Slow and Steddie /// stranger things one shots. Steve Harrington x Eddie Munson

4. Lord of the rings... and cuffs- 🥰✨

AN: This story is based on the tick tock series by @milotheboywonder , specifically the very last episode if you haven't watched it I heavily suggest it. The plot doesn't really matter to this story, but it is a beautiful series. I just put my own visual spin on it. Ok! Enjoy your reading! <3

No ones POV

Eddie and Steve where laying in bed, Eddie was still laying down, watching Steve who was unaware Eddie had woken up.

Steve was reading Lord of the Rings, sitting up in bed, with the orange light of the rising sun gracing his face as he took sips of coffee from his mug, and Eddie just stared in awe.

He never understood how Harrington did it. He just look so effortlessly perfect all the time. Every small movement, every deep breath, every tilt of his head, every sip of his coffee, every strand of hair, every time he blinked, Eddie was infatuated with every aspect of him.

The golden rays where hitting his face just right through the blinds of Eddies motel room, highlighting every little detail that Eddie loved so much about his gorgeous boyfriend.

".... Your so beautiful." Eddie said, looking up at Steve. Steve jumped at the sudden voice, Sighing and smiling, putting his mug on a coaster on his bedside table. He hadn't actually heard what Eddie said, just his voice.

"Good morning..." Steve said, leaning down and kissing Munsons cheek. Eddie finally sat up and pecked Steve on the lips. "Good morning love." He said. "How long have you been awake?"

"Only like 30 minutes, the book was on my night stand and I just had the urge to read."

"You're reading my nerdy books without me?"Eddie asked. "Well yeah, I mean you asked me to. And how can I ever say no to you?" Steve said, smiling up at Eddie.

That smile. Eddie didn't know what Steve was doing to him... he felt all warm and cozy, and with the smile, it almost felt like he didn't deserve to see that sight. He loved that feeling.

".... Your so beautiful..." Munson said after a moment of silence, staring into each others eyes. The comment made Steve blush and hide his face in the book.

"Oh come on- don't deprive me of the sight now!" Eddie said, scooping Steve in between his legs so he could see the pages of the book and rest his chin on Steve's shoulder, while hugging him close.

Steve laughed and bended his legs to rest the book there, kissing Eddie's cheek as he turned the next page.

"I may not be entitled, but seeing you is definitely a privilege..." Eddie grumbled looking up at Steve again. "Oh come on, don't do that Eds... your just as pretty or even prettier than me!"

"There's a difference between pretty and gorgeous... and you my dear," Eddie kissed Steve's cheek. "You are that difference." He finished.

"Eddie it's too early for you to be flustering me like this... I can't think of my normal smart ass response.... This is what you do to me Munson. You've stripped me of my smart-assness." Steve pouted and Eddie laughed, nuzzling into Steve's Neck again.

He sighed and continued reading for a minute, Eddie just watching when Steve smiled happily at something he had read.

"... there shouldn't be many parts making you react like that-" Eddie said, holding the little amount of pages Steve has read between his fingers before letting go.

"Especially this early in the book... what happened?" He asked, and looked up at Steve who was resting his face in his hand still reading.

"Hm? Oh- it's nothing big, just that Frodo fell. But uh... Sams there, and I like Sam" Steve said smiling.
