season 3 'verse steddie where eddie has a crush on steve who's working at scoops ahoy. he knows that. he's accepted that. he watches steve flirt with girls and scoop ice cream for a living with the robin buckley, who he knows that's a member of the band.

he's accepted that.

then he sees steve letting four kids use the backdoor for staff only several times in one month.

and eddie is smitten.

then he sees steve give free ice cream to two kids discreetly, one with long red hair and one with short brown hair. eddie realizes that steve only gives the two girls free ice cream and not the three kids.

and eddie is sighing dreamily.

then he sees steve jumping and smiling and laughing while greeting a kid. was that them play fighting with an imaginary lightsaber??

oh eddie is so fucked.

this steve is so different from the king steve that reigned in hawkins high years before. and eddie is mesmerized by it.

king steve that was a douchebag?? is now soft and careful with kids??? apparently he also gives free ice cream to kids??? he also knows starwars and play fights with an imaginary lightsaber with a kid???

oh, this is bad for one eddie munson. his heart has already fallen in a freefall. just observing and looking at steve who is so smiley and awkward and caring is enough to make his day but not quite enough to calm his heart that wants to be the reason for those smiles, the subject of those awkward flirting and be the one to provide care and love.

eddie groans and lets his head fall with a thud on the counter.

thinking about steddie omegaverse au with confident omega steve harrington.

just strutting into hawkins high with no scent patches on his neck and wrists, letting his cinnamon-like (spicy & woody with a tinge of metallic) scent permeate the air not caring about other people's reaction.

because of this, his nose had become more sensitive. he's learned to differentiate scents from one another and from his own.

with enough anger inside him, he punches any assholes who hit on him, alpha or not, before they even finish what disgusting lines they have ready for the day

this is him rebelling, his parents disappointed in having a male omega as their first born when they are both alphas. this is him raising his middle fingers in his parents' face. he's gonna let the whole town know that a harrington is an omega.

he leaves broken hearts on every step and smirk, not even a bit apologetic. he very much clearly said its only a one time thing. they agreed. they shouldn't be chasing steve like this.

its sophomore year when he first met eddie munson. eddie interrupting steve making out with an alpha he doesn't remember. steve just liked her scent and entertained the girl's approach.

eddie didnt actually interrupt their make out session but more of steve taking a whiff of his scent when he's taking out some papers and a small recrangular tin can from his locker to steve's right.

it's a weird mixture of natural scents, sweat and weed, and his own scent that has steve wanting more. steve can't pinpoint an exact name for it. it's like when the sun shined bright the whole day then a heavy rain falls, the moment the rain stopped and you get out, that's eddie's scent, only muddier, reminds him of trees and mud and wet ground. calming, natural, safe.

steve's mind is full of it that his eyes follow eddie walk away while the alpha in front of her whines and spouts some nonsense.

junior year comes and steve still thinks about eddie at night and wonders why his scent stood out from the rest. steve got used to the onslaught of different scents he smells everyday, he can tune those out easily, but eddie's scent piqued his interest.

eddie who is the school's resident nerd and weirdo, the freak to steve's the king.

somehow, even how the school is small, steve seldom encountered eddie and his distinct scent. steve can't fault him too, eddie's crowd normally stays away from steve's.

the next time steve sees eddie, his scent is muted, easily covered by other scents in the vicinity, but steve can still smell it. eddie's sitting with the hellfire club members while steve's with the basketball team.

eddie ties up his hair and there steve sees several scent patches. whereas other would use two for each side of their neck, eddie has at least four, two on each sides.

from then on, it got harder and harder to pick eddie's scent from the crowd whenever their in the same space. and that pissed steve off. he wants to be near eddie, wants that scent that makes steve feel calm and safe to surround him all the time, wants that alpha he chose for himself.

he wants to be near eddie again and he's gonna do everything to do that.

steve (intentionally) offhandedly mentions about a dnd club in school to dustin and lets dustin do the work. of course he pretends to be angry about the kids asking him to ask the club manager if they can play with them. of course he agrees after four times of saying no.

steve knocks into the drama club's room that turns into hellfire club's room in wednesdays and fridays. how did he know? he doesnt wanna talk about it.

it opens after a few moment and eddie is in front of him. the scent is muted but present nonetheless and steve leans into it.

"what is a royalty doing in the peasants' room?" eddie raised a brow, holding the door open just for half of his body to be seen.

steve took note of it. protective of his pack. strong-headed when needed. willing to shield his pack using his body. steve is weak at the knee.

"my friends want to know if they can play dnd with your club?" steve smiles, let's his scent do the talking. because eddie might be using scent patches but steve does not.

he's pretty sure he's used the wrong term or asked it in a wrong way but hey, he's talking to eddie now.

someone shouts inside and eddie looks at him. steve was about to blurt out something but eddie says, "meet me here after school and we'll talk about your friends."

steve raises his pinky, he gotta make sure eddie's serious. he used the kids' weakness to be close to eddie so he needs to make their wishes come true.

"my friends would be really hurt if you don't consider," he explains and wiggles his pinky. eddie quickly curled his own pinky to steve saying, "promise. now go, before your team see your presence here and ruin my game again," and closed the door with click of a lock.

steve decides to spend the few fours to talking to his team and making them pinky promise that they won't go anywhere near the hellfire club anymore.

steve can't have these dumbfucks ruining his plan to be close to eddie enough to ask if he can court him because fuck traditions. he'll court the alpha he likes because he can. he'll protect the alpha he chooses because he can. because steve wants to.

steve quickly clocked on that robin has a massive crush on nancy. it's pretty easy when robin spent most of the hours they're together in telling steve how she acted when she liked someone.

then nancy started to visit the store quite frequently. it's not really something nancy does but she's a customer so. then she subtly starts small talk with robin everytime and steve went "hmm? oh."

so steve creates every opportunity in his power to make robin and nancy talk and spend time together.

"sorry robbie, i ran out of gas. i can call nancy to fetch you tho." steve did in fact ran out of gas but it resulted in him being fetched by eddie so he took it as a win.

"aww robbie, i promised eddie to drive him to the city. i'll just give nancy my tickets so you two can watch the movie anyway." he didn't promise eddie anything but it's a good excue to just drop by at the munson trailer and invite eddie for a night drive.

"hey nance, do you mind going with robbie for their weekly family dinner? already told her mom you'll go. sorry for the short notice but wayne asked me to help him fix something." wayne did, in fact ask him for help, and steve gotta impress his future father-in-law.

"nancy, help! you need to come here stat. i can't help robin in choosing clothes!" steve can actually help her and eddie offered to help robin but not on steve's watch. robin will spend the whole saturday in nancy's hand to pick what she'll wear on graduation, while steve will spend his saturday buying eddie any clothes he likes.

see, a win-win situation.

[anonymouslyel]

there are just some days when either steve or eddie needed to be loved a little bit loudly, a little bit showy, in front of other people.

they dont really have a secret code for this. they would just say something along the lines of "i need you to love me a little bit loudly today" and the other would just understand.

when its eddie who feels like that, steve becomes more touchy. he touches eddie more than necessary, be it in front of the kids or when eddie visits steve at work in front of so many customers. steve is always in eddie's sight (sitting just to the side when a campaign is ongoing) assuring eddie that he's always there. steve wears eddie's leather jackets or denim vests (it's so outside steve's clothing style but seeing eddie's soft look trained towards him is a reward). steve gives eddie pecks and kisses whenever he can, on eddie's cheeks or hands or forehead. anywhere steve's lips could reach whenever they're close and alone.

when its steve who feels like that, eddie also becomes more touchy, both in private or public. a hand always stays in steve's back or arm. a little ruffle on the hair or a pinch on the cheek. eddie also doesnt hold back any compliments or praises about steve no matter who can hear. whether some other student would hear eddie praise steve a tad too much for being early in fetching the kids or not, eddie doesnt care. the faint blush on steve's cheeks is worth it.

they both know they love each other deeply but sometimes insecurities and doubt tends to plague their mind more than necessary. so they just needed to be loved more loudly in those days, just need a tiny bit of time to show their lover off to the world, just need a smudge of attention from their boyfriend moreso today than any other day.

steve getting ready to give suzie a shovel talk while she (and eden) visit hawkins only to meet another sweet yet badass little girl so he turns to dustin, self-proclaimed steve's favorite, and gave him the shovel talk.

"i swear henderson if you ever so much as make my new daughter shed a tear, i wont ever drive you anywhere again. i'll make nancy promise she wont let you hitch a ride with her."

and eddie pulls steve aside and goes "don't mind your mother, henderson." he turns to suzie with a gentle smile and says "you are very much welcome to the harrington family. you are now officially the eighth little nugget steve has adopted. enjoy your stay in hawkins!"

[anonymouslyel]

eddie who is so open with his affection and appreciation to everyone about what they do for him.

dustin offers his house for a d&d session and eddie's like "i love you, hendersen. do you know that?"

robin pays for a dvd rent one time and eddie goes "if we weren't you know, i'd marry you. thanks, buckley."

nancy gifts him some metal trinkets from some store near her college and eddie kisses her head, saying "you are a dream girl, nancy wheeler! i'd fight buckley for your hand," with a teasing nudge to robin

lucas and max randomly gives him some patches for his new vest and he hugs the teens tightly saying, "you two are the most adorable couple in all of hawkins!"

el finally caved in and made eddie float at least five inch above the ground with her mind and he praises eleven so hard saying "that is the most metal thing ever! ozzy could never!" while smiling wide and patting el's head

mike and will gifts him dice (the one eddie has been talking about every end of a campaign) and eddie dramatically wipes an imaginary tear, before kissing the head of the teens so affectionately (will smiles so wide while mike pushes him away but eddie knows mike is just shy)

steve sees that and wants to be hugged and kissed and praised like that (he's already done with realization and panicking with the help of robin and nancy). so he does everything that could elicit that kind of reaction from eddie.

he tried so hard to curate music that, aside from what eddie usually listens to, eddie would like. that took him probably three weeks with the help of, surprisingly, argyle, and, not surprisingly, jonathan.

all that got him was a "this is very thoughtful, steve. i'll ket you know what i think after i listen to it" with a sincere smile.

(steve didnt know how big eddie's smile is as he went home that night. wayne had noticed and was so curious about what (or who) put that big smile on his nephew but eddie only said a friend made him a mixtape. steve doesnt know how eddie had to bite his tongue to stop hinself from kissing steve harrington in the middle of the school's parking lot.)

steve didnt give up and buys some patches too. he wants to be hugged that tight too.

this time steve was graced with a tight hold in the arm bc apparently steve bought him a metallica patch. "you said you basically listened to them only for a week," steve said.

(eddie rewarded himself that night for only grasping steve's arm instead of hugging and twirling the other man in front of the hellfire club members by buying a pizza for him and wayne)

steve tries to go for the kiss on the temple with a sincere praise by learning how to play the first verse of master of puppets. he was blindsided when eddie literally tears up because "no one had ever exerted that much effort for me."

it's steve who pulls eddie to his side in a hug, careful of eddie's guitar, and pressed a closed lip kiss on eddie's temple, saying "i'll learn the whole song for you, eddie."

(eddie couldnt help himself as he tells what steve did to wayne that night. wayne went "this harrington kid played guitar for you?" "that's what i've been telling you wayne!" and wayne knows how important playing the guitar is for eddie so he nods and said, "let me meet him sometime,")

steve doesnt know what happened because it seemed like they went two steps backward. steve gave eddie a leather jacket. at first, he thought eddie didn't like the idea of someone buying him something expensive. so steve reassured him by saying "that's mine, munson. mom gave it to last year but its not my style so i only wore it once to show her it fits."

(but inside eddie's panicking so much because for him, this is the equivalent of some jock giving their girl their letterman jacket. but for eddie, he loves leather jackets more. and the love of hi life is giving one to him)

eddie lets himself hug steve, one arm on the waist and the other on the shoulder. "thanks, stevie. i'll take care of this," he said before ruffling steve's hair. he waits for the usual teasing irritation about not to ruin his hair but none of that happens. instead, steve is giving him a look that eddie's been the subject of this past few months. a look that eddie's been giving to steve too when the other is not looking at him.

(steve replays the sensation of eddie's warm hugs at night and decides that he wants to be hugged like that for a long, long time.)

at some point of him just giving eddie gifts or doing something for eddie, steve realizes that more than loud and obvious show of affection that eddie do to others, steve prefers the soft "thanks, stevie", the cheery "you are the best, harrington", the teasing "i'll take you up on that offer, big boy"

so whenever eddie profess his eternal love for dustin, or his everlasting gratefulness for robin and nancy, or his untamed affection to lucas and max, or his loveable teasing to mike and will, or his brotherly affection to el, steve smiles because eddie has his own way to show and tell all of those that is reserved for steve only

(the way this went in my mind:

someone: does something nice for eddie

eddie: please marry me

steve: does something nice for eddie

eddie: thanks, steve

steve, irritated: why arent you asking me to marry you!?)

[anonymouslyel]

eddie: how is the most beautiful person doing on this fine evening?

steve, not looking up: i dont know. how are you, eddie?

eddie, tearing up: i'm fine, stevie

[anonymouslyel]

i know steve's yellow sweatshirt is probably in the bottom of the lake but let's say it survived and eddie has him for the sake of this post lol

so now imagine steve visiting the munson trailer house and eddie opens it while wearing the yellow sweatshirt. steve is taken aback because he's never seen eddie wear any pastel colored clothing. the brightest color he wears is white.

so steve goes, "who's sweatshirt is that?"

"hm? oh, i dunno. probably uncle wayne's," eddie shrugged but there was a slight panic in his eyes when he looked at his own clothes. "come in. what brings you here, stevie?"

they talked and watched some movie but once every few minutes steve looks at eddie and his yellow sweatshirt. it looks great on eddie really. he reminds himself to buy eddie some more light colored shirts. it makes him look softer than ever and steve wants to cuddle with him.

"something wrong, harrington?" eddie asked, eyes not moving from the television.

"that yellow sweatshirt..."

"damn, i thought you were staring at me," eddie teases.

i am. "you look good wearing it."

steve revels in the blush that filled eddie's ears.

later that night as eddie's standing in front of the television, steve saw the familiar steve that is embroidered on the sweatshirt's bottom seam. steve smiles, content. his grandma would be upset that her gift for her only grandchild is not in steve's possession anymore but she would be happy when steve tells her it's in the possession of someone he loves now.

i love love every nickname eddie uses for steve in every fanfic and headcanon i've read. that's a fact.

BUT

the one (1) nickname that will always go straight to my heart clenching it repeatedly is: sweetheart

BECAUSE everytime i read it, that scene of eddie saying "sorry im late sweetheart" in that tone always comes to mind and its like im hearing it like that, eddie calling steve "sweetheart" in that damn lowtone voice will always always get me so AAARRGDGHDHSHSJ HEAD IN MY HANDS WHILE SOBBING AND/OR SQUEALING

[anonymouslyel]

steve doesn't know when did this become so natural for them. this being him and eddie sleeping on the same. steve likes - no, loves - this arrangement. it's been so long when there's someone on his bed that wasnt there for sex. it's been nice just seeing eddie look at him while steve's telling him stories from childhood or otherwise; someone who was interested in what he's saying no matter what it is. it's been nice watching eddie talk and imitate actions with his hand and his whole body, like being read a story book. it's been nice falling asleep and waking up with someone on the other side of the bed and not just a cold pillow.

but steve still can't erase the feeling that maybe eddie would leave - in the middle of the night or just after steve falls asleep. so to comfort himself, steve settled eddie staying with him just until he falls asleep.

he sneakily touches eddie after they greet each other good night, too afraid of eddie knowing how scared steve is in being left alone. just fingertips casually touching eddie's arms, not holding onto it, just the fingertips. just softly hold onto eddie's shirt when eddie's facing away, not too tight, just the loose part of the shirt.

just enough to make sure eddie is still there just until steve falls asleep.

but everytime steve wakes up, eddie is still there - still asleep on his side of the bed or awake sitting on the chair by steve's desk. eddie's the last one he sees at night and the first one he sees in the morning as well.

(little did steve know that his hold onto eddie's arm or shirt becomes tighter as he falls deeper into sleep. that the first time eddie woke up the first night they slept side by side and wanted to cook steve breakfast as a thanks, steve's hold on eddie's shirt stopped him from getting up. that eddie have come to love the way steve smiles so warmly at him as he greets eddie good morning)

if a metalhead compares me to ozzy osbourne, i would simply realize they have a crush on me.

rip to steve harrington but im different.

i deserve eddie being bestfriends with chrissy and being friends with the cheerleaders

of course the other cheerleaders are worried abt chrissy. so of course they were worried why eddie and chrissy were spotted talking one time. so chrissy told the girls that eddie helped him one rough night and the girls noticed how chrissy is more cheerful than usual

(she also finally broke up with carver. they see how chrissy is uncomfortable with him)

naturally, eddie was trusted by the girls.

(and if eddie lowers the price slightly whenever some of them buy, that's for him to know)

eddie being older than some, if not most, of the girls suddenly becomes everyone's big brother. they go to him for advice abt their boyfriends. they ask him which guys are actually nice and who's just faking nice for the girls to date them.

chrissy is so comfortable with him. she never knew she can be so comfortable in hanging out with a boy bc jason's team mates always makes her squirm and uncomfortable but she has to talk to them bc they were jason's friends.

she talks to him about anything and eddie talks to him too. they talk about chrissy's routine pracitce and eddie's next campaign.

(they both have issues with food and they support each other into overcoming it)

(headcanon that due to tight money, eddie have issue with food)

eddie gives shit and talks shit about other cliques but not the cheerleaders bc they are actually nice to him.

in turn, the girls use their reputation in making others stop giving shit to the hellfire club

chrissy opens up that sometimes she notices girls being pretty too. she felt brave enough after eddie told her that he finds boys pretty too.

"boys exclusively, cunningham. rest assured i am not trying to get into your girls' pants. skirts. anyway."

eddie first assures her that its completely okay and normal. then he teases her into telling him "who's the lucky girl hawkins high's queen has her eyes set on?"

"no one yet, eddie. i just sometimes find myself looking at them more than i should" she said with a blush

"well, i am here to listen to you anytime, chrissy"

then suddenly steve is more present in eddie's life and chrissy looks at him knowingly and afterschool and afterclub hang outs are when they talk about that.

"steve was literally ogling at you! i know that look, eddie!"

"tell me about how your co-captain is looking at you with stars in her eyes, chrissy, huh?"

eddie introduces her to robin (bc he felt like chrissy could use some help in someone that could understand her situation bout girls being pretty and all) (but he did it subtly since he can't tell secrets that he doesn't own)

robin is a bad influence for chrissy, eddie came to know. he's kidding. robin is a good influence on chrissy. she needs more strong-headed girls in her life and robin certainly helps chrissy in some aspects that eddie can't.

steve and chrissy got along with each other too. in a weird 'we are/were part of the hawkins high royalty' kind of weird friendship. they understand the pressure and twisted satisfaction of being called 'king' and 'queen'

i just want eddie being besties with chrissy like what robin and steve have. i also want them to be platonic soulmates.

is that too much to ask for?! (it was, in fact, too much to ask for)

[anonymouslyel]

i hear you saying eddie absolutely loves steve's slutty little waist but i would like to raise the idea of eddie also loving steve's thick and strong thighs. most especially when steve is wearing the scoops ahoy uniform. as in eddie's hands just sticks to steve's thighs; caressing and patting and love tapping and slightly pinching it, his hands crawling inside the shorts and steve lets him do all that.

[anonymouslyel]

the very first time eddie saw steve's room, he just stood on the doorway, with disgust in his eyes upon laying his eyes on the travesty that was a framed picture of a car. he closed his eyes, said "nope, i can change this" then he snatched the frame and a permanent marker from steve's desk and proceeded to doodle on the glass frame.

steve arrived at his room with a tray of food and drinks while eddie was sitting on the floor, back to the bed, the only frame on his room being decorated by eddie.

eddie was so focused he didnt notice steve had sat beside him with the tray and had been watching him making the plain and lame frame of a car into a beautiful and organized mess of shapes and lines only with the help a faulty black permanent marker.

[anonymouslyel]

eddie: so this is what good looking guys do on their day off, huh? just sitting pretty and drinking coffee.

steve, peeks at eddie: or drinking cold beer, i see.

eddie, blushing: uhh

[anonymouslyel]

steddie soulmate au where you can hear what music your soulmate it listening too and it's just steddie irritating the other by eddie playing only metal songs while steve only plays pop songs and jokes on them cause that made them appreciate the other's song choice.
