    Summary

    Steve leans back, letting his head fall against the wall as he takes a deep breath.

    “Why doesn’t he let you do what you want?” Eddie asks, as if they haven’t had several lengthy late-night conversations about the complexities of Steve’s relationship with his father.

    Eddie links his pinky with Steve’s for moral support.

    Summary

    “I can’t do this anymore, Eds,” Steve whispered, swirling the whiskey around in his cup. “It’s getting to be too much for me. I don’t know how much more I can handle.”

    Approaching Steve as if he were a wounded animal, Eddie gently placed his hands on the brunette’s shoulders, rubbing soft circles into them.

    In front of Steve sat a letter, its contents blurred out by the tears that had come from Steve’s eyes when he first opened it.

    “What did this one say?” Eddie asks gently.

    Steve sniffles, taking a sip of the whiskey before he begins to speak, “He knows where we live.”

    ~~~

    Or, Eddie’s a famous rockstar who has a stalker. Steve’s just trying to hang on.

    Summary

    “Well, look what the cat dragged in! Don’t you have a Cocomo or something to be sipping on, Harrington?” Eddie teases as Steve takes his cup, and if Eddie moves it in his hand so their fingers brush when he takes it, well, Eddie’s just fucking resourceful, okay? He’s like a rat, he’lll scrounge for scraps of serotonin wherever his grubby little hands can get them. This morning, it just so happens to come in the form of trying to get a rise out of King Steve himself. And yeah, okay, Eddie will bite. The Wheelers seem to have the incoming drinks under control, so Eddie presses his palms into the countertop to lean over it a little and lick his lips as he nears Steve. They taste like salty sweat and sugar and goddamn he cannot wait to get home and shower. 

    ( That, he thinks, that is when he can let himself think about Steve Harrington’s ass. ) 

    “It’s okay, you can say it. Your coffee’s not as good. We won’t judge you, babe, we already know.”

    Summary

    Steve opens his mouth and closes it. Eddie can’t believe it. Why the hell is Steve so nervous in this situation?

    “What?” Eddie says. “Just say it, man. You’re starting to freak me out.”

    Steve tilts his head. “I was just thinking,” he draws out, looking at Eddie. “Mike and Will need someone to lead by example and show them that being in a relationship is possible.”

    Eddie stares at him, then scowls. “Are you fucking with me right now?” he asks. “I’m not in a relationship.”

    “I know,” Steve says, quieter. “I’m offering. We could do it.”

    “What?” Eddie asks, because what.

    Summary

    It’s the Steddie Tattoo Shop AU that nobody asked for!

    Eddie gets the hell out of dodge and winds up working in a tattoo shop on Indiana. Maybe gets a couple more tattoos, couple of piercings too. Maybe gives Steve a lil crisis in the process when they run into each other a couple of years down the line.

     

    Rating is for later chapters. You know there’s gonna be a little smut somewhere along the line.
