Steve let out a soft whine as Eddie kissed him again, he placed him back on the floor. "I will drive you both to your place once Dustin comes back. We can pack up anything you want to bring on the road. Smile, sounds like they're coming back."

Steve gulped and smiled as Dustin came running in. "So, are we going to join them on tour? Eddie said he would ask."

Steve looked to Eddie, the man quickly pulled out his lighter and began to play with the flame. "Yes... Yes we are. We are going to be traveling with him." Steve replied softly. "Isn't that exciting?" Steve asked softly.

Dustin was bouncing up and down before he began rocking on his heels. "This is going to be amazing! Eddie even said he could get me into commercials and maybe some kid shows! You're really letting me do it?"

Steve looked at Eddie, his smile was wide. "Yes, of course."

Eddie grinned as he wrapped an arm around Steve's shoulders. Dustin's eyes widened. "Are you two dating?! Have you been long distance?"

Steve looked at Eddie who grew closer to him, his grip tighter. "We've been talking about it, but long distance is hard for us, so that's why we also wanted to do this tour traveling together." Eddie lied through his teeth. "Surprise."

"Wait.. Wait. So I could have Eddie Munson as my dad?!"

Dustin began to jump up and down his fists hitting the air. Steve gave Eddie a look but the way Dustin was hooting and hollering about it made him rethink what he was going to say. "Yeah, we didn't know how else to tell you."

Dustin was excited, Steve's emotions were on to very different spectrums. He was happy to see Dustin so happy about something, but he was also sick to his stomach. Eddie would be able to control him, Eddie had them both under his thumb. Steve didn't know how to react to the situation at hand, if he made Dustin aware of the truth he could be in more danger than he already was. Yet if he just played the happy boyfriend to Eddie their lives would be stuck.

Eddie pulled him closer, his fingers digging into his side. Steve put on his best fake smile. "I've got to go sign some autographs," Eddie said in a sing song sort of way. "My assistants are going to get you both something to eat and talk you through the next steps of this. We are going to need to pick up some of your items from the house, which we are keeping so we can come visit or stay in during my off time, we need to go shopping tomorrow for better outfits for the two of you."

Dustin was head over heels about the idea. Steve was starting to feel more and more nauseous by the second. The assistants made themselves more noticeable once Eddie left the room, their smiled were polite.

"What can we get you?"

"Anything?" Dustin asked.

"Nearly anything."

"Okay, a burger, fries, and chocolate milkshake from Benny's Burgers." Dustin rattled off his order. Steve smiled, Benny's was a good place, Benny was a good man. "For you dad?"

"Same for me, just make the milkshake strawberry. Thanks."

The two nodded and headed off to make the order and get the food. Steve and Dustin were now pseudo celebrities, once people learned of their presence it was going to be the talk of every magazine and newspaper.

Eddie was happily signing the autographs of the fans who stayed behind. The assistants made their way up to Eddie and explained the meal choice of his 'guests'. "Get me the same as the little dude." Eddie mumbled as he signed another T-Shirt, the two nodded and made their way officially to the diner.

Steve looked over Dustin. "I want to make sure this is what you want." Steve said softly sitting back.

Dustin looked up. "Yes dad yes!"

Steve tried not to sigh outright. "So you're okay with traveling the world and being in an RV a lot of the time and not being with your friends all the time?"

"Yes dad, I know you're worried but I want to do this!"

Steve could see the excitement in his face, he gave him a soft look. "Are you really going to be happy?"

"Yes yes! He's going to give us everything he already said that. Plus we can travel and go to all of his concerts."

Steve nodded. "Okay. If this is what you want."

He sat back, trying not to cry. Dustin wrapped his arms around him tightly. He let out a soft breath as he pulled him closer into the hug. He didn't seem nervous or scared about this big change, so he was going to just accept it. At least until he could find a way for them to leave.

Eddie signed the last photo and took one more picture before he headed back to the back room, as he slid in the assistants walked in the meal. Eddie and Dustin were ravenous but Steve could hardly eat. He forced himself to when Dustin looked up with concern. "You okay dad?"

"Just fine, sorry big adjustment I'm just thinking about what I need to do. We need to let the school know you're going to be homeschooled and I need to call my job."

Eddie grinned, he was behaving well. "We can cover it all in the morning, let's head to your house after we eat, we can sleep there then pack up in the morning."

Steve bit his lip, Eddie sleeping in his home felt like a greater violation than what had already been done. He was being forced to uproot his boy's life and Eddie wasn't even sorry.

Eddie smiled as he scooted a bit closer to Steve on the couch. "Ready?"

"Y-yeah." Steve managed out. "Will be the first time you get to see the house. I don't live at my parents anymore."

Eddie smiled and kissed his cheek. "Ready bud?"

Dustin looked up with a smile. "Yeah!"
