hey y’all!! putting out a ton of headcanons tonight so let’s get started :)) might put them in drafts and then post them? or maybe i’ll get to the end of this post and just want to put it out right then. idk lol

anyway, let’s get to our first set of headcanons for the evening, aka trans party headcanons. in each of these headcanons, the character who i’m focusing on is trans and the rest are cis (unless otherwise mentioned). also, whatever gender they are in the show is the gender that they’re transitioning to (ex: mike is ftm, el is mtf).

mike:

mike came out as ftm to will first (naturally) when he was in 5th grade

will had kinda seen this coming? not that it was something he really thought about, but he could see that, as he got older, mike was seeming more and more uncomfortable with his feminine-developing body

they were in the basement one day and mike just kinda blurted it out

and will was like

“...”

“okay”

and that night, will helped mike cut his hair

much to the horror of karen, who didn’t know why mike and will would do that

it clicked years later when mike came out to her

mike gradually came out to the rest of the party, who were all supportive

then he came out to his family (nancy first, then mom, then dad) and came out publicly when he was about 16

dustin took it upon himself to be mike’s personal bodyguard basically

so did max

the two of them pretty much formed the Mike Protection Club

el was super supportive as well, and she loved learning about the science behind being trans

she was the one who used the facts to silence the transphobes

and she always texted mike to make sure he had taken off his binder every night

lucas took mike to the gym to do some weight training together because mike really wanted to build up some muscle

that was mike’s favorite Boy Bonding Time

and when mike and will finally got together, will would always call mike handsome and tell everyone to “look at his perfect boyfriend”, which gave mike butterflies but also a total boost of confidence

also, when he joined hellfire, he was super nervous that he would feel like he didn’t fit in

but it turns out. eddie is also trans

and he became mike’s trans big brother!!

gave him all the tips and advice and made mike feel super comfy in the group

whenever he’s dysphoric, will always cuddles with him and lets him borrow a hoodie and kisses his face and whispers to him about how lovely he is

overall, trans mike is v supported <3

will:

jonathan was 110% the first person will came out to, when will was about 14

jonathan was surprised, but super honored that will had told him first

he picked up extra shifts at his job so he could afford will’s first binder :(

best birthday present ever in will’s opinion, he cried

joyce was the next person he came out to

and she was just overwhelmingly supportive, made sure he knew he was loved

she set up meetings with all his teachers at school to make sure that they knew and would respect him

(even though will told her he could handle it on his own, she just went right into protective mom mode)

will came out publicly when he was 15, and he came out to all his friends at once

not that he didn’t want to tell them individually, or tell them beforehand, but he just wanted to get it all over with at once

all of them gave him SO much support, and sent him super encouraging paragraphs and had one-on-one heart to hearts with him

max and el took him shopping to get a new wardrobe

hopper went along and helped will with all the sizing issues

and he made sure that the employees were gendering him correctly

he’d go around loudly saying things like “how do these feel, SON?”

it was a little embarrassing but really sweet

dustin’s kneejerk reaction was to tell will all the reasons he thought spiderman was trans

which honestly? will totally agreed with

(he went as spiderman for halloween that year after hearing dustin’s theories)

lucas decided to give will. “swagger lessons”

which basically was just lucas giving will cheesy pick-up lines

but will took advantage of this and asked lucas to help him with mannerisms and things he wanted to pick up on, and lucas was completely helpful with that

lucas also reassured will when he came out as gay that being gay didn’t make him any less of a man, because will felt so much like he was a straight girl just pretending

but after lucas’s killer pep talks? there was no doubt in will’s mind that he was valid

mike went over to will’s house the second will had texted them all with his coming out message

he just tackled him in a hug and cuddled him tight and told him how proud he was of him :)

will always felt real and validated and protected around his friends and family <3

lucas:

having always grown up rejecting stereotypical feminine things, everyone always thought lucas was a tomboy

and lucas thought that too, until he heard the term “transgender” and thought about it

erica was the first one he came out to, when he was 12

erica was kinda little at this point

lucas was just playing with her and he casually said that he thought he might be her brother and not her sister

and erica just responded saying that she was glad, because now she could get girls days alone with their mom

but really, erica was so so supportive of her brother, and she loves him so much

lucas came out to the party when he was 13, then to all of his friends at 14, then to his parents and publicly at 15

lucas’s parents were beyond supportive

they immediately signed him up on the boys sports teams

will signed up for these sports with lucas

will’s good at sports, and even though they’re not his favorite pastime, he needed to make sure everyone was treating his bestie right

he and mike dressed as luke and han for halloween

lucas had ALWAYS wanted to dress as han but was too anxious to dress as a male character

dressing as the two of them was actually mike’s idea, and hearing him suggest that just made lucas bubble over with joy

but dressing up as han made him feel so confident

and max was hanging off of lucas’s shoulder telling him just how handsome he looked

max is queen of compliments and the founder of the lucas fan club btw

any time someone so much as throws a questionable look at lucas, el is exploding something in their face

because nobody looks at lucas that way who tf do they think they are?

dustin’s reaction was probably the best though

when lucas came out, dustin just said “sick, you can come in my clubhouse now since it’s boys only!”

like oh my god such a validating feeling for lucas??

also lucas is proud as fuck of his physical glow-up when he goes on t

he just gets infinitely more confident in his appearance and in his expression

when he’s a senior, he wins senior superlative for “best glow-up”

everyone is always just. flaunting after him

but his heart belongs to max <3

and max doesn’t let anyone forget that bc she is so lucky wtf he chose her!!

trans lucas is handsome, confident, loved, and just. perfection

chef’s kiss

dustin:

so we know eddie is trans as well, and having an older trans role model means the WORLD to dustin

seeing an older trans person was just life-changing for dustin

dustin wasn’t out when he met eddie, but he had known that he was trans for a little while at that point

he came out to the party (mike, lucas, and will) when he was about 13, then met eddie, and then came out publicly around 15

eddie really helps him become comfortable with himself and showed dustin just how much he could live authentically and happily

eddie just treats dustin like a little brother and like “one of the guys”, but also treats him like a son lmao

“did you take a binding break yet?” “did anyone bother you today?” “ugh, i know, shark week is the worst. it takes a badass guy to be able to handle it, though.”

also steve?

so supportive. so dad.

immediately teaches dustin how to mow a lawn, telling him that he needs to “pick up the slack” as the “man of the house”

which just felt super validating for dustin to hear

he liked getting to learn that stereotypical masculine stuff, it just made him feel so happy and validated

will and jonathan take dustin out for a boys day

which consists of just anything that gives dustin gender euphoria

for him, that meant going hiking, fishing, and camping at a state park he had always adored

byers brothers best brothers

and the byers sister is the best sister

bc el didn’t let dustin take anyone’s shit

neither did max

el and max teamed up and they helped dustin start a gsa at school

with the girls there to boost his confidence, dustin actually forms a presentation for teachers on how to respect trans students

the presentation is used for years to come

dustin was always capable of this, but he just needed a bit of a push

lucas helps dustin with his style

dustin’s clothing didn’t change much, but he just wanted a little bit of help on becoming more outwardly masculine to match how he felt on the inside

which lucas definitely was able to help him with

whenever dustin gets dysphoric, mike comes over with nerf guns and he and dustin have a nerf battle either around dustin’s house, mike’s house, someone else’s house, or literally just out and about in the hawkins suburbs

dustin’s mom gets him a new bike for his birthday bc his other one felt too girly for him :( <3

in conclusion, trans dustin my beloved

el:

el didn’t really know that being trans was an option

to be honest, she didn’t understand much about the concept of gender growing up, until she escaped brenner and learned more about it

when she realized how she was being perceived, she knew that it wasn’t right

el didn’t even know that what she was feeling was her being trans, but max explained the concept to her when el told her how she was feeling

so i guess you could say el came out to max first, when she was about 16

she then came out to hopper, then joyce, then jonathan, then will, then the rest of the party

she was fully out publicly when she was about 17

el was always stuck with will and jonathan’s hand-me-downs, but max gave her a TON of her old clothes so she felt more comfortable and like herself

not that el disliked wearing her brothers’ clothes by any means, but max’s just felt so validating

max also helped el with some makeup when she started wanting to wear it

and she started doing el’s hair when it grew out longer

nancy was also a HUGE help to el throughout this whole process

completely took this kid under her wing as her little sister

taught her all about how to be confident and independent and proud of her womanhood

max and nancy really worked hand-in-hand here

lucas and dustin were just wonderful with her

whenever el got a new outfit or had a new look that she was confident in, they would call everyone over to have a mini fashion show for her

they’d commentate and hype her up, just showing off el and how happy she was

no one had ever seen el smile as much as she did when she tried her first dress on

when el came out to show them all, mike couldn’t stop staring and saying “pretty” (platonically, of course, but wow, she was STUNNING)

will helped el upcycle some of his hand-me-downs as well, so she felt more comfortable in them

he also took her to his lgbtq+ support group for teens that he attended after coming out as gay

she found so many trans friends there and it was just so therapeutic knowing that she wasn’t alone :)

also joyce and hopper go to parent support group meetings as well

and hopper keeps calling himself transparent

the joke makes el roll her eyes every time she hears it, but secretly, she loves it

overall, el is very supported, would recommend her support system to a friend

max:

max had always known that something was “off” or “different” about her when she was little

she liked doing masculine things, but didn’t like being perceived as a masculine person

after a lot of soul-searching, max came out

fist to lucas, then to everyone else, all in the span of a week when she was 17

she worried that it was “too late” for her to come out but the second she let that thought leave her mouth, will had shut it down and told her that it’s never too late to be herself

which is v v true. so true will. SO true.

mike is max’s number one protector

he insisted on walking her to every single one of her classes personally, even when it was way out of his way

his glares at max’s haters could shoot daggers

and his words DID shoot daggers

dustin gets pronoun pins for everyone in the party when max comes out

they all wear them proudly

and whenever someone misgendered max, he’d just clear his throat and gesture to her pin

will had max over for a number of self care nights after she came out

joyce was thrilled about this and did everything in her power to make max feel pampered and like the strong woman she was

max unfortunately dealt with a decent amount of bullying after coming out

but after el heard about this?

let’s just say no one ever bothered max again

not if they valued their teeth, that is

max was always worried that maybe she was faking it because she didn’t mind dressing or doing traditionally masculine stuff, but el and lucas helped her break down those barriers in her mind

and she was able to accept that she can express herself however she wants and that won’t invalidate her gender

lucas makes sure that max knows that he sees her EXACTLY as who she is. and he really, truly means that

he always calls her beautiful and tells her that he’s the luckiest guy in the world to have such an amazing girlfriend

mans is just constantly showering her in compliments

and through the dysphoria and discomfort with her body, max starts to believe him and gains confidence in herself and in her expression

miss max mayfield is just so valid and we love her so much

hope you guys liked these!! gonna do the teens next <3

It’s a little after eleven when Eddie finally manages to get Tarja to bed. It’s hard for her without her plushie. And really, Eddie is very thankful having a hyper-fixation with her toy seems to be the only ‘consequence’ of having divorced parents Tarja seems to have right now. He always worries if having two homes and constantly moving between them is good for her or not. Especially with Tommy being Tarja’s other dad, but against all odds, he’s good to her. So their kid is doing just fine. She’s happy. And if she’s happy, Eddie is happy.

He’s getting ready to open a beer and relax when there’s a knock on the door. He smiles, assuming is Steve bringing Toothless over and almost knocks his beer to the floor when he opens the door.

Steve looks… well he looks amazing, dressed to the nines. Must’ve been date night. But his eyes are red and puffy, his face covered in dark blotches, and his lips are swollen like he’s been biting them too much.

He’s hugging Toothless to his chest and he smiles at Eddie when he sees him, but he looks so sad it breaks his heart.

Eddie throws the beer behind him, sure it will land on the couch and cradles Steve’s face between his hands, “What did that asshole do?

Steve leans into his touch and shuts his eyes for a moment before sighing and stepping away from him, walking inside and sitting on the couch still holding Toothless like a lifeline.

“Nothing, he was just-” Steve shakes his head and chuckles darkly, “He’s just so mean,”

Eddie drops to his knees in front of him and dips his head to look Steve in the eye just like he did that day in the park.

“Break up with him,” he says.

“I can’t.”

“Tommy doesn't deserve you, Steve. You are worth so much more than what that asshole makes you feel. You deserve better. More. Everything,” Eddie pleads, placing his hands on Steve’s knees and squeezing, “If it’s because of Tarja, we’ll figure something out, ok? Lots of people keep in contact with their parent’s significant other after they break up” He rushes, the speech he didn't have quite prepared last week coming out of him in a single breath, “We are friends, right? So you can still visit and see her. Visit me. You don’t have to stop being a part of our lives.”

Steve is staring at him right now like Eddie just gifted him the moon and he’s so beautiful it’s kind of hard for Eddie to keep eye contact, but he squeezes Steve’s knees again to ground himself and does. Steve needs to know he’s very serious about this. About him.

Eyes shining, Steve takes a deep breath and nods slowly, a tear falling down his cheek that Eddie follows with his eyes and watches until it hides under Steve’s v-neck shirt.

“Hey, even I didn’t put up with Tommy's shit for Tarja’s sake and I birthed her,” he jokes awkwardly, trying to make him laugh and feels like doing a little victory dance when Steve snorts cutely,

“Okay,” he hiccups.

“Yeah?” Eddie smiles back at him, relieved.

“Yeah,” Steve sighs, “Fuck Tommy.” And drops back on the couch, looking exhausted, “Can I stay here tonight?” he asks in a whisper, like he’s afraid Eddie will say no. As if.

“Yeah, of course,” Is what he answers, and has half a mind to invite him into his bed but knows it’s a terrible idea. So he lends Steve his favorite flannel pajamas and sets blankets and a pillow on the couch and they say their goodnights.

And if he does a little dance when he closes the door to his room, no one is there to see.

In the morning, Steve stays for breakfast. And attempts to kill Eddie by making his heart explode, cooking it himself from scratch with Tarja’s help, who is so happy she won’t stop running around the kitchen making Toothless fly and sing about ‘happy family breakfast time’.

It’s actually hard to tell if she’s happier to have her plushie back or that Steve is there. Eddie, on the other hand, knows exactly what he’s happiest about. Death by tenderness. Is that a thing? He amuses himself thinking about a couple csi’s with sunglasses saying it,

“He died because he witnessed something too cute,”

“Ah yes, death by fondness. I’ve seen it before.”

After, Eddie walks him to the door and Steve smiles sweetly at him, and holds his hand, squeezing it once before letting go, “Well, see you. I guess,” he says bashfully and there’s a moment there, a second where time stops and Eddie thinks he should kiss him. Wants to kiss him, needs to kiss him.

But he doesn’t. Because Steve is still dating Tommy, and just because he said he was going to break up with him doesn’t mean he wants to start something new with Eddie.

Eddie himself called him his friend for the first time last night for christ sake. ‘Fucking chill’ he thinks to himself.

🧸

And then a week goes by without hearing a word from Steve. But Eddie doesn't hold it against him.

At first, he figures he needs time to think but then he starts to wonder if he really is going to break up with Tommy. Four days in, he gets paranoid about it. Maybe Steve got brainwashed into thinking Eddie is bad for him. Maybe Tommy told him Eddie was putting ideas in his head, that he shouldn’t talk to him anymore… With him telling Steve to break up with his boyfriend and all...

He’s well aware of how manipulative Tommy can be and has seen the way he belittles Steve to keep him around, so he knows it’ll be hard for Steve to actually go through with it.

And he can’t exactly show up at Tommy’s and steal Steve away, no matter how appealing the idea might be. The only thing he can do is just think of Steve, wish him well, and send him strength to do what he needs to do. At the end of the day, it needs to be his decision. His choice.

As Tommy’s week with Tarja approaches he starts getting more and more anxious, wondering if it’ll be Steve or Tommy who picks her up.

When the day finally arrives, and the doorbell rings, Tarja runs to open the door and Eddie peeks his head through the hallway.

“Daddy!” Tarja screams.

“Hey, Tata! You ready?” Tommy says and Eddie steps into the hall to greet him too.

“Not yet!” Tarja chuckles and Tommy smiles at her,

“Okay, go get ready. I’ll wait here,”

Eddie walks to the door and leans on the doorframe, “Hey,”

“Hi. Long time no see,” Tommy says and then adds, “You look great,”

“You don’t,” Eddie answers, because it’s true. He looks like shit. Greasy hair, bags under his eyes, chapped lips, wrinkles on his clothes, “What happened?”

“Steve broke up with me.”

Eddie’s eyes go wide and he smiles, he doesn’t even try to hide it, “He did?”

“Don’t smile, fucker,” Tommy says but there’s no heat behind it. He knows he deserves it.

“Sorry,” Eddie says, not sorry at all.

“Stop,” Tommy whines because Eddie’s smile is actually getting bigger,

“Sorry,” he repeats and then clears his throat, “Did he tell you why?”

“Because I’m a horrible person,” Tommy groans.

“Hey, the first step is to ad-”

“To admit it, yeah, yeah. I know” Tommy interrupts him, groaning again.

Eddie sighs, and punches Tommy’s shoulder lightly, “Look, Tommy, I’m just going to say this because, well… you are pathetic. You need to do better.” And then he points to his back, to where Tarja’s disappeared to get her stuff, “She’s going to grow up and realize you are an awful person and she’s not going to want you in her life. And I’m not going to dissuade her from it, because I already don’t want you to be in mine, you know that, right?”

Tommy looks at him seriously and then nods once, fast and hard. Like he gets it. Like he agrees and is determined to change. And Eddie hopes for Tarja’s sake he is. But knows, deep in his heart, that either way, she’s going to be fine.

“Also, just a heads up. I’m in love with Steve and I’m going to ask him out,” he adds in a rush when he hears Tarja running up behind him.

“You are shitting me,” Tommy whispers, shocked and clenching his teeth.

Eddie laughs, “Nope,” he says, closing his lips loudly around the P.

“Eddie,” Tommy warns him like he’s waiting for Eddie to say he's joking.

“What? I hear he’s single,” Eddie smirks.

“You motherfuc- Hey Tata!” Gathering Tarja in his arms, Tommy drops the subject but he glares at Eddie as he kisses Tarja’s cheek goodbye and murmurs ‘unbelievable’ as he’s leaving. Eddie closes the door and starts laughing at the look on Tommy’s face.

He needs to call Steve.

He tries a couple of times but he doesn’t pick up and he starts worrying Steve might not actually want to talk to him, and then there’s a knock on the door but Eddie, too preoccupied with his anxiety, opens without looking, thinking Tarja forgot something.

When he doesn't hear her, Eddie looks up from his ‘ignored calls’ screen to see nonother than Steve standing there, looking nervous and like a fucking dream with a bouquet of flowers in his hands. A fucking bouquet of flowers. For him. For Eddie. All different shades of red, because he knows is his favorite color.

Eddie just blinks at him a couple of times and Steve flushes even more and drops the hand holding up the flowers, scratches the back of his neck nervously, “This was stupid, the flowers were fucking stupid. They are stupid. I’m stupid, right?”

A laugh bubbles out of Eddie and he grabs him by the scruff of his shirt and pulls him inside. He closes the door once they are both in and slams Steve against it, crushing their lips together. Steve circles his arms around Eddie and holds him close, instantly returning the kiss with fervor.

They kiss as if it were fate. They kiss until it's hard to breathe and Eddie pulls away only to kiss him again, and again, and again.

“Not stupid,” he murmurs between kisses and feels Steve’s smile against his lips.

Eventually, Eddie takes a step back and lets Steve into his home properly, “Hi,” he says cheesily.

“Hi,” Steve says back grinning, then he lifts up the bouquet again, which is now completely ruined by him still holding it strongly while they made out like crazy, and his smile drops,

“Shit,” he pouts cutely, god Eddie wants to eat him. He laughs and takes the flowers anyway, putting them in an empty glass bottle, because he doesn’t own a flower vase, because he’s a normal human being. ‘Who the fuck owns a flower vase?’

“Come here,” he says, holding out both hands for Steve to take and follow him.

Steve takes his hands but doesn't move, instead swings them from side to side, “Wait, let's talk,”

Fuck, yeah. They should. That’s a good idea. Fuck. Damn, Steven Whatever-The-Fuck-Is-His-Middle-Name Harrington and his sensible and very logical choice…

Eddie huffs exaggeratedly making Steve chuckle and redirects them to the couch, where they sit still holding hands, “Alas,” he says dramatically, “You are right, we should talk. I actually wanted to ask you out properly, not debauch you the second you walked through the door. Sorry about that” he lies, not sorry at all, again.

Steve blushes and smiles, drawing little circles with his thumbs on Eddie’s hands, “Yeah me too. I wanna do this right. Ask you out. Go on dates. I think we should take this slow,”

Eddie makes a face and groans at that. He doesn't want to take it slow. He wants Steve to move in right now or something. Steve rolls his eyes amused at his interruption and keeps going,

“I came here to ask you out the right way because I want you to know I’m committed. But we should think about how this will affect Tarja… and Tommy too. We should go out a few times, spend some time alone, and I want you to meet my friends and my parents and I want to meet your friends and your uncle too and just do this properly and-”

Eddie interrupts him with a kiss, he can’t take it anymore, he’s been dying to kiss Steve for months now and he’s so sweet and thoughtful it makes Eddie insane, makes him feel like he needs to ruin him, but in a nice way, like with devotion and love.

Steve lets go of his hands to wrap his arms around Eddie’s waist and hoists him until he’s straddling Steve. Eddie leans his elbows on Steve’s shoulders, and buries his hands in his hair, pulling and messing with it.

“Okay but have you considered having hard, hot, wet sex, and then maybe we do what you said?” He asks panting against Steve’s lips and actually feeling how that punches the air out of him.

He hugs Eddie closer to his chest and whines, “Yeah okay, we can do it your way,” and gets up, lifting Eddie with him as if he were weightless. Eddie squawks and laughs all the way to his room.

🧸

They spend the week together, talking, eating, drinking, laughing and fucking. Except it’s more than that because when Eddie is inside Steve, with his tongue, his fingers, or his strap, it feels like more. It feels like love. Like fate.

Steve, still determined to take things slow, doesn’t stay there all the time, going back to Robin’s where he moved back to after breaking up with Tommy. He actually brings her over one day and the three of them spend the afternoon together. Eddie decides they are going to be best friends immediately because Robin is hilarious and merciless. When Steve gets back the next day he kisses Eddie so good and hard his knees almost give out on him and tells him he has Robin’s seal of approval. Something he knows Tommy never got.

When the week passes Eddie says goodbye theatrically as if they were cross-star lovers in a bad soap opera and Steve chuckles and calls him ridiculous but kisses him so passionately that Eddie drags him right back inside and they say goodbye again a few hours later.

They had decided to wait until Eddie talked to Tarja about her feelings over Tommy’s and Steve’s breakup and whether she still wanted Steve around or not before having him over again.

But when Tarja gets back home she’s gloomy and silent. She hugs Eddie in greeting when she arrives and then spends the rest of the day lying face down on the floor and occasionally sighing loudly, obviously trying to make Eddie ask her what’s wrong.

And really, Eddie shouldn't find it as funny as he does, but he thinks about calling Wayne and telling him he gets it now when Wayne used to tell him he had too much personality.

Eventually, he lies on the floor next to her and asks. Tarja looks at him with big sad eyes and says, “I haven't seen Steve in a million years! And Daddy said he is not his boyfriend anymore! So I’ll never see him again and I miss him”

Eddie coos at her, “I’m sorry you miss him little dragon, but you can totally see him again! Would you like me to call him? Since he’s my friend too?” Already trying to strategize on how to tell her they are more than friends.

Tarja lights up and jumps off the floor and onto Eddie, punching the breath out of him, “Yes! Yes! Call Steve! Steve smiles more when he’s with you than he did with daddy anyway. Why don’t you boyfriend him instead?”

Well… that was easy.

He chuckles and shakes his head, “That’s a great idea sweety, go grab my phone,”

Tarja runs and grabs Eddie’s phone off the table and hands it to him, he doesn’t bother getting off the floor so she kneels beside him listening attentively as he dials Steve’s number.

“Hi, handsome, you talked with Tarja already?” Steve greets him after it rings twice.

“Yeah about that, turns out Tarja talked to me, actually,” he chuckles, “Hi, by the way”

“Hi,” Steve repeats lovingly and laughs, “What do you mean?”

“She had this awesome idea!” he says winking at her and she covers her mouth with her tiny hands to hide her giggles, “That, since you are not with Tommy anymore, you should be my boyfriend instead,” he continues, voice going soft and chuckles when he hears Steve's breathless ‘oh’ on the other side of the line, “Come over?”

“Of course, gimme an hour? I'm with a client” Steve hums and Eddie whispers he’ll give him anything he asks for and hangs up.

An hour later Tarja is still lying on the floor, only now it’s with papers and crayons spread all around her when the doorbell rings. She looks up at Eddie excitedly and he nods at her, “Go on then”

Tarja runs to the door and opens it wide to reveal Steve standing there as beautiful as ever, giving Eddie a deja vu of the first time he saw him.

“Papa Steve!” Tarja yells and jumps up to hug him.

Steve gasps and falls to his knees with her in his arms and looks up at Eddie with shocked wet eyes.

‘So much for taking it slow,’ Eddie thinks with a smirk.

Fin.
