OKay we all know Steve is a massive freaking cheeseball by the way he was walking up to Nancy's house with flowers to apologize when he got HIS feelings hurt-

But y'know who's a bigger cheeseball.

Eddie, drug dealer dm metalhead, Munson.

Steve is not used to being treated nicely, because y'know, he's a big tough strong man, definitely, and then Eddie comes and just flips his whole world around.

Eddie shows up with personalized mixtapes, and flowers, and poetry, and he always remembers the tiniest details, and he's doing all of it with the goofiest happy grin on his face.

But Steves favorite thing that Eddie ever did, wasn't even planned.

Wayne had a night shift, they were having a lazy night in at the trailer, and one of the neighbors, started playing a really lovey dovey song, pretty loudly.

Eddie got right up, and forced Steve to slow dance with him, even though Eddie, is a shitty dancer. Steve just snorted when Eddie tripped backwards over the coffee table and Eddie couldn't help but join him in laughing

They're both smitten.

Steve's bi-realisation coming from watching gangly limbed Eddie Munson running track for PE credit and those Hawkins High Shorts ™️ showing off so so much leg.

And he's so pale and littered with tattoos. And the second Eddie finishes his last lap he dramatically falls on his ass, sitting with his legs splayed on the brick red track.

And in Steve's head the exact words "those legs are like a spilled notebook of crude doodles and glorious art" followed immediately by "am I writing fucking mind poetry about Munson's white boy legs? fuck am I gay?".

He will learn about bisexuality in 14-22 months and a lot of things will click into place.

(Same universe as this)

Robin posts a TikTok captioned: New Roommate

The whole video is a compilation of her trying to film her crafts while Steve and Eddie are off-camera having the world’s dumbest conversations. It’s like:

Robin, on camera: *crocheting a blanket*

Eddie: I haven’t seen 12 Angry Men. What about that? Wanna do 12 Angry Men?

Steve: Not in one night. Jesus.

Robin, on camera: *making a mosaic*

Eddie: What’s it called when time is bisexual?

Steve: …Biweekly?

Eddie: That’s it. I get paid biweekly.

Robin: *restocking her bead cases*

Steve, walking into the room: - one to talk, you pissed in the sink.

Robin: What?!

Eddie: Not our sink.

Robin: *trying and failing to spin clay on a pottery wheel she bought*

Steve, loud: Dude, just talk. I get distracted by your hands and miss what you’re signing.

Eddie, also loud: Do. You. Want to. Door. Dash?

Steve:

Steve: Wow. Yelling at the hearing impaired? That’s so offensive.

Steve: Robbie, cancel him.

Robin, flat: Eddie, you’re cancelled. Trash duty for a month.

Eddie: A month!? You set me- *video cuts*

Robin, on camera: *trying to film a tutorial*

Eddie: Bisexual, huh? And you sleep with mostly women? Interesting.

Steve:

Steve: I can fuck your uncle if you’re concerned about it.

Robin: *opens her mouth to speak but Dumb and Dumber just walked into the room*

Robin: *rolls eyes at camera*

Eddie: *complaining in the background*

Eddie: Did you just turn off your hearing aids?

Steve:

Eddie: *aggressive jingling as he signs*

I want real freak Eddie.

I want Eddie who gets punched and then flashes his bloody teeth with a smile.

I want Eddie who carries a knife.

I want Eddie whose words can be crafted so finely and with such sharpness that you can just feel people’s insecurities start to bleed.

I want Eddie who fucks up his bullies’ lockers, mixing shaving cream and red food dye to lead to a frothy bloody mess spilling out of their locker when they open it.

I want Eddie to move with ‘I don’t give a fuck’ confidence.

I want Eddie to make throaty, growly vocalizations freely.

I want people to genuinely fear Eddie.

I want Eddie to tell his bullies ‘harder’ when they forget who Eddie is and foolishly go after him.

I want Eddie who steals a cheerleader’s uniform and fucks her jock boyfriend in it.

I want an Eddie who pulls Steve’s pigtails in school, watching as his offer to fuck him inspires equal curiosity and revulsion.

I want real freak Eddie.

I’m specifically referring to Eddie in this fic-

Boy with a Knife

(Okay so the bloody teeth thing was actually something I did… I flashed them at a teacher too. Was told to stay after class. Then he told me I was his favorite and sent me to go get changed)

Don’t recommend me Eddie in Dead dove do not eat works because I’m talking freak Eddie, not horrendous criminal scum of the earth Eddie.

Eddie fakes an asthma attack so he can hang out in the nurse’s office only to find Concussion 3000 already laying on the comfy cot and - “Wait, don’t - don’t leave me with him.”

Eddie looks at the retreating back of the school nurse and then back at Steve who had his arm thrown over his eyes. He holds his hands out like Steve might make a sudden movement and says, “Don’t die.”

“I will out of spite if you don’t shut up.”

“Then die, I don’t care.”

Those were the last words out of Eddie’s mouth before they both learn that enough head injuries can cause seizures.

Eddie: I've never had a best friend.

Dustin: I'll be your best friend!

Eddie:

Eddie, turning to Steve: I've never had a boyfriend either.

What if during season 2 when Steve and Nancy are dating, Steve sees a girl with cropped curly hair from behind and assumes it’s Nancy. Blame it on blurred vision or him just making an assumption and running with it, but either way he sneaks up behind her to pick her up as he’s done before.

But it’s not Nancy, it’s Eddie.

Eddie goes beet red and tries to say something clever but is blue screening. Meanwhile Steve quickly realizes his mistake and brushes it off with a quick “sorry” and immediately moves on.

Eddie on the other hand never forgets and will think about the stupid little noise he made when Steve picked him up, at 3am most nights.
