    Summary

    “How long do you have?” he asks, staring intently into Eddie's big, dark eyes. Eddie looks at him for a long while.
    “Got nothin’ but time,” he eventually says, and Steve notes that his voice has a sort of gentle lilt when he speaks softly, something sweet and southern running through it. “Rich in that at least.”
    And so Steve sits down on the ground in the dirt. The air's hot and sticky, and by the time he stops talking, he isn't sure he's ever been that parched, not ever. He talks and talks. He doesn't stop for a long while.
    Eddie Munson listens quietly.

    ---

    The battle at Starcourt might have culminated in the end of the upside down back in '85, but Steve is still plagued by nightmares. Years later, he's the last one left in Hawkins - content to stay there, safe and alone and fading into nothing as the summer heat peaks again.
    A three am rendezvous at Sattler quarry changes that.

    Summary

    “It’s s’posed to be a bowl!” tears roll down his face now.
    He laughs, “you don’t like my hair?”
    “I’m sorry—I didn’t mean it. I really love it. It’s just that you're old and different now, it’s scary,” his hands scrunch into Will’s shirt.
    “Okay. You’re very drunk,” he pushes Mike off of him gently. Mike’s arms clumsily reach out in an attempt to hold him again. “You know you shouldn’t compliment a gay guy like that. He might get the wrong idea.”
    Mike furrows his brows at him. If he was sober, Mike would be able to pick up the sarcasm in his voice, but right now his brain is functioning at an all time low. “Good thing I’m gay then. That’s the idea I want them to have.”

    or
    Will hasn't talked to Mike for two years. He's happily living his life at college in San Diego. Max's dad just so happens to have a beach house in the same place. So she brings them all on vacation.
    Problems arise when Mike drunkly comes out to him. Why should that matter to Will though? He's over Mike.

    Title is a lyric from 'Actor' by Conan Gray

    Summary

    Eddie leans in, his face drawing closer to Steve’s. His eye catches the faint silver glint of Eddie’s rings where they rest against his skin. And for a split second, Steve’s mind short-circuits. He thinks Eddie is going to kiss him.

    So why does he lean in, too?

    Steve barely registers what he’s doing until his nose brushes the side of Eddie’s cheek, warm and slightly tacky from sweat. His skin tingles with the contact, the tension between them tightening like a drawn bowstring.

    Then Eddie’s lips part—not to kiss, but to speak.

    “Hey.” Eddie’s voice is temptingly husky as he tilts his head to whisper directly into Steve’s ear. The vibrations of his words send a shiver down Steve’s spine, and it takes everything in him not to react visibly. “After the set, what do you say we head back to our room?”

     

    OR.

     

    Eddie shows Steve how to loosen up on an underground rock club's dancefloor. There are better places to be stiff, after all.

    Summary

    Steve is looking at him, awed. He stares at Eddie’s ribs like they have the answers to all his questions etched between them. Like there’s revelation written in between the fading whorls where his wounds knit together over the past year. 

    He reaches out, soft and slow- the way you approach a wounded dog. Don’t bite me, his hands are saying- I want to show you gentle touch.
