OK HEAR ME OUT
So like I’m always writing (I just never post) but like I sort of want to write a one shot (after the long list of shots that I have in my drafts) of Rehab Steddie. Like just imagine the Angst and how perfect it would be.
Tw: mentions of drug use, overdosing and alcoholism
Steve is the one to go in first, after the events of Season four he went a little to hard on the alcohol so he’s in there for that plus his parents found out he was using weed so that’s also on the list of drugs he’s using. So when he goes in he’s scared but it’s nice to know that someone will take care of him. Like the nurses are so nice to him and think he’s a sweet heart.
Then there’s Eddie. He comes in months later. Which within this time Steve is just volunteering at the Rehab and helping out as much as he can with the people there. (Most of them not getting dealt the right hand in life, he avoids the more violent ones of course) of course Steve is still recovering but in a healthier way. So when Eddie comes in he’s shocked. Of course it shouldn’t be a surprise but like Eddie did sell drugs for a long time why wouldn’t he touch some of his supply?
Though it’s heartbreaking to see the boy who didn’t overdose to long ago slowly recover. Eddie has the shakes, gets overwhelmed easily, has a difficult time walking without getting light headed and very very snippy with everyone. So he refuses to talk to anyone. But Steve finally gets the nerve to come up to him as he’s sitting near a window staring off into space. Obviously not watching the birds outside.
Steve lays a purple pair of D&D dice that Dustin gave to him months ago on the table in front of Eddie. Who looks startled and nearly shoves Steve against the wall again. But the thing is Eddie is relieved and surprised that Steve is there as well. Why is pretty boy Steve here of all places. So Steve sits across from him and just pulls out his own sketch book as he starts to do what he used to when he was recovering and just doodle, write every though that pops in his head, draw. So the both of them stay there in silence until Steve has to head home.
But the thing is the two slowly start to get close. Eddie doesn’t talk to much, his mask of being the overly energetic chatter box pulled down. But when he does talk it’s slow and he soft. Steve has to listen close and he can’t help but smile at the stories he’s told. Soon they are playing cards, then candy land, then going outside for walks. Up until the anniversary for when Nancy called him bullshit. Then Steve disappears.
Eddie was really recovering because of the visits and because the staff knows that Steve has problems of his own everyone starts to worry. So a few weeks pass and Eddie’s slowly starting to feel better but he’s now staying there for his mental health as the building is shared.
So it’s to his surprise (and everyone’s) when Steve comes stumbling in the door clearly drunk and stoned out of his mind and it’s clear he’s lost some weight. Though Eddie wants no needs to help his friend. The nurses don’t want to let him but let him help Steve who is slurring every word in tears. Apologizing to Eddie who is shocked that the perfect boy in his eyes was like him.
“I’m so sorry- I didn’t mean to relapse. It just happened- E please don’t be mad at me. I tried so hard.”
LIKE I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS FOR THIS 😭 IM GOING TO TRY WRITING IT SOON THOUGH!
Though please I’m so bored, please start leaving asks in my box and request stuff I love going through it (though I prefer to have short and easy requests as I’m having difficult time writing full one shots so one scene would be easier for me to do :)
