“Are you dating yet?” Robin grabs at his sleeve.
“SHHHH” Steve’s eyes are panicked.
Robin rolls her eyes at him “Whatever it’s fine.”
“It is not fine!! He doesn’t even like me like that.”
“…he was just sitting on your lap.”
“And?”
Eddie peeks his head around the kitchen corner “Are you guys talking about me?”
“No!” Steve panics “Why? What’s up?”
“Are you ready to go?”
Steve exhales, “Sure, let’s go.”
He leads Eddie out reaching his hand behind him. He and Eddie have grown closer over the years since Vecna. They’ve definitely become comfortable touching which is why Steve is surprised when Eddie pulls his hand back.
“I don’t feel like holding hands,” Eddie grumbles.
Oh…
“What were you talking about? In the kitchen?”
“Nothing just work problems”
“Really.” Eddie sneers at him.
“Why would I lie about that?” Steve puts on his best puppy dog eyes hoping the conversation will end.
“Maybe I embarrass you.” He tilts his head to the side staring at the full moon above him.
“What?! They’re obviously ok with you and they know how I feel about you. Do you know how many times people asked me tonight if we were dating?”
Eddie’s eyes grow wide “Why?!”
“Eds you sat on me the entire time.” Steve deadpans.
“Why!? Sitting on laps is not gay.”
“It definitely is.”
“Well it’s not and we wouldn’t be dating anyway.” Eddie huffs and crosses his arms.
“We wouldn’t?” Steve feels his heart shatter.
“Of course not! We’re friends!”
“Why do you say it like that.” Steve says quietly.
“Like what?” Eddie looks at him confused.
“Like I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with you.”
Eddie’s mouth forms a little o before it settles into a deep frown.
“…don’t say that”
“Why not!” Steve argues. “We tell each other we love each other all the time-”
“As friends! Platonically!!!”
“You care about me more than anyone else. I know you think I’m attractive that’s not an issue. I know you’re not straight so why not? You notice when I bite my nails, when I haven’t eaten. You claim you don’t care for me but you’re glued to my side. You grab for me in your sleep. You want me to introduce you to my family. You want to live together because spending the night isn’t enough. You call me just to tell me you miss me. How was I supposed to not fall in love with you.” Steve tries to pull him closer but Eddie pushes away.
“You don’t love me you like the attention.”
“No,” Steve said sternly. Trying to convey every emotion he’s felt for Eddie in that one word. “You’re wrong.”
“But…” Eddie’s big eyes were watery with tears. Confusion apparent in his features, “We’re friends…”

Hate to say it but…inspired (almost word for word) by a conversation I just had….
Yes I’m the Steve in this situation.
As always I pour all my thoughts and emotions into my writing.
Will be going back to writing my happy steddie fics when I’m over this.
Sorry for the rushed job :P (and the pity party)
My average writing experience:
"Alright I think I'm almost done actually-"
*Google doc grows second health bar and a choir starts singing in latin*
staying close w people long distance really is about the mundane stuff. i get texts like "made quesadillas" "spilled mop water all over the floor :(" "lady on the bus has not one not two but three tiny dogs in her purse" andits like wow. i love you more than words can express
Steve and Eddie, who are both in a city for some music awards the next day, who both decide to go out for a couple of drinks the night before, who entirely thanks to destiny sit next to each other at the bar, who hit it off quickly and start talking and go on and on and on and on...
Steve knows that he recognizes Eddie from somewhere, but he is not entirely sure where from until a guy approaches them asking for a picture with him, that Steve takes very amused, and he realises he's the metal guy Dustin had asked him to take a picture with if he saw him at the awards.
Eddie, on the other hand, doesn't recognise Steve at all, even though he is objectively way more famous than him. It's just that Steve always wears a wig and sunglasses, a moustache that is sometimes fake. It's not like his identity is a secret, he does some interviews without the costume. It's what robin has called his 'drag persona' and not his hannah montana. Gives him some peace in the way that only dedicated fans recognise him when he's out.
The night is coming to an end and Eddie gets a brilliant idea to see Steve again. He asks him to be his date to the award show, like a full date, stand at his side at the red carpet and pose with him and everything, he thinks it will be fun and a very amused Steve agrees.
Eddie is very confused and surprised when the photographers ask to take pictures of his date alone at the red carpet, when some interviewers call out to him and he goes to them easily, but he is too caught up on his own interviews with his band to really pay attention to whatever shenanigans his very hot "anonymous" date has decided to pull.
Eddie is absolutely shocked when his hot "anonymous" date wins artist of the year and kisses him before going on the stage.
The only adhd tips that actually work:
1. Never tell anyone what you're planning to do until you do it (you will get a premature dopamine hit and sense of accomplishment from telling them and lose motivation to actually do it)
2. Never sit down (never sit down)
hooray

“He shoots,” Steve says, watching as Eddie prepares to aim at the basket, right hand firmly behind the ball, left hand steadying. He crouches, explodes up, and flicks his wrist.
The basketball goes in. Nothing but net.
“And he scores!” Steve yells, running and tackling Eddie in a hug. “You did it, dude!”
“Holy shit,” Eddie giggles. “I did!”
He wraps his arms around Steve’s shoulders, looking first at the basket, then at the ball, slowly rolling away. “And if I’m not mistaken, my liege,” he glances over at Steve in his periphery, smirk playing along the edges of his lips. “That means you owe me.”
Steve’s grinning too hard to sound worried. “I’m gonna regret this, aren’t I?”
“Eh,” Eddie says, “depends on how badly you don’t want to play D&D.”
Steve stops. “I- Ed, c’mon, you don’t want me to play. I’m not gonna be able to remember anything, I’m just gonna slow you down, even the simple math is gonna trip me up. I- it won’t be fun for you.”
Eddie turns with furrowed brows towards Steve. “It’ll be fun because it’ll be time spent with you, dude.” He sighs. “If you really don’t want to play, that’s one thing, but don’t put yourself down like that. Don’t call yourself dumb and uninteresting. That couldn’t be further from the truth.”
“It actually is the truth,” Steve argues. “I’ve gotten too many concussions to read, dude. And I’m just… me. Nothing special.”
“You are special enough,” Eddie argues back. “You’re kind and funny and observant and you always know what to say, whether it’s to make someone feel better or to make us laugh. You’re sharp as a fuckin’ tack and I hate that you can’t see it because it means we’ve all failed you as friends.”
Steve snorts. “Don’t give yourself all the credit. I was ruined long before any of you came around.”
Eddie kisses him. Hard. Pulls back with wide eyes and uneven breathing. “Steve-”
Steve’s breath hitches. “You mean it?”
“I do.”
Steve watches him lick his lips. “Do it again?”
Eddie blinks, grins. “Gladly.”
Corroded Coffin are celebrating an album release in Vegas. Eddie gets bored of the VIP area at the club & wanders The Strip. Standing at the Bellagio fountain is the most beautiful man he’s ever seen. Eddie pushes past some douchey looking dudes in business casual to reach him.
Eddie falls to one knee. “Will you marry me?” Steve who is bored with his business man life and hates his friends takes one look at this random proposing man with wild hair and leather pants and says “Yes.”
the world is so scary im thinking about rewatching naruto again.
Eddie walked into Steve’s house to find the kids crowded around the entrance to the living room. He looked in to find Robin and Steve hanging upside down on the couch, looking depressed.
Eddie: What's going on?
Dustin: They got rejected by a cult today.
Robin: And the thing is, we didn't know it was a cult.
Steve: And when we did figure it out, we didn't want to join, but suddenly, they wanted us!
Robin: And now they don't!
Steve: What the hell does "too perfect" even mean?!
Max: Why are you upset they rejected you?! They kidnapped you!
Robin: And it's nice to feel wanted sometimes, Maxine!
Eddie: Okay, where the hell is this place?
An hour later, Eddie stormed back into the house, brushed past the kids, and threw himself down next to Robin.
Robin: You get rejected, too?
Eddie: They just looked me up and down and shook their heads! Then, when I demanded answers, they threw me out! What the hell kind of cult is this?
Steve: It's a rude cult.
A few minutes later, Hopper came to pick up Will and El.
Hopper: *looking into the living room* What the hell happened?
Will: Go easy on them, dad. They got rejected by an entire cult today.
Hopper: What?!
Just think about an artist using this and nobody can read it or understands that there is really meaning. They could write whatever they would like and nobody would know!!!
I just found the funniest font ever
Like. What is this. Why is this. Who is the target audience of this?
