Summary
Steve Harrington drags Eddie Munson out of Hell. They become roommates, close friends, and both men are convinced that's all it is.
And if they sometimes encroach on one another's personal space, sometimes share a bed, and stare at one another like the other hung the moon and stars, well, that's no one's business but their own.

Summary
“You’re thinking too loud. Just relax.”
Eddie melts against him, exhausted and pliant, inhaling the scent of Steve’s body wash. He sinks in, nose pressed against the crook of Steve’s neck, and breathes even, steady breaths that counterbalance the ragged desperate attempts from less than an hour ago.
Something about Steve feels like home, and Eddie is only familiar with houses.
---
Or, Eddie can't sleep after the events in the Upside Down. Steve happens to have a solution.

Summary
“Don’t worry about me, Ed. Just let me take care of you, okay?”
Just let me take care of you.
The same words Steve said months earlier when Eddie was loath to even let Steve get him a glass of water. They mean something different now, a fiery swell that takes Eddie down, but it’s always been about this, hasn’t it? Letting himself be cared for without the expectation of returning the favor. Trusting that Steve won’t hurt him, that he’ll catch him no matter how hard he falls.
Eddie nods, desperate to know what Steve’s hands on him can actually do outside of the confines of his fantasies.
“Need you to use your words for me, okay? Do you want me to take care of you? Make you feel good?” His pinky finger teases the hem of his boxers and Eddie bites his bottom lip, head tipping back against Steve’s shoulder.
“Yeah, yeah, I want you to take care of me.” Relief floods his chest as he says it out loud, his brain finally quiet and his body loose.
Or, Eddie Munson lets Steve Harrington take care of him in ways he'd never dared to imagine.

Summary
“I just don’t think it would be good,” Eddie said in a rush. “Okay?”
Steve stared at him. When it became clear Eddie wasn’t messing with him, he laughed.
“Dude,” he said. “It’s jerking off. I promise you I’m good at that.”
[Thanks to Vecna-related injuries, Eddie hasn’t jerked off for months. Steve graciously lends a helping hand. Feelings happen.]

Summary
Eddie knows he’s rambling, but once it’s out there, he can’t take it back. He’s freaking out about Steve, but it’s about everyone who came before him, too—about Maggy McInnis and her friends laughing at him in the hallway, every teacher who wrote him off for not being able to sit still and turn in his homework, and every friend who got sick of him for not listening and showing up late.
Steve hasn’t had a chance to get close to Eddie, and Eddie doesn’t want to run that risk. If Steve gets too close to him, he’ll see that Eddie’s brain is all scrambled up, and he won’t want him anymore. Eddie likes Steve right where he is, and he doesn’t want to lose that by being too much.
And Eddie is always too much.
