macho man

"So.. there's a whole other world u-underneath us and it-" Eddie swallowed "It killed Chrissy?" he said, tears in his eyes "basically yeah.. but take it slow in your head. okay? We understand it's a lot" Steve said softly, Eddie couldn't figure Steve out. Afterall Steve had cried into Eddies shirt earlier which had definitely embarrassed steve. They'd never spoken before. It was weird..

"What's your deal Harrington?" Eddie said, Steve looked at him mouth slightly agape in shock or something else Eddie couldn't figure out. Steve didn't understand what Eddie was saying. "I.. I don't.. I just- its- nevermind.." he responded looking away from the others "You sure...?.." Eddie asked, eyes glaring at Steve "yes. Now would you stop that! I don't like being stared at dude."

"Mhmm." Eddie responded "okay if you two are done flirting-" max was cut off by an incredulous sound from Steve who once they all looked over at was very red in the face "See? he's red. You were flirting. If your done we need to get to the Wheeler's. Like tonight." She told them "as much as I love the idea of-of getting out of here...
w-what if someone sees me?..." Eddie replies.

Max scoffed "you'll go in the car with us and Steve?" She said Steve looked over at her "that doesn't- wait my car is here?" Said Steve "Harrington shouldn't you remember driving your own car?" Eddie muttered.

"I.. it's been awhile okay?.." Steve told them "Steve? It's been 15 minutes are you okay?.." robin asked him "yeah-yes, I'm fine.. where's Eddie staying?" Steve said looking at Dustin "your place" Steve startled after hearing this "N-No!- what if he finds My-" Steve cuts himself off "your what? Porn mags Steve? I'm sure he won't go looking. I don't think he wants to see the kings stash". Dustin told Steve in a rude tone. Why was he being so mean?

It made it upset and without thinking he shouted "No my razor blades you idiot! I don't have porn m-" Steve stopped himself freezing "I -I meant-"
Dustin looked up at Steve horrified "Steve.. W-what? Like box cutters r-right?" He said Steve stayed silent. "Steve?.."

"Nothing!Dustin I swear on your moms job it's nothing!" No one in the room looked like they believed him. "Harrington- what the hell?" Robin said "are you.. W-Why- were talking about t-that- later-" robin muttered into his ear "Theres nothing to talk about Rob!" Steve yelled

"Harrington. You obviously need to talk to your girlfriend. Get it all out so that we can deal with this stuff, and no one will have to worry if you get better." Eddie said, Steve actually looked sick "I'm never gonna date robin Munson. Never- gross." He said "yeah.. I'm not ever gonna like.. dick. And I'm pretty sure Steve has that." She muttered "well I don't have one.. but I identify as having one- ha" the room fell silent "um. Sorry?"
Steve said. "You- your trans?-" Eddie said "I-I mean-I- yeah-yes" Steve muttered slightly backing away from them all.what should be do if they got mad Steve thought he was about to make a run for it until...

"But your such a macho man!?" Eddie barked out and Steve laughed the tension leaving his body "A- A macho man?" He laughed Eddie's face went pink "yes!! And you- you got so many girls!" He yelled "Yeah but I just g-gave them head!" Steve laughed clutching his sides "STOP IT YOU TWO!We have more important things then.. that." Dustin said "right" all Steve robin,and Eddie said.

Eddie repeated again "right.. fuck." He then said "so they really are real? You guys aren't just fucking with me huh.." they all nodded their heads Dustin sitting up. "I'm really sorry Eddie but.. we wouldn't joke about this... Wait where's he staying?" Dustin suddenly said looking straight at steve. Steve stared at him. Then he sighed "Well I mean .... He could stay at my house. Sence my parents are never home...." Dustin nodded at him "okay, yeah."
