn’t ask verbally this time but as he hooks his fingers beneath the waistband, his eyes flash up to yours in question. 
You wiggle your hips and Steve takes his cue, the fabric scraping against your skin as it slides down, down, down. To your surprise, Steve goes with them. He gets halfway down the bed, his head aligned with your belly, hands kneading at the flesh of your boobs before he halts. 
“I wanna try something,” He says, looking up at you. He dots a quick kiss onto your skin as he does, not breaking eye contact. “And I think you’re gonna really love it.” 
He drags out the word really, his voice low enough that it rumbles, nearly a purr. 
“It involves a little bit of this.” He murmurs, pressing a kiss into your navel. He kisses nice and slow, the plushness of his lips scraping across the stretch of skin. 
You shiver a little, feeling how your thighs part instinctively and Steve smiles wickedly, seeing the motion. 
“A little—“ He travels further down, his hands sliding to hold the outside of your thighs. He grips the skin and urges it to spread wider— then takes a greedy fat lick along your inner thigh. “—of this.” 
You squirm. It’s unnerving in the best way, having someone so dedicated to making you feel good— but Steve’s face betrays no hint of insincerity. In fact, if you had to guess, you’d say he even looks excited. 
His large tan hands cover your hips, slender fingers curved atop your thighs to keep them pried open. You’re expecting the next question to be getting the final scrap of clothing off you— a mixture of nerves and excitement at the vulnerability that comes with taking them off. 
He doesn’t though. Drawing a line with the tip of his nose, he nuzzles down from the inside of your knee to your thigh, the warmth of his breath fanning across sensitive skin. He kisses your cunt, once, soft. You twitch, a sweet noise pushing past your lips. 
Steve does it again. This time, his lips part and you feel his tongue press through the soaked cotton of your panties — he kisses again, harder, moving over your clit with his tongue. This time you moan and feel your hips tip up to chase his mouth, surprising yourself. 
Fuck, when have you ever been this wet before? The cotton between your legs is sticky and it only gets messier with Steve’s every lick. The duvet crinkles beneath you as you sigh and sink into it, the low throb of pleasure curling up in your gut. 
“Steve,” you sigh his name like it’s a prayer. 
He hums against your core, his fingers gliding beneath the elastic of your panties but not pulling them down just yet. His hot mouth drops lower, his nose pressing into you at the perfect angle. Your breathy exhale is lilted with moans. 
“See?” He murmurs, so low you nearly don’t hear him. 
“S’Nothing wrong with you, sweetheart. Y’just needed…“ His fingers grip your panties and begin to pull and you aid him quickly with a lift of your hips. “…someone to take a little more care with you.” 
Any fear of vulnerability is whirled far away; you need his mouth back on you, like, yesterday. Especially when Steve groans. Like the sight of your glistening cunt is enough to make his cock ache. Your tummy heats further at the thought. 
His hands re-situate, soothing up to your tummy before sliding back down to grasp the tops of your thighs again. He pulls them open wider. 
Pure fire streaks through your nerves, a sweltering pleasurable burn twisting in your gut as Steve’s tongue licks through your folds in one bold stroke. Your hips try to twitch forward but his hands are already there, holding them down. 
There’s one more pause, one soft curse of adoration, as his nose nuzzles along the soft skin of your inner thigh. You feel unbearably warm in his sheets, heat pulsating and dancing beneath your skin. 
“Steve,” you whisper his name again, urging him gently. “Please.” 
“I got you,” He murmurs in response.  “You don’t gotta say please with me,” He hums lowly, then kisses right on your clit, languid and warm, his tongue swirling around it deftly. You cry out softly. 
He drags his mouth off you and if you looked down, you’d see the soft sheen of your slick on his rosy lips. “I wanna give you everything you want.” 
You gasp as he finally puts his mouth on you properly, pleasure dribbling through your core as he suckles on your clit. He’s killer with his tongue, twisting it and flattening it against your bud in a way that has you squirming. The sheets scrunch in your frenzied grip. 
For the first time, you understand why pornos even sound like that— taking a moment to realise the whiney gaspy noise you’re hearing is coming from you. 
“Oh god,” You whine prettily. “That’s— uh— fuck, that’s really good.” 
Between your thighs, you hear and feel the moan Steve gives back. Your thighs are twitching, torn between trying to keep them apart or warm your boyfriend's ears. Your hips are moving, subtle grinds up into Steve’s face and he takes it all appreciatively. He sucks and slurps, tongue dragging down your folds to toy at your clenching hole— making you squeal. 
“Fuck,” he rasps, pulling back for a moment. His voice is doused in arousal. “You’re so wet.” 
Heat plumes low in your tummy as he dives back in, a groan echoing from his throat. The coil in your gut tightens, winding tighter and tighter. Your chest heaves as your voice melts away until everything you say is a whimpery little “yes, yes, yes,” and Steve’s name. 
His huge hands are still pressing your thighs apart but one shifts suddenly, barely noticeable in your mounting euphoria, until it’s tapping at your hand fisted in the sheets. 
You lift your head, confused, and peer down at him. 
It’s a mistake. His hand is resting on the bed in front of your own, propped up and fingers spread. It's clear he wants to hold your hand. Chest heaving and still lightly moaning, your eyes dart from his hand to his face — and that’s the mistake. 
He’s fucking beautiful. Hair mussed, rosy-cheeked, and dark-eyed, Steve can only hold eye contact for a moment before his eyelids slip shut as he moans against your cunt. Fire blooms under your skin, coil turned tighter and together. He wants to hold your hand. Your fingers just manage to tangle with Steve’s, holding tight, as you tip over the edge with a cry. 
It’s intense — jagged waves of pleasure that ride through every nerve in your body and have you nearly overwhelmed with how fucking good it feels. Incoherent babbling whines pour from your mouth. Your thighs lock up, beating Steve’s strong hold now that he’s down to just one hand, and close around his head. He moans in response, his tongue never letting up, licking and sucking at your cunt fervently. 
And he holds your hand the whole way through. 
You feel thoroughly flattened by the time your orgasm tapers off, your legs relaxing and flopping tiredly against the bed. Vaguely, you’re aware you should apologise for likely cutting off his oxygen flow for a good couple of seconds there but you’re too out of breath yourself to do so. 
Your chest rises and falls and a sweet contentment settles into your skin. You feel happy, loved. Without meaning to, an awed laugh titters out of you. 
Then another, and another. You can’t seem to stop laughing, a gleeful silly joy as you release his hand to bury your face in your own. 
“Holy shit,” you whisper to yourself. Then, slightly louder. “Holy shit, Steve.” 
You hear him laugh and the sheets crinkle — and then he’s in your field of vision, hovering over you with an adoring grin on his face. His lips are still so pink and there’s a shine on his chin. He wipes it away absentmindedly, focused on you. 
“I take it you enjoyed yourself?” He says, genuine and not at all cocky. He settles down, one arm on either side of your chest. One of his hands sweeps over your face sweetly. 
You nod, tucking your bottom lip behind your teeth to constrain your grin. 
“Uh huh,” you say, voice all gooey. “I didn’t—“ 
You pause. “I thought— and then you— and Oh my Goddd.” You cover your face with your hands again, groaning exaggeratedly as you try to roll over and melt away into his bed sheets. 
“See? I told you it wasn’t you,” Steve says, peppering little kisses where he can reach. He kisses your shoulder, along the side of your face. He coaxes you out gently, pressing your shoulder to roll you onto your back. You face him properly.
“There is nothing wrong with you.” He reminds you. You’ve never been so happy to be wrong. You nod, hair scrunching against the pillow behind you. 
“Okay,” You say, with a small smile, finally believing it. “There’s nothing wrong with me.” 
Steve’s stare is glowing with fondness and the next moment, he’s lurching forward to press his mouth to yours. You kiss back greedily and lazily all at once.
He pulls back and you hate how the thought comes to you, unbidden; the smallest wrinkle creasing between your brows. 
“But,” You begin, voice small. “That wasn’t sex though.” 
Steve’s head tilts an inch, like an adorably confused puppy. “What do you mean? That was sex.” 
“What? That was— that was like second base.”
Steve huffs a laugh, though not directed at you. His gaze shifts above your head as he chooses his words. “Uhh, sure, if we were still in high school. But even then, that’s still sex. We just had some sex.” 
Stating it so plainly, you can’t help how it makes you giggle a bit. Steve rolls his eyes, even though you can tell he’s entirely endeared. 
“We just had sex,” You repeat his words, eyes bright and grin growing. “And I really enjoyed it.” 
Steve laughs loudly and steals a quick kiss from you. Holding up his hand, he wiggles his eyebrows at you. “Just had sex high-five?” He jokes. 
You slap your hand against his anyways, twisting your fingers to hold onto his hand as you let them fall to the bed. Steve beams, cuddling in closer, the tip of his nose nuzzling against your own. 
Turns out, you might be starting to get the whole big deal around sex after all.

have sum steddie! maybe modern!au, no upside down!au & a meet cute <3
Steve sits in the booth, his foot tapping away mindlessly under the table, with half a mind to abandon the table entirely.
In fact, the only reason he hadn’t yet was because of the $20 he was hanging out for at the end. And the bragging rights, of course.
Robin had set him up on this blind date, plied him with all the promises in the world that he would enjoy it — said she’d spent a decent amount of time hunting for the right first gay date for Steve.
She also conceded that if he, for whatever reason, didn’t enjoy it, she would cough up 20 whole bucks for his wasted time. But he had to actually see the date through for the prize to be claimed.
And the bragging rights were so that Robin — with her uppity, healthy, and happy relationship that Steve was only a little bit envious of — could ease onto the breaks when it came to Steve’s love life.
So it was looking a little bleak at the moment, so what? Every stallion or… lion or whatever had their moments, right? Moments where their mane is a little uncouth and food is low and…. Where was he going with this?
The point was, that Robin got into one relationship and suddenly decided she was fit to become a high and mighty matchmaker. Never mind that Steve had reminded her numerous times that he had dated a lot more than she had.
So, for 20 bucks and the right to stick his tongue out at his best friend when she tried to meddle, Steve could stick one night out.
Besides, she was right about one thing. They weren’t in Hawkins anymore — and San Francisco had a hell of a larger dating pool than his hometown.
Still, that didn’t make people anymore for prompt for dates though, apparently. Steve’s foot taps incessantly under the table, his knee bouncing up and down in his nerves. He runs a hand through his hair and checks his watch again.
7 o’clock, Harvey’s Diner, a cute little Italian place that Steve had begun to frequent since they moved to the city, and a date with a dude called Daniel whom Steve had no idea what he looked like.
This was his Friday night plans.
His watch reads 7:12pm and Steve sighs, his fingers beginning to fiddle with the strap of his watch just for something to do. Great. He had gotten all dressed up for this? To be stood up? How was this any better than his usual Friday night plans that Robin claimed were so pathe—
“Hi.”
Someone sits down in the booth across from Steve, landing with a thump loud enough to give him a fright.
Steve’s head whips up from its focus on fiddling with his watch and— woah. Steve blinks once, twice, and feels his jaw unhinge a little, his lips parting an inch as he gazes at the stranger across from him.
Holy shit, this dude was hot.
He’s got curls for days, dark chocolate ringlets all messy and unkept spilling over his shoulders— long and probably perfect for burying your hands into. Steve flushes a little at the unexpected thought.
He has beautiful brown eyes, widened with a smudge of eyeliner and framed with long lashes. Steve thinks he can spy a smattering of freckles across his forehead. His nose is long and his lips are plush and pink and holy shit, this dude was pretty.
“Oh— hi.” Steve manages to remember his manners. Only after he fully checked this dude out, of course.
God, couldn’t Robin have given him a better warning than just ‘he’s probably your type’? Couldn’t she have warned him that this dude was ‘do-a-double-take-on-the-street type hot?’ What the fuck Robin?
The man across from him grins, wicked and alluring all at once, and shucks off his heavy leather jacket. His eyes do a once-over on Steve, taking his time to check him out— which is great because Steve is stuck on all the glorious tattoos that have just been revealed. So much skin shown in his roughly chopped muscle-tee, swirling ink all down his arms. This dude is hot.
Silently, Steve curses Robin and the 20 dollars that is totally slipping away from him. Why did she have to be right all the time?
“Been waiting long?” The man, Daniel, asks as he makes himself comfortable across the table. He pushes his hair back with both hands, using one hand to gather it into a ponytail, holding it up to air out his neck and Steve now realises he is slightly puffed.
He must’ve run part of the way here, to avoid being later than he was. Steve can’t help but be slightly endeared by that fact.
The man grins again, “Promise I was trying to be on time but, you know how the subway is.”
Steve huffs out a laugh, any annoyance at being kept waiting melting away at his date’s sincerity.
“Not too long,” Steve admits, smiling to ease Daniel’s apparent concern. Across the table, Daniel slumps a little and releases his hair, his curls pooling back around his shoulders. Steve watches, entranced.
“Well, that’s good,” Daniel smiles, eyes bright like he really means it, and his hand darts out to steal the drinks menu from the edge of the table. He looks back over to Steve, a furrow in his brows. “You didn’t order anything?”
“I thought I should wait,” Steve says with a shrug. No point paying for food if your date never shows up.
Daniel looks up from the menu through his lashes and smiles, placing his elbow on the table and dropping his chin in the palm of his hand. “Aw, you’re sweet.”
Steve is a little embarrassed by how easily the compliment makes him blush, feeling his cheeks glow lightly. Across the table, Daniel seems to revel in it, drinking in the way Steve’s face filled with colour with a cheeky smile. His eyes flick back down to the menu.
“You know,” Daniel begins, keeping his eyes on the menu, scanning it with a hum. “Chrissy said you were good looking but I think she seriously undersold you.”
He takes his eyes off the menu to trail up Steve’s body, his gaze heavy. Steve feels a delighted zing go up his spine, feels the way he preens at Daniel’s attraction. Steve opens his mouth to respond, more than ready to return the flirt when—
“Can I get you two started with anything?”
The waitress interrupts. She’s poised with her notepad, standing at the edge of the booth. Daniel perks up and nods.
“Can I get a chocolate milkshake please?” He asks with a polite smile. Steve laughs lightly at his selection and Daniel’s gaze cuts from the waitress to Steve.
“What? Not a milkshake man?”
Steve tries to contain his grin, all too endeared by the man before him. He shakes his head and raises his hand in defense. “Nothing against milkshakes just… for dinner?”
Daniel gasps theatrically and his head snaps back to the waitress. “This man has never had the delight of a Harvey’s milkshake with his dinner. Please bring us two chocolate milkshakes!”
Steve watches as the waitress dutifully writes down the order and turns on her heel, heading for the kitchen. He turns back to his date and gapes, taken aback by the forwardness.
“Did you just order for me?”
“Did you just diss milkshakes?”
Steve scoffs, but even then he can’t stop his lips from curling up into a smile. He can’t believe it but he’s genuinely glad he waited this date out. It's not at all like he was expecting. Even Robin's short description of this dude pales in comparison to the real thing. Steve nudges his foot forward into Daniel’s shin lightly.
“I did not diss milkshakes,” Steve argues, his smile widening at how Daniel’s eyes dart to the table before back up at Steve with a grin.
“Uh huh,” Daniel nods, his voice sarcastic and 100% unbelieving of Steve’s insistence. “Just wait, okay? You’ll be changing your tune soon enough. Harvey’s milkshakes are class. I’ve had a thousand of my best ideas in here, sipping on a chocolate milkshake.”
Steve grins and leans back in his seat, crossing his arms over his chest. Under the table, he feels Daniel’s boot nudge against his leg gently— and he laughs to himself. This has gotta be the most teenage way of flirting and he’s fucking loving it.
“You know,” Steve begins hesitantly, letting his forearms lean up against the table. “You’re not quite what I expected, Daniel.”
Across the table, Daniel scrunches up his face, his expression one of pure befuddlement. He puts his hands flat on the table and leans forward.
“Wait, you think my name is Daniel?”
Steve splutters for a moment because even though the answer is duh, yes, it’s become increasingly apparent that the man across from him is not who he was expecting. But if he’s not Daniel, who is he?
Suddenly, the door chimes and someone else is entering the diner. It’s a man dressed like Steve — on the preppy side with hair that must’ve taken at least an hour. He scans the booth and spots Steve’s booth, wandering over, his eyes fixed on the man across from Steve.
“Hey, are you Eddie?” He asks confidently, ignoring Steve’s presence on the other side of the booth.
The man — Eddie — freezes as he glances up at the newcomer and then back down to Steve ahead of him. Steve deflates a little inside as he realises abruptly what’s happened— a mix-up of wrong dates that was completely warranted because this dude dresses exactly like Steve. Steve doesn't stare too long to see if he's any hotter.
Instead, he tries to give Eddie the all-clear with his eyes. He smiles polite as he can and gives a little nod to let him know it was alright to abandon him for the date he was supposed to go on. Not to get stuck with Steve.
Eddie clears his throat and smiles, not cheeky like he had with Steve, but stiff and polite. “Ah sorry man, I think you’ve got the wrong guy. My name's Daniel.”
Huh? Steve takes his eyes off the table to steal a glimpse at Eddie (is his name even Eddie?) and something inside him burns hotly when the man glances across at Steve and winks.
The man standing by the booth wavers for a moment, glancing between them in the booth as Steve schools his expression to neutral. After a moment of silence, there's a half-assed apology as the man retreats, heading back out the door he had just come through. The door chimes again on his way out.
Steve straightens up and peers over his shoulder, watching the door slowly swing shut. He turns back to the man across the booth and squints at him. The waitress returns briefly, dropping two large chocolate shakes onto the table, topped with a mountain of cream. She murmurs something about coming back to take their order in a moment.
"Wait, so who are you?" Steve asks, gently sliding his shake closer to him. "Daniel or Eddie?"
His date —well, his new date— has already begun taking a big long sip from his own milkshake, so enamored with it that when he pulls away there's a dot of cream on the end of his nose. He swallows with a satisfied ah and grins across the table at Steve, not noticing the dairy on his face.
"I'm whoever gets me talking with you a little bit longer."
Steve grins, an endeared roll of his eye at the blatant flirting but he can't deny how it makes his chest warm. He grabs one of the napkins and reaches forward, adoring how Eddie goes cross-eyed as he watches Steve smudge away the cream on his nose. He laughs sheepishly, giving his nose a little wipe with his own hand.
"I'm Eddie." He says, finally introducing himself. He doesn't offer his hand, just gives Steve a little nudge under the table and a grin over his milkshake. "And I think you just saved me from a terrible date."
Steve laughs, giving a little shake of his head. He finally goes in for a sip of his own milkshake— and it's just as heavenly as Eddie had promised, glorious chocolate dancing over his taste buds.
Steve groans quietly, eyes bright when he glances at the other man over his glass, entirely amused by how wide-eyed Eddie has become. He releases the straw and sits back, more invested in this date than he has been in... years. Stallion's got its mojo back. Or lion. Whatever.
"I'm Steve," He responds, giving a little nudge back under the table and a grin of his own. "And I think you saved me from being stood up."

Hi I luv little!Steve and will prob post so much ab it sooo this is a COMPLETLY SFW regression!
Kink regressors dni
Little Steve 🧸
How about little Steve who gets really clingy to Eddie when he regresses
Normally Steve is a little clingy when he’s big, the usual boyfriend stuff nothing too crazy. But when he’s little he has to be near Eddie all the time, has to hold his hand, hold onto his shirt, lean onto him
And Eddie pegs it as when little kids imitate right?
Wrong
Steve is still coping with the fact that Eddie almost didn’t make it
His little brain just wants to be near him to make sure he’s still there
So when Eddie has to rush to answer the phone to make sure it doesn’t wake Steve, he comes back to a little Steve
Near tears on his bed, holding his teddy close
“Baby?” He whispers
“What’s wrong, Stevie?” He gets closer
Steve let’s out a little whimper and and stretches a hand out
Eddie quickly makes his way over and pulls Steve into his chest
“teds” Steve breathes in deep
“I’m here baby, I’m here” he rubs a hand down Steve’s back
“Don’ leave” steve says tearfully
“I just went to get the phone Stevie” Eddie let’s out a little laugh
Steve whines at that
“But don- don leave. You” ,Steve huffs, “Almost left and then came and and I don’t want you to leave” Steve tugs at Eddie’s shirt
“Almost left? Baby I’ve been here” Eddie frowns
“No” Steve shakes his head “before..when. when” Steve shudders
And it dawns on Eddie then.
What his baby means.
“Oh sugar” he hugs Steve tighter
“I’m sorry baby” he sighs
“Jus don’t leave kay?” Steve nods into his neck
And Eddie knows they’ll talk about it, when Steve’s out of his headspace
They’ll talk about it and Steve will say how scared he is that it’ll happen again, or that somehow Eddie will have a late reaction
And Eddie will reassure him that he’s never been healthier, that he’ll let him know what he’s up to when he has time and
slowly, little Steve won’t be as attached to him.
He’ll stay in the living room, cuddling with his teddy while Eddie’s off cooking food or tidying up
And they’ll be okay with it

I just finished up a Steddie AgeRe fanfic, revolving around Valentine's Day, with a word count of 1748...
That's so WAY more than I anticipated! lmao
Well.. I guess you should get ready to indulge in a whole bunch of hurt / comfort, sprinkled with some angst, on Feburary 14th.

Part three of my agere steddie fic! Unfortunately this one is vry dialogue heavy and has no actual regression but it sets the scene so i can do some fun regression content in the future!!!
Tw: discussion of negative emotional reactions
Part two Part four
Tumblr media
Steve woke up slowly, he felt like he could probably sleep a thousand more days. His sweatpants were twisted around his legs and his blanket was kicked off, outside his window he could see the sun just getting low in the sky. He groaned and threw his arms over his eyes. 
He couldnt believe he behaved like that, like a freaking child. All he did was cry and- oh god. Spill water everywhere? Get tangled in his shirt? He was so beyond mortified he had allowed himself to be that weak. Eddie probably hated him, he was definitely at his house calling every single person he knew telling them steve was an idiot and a crybaby. God he felt worse then he did when he first woke up. 
Steve leaned into his mattress and let out a scream that hurt his throat. He was never going to leave his house again. He was never getting out of this bed. Poor eddie. Steve sat on his actual lap and sobbed! This was definitely the number one most embarrassing thing he had ever done. He shoved his shirt in his mouth and screamed again. 
Thats when he heard quick footsteps making their way up his steps, he sat up quickly and stared at his door wide eyed. The footsteps made their way down his hall prompting him to grab at the metal pole sitting half under his bed. Just as he got it situated in his hands his door was kicked down and he shreiked. 
Steve had been fully expecting an attack, a shady government group or russian spy or upside down creature. Anything really aside from a frantic eddie munson. Steve threw his pole down once recognition hit him and leaned forward to hid his face in his covers, attempting to regain some control over himself. 
“Steve!” eddie gasped out, steve couldnt see him from his current position but from the sounds of it eddie was pretty shaken as well. 
“I dont wanna talk” steve yelled into the blanket, he was still far too embarrassed to do anything besides hide. 
“Are you okay? I heard screaming and uh the pole and- did you have a nightmare?” eddie obviously wasnt picking up on steves extreme ‘leave me alone’ signals.
“Im fine” steve ground out, praying that eddie would just get up and leave.
“Okay well if you are fine i wanna talk about earlier” steves prayers were ignored.
“Please no i dont wanna talk about it” steve shifted on the bed but kept his face firmly hidden, he could feel his cheeks burning with embarrassment.
“Steve…” steve felt his bed dip and eddies presence overwhelmed his senses, “steve im not mad or anything, just concerned?” eddie let steve sit with this for a moment.
“Okay” steve muttered into his mattress, “dont tell anyone”
“Gasp! I am wounded steve, you have such little faith in me! Of course i wont tell anyone” steve rolled his eyes at eddies dramatics, though he knew the other couldnt see. 
“Just making sure” the bed shifted more as eddie moved around, he never was one to stay still, “well since that's settled i think we’re all done here” 
“Woah woah woah no way sir im not done” steve groaned loudly and finally lifted his head up to face eddie. 
“Im fine eddie please just- i wont do that again so dont worry” eddies face fell a bit.
“What did you even do?” steve deflated and stared at eddie.
“Spill water all over you” eddie laughed not unkindly and steve glared in return.
“It was more then that stevie,” steve felt blood rush to his cheeks at that nickname, “describe how it felt to me?”
“Felt uh…” steve faltered, “foggy? Like i wasnt fully awake or something?” eddie nodded at him to continue, “i dont know thats kinda all ive got” Eddie continued to sit besides him open and gentle and infuriating, “i guess i felt like not myself but myself too, like uhm kinda small? I dont know if that makes any sense but i kinda felt small” eddie nodded and crossed his legs before uncrossing them. Steve watched him anxiously.
“Can i tell you what i think it was? And before i say anything i am not judging you and you are not in trouble i promise! My word is my life i would not lie to you” steve rolled his eyes at eddies dramatics but still felt a cold rush of fear run over him, he didnt want to face whatever it is he was doing but he supposed he owed it to his friend. He nodded and looked down at his legs, face red.
“Again, no judgment at all but you seemed childish” steve felt his face burn, that was probably the worst thing eddie could have said. He was thoroughly ermbarrased.
“Im so sorry” steve blurted out before raising his hands up to hide his face. 
“No you are not in trouble remember? Im just- im not surprised after everything that happened and all the stuff i wasnt even around for! Your brain probably just does that you know? Makes you younger when stuff gets hard, it makes sense to me. Im not like its nothing bad i just was really worried about you today but after thinking it over downstairs i feel like its fine! Its literally fine! I dont think you do it on purpose and i think its just survival and people can be so mean i know and i wont ever be mean to you like thati know how it feels to be-” steve stared up at eddie with big eyes and watched as eddie deflated some, “okay im rambling. Small is a good word to describer it though. Younger mentally sounds wordsy” eddie smiled at steve easily.
Steve leaned forward and shoved his face into the sheets thinking over what eddie had said. Was it helpful to feel that way? He hadnt thought of being small in a way that wasnt bad, shameful. He felt so cloudy and unlike himself like that. It being childish definitely made sense, children spill things and cry and wet the bed. He could only picture that headspace4 as something that happened when he was very scared or very sad. 
“I dont like it” he finally responded. There was silence for awhile before eddie’s hands grabbed onto steves shoulders and yanked him to be sitting. Steve groaned at the disturbance but went with little fight.        
“Why not?” eddie leaned back but kept his hands firmly placed on steve. Steve shrugged and looked away. After a few long seconds it became clear that eddie was not going to move until; steve answered.
“I feel scared when im like that usually i guess. Like if anything happened i couldnt help myself or the people i love. I dont know why my brain would do that its not helpful” eddie frowned. 
“Are you scared a lot?” steve froze up.
“Thats relative” eddie rolled his eyes dramatically and let his hands fall gently off stevesd shoulders,
“You know you dont always have to be in charge, you can be small sometimes” eddie looked at steve earnestly who in turn struggled to fight off a wave of emotion.
“Who will take care of everyone? Whos gonna clean this house and get those kidas to school and make sure robin is awake for her shift? Its not like i could do anything when im like that, i cant even change my own shirt” steve curled further into himself suddenly feeling thoroughly miserable.
“You arent alone in this world. The kids can take themselves to school and robin can buy a freaking alarm clock and well-” eddie bumped his legs into steves softly, “ill help you out. I was not bothered by you at all. I didnt like seeing you sad but i wanna help you plus youre kinda adorable stevie.” steve turned bright red and hid his face inbetween his shoulders. 
“Shut up” he murmured, chin thoroughly hidden in his chest.
“No seriously! I liked helping you! Its okay to need help, i needed nancy’s help graduating highschool for gods sake and i needed your help filling out that stupuid job application and ive called little byers in the middle of the night for help with a campaign. People need help and i dont know what kinda lonely house this is but id love to fill in the emptiness. I kinda am like your friend now” steve tipped forward into the sheets again, his hair tickling eddies legs- when had they gotten so close? Eddie just laughed and leaned forward to wrap steve in an awkward backwards hug. 
“You dont have to” eddie rubbed his hands over steves back in a way far too comforting. 
“I want to”
