@steddie-week Day 1: Secret relationship

What does rockstar Eddie Munson get up to backstage?

[septsaph]

these pieces have a companion fic!! go read it its AMAZING

[septsaph]

"Make a wish." Steve wishes he could tell his younger self that it’s all going to be alright. That the pain won’t disappear, but that it will ease. That loneliness will leave and love will come. That life still sometimes fucking sucks, but overall it’s going to be okay. Steve is going to be okay. Even when it all comes crashing down, they are going to make it work somehow. He is going to be okay. 

I commissioned the insanely talented @mardyart to draw one of my favourite serene little moments from my steddie fic I know I've kissed you before (Can I try again). I cannot thank Mardy enough for this, the art is absolutely breathtaking and captures the vibe so perfectly. Mardy also currently has commissions open and you should totally consider commissioning them.

💫 NEW SOFT STEDDIE for your Sunday pleasure. You’re Light Years Away. Fiction inspired by the ever wonderful LogieDraws (@logiedraws - IG)

✨✨✨✨

“What’s on your mind man?” Eddie takes a slow drag from his cigarette. Steve notices the angle of his jawline and the way his cheeks pull in as his plush lips purse around the thin paper as he inhales. He looks down at Steve, who’s got his head in Eddie’s lap.

You. Always. You. Steve thinks. “Hmmm?” He hums instead.

Eddie softly snorts. “You’ve got that far away look again Harrington.” His eyes are tender. They linger on Steve’s long enough to make his heart palpitate.

“Do I?” Steve asks playfully and Eddie turns his head. Steve doesn’t know if it’s because he’s shy or indifferent. With Eddie it’s always hard to tell. One thing he knows is that he always felt aimless once Eddie’s eyes stopped holding his.

Steve shifts his head a bit in Eddie’s lap, playing it cool. Like being around Eddie didn’t always make him question his whole life. He takes a slow drag from his own cigarette and lets the smoke drift from his lips.

And then Eddie is gently combing his fingers through Steve’s hair and the earth stills if only for a moment. His mind quiets. He leans his head into Eddie’s touch and closes his eyes.

Eddie looks down again, his eyes shining warmly against the soft evening light. Steve’s eyes flutter open just in time to catch the gentle pull of Eddie’s dimples.

“You know, you can tell me anything. You know that right?” Eddie’s voice is smoke rough, and Steve can’t ignore the way it vibrates down his chest and into his hips.

“Yeah, I – I know.” Steve fumbles.

“Okay.” Eddie smiles. “So what’s on your mind Steve?”

Steve goes quiet, his words caught in his throat, unable to catch up with his feelings. So he points up at the sky.

“Hey, is that the little dipper?” He asks in a futile way to change the subject.

Eddie squints back up at the sky and chuckles. “Actually that’s the big dipper. See over there?” He points his finger further north, and Steve’s eyes follow Eddie’s hand and all his chunky rings. “That’s the little dipper.”

“Oh yeah.” Steve sighs. “I see it now.” He smiles.

Eddie hums. “Yeah. Just a couple hundred light years away,” he says, smiling softly at the sky.

He returns his hand back to Steve’s hair and turns to look at him.

They watch each other in silence and it’s not awkward. It’s almost understanding. Eddie shifts his hand and gently runs his thumb down Steve’s cheek. His breath studders.

“Shit man, I might be way off base here.” Eddie says. His voice a little shaky. “Fuck, I really hope I’m not.”

Eddie caresses his cheek once more and bends low, moving carefully, watching Steve with lustrous eyes. He trails his finger along Steve’s jawline and ever so softly drags his thumb down his lower lip and to his chin, like Steve was the most delicate thing he’s ever touched.

Maybe he was.

Steve’s breath catches. He tilts his chin up, his lips part. Eddie’s curls tickle across his face, shrouding his dark features in shadow but Steve still catches the moment of hesitation in his eyes.

So Steve reaches up and pulls Eddie’s face closer. Their mouths whisper against each other. Their breaths meld together. Eddie lets out a shaky breath and closes his eyes. Steve pulls him in closer and their mouths meet for the first time.

It feels like home.

It feels infinite.

Like two stars side-by-side.

Just a hundred light years away.

"Put your lips close to mine, as long as they don't touch. Out of focus, eye to eye, 'till gravity's too much."

🦋

Thank you all once again for trusting the process with me.

I am in love with this piece. A Red concept brought to life.

They feel, they know. Yet confessing makes it real. Something to act upon. But as long as they are silent they get to stretch the unspoken truth between them. Both an abyss and a bridge to cross through. A bright light they both choose not to look at, and neither the perfectly shaped shadow of their bodies standing so close they look like one. Light butterfly touches that need no justification. Sharing warmth, and gazes, secretive smiles under the wing of the autumn, where the decay and decadence of perishable life feels a lot too much like a foreshadowing of their untold story.

But they feel.

And they know.

A new little something

[septsaph]

the fruity four but make it hollywood au (1/x)

actor!steve who’s newly famous for his leading role in last year’s hit romantic comedy, everybody and their mother is in love with the guy, his face is on every fucking billboard across the country, he’s charming and funny and god is he attractive and eddie is so fucking over it.

eddie munson--lead singer and guitarist for successful metal band corroded coffin--doesn’t even know steve harrington but he’s annoyed by him nonetheless. by what, he’s not really sure. his success? his popularity? how his face is literally everywhere eddie turns? who knows! eddie writes him off as another one hit wonder actor who will flop in his next feature or burn out in the next five years from doing too much too fast and not being able to handle the workload or the stardom

but then he meets steve at some 30 under 30 in hollywood party, and he's not at all how eddie expected. they become sort of friends that night, and in the following weeks eddie starts to learn more about hollywood's newest heartthrob

like how steve never really wanted to be an A-list actor, how he never saw himself in the romcom game at first. he learns how steve got his start as a stunt double on a couple of decent coming of age/teenage hijinks action adventure films, how he spent most of his twenties absolutely broke, living paycheck to paycheck and constantly worried between jobs

how steve met his best friend robin (a makeup artist) on the set of his first real gig, and how he pulls her in to any and all of his projects now that he’s a big name (not that she isn’t talented in her own right, she’s damn good at what she does, but they've always looked out for each other like this in the near decade they've known each other). she's been his "date" on more than one red carpet this year, and every couple of months steve has to publicly squash the dating rumors that start to circle them

how steve met his ex-girlfriend nancy wheeler (yes, that nancy wheeler, picture perfect girl-next-door older sister on one of the most famous sitcoms of the last decade) when she starred in a movie where steve was her co-lead’s stunt double, how they dated for about a year and then broke up but stayed friends, even when she went through her rebellious phase and broke out of her cookie cutter miss-teen-perfect shell and had a bit of a "wild child" phase before settling into the indie film scene for a while and fading into the background for a couple of years

how steve never wanted to be an actor--like, not even a little bit--but on this one gig he flirted a little too much with this one casting director that he really liked, and then the next thing he knows he’s being cast as a supporting part in a six part mini series that sort of blew up one summer before everyone immediately forgot about it when fall programming began airing

fast forward a year or so and he’s still doing stunt work--with name recognition comes a steadier stream of gigs, so he's happy with what he's doing, he likes stunt work--when something goes wrong and he gets a pretty bad concussion (just another in a long line of them) and his agent tells him it might be time to hang it up for good for the sake of his health

but he doesn’t know what else to do, he has a little money saved from the mini series but it’s not enough and he needs a new plan, and robin--sweet, sweet robin--tells him about this movie she’s about to start working on where the male lead had to back out last minute and the directors are scrambling and she may have slipped steve’s headshot to the casting director when she caught him having a breakdown in the back room of the studio...

...and that's how steve gets his big break, starring in a well written romcom with an unknown cast that does big numbers at the box office, launching all of them into stardom overnight

and eddie is fascinated by all of this because, well, he thought steve was for sure a nepotism baby or some shit because he’s pretty sure steve grew up with money (he did, but he left it behind to move to LA and pursuit his dreams) and eddie just assumed his dad was a big name producer or something and that’s how steve got into all of this

so the two of them start hanging out and they become fast friends, always photographed getting coffee together trying to avoid the paparazzi or showing up to hollywood's hottest parties together (in an attempt to get both of their agents off their backs and actually show their faces in public) and buzzfeed starts to write these articles about how they're the most unlikely of friends

it takes them six months to start dating.

it takes another year before the press catches wind of it, and by that time they're already living together in a three bedroom luxury apartment in LA with robin and nancy sharing a place right down the hall. steve bought a ring. it sits in robin's sock drawer so eddie won't find it before steve's ready to pop the question
