Hell No || STEDDIE

Eddie "Wanna Bet?" Munson

(A/N: I hate tiktok rn, it's such a toxic place to have interests. Like at first it was kinda justified bc ppl were literally going crazy and making the actors themselves uncomfortable. But i jus saw a tiktok ab someone seeing stranger things halloween costumes in stores and everyone was calling it cringe.. it's a popular show, it's going to have halloween costumes. Those costumes have been around forever, since like 2016 when the show fucking started. I cant stand haters. Anyways that's lily's ted talk thanks for coming)

"I don't know how he plans on getting home." Eddie's eyes were wide as Wayne gestured at the window, Steve was still out cold on the couch but Eddie had been awake for about an hour. He was doing whatever wasn't in the living room, because this time he didn't remember what led to him and Steve cuddling again.

And sure he wasn't complaining, Steve hadn't done anything asshole-ish in a few days so he was in the clear as of late. But still, the fact that its happened twice is disorienting. Eddie decided that he wasn't going to let Steve, who wasn't even awake which made Eddie's fear ironic,

"He's going to be so pissed." Eddie cursed as he peeked through the blinds, the snow was up to the 3rd or 4th step of the trailer's porch, you couldn't see the wheels of Steve's car at all. Eddie was tempted to try and get out there to shovel it, but he knew he wasn't strong enough to attempt that.

Wayne and Eddie both turned to the couch at the small groan, Steve was kinda waking up. He was still laid down but his back was arched and he-

Nope.

Eddie shook his head, trying to force the thoughts out of his brain. Wayne looked between the two boys and decided he would do better in the kitchen down the hall, so he walked away as Steve pushed himself up and visibly shivered.

"Oh- Yeah keep that on." Eddie said quietly as he rushed over and pulled the blanket back on top of Steve.

"Shit.. Am i late for work?" He asked in a low, groggy voice, and if it wasn't 8 in the morning and freezing cold Eddie might've have a bigger reaction.

"I don't think you're going to work today big boy." He watched Steve's head snap towards him, probably at the nickname. But behind him Steve could easily see out of the window and at how white it is outside.

"Holy shit-" He stood slowly, the blanket that Eddie wasn't sure how it got there tightly wrapped around his shoulders. "Holy shit." He deadpanned again, finally seeing just how high the snow was.

"I don't have my snow tires on either. Fuck." That's right, Steve drove the kids to the party but it wasn't snowing half as bad yesterday, so there was no need for different tires.

"I mean i'm sure that's going to be fine sweetheart, your bigger problem is when is the last time you worked?" He watched for another reaction to the nicknames, but clearly Steve was too distraught to think about anything other than working.

Which, in Eddie's own expert opinion, didn't make any sense because he literally had access to his parents money at all times. Why does he care about working a real job when he doesn't actually have to, it isn't like he's some rich stay at home parent or something who can't help but engage in a million different hobbies to keep himself occupied.

Eddie just shrugged to himself and sat back down on the couch.

"I know it's a fucking ice cream shop but i'm actually freaking out- I cant get fired. Robin's been covering for me for the past few days. I'm going to get fired." His hands were on either side of his head now, the blanket falling away causing him to visibly shiver. Wayne and Eddie didn't have enough money for a good heater, or to set the house on anything above 72, so Eddie watched as Steve re-wrapped himself in the blanket and sat down on the other end of the couch away from him.
