Fights were uncommon for them, especially after Vecna and the bullshit he had caused them.
Steve was sitting atop the old scratched up dinner table, his fists balled, he was feeling pure and genuine anger over something so “small”, at least Eddie believed it was small.
“Munson you cannot be serious right now- you don’t even care that your boyfriend says those things about you, even in public?” Each huff Steve exhaled caused Eddie to become more and more irritable.
Sure his boyfriend wasn’t the best- fuck anyone could see that. He would call him names, crack jokes about Eddie and his struggles, he’d even shame him for certain interests he had. “Harrington I’m a grown ass adult, my decisions are my own. If I want to be with him I fucking will. Now sit the fuck down and finish your beer.”
“Oh so him calling you a freak is ok? Him saying your music taste is pathetic is ok? Him saying your style is disgusting is alright? How about him saying your weight is gross?” Removing himself from the table he sat on, Steve walked over to Eddie, his larger figure blocking the man from looking at anything else but him.
“What about when he said D&D was for fairies? What about when he called Dustin a pansy for being into nerdy shit? Eddie, do you just not care about yourself?” Before he knew it Eddie felt tears brimming his eyes. Swatting Steve away from his space the metal head stood up and rushed into his room, his heavy steps making the floorboards creak and the pictures on the wall shake.
Swinging open his door Eddie slammed it behind him, the sound of Steve hitting it almost pleasant to his ears. Locking the door he slid down it, the thick wood making a chill run up his back.
“Yea maybe I don’t care about myself,” His voice was weak and debauched from the lump in his throat, “Have you ever thought that maybe I’ll take anything I can get? I’m the town pariah Harrington, no one wants to love me.” Rubbing at his face Eddie sniffled a bit, the crying starting to give him a headache.
“I’m a freak, a loser, a faggot, I’m not desirable. No one has ever loved me so yea- I’ll take what I can get.” Wincing at the sudden movement against the door Eddie looked at the lock before being pushed aside due to the door being opened. “Steve? What the fuck!”
Watching as the taller man tumbled in, Eddie kept himself at a distance, the man's embarrassment from crying and the pain of saying things out loud making it hard to breathe. “Eddie c’mere here.”
Opening his arms Steve gently pulled Eddie into a warm embrace, his yellow cable knit sweater rubbing against Eddie’s raw skin. “You know Robin hates when I talk about you- she’s actually jealous,” softly chuckling the younger male continued, “She hates that I talk about how your style is cool, how your music taste isn’t all that bad, how you make D&D seem cool, how your love for the kids makes me uh- makes me love you.”
If he was confused before Eddie was far more confused now. Steve loved him? Shaking his head the older male pushed himself away from Steve. “No no- don’t fucking lie. I can’t deal with this Harrington, not when I’ve wanted you for ages. You can’t just fucking say you love me when you love the idea of me.” Trying to catch his breath Eddie closed his eyes.
“You like the idea of dating the freak, of being with someone who would make you look good. Fuck Steve you don’t even like men! I have a dick- not something you would enjoy. I get a stubble, I have sharp edges, I fucking stink all the time.” Shaking his hands Eddie tried to calm down, his heart hammering against his rib cage, just like the bats had ripped out pieces of him, pieces of his chest and side.
Squeezing his own thighs Eddie kept his eyes shut tight. “Your favorite song is actually Star Star, you hate oranges, you get antsy when you’ve had too much sugar- which is always, when you were five you dressed up as a lion so you could be courageous.” Steve began to rub soft circles onto Eddie’s ankle, the motion somehow calming him down.
“You have a gap on your bottom teeth, you smile really hard when the kids test you in D&D, you actually love Tears for Fears, and you deserve better than the boyfriend you have.” Stopping the motion against Eddie’s ankle Steve tried to gauge the man for a reaction.
“My boyfriend isn’t bad Harrington, you’re just mad I didn’t choose you, ok? So calm down and go try and get into Nancy’s pants again,” sneering Steve Eddie pushed himself off the ground and onto his feet, “Try for those six nuggets ok?”
Steve stood there baffled, his jaw dropped and his body tense. “Now you don’t mean that do-“ before he could finish his sentence Eddie’s voice cut in, “Oh but I do! Go ahead and fuck Nancy for all I care- make your white picket fence dream come true, make sure she’s pregnant and barefoot for years to come.” He angrily spit out his words, his jaw clenching.
Snagging his windbreaker and keys Steve hastily threw the clothing on. “Y’know what- sure Munson, I clearly don’t know what I want. Enjoy your shitty boyfriend and the shitty life he’ll give you.” Without another word Eddie watched as Steve left the trailer, got in his BMW, and drove away.
————————————
It had been over a month since Eddie had spoken, well argued, with Steve. They’d see each other due to the kids but other than that they never hung out.
Eddie had left his boyfriend after a large fight, one with swinging fits and harsh words. It’s funny to think that he wasn’t even the one to end it- his ex was.
“You’re too much to handle.”
“I can’t be seen with a freak like you.”
“We’re over Munson, leave me the fuck alone.”
Eddie had told Robin and Corroded Coffin about the break up. Robin said she was grateful to see that prick leave, the band said they felt a weight off their chest, the large man being a shadow, a bad vibe.
He had never planned to tell Steve. He simply went into Family Video to annoy Robin- sadly the man had to be working.
“All I’m saying Robin is wearing my handkerchief again feels good! I mean yea not dating him is a plus but c’mon, my fashion was at steak.” Causing a laugh to escape Robin’s lips Eddie was baffled when he heard another laugh and the soft creak of a shutting door.
In walks Steve from the back room, his hair perfectly done and his outfit being a stupid polo and stiff Levi’s. Removing his gaze from the taller man Eddie returned it to Robin, almost as if Steve wasn’t even there.
“I’m glad that asshole was kicked to the curb, serves him right. Anyways- Robs I’m gonna go put these tapes back.” Pushing past Steve walked over to the section he needed, not sparing Eddie another glance.
Rekindled heat burned over him, a pregnant pause making his body thrum with thoughts. “Why don’t you, I don’t know, talk to him Eddie? He clearly doesn’t hate you. Plus I’m sure you both miss one another.” Eddie hated when Robin was right. She always became full of herself, her chest puffed out and her eyes gleaming.
Scoffing at the women across the counter from him Eddie reluctantly made his way over to the section Steve was working in. Upon seeing the man on his knees sorting horror movies the metal head felt a laugh come from his nose, air leaving him quickly. “If this is how easy it is to put you on your knees, I would’ve asked much earlier.”
Steve looked over at Eddie with his brows furrowed and his mouth open. Watching as he pushed himself up from the floor Eddie straightened his back to feign confidence. “Anyways, are you free tonight? I’ve got beer and free weed.” He hoped his voice didn’t shake, that his hands stood still in his pockets.
“Uh yea sure, my shift is over at 8 so I’ll see you at 8:30 ok?” Steve rubbed the back of his neck, the hairs that sat there becoming a mess due to the action.
Nodding feverishly Eddie cleared his throat. “Cool cool, see you then ok?” Backing out of the aisle and to the front he looked over at Robin quickly before shooting a thumbs up. Rushing out of the store he got into his van and drove home, nerves wracking over his poor body.
————————————
8:30 rolled around quicker than Eddie believed was humanly possible. Sure he has spent most of his time cleaning and panicking but fuck- he was surprised.
Upon hearing his trailer door knock Eddie jumped, his hands shaking and his body not wanting to move. Pushing away his nerves he quickly opened the door and put on his personality. “Come on in Harrington.”
Moving aside for Steve he watched as he walked in, clad in his prep clothes and- Eddie’s vest? Shutting the door Eddie walked over to the man and grabbed at the denim fabric. “Where the fuck did this come from? I thought I lost it!” Rubbing at the fabric he furrowed his brows.
“Oh well you left it at my house a while back and I haven’t had the chance to return it. I ran home before I came over here. Uh- lemme just.” Watching as Steve slipped out of the vest Eddie was dumbfounded, his jaw was slack and his eyes were bulging from his head.
Taking the vest into his hands he quickly threw it on and groaned, the weight welcoming. “Oh welcome back baby, god how I missed you.” Pulling the collar up to his nose he inhaled deeply, the smell of Harrington seeping into his nose and settling itself in his lower stomach, heat spreading throughout him.
Quickly letting go of the collar Eddie looked at Steve, the man’s face clearly one of confusion. “Ah sorry I just missed her y’know? Beer?” At the nod he quickly went to his fridge and pulled two out. Handing one over to Steve, Eddie moved to sit on the couch.
“Why am I here?”
Confused, Eddie looked up at Steve, his body just in front of him. “Munson I know you don’t like me, why am I here? Is it for Robin? Is it to ask about my love life?” Steve’s voice was even and terrifying, not an ounce of worry was covering him.
Taking in a sharp breath Eddie waited for a beat before responding. “You were right, ok? My ex sucked. We uh- we had an argument which led to a fight.. a fist fight. But I’m ok! He broke it off and I just wanted to tell you that you were right.” Eddie felt tears pricking at his eyes, embarrassment coursing through his veins.
Perking up at the sound of a beer can being set down he was soon engulfed in a large bear hug, the smell of Steve surrounding him like Lover’s Lake. Gently hugging back he let out a muffled sob, his arms instantly tightening around the man holding him.
“I wish I was wrong,” His voice was wavering, “I wish he hadn’t hurt you, that he would be ok. That you would be ok.” Rubbing soft circles into Eddie’s scalp Steve continued. “I never wanted you to get hurt and this asshole put his hands on you- he fuckin- he hit you Eddie, and I just kept my distance because you hurt me. I’m so sorry.”
Reluctantly pulling away from the tight embrace Eddie looked over at Steve, his body now on the cushion next to him due to the hug. “No no no I hurt you so you needed space. Steve I dug deep and you let me- you let me hurt you and fuck I’m so sorry.” Whimpering at the touch on his face Eddie sniffled when Steve wiped at his tear stained cheeks.
“I’m glad he’s gone, now I can do this.” Confused, he watched as the younger man inhaled deeply before continuing. “Eddie, I've been head over heels for you since you held a broken bottle to my throat. I’ve wanted you for months now and I can’t hold it back anymore. You haunt me in my dreams, in my music, in my fucking job. I swear you are everywhere I look.”
As he was about to speak Steve shushed him with a simple hand raise. “I think about you when I crawl into bed, wishing you were next to me. I think about you as I shop, the sight of the flowers making me wish I could buy you a bouquet. Fuck Eddie I think of you when I probably shouldn’t.” A deep blush rose over Steve’s cheeks, ears, and chest- his eyes looking everywhere else but Eddie.
It was a lot, a confession about love while Eddie was just coming to the realization he liked Steve. Letting out a shaky laugh he forced Steve to look at him. “I can’t give you 6 kids, I can’t give you a white picket fence, Steve I can’t give you the life you want.” Tears fell freely from the metal head's eyes as he expressed himself.
“I don’t want any of that, I want you Eddie. Plus I have 6 kids, I have a white picket fence house, all I need is you. Eddie, I need you.” With his final words Steve dove forward and caught Eddie’s lips with his own, a soft moan escaping him at the contact.
Opening his mouth Eddie shoved his tongue into Steve’s, the taste of cinnamon gum on his tongue. Smirking softly at the moan that escaped Steve’s mouth Eddie greedily swallowed it.
Pulling off he caught his breath. “Fuck let’s take this to my room ok?” Grabbing Steve’s hand he pulled the man up and to his room. Flicking on the lamp next to his bed he hummed at the sight of the younger male being bathed in the warmth. Pushing him onto the bed he sat across from him.
Letting out a small laugh at Steve leaning in to kiss him Eddie gently pushes him back. “Not yet baby, gotta discuss what we want to do. Can you do that big boy?” His voice was smooth and even as he spoke to Steve like he was dumb.
Steve quickly nodded. “Use your words Stevie.”
“Yes sir.”
Internally groaning Eddie bit his lower lip. “Ok now what do you like? Gotta explain it to me in detail ok honey?”
Steve wiggled in place, embarrassment making him more flustered than before. “I uh- I like praise and being called mean things. I also like not having all the control, does that make sense?” Eddie softly smiled, his eyes squinting at Steve.
“Yea baby it makes total sense. How far do you want to go?” Letting out a sigh Steve toyed with his hands. “All the way- I’ve uh, done with before.”
As his eyes widened Eddie let out a soft gasp, his jaw dropping. “I’m sorry you’ve done this before? With who?”
“Nancy, I asked her to try. It only happened once.” Steve wasn’t nervous, he was embarrassed, he knew Eddie could see right through him and that made him feel comforted somehow.
Placing a hand on Steve’s thigh Eddie squeezed it gentle, his rings digging into the blue denim of his jeans. “Hey it’s ok! I don’t judge people ok? Now are you sure you can handle my cock baby? I’m sure Nancy’s wasn’t as good as mine.”
Steve writhed under the words Eddie was spewing, his tongue laced with pure filth and fuck if it wasn’t good. “Did she fuck you deep enough? Did you feel her cock in your throat?” Letting out a wanton moan Steve gripped at the sheets beneath him.
“Oh baby’s already so needy for me huh? I’m sure your hole is just begging to be filled.” Eddie placed his mouth on Steve’s neck and began to suck and bite at the tanned flesh, his teeth sinking into it with ease.
“Fuck- Ed’s I need more please!” Steve wasn't below himself to beg, so he did just that.
Unlatching his mouth from the now abused neck Eddie removed Steve’s shirt, his eyes latching onto the chest hair and the slight chub. “Fuuuuck baby you were hiding this from me? God the things you do to me.” Ducking his head down he began to suck at one of Steve’s nipples, the other one being toyed with one of his hands.
Biting at the nipple he pulled back once it was red and puffy. Moving onto the other one Eddie smirked when he notices Steve’s moans and mumbles over how good it felt.
Once content Eddie removes his mouth from Steve’s chest just to move lower. Taking notice of all the hair and of the purple stretch marks he groans. “Can I take your pants off?” At Steve’s nod he quickly ripped the denim off, the sight of Steve’s maroon underwear making his one dick jump with interest.
Mouthing at the obvious wet patch Eddie moaned when his hair was pulled, the tight latch Steve has on it making his eyes roll into the back of his head. “Eds I need more please- don’t tease.”
“Only good boys get their reward, you’re acting like a pathetic slut- be patient.” Slapping Steve’s left thigh Eddie returned his mouth to the head of Steve’s cock, the taste through the material faint.
Removing Steve’s last layer Eddie about came undone in his pants, the sight of naked Steve being his new favorite. His body was shaped by the gods. His thick thighs and slight stomach, his purple stretch marks and hair, his thick and red cock. “Holy fuck baby you’re divine.”
Spitting into his hand Eddie rubbed his palm over Steve’s head, the warmth almost burning him. Taking more of Steve into his hand he watched as the man threw his head back and moaned, his body trembling and his cock leaking.
“Ok let me grab lube baby.” Reaching into his nightstand he quickly grabbed the half empty bottle of lube he had in there. Ignoring the small laugh Steve gave at the sight of it he squeezed some into his hand. Warming it up with his fingers he slowly sunk one in.
“You’re doing so good baby, taking my finger like a pro. Fuck you’re tight, try and relax.” Thanking the gods that Steve relaxed Eddie eased in another finger before he began to thrust them in and out.
Humming soft praise to Steve he curled his fingers up, bingo. “Oh fuck!! Again, again please please!!” Thrusting in another finger Eddie began to pound into Steve, his wrist twisted in the perfect way.
Just as Steve was about cum he quickly pulled his fingers out. Shushing Steve’s whimpering Eddie quickly stripped out of his clothes and grabbed a condom. Sliding it on he smeared lube over it before placing his head over Steve’s entrance.
Rubbing gently against the puffy ring he moaned whenever it would catch. “Ok baby, I’m going to go in.”
Pressing into Steve felt like being wrapped in a tight ass blanket. It was warm and soft and fuck did it feel good.
“Fuck! Eddie go harder please-“ Steve was debauched. His voice was cracking and he was covered in sweat and spit. “Good boy, asking me for more of my cock.” Starting a harsh pace Eddie moved around in search of Steve’s prostate.
Upon Steve’s loud moan and his body jerking Eddie smirked. “Fuck fuck- you feel so good, you’re so deep Eddie” Throwing his head back Steve moaned with each thrust, his body being thrashed around due to the hard pace.
“Does daddy feel good baby? Better than any girl you fucked before me huh?” Steve whimpered at that, clenching Eddie as the words hit him.
“Fuck yes daddy!! You fill me perfectly, treat me so so good! I’m your perfect slut.”
At Steve’s words Eddie fastened his pace, his thrusts becoming erratic. “Fuck baby boy I’m close-“
“Cum in me please!” With a loud grunt Eddie came. As he rode out his orgasm he placed one of his hands on Steve’s neglected cock. Pumping it one, two, three times the younger male came with a shout.
After a couple of minutes Eddie pulled out his now softened cock. Taking off the used condom he tie: it and threw it into his trash. “I’ll be right back ok baby?”
Running to the bathroom he quickly wet a rag before running back into the room. Wiping Steve and himself down he hummed a song to ease Steve.
“Is that, is that Wham!” Steve’s voice was hoarse due to the moaning, that alone made Eddie feel proud.
“Oh yea, it’s your favorite.” Throwing the rag into a random pile Eddie pulled Steve into him.
“Boy, everything she wants is everything she sees.”
Laughing softly Steve laid his head against Eddie’s chest, his fingers tracing the tattoo’s sitting there. “What are we?”
“Well, what do you want to be?” Watching Steve trace at his tattoo’s Eddie continued to hum. “I want you to be my boyfriend, how does that sound?”
Chuckling at Steve’s answer Eddie placed a kiss on the top of his head, the smell of coconuts and weed filling his nose. “I wouldn’t want anything else.
Epilogue
The windows were down and the loud sound of kids filled the air. Sitting in the passenger seat of Steve’s BMW while the kids rode in the back had to have been one of the best feelings, especially for Eddie.
“JESUS!! Steve who the fuck bit you?? She must be a vampire!” Dustin’s voice rang through the car once they parked outside the arcade. Upon Dustin’s discovery the rest of the kids began to ask.
Quickly shutting down the kids' questions Steve rubbed at the mark on his neck, his cheeks flushing and his mouth sitting in a flat line. “It’s none of your guys’ business! Now go inside and play your stupid arcade games.”
As the kids filtered out Steve let out a sigh of relief. “I’m happy for you and Eddie.” Quickly reeling their heads back Steve and Eddie looked at Will, his eyes soft and his smile even softer.
“Thanks Will. Now go play with the kids.” Eddie ruffled Will’s hair and smiled once he walked inside.
“Hey Eddie?” Steve looked over at him.
“Yea?” Eddie rose his eyebrow in confusion.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
