• TW: Violence, Drug Usage & Offensive Remarks •
Steve continued to drive down the road. "Hey, can we stop by my house real quick?" He asked, looking at Eddie for a quick second before looking back to the road. "Yeah man of course!" He said, smiling at Steve. He nodded his head with a smile as well. Munson looked out the window and watched the trees and buildings pass the window. He looked back towards the front and turned the radio on and messing with the channels. Harrington watched as the boy messed with his radio until he stopped on one, finally. "Now THIS is music, Harrington!" He said, laying back in his seat. Steve listened to the music Eddie had put on his radio. He smiled to himself, not wanting to admit out loud that he liked the music.
He looked to Eddie for a second. "This is so ass man." He said with a chuckle as he looked back to the road. Munson gasped dramatically at Steves comment and put his hand to his heart as if he was offended. "How DARE you Steve! This is music! Not whatever sappy bullshit you listen to everyday!" He said in defense. Steve rolled his eyes and laughed. "What do you mean sappy bullshit?! My music taste is amazing!" He said, still laughing. Eddie laughed with the boy and shook his head.
Steve finally pulled into his driveway to his house. The two get out of the car and walk to his door. Eddie looked around the front yard admiring the yard work they've put into the house. Steve unlocks the door and steps inside, Eddie following right behind. Munson looked around the room, not shocked at how well designed the house was. "So where's your parents, Harrington?" Eddie asked, looking at the pictures of him and his family that hung on the walls. Steve stands next to Eddie and smiles sadly. "Not here. Never are honestly." He said in a low tone, almost a whisper. Eddie looked at the boy, sadness in his eyes. He felt bad for him and he softly smiled. "Sorry man, i-i didn't know.." "No no, you're fine, Eddie. Really" he smiled and looked at Eddie.
He shook away the sad feeling he had and went towards the stairs, Eddie following. They went up to his room and entered. Eddie looked around his room, seeing a few posters, pictures of him and his friends hung on the walls, a bed near the window in the corner and stuff scattered around. He smiled as he walked closer to the picture of all of them together. Steve was standing in the middle, holding Dustin close to him in a hug. Robin next to him holding up a piece sign. Lucas was standing next to max and Mike. Mike was hugging will tightly, they both had huge smiles on their faces. Jane was standing next to max, both hugging each other.
Eddie smiled at the picture and turned back around to face Steve. As he turned, he was confronted by Steve with no shirt on. Eddie quickly looked away, making Steve chuckle. "Dude, you don't have to act like a little kid, I'm not a girl. We're both guys." He threw a shirt on and Eddie looked back at him and nodded. "Yeah yeah- uh, sorry just thought it would be weird. Yeah.." he stuttered over his words as he spoke. Steve laughed a bit and shook his head. He sat on his bed, Eddie following his lead and laying next to the boy. Eddie stared at the ceiling and noticed more little details. He had those glow in the dark stars on his ceiling, along with dozens of pictures of him and Dustin.
"Holly shit you're like, obsessed with Dustin dude." He teased Steve, nudging his side. Steve chuckled and laid back with Eddie, looking at the pictures with him. "Yeah, I guess so. He's like, my best friend." He said with a smile. Eddie looked over at him, watching his breathing pattern. He smiled softly and sat up. "Well, Harrington. We should get going to mine, yeah?" He said, standing up and looks at the boy who was still laying on the bed. Steve sat up after a moment and nodded. "Yeah, let's go." He said, smiling.
The two headed down the stairs and to the front door. As Harrington opened the door, he was greeted by Jason Carver and his group of jocks. The two stepped out of the house, confused. "Well well well.. looks like Harrington is hanging out with this.. freak now. How.. pathetic." Jason said, his "friends" laughing from behind him. He looked to Steve and then to Eddie, who was standing there with his hands stuffed in his pockets. Steve glanced over to Eddie and noticed he seemed.. uncomfortable. "What about it, hm?" Steve finally spoke, staring down Jason. He only scoffed in Steve's face and shook his head. "Can't believe your.. your hanging out with a faggot like him, Harrington." He said, turning to Eddie.
