April 9th, Wednesday, 1986. Steve Harrington's House.
1:44 PM.

Steve was awake & slouched on the uncomfortable leather of his couch while Eddie was still asleep upstairs. He was weirdly interested in the show he was watching even though it really had no plot.

Eddie was actually awake, but chilling all by himself, pretending he was asleep. He was sure that Steve probably didn't want to see him right now.

The vampire was looking around Steve's room after washing his face & brushing his teeth, in new, clean clothes. He was looking at all the polaroids that he had.

There was one he still had of Nancy. It was both of them making a kissy face at the camera, puckering their lips as they had their eyes squeezed shut.

The polaroid was titled, 'Skipping with Nance!' & had hearts all around it. Eddie smiled a little to himself. But he had to admit, he was kinda jealous.

He wished that Nancy was him. He wished that Steve loved him. He knew it'd never happen though. They both wouldn't work out. Just like every other relationship.

Eddie then looked at another polaroid. It was Steve holding up his black handkerchief with the skull print on it. He had a stupid smile on his face while buzz cut Eddie was in the background, his arms crossed & a scowl on his face.

The vampire laughed a little at the picture. He remembered taking the photo in freshman year, Tommy being the one to capture it with his polaroid camera.

The picture was titled, 'Got hanky boy's little hanky'. Tommy's handwriting was next to Steve's, 'He looks so stupid'. Next to Tommy's was Carol's, who was obviously complaining. 'Stop writing on these!!'

Eddie laughed. The three of them were an interesting trio. Sometimes they could be funny & nice, but most of the time they were annoying, douches.

After a little while, Eddie set the polaroids back where he found them, in the drawer of Steve's nightstand. It was pretty messy & had some..questionable things in it.

He sighed & stood up, walking downstairs to see Steve slouched on the couch like before. He didn't even say, 'good morning'. He just went to the kitchen & got himself something small to eat for breakfast.

Like always, food wasn't ever filling for Eddie. Especially when it was human food & he was a vampire. He wanted blood, but it's not like he could get any right now.

Steve heard Eddie opening & closing cabinets in the kitchen, the sound making him turn his head in the vampire's direction.

"Not even a good morning, Munson?" Steve joked in his tired, hoarse voice. Eddie smiled a little. "Sorry. You just looked so interested in that show."

Steve stood up & walked into the kitchen, the TV still playing in the background. He walked over to Eddie & stood near him, watching him make his own little snack.

He really wanted to pull the vampire into a hug, but that would be awkward, wouldn't it? Steve watched his every move, his heart racing as he watched.

Why did he have to feel like this about Munson? He didn't want to. He really wished that he didn't & they remained as friends.

"You're pretty interested in watching me, huh, Harrington?"

Steve snapped out of his thoughts, looking at the vampire's face which had a stupid grin on his face. Steve rolled his eyes. "Maybe 's 'cause you look ridiculous."

Eddie furrowed his eyebrows & tilted his head as he took a bite out of the snack he made for himself. "Sure, H. Anyway, I'll be upstairs if you need anything."

Steve nodded, watching Eddie walk away & go up the stairs. He just kind of stood there, his mind & face blank. After a little bit, he walked upstairs.

He walked into his room, seeing Eddie laying down on a pillow. Steve walked over to him quietly, snatching the pillow from under Eddie.

"Agh- Steve?" The vampire laughed as he rolled onto his back. Steve threw the pillow at him with a smile, Eddie catching it & holding it in his arms.

Steve climbed onto the bed, hovering over Eddie as his hands laid on each side of the vampire's head. "Hi, Munson." Steve stupidly smiled.

Eddie laughed. "Hey there, Harrington." They laid there for a little, staring into each other's eyes as they held hands. It just felt so nice being happy for once.

But, their little moment was interrupted by Eddie grabbing the pillow in between them, & smacking Steve straight across his face with it.

"You shithead!" Steve yelled, grabbing another pillow & hitting Eddie. Eddie laughed loudly, hitting Steve's pillow with his.

The two kept going back & forth, one hitting the other in the face or throwing pillows. Even hitting each other's pillows & snatching them.

Steve fell off the bed, falling right on his ass. He groaned in pain, "Ahh, shit!" But then, he started to laugh. Eddie was on the bed, cackling as he held his aching stomach from laughing so hard at Steve falling.

Eddie walked on his knees on the bed, looking down at Steve as he laughed. But, he fell too, making the both of them laugh harder.

It was even funnier since he landed right on top of Steve. They both felt so light headed from laughing that much, their stomachs hurting.

Steve laid down on his back as Eddie laid down on top of them, the both of them catching their breaths. "Oh my god, you're so stupid!" Steve said, lightly hitting Eddie on his back.

"Yet you were the one who fell off the bed." Eddie smiled. Steve rolled his eyes, only to look down at Eddie who was already looking up at him with his big, brown doe eyes.

Eddie scooted up, their faces now closer. Steve's smile faltered, looking at every detail & speck on Eddie's face. His lips looked so dry, but it didn't bother him.

Eddie soon realized what was happened, his heart racing as his smile faltered. What if Steve regretted it? Before he could even protest, Steve connected their lips.

Steve's soft lips went perfectly with Eddie's dry lips. Their lips moved in sync, but slowly. Steve closed his eyes, snaking his hand behind Eddie's neck & deepening the kiss.

Steve felt amazing. Like he was floating on a soft cloud. He didn't want the kiss to end, but he pulled away, slowly realizing what he just did.

He kissed Eddie.

He immediately regretted it & Eddie could see it in his eyes. Eddie quickly got off of Steve & climbed onto the bed, facing away from Steve as he laid down.

Steve suddenly felt like he wanted to scream & cry, to rip his hair out. He didn't know why he even did that, but he regretted it so much. He hated himself for it.

Oh, fuck. He messed up, didn't he?
