The rest of the weekend passed, and Steve was kind of hoping Eddie had forgotten about the game, but he was wrong. When he got to school, there was a note taped to his locker that said 'meet me in the bathroom'. He sighed, shoving the note in his pocket. He walked to the boys bathroom, and gasped as he was grabbed and pushed against the wall. "Miss me big boy?" Eddie licked his lips, leaning close to Steve. Steve couldn't answer, because he was so shocked that Eddie had just given him an erection.

"uh...Eddie...you're a little close..." he gulped. "Whoops." the metal-head smirked, taking a step back. His eyes flicked down, and he noticed Steve's little problem. "I gave you boner? Oh shit, sorry man. I didn't think you would like that so much." "I didn't! I can't help it, ok?" Seve blushed. "It's cool man, it happens to all of us." They sat in awkward silence for a second. "Can you leave so I can fix it?" Steve whispered. "Oh! Right, sorry. Here." Eddie mussed up Steve's hair and smudged a little bit of his lipstick on the corner of his mouth. "We're supposed to pretend we're together, right? People will think we made out." Eddie suggested. "That's a good idea. Thanks Eds. Now please leave so I can do my business before I'm late for class." "alright big boy, picture my face, would ya?" "Nope! Not happening!" Eddie chuckled as he left the bathroom, messing up his own hair and smudging his eyeliner a bit before strutting to class.

Another week passed, and they talked to each other a little more than usual at school, but not much, and they pretended to makeout a few times. "I don't think we're selling it enough, Tommy keeps asking me if I've chickened yet." Steve said that Friday, when they were lying on his bed studying for math. "What else could we possibly do?" Eddie asked absentmindedly. "I don't know, you could actually talk to me at school, for one." Steve sounded kind of hurt, and Eddie sat up abruptly. "Whoa man, you're not taking this seriously, are you?" "what? No, I just want my money." "Good, because that's the only reason I'm doing this. I'm not into you, ok?" Eddie raised his eyebrows. "Of course! It's just a dare. I don't even like guys, so you have nothing to worry about." Steve fired back, shutting his textbook. "Wait actually? Cause I totally thought you were into me for a second there." Eddie sighed with relief. "You need not worry my friend, this man only likes boobies." Steve assured him. "Ew, gross stop." "What? You don't like boobies?" Steve sat up. Eddie didn't say anything, just fiddled with the rings on his fingers. "Oh. Don't worry, I'm cool. I don't like balls, so I guess we're even?" "I guess we are." Eddie chuckled, running a hand through his hair.

"You really are a piece of work Harrington, you know that?" The metal-head shut his book and rolled over onto his back. "Thanks... I think..." Steve rolled over too. "That's a compliment, by the way. I've never met anyone like you before. So, carefree and chill." They looked up at the stick on stars on Steve's ceiling, both grinning. "I thought you weren't into me?" Steve teased. "I ain't, I've just never met anyone who's popular, hot and... nice." Eddie sighed. "So you do think I'm hot!" Steve gasped. "No! I'm just saying you're objectively attractive!" Eddie argued. "Ya, sure. And also, not all popular people are assholes. Most, but not all." Steve reminded him. "Your friends certainly fall under the asshole category." "Yes Eddie, they do. Unfortunately for you, I'm also an asshole." He blew a bit of hair out of his face. "No, you're not." "Ya, I am. I'm literally pretending to date you for money because my friends dared me to! That's not something a nice person would do, ok?" Steve huffed, throwing his hands dramatically in the air. "Well an asshole wouldn't have glow in the dark stars on his ceiling." "What? That doesn't...you know what? Never mind." He huffed, and they both laughed.

"You wanna get high?" Eddie pulled half a joint out of his pocket. "We're 'sposed to be studying Eds, and my parents are downstairs, they'll smell It." Steve shook his head. "Then we'll just sneak out to my house." Eddie grinned. "That's a really shitty idea." "I know." Eddie got up and opened Steve's window, looking down. "Pass me your bed sheets." "What?" "Just do it!" Steve ripped off his bed sheets, and helped Eddie tie them into one long rope of fabric. They hung it out the window and tied one end to Steve's bed frame. "Ladies and germs, our escape route." Eddie grinned. "You wanna go first?" "Definitely." Steve gripped onto the fabric and Eddie lowered him out the window. "Please don't drop me!" He laughed as he climbed down from his second story bedroom. "don't worry, pretty boy, I got you." When he reached the ground, Steve cheered, wiping invisible dust from his pants. "Oh rapunzel, rapunzel let down your hair!" He called up. Eddie leapt out of the window with a cry, And Steve screamed as he Tarzan swung to the next window ledge. "Eddie! You're going to die!" "Never!!!" The metal-head laughed as he fireman polled down the eaves trough, strutting over to Steve with a grin. "You're such a dumbass, you could have fallen!" Steve scolded him. "But I didn't, did I?" They walked around the house, getting in Eddie's van. "You've got a horseshoe up your ass, that's what." Steve rolled his eyes as they pulled out of his driveway.

When they got to Eddie's trailer his uncle was at work, so they sat on his living room floor and smoked their weed and watched porn on Eddie's TV, alternating between gay and straight. Steve worked on a history project during the gay sessions. Around 7, Eddie ordered Chinese food and they watched horror movies Until the wee hours of the morning. "Hey Eds, because we watched porn together, that means we're best friends now?" Steve asked when Eddie dropped him off at home. "Hmm, can I think on it?" He teased. "Alright, see ya Monday?" "See ya." Eddie grinned as Steve got out of the car and walked up to his house. Eddie found himself smiling as he drove home.

Have a good day :)
