Not Steve Harrington.

Part 12: Byer's Party

     Steve and Robin had a sleepover last night. Robin's parent's don't care because they like Steve, plus they know she's a lesbian. They were both awoken by the walkie. "Steve! Robin!" It was Nancy's voice. Robin picked up the walkie and talked into it. "Hey Nancy! What's up? We're both here." She smiled looking at Steve. "Will and Jonathan are coming into town! Jonathan's bringing his friend Argyle and we're gonna have a small party at the Byer's old house. Just the older kids." Steve and Robin looked at each other and smiled. Nancy spoke again. "Party starts at six and it BYOB." Robin pressed down the button. "We'll be there and with booze!" "Great! See you guys there!" Robin laid the walkie down and looked at Steve. "Well this will be fun." She smiled and they both made their way downstairs for breakfast. 

     Six o'clock rolled around before no time. Steve and Robin made their way to the Byer's old house in Steve's car. "You know Eddie's gay, right?" Robin turned to Steve. He rolled his eyes. "Yes, he told me when I asked about his flag." She smiled. "Soooo" Robin leaned in. Steve sighed. "Look, I'm gonna play this just like with a girl, kinda. I don't even know if he likes me like that!" Steve looked over at Robin. "Well, I guess, when you know, you'll know." She smiled as she turned up the radio. They arrived there at six-fifteen. By this time a few of them were there. Obviously, Jonathan and Argyle were there already. So was Nancy. Steve and Robin got out of the car and Steve grabbed the twelve pack he'd brought and Robin had Vodka. They walked up to the door and went inside. "Hey! Glad you could make it! Just set the booze in the kitchen." Jonathan smiled as he walked past them, beer already in hand. Argyle was sitting on the couch with a bong when they came back. Robin had made herself a drink and Steve had a beer. "Hey Brochachos! I'm Argyle." He had a goofy grin on his face. "I'm Steve and this is Robin." Robin waved. "Hey!" She sat down in a chair in the living room. "Nice to meet you dudes! You all smoke?" They both nodded. "Awesome Man!" Argyle lit the bong as started passing it as Steve sat down too. Just then, Eddie walked through the door.

     He was wearing black ripped jeans, a Montley Crue shirt, his jean vest, and his pocket chain and bandana. Steve couldn't help but stare and as he did he noticed Eddie was wearing eyeline. He looked away and took a drink. "Hello party people! I come with drugs!" Eddie smiled holding up his black lunch box. "Oh nice man, me too!" Argyle nodded. "That's what I like to hear!" Eddie sat his box down and stared rolling. He licked the side and Steve felt a blush creep up on his cheeks. He went for another drink but he was out already. "Shit. I'm gonna go get a refill." He got up and went to the kitchen to get another beer. When he came back Eddie was lighing his joint, leaning up against the door way. The music was playing loudly. He walked back, when Eddie reached out and grabbed his face. Eddie turned it to face his as he inhaled smoke and exhaled it into Steve's face, then he let go smiling. Steve's heart was in his throat. He coughed and looked at Eddie confused. "Sorry Harrington, but everyone's getting high on my watch." He winked and took another drag. Fuck. This was gonna be rough. Nancy made her way over and took the bong from Argyle. She ripped it without hesitating. Steve stared for second at her. "Don't give me that look, Steve. This is a grown up party." Robin snickered and Steve shook his head smiling. "Hey, Jonathan!" Eddie called out and Jonathan peeked around the corner. "Hm?" Eddie perked up. "Can I play something?" Jonathan nodded and Eddie jumped up to change the song. Steve heard the familiar beat he'd heard in the trailer the first time he went to Eddie's. Eddie started banging his head to the music. Steve smiled watching him dance around like a total dork. It was kinda cute. For Whom The Bell Tollssss Time Marches On! Eddie was dancing around and looked at Steve. "Take a look to the sky before you die, it's the last tiny well!" Steve shook his head. Argyle was banging his head and Robin was holding up the rock n roll sign. There was just something about Eddie Munson's personality that brought everyone together. Then the speakers rang with motorcycle sounds. "Hey I know this song man! It's Whole Lotta Love!" Argyle smiled and Eddie nodded. "Hell yea man!" I'm gonna give you my Love! I'm gonna give you my Love!  Eddie glanced at Steve while taking a sip of his beer. The music rang out. Eddie took off his vest and threw it down. Steve couldn't help but stare. He knew what he was attracted to, but how hard it was gonna be to resist him. Eddie blew out smoke from a lit joint and his eyes met Steve's. Steve's heart was racing. Did he know he was staring? Steve didn't know and decided he was gonna need to be a lot drunker to get through this night.
