It's always so weird to me that so many Steddie shippers insist on Eddie being gay when he obviously has so much chemistry with Chrissy in their scenes together. Like people feel threatened by the idea of him being bisexual. He can still be attracted to & fall in love with Steve and be bi...
I just think Eddie would be an equal opportunity kinda guy and that he'd see women as total babes.
Piercings I see Eddie with: lower and upper lobe, nipple bars, septum, tongue, eyebrow, bridge, lorum, helixes
Piercings I see Steve with: lower and upper lobe, belly button, nostril
Somebody Loves You, You Got a Friend (part 5)
Other parts: one, two, three, four.
I know I said in the last part we’re meeting the CC boys, but I forgot about this. So we get a bit of what’s happening outside of Steddie’s bubble! (We’re fast forwarding a bit, Steve’s like five-six months along. Also if anything doesn’t seem accurate to real life, pls ignore that oh and the show timeline…don’t look too closely pls 🫡)
Being in a small town is still sometimes stupid, Steve will always say this. Because of how fucking true it is.
It wasn’t too long ago when all the town could talk about was “poor Joyce Byers, her youngest is dead” and then found alive it switched immediately to “poor Barbra Holland, just so young” and now? Now it’s his family.
Thankfully the rumors and gossip is about his father leaving suddenly and not about him being pregnant at sixteen.
Currently he’s hiding his tiny baby bump, because according to the doctors, he’s thirteen weeks along and the other day he noticed his stomach rounding out. So, he’s taken up to wearing a bit bigger shirts and sweaters. Since the doctors and his mom told him scent blockers can be harmful, he’s had to stop taking them.
Instead, he helps mask his scent with Eddie’s scent.
“How you feeling today?” Eddie whispers to him, as he subtly scents him.
He shrugs and notices Nancy and Jonathan staring at him, turning away, “the nausea is better today, I think. Right now I’m really wanting a cheese pizza oh, and a chocolate brownie”
Eddie laughs and pushes him just enough to start walking, “good thing it’s lunch, then?”
They make their way out of the school, Steve hearing multiple people whispering about them but ignoring it. It’s not new that he’s friends with Eddie, plus he isn’t really ‘King Steve’ anymore either. If anything, being popular was a huge disappointment.
As they reach his car, they hear someone shouting Steve’s name. Confused, and not finding anyone immediately, Steve’s a little surprised to see that Nancy and Jonathan followed them.
“Um, what’s up?”
Nancy looks between him and Eddie then narrows her eyes, like she’s trying to figure something out. “We wanted to talk to you about something”
Confused even more, he looks between the other couple before glancing at Eddie, who’s just as confused. “Ok? Can’t you say it in front of Eddie?”
Jonathan shook his head, “uh, we can’t- probably shouldn’t. It’s- it’s about my brother”
That’s when it clicks, it’s about the stupid Upside Down.
Again.
Shaking his head, he hopes they can’t tell his scent is spiking with anxiety. Eddie immediately picks up on it though, “Stevie, we should leave before our lunch break is over, yeah?”
Thank god for Eddie.
“He’s right and I really want some pizza, maybe another time?” He’s lying, there’s not going to be a next time for as long as he can ignore them. He can’t be involved with them anymore, especially with the tiny life growing inside of him. “Come on, Eds”
Eddie gives the other two a blinding manic smile before climbing inside the car and Steve just smiles and then they’re gone.
They drive to the closest diner that serves pizza and brownies.
They’re in the furthest corner of the whole place and hidden behind a wall, giving them the privacy they’ve been wanting. Steve’s not at all hiding the fact that he’s scenting Eddie and Eddie has a hand on his stomach underneath the sweatshirt.
“You know, I was told you can’t feel anything yet. There’s like a few more weeks, then apparently you’ll be able to feel them moving and kicking” he whispers against Eddie’s neck, “have I told you I love your scent?”
The alpha chuckled, “yeah? Your scent is better, it’s even sweeter now”
Shaking his head, he sits up and looks at Eddie, “it changed?”
Before Eddie can answer, the pizza is there. Along with two brownies, which Steve immediately grabs a slice. “Uh yep, I never realized how good this was” he nearly moans at the pizza, then he eyes the brownie and grabs a piece.
“You aren’t-“
Nodding, he puts part of the brownie on top of his pizza and takes a bite. An overly satisfied smile on his face, causing Eddie to laugh and shake his head. They eat mostly in silence, especially since the omega is happily eating the pizza with the brownie on top.
It’s only once they’re back in Steve’s car heading back, when he remembers. “Hey, you said my scent changed. What does it smell like now?”
Eddie lets out a hum, leaning over and taking in his scent before answering, “there’s a hint of I think cinnamon? It’s really faint, I only notice it when we’re scenting each other”
“I’ll ask my mom about it, this is still all outta my knowledge. I knew some of it but there’s things I didn’t know. Like, your scent is overly calming to me? It’s weird, I mean, before even back when you shoved me in my car at that party, I really liked it but it didn’t calm me down.” He explained as he parked but didn’t move to get out, instead turned to face Eddie, “I already knew the basics for pregnancy and all that. But apparently the baby will be able to hear both of us? It’s so weird. This is weird”
Eddie laughed, reaching over to grab his hand, “it’s metal as fuck, pretty boy. You’re growing a human, like right now. I know it’s not what we wanted but, I’ll be honest, I’m so damn lucky it’s you.”
Almost immediately, his eyes start to sting as tears well up, rubbing at his eyes, he laughs before shaking his head. “Please don’t make me cry, you sappy alpha.”
Eddie grins, “Your sappy alpha, princess.”
A Week Later
The Harrington house is quiet and all three people are currently asleep. It’s only eight in the morning on a Sunday anyway.
Steve has his face shoved by Eddie’s neck, arms wrapped around the alpha and their legs tangled together, peacefully sleeping. Eddie’s just as peaceful, with one arm holding Steve close and the other is thrown over his eyes.
Steve’s mom, Janet, is waking up only because of their annoying doorbell going off. She huffs, pulling on a robe and stopping by Steve’s room to see the boys still asleep.
The bell rings again and she sighs, pulling their door shut before making her way to the front door to be met with Nancy Wheeler.
“Hello, can I help you?” She never formally met Steve’s ex-girlfriend. She was too busy helping her ex-husband.
The teen is shocked to see her, clearly and she doesn’t know how to school her emotions yet, because the girl looks disappointed that she answered the door, “uh- yes, i’m here to talk to Steve?”
Frowning, “I’m sorry but Steve is asleep right now, is this important?”
She can tell Nancy’s an alpha that hasn’t figured out a way to control her emotions, because the girl is still disappointed and it seems frustrated, “I just need to talk to Steve, you’re his mom, right?”
“I am, and I won’t be waking him up just for a chat. You can come back later or wait until school tomorrow” she’s just as frustrated, if not more. This is the girl that called her son ‘bullshit’ and she doesn’t ever want to see that sadness and that self-doubt in Steve again.
She watches as Nancy clench’s her jaw before trying and failing to school her face and straighten up, “I’m sorry ma’am, but this is important enough to wake him up. It- it’s about Will Byers and-“
Janet shakes her head and gives a sharp smile, “My son isn’t the police or involved with what happened to Will Byers and I won’t be waking him up just to see his ex-girlfriend.” And promptly shuts the door before Nancy can say anything else.
If she listens closely, she can hear Nancy let out a frustrated huff and walking away.
Shaking her head she doesn’t bother going back to sleep, goes into the kitchen to start on breakfast since the night before Steve mentioned craving pancakes.
The smell of bacon and pancakes is what helps wake Steve up, the other thing is the light kiss on his forehead.
Blinking away the sleep from his eyes, his lips curl into a smile at Eddie, the alpha is smiling at him and he can suddenly feel a hand rubbing at his waist and stomach, “good morning, Stevie”
“Morning Eds” he sighs and leans into him for a few seconds and then he’s bolting out of the bed and into the bathroom, throwing up last night’s dinner. Groaning he feels a hand start to rub up and down his back, “Eddie, I swear I’m never going through this again”
The alpha laughs then helps him up. After brushing teeth and putting on decent clothes, they find his mom humming softly to the radio and busy flipping pancakes. Despite the fact that he was just nauseous and didn’t want food, he wants nothing more than the food his mom is making.
“Oh! Good morning boys” she smiles and turns the burner off before pulling him into a hug with a kiss to his forehead, “how are you feeling, sweetie?”
Shrugging, “just weird, I guess?”
“Yeah, that won’t be changing much” she smiles, “come on, I have enough pancakes and bacon. Would either of you like eggs?”
As they’re eating and having small talk, it isn’t until Steve’s finished his food that his mom looks at him with a pinched look, “mom?”
She sighs and looks at him, “Sweetie, before you woke up someone came over looking for you. She was pretty determined to talk, but I told her no. I just wanted to let you know incase she shows up again”
Confused, he sees Eddie equally confused and before he can open his mouth to ask who, his mom says it, “it was your ex, Nancy, I don’t know what was so important. She said it was about Joyce’s son, but you aren’t involved with them.”
For a quick moment he panics at the thought of Nancy pulling him back in, but he’s been better at standing up for himself other than just relying on others.
He doesn’t bother waiting, he’s determined to stay out of their mess. He has more important things in life.
Eddie’s waiting in the car while he’s standing on the Wheeler’s porch. He takes a quick moment to control his breathing and then knocks on the door.
It’s thrown open by Mike, who immediately glared at him, “what are you doing here?”
Rolling his eyes, “your sister wanted to talk to me and so I’m here”
Mike rolls his own eyes before turning and yelling for Nancy, then he just stands there waiting and honestly just glares at him. It doesn’t bother him, it makes sense. Then before he knows it, Mike’s being pulled away and there’s Nancy.
“You can’t keep avoiding this, Steve. You’re in this now” is the first thing out of her mouth, “are you going to help? The kids almost got hurt without any help and I thought-“
“I went over to that house just to apologize to Jonathan, Nancy. Not to throw my life away fighting monsters, did you forget we’re also kids? I’m sixteen. You’re sixteen!” He’s never been ashamed to fight dirty, “I thought that the supergirl closed that stupid gate, anyway?”
He watches as Nancy’s frustration grows, and he suddenly realizes how much they wouldn’t work at all. Ever.
“It doesn’t matter! We need help and you’re in!”
Shaking his head, he decides it’s not worth fighting and just says, “it does matter and I’m out. I’m not your boyfriend, I’m not even your friend. Leave me alone and I’ll stay out of your way”
And he simply walks away.
—
That’s it for now! I’m sorry for making Nancy into this pushy person but I mean…she kinda is that way in canon? She’s an older sister with younger siblings so of course she doesn’t see that she’s still only a kid too. She’s pretty much like this throughout the whole fic btw 🫣
NEXT TIME for sure the CC boys make an appearance 😌 (just a heads up, the unnamed member is named Grant in this)

ps5 brain monday
Oh so THIS is the ps5 post. I can see why you all imprinted on it now that’s hilarious
Pairing: Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson
Rating: Explicit (E)
Notes: So, I saw this post by @lengthofropes with the idea from @steveshairychest & was immediately struck with the need to write this fic. Thanks for the writing fodder, my friends!
Word Count: ~7K
Warnings: There's smut, for sure. So be prepared for that. I also think that Steve goes into a little sub space, so heads up for that, too!
Summary:
In a desperate attempt to understand his connection with Eddie, Steve asks for an odd favor - he wants to learn all there is to know about DnD. Unsurprisingly, Eddie readily agrees. What he thought was going to sort things out for him only brings Steve and Eddie closer. The feelings that Steve wanted to avoid creep up and take him under. Which means, of course, that Steve has an open invitation to the Hellfire Club meetings. Read to find out what happens when Steve gets a little frisky and drops Eddie's precious dice. Eddie's reaction is not what it seems!
Or - a cheap excuse to write soft sub!Steve...
A sharp kick to the shin brought Steve out of his revery. Blinking quickly, Steve shifted back to space and time where the entirety of the Hellfire Club was staring at him with a mixture of confused and knowing looks on their faces. Steve colored without permission – the blush ran so quickly over his face that Steve felt a little lightheaded, even. Dustin didn’t hesitate to burst out into a laughter that immediately made Steve’s shame dissipate. “Your poker face is shit, Steve. Stop thinking about Eddie – it’s your turn.” The noise in the room picked up noticeably as everyone laughed a little harder. Running a hand through his hair, Steve nodded gratefully over at Dustin. The smile he got in return was shit eating and perfect for the moment.
Clearing his throat, Steve tried to draw his attention back to the game – unfortunately, to no avail. His mind was stuck on the spine tingling way a bossy Eddie made him feel. He worked hard to listen to what Eddie said about the previous attacks and the options that Steve had. His precarious grip on that lasted until those precious dice were in his hand. An idea struck him so suddenly, Steve gripped the D20 hard enough to dig it painfully into his meaty palm. It took everything in him to hide the light bulb going off over his head. Steve had the perfect way to have a little fun and get what he wanted all at the same time.
Steve bite down on his bottom lip as he shook the dice in his hand. He needed higher than a twelve to make the hit. Closing his eyes just seconds before letting them launch, Steve sent up a little wish out into the universe. Then, he opened his hand and let the dice go skidding onto the table where they clattered on the edge before tumbling onto the floor with a nearly soundless “ping”. The only reason everyone heard it was because a deathly sort of quiet overtook the room. The sound was zapped from every corner as all eyes moved between Steve and Eddie. Everyone in the group knew the way their DM felt about property management. Respect the game and the tools used to play it. They’d heard the lecture time and time again. Despite Steve’s status as the boyfriend, no one really knew how Eddie was going to react to an important piece so carelessly treated.
Hazel eyes trailed from the dice on the floor to Eddie who’s head was tilted curiously. It didn’t take Steve long to recognize the twinkle in Eddie’s eye. While no one else knew what it meant, a tingle ran down Steve’s spine as the meaning sank in. He hit the exact bell he’d been trying to ring. Mischief and barely masked anger and excitement sat in the depth of Eddie’s gaze. He even nodded at Steve subtly before turning his attention to the still silent group around the table. Everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the hammer to fall.
Wait this is funny
This humor is so fucking advanced yet so fucking simple at the same time
