Battle of the Bands (Steddie)

14.

They both smimed into the kiss that didn't last long. As they pulled away, Eddie admired Steve as he drank his cola.

"You know," Eddie spoke before leaning his back against the van's wall. "You're the best kisser."

Steve turned to face Eddie with a laugh. "You're so stupid, did you know what?" He leaned his back against the other wall, facing the other.

Eddie out a light chuckle before tilting his head. "I know but that's why I'm so irresistible."

"What are we?" Steve spoke sharply as he looked out the van.

"Uhm, I don't know?" Eddie looked down at his hands. "I don't want to get together just yet, you know?"

"So we can see other people?" Steve turned back to Eddie.

"I mean, if you still want to hook up with that one chick you did last week then sure." Eddie joked but obviously Steve didn't find it funny. "You have no sense of humor."

"She tried to hook up with me after we hooked up. I told her I couldn't help her 'study' or whatever because family was coming." Steve looked back out the van and took a sip of his coke. "See how loyal I am, since I thought we were together."

Eddie rolled his eyes with a huff. "Didn't you hate me originally? Should have just stayed that way since you complain about us not being together so much."

"Who said I still didn't hate you?"

"You did. You literally said you forgave me."

"That's doesn't mean I don't hate you." Steve shrugged and took the last sip of his coke. "Is there any beer?"

Eddie let out a breathy laugh as he went to look in the cooler. He grabbed the can and sat next to Steve, handing it to him. "I know you so well, don't I?"

"You probably just got it for yourself." Steve placed his head on Eddie's shoulder and opened the can.

"Yeah, you're right." Eddie admitted, making them both laugh.

They fell silent. The only noises that were heard was the light sound of music and wind brushing through the trees. Light taps hit the top of the van, signaling rain.

The light rain made Steve's tense body relax. He wrapped an arm around Eddie's with his head still laid on his shoulder. The fairy lights twinkled at the top of the van, making Steve tired by looking at them. He let out a yawn and placed down his beer.

"I could sleep, right now." Steve closed his eyes and snuggled more into Eddie's side.

"You can if you want to. I'll stay right here." Eddie took Steve's beer and placed it on the lid of the cooler. Eddie laid his head ontop of Steve's as he pulled a blanket over the two.

Shortly after the soft blanket was pulled over them, Steve fell asleep. However, Eddie couldn't sleep. His mind was running with different ideas and date places. But also was thinking about back home. How happy Uncle Wayne would be to see Eddie's actually getting along with people. And Gareth. Gareth would be happy to see Eddie's finally happy. The whole band would be happy.

Eddie tensed up as Steve's soft hair rubbed against his neck, snapping him from his thoughts. Steve woke back up after the shortest nap known to mankind.

"Hello, how was your cat nap?" Eddie softly smiled as Steve picked his head up and stretched.

"Fine, I just started to have a weird dream." Steve let out a small laugh, looking out the back doors.

Eddie softly kissed the top of Steve's head. "What did you dream about?"

"The song I made for Nance a while ago. You're friends with Johnathan, right?" Steve brought more of the blanket over him with a sigh.

"Yeah? Why?"

"Robin and I suspect her and Johnathan dated so I made a song called John and Nancy." Steve laughed a little before laying his head back down.

"Oh, no, yeah they fucked." Eddie admitted while shrugging.

"What?"

"I walked into them once, I just wanted to know if he was down to smoke."

Steve laughed as he signaled Eddie to hand him his beer again. "The song was like kinda upbeat too. I never told Nance about it, but Rob and I recorded it. She taught me how to play the drums for it."

"Steve Harrington knows how to drum? What a man of many talents. Can sing, master at sucking dick, and can drum? No way, that can't be true." Eddie joked before moving away from Steve to change the vynl to the W.A.S.P. one he had bought earlier.

"You can kiss my ass, I also play a little bass." Steve rolled his eyes and finished his beer.

"But you can't play guitar? Loser, not being able to shred." Eddie scoffed, moving back to his spot with Steve. "Just imagine playing this."

Steve laid his head back into Eddie's shoulder as he listened. Animal (Fuck Like a Beast) was the first song to play. Steve held back a laugh as he thought of a joke.

"What's so funny?" Eddie teased while nudging Steve.

"Nothing, I just image this as your song to hype yourself up before hooking up with someone." Steve finally let out his laughter, making Eddie laugh as well.

"Are you high, Harrington?" Eddie spoke between laughs. He really was mesmerized by the boy next to him.

"I wish, Munson. I wish." Steve looked up at the other and admired his dimples. Aswell as the light freckles scattered across his face.

"Time to head back home?" Eddie sighed when Steve nodded.

"Don't pout, we can clean your van out tomorrow." Steve smirked as he threw the blanket over Eddie's face. Steve got out the back of the van and stretched. "Also, you're really cheesy, Munson."

Eddie took the blanket off his face, throwing it somewhere and turning off the record player. "Why's that?"

"Take me on a cliffside date in the back of your car. Usually they end in sex." Steve waited for Eddie to finished turning everything off.

"Well I didn't want sex." Which was true, for the most part. "I just wanted to make your night special, which I feel like I did."

Steve stood infront of Eddie with his arms crossed. "You did, and thank you for that." Steve smiled as he walked off to get into the passenger side.

Eddie softly laughed to himself, closing up the van.
