    Summary

    “Why didn’t either of you tell us you were dating?”

    He looks so hurt and indignant in the way only Dustin can, and maybe it’s not too late to run out after Steve and make their case for the beers again if it means the kid’ll stop frowning and looking at Eddie like that. It takes a minute for his words to sink in.

    Eddie blinks. “What.”

    “What do you mean, what? You kissed!”

    “No, we didn’t,” Eddie scoffs.

    Except, yes, they did. Realization crashes over him, the force of it stunning him into silence.

    Steve kissed him. On the lips. Like it was nothing, like it was something they did every day.

    And Eddie hadn’t even blinked or shoved him away or registered it at all, just returned the kiss and went right back to bossing Steve around, as if the whole fucking thing was the most natural thing in the world.

    Fuck.

    Summary

    Steve can’t stop thinking about Eddie. Or talking about him. Or looking at him. Robin helps, but Steve is a disaster.

    ~Eddie slides across the seat, pressing against Steve’s shoulder, “Getting a little twitchy there, Harrington,” he whispers, soft curls brushing lightly against Steve’s neck, “This getting you all hot and bothered?”

    Steve should push him away, tell him to fuck off, do something that normal guy friends would do. Instead he finds himself caught in that mesmerizing dark gaze, paralyzed. Eddie blinks, teasing smile fading slightly and Steve’s gaze drifts to the other man’s mouth. Fuck. His lips are a little shiny, like he just had a sip of beer. Steve wants to lick it off of him.~

    Summary

    “So, tell me what’s so great about Harrington, then.”

    He doesn’t really know why he says it, it’s not like Eddie cares about the old King of Hawkins High; Steve Harrington is an asshole. That’s just a fact of life. The sky is blue, high school is pointless, Steve Harrington is a dickhead.

    But Eddie likes this kid, likes all of them actually.

    Dustin turns to look at him, a small smile on his lips, his eyes softening, and bingo.

    -

    Six times Eddie tries to understand who Steve is, and the one time he finally manages it. (and works some things out about himself along the way.)

    Title is from 'Figure you out' by Djo - because I had to and the lyrics fit.
