hysteria ( eddie munson x steve harrington)

track 5. pour some sugar on me

robin sounded annoyed from the other side of the door, knocking a bunch of times while yelling "steve i know you're in there!!! i can hear the tv!" he was caught, opening the door and opening she didn't see eddie still laying on the blanket behind him.

"i'll be out in a second robin!!!" he rolled his eyes despite her not even being able to see it, and went to go sit back next to eddie. his mind was going a thousand different places right now, he knew he wanted eddie but not right now not with robin just outside of the room. and he definitely didn't want to do anything in the break room, so he kissed him again softly.

it took him by surprise, it seemed much more intimate this time and like it held more meaning now. when the two of them finally separated they knew they would either have to confess to robin..or wait until later. waiting seemed like torture at this point, after all the stolen glances and flirting and everything steve thought this was finally his shot.

but eddie stood up, grabbing steve's hand up help him up too. "should probably get going i don't want her to be too pissed at you. we'll talk about this later?" his voice was just above a whisper, but steve could tell he sounded upset about having to leave so soon.

"come over tonight? my place, around 7? my parents are gone for the weekend" steve watched hopefully as eddie climbed out of the back window, leaning in to make sure steve could hear him whisper "sure pretty boy, see you at 7"

pretty boy? he knew they had just kissed but the nickname made steve blush even more than he normally did. he took a few seconds to calm down before opening the door, robin looking around confused. she looked at the blanket, then the tv and the empty case on the counter.

"you watched it without me? i could've sworn i heard you talking to someone back here" she put the vhs back in its case, still looking around for any sign of steve doing anything out of the ordinary. "are you okay dude? you seem a little shaken up"

he wasn't originally going to tell her yet but before he could stop himself he blurted out "i have a hardcore crush on eddie" and she laughed at him, not thinking he was serious.

"cmon steve don't make fun of me, it was only a joke"

"but i'm not joking! i really think i like him, maybe even love him but i'm not sure yet"

steve followed her around the store, while she put back all the returned movies. "so? do something about it, does he know?"

"well...he's coming over to my place tonight" he scratched the back of his neck nervously, saying it outloud made it feel a lot more scary than when he had told eddie.

"i'll cover your shift if you want to leave early, so you can get ready" he wasn't normally a hugger, but he hugged robin quickly before grabbing his keys out of his bag.

"you're a lifesaver rob, i'll call you later"

"don't mention it, and don't call me! tell me about it tomorrow, focus on him" she smiled, waving as he left and feeling like a proud mom who's son was...off to get his first boyfriend? the metaphor made more sense in her head, so she didn't say it out loud she just yelled bye even though he was already driving away.

why was he so nervous? he had seen eddie so many times before, but when he got home this time he was stressed. going through all of his clothes trying to find something nice to wear and cursing himself for being so anxious. this wasn't a date, why was he trying so hard to look his best?

if only he had known eddie was doing the exact same thing, trying desperately to find any jeans that didn't have hole in them but he couldn't. so he just put on the only clean pair he had, and red and black button up shirt. he spent too much time fixing his hair, making sure it looked right before he left the trailer.

steve finally found a nice outfit, pacing around his house waiting for when eddie got there. he wasn't completely sure what to do when his friend got there, he couldn't stop thinking about how it felt to kiss him. he wanted to do it again, wanted to feel the way eddie's rings felt on his neck again.

he jumped when he heard a knock on the door, checking his appearance one last time before opening the door. he didn't even try to hide that he was checking him out, shocked to see him wearing something other than and old band shirt. not that he thought he looked bad when he did, he always thinks eddie looks good but this time he looked really really good.

"are you going to keep staring at me or are you going to invite me in?" eddie giggled. wait he giggled? that was new, and it took steve by surprise so he just nodded and walked away from the doorway.

"isn't that a vampire thing?" he watched as eddie was looking around his house, and he shrugged.

"i won't bite, i mean, unless you want me to?" he turned around only for a second to wink at him, and then walked down the hall to steve's room. he seemed so curious about everything, laughing a little bit at all the posters of women because it was very much outdated. he picked up a small stack of cassettes, smiling when he saw how similar it was to his own music taste.

"bought this because of me harrington? i'm flattered" steve just nodded and smiled, at a loss for words as he was watching eddie push up the sleeves of his shirt and not so secretly staring at his arms once again.

"you're really hot, i mean um...shit sorry was that too much?" steve had a bad habit of not having a filter around eddie, it reminded him of how robin got around girls she liked.

but eddie knew steve wasn't joking, and he fully turned around now to look at him smiling to try to hide just how much he was flustered by that.

"oh am i? you're not too bad yourself steve"

for a while the just stayed like that, eddie looking over every part of steve's room. and it was starting to get on steve's nerves, not necessarily because he was annoyed with the gorgeous boy in front on him. he just was maybe a little jealous, wanting the attention to be on him.

so when eddie finally sat down, steve pulled him closer and kissed him so hard he nearly left him breathless. they both had been waiting all day to be this close to each other, neither of them wanting to pull away until eddie ended up on top of steve.

and oh fuck he was hard, not just a little bit he was more than he probably ever had been. he hated not being in control but something about eddie made him like it.

"have you ever been with a guy steve?" he just shook his head, too nervous to say anything back. "that's okay, if at any point you want to stop please tell me okay?"

he waited for steve to reply, he just whispered a small yes before pulling him back down to kiss him again. it was messy and way too fast, but steve wanted more he just didn't really know what that meant.

he was trying to figure out the right words but eddie was kissing his neck and his mind felt fuzzy, just letting him give him hickeys that robin would for sure question him about tomorrow. he didn't want him to stop, but he gently pushed him away just so he could think straight.

"did i do something wr..." steve didn't let him finish, cutting him off "no, shit, eddie i need you so bad"

he wasn't going to try to hide it anymore, it was pointless to do that.

/ you are gonna hate me for this but i'm splitting this up into two chapters because this chapter is already longer than all the other ones 😭
