    Summary

    Steve’s always been good at taking care of other people. Eddie’s the first one to notice that maybe Steve needs someone to take care of him, too, and that sometimes all it takes is a little praise to make the noise in his head go quiet.

    Summary

    “I don’t… I don’t have the scars to prove it. But I’ve tried, like… two or three times.”

    “To… To kill yourself?”

    “Yes, Steve, to kill myself.”

    Summary

    “Harrington,” he croaks - god why, why do I have to sound like that in front of him - he clears his throat, continuing, “you couldn’t have done me a favour and let me die in that shithole, spare me from Dustin?”

    Steve finally turns to look at him, grinning madly. Fuck, Eddie thinks, fuck this is so unfair. You’re just standing there looking at me like that, smiling, all broad and pretty and scarred up, fuuuck.

    Alternatively titled: the Steve Harrington bisexual crashout of 1986. Because vecna might be dead- but repressing your feelings (and trying therapeutic D&D with the direct cause of your identity crisis)- is quite enough to be getting on with.

    Summary

    “So are we doing this then?”
    Eddie narrows his eyes.
    Okay. Fine. Skipping foreplay, sure.
    “Doing what, Harrington?”
    Irritation flickers across Steve’s features as he steps forward again, still breathing hard and unevenly. Still red in the face.
    “You’re really going to make me say it?” he whispers. “You want me to ask?”
    No,” Eddie grins, reaching up to tug at the red ascot tied around his stupid little sailor shirt. He leans in closer, hooking a finger into the waistband of his stupid little sailor shorts. His lips brush the shell of Steve’s ear as he speaks, voice pitched soft and low.
    “You’re not going to ask. You’re going to beg.

    Eddie spends his summer learning things about himself – such as the fact that the only thing he enjoys about his dreary summer job at the mall comes in the form of one Steve Harrington: fallen from grace, suited up in a borderline indecent uniform, easy to torment, and wound tighter than a drum.
    Steve spends his summer learning things about himself as a result of Eddie’s habitual tormenting.

    Summary

    "Forgive me if I'm being a little bold but, what's got you all worked up? Pretty boy like you shouldn't be frowning so much."

     

    Steve stands frozen at the question. Looking up to meet the man's stare. "Just...School. Work. Life. The usual..."

     

    The man tsks. "Seems like you could use an outlet." He bites down on the other end of the lemon reaching into his pocket, to pull out a card. "I think I can help with that."

     

    Steve fumbles the card for a moment before looking at it. "What's this?" The card is dark matte grey, with shiny black lettering. It reads:

     

    E.M.

    Dungeon Master @ The Hellfire Club

    (555) 555-5555

     

    He grins, sharp smile on full display. All pretty white teeth and dimples. "Let me know if you're interested. That's my personal number." He sets the lemon peel down on the bar, takes the last sip of his drink and stands up. "Name's Eddie by the way. I assume I'll hear from you soon. Do some research. Until next time, beautiful." He bows dramatically, hair tumbling forward over his face, then saunters out of the bar like that was his only purpose.
