Summary
Eddie hadn’t meant for things to end up this way – had just wanted to flirt a little and fuck with the guy.
But seeing Steve blush like that; the way he’d responded to Eddie? He just had to know.
Wanted to taste him, to feel him. Wanted to know what he sounds he could pluck from him, self-assured promises of no more straight guys be damned.
Eddie felt sure, deep in his bones (in his balls), that if he signaled to Steve after the show, Steve would follow.
And Eddie would signal.
Or, Eddie moved to Indianapolis after graduation, ready to leave his memories of Hawkins in the past (where they belong).
But when he gets the call to perform a Halloween show at the Hideout, he knows it’s too good of an opportunity to turn down.
He’d been expecting a decent enough turnout – it was Halloween, and what else was there to do in a place like Hawkins?
Definitely hadn’t been expecting Steve to look so goddamn appealing in that stupid Top Gun costume.

Summary
But what was Eddie supposed to do? Show up at Steve’s house, apropos of nothing, and say:
Hi, Harrington. Remember that mind-blowing night we had in the storage closet of a metal bar together? Yeah, me too. Definitely not in my top ten nights of my entire life or anything.
Haven’t been able to look at fishnets without getting a raging hard-on since. No big deal.
Just wanted to stop by and see if you wanted to go at it again?
You know, if the offer still stands.
Yeah, unlikely to work out in Eddie’s favor.

Summary
“How’s the hangover treating you?”
“Oh, you know. Only feel like death warmed over."
Eddie wondered what Steve taking care of his hangovers looked like.
Did he lay on the couch watching Hitchcock movies as he faded in and out of sleep like Eddie did?
Eat a greasy burger and then curl up in bed with all the curtains drawn?
Could totally see Steve being one of those insane people who insisted on exercise to sweat through their hangover.
“But I had a little hair of the dog in the bath, so I’m feeling mostly human again,” Steve murmured.
And, oh god, Eddie could imagine that a little too well.
Steve. In a bathtub.
Or - 1986 was always meant to be Eddie's year.
He had survived Vecna, graduated high school, and got the hell out of Hawkins. Just never thought it'd be the year he'd fall in love with Steve Harrington.09/17/2023 Update: On temporary hiatus while working on another project. Sorry for the delay, am alive <3
