    Summary

    It's not fair, the news he was given. He'll never outrun his violent teenage years. It's getting harder and harder to find value in himself with the extensive list of health issues he's accumulating.

    He's dreading telling his professional-musician-boyfriend the news, there’s no way that’s gonna go well. Part of Steve’s appeal to Eddie is that Steve has always gone to all of his shows. Even before they started dating, he’d show up to their Hideout gigs and compliment Eddie on little moments of each performance that he enjoyed. Steve’s pretty sure it’s what won Eddie over in the end.

    So what’s gonna happen when the very foundation of their relationship is pulled out from under them? Will Eddie go looking for someone else to listen to music alongside? Lord knows there are plenty of men who would die to be in Steve’s shoes.

    Or: Steve Harrington is avoiding telling his professional-musician-boyfriend, Eddie, that he's going deaf because he's worried about what will happen when he does.

    Summary

    At the beginning of his rant, lecture, whatever, Hottie stares right at him. He has a really intense stare. Pretty brown eyes set in a prettier face with even prettier hair on top of his head. Eddie gets distracted by all that pretty and by trying to make his point.

    And he doesn’t notice until halfway through that Hottie isn’t looking at him anymore. He’s looking at his friend.

    Eddie looks at her, too. Looks at her confused and focused expression. Looks at her hands moving rapidly.

    Oh. G-d.

    Hottie’s deaf, isn’t he?

    OR

    It's the first time Corroded Coffin goes on tour, and a well-intentioned Eddie Munson puts his foot straight into his mouth when he tries to talk to a light tech. God bless the power of stupid apology songs, shared experience, and twenty four hour diners for giving him a second, better chance.

    OR

    A Deaf guy and an amputee walk into a twenty four hour diner for a combination first date and apology meal.

    Summary

    After a few months since Steve was diagnosed as hard of hearing, he’d gotten really good at lip reading. He was pretty subtle with it, so most of the time, nobody even noticed. He’d memorized the speech patterns of the people he was closest to, and could usually tell what they were saying even from far away. Except for one person. Eddie.

    Eddie was theatrical and frantic in his speech. He talked fast. He had a habit of pulling his hair in front of his face and partially covering his mouth when he was anxious or excited. It was infuriating, and intriguing at the same time. Steve would glance down at Eddie’s lips frequently whenever they were talking. Sometimes, he’d just look from afar, studying how Eddie’s mouth moved when he talked. He wanted to figure it out. He had to. Even if it meant his eyes were always on Eddie even in group settings. If he couldn’t look away when Eddie smiled, watching how his eyes lit up and how the corners of his mouth always scrunched up in the same familiar pattern, It wasn’t his fault, was it? It was definitely only because he was determined to learn to read Eddie’s lips.
    Nothing else. That was it.
    ..Right?

After rescuing the kids, Pirate captain Eddie Munson tried keeping the kids away from their abuser, Lieutenant Steve Harrington. Misunderstandings occur. This is heavily inspired by St. Elmo's Fire by finx although that hasn't been updated in 3 years. So I don't know if they mind (You can always ask me to take this down.) https://archiveofourown.org/works/44633647

    Summary

    Eddie imagines that Steve Harrington probably thinks that he is real hot shit. On top of being a rich prom king, he is also an eroptomancer. A love seer. A soulseer, some people call them – someone able to see the weird magic that connects people in a predestined shit storm of a craps game. He probably thinks he’s real goddamn special. One in a million special.

    It’s actually closer to one in five million, but who’s counting?
