'fruity four' modern hcs
hii this is my first post so i wanted to do something easy to put myself out there :)
eddie munson: - defo has a kirk hammett tiktok fan account where he tries his best to edit him - it's not even a secret fan account, though, it's openly him and he shares it with all his friends - whenever he posts something new his friends are the first to like it, although he's got an impressive amount of followers - the epitome of 'babe wake up, a new kirk hammett edit just dropped' - on a different note, defo plays animal crossing with dustin and they visit each others' islands - this is something he doesn't share with anyone else apart from dustin, though - he thinks it's 'not very metal of him' - still loves all the same music he did in the eighties: metallica, iron maiden, black sabbath etc. - has a hatred for any mainstream artists like harry styles, lorde etc - nothing personal he just hates the style - the closest he's got to a mainstream artist is taylor swift because of nancy and robin, still didn't like her much, though
steve harrington: - spams his private snapchat story with tiktoks, funny and sad ones - this story is his entire livelihood, it consists of the party and the fruity four - it's annoying sometimes but most of the time they enjoy looking at it - he also has every games console under the sun and loves playing fortnite and minecraft unironically - probably the nerdiest thing he does - loves jenna ortega and literally watches anything she's in because he's a massive fangirl - not in a weird way like all those tiktok boys but he literally thinks shes such an amazing actor and watches everything she's in - even watched stuck in the middle for her when he was younger - that's where his fangirling started - loves arctic monkeys and the 1975 - also an avid stevie nicks and fleetwood mac fan
nancy wheeler: - 100% a pinterest girlie - has a board for everything and it's all so organised - if there's something major going on in her life that she's planning e.g., a party or a gathering, you can trust that she has a pinterest board for it - doesn't have instagram because she refuses to download it due to its 'hyperfixation on boosting unrealistic beauty standards and lifestyles' (her words not mine) - despises reality tv for the same reasons - swiftie, enough said. - 1989, lover, debut, speak now swiftie
robin buckley: - unironically stans harry styles but that's okay - as much as she loves harry styles, she also loves old music - her go to is blondie - has the nicest 'pinterest' aesthetic bedroom with those prints and posters everywhere - also a swiftie - folklore, reputation, lover, evermore, midnights swiftie - adores pop culture - celebrities, interviews, magazines and celeb drama are what she lives for - annoys nancy with it because nance hates that stuff but she doesn't mind because robin's her friend - pays for a spotify premium family for her friends (the fruity four) instead of getting them birthday gifts because she loves music so much and believes it's the 'best gift anyone could give' and way more worth it than a physical materialistic item - obsessed with jellycats
tysm for reading! i'd love to hear what you think. feel free to look on my page at what i'm comfortable writing and then make a request :) i don't just write for stranger things, either!

。・:*˚:✧。
You walk into the the school, eyes roaming around as you look for your designated classroom. You just moved in to Hawkins and you have no idea where to go and what to do.
You start to panic as the bell rings, the students rushing to their class and you still don’t know where yours is. You spot a teacher and you rush towards him, “hi g-good morning. I just wanted to ask where Mrs. Parker’s class is? Sorry for bothering you, I’m new here” you ask nervously. The man smiles softly, “No worries. Just go straight and turn right over there” he instructs, pointing at the now empty hallway. You then nod and mutter a small thank you as you part ways.
You pace to the classroom, heart beating fast as you try to reach your destination as soon as you can.
You were late on your first day.
You finally arrive at Mrs. Parker’s class, you step in and try to catch your breath. The students stare at you and you start to feel awkward. Your teacher reaches out her hand to introduce you, “class this is Y/N Y/L/N, she’s new here. Be nice and welcome her” she says.
“Come sit beside Robin Buckley over there” she adds.
You nod and clutch on the strap of your bag as you sit beside Robin. Cute you thought. “Hi” she says with a smile - her voice was raspy, hair kinda messy, eyes very pretty, and she seemed like a ball of sunshine. “Hello” you reply, the energy she gives off is very bright, warm and comforting for you which makes you very glad to be beside her.
。・:*˚:✧。
Robin glances over you ever so often, she noticed how quiet you were and how you didn’t seem to laugh nor smile at Jackson’s jokes who’s actually the class clown. Your somberness is starting to make her worry.
Is she okay?
Is anyone making her uncomfy? o-or am I making her uncomfy?!
Did I make a bad impression?
Her mind gets filled up with so many thoughts as she starts to panic inside - afraid that you might not like her as a seatmate.
You haven’t been feeling happy lately, sure you smile here and there but you haven’t felt genuine happiness ever since your family moved to Hawkins. It wasn’t because you hate the place - you actually like it. You’re just scared of the changes happening in your life, of having to adjust to the new environment and meet new people. You also currently find yourself upset with how you did today, arriving to you class late and feeling like a fool as your classmates stare at you.
You were going over your notes while you wait for the next teacher to arrive when you suddenly hear someone singing Hopelessly Devoted To You at the corner of the room. Your start to squint your eyes and cautiously cover your ears so the others won’t notice as you try to surpress your hearing from the awful sound. You examine your surroundings and see your classmates cheering for Tammy Thompson’s appaling voice, are they for real? Or they’re just deaf? you thought to yourself.
What you didn’t notice was your seatmate, she had the same reaction as yours.
Robin shifts her body from the discomfort of Tammy’s singing. Steve was right.
“God she sounds like a muppet” she says quietly to herself but you atill heard her clearly. You giggle at her comment, finally someone feels the same way about the girl’s so called ‘talent’.
Robin perks up, she finally heard you giggle. She looks at you surprised and sees you smiling widely, causing her heart do a bunch of summersaults at the sight.
You look back at her and lean closer, “even the muppets can sing better than her” you whisper.
You cover your mouths at the same time and faces grow red, trying your hardest to keep your laughs to yourselves. “She does this every single day, since middle school!” Robin whispers back and you groan in response. Great now I have to endure her singing everyday.
Tammy’s song finally comes to an end, you and Robin sighs in relief.
Your next teacher finally arrives amd greets the class.
You feel a light tap on your soldier and you face Robin omce mor with a smile - agenuine one, “Hey-uh Y/N, wanna eat lunch together?” she asks.
“Sure, I was actually planning to ask you the same thing”

robin cuddling headcannons
cuddling should be robin buckley's middle name, because wow she's so good at it <3
reader: gender neutral (nb/female ofc because robin <3)
characters: robin buckley
genre: fluff. fluff. fluff.
spoiler warning?: none
lmao i haven't posted in a lil while but i needed comfort, ill work on requests soon and will most likely find some motivation when vol 2 comes out <3 anxiety getting the best of me so we gonna write some robin fluff today boys <33
Tumblr media
• Robin isn't the best at picking up on what you want, so you need to explicitly say that you would like to cuddle. Communication is the key to any relationship, of course, and she is absolutely happy to cuddle with you! She's been wanting to ask, actually, but she was a bit nervous.
• “Thank you so much for telling me- I really wouldn't have guessed, well, I kinda did when you laid your head on my shoulder the other day but I wasn't sure! I was like "maybe they want me to hold them closer" but then I was like "I'm probably reading into this too much" and then I got worried because I was kind of scared of doing the wrong thing and- ... I'm rambling again, shoot- I'm not gonna apologize this time, I promise! Let's cuddle.”
• She really doesn't mind whether she's the big spoon or the little spoon, she'll do either! It really just depends on your preference, she loves holding you and being held. However, she prefers being the little spoon an teeny tiny bit. She won't say it, but the way she snuggles into your chest shows something.
• When she's laying on top of you, she has both arms wrapped around your waist and her hands pressed against your back. Her head lays on the left side of your chest, her ear pressed against it so she can listen to your heartbeat. She also loves it when you rub her back, it makes her chest feel warm and fuzzy. She'll usually fall asleep like that, rambling to you until her words turn to gibberish as your heartbeat lulls her to sleep. It's an adorable sight.
• As the big spoon, Robin holds you really tight at first and her grip slowly loosens. She adores playing with your hair and gently scratching your head, she would do anything to make you feel good. She would constantly ask if what she was doing was right, too much, too little, but she eventually gets the hang of it. She loves to stare up at the ceiling while you're in her arms like this and just think. Whether that be out loud, or in her head, you don't mind. You're probably out like a light, her clothes are always insanely soft.
• Cuddling with Robin is one of the most wonderful experiences, and you two end up cuddling quite a bit. It helps you both sleep at night, and Robin finds it the most relaxing thing to do at the end of the day. She loves making you feel good, it makes her feel good.

My headcannon is that no one in the party would feel the need to give them the shovel talk because they know Eddie and Steve well enough to know that they gave the shovel talk to each other. (Edit: Sorry, I meant to themselves, lmao)
Steve: *talking aggressively to his reflection in the mirror* If you hurt this guy, I will give you another concussion, asshole.
Robin: 🤨
Meanwhile, in the Munson trailer, Wayne was watching his nephew do the same exact thing.
Eddie: *glaring at his reflection* Listen up, motherfucker, if you hurt this angel I will reign hellfire and cast you out as Dungeon Master, got me?
Wayne: 🙄

Reader has their nips pierced and poor Robbie doesn’t know what to do! She’s just stuttering and drooling poor thing!! Let her lick them<3
😵‍💫 SMUT under the cut
*ੈ‧₊˚
With an open mouth and wide eyes, Robin stared at the pretty swells of your tits— watching them rise and fall with each breath you took, drool collecting at the corner of her lips and beginning to slip, just itching to have your pretty nipples between them and have a taste of the cool metal bars that peaked out.
It all started out as some giggly stupor— innocent at first, asking poor Robbie if she’d seen a girl’s tits before.
“I’ve seen them in movies—” she said, stuttering over her words, cheeks starting to flush. “b-but not in real life.”
“Did you— did you wanna see mine?” You asked, fingers fiddling with the hem of your shirt and gazing up at her from beneath your lashes. “Y’know, for experimental purposes.”
“Yes! I mean— yeah, that sounds— nice.”
So, all giggly and flushed, you lifted you shirt up and Robin raised her hands, eager to touch before settling them back into her lap. She needed your approval first.
And once you snapped the latch that supported your bra, you could hear her shaky exhale once the weight of your tits fell, bra tossed to the floor and nipples all stiff and pebbled. But the thing that had her breath hitching, nestled between both of your nipples, two metal bars, glinting in the light of the lamp beside you and a little whimper escaped when she caught sight of the little hearts that adorned either side of the jewellery.
Oh, fuck. She didn’t realise you had your nipples pierced!
“D’you like them, Robbie?” You preened, all sickly-sweet and eyes all honeyed for her, fluttering your lashes and purposefully shifting closer, causing your tits to jiggle crudely.
She nodded, eyes still wide as saucers, unable to shift her gaze from the soft mounds and stiff peaks, her fingers twitching, the need to touch consuming her and she had to clamp her thighs shut, heat swelling between them, her clit throbbing furiously.
“C-can I touch them?” Her eyes finally flicked to yours, eager and shuffling her knees along the carpet to get even closer, feeling the heat radiate from your warm skin, and the slight sheen of your flesh in the stuffy room.
You nodded prettily, palms on her thighs, smoothing up and down, thumbs dipping cheekily between the apex of her clenching thighs.
“Of course— want you to.”
And you expected her to bring her hands up, feel the weight of your tits in her palms and tweak your little buds with her thumbs, though she did no such thing— instead, lowering her face to nuzzle against your skin before seeking out a nipple and wrapping her lips around it, suckling deeply, her eyelids fluttering closed at the feeling.
“Oh—” you moaned, pressing a hand to the back of her head, fingers tangling in her tresses and tugging lightly at the roots, whining when she lathered her tongue along the cool metal piercing, nipping at it slightly with her teeth. “such a dirty girl, Robbie.”

I love how in most fics with stobin, Robin is either completely grossed out by Steve’s sex life, or they are both so horrible invasive and truthful with each other that Steve and Robin have no problem talking about sex. Both bring me joy. I love these platonic soulmates.

Eddie and Steve try dating in secret but the kids keep interrupting their date nights or are just always around.
Dustin keeps crashing movie night and insists on sitting between them.
Lucas interrupts their dinner to plot how he’s going to win Max back.
Max bangs on Eddie’s trailer in the middle of the night because she wants to show them something cool El can do. (Eddie and Steve struggle to put their clothes back on in record time).
Mike constantly hovers around Eddie whenever he gets the chance, and Will tags along. Mike constantly complains about Steve being there, but Will defends Steve. (Mike and Will refuse to admit they have small crushes on Eddie and Steve respectively).
When they all show up on their one month anniversary (which Steve and Eddie have both put a lot of thought into and even asked Robin and Nancy to keep the kids away), Steve finally breaks. He tells everyone that they’re dating, and Eddie shyly puts his hair in front of his mouth, so happy that Steve finally told everyone.
Max yells, “Finally! Next up is Robin and Nancy!”
All the kids leave at once to likely disturb the other not so secret couple.

The fruity four go to their 10-year high school reunion and proceed to confuse the shit out of everyone.
None of them have changed exactly. Not really physically, at least. Sure their styles have changed slightly, both of the couples slowly combining wardrobes and wearing each other's clothes. Nancy's style has become somehow more and less relaxed at the same time. Robin's style is way more out there, as is Eddie's somehow. Steve's has become even softer, with more sweaters and worn shirts making it into the mix.
The most confusing thing to everyone else is the dynamic they all share. It's hard to tell who's dating who with tall the casual touches they share. Most of their class also can't understand how Nancy Wheeler is so close to Eddie Munson. Everyone knew that Steve's reputation had plummeted before they all moved out of Hawkins, but Nancy surprised them all.
When people ask about their love lives, they all give equally vague answers, secretly enjoying the chaos. Nancy simply says she's dating someone she went to college with. Robin rambles on with a grin about their first proper date. Eddie claims he's dating the most badass person he's ever met. Steve smiles to himself and just says that he didn't have to look far. It drives several people at the reunion a little crazy, trying to figure out the group's dynamics from those barebone clues.
Overall, the reunion is better than any of the fruity four imagined it would be. They later leave, all giggling to each other about the mild chaos they caused.

Its kinda funny to me that  Steve is always written as having terrible gaydar. Sure he didn't catch Robin in season three , but you wanna tell me Steve “she likes boobies” Harrington cant tell Eddie is queer?  It’s always robin pointing it out to him in fics but theres a funnier way to do this. 
Robin talking about Eddie offhand, saying she wonders if he has a girlfriend that they could invite out with them and Steve starts dying laughing.
“What is it such a crazy idea that someone like him could have a girlfriend? Not everyone is as suave as you.” She jokes and Steve laughs even harder “You mean Munson? Seriously? The man is gayer than a fruit fly” He says it like it’s obvious. “He is not! I would know better than you do. I’m pretty sure you even saying that is nine types of offensive by the way-” She’ rambles “Wanna make a bet?” Steve asks “Yeah i’ll take those odds. Still don’t know why you would even think that” 
A week later, spread out over Steve’s couch late at night and trading stories. Eddie somehow starts talking about his ex-boyfriend and Steve shoots up with an “I TOLD YOU” pointing at Rob  and making her fork over ten bucks.

i think robin buckley really liked dinosaurs when she was younger so she read all the books in the library about them and would go into the toy store to play with the dinosaur toys for hours but not buy them since she didnt have any money and one day somebody buys her favorite dinosaur and eventually she moves on despite how heartbroken she is and it turns out that the person who bought the dinosaur was nancy wheeler and robin finds out because she sees the dinosaur on nancy’s shelf and says “it was you!” and nancy is like “pardon?”

I love the ambiguity of "Eddie", so I developed this headcannon.
One day, Eddie is hanging out at Family Video, pestering Robin and Steve when he finally says something aggravating enough that Robin says "Edward Munson!" To which Eddie responds, "Whose that?"
"You?" Steve interjects "Did you forget your own name?"
"Hmm, sorry sweetheart, but my name isn't Edward"
Robin and Steve look at eachother before turning back to Eddie with twin masks of confusion.
"Edwin?" Robin asks
"No"
"Eddison" Steve tries
"No"
"Then what is it?!" Demands Robin.
But Eddie likes this game too much to give it up now, so he refuses to tell them and for the next several weeks Steve and Robin randomly try out possible names.
Steve hands Eddie a beer saying, "there you go... Edmund?"
"No."
"Fuck."
Robin waives Eddie's late fee, "All clear... Edgar?"
"Hmmm, no."
"Eddington?"
"The fuck?"
"Just go"
Perhaps one day they even find themselves in the library, and Harrington finds The Big Book of Baby Names, slams it down on the tables, opens to E, finds where E-D names start, and starts listing them off to a smugly monotonous chorus of "No. No. No. No. He'll no. No. No...."
They shouldn't be this bothered, but now it eats at them. What could his name possibly be?
My headcannon ends with a choose your own ending.
Option A:
Eddie isn't short for anything. His parents literally and legally named him Eddie.
Option B:
Robin is ready to burst with not knowing. One day she says, "Jesus Eddie, if you don't tell me I'm going to scream!"
"Ah! That's actually pretty close"
"What, screaming?" Steve asks
"Yep"
It's another week before Robin thinks of the painting "The Scream" by Edvard Munch.
edVARD! With a V.
She screams anyway.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
。・:*˚:✧。
You and Robin walk into the adoption center, you’re picking up the puppy you and Robin decided to take. The dog was an adorable mutt: his left ear was floppy while the right was pointy, has the prettiest brown spot that’s shaped like a heart, everything about him just made you fall in love. You go into the counter and smile at the man behind it, “hi! I’m Y/N Y/L/N and this is Robin Buckley, we”re here to pick up our dog”
“Oh yes, please come right this way” the man smiles back, picking up the clipboard filled with paperwork as he guides you both to where your dog is. You grab unto Robin’s arm and meet her eyes, you start to feel some sort of buzz flow through your veins as your excitement starts to grow bigger the nearer you get to the dog. The man opens the door and you finally see him, he runs to you both - his tail wagging so much he could fly. He’s just as happy as you are.
“Hiii, we’ll take you home now” Robin coos, kneeling down to pet him.
You sign the papers and carry your dog to the car. Robin settles him to her lap, “what should we name you hmm?” she asks. “What about Tucker?” you suggest. His ears starts to perk up at the name and look at you, “seems like he loves it, Tucker it is” Robin chuckles. You start the car and Tucker starts to get shaky by the sudden sound of the engine. You gently rub his side and try to calm him down.
“Don’t worry, your mommies are gonna take great care of you”

hc’s for working with steve and robin? [platonic friendships] <3
platonic working with robin and steve headcannons
working with robin and steve is pretty fun, even though it's entirely chaotic!
reader: gender neutral
characters: steve harrington, robin buckley
genre: slice-of-life!
spoiler warning?: light, seasons 3-4
notes: hiya, thank you so much for requesting! i love platonic headcannons, they're so mf underrated <33
Tumblr media
• Steve and Robin were very quick to welcome a new co-worker! Steve was of course excited, hoping to pile a bunch of his work onto you so he could slack off, but Robin didn't let that happen. Steve reluctantly let that idea go, although he really wanted to not work. He was pretty pouty for the rest of the day.
• You started working at Scoops Ahoy together, and Robin was quick to show you the ropes. She explained everything pretty well, going off topic a couple of times. You didn't mind, though, which was the first green flag. It made both Robin and Steve happy.
• You were the one they go to for difficult customers, Steve not wanting to let a sarcastic comment turn them away, and Robin not wanting to talk them into a headache. You thought they were both fine, but you insisted! They did a lot of the scooping, you did a lot of the talking. Unless Steve wanted to sweet talk some of the girls.
• Robin didn't like working with older customers. For some reason, they didn't like her that much, so she practically hid in the back while you and Steve worked with the elderly. Steve easily got frustrated, though. He couldn't flirt his way out of making the old women upset. I mean, he probably could, be he certainly didn't want to.
• On breaks, you all played stupid games, like blindfolding each other and trying to guess the awful ice cream combinations. It was fun, but once you shoved the spoon too far down Steve's throat and you had to stop him from choking. You felt so bad, but Robin couldn't help but laugh. She was on the floor by the end of the ordeal, and Steve could barely tell her to shut up because his voice was so hoarse.
• Eventually, you three moved to the family video store, and the dynamic remained the same. It was still just as fun, and chaotic. On breaks, you two looked though the files and made fun of a bunch of people's movie taste. That led to a lot of debates, and most of the time it led to movie nights. You had to prove to them that your favorite movie was good, after all!
• You all hang out outside of work all the time, you can't count how many times Robin and Steve have showed up at your house unprompted. By themselves, or together, they make at least bi-weekly appearances. You usually just hang out in the back yard and do stupid things to escape boredom, or take over the television in the living room.
• You three are really good friends, and you love each other a lot. You can't help but consider yourself lucky, they're some of the best people you've ever met. Even if they are crazy, they're basically your family at this point. What in the world would you do without them?

corroded coffin has gotten really popular. im talking 'a stadium full of people for a single show' popular. steve, being eddie's husband, wants to be at every one of his concerts, but can't. and the day that eddie breaks the news of his world tour to steve, a flood of emotion sweep over him. of course, he's ecstatic, because people want to see cc play!
but, he knows he won't be able to go. steve has never left hawkins, and he's afraid something will happen if he does. that's part of the reason. the other part is his job. he can't miss a lot of days, let alone however long the tour takes. he teaches kids, and he can't just stop in the middle of a year. eddie knows steve can't go, but promises to call him everyday.
eddie's flight is early in the morning. steve drives him there, and robin and nancy tag along. they don't know how long it'll be. the drive is mostly quiet, beside the cool breeze from the windows. everyone knows how sad this goodbye is going to be. it's not forever. eddie kept repeating that, hugging steve. robin and nancy weren't sure if he was trying to convince himself or steve, but they were on the verge of tears. eddie and steve share one last kiss, and he walks away with his guitar case slung over one shoulder, and his duffel bag slung over the other.
steve drives home. he's shocked by how much eddie has affected the world. he's upset. over the next year, he keeps imagining eddie playing, and the crowd cheering. imagining him running to eddie on the stage, hugging him. robin and nancy stay over sometimes. the tourism dies down in hawkins. the only reason they were there in the first place is because they wanted to see cc live. eddie knows steve doesn't go out of hawkins, so most of his shows are based there, mostly so steve can watch them. eddie follows through with his promise, calling him every night, bragging about the different foods, and how fancy the hotel is, what some of the fans gave him.
a few more months pass. steve feels numb. eddie is getting tired, and wants more than anything to be back home, with steve. one night, eddie calls steve, and he doesn't pick up. eddie goes into panic mode. he immediately calls robin, and she simply explains the time difference, and how it's 2am in hawkins. eddie's emotions take over, and he just starts to bawl. he misses the morning kisses, he misses steve's smile whenever eddie has a show, he misses not being alone in a bed. and, however nice the fan art, and the gifts may be, he misses steve. he would give anything to be in steve's arms.
turns out, cc finished all of their tour early. he couldn't get in contact with steve, to tell him that he was flying home, and figured it would be better as a surprise. once the band arrives in hawkins, eddie knows steve is at the high school. it's a friday, and around 10 am, so he's teaching a class. perfect. eddie always loved dramatic entrances, and this was an incredible opportunity for one. eddie stops at the front desk, and has to get a visitors pass. he starts walking to steve's classroom, practically bouncing with excitement.
his boots make an echo down the empty hallway, at he makes a stop in front of a door. he quietly knocks. no answer. he knocks again, this time, opening the door, cautiously. steve has his back faced toward him, writing on a chalkboard. the whole class goes silent because 'oh my god superstar eddie munson is standing in our classroom?' one student squeals, and eddie puts a finger over his mouth, getting the kids to stay quiet. as steve is explaining the homework, still faced toward the board, eddie steps closer. eddie has a goofy grin on his face, as he raises his hand. "Mr. Harrington," he says, "what's the homework again?" steve sighs and turns around, and then realizes.
"You guys call him that, right?" eddie asks. steve's mouth is open, and his eyes are glassy. the room is mostly quiet, from confusion, and trying to figure out what the hell eddie munson is doing in their classroom. steve scans eddie's body. eddie's hair is longer, even longer than it was. he's wearing new rings, but still has his wedding ring on his middle finger as he did when he left. the bell rings, and as some of the kids flow out, some ask for signatures, and eddie scribbles something down on a piece of paper for each of them. the last student walks out, admiring the gibberish on their paper. steve stands still, tears slowly running down his face.
eddie steps toward him, and steve runs to eddie, practically jumping into his arms, sobs coming from both of them. robin walks in, and gasps. eddie doesn't let go. he never wants to. steve has some stubble, and his hair has grown out. steve sinks his face deeper in eddie's shoulder. he doesn't want to let go either. god, he's missed this. that part of steve that disappeared when eddie left, is finally there. like a puzzle piece.
eddie is his puzzle piece. the one that fits perfectly into place, and connects the other pieces. he's never loved a person more. robin will always be steve's platonic soulmate, but eddie.. eddie is his not platonic soulmate. and everything is okay again. steve is okay. eddie's okay. no more empty beds, no more envisioning the other's face, no more feeling empty. no more.
