    Summary

    “Why didn’t either of you tell us you were dating?”

    He looks so hurt and indignant in the way only Dustin can, and maybe it’s not too late to run out after Steve and make their case for the beers again if it means the kid’ll stop frowning and looking at Eddie like that. It takes a minute for his words to sink in.

    Eddie blinks. “What.”

    “What do you mean, what? You kissed!”

    “No, we didn’t,” Eddie scoffs.

    Except, yes, they did. Realization crashes over him, the force of it stunning him into silence.

    Steve kissed him. On the lips. Like it was nothing, like it was something they did every day.

    And Eddie hadn’t even blinked or shoved him away or registered it at all, just returned the kiss and went right back to bossing Steve around, as if the whole fucking thing was the most natural thing in the world.

    Fuck.

    Summary

    "What’s scarier than saving the world? Figuring out what to do afterwards. I get it,” Eddie turns on his side, one shoulder on the wall, and grips the front of Steve’s shirt. His face is so close Steve can feel the warmth of his breath. “But we’ve got time now. Right, Steve? We bought us all time. Time to figure all our shit out. Isn’t that what matters?”

    OR

    Steve Harrington struggles to find purpose after the Upside Down.

    (But maybe purpose doesn't have to be big. Maybe it's helping Dustin navigate Sophomore year. Maybe it's reminding Robin to send in college admission letters. Maybe it's Eddie Munson. Maybe).

    Summary

    It all started with a dream, which was already strange enough because Mike didn't dream. Or if he did, he never remembered it afterwards, which was the same thing, really.
    He remembered this dream, though.
    Will had been there.
    Will had been there, wearing strangely tight blue jeans and a band tee of the Clash and slightly smudged black eyeliner and it was weird because Will never wore any of those things, so why would Mike's brain make them up, and then it got worse because Will had smiled at him, in the dream, in a way Will had never smiled at him before, and Mike had held his breath, in the dream, and watched as Will took off his shirt and – and – and –
    Mike screwed his eyes shut, which didn't help, and tried to not think about Will without a shirt on, which didn't work, but he pretended like it did, anyway.
    It just didn't make sense.
    None of it made sense.

    Summary

    “It’s like he can’t help himself.” She says around a scoop of Double Bubblegum. Eddie always chooses the worst flavours, but that still isn’t going to stop Robin from nibbling away at his complementary banana split. “He’s a compulsive flirter. It’s weird. I’m worried for him.”

    “I’m not.” Eddie sighs softly, kind of dreamily, propping his elbow on table and resting his chin on top of his open palm. “It’s special when he flirts with me, though, right?”

    “Don’t flatter yourself.” Robin snorts. 

    --

    In the summer of '85, Robin and Eddie make a bet: ten dollars says Steve Harrington is straight, and Eddie has the whole summer to prove her wrong

    Summary

    “Alright, well if you want to pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend, I’m in.” Robin sighed in relief at Eddie’s words after he had straightened up from where he had been bent over the countertop in hysteria. He held a finger up, stopping her sigh in its tracks. “On one condition!”

    Robin looked at him questioningly, cocking her head to one side. Eddie smirked sharply, licking his tongue over his teeth in a way that definitely didn’t make Steve’s stomach swoop.

    “I get to be the girlfriend.”
    -
    Or: Robin needs a beard and Steve needs to stop feeling so weird about it. Eddie is having a great time.
