Summary
“Be real though, Ed. Harrington? You can’t actually be serious, here.”
Steve doesn’t like to eavesdrop, like, on principle.
Which is to say he totally does it.
He just doesn’t wholly approve of it, or think it’s a very good habit to have…while still doing it.
“You got me,” Eddie sighs, longer and deeper than can be taken wholly seriously. “I’m running my longest successful con to date.”
-
Or: Eddie’s bandmates confront him about his relationship with Steve. After practice. A particular practice that Steve’s picking Eddie up from because Eddie’s van is in the shop.
And, well…Steve’s already there waiting and can definitely hear everything being said.
By everyone.

Summary
“Then I almost left the sandwiches in Eddie’s van!”
Robin gasps dramatically, cradling her half-eaten PB&J against her chest. She’s in a much better mood now, after one and a half sandwiches, more apologizing from Steve and his dramatic retelling of this morning’s events.
“Which would be just my luck today, I swear! But Eddie wouldn’t let me forget them,” Steve says, his smile turning dopey the moment he brings up Eddie. He knows this because he sees Robin rolling her eyes. “So I grabbed them and then I-”
And that’s when it hits Steve. What he did. Almost an hour after the fact.
The fact being- He kissed Eddie.
or Steve accidentally kisses Eddie during what’s already a disastrous morning

Summary
What starts as confusion and disbelief slowly turns into growing curiosity for Eddie—especially when Steve asks to be his class partner. Behind the facade of the (ex?) 'King of Hawkins,' Eddie starts to catch glimpses of someone much more complicated.

Summary
“I’m Eddie, by the way.”
“Oh, uh—” The boy takes the hand that Eddie holds out and shakes it, apparently raised too well to snub an offered handshake. He is slow to offer his name in return, however, a flash of uncertainty crossing his fine features. Finally, he says, “Tom.”
“Can I buy you a drink?” Eddie asks, prepared to innocently pretend he had no idea Tom was here with someone else.
Eddie is treated to a third variety of smile from Tom—not the shiny, attentive smile he had for his friend, and not the easy, dreamy smile he had in general—but one that is a little sly and a little bashful at the same time. There is beauty in contradiction, Eddie has always thought so.
“Club soda,” Tom tells the bartender, “with lime—on my date’s tab.” Tom hikes his thumb over his shoulder, gesturing toward that old fucker back at the booth.
Behind Eddie, Jeff cackles, long and loud and exactly like a giant prick. “Oh, man,” Jeff says, making a big show of holding his ribs. “You got shut down by a fucking octogenarian!”
Eddie is settling into his new boring life as a teacher. He meets a guy at a bar. The guy’s not boring.

Summary
Eddie is a counselor at Camp Mirkwood: a homey, quaint, little sleepaway camp where the middle class dumps their children so they can get a summer to themselves. Steve Harrington works at Camp Loch Nora across the lake, a camp for country club progeny to experience nature in a removed, sanitized way and occasionally, to interact with the riffraff of Mirkwood to—build character or something.
Eddie hates Steve Harrington and the feeling is mutual. They also have sex in the woods sometimes.
