Skull Rock

Teds and Punks Ain't Supposed to Love

(quick a/n they all still live in Hawkins)

Eddiе is a teddy boy

Sheena is a punk

They met onе night at a late night rock 'n' roll show

Eddie asked Sheena to do the bop

And then they did the stroll

And later on they pogoed all night long

They sat there awkwardly, both bobbing their heads to the beat. Steve took a moment to look around Eddie's room. He saw a guitar of course, a Dio poster who the hell is Dio, and a pair of handcuffs hanging on his wall. Wait. What? He did a double take, Eddie noticing.

"Oh, um. They're more for decor. I don't get much action." He laughed awkwardly, taking them off his wall and playing with them. Eddie intently listened to the song's lyrics and smiled.

Eddie's friends told Eddie that their love could never be

'Cause teds and punks ain't supposed to love...

"Kinda about us huh?" Steve muttered. Of course, this earned a glance from Eddie.

"What?" Eddie stopped swaying to the beat. What did he mean by that? The song is about a kind of frowned-upon relationship. The girl was a punk, and the man was a Teddy Boy, not people you'd expect to get along. Now that he'd thought for a second, it did match up pretty well. Eddie didi his best to tell himself Steve didn't mean it like that. "Actually yeah. A punk and a Teddy hanging out." He laughed awkwardly, still taking in the whole situation.

Steve thought for a moment, deciding not to expand on what he'd said- wondering why he even said it in the first place. "So what do you do with the handcuffs, then?" He looked back at Eddie from the edge of the bed. He had his hands cuffed behind his back.

Steve raised an eyebrow. "Whatcha doing?" He watched as Eddie shuffled on his knees to the edge of the bed next to Steve. Then, he stood up.

"I can get out of 'em," Steve stared at him blankly. "I'll show you." Eddie said and smiled, dramatically taking a deep breath and closing his eyes. Steve watched, amused at the boy in front of him. After a few moments of clanking, the cuffs dropped to the floor. And in true Eddie style, took a bow, taking a second to look up at Steve through his lashes and smile. When he stood up and sat down next to Steve, he said,"Wanna take a go at it?"

Steve smiled, "You know, you're such an idiot it's almost cute. I'm not doing that. I know you used the key. Then I'd put 'em on and I'd say Oh, Eddie, however did you do this!?!" He mocked, "And you'd say I'd need the key, then hold it up in front of me and laugh."

Eddie smiled, "Cute, huh? What, you've got a little crush, Harrington?" He played it off as a joke, but in reality, he just needed to test the waters.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that-" Steve was trying to cover his tracks, but at the end of the day he did just call Eddie cute.

"It's alright pretty boy," He said, trying his best to sound confident, "I don't mind...and hey how'd you know my handcuff trick?" He frowned and punched Steve's arm playfully.

"Well, if you must know, that's actually my trick on girls. They see 'em, ask about them, and I'll do what you just did." Steve stood up, took the cuffs from Eddie, and put them back on the wall.

His trick for girls, huh. At that moment, Eddie snapped back into reality. Steve likes girls. Eddie cursed himself silently for reading too much into what Steve had said to him. "Hey I've gotta drop off a mixtape to Will," He said, changing the subject, "Helping the little shit expand his music taste, ya'know?... Wanna go do that and then maybe go for pizza?"

"Yeah, sure. And don't forget about the beer you were supposed to buy. You cover that, and I'll pay for pizza," Steve said and Eddie nodded. "Cool. Then it's a date." When Steve said that, Eddie's stomach did cartwheels and he felt his face turn pink. Steve grabbed his walkie from his back pocket and told Will, "Me and the freak have something to come drop off to you apparently, we're coming over." Steve turned his walkie off to put it back, and just as he did, he heard Will say, "Alright, see you soon then dads."

"What the fuck did he just say?" Eddie questioned, a confused look on his face. Steve just shook his head and laughed while exiting the trailer to get in his car.

"Alright, I'll drive I don't trust you," He smacked the roof of his car and rushed Eddie to get in as well, "Let's go sunshine we've got plans."

Plans? Boy, this will be interesting.
