It was the weekend after graduation and it was Robin's 18th birthday. Everyone liking her since Steve brought her into our lives was an understatement. You all loved Robin. That is why you all decided to come together to celebrate her and throw her a birthday party.
Nancy of course was in charge of assigning everyone something to bring. She was in charge of bringing the cake. Max was in charge of drinks. Jonathan,Will and El were bringing food. Lucas was bringing paper goods and You volunteered to be in charge of decorations. While Steves only job was to bring Robin to the party he said he felt like he wasn't doing enough. So You told him he could help you shop and set up the decorations for the party. He agreed and there you went to shop at the local party supply store.

"By the way do we even know her favorite color? How do we know what colors to decorate my house in?" Steve questions as we walk through the aisles.

"That's why I wanted to go with a theme,but of course no one could agree on one. So I just thought silver and blue? Robin seems like she would like blue. Definitely not pink or purple."

He made a disgusted face.

"What about magenta. It's a mix of both,right? Pink and purple."

"I suppose." You shrugged continuing to walk down the aisle.

You gasped.

"Neon?" Steve asked. When You grabbed a package of colorful neon steamers.

"Robin is a colorful person. Wouldn't you say?"

"I- I mean sure. I guess. Woah,wait..I've got an idea." Steve said as he walked away.

Once You got everything neon imaginable,You pushed the cart to the checkout.
You kept looking around while You waited in line because Steve never came back.

You paid for your items and went out to wait by his car with the bags.
Then finally he appears with a few bags of his own,wearing a black fedora and ray ban style sunglasses with neon green temples.

Your jaw dropped as he walked toward you dripping the essence of cool. You began to laughed.

"Robin." He said matter of factly,as he popped the trunk.

The party went off with out a hitch. Robin really felt the love and told us so every time she got each of us alone,so you all were feeling it too. Thankfully Nancy brought her Polaroid camera to document the night.

You and Steve were taking out the trash when Eddie pulled up to the house.

"Oh look,Munsons here. You told him when it started,didn't you?"

You scoffed to yourself,and proceeded to throw the trash out.

"HEY PARTY PEOPLE!!" Eddie said cheerfully as he walked up the driveway.

"Munson! Hey buddy!" Steve said as they gave eachother a bro hug.

"I'm sorry I'm late,(Y/n). I lost track of time. Is it done? Party completely over?"

Steve winces and heads back inside.

"I mean,yeah,but we're all still hanging out. Probably gunna go for a swim since all the others left."

"Oh cool. So Robins still here. I have her birthday gift."

"It isn't what I think it is,right?" You said as you stopped him from opening the front door.

"I've got some for you too,Princess. Don't worry."

"Jesus Christ,Eddie." You cursed under your breath as you both went into the house.

Dustin and Mike went up to greet Eddie the moment he got in as if they never seen him.

Everyone was already changed into their swim suits and were heading out back for the swim.

"Hey Eddie,wanna borrow some trunks?" Steve asked.

"For sure if you got 'em,man." 

Eddie followed Steve to his room.
I went to get my bag from the side of the couch in the living room and slung it over my shoulder and waited for Eddie at the bottom of the stairs.
Steve came down with his towel hung on his neck.

"Hey. So why did he say he was late?" Steve asked lowering his voice.

You rolled your eyes and sighed.

"He said he lost track of time. But I mean he reeks of weed so I'm pretty sure he was getting high with his band after practice."

"Well it is pretty hard to keep track of time when you're loaded like that." Steve chuckles.

You follow suit,laughing with him.

Eddie loudly clears his throat.

Steve and I move apart.

"I'll see you out there." Steve heads outside.

I step up onto the stairs to go and change.

"So what was that?"

"What?" You say looking at your boyfriend,confused.

"You looked cozy while taking out the trash. You looked cozy now. Your faces were inches from eachother."

"We were talking,Eddie. That's it. Don't make a mountain out of a mole hill,Munson."

"I seen all the Polaroids. His arms around you in every single one."

"Well that could have been you,but you were out getting fucked up instead of being with me celebrating out best friends birthday."

"She's Steve's- "

"Seriously? If you don't care,why are you even here?"

"Why are so comfortable with him? You're not that way with Jonathan. Or Mike,or Dustin,or the other two. Why only Harrington?"

"Jesus,Eddie." Smiling,trying to come up with some sort of lie because I knew he couldn't handle the truth.
"Steve and I have history."

"You're taking a history class?" 

Eddie realizes what I meant and huffs.

"G-go get changed." He stuttered.

"Oh!! Hawkins newest love birds have finally joined the party!!" Robin shouts,as she shared her birthday joint with Jonathan.

Jonathan passes it to Steve.

While Steve takes a few drags Eddie sees a beach ball on the the floor and picks it up and spikes the ball right at Steve making him drop the joint into the pool.

"Oops." Eddie said.

"Party foul,Munson!! Come on!!" Robin yells splashing water at Eddie. You quickly moved aside.

Every one else catches on and does the same. Completely drenching Eddie.

You couldn't help but laugh at a more fitting punishment for a jealous hearted Munson.
