To Hell and Back Again

Chapter Eight

(This chapter gets a little dirty. Reader discretion advised)
Dustin held his walkie talkie trying to get a hold of Mike while Robin glared at Steve angrily. Eddie held and ice pack on Steve's hand which was already bruising from punching Ted. Steve glared right back at Robin. "You're a dingus." She said breaking the silence.
"I know." He bent his hand and winced at the throbbing pain. Eddie held Steve's hand and pressed the ice against it gently after taking it off to look at the bruise.
"Next time you punch someone at least ask for my rings to do extra damage."
"Thanks, Eddie." He bent his fingers again to test the pain.
"Um right now might be a great time to ask you if I can sleep over?" Robin smiled and reached out her hand to touch Steve's knee.
"What?" Steve looked up with furrowed eyebrows.
"My mom told me I had to find a friend to stay with while she went on her trip out of town and I thought hey maybe Steve would be a good friend and offer his guest room." Robin looked at him with puppy dog eyes.
"Fine." Steve leaned back against the couch. Dustin's eyes shot up.
"I'll sleep on the couch." He gave Steve a goofy smile.
"Oh my god. We could have a sleepover." Eddie turned to Steve.
"Fine. But I'm going to bed in..." he grabbed Eddie's arm and looked at his watch. "Two hours." He looked back at Dustin and pointed. "I'll call your mom." Steve stood up and Eddie took the opportunity to slap his ass. Steve turned around and frowned. "Really in front of the children, Edward?" He pointed at Robin and Dustin.

It was now midnight. Two hours after the time Steve wanted to be in bed. He was standing at his closet putting on his pajamas. "Are you sure you're okay?" He turned and looked at Eddie who was sitting on the bed.
"Yeah I'm sure. I feel fine." Eddie picked at his nail polish. Meanwhile, Robin and Dustin were sitting outside Steve's bedroom door listening through the crack. "I guess I just needed to get some of that black goo out of my system." Eddie chuckled at his joke. Steve walked over to the bed and crawled on top of Eddie.
"You scared me." He sat on Eddie's hips and looked down on him. "I thought you were going to die... again."
"Okay you said you were scared but you were probably thinking about how unfortunate it was to see me naked." Eddie smiled. Robin was on the other side of the door making a gagging face.
"I said unfortunately. Doesn't mean I didn't like what I saw." Steve leaned in and fiddled with the edge of Eddie's boxers.
"Woah." Eddie grabbed Steve's hand. "A week ago you were straight."
"I've known you for a year and a half, Eddie." Steve leaned down and kissed below Eddie's belly button.
"Steve..." Eddie put his hand in Steve's hair. Steve pulled down Eddie's boxers. "Woah... Steve," Eddie was completely taken by surprise. Robin looked at Dustin and immediately grabbed his hand and pulled him into the guest room next door.
"We shouldn't have heard that." Robin and Dustin stared at each other mortified.
"Jesus, Eddie." Steve moaned loudly. Robin looked at Dustin then cupped her hands over his ears.
Eddie rolled on top of Steve. Their naked bodies were pressed on top of each other as they traded kisses. Steve wrapped his legs around Eddie's waist and moaned as Eddie clapped his hand over Steve's mouth. "Be quiet." Eddie whispered in Steve's ear, Steve closed his eyes and tilted his head back. Eddie's guitar pick necklace and hair dangled in Steve's face and he moved his hand off Steve's mouth. Steve wrapped his hand around the necklace and used it to pull Eddie closer for another kiss. Eddie grabbed the edges of Steve's pants and pulled them down. Steve's face turned bright red. He took Steve's hand and held it above his head while he moved his head down. Steve's eyes got wide as he squeezed Eddie's hand.

"What the fuck just happened?" Steve sat up and looked at Eddie. Eddie smiled and laughed.
"We used Robin's gift."
"Gross!" Steve elbowed Eddie. He turned over to look at Eddie. He put his hand on Eddie's chest. He admired Eddie's tattoos. Most of them were stick and poke. He ran his fingers over one on Eddie's collarbone. It was a spider but the tattoo was faded. "Did you do this one yourself?" He asked Eddie who was staring at Steve's eyes.
"Yeah. I used a machine for that one though." He felt the spot over his chest. "It didn't heal right and rejected the ink so it started to fade." Steve looked at Eddie who was focused on Steve's hand on his chest.
"I would have much rather lived the metal life than the cookie cutter jock life." He continued to admire Eddie's tattoos. Eddie sat up and smiled.
"Really? Steve Harrington wishing he was a metal head?" Eddie took Steve's hands and kissed his nose. "We can make that happen." Eddie sat up on the bed and went over to the closet. He pulled out one of of his band shirts and pairs of jeans and threw it at Steve. He opened one of his bags and pulled out a bottle of black nail polish and eyeliner. Steve put on the clothes and looked at himself in the mirror.
"Is this a crop top?" He turned to the side to see that it was unusually short on him. Eddie held his face and started rubbing the eyeliner around his eye. He smile and closed his eyes. Eddie licked his finger and smudged the liner around Steve's eye. "Gross." Steve laughed and held into Eddie's shoulder.
"Okay now open." Steve opened his eyes and looked in the mirror again.
"I look like a sad raccoon." He looked back at Eddie who was unscrewing a bottle of nail polish.
"You look fine." He grabbed Steve's hand and started painting. "Do you bite your nails?"
"No..." he looked down at his torn up fingers. "Sometimes. Not often." Eddie glanced up at Steve and shook his head.
Steve stood in the mirror and admired his metal self. He turned and showed Eddie. "You look hot," Eddie stood up and walked over to Steve.
"I look like you." Steve laughed and turned back to the mirror.

The next morning, everyone sat very quietly around the dining room table. Steve took a bite of scrambled eggs and looked at Robin who hadn't looked up. She glanced up and met eyes with Steve. The walls are extremely thin. She mouthed towards Steve, his entire expression changed. He glanced over at Eddie who was eating. Then at Dustin who was just staring down at his plate of eggs, moving them around with a fork. Steve took a drink of orange juice and looked back at Robin.
"So how'd you sleep?" Dustin asked staring right at Steve. Steve choked on his orange juice.
"F-fine. How about you?" Steve smiled.
"I didn't." Dustin said with a bitter face. Robin looked back at Steve. You did it? She mouthed back.
I don't know what 'doing it' is because I'm not twelve. Steve returned.
"What's going on?" Eddie looked over to Steve and Robin.
"You had s-sex and we all heard it and now I'm traumatized." Dustin declared from his seat. He slapped a hand over his mouth.
"Nah, it was probably the pipes. This house is old." Eddie took a bite of food.
"Okay, the pipes were screaming your name?" Dustin continued. Robin, Steve, and Eddie all looked at him extremely shocked.
"Someone got piped last night.." Robin added.
"Okayyy. Let's stop this here." Steve stood up and took his plate. "Robin, you're childish. Dustin, sincerely apologize. Eddie..." he just stared at Eddie.
"Watch out they might go at it again with us sitting right here." Robin smiled and elbowed Dustin who was mortified.
"Robin. Extremely childish." Steve pointed at her and walked away with his empty plate of food. She looked at Eddie who was still eating.
"It was tiny, wasn't it?" Robin smiled and leaned in to talk to Eddie. Eddie shook his head no and held up his hands to show Robin. She looked over at Steve then back at Eddie. "Seriously? Hold shit." Dustin dropped his fork and looked at Eddie.
"I didn't see. Do it again." Eddie held up his hands again and Dustin nodded. "That's not disappointing." Steve whipped his head around.
"Can you stop talking about me? For god sakes I'm right here." Steve sat down. "So what are we going to do about Mike? We need him to help us." Eddie took his hand under the table.
"I've been trying to get a hold of him." Dustin shrugged. "He hasn't answered. Probably because someone ripped all the phones out of his house," Eddie fiddled with Steve's fingers under the table. Steve looked down at his hand and he had Eddie's rings on. Steve smiled and looked back at Dustin.
"I-I did what had to be done." Steve shrugged.
"And If they do call the cops?" Robin asked.
"Then we're screwed."
