    Summary

    “Eddie.” Steve says around a smile, and it tugs the strings of Eddie’s daydream balloon, sends it slowly floating back to Earth.

    “Hm?” He responds, distracted.

    Steve opens his eyes, squinting in the late afternoon sun.

    “No, ‘Eddie.’ That’s what you’re writing.”

    And -

    Yeah, it is. Eddie looks down at his finger, the one that’s been operating on autopilot while he’s been lost in his thoughts, and watches as it finishes rounding out the curve of the final e.

    Shit.

    or - Eddie can't stop touching Steve. Steve doesn't seem to mind.

    Summary

    It’s a solid hour since the final bell rang to announce the end of the school day, and yet Eddie Munson is stuck waiting under the bleachers in the empty gym, hoping to snag a ride home with Gareth since his van chose that morning to crap out on him.

    Still, it’s not all bad. He finally has a moment of privacy away from judgmental stares and scathing insults; a little bit of much needed peace and quiet.

    That is, until the gym doors slam open and a panicked Steve Harrington is sprinting in, throwing himself under the bleachers and slamming into him like a 5’11” freight train of wiry muscle, expensive cologne, and perfect hair.

    Summary

    Eddie works himself up to ask Steve if he can borrow his instant camera, because the type of pictures he wants to take are…not the kind he can get developed in town.

    Turns out, Steve's happy to help out. Even if the guy Eddie's taking sexy pictures for is not him.

    Or is it?

    Summary

    Steve knows, like his skin knows his bones and his blood knows the cadence of his own heartbeat, that love is something you earn. Love is something you work for, something given to you at the end of a long journey.

    Love is a reward.

    And if you don’t try hard enough, if you don’t prove yourself worthy, then you don’t get it.

    -

    Or, the one where Steve learns that he deserves love.
