    Summary

    It's a test of his patience.

    Maybe as payback, or maybe as round one, but it's a test of patience nonetheless.

    Summary

    “What,” he mumbles, and his voice doesn't even frame it as a question.

    “I don't know,” Buck shrugs. “You caught me by surprise. I didn't know you were so…”

    “Vanilla?” Eddie tries.

    “Repressed.”

    “Repressed? I’m not repressed, Buck,” Eddie scoffs and turns fully to him again, aghast at the implication. Buck just keeps staring back knowingly. It's unnerving and makes Eddie angry and–a little hot with shame, maybe, but he'd never admit that out loud. “I'm not–I’m not. I have been having sex with boring women, okay? But I'm–I could be adventurous, if the opportunity presented itself!”

    He's so clearly offended; he's gesturing widely, avoiding Buck's eyes and his voice has risen a little bit past what a comfortable Eddie would reach in volume. But whatever, okay, he would be adventurous. He could.

    “Is that so?” Buck says, and his voice is low enough with it that it gives Eddie full pause. “What–how adventurous are we talking?”

     

    Or: Eddie thinks he's boring in bed and Buck teaches him some new tricks.

    Summary

    Eddie wears it like a brand. 

    Steve’s warmth. He touched me, Eddie thinks. He touched me.

    It wasn’t cold.

    Somebody touched him and it didn’t feel cold. Didn’t hurt.

    Fat lot of good it does, other than add yet another memory to- yearn? pine? despair?- over, but still. It’s something. It’s everything, maybe. 

    ---

    eddie comes out of the upside down with a missing nipple, an inability to warm up, and a beginning-to-get-concerning increase in his adverse reaction to touch. worse, still- steve harrington's magic hands appear to be his own personal cure-all.

    Summary

    Mark thinks that whatever he and Johnny are supposed to be is a funny thing. Mark does not truly know what Johnny is to him because they’re not friends but they are something. Johnny is something to Mark. He’s a force that drives Mark forward, watching him, pushing him, and surrounding him and Mark feels like he could get lost in it.

    But Mark is sure Johnny doesn’t think about them like that, he doubts Johnny really thinks about him at all. Mark wishes he could be more like Johnny in that way, in a lot of ways.

    Summary

    “I’m coming, man. Jeez. This isn’t life or death.”

    Steve opens the driver’s side door roughly. “Alcohol thins your blood. Lose too much and it will be life or death.”

    “It’s just a flesh wound,” Eddie insists in a bad British accent as he plops down in the passenger seat. When Steve only gives him a blank look, his grin falls. “Monty Python and the Holy Grail? No? Come on, dude, how do you work at a video store?”

    (Or: The aftermath begins to set in. Sometimes, comfort can be found in the oddest of places.)
