Summary
Eddie remembered nothing, and then he remembered Steve. His voice. His hands. Bits and pieces of scattered stimuli, coming to him like microbes on a blurry microscope.
He found out, later, that it had been Steve who had hauled him off the ground, and had dragged his warm corpse back from hell. It had been Steve to deliver compressions until he’d miraculously made it to the ambulance, and it had even been Steve who’d driven Wayne to the ICU afterwards.
Then he kept sticking around.
A casual hookup. Two. Three. Now they fuck every other weekend and Eddie couldn’t ignore the way it was making him feel. It was lovely, he felt so sweet, he’s a willing plum ready to rot in Steve’s careful hands. Steve would enjoy him and treasure him and lick his mouth clean after every bite— but this wasn’t made to last.

Things You Don’t Say to the Family Video Guy by Yellove_8

Summary
Eddie Munson has never had a reason to rent a single movie in his life. He’s a bootlegger, a snob, and completely certain that every tape in Family Video is either mainstream trash or heartbreak in plastic form.
Then Steve Harrington starts working behind the counter.
They went to high school together, sure. But Eddie never talked to King Steve, not even when he secretly thought Steve Harrington was stupidly hot and probably emotionally wrecked in a way that made him fascinating.
Now, Steve keeps recommending him movies. “Watch this,” he says. “Just trust me.”
And Eddie does.
OR:
Five cinematic recommendations Steve pretended were casual, and one quiet gift that made Eddie stop pretending he didn’t care.

Summary
"You and me. Six weeks. No strings. Just fucking," Steve says, and it's not a question. He's already decided. Eddie just needs to get on board. This is happening.
"You've lost your goddamn mind," Eddie says, shaking his head as his voice gets too high, shrill.

Summary
He muttered, voice strangled, “We’re surrounded. Anyone could notice.”
Steve’s lips curved against his skin. “They won’t.”
And god help him, Eddie wanted to believe it. Wanted to lean into that confidence, let it swallow his panic whole. But his heart was hammering too loud in his chest, loud enough he was sure it had its own beat competing with the music from the speakers.
He needed to stop this. Had to.
“Friends,” he blurted, because apparently his brain had decided to play Mad Libs with his mouth. “We’re—we’re friends. Just friends. Friends don’t…” He trailed off, because finishing that sentence meant admitting exactly what Steve was doing, and Eddie’s survival instincts vetoed that idea.
Friends don’t grind each other against pool walls? his inner voice supplied helpfully. Friends don’t swap spit and make embarrassing cartoon-character noises when they’re kissed?
Shut up, Eddie told himself.
Or: Eddie goes to a pool party, tries very hard not to drown in Steve Harrington, and fails spectacularly.
