Summary
Steve makes a face at Eddie. “You've imagined doing stuff with a guy?”
“Yeah, man,” Eddie replies, spreading his hands wide. “Doesn't everyone?”
Steve tilts his head to the side as he thinks. Maybe not very often, but his freshman year when Davey Riggs had been swim team captain? Yeah, he had definitely imagined some stuff that had made trips to the locker room kinda awkward.
“Yeah, that's true,” Steve answers, nodding. “I wonder why everybody acts like it's so gross, though.”
In the summer of 1986, Steve and Eddie have some perfectly normal fun between a couple of perfectly normal dudes.

Summary
Eddie and Steve have been spending a lot of time together since Vecna. They're co-parenting kids, getting high every night, and sleeping in the same bed. They basically share a wardrobe too.
He thinks this is dangerous, its like they’re married, the casual sharing of intimacy, this space between them which feels like something and nothing all at the same time. He thinks it’s dangerous for him to pretend Steve sees it the same way, that one day Steve’s droopy, kind eyes are going to see right through him and he’ll lose this. This being a side of Steve’s bed that is his, a nightstand where his rings always pile, a drawer of shirts in Steve’s bedroom that only Eddie uses. He can’t lose it, so he shuts his mouth, turns out the light, and watches the slow breathing of sleep fill Steve’s chest.

Summary
"You trust me?"
Steve nods.
Eddie smiles, something soft and warm. "I need you to tell me."
"Yes, I trust you."
He doesn't mention a condom once and distantly Steve can hear not only his own voice preaching the importance of safe sex but also the fireworks outside going off, maybe warning him that this is a bad idea.
Or
45 year old unmarried and retired Steve Harrington absolutely did not foresee that the best thing about moving back to Hawkins, Indiana would be falling for Eddie fucking Munson.

Summary
Steve pulls up to just outside the garage door, then cuts the engine.
He turns in his seat.
“Eddie.”
He startles, a visibly painful jerk, and his eyes snap to Steve. Steve meets them steadily, trying to project calm. Eddie’s gaze do linger on him for a moment, before he looks around. The house towers above them, dark and empty. Eddie frowns, plainly confused, then glances to Steve and-
Realization dawns, then it’s quickly followed by anger and… hurt? The first quickly eclipses the latter, and Eddie flings open the car door.
“See you around, I guess, Harrington,” he spits, beginning to limp away.
Steve is so startled that it takes him a moment to get his bearings.
“Hey!” he calls, scrambling out of the car. “Hey! Where are you going?! You can barely even walk!”
“Home,” Eddie snaps. “And I’m walking because apparently I’m the only one who doesn’t deserve a fucking ride.”
“Oh, for the love of-,” Steve mutters, then runs the couple of hobbled steps that Eddie has managed to put between them, grabbing his arm to spin him around.
“Your home is half portal, idiot,” Steve says. “You’re staying with me.”- Language:

Summary
Under fluorescent lights a friendship with someone Steve never would have expected blossoms. But the more time Steve spends around Eddie Munson the more everything about himself he had managed to deny starts to bubble back up to the surface.
And yet he doesn't have it in him to leave Eddie's side. Not after he gets discharged from the hospital, not when their friendship creates tension between Steve and his parents, and not when that same friendship starts to inch towards something deliciously taboo.a character study in Steve Harrington and reputations, his upbringing, internalized homophobia, trauma, and his relationship with Eddie Munson that makes it all a little easier to confront
