56! Love a clueless flirting moment

thank you for the prompt @hamiltonsteele 🖤

56: "Are you flirting with me?"

The thing was Steve knew what his strengths were. Sure he couldn’t crack a Russian code in a matter of days and sure he couldn’t build a state of the art radio tower, but he did know how to read social cues.

“He’s definitely flirting with me, Rob. I’m telling you, I’d know.”

Robin sighed, dropping her head onto the Family Video front counter with a small thunk.

“We just don’t know that, do we?”

Steve bristled at her tone. Maybe they’d had this exact conversation three separate times before, and a variant of it at least another four, but Steve just couldn’t get it out of his head. Robin should be able to understand that.

Eddie flirted with him and it made him feel… nervous? Nervous wasn’t the right word though. His stomach would flip and his hands grew clammy but he wasn’t nervous. He wasn’t even sure he knew how to get nervous.

Steve opened his mouth to respond, to argue his case further, but stopped short when he saw Robin grinning at the door. 

He turned to look in the same direction, scrambling for something to do when he realised Eddie was about to walk into Family Video. His hands landed on the tapes he had yet to reshelf— it was supposed to be a job he did as soon as they were returned and rewound but it was a slow day and no one was desperate to rent Hey There It’s Yogi Bear.

Eddie worked across the lot at Thatcher Tyre. It wasn’t a job he loved, he liked tinkering with cars and had to do so with his piece of shit van often enough, but he spent more time trying to do anything but work; which included finding excuses to bother Steve and Robin while they were on shift. Only the discount he gave to his boss, Thomas, on the wares of his side job saved him from being fired.

Whether it was the numerous concussions or the lack of air conditioning, something possessed Steve to turn to Robin before Eddie reached the door to say, “I’m going to flirt back and then you’ll see.”

Robin stared at him, mouth agape but somehow still seeming unimpressed for so long that Eddie reached the counter and was able to shoot her a concerned glance before he began speaking.

He coughed pointedly into his fist. “How are you two beautiful people on this fine day?”

Steve surreptitiously kicked Robin in the leg as he leant forward on the counter, resting the weight of his upper half on his elbows and crowding into Eddie’s space the same way that he always did to Steve.

“Much better now that you’re here.” He shifted to reach past Eddie to drop the tape back onto the re-shelving pile, successfully looking as if he’d done any work that morning. “We were just talking about you.”

Eddie raised his eyebrows, smirking slightly. “You were? I hope it was nothing bad.”

Steve chuckled slightly. “It’s always bad, but something tells me you don’t mind that.”

“Well,” Eddie’s smirk grew wider. “It depends if you prefer me bad.” He reached out to play with the zipper of Steve’s vest, the noise of the metal clicking against itself sounding louder than it should have in Steve’s ears.

He swallowed thickly. His brain was starting to conjure up images of exactly what Eddie meant about being bad. He’d seen the handcuffs, he’d heard a few stories told when they were high and had no inhibitions left. He didn’t think it was something he was interested in but maybe he was wrong.

It wasn’t fair that Eddie made him feel like this.

He glanced at Robin out of the corner of his eye.

She was still staring at him, but this time her expression was a mix between disappointment and intrigue. An interesting combination to be sure.

“So, what can we do for you, Eddie?” Robin asked, nudging at Steve until he was forced to stand up from the counter and out of Eddie’s space.

Steve glared at her when Eddie half turned to face the horror section. Posturing.

“Maybe I just wanted to see my favourite people,” Eddie batted his eyes lashes at Robin and rolled so he was looking up at her, belly up. “Maybe I would like a personalised recommendation from the only other person in this godforsaken town who understands real cinema.”

He stayed there, blinking and making a fool of himself until Robin groaned and rolled her eyes.

“Fine.” She moved over to the computer and Steve slid straight back into his spot.

Since Eddie was practically laid over the counter and Steve was deliberately pushing himself forward, they were closer than they’d probably ever been. Sure they had been close when they were high or drunk, using one another as legrests, pillows, blankets, but Steve had never gotten such a close look at Eddie while he was sober.

There was a lot of Eddie to look at, he made himself a lot to look at. From how clothes to the way he carried himself, everything about Eddie screamed “look at me!”

But there was one thing he just couldn’t take his eyes off.

“Did you change your shampoo?” He twisted one of the curls at the side of Eddie’s face around his pointer finger, marvelling at just how soft it was.

Eddie’s hair was a bit of a mystery. Steve had seen the products he used, 2-in-1 soap and nothing else, but it somehow worked for him.

Only now it looked shinier. Definitely healthier.

Eddie snorted. “Mrs Henderson sent some with Dustin last time I took him to the arcade. Said she had this kind of hair when she was growing up and if I don’t start looking after it now it’ll all fall out.”

Steve nodded, he knew that. There was an article about it in one of the magazines his mother always left on the coffee table.

He grew bolder combing his fingers through the strands, feeling their silkiness over and over again.

“It looks really good on you,” he said softly, almost distractedly.

“Stevie,” Eddie said slowly, deliberately. “Are you flirting with me?”

“Um,” Steve squeaked, he didn’t think he was going to be asked about it. “Yes?”

“Oh. Cool.”

“I’m sor—“ Steve pulled his hand out of Eddie’s hair to tuck it into the pocket of his work vest.

Eddie cut him off quickly. “Do you want to go out with me?”

Steve blinked. Somehow he hadn’t considered this as a possibility when he started.

“Like on a date?”

“Yes.”

Did he want to go on a date with Eddie?

Did he want to go on a date with a boy?

And when he thought about it, yes, he really did.

“Okay. Yeah.” Steve smiled. “Yeah, I would really like that.”

Eddie beamed at him. His whole face smiled when he did, his eyes crinkled and his tongue poked out slightly between his teeth, and he was perhaps the most beautiful thing Steve had ever seen.

And it took playing along with what Eddie was probably only doing as a joke for him to realise.

Maybe he was as stupid as Dustin like to say he was.

He laughed. He couldn’t help it.

“Do you want to grab a movie?”

Eddie took a second to respond, seemingly lost in whatever thoughts about Steve he was having. His pale cheeks pinked up as he realised.

“Yeah, I’ll just go—“ he turned on his heel and disappeared into the stacks with a murmured comment about having a date with Steve Harrington, who’d’ve thunk.

“Steve?” Robin asked.

Steve, distractedly trying to spy Eddie through the small gaps between the display stands, replied, “Yeah?”

“Is there something you want to tell me?”

“I think I might be bisexual.”

Todays rip: 13/07/2023

Crompton Racing

Season 3 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips Volume A

Ripped by Grambam36, Rabid, Bápo Numnum, Myaggic, Twonko (Bápo Numnum is on Discord as @/venturiantale)

This won't be a recurring thing, I promise, but yesterday's post just reminded me of another rip from the same event that I NEED to talk about. Despite how batshit insane it is - or perhaps even because of it - Crompton Racing is a perfect demonstration of the creativity of the SiIva team.

I feel like its easy to get the assumption when looking at some of the channel's takeovers that they kind of "box in" rippers creatively. Hell, for some takeovers like The Harlem Shakeover in Season 6, part of the point WAS to make all rips feel extremely similar, all using the same joke with little variation to it. That's of course an exception, since most takeovers only last a day and by extension only really reach around 10-30 rips total. But even within that time, I imagine its easy to think that all the content posted is going to feel pretty tangentially similar.

This sentiment applied to me back during It's "It's Everyday Bro" Day Bro, the one-day takeover discussed in yesterday's post where every rip uploaded spoofed Jake Paul's 2017 disasterpiece. Though I personally love the source and the event by extension, I'm sure there were a lot of people who grew fatigued of the song's sound, even with the takeover being just one day. Thus, to buck that trend we have whats probably my favorite rip made during the takeover - Crompton Racing.

Rather than playing solely off of It's Everyday Bro, this rip is a YTPMV of Jake Paul's entire channel - every audio source stems from one of his videos, be it vlogs or the aforementioned song the takeover is built around. Chocobo YTPMVs are almost always golden due to the good mood the source track itself instills, yet knowing just how much Jake Paul you're consuming all at once as you're listening just makes it all the funnier. These poor bastards decided willingly to sift through so much obnoxious Vlog-content to find the most apt audio sources possible to use for this one-day event, and it paid off in spades!

Grambam36 is a veteran ripper on the channel and specializes in YPTMVs, which I 100% buy from the quality on display here. Crompton Racing's visuals in particular completely sell the rip, driving home just how much Jake Paul content is being played all at once. Its a wonderful display of just how much can be done to still surprise viewers under a takeover: When everyone knows what to expect, the surprises hit all the harder.

i love tim. he's like hrmph. i am mad at you and you're going to KNOW i'm mad at you because i am going to very visibly pout - not at you! just whenever i'm near you! - and look very pointedly Away whenever there is the slightest chance you might drift into my eyeline. but also for real he wears his emotions SO openly and constantly i . i want to unhinge my jaw and hold him gently in my mouth like a frog. i'm very heavily drugged up on cold medicine right now. i love you. do you think tim and brady watched deadpool together.

anon. anon. i am waiting for you to get better from your cold and then kissing you on the mouth!! he's so pouty. he will put himself in your eyeline but not talk to you so you know he's ignoring you. hes weaponizing this tactic so hard with his stall next to brady's in the locker room. he's got his shiny expressive eyes, a mouth that always wants to be smiling and is touching his teammates whenever physically possible. he can try to hide what he's feeling but it's never going to work he's way too sincere.
