Not Steve Harrington.

Part 6: Movie Night at Eddie's

      Steve had got off work at the Family Video at nine-thirty and he'd arrived at Eddie's a little past nine-fifty. He was nervous but he wasn't sure why. He got out of his car and walked up to the door of Eddie's trailer. He was curious to see what Eddie was like when he was relaxed and not scared for his life in the moment. He lightly knocked on the trailer door. He heard some rustling before Eddie opened the door. "Harrington! You showed up!" Eddie smiled widely. Steve stepped inside and he could hear some faint music coming from the back of the trailer. "What song is that? I don't think I've heard it." Steve gave Eddie a confused look. Eddie smiled widely. "That is For Whom The Bell Tolls by Metallica." Steve nodded. Seemed about right. Eddie went back and shut off his music. 

     "Alright, so are you ready to watch one of the greatest movies of all time?" Eddie smiled real big as he help up the tape before putting it in the VC player. Steve rolled his eyes, sitting down on the couch. "Yeah Yeah, Don't make me regret this Munson." Eddie smiled and walked toward the kitchen. "Wanna beer before we watch? I'd offer you a smoke but I don't think you're into those things, Harrington." Eddie grinned and Steve turned to face him. "Hey, I'm not all that clean cut, Munson." Eddie brought the beers over and sat them down on the coffee table. Then he took a seat next to Steve and reached in his vest pocket. He pulled out two joints and looked at Steve. "One for now, one for later." He smiled and picked up the remote to press play. Steve reached over and cracked open his beer. "So, what's this about anyway Munson?" He turned to face Eddie. "Well, you'll just have to see. I just hope you don't have a problem with Men in drag." Eddie chuckled and Steve looked at him for a moment. "Why would I?" Eddie nodded as the intro music played. 

     They had reached the Transexual Transylvania scene and Eddie decided it was time to spark that joint. Eddie took a deep inhale blew it up in the air leaning his head back. Steve was already looking at him when he did this. Steve felt his face heat up and his heart race. He didn't really have time to think about his bodily reaction when Eddie passed him the joint. "You good Harrington?" Eddie looked at him a bit confused. Steve reached up and took the joint from his hand. "Yeah I'm good." Steve inhaled as he turned his attention back to the TV screen. He took a long drag before passing it back to Eddie. "So what do you think so far?" Eddie looked over at him as he inhaled. "It's actually kinda good. I like the music." Eddie tapped his foot alone to the music as he exhaled. "Yeah the soundtrack is great." Eddie smiled. 

     After the movie ended they decided to have a few more beers, and they still had the other joint saved for later. Eddie went into his room and came out with a record in hand. "What's that?" Steve looked over at him taking a sip of his beer. "This, Harrington is Wig Wam. They're not super popular but they're rock n roll man." Eddie smiled and put the record in the record player. The record began spinning and playing the first track. Do Ya Wanna Taste It. Eddie jumped up and turned the volume up. "And put your jet in gear, anything to get you out of here. Gotta go hit that ride to the setting sun. Pack it up! Get ahead, gotta leave this mess behind, gotta cruise from the blues, gotta life to find" Eddie was singing and dancing like an idiot. Steve couldn't help but laugh. Eddie extended a hand and pulled him up off the couch. "Welcome to the show! Do ya really wanna, do ya really wanna taste it?" Eddie sung smiling at him. Steve was staring, he knew he was. "Poison to your mind, Devil in disguise!" Eddie did his signature devil horns and goofy look. Steve felt his face heat up. Worse than before. Just then the song ended and Eddie smiled at him. "Whatcha think?" Steve smiled. "Pretty cool, Munson. You're alright." Steve laughed and Eddie smiled. Eddie went over and switched out his records. "What are we listening to now?" Steve asked and Eddie turned to look over his shoulder. "Montley Crue" Eddie grinned and put they different record on. He started it and it began with the first track, Looks That Kill. Eddie turned around and rested a foot on the wall. He reached in his pocket and got the second joint. He lit it and took a long drag. He blew the smoke up in a cloud as the song echoed. 'She's got the looks that'll kill. That'll Killll' Steve was staring again. Eddie extended his hand for Steve to take the joint. "Take a photo, Harrington, It'll last longer." Eddie winked and Steve's face ran hot. He quickly took a hit and chased it with his beer. He looked down at his watch. Shit, twelve. "Hey Munson, I had fun tonight but I gotta get going. I've got work tomorrow and Robin will kill me if I'm late." Steve pulled his keys out of his pocket. "Anytime Harrington, Drive safe alright?" Eddie smiled and Steve got up and left. Maybe Eddie wasn't all that bad.
