#steve harrington x robin buckley

Steve is NOT straight

Platonic Codependent Besties Steve x Robin (Steve is bi and Robin had no idea somehow, also a hint of Steddie 😉)

1K word one shot based on this text post by my buddy @steviesbicrisis because a lot of people liked it and wanted more of it lol (link to Ao3)

“Ha ha, very funny Harrington.” Robin said as she lay across her friend’s lap. Steve had asked her to paint his nails black, because he saw some rockstar do it and decided that he could too, even though, as Robin often pointed out, Steve was a pretty boy. I don’t HAVE to be a pretty boy. Steve would always respond. Steve…. Robin would say, ending the conversation. 

“What’s funny about it?” Steve asked, confused. When he’d asked her to do this, he didn’t realize that the best method would be for her to lay on top of him, her stomach on his thighs, weighing him down. He was in the corner of the couch, his hand resting on the arm of it, and Robin insisted that she needed to be eye level with his fingers to do it properly. Three down, seven to go.

“You know, sometimes your humor is just kind of annoying.” Robin said, frowning. She loved Steve, but he drove her crazy sometimes.

“I’m not joking?” Steve responded. Robin finished the fourth nail on his left hand and shifted to face him. 

“I just don’t appreciate you making all these jokes that you’re gay when you know I’m actually gay. It’s a little insensitive.” She turned back to his nails with a huff, focusing on his thumb so she could complete the first hand. 

“Usually, yeah, I would agree, except once again, I’m not joking. Wait, did you seriously not know…?” Steve’s confusion turned to shock. She has to know. We spend every waking moment together. I tell her everything. 

“Steve Harrington, you are not gay. Need I remind you of your blind love for Miss Nancy Whee-”

“I’m not gay, I’m bisexual. Where the hell have you been?” Steve asked, his shock now turned to anger. Robin sprang up from his lap, nearly dropping the bottle of nail polish in the process. “Careful, the carpet!”

“WHAT.” Robin exclaimed, taken completely by surprise. “No, no. We would have definitely talked about this before.”

“I thought we HAD talked about it.” He responded. “Like the time I drunkenly kissed Tommy at that party and then drank more to cover up the fact I liked it?” 

“Oh my God.” 

“And then last summer when I dated that guy Mark?”

“No shit, you were DATING him?” Robin asked, aghast.

“Uh, yeah. Are you being for real right now?” Steve asked. “I literally would tell you when we were going on dates.” 

“I thought you were saying that because I was going on dates with Vicki! I thought you were being cute!”

“Robin, when have you ever thought I was cute?” Steve asked, wanting to run his hand through his hair and stopping himself once he remembered his nails were still wet.

“OH MY GOD!” Robin screamed, jumping up and pacing the floor. “Oh my god. You’re right. It’s been there this whole time.” 

“Me swearing by using Farrah Fawcett hairspray and having a lesbian for a best friend didn’t tip you off?” 

“Okay, okay, don’t be too hard on me. You didn’t know I was gay at first either.” Robin said, crossing her arms.

“How the hell was I supposed to know that?” 

“Um, EVERYTHING about me??” Robin replied. 

“Not the same. We weren’t that close yet.” Steve insisted.

“Bullshit, we’ve been buds from the very first scoop, Harrington.” 

“Okay! Well, now you know I guess! Because for some reason I wasn’t CLEAR enough before?” Steve yelled incredulously. He’d moved from anger into being amused by the whole situation. “Jesus, does nobody know? Nancy? Dustin?” 

“I don’t think so. Oh my god I have to call everybody.” Robin said, her mind going a thousand places at once. 

“Slow down, Buckley.” Steve said, holding his right hand up. “Paint me first, out me later.” Robin couldn’t help but bark out a laugh, then resigned herself to lay across him the other way. She thought to herself in silence for a few moments, finishing two nails with ease.

“Bisexual. Holy shit.” She muttered.

“I gotta say, it’s pretty embarrassing that you never realized.” 

“I’m sorry.” Robin said sheepishly. She painted another two nails. Just the pinky left.

“No, I mean, it’s embarrassing for YOU.” He clarified. Robin elbowed him in the stomach.

“Screw you.” She finished the last nail and put the top back on the bottle. “You’re all set. Wait like ten minutes and you’re golden.” 

“Perfect. I have a metalhead I need to impress.” Steve smirked. Robin rolled off him so he could stand up, then blew on his nails to speed up the process. 

“You’re kidding.” Robin said, the realization hitting her.

“Robin, we’ve been over this…” His hands flew to his hips, but he was careful of his nails. He didn’t need them to be perfect - chipped nails were hotter anyway, everyone knew that - but he didn’t want black paint on his new sweater. Robin looked him up and down.

“Fine, whatever. Pretty boy.” She smirked. He glared at her, then down at himself. 

“Shit, you think I should change?” 

“Aw, come on. Munson’s had heart eyes for you since you met.”

“Well, I’d hope so. We’ve been dating for a while now.” 

“Shut up, no you haven’t. Am I an idiot? Is my gay card about to be revoked? How have I been so dense??” She ranted, theatrically. Steve laughed.

“Okay, that was a joke. I mean, we’ve made out a few times but we’re not official or anything.” 

“OH MY GOD!” Robin yelled again, unable to control her excitement. “So EDDIE knows you’re bisexual?”

“Uh, yeah. He taught me the word and everything like a week after we met. Seriously, Robin, I think you might actually be blind.” 

“Nancy will back me up on this.” Robin insisted.

“Whatever you say, babe. You go do that and I’ll go do some very non-straight things with Eddie.” 

“Okay, then. Hey Harrington?” Steve paused at the doorway, turning back to look at Robin. “When you tell this story to people, could you…not? I mean, could you leave out the part where I didn’t know?” Steve rolls his eyes.

“No can do, Robin. It’s the only surprising part of the story, and it’s hilarious. See ya later!”  

The door shut, leaving Robin alone in the empty room. She sat on the couch, replaying every conversation her and Steve ever had, going over every fact of him that she could recall.

Jesus. She really was dense, wasn’t she?

Imagine Steve playing matchmaker

Imagine Steve admitting he likes you when he asks you out only to find out you have a bit too much in common. You like girls too.

He's surprisingly cool about it and you become good friends.

Steve suspects Robin has a crush on you, which she denies (lamely) but he promised to keep both your secrets so he's having a hard time convincing his girls to just go for it.

Give me all the angst and hurt in the world for 500,000 words, but please give me the comfort I need in the ending. please and thank you.

“This is gonna be fun”

Ronance/Steddie (domestic fluff, implied hookups but very PG-13, beards/fake relationship, codependent besties Robin and Steve)

Summary: Robin and Steve, codependent roomies and best friends, start dating Nancy and Eddie. After an embarrassing mishap, they set some ground rules as a group, and ultimately decide to act as each other's beards.(inspired by this post by @bisexual-cryptid and @bastille-will-live-forever)

Robin, Steve, Nancy, and Eddie had been on quite the journey together. After Steve confessed his feelings to Nancy during a bout of apocalypse-based compulsive heterosexuality, things were a bit awkward between them. Because it wasn’t that they didn’t love each other, they did, they just didn’t love each other like that.

“God, I’m such an idiot.” Steve whined to Robin, after they’d saved the world (a fourth time). “I don’t know why I said that. I just think I thought it’s what I should say. What was I thinking?”

“It’s not crazy for you to be in love with Nancy, Steve. I mean, she’s smart, fearless, loyal, not to mention extremely beautiful-”

“I’m not in love with Nancy.” Steve cut her off. “But I’m starting to think YOU might be.” 

“Is it that obvious?” Robin asked, biting her lip. Steve’s eyes widened.

“What? I was joking! Wait, really? Oh my god!” 

“Process this however you need to, dingus.” 

“You ARE serious. Oh, shit.” Steve said, resigned. 

“Yeah. Oh, shit.” Robin agreed. 

Meanwhile, Steve was spending more time with Eddie. Robin would occasionally join, but she didn’t like smoking, so usually she instead hung out with Nancy, pretending she hadn’t fallen for yet another straight girl.

“So what’s going on with you and Robin?” Eddie asked Steve flirtatiously, as they sat across from each other in the trailer.

“Nothing.” Steve answered, coughing. “Just friends, always have been.” Eddie raised his eyebrows, intrigued.

“Huh. And Nancy?”

“Nothing with Nance, either.” Steve responded, handing the joint back to Eddie.

“You mean to tell me King Steve is entirely unattached right now? No women?” Eddie leaned in, smirking. Steve scoffed in frustration at first, annoyed at Eddie’s gentle teasing. But then he wasn’t annoyed anymore. He was…

“No women.” Steve confirmed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“ROBIN.” Steve burst through the door that night. 

“WHAT.” Robin responded from the kitchen, always matching her friend’s energy. 

“WE HAVE A PROBLEM.”

“WHAT.” She repeated, tumbling out to the living room. Steve and Robin had gotten this apartment together about a few weeks prior, and even though it was tiny, and they could barely afford to eat, they loved having their own space. 

“I, um.” Steve began, suddenly nervous. “I was just with Eddie…”

“Everything okay?” Robin asked, concern growing on her face.

“Yes! Yeah, yeah, yeah. He’s okay. He’s fine. Great, even.” Steve stammered. Robin looked at him, the corner of her mouth twitching upwards.

“You figured it out, didn’t you? Or, did he tell you?”

“Tell me what?” Steve asked, confused. Robin’s eyes grew wide. 

“Oh, uh, never mind. Anyway, what were you saying?” She asked, her tone getting higher with each word.

“Nice try. What do you know?” Steve insisted, his hand resting on his hip.

“I promised I wouldn’t say anything!” Robin panicked, running to grab a pillow from the couch, stroking it anxiously. Steve followed her, snatching the pillow from her hands.

“Since when do we have secrets?” Steve asked, worried. Him and Robin were always keeping each other’s secrets, not other peoples’. Robin grabbed the pillow back from Steve, lifting it to cover her face. 

“Secret. Singular.” She mumbled, her voice muffled. Steve pulled the pillow down. 

“Spill.” He demanded.

“Eddie totally has a thing for you.” Robin blurted out, smacking her hand over her mouth. “Shit! God dammit Steve!”

“What?” Steve blinked, bewildered. “Eddie likes me?!”

“Oh, I can’t believe I told you that. Oh, no.” Robin muttered to herself while Steve processed.

“Robin. I came here to tell you that I have a thing for him.” Steve confessed. 

“WELL THAT’S GREAT NEWS!” Robin exclaimed, relieved. She took Steve by the shoulders and shook him. “Hey, wait. Did we know you were bi?” 

“No, I don’t think so.” Steve clarified. “Okay, so since you told me your secret, I guess I have one for you.” 

“Steve! A secret? After you gave me so much shit about Eddie’s?” She smacked him on the chest, lightly.

“Nancy’s not straight.” Steve shrugged, smirking. Robin stared at him, blankly. Steve continued. “I’m only telling you this because she said I could. I just didn’t because, well, I thought maybe it was better if she told you herself.” 

“Steve. Are you fucking kidding me.” Robin said, stunned.

“Nope.” He shook his head. “So, I guess I’m going back to Forest Hills, and you’re going to the library where she’s currently studying, and we’ll meet up later?”

Robin was out the door before he’d even finished his sentence.

Robin and Steve spent the next few weeks mainly with Nancy and Eddie, respectively. They’d hide out in the only private places they had access to - basements, trailers, and a tiny apartment. Robin and Steve started talking less, their blushes and mussed hair upon returning home speaking loudly enough on its own. 

There weren’t a lot of places for closeted 19/20 years olds to hook up in 1986. So, the two couples were bound to run into each other eventually.

“The back room at the video store? Are you sure?” Nancy asked Robin one night.

“Yeah. I have the key, and Steve always leaves right after close to meet up with Eddie.” Robin assured her. 

“What’s wrong with your apartment?” 

“Um, well it’s kind of a total mess right now, and I really want you to keep being attracted to me.” Robin joked. 

“Fine. Let’s go.” Nancy smirked, grabbing Robin’s hand. 

Robin opened the front door, hearing the infamous jingle of the bell connected to it. 

“I hate that damn bell.” Robin muttered, closing the door behind them and locking it. She led Nancy back behind the counter, unable to stop herself from kissing her. 

“Robin, the windows.” Nancy warned, gesturing to them. “Wait, why is…?” Her gaze traveled to the door of the back room, left ajar, lights on behind it. Robin froze. 

Steve appeared suddenly in the door frame, his uniform in disarray. 

“Ew!” Robin said, turning away. 

“Why are you here?” Steve asked, entirely off guard.

“You were supposed to be gone by now!” Robin yelled, her hand covering her eyes.

“How are you guys not fired?” Nancy shook her head, amused. Eddie popped his head out next, buttoning his shirt with not a shred of humility. 

“Who is - Oh, hey Robin. Nancy. To what do we owe the pleasure?” Steve elbowed Eddie in the ribs, spurring a laugh. “Great minds, huh?” 

“Nope. Let’s never speak of this again. Come on, Nancy.” Robin insisted, pulling Nancy towards the door. 

“Your fly is down, by the way.” Nancy teased Steve as she left, his gaze shifting down and quickly zipping up his jeans. 

“Okay, we need a new system.” Steve told Eddie, who just chuckled in response. 

After those first few weeks of the honeymoon period, the four of them were able to hang out as friends. It was nice, being around people who they didn’t have to hide anything from. 

“I’m starving.” Eddie said, his eyes red from smoking.

“Me too.” Robin agreed.

“We could go out somewhere.” Steve suggested.

“Sure.” Nancy agreed. 

They ended up at the diner they always ended up at. It was cheap, decent food. Robin and Nancy took one side of the booth, and Steve and Eddie took the other.

“What can I get for y- Hey, I know you guys!” The waitress said when she arrived. 

“Julia, right?” Nancy verified, a big relief to the rest of the table who had completely forgotten her name. They’d all gone to Hawkins High together. 

“Yeah! It’s cool to see you all again.” Julia smiled, friendly. She took their orders before rushing away.

“I’m gonna run to the bathroom.” Nancy excused herself. She walked towards the bathroom, but was stopped by Julia a few feet away.

“Hey, Nancy.” She began. Nancy braced herself for whatever came next.

“Yeah?”

“You and Eddie, huh? I never thought you’d go for someone like him.” Nancy hesitated, then smiled.

“Oh, yeah. I guess you just never know who you’ll end up with.” Julia nodded in agreement, then whisked away to a different table. 

When Nancy returned to her friends, she worried she’d done something wrong.

“Nance, you okay?” Robin asked, squeezing her hand under the table.

“Yeah, um. Julia thinks we’re on a double date.” Nancy said, eyebrows furrowed.

“Well, we are, aren’t we?” Eddie asked, confused.

“Yeah, I just mean. She thinks we-” Nancy pointed between her and Eddie “-and you -” gestured to Robin and Steve “-are on a double date.” 

“Oh.” Steve said, thinking about it for a moment.

“I mean…” Robin added.

“You guys, it’s perfect.” Eddie interjected. “If people think I’m with Nancy and Steve is with Robin, which let’s be honest, everyone thinks Steve and Robin are together anyway…”

“I agree.” Nancy said, confident. “Nobody will question it.” 

“Aw, thanks babe.” Eddie replied to Nancy, playfully touching her hand on the table. 

“Don’t push it.” Nancy glared at him, smirking. 

“What do you think, Steve?” Robin asked, looking up at her friend.

“I’m in if you are.” He responded, shrugging.

“Okay, then. It’s a deal.” Robin said, giving in. 

The food arrived moments later, the waitress setting the plates down in front of each of them. 

“Can I get anything else for you guys?” Julia offered. 

“Robin, you want ketchup, right?” Steve asked, knowing full well that she did. She was always too anxious to ask for it, so he always did it for her. 

“Coming right up.” Julia smiled, leaving them alone again to grab it.

“Okay, well that’s not fair. It’s gonna be easier for you two since you’re already attached at the hip.” Eddie argued playfully.

“I don’t like ketchup.” Nancy said. 

“Oh that’s true, she doesn’t.” Steve and Robin said in unison. 

“Damn, I have my work cut out for me, huh?” Eddie sighed, chuckling lightly. 

“Keep up, Munson.” Steve teased, nudging his shoulder against Eddie’s. 

Julia returned swiftly, placing the bottle of ketchup on the table before departing once more. 

“Okay, Nancy, I guess you’re gonna have to tell me everything about yourself.” Eddie grinned at her.

“Don’t listen to him, Nance.” Robin assured her girlfriend. 

“Oh, don’t worry about me. He knows I can take him.” Nancy replied, cocking one eyebrow at Eddie. His smile dropped, taken off guard by the realization that he in fact had no power over Nancy. Everybody seemed to have feelings about him, whether it be annoyance, anger, disgust, lust. Nancy had none of that, which was kind of terrifying. 

“Okayyy, maybe this was a bad idea.” Eddie said, sinking back in his seat.

“Oooh, Nancy, you made him blush! I’m impressed.” Steve joked, resting his hand on Eddie’s thigh. 

“This is gonna be fun.” Nancy decided. Keeping her eyes locked with Eddie’s, she snuck her hand towards Robin’s under the table again, interlocking their fingers.

"The two of you married instead... I was so sure that you and Nancy were going to get together." I'm looking at Steve and Robin's hands. identical rings on each of their hands. On the right hand, they are married. Robin isn't shy about it, she shows off her rings coming over to me. Steve on the other hand is more focused on the fact that I'm here. Standing in front of him."We had a funeral for you and everything." It's hurt. The words are harsh and could cut right through the glass. 

They're aren't tears in his ears, but there's some sort of relief all in the same sentence. "Rob, He's right here and standing in front of us and you're concerned with showing off that fake ass ring." Steve is harsh and mean. I can only imagine. Dustin will be throwing and chunking shit at me."Oh yeah, I got over that the second I saw him. What's the point of yelling at him, he looks like he hasn't aged a day. Let's just go. We're too old to be fuckin' yelling at each other." Rob yells back at her husband, at Steve.

He rolls his eyes. I open my arms. In an attempt at a friendly hug, Robin is there within seconds. Steve watches, "Come on you dingus." I hear Rob mutter from the side of her face. I open my arms again and make more room for him. He comes over slowly, there's a little bit of a limp in his left leg. He manages and makes his way into our hug. There's a relief that hits my chest. The urge to cry is strong, but instead of crying I breathe steadily. 

I take in the time that Steve is giving the both of us. "What happened?" Steve whispers. I try to explain to come up with words, but a shrug is all I can give him and Robin. "Have you seen Dustin or any of the other kids?" I ask as Steve leaves the hug, Robin is still stuck. "Rob? Come on let the guy breathe." Steve fusses at her. I smile shortly at the way that they haven't changed a damn after nearly forty years.

"Sure we see Dustin all the time. His kids gosh they're like extremely like him. He tells them stories about the upside down all the time." Rob rattles off, Steve is back to rolling his. "Robin." He shouts, "Sorry." She apologizes but at who, I shrug my shoulders. "The other kids haven't left either. Everyone stayed right here. Dustin didn't want to leave after you disappeared. He felt like he wasn't doing the right thing, something about you being the best of friends and how you wouldn't dare leave if he had died." Steve says.

The three of us are standing in front of my uncle's grave. "What are you two doing here at the damn cemetery?" My thoughts running with the ADHD. Running back and forth between one and four different things. "Oh, we have to stop by and make sure that Steve's parent's grave look proper." Robin is pointing out a few rows forward, there's a huge mausoleum."We came to fix it up," Steve says coldly. I gather that he wasn't close to his parents. Close was the wrong word to pick. "They were dipshits and forced me and Robin to marry just so they would get the fuck out of my hair about how I wasn't married," Steve mumbles.

"Oh" Was all I could think of, so close was the worst word. "Steve’s parents were pricks," Robin says, she took the word right out of my head. I just shook my head. "We were at his funeral," Steve says simply as he looks down at Wayne’s grave. "Dustin was the one that told your uncle that you were gone. Dead. God Dustin gonna flip when he finds out you aren't dead. Oh shit Rob we have to go get Eds, Claire, and Beth from that camp class." Steve is rushing trying to grab Robins wrist.

"Hold on a fuckin' sec." She looks over at me. "We still live in Steve's house, it's brighter now. Come over in a few days. We can re-introduce you to everyone. Some people you never got the chance to meet too. I missed you, Eddie. Glad you're back." Rob says sweetly coming into my space and grabbing me tightly hugging me hard that it causes me to cough a little when she lets me go. Steve waves at me while the two of them walk away. I look down at Wayne’s grave. 

"I should have figured that this shit would happen once I left Lilly’s trailer. I bet you're loooking down at me with absolute horror at the mess I've caused for myself." I can imagine his chuckle and the roll of his eye as he’d wave me off. There’s something that I just miss about my uncle. Wayne had been through everything with me. It’s hard to imagine that I wasn’t there for him when he needed it the most that some other person was there. Regardless though I guess I have to suck it up and be glad that someone was there for him. 

The urge to sit down was strong. Sit down and not say a goddamn word just sit there in the warm air. “Wayne I wonder what your thoughts are on Y/n? She’s really pretty it’s hard sometimes for me to focus on anything other than that.” I whispered into the open air. Regardless of the answer that I thought I might have gotten from my uncle I never got an answer. Just the sounds of birds flying past and a few cars driving past the cemetery. I only sat on the grass for a few more moments. “I think I’ll go visit the kids if they even wanna see me.” 

With that, I got up and patted the hard headstone that had my uncle’s name imprinted on the marble stone. I took one last look at his grave before walking away. I had to get back to Lilly’s trailer. According to Steve and Robin, all the kids were still here, and Dustin has kids. He named one of those kids Eds. It makes me wonder on my walk back to the trailer park if he named his son after me. If my disappearance had that great of an effect on him. I wonder if he missed me that much. 

Had I not realised just how much I had affected Dustin’s freshman year of high school. Had I not realized just how important I was to Dustin’s life, how important I might have been to every one. I walk and walk until I somehow make my way toward the trailer. I’m not sure why I think that Lilly will continue to let me stay here. I might have to get a new place to stay, but I walk further up the porch. I don’t just walk in I can only aimigne catch Lilly in a rather compromising position. 

I wouldn’t want to make the only other person I know in this hollow and broken town uncomfortable. Maybe I was just thinking to hard about everything. Seeing Steve and Robin had only made me think more about the things that I had been taken from. That some evil force had taken me from y mtime and my friends all because of what. Was it all a sick joke on me. The best prank in the godamn wall. I knock hard on the outer glass door. The lights are on inside. But I think about just running, far away from her front door. That’s until she’s opening it and staring at me. 

“Eddie, you came back?” She asks ushering me back into the calm space she’s created. “I thought you just up the trailer earlier.” Lilly is dragged me towards her couch. I might had just woken up this morning and left, grabbing my boots and shoving them on before running out of her trailer. The ceiling was still staring at me, looking deep into my soul. “I just had to get out, it’s still just a tad weird to know my uncle isn’t here anymore. I went and vivisted him by the way.” I murmured as we settled on the couch. 

“You should have let me rive you there it’s a long walk to the cemetery.” Lilly said getting more comfortable on the couch. I was looking down at the contact she had created by grabbing my wrist and dragging me into the trailer. “I’m sorry it’s still weird for you. I should have realized that.” With that Lilly had let go of my wrist and retracted her hands into her sweatshirt pockets. I tried to say something but nothing came up to console her. “I bumped into some old friends, from my time I guess.” Lilly’s eye light up gleefully. 

“You did? Did they reconginze who you were? Are they nice?” Lilly asks about too many questions for my racing mind to answer them. “I think they weren’t mad for my disappearance. They invited me over for dinner. To meet the friends that were in that group.” I rattled off. Lilly was so close to me on the couch that i wasn’t able to focus. No girl not the many yearsthat I had lived in Hawkins was ever so attentive, or caring to me. It was an odd and new feeling one that scared the living shit out ot me. 

“Eddie are you alright?” Lilly asks, scooting somehow closer into my personal space. Not that that was the problem. It was more the fact I was trying desperately to keep all of my emotions under wraps in a rather difficult situation. “I… You’re… Yeah I’m okay.” I managed to sutter out. She looked down between us, like she had somehow noticed how much she had gotten close to me. “Oh shit I’m sorry I… I di– I didn’t mean to get all up in your space.” She mutters a small apology. “It’s alright Lilly, I’m a little hungryl, you?” 

She cocks her head in the cutest of ways. Her bangs flowing infront of her face. “You mean like do I want something for lunch?” She looks for more information in my eyes, and when I shrug my shoulder she gives up rather quickly. “I can make a mean grilled cheese.” It’s not great food, but it’s something that I can do for her as a weird thank you for letting me stay with her. “You can really make a mean grilled cheese why don’t you just show me, Eddie.” Lilly coaxed me, her brows raised like she was challenging me. 

I saluted her and went behind the counter to get a sense of the kitchen. Not that it was any, or much different from when I was living here. Not that I originally spent much time in the kitchen. Wayne had always cooked dinner, and when I was in the kitchen it was to put a bowl of spaghettios into a bowl and heat them up. I got tto work quickly though, only having to ask Lilly where a few things had been placed. Never did she come into the kitchen. I even heated up some soup to share together. 

When I was done cooking I strutted out of the kitchen and placed her plate infront of her. I wasn’t sure about a lot of things regarding Lilly. So, I made sure to grab her a set of utensil if she wanted them. The bowl of soup went infront of the two of us, I tired to sit further away from her just to give us a arms length of space. Lilly’s first bite could never have been better, a dealious moan fell from her lips, and the more she kept eating. The more my knees buckled at the sound. 

“HOLY SHIT Eds. This is fucking perfection.” She giggled as she wiped her face of bread and cheese crumbs. I tried to stuff my face so I didn’t have to say a single word. I wasn’t ver y trusting of my own voice. “Thanks.” I was able to get out with a mouth full of brunt cheese, and bread. There wasn’t much beside that little conversation, before Lilly was reaching for a remote. That my attentio was turned to the screen intfront of me. “It’s a flatscreen, really thin too.” Lilly said as she flicked back and forth between channels. 

The quality was mamazing better then anything I’d ever seen, and that wasn’t really anything to go based off of. “Are you okay if we watch something?” Lilly turned to look at me, her hair was up. Guess she had gotten upset by the random strands that I was coming to like very much. In a few more seconds I’ve returned my attention back to the bright and high quality screen. There’s some sort of dramatic show playing in the background as Lilly goes back to eating her food. It’s getting closer to evening so the sun is setting beautifully. 

“Do you remember me saying that I was invited over for dinner with my old friends?” I throw the question into the comfortable air. Lilly lifts her head from the pillow on the couch, her legs are tucked in her bottom. “Hmm yeah, what about it Eddie?” She asks, as Lilly tries to pay attention to both the tv show and my conversation with her. “I was thinking that maybe you could I don’t know join me? I know that you probably don’t really care, but I… I just really don’t want to go meet my old friends without you.” 

The words come out rather sentimental like. More like I needed her, like I wasn’t able to think about anything other then her. I just… the truth was that I didn’t want to feel out of place in a new place or rather a new time. We stare at each other, in the dimming room as the sky line turns darker and the tv screen becomes brighter. Lilly is staring at me, her eyes sparkle. Brown eyes staring hard into my own. “You want me to go with you?” She asks. “Yeah.” She smiles, “Yeah I’ll go with you, Eddie.” 

It’s for a few more days until, I gather myself and Lilly into her car and drive us down to Lake Nora. Lilly fucks with the radio in her car, “Do you have a certain music type you like to listen to Eddie?” Lilly asks me as I pull up to a stop light. Not that the trailer park is far from Lake Nora. In the time that I had been selling weed and other speicalitys in Hawkins I had only ever been invited to one King Steve party. That drive was creep as shit, something I’d rather not repeat. 

I turn looking at Lilly, “Don’t laugh now, I’m a metal head. I like the way the music rumbles through my bones. Used… I was a part of a band at one point here in Hawkins.” I offer my thoughts. She doens’t laughs, rather instead she finds a metal radio station. “Here you go, listen this until we get to your friends house.” She rests back in her seat and let’s calm unknowing in the music. The music is little odd, stuff that I’d never heard. But the guitar, and drums in the background broke through sounding rather familiar sorta. 

When I pulled up to Steve house the lights are beaming inside and there’s a few cars already in his drive way. A mini-van, and a few other compact cars. I move the car to make sure that we aren’t in any ones way if they need to get out before we ourselves leave. Lilly is in a pair of black jeans that have purposeful holes in them according to her. A red blouse that make sure her shoulders on visible. “So my friend in there.” I say eyeing the front door. “Yeah your friend in there?” Lilly echos me. 

“Steve, and Robin are married. Steve got a thing where his hair always has to be perfect. And then his wife Robin is really talkative. Like she’ll talk your ear off. I don’t know about anyone else.” I say with a sad shrug. “Eddie?” Lilly brings my attention up to her. “Eddie everything will be fine I promise you that. If you need to leave or you just feel out of place come find me. Okay?” Lilly whispers even though we’re alone in her car. I nod, and grab to unbuckle my seat belt before getting out of the car. 

The air is somehow different out of here. Just like it was when I first came to the this house to sell. The sound of Lilly’s passenger door closing makes me jump, as my eyes don’t dare leave the front door of Steve house. I don’t leave my trance until I feel Lilly’s hand slip into mine, another jump out of skin moment. “Come on Eddie, I’ll knock on the door.” She takes me and we walk towards the front door, when we make it to the porch I can hear the sounds of happy screaming children. No backing out. 

Before I know it Lilly is knocking on the door, and it’s a long pregnagnt moment of silence and waiting. Then the door is opening, Steves is staring at the pair of us. “Hey, I didn’t realize you were bringing someone with you.” he says calmly. “Yeah he didn’t want to feel to out of place.” Lilly speaks up for me. I smile and Steve only nods before opening his door all the way open. The sounds of screaming children pass again as we walk into his living room. There’s life in this house, such a contrast to the past. 

“Everyone is in the dining room, if you’d like we can just go eat now or you can met with dustin. You know he’s bound to freak out once he sees you.” Steve says as he takes Lillys coat from her hooking it around a hanger and into the coat closet by the front door. “Who;’s Dustin?” Lilly asks as she looks back over at me. “He was my kid best friend I guess.” I say trying to think how best to explain it. “Like a younger brother that I never got.” I say changing my mind. Steve laughs. 

“How about I just meet everyone all at once.” I suggest. Steve shrugs his shoulders. “Whatever you want man.” He guids us towards the dining room. Robin is the first one of to see us. “Eddie! You’ve made it!” Heads turn, and then everyone is staring straight into me. My sheild come up as I shuffle through the faces. Mike is there he’s got a little grew growing in his black shaggy hair. the red headed girl Max is older, but smiling holding someone’s hand I don’t know. Erica is staring at me with those scary eyes. Then there’s Dustin. 

I can still hear the kids running in the background. There’s like background music now. Dustin is staring me down, tears are floating at the edges of his eyes. He won’t stop looking at me. I grab onto Lilly’s hand. I feel like I’m floating and I need to feel like I have some sort of anchor. Lilly squeezes back, letting me know she’s there. “WHAT THE FUCK!?!” Dustin screams, someone, well everyone looks at him. There’s a new voice, “Dusty take a breathe please.” The female voice says. “I can’t fucking beialive this. Steve what the fuck is this??” 

Dustion is throwing cruse words around like they’re aren’t young ones around, just running past. “No I won’t fucking calm down either Suizs. He was fucking dead. And everyone here knows it. We all watched how he didn’t come back through the fucking gate. Don’t you dare tell me that this is Eddie. I don’t… you… i had…” For a moment Dustin calms down. I let go of Lilly’s hand, amking my way towards Dustin. “Dustin” I try, he looks up at me almost automatically. “I’m not some creep or some upside down monster. I’m just me.… I’m Eddie.” 

I mutter, there’s silence in the entire space of the dining room. “Dustin please just know that I’m here now and alive now. Let’s just eat and you can introduce me to your kiddos. I bet they’re just the best just like you kid.” I say softly. He looks like he’s crying, verge of tears. “Eddie.” He says quietly. “I thought… I thought you were dead.” He said, coming to hug me. I hugged him back, and let him take all the time he needed. “Hey kid, do you think we could eat.” I ask after a few long moments. 

“Yeah we can eat.” he says with a small chuckle. Steve and Robin had moved in two new chairs and everyone had made room for us to sit down. Dustin went back to his seat. “By the way this is my wife, Suize.” Dustin says as he sits back down. Dinner is already on the table. “We’ve got three kids, and we named one of them after Eds.” “Yeah Dad!” There’s a yelling coming from the other room, and I can’t help but smile at the sound of happiness and joy coming from the kid. Dustin rolls his eyes. “Kids” 

There’s peace and quiet in the moments of eating. “Steve is the best cook in town. I swear it.” I hear Robin mumble through a mouth full of food. Steve rolls his eyes at his wife not wife. There’s moreeating in silence, I don’t feel my heart beat as fast as it was before. What I can feel is a soft hand on my knee, rubbing a thumb over my kneecap. I don’t dare look over at Lilly. “So, who’s your friend?” I hear Erica ask. Of course it’s Ecria. I remember that kid always having so many little thoughts. 

“Well, she’s um…” I look over at her. I’m not sure how to describe it, so I give her the reins of this conversation. “Well I’m Lilly. I live in the trailer park.” Heads turn with forks in mouths. “The trailer park?” Dustin questions her. “Yeah kinda funny I live in Eds old trailer.” She answers with giggle. I can see the wheels turning in Dustin and Ercia heads. It’s as if a day hasn’t passed since they were in school and little kiddos themselves. “So you’re saying you live in Eddie old trailer? How’d that even happen to you?” 

It’s Dustin asking the questions. Everyone beside Ercia isn’t really paying the most attention towards our conversation, for reasons I don’t know yet. Maybe they’re all confused as to how I’m here. Along with the others who I’m not sure who they are just yet. “Well, if you must know I was great friends with Eds Uncle Wayne. I helped him a lot in the trailer park and he eventually gave me the trailer to live in. I helped with his funeral when it came time.” Lilly says softly, her hand has yet to leave my knee. Empowering the conversation. 

Once dinner is done or atleast everyone is done eating people are on the move to get onto the comfy large couch in Steve’s living room. “So there’s a few people you um…you didn’t get the chance to met.” Steve says his voice almost echos in the tall house. Everyone is now sitting on the couch. Two women are sitting next to each other, Max and a women with dark brown curly hair. “This is Max, who you know from before, and her wife Jane or El.” Steve introduces me to the pair. “Are you the girl with the powers?” 

I ask, there a tense that comes over the room. “Yeah, I once had powers, but haven’t needed them in a long time. It’s nice to met you Eds.” Jane says as she nudges into Max’s side. I can’t help but copy her as i do the same to Lilly. She looks over at me and smiles. Steve takes me attention by introducing me to someone new. “This is Mike, you know he was in your hellfire club, but you haven’t met Will. These two are married.” Steve says. I had known a few gay people that lived in Hawkins. 

“It’s nice to finally met you. I don’t know if you can tell but Mike really took a liking to your whole style.” Will says as he reaches over to give me a handshake. It’s firm but as he smiles at me I notice what he’s talking about. Mike had pratiaclly ripped off my style. Black jeans and leather jacket. I laugh at yet another thought of how much I might have imprint on these kids. Another thought comes up, maybe one of soreness and tightness. Maybe one that will make the whole room go silent but I cant think. 

“So the whole fighting Vecna thing?” I ask. There are a few strong inhales, like they hadn’t thought one day about it. “Yeah we killed that son of a bitch long ago, that was sorta the end of it.” Jane speaks up from her corner next to Max. Max giggles and kisses her wives cheek before shaking her head in agreement. “It was honestly revenge on my part.” Dustin says, there’s more tears but I’m not sure what they’re based on. “Once it was all over lots of people left town. Scared of how scary Hawkins was starting to become.” 

“Do you wanna meet my kiddos?” Dustin asks, Suize is starting to visibly fall asleep on her husband shoulders. They’re such a cute little couple. “Sure kid.” Lilly has yet to leave my side and I squeeze her hand once more, thank her sielntly for coming with me. “You’re welcome.” She murmurs before resting her head on my shoulder. “Kids do you mind coming in here?” Dustin shouts from his spot on the couch. There’s loud thunderish footsteps, “Hey Uncle Steve, dad what’s up.” “I have someone I’d like you to met.” Dustin points over to me. I smile wide. 

“This is your dads best friend from when he was still in school.” Dustin says, “Eds why don’t you met Eddie.” His kids eyes light up, “You’re my uncle Eddie, the guy I was named after, I can’t help but smile wider, “I guess so kiddo.” “I’ve heard so many cool stories about you, like how you totally were the best D&D DM ever, dad got me into that game by the way.” Eds say extasically. I laugh how similar the two are. “I was and still am the best DM.” I encourage him on. I love his style. 

He looks a little like his dad and a little like his mother. Curly hair, but a wide goofy smile. Clothes that I wished that I could have pulled off. “So how old are you Eds?” I ask him. He turns to his dad. “He just turned fourteen a few days ago.” I remember being fourteen and thinking that the world was ending, my dad wasn’t there anymore so I ran and ran until I got to Uncle Waynes trailer. “Well you make the most of it kiddo.” I say patting his shoulder, he goes off sitting next to Suize. 

“Come on Claire. Come meet your Uncle Eddie.” She’s more shy, her long hair is down to her back and she uses her hair as a coping mechinase to hide her anxiety. She moves slowly until she’s right infront of us. “You know I do the same thing when I’m nervous.” I say softly so no one else can hear me. Everyone is watching the both of us. “You do?” She says “Yup, I like to do crazy things like this.” I move my hair from behind my ear and rope it over my lips. Making a fake mustache beard. 

She giggles, and laugh before repeating me. “I like this!” She very verbal once you get her out of her shell. “So how old are you?” I ask, She swallows. “I’m eleven year old. I just got back from camp.” She says point down at her shirt. ‘Camp Lagoon’ Is written on her lime green shirt and a little beetle bug must be there mascot there. “She’s a fan of her science camps like Dusty here was.”Suize comments. Claire moves quickly to move into her mothers lap. “Hey Mama.” She says looking up at her. “There’s one more kiddo.” 

“Beth baby, you wanna come here.” Dustin calls out, There’s nothing for a few moments, then Steve is getting up and going to find her. Clarie and Eds have somehow fallen asleep on their mother. It’s cute and makes me heart ache just a little. Reminds me of my own mother how she always the sweetest women, never forget about me regardless of the fighting that happened between her and my shitty dad. “I’ve got her, she’s was working on some lego bricks.” Steve says. He kneels in front of me handing me the child. She just looks at me. 

“Hello Beth, how are you?” I ask, I’m guessing she isn’t to much younger then her sister. She looks down at my fingers and plays with them. “I’m otay,” Beth whispers. “You okay too?” She asks, I laugh at her whispering but play along. “I’m good too Beth, so how old are you then… let me guess!” I say, I pretend to think for a moment and I feel Lilly’s eyes on me I can’t help but blush from the staring. “I’d say that you’re nine.” It’s a totally shitty guess, she rolls her eyes, I look over to Dustin. 

“Beth is only six, smart little girl though huh.” Dustin comments, “She reminds me of someone I used to know, kinda of a smarty.” I commented, Dustin laughs loudly waking his sleeping child. Beth continues to play with my fingers and then Lilly starts to talk with her. “You’re such a cutie Beth.” Beth giggles and launches her head into my shoulder. “I think you made her shy,” I say looking over at Lilly for the first time in a while. Her smile is hard to miss, but there’s something behind her eyes. Like a longing for kids, the feeling. 

Beth ends up falling asleep on my shoulder, cozying up in my shoulder. Before I know it Dustin is trying to get up frm the couch with a kid in his arms, and one kid in Suizes arms. “Can you help us with Beth?” Lilly had fallen asleep on my shoulder. I get up slowly to let Lilly’s head move down to the couchison. I walk with Dustin and his wife towards the front door and their car. Beth weight doesn’t bother me at all as I watch and stand waiting for Dustin to buckle in his son. “Here’s Beth.” 

Once I get back into the Harringtons home. I’m being dragged by Robin towards the kitchen islands, “Shit Robin.” I manage to huff out by the time she��s stopped us. “You’re totally in love with that Lilly girl aren’y you?!” She asks, theres exctiemnt behind her eyes, and the sound of footsteps stops me from saying the truth of how I’m truely feeling. “God robin you can’t just spring that on someone.” Steve whispers, trying to lower the sound of our conversation. “So do you? Do you like that girl you brought with you?” Steve asks prolonging the conversation along. 

“What do you want me to say. I fell throug her fucking ceiling and now she’s just… she’s just so damn sweet and supportive. I’m not sure I should even…” There’s a pause in my throat. “So you do like her?” Robin beats the word like further into my head. “Maybe…” I saw softly as I look back through the doorway towards Lilly’s sleeping body on the couch. “We should probably get going…” I comment, “What before you go take some of dinner with you.” Steve says shoving a few tupper ware containers into my chest. Looking over at Lilly. 

I tried my hardest to juggle both the containers of food, and Lilly as I walked us towards the car. The food goes into the back of the car, and Lilly goes into the passenger seat. Lilly isn’t fully aware of what is going on around her, but once the engine starts in the car. She right back to sleep. Somehow the drive back to Lilly’s trailer is different. The air is cold, the streetlights stream through the car’s window. I keep looking back between the road and her. Somehow feeingl so utter alone even though I know I’m not. 

It’s weird how cruel your own mind can be to you. I try my hardest making my way towards the trailer park entrance. It reminds me of Chrissy. Driving down the dirt and gravel road with Chrissy sitting next to me staring off into space. I don’t think at all I was aware of what the reality of what was happening around me. I don’t even get out of my head until I hear her voice. It’s not Chrissy’s it’s Lillys and for some reason it calms me almost immediately. “Are we home?” She asks in a sleepy voice

“Rob, if I had any clue I wouldn’t be asking for your advice. That’s what you’re here for.” Steve throws his arms up in exasperation.

“How would I know? I can say with one hundred percent certainty that I’ve never noticed a man’s hands. Let alone, Eddie’s hands.” She rolls her eyes and scoops up a nearby stack of video returns.

“Oh come on. With the way he’s always throwing them around? You’ve never once thought about them? Like, what they might feel like or…whatever?”

She scrunches her nose at the thought. “Not even once. What are you imagining he’s doing with these fingers of his?”

“Just…y’know touching and stuff,” Steve stutters while a faint blush blooms on his cheeks.

“Touching what?” Robin leans in curiously.

“You know what?” Steve straightens up and awkwardly adjusts his vest. “Doesn’t matter. That answered my question.”

“Doesn’t answer mine.” She follows close behind as he tries to scurry away from the counter. “What is he touching, Steeeeeeve?”

He rolls his eyes, trying to feign annoyance, as he slips into the back room. She doesn’t let the door shut between them, and instead leans against it keeping it propped open.

“Come on, dingus.” She crosses her arms and gives him a cocky look. “What are you fantasizing about Eddie’s fingers doing to you?”

A choked gasp happens within earshot near the new releases, Robin’s head whips over to the sound.

Eddie’s giant chocolate colored eyes stare back, and Robin’s eyes flick to the broken bell over the front door.

“Shit.”

“Trust me, you don’t want to hear what I’ve imagined Eddie’s fingers doing on, around, or in my body, R-Ro…” Steve stalls as he steps into the doorframe seeing the man of the hour himself, gawking at Steve’s admission.

“In?” Eddie squeaks.

steve having a cat that refuses to be touched by anyone but him (it tolerates robin by extension ofc bc it has accepted the reality that they’re a package deal), and eddie gets warned by the entire party that steve’s cat hates people who aren’t steve or robin. eddie’s fully prepared to get scratched the fuck up, but the cat’s almost as friendly with him as it is with steve. huh. weird.

meanwhile, steve’s poor cat is trying to figure out a way to get its owner to stop being so sad all the time, and when one of the strange people he spends time with makes steve smile, the cat is determined to keep him around at all costs.
