Summary
‘Blood?’ Eddie says again.
Eyes black but for the slice of iridescent white in the centre. His teeth are sharp, his hands are weapons and Steve thinks maybe he’s made a mistake doing this without telling Eddie first. Eddie’s focus lowers, it moves to his left hand which is…
Oh fuck.
It’s dripping blood onto the floor.
‘Shit,’ Steve says, takes a single step back, swallows. ‘Eddie, I’m so sorry, fuck.’
Eddie can’t seem to look away, can’t bring his ethereal gaze back up where it belongs. Steve thinks he should run, he should flee. A tiny part of him knows Eddie will chase him. Eddie will catch him, outrun him easily.
It's more than a little fucked up how that thrills him.

Summary
During their freshman year together, Eddie decides to play a harmless prank on Steve. He slips an anonymous love letter into Steve’s locker to make the pretty boy think he has a secret admirer.
Seeing Steve’s smile and flushed cheeks as he reads the letter makes Eddie’s heart skip a beat and somehow he finds himself writing another letter, as a joke, obviously.
But 2 letters turns into 4, then 10, then 20. For the entirety of their high school years together, Eddie slips anonymous letters into Steve’s locker, not quite sure when they stopped being a joke.

Summary
Steve never cried. He just didn't. Dustin had known him for around 4 years, been friends with him for 3, and he had never seen him cry.
There hadn't been many occasions, and he never really thought about it, but now, now it hit him.
Steve never cried, but there he was now, sobbing into Dustin's chest, clutching at his hoodie like his life depended on it, begging for some kind of comfort, looking vulnerable like never before.Bookmarked by shotglasspotion

Summary
"Steve 'the Hair' Harrington, a rage-filled barbarian, who knew?" Eddie says, like its a compliment, like Steve has ANY idea what that means.
"Uh, I knew. Obviously." Steve says, wisely, even though he clearly didn't. "Anyway, do you think we could eat a demobat? Or would we turn into some kind of monstrous freak? I'm starving, and Dustin's cheese crackers are not enough to get me on my feet again."
"What difference does it make to me if I'm a human freak or a monster one?" Eddie shrugs, and Steve butts his shoulder up against Eddie. It's meant to be brotherly, maybe friendly, but it's too soft. Felt like something he might have done before slinging an arm around a girl's shoulders.
"You're not a freak." Steve says, and finds he means it.
Eddie's eyes, when he looks at Steve, are curious. "No?"
"No."
