Summary
“You can have the lasagna I saved for you yesterday,” Buck says pointedly as he walks down the hallway.
Eddie trails after him, close on his heels. “Baby, Johnson’s wife had an ultrasound. I was only gonna cover him for a couple hours but I got stuck on that call.”
Buck stops in the doorway of the kitchen and turns around to face him. “What if I had an ultrasound?”
“But you didn’t,” Eddie says stupidly.
“That’s what the ‘what if’ is for.”
“If you had an ultrasound and I had a shift, I would've gotten someone to cover for me.”
“Sure you would've.”
or, a pregnant Buck fusses over Eddie after he comes home from work with a sprained wrist, even if he's a bit mad at him

Summary
“Maddie,” Buck sobs, jolting slightly at the force of it.
“Buck? Is that you?”
“Mmm,” Buck whines pitifully.
“What’s going on? Are you hurt?”
“Yes!” Buck exclaims. “He— I can’t—”
There’s a bit of frantic typing on Maddie’s end. “Breathe. Just breathe. Is it the baby? Tell me what happened.”
“He’s cheating on me.” Buck’s heart nearly splits in two as he says it.

Summary
“I’ve loved you ever since I’ve known you, Eddie, and I—”
“Why’re you quoting Little Women at me right now?” Eddie interrupts.
Buck huffs. He didn’t exactly plan out what he was going to say, but he had a loose idea, and it certainly wasn’t Little Women. “I— I’m not quoting Little Women.”
“Yes, you are,” Eddie insists.
“No, I’m not! I’m telling you I’m in love with you!”

"You okay?"
"Yep," Buck grinds out into the sheets. "Got my period."
"Ah," Eddie says. The bed dips as he sits next to him, his big, warm hand settling across Buck's lower back. He absolutely refuses to melt under the comfort his touch brings. "Want me to get anything?"
"No. I'll get up soon. 'S just bad cramps."
or, Buck and Eddie have date night

Summary
“I left him out here, Buck.”
If Eddie hadn’t seen Theo, how long would he have waited by the door, how long would it have taken him to realize he was actually missing, how long would he have taken to call Buck, to tell him that he lost his kid but can’t go out to look for him?
“What do you mean?”
Eddie runs a trembling hand through his hair. “I was making lunch, and I wasn’t paying attention and he got out. I tried to get him, but I couldn’t—”
“But you did,” Buck cuts him off.
Eddie laces his hands together and pulls at a finger until the knuckle cracks. “I— I hesitated.”

Summary
Theo plops himself onto the closed toilet seat, drowning in his Spider-Man robe while Eddie blow-dries his hair. He leans his face into Eddie’s stomach, humming to himself and fiddling with one of his bath toys that he’d rescued before being plucked from the water. The tub slowly drains, the bathroom is humid and nice-smelling, and there’s the weight of a toddler against him. Eddie isn’t just falling asleep, he can feel the stress of the day melting away.
He sighs. Theo tips his chin to look at him and sighs back, flaring his nostrils like they’re two tigers communicating in chuffs.
“I’m happy that you’re here, Eddie.”
“Yeah,” Eddie says. He aims the blow dryer down the back of Theo’s robe, making him giggle. “Me too, kiddo.”
or, Buck needs some help putting Theo to bed. Eddie has his back.

Summary
After a few minutes he reached the road, scanning frantically for his boyfriend. He spotted him ahead, crouched on the side of the asphalt, hands scrabbling in the grass and gravel there.
“Stevie,” he murmured, more to himself than to the other boy. Eddie approached him carefully, knowing better than to run up to him while he was in this state.
Steve was pale, his eyes fixed on the ground as he parted the grass urgently, searching for something that was long gone now.
“Hey, sweetheart,” Eddie said gently, squatting down next to Steve. The other boy didn’t look up. “Whatcha doing there?”
“Gotta check,” Steve mumbled, fingers raking through grass still.

In the aftermath of Vecna, Steve is struggling. Eddie looks after him.

Summary
Title from ‘Duvet’ by Bôa
Just about forty-eight hours after his head hit Hawkins soil, Steve Harrington is ripped from unconsciousness with a breath that can only really be described as a wheeze, body launching forward and tumbling from thin mattress to hard linoleum with all the grace of a baby deer.
Everything is painfully slow as he wades in and out of reality, floating above himself for what might be hours or minutes or days, before Robin presses a boiling hot cup of tea into his hands and everything comes flooding back in all at once.
Vecna-Henry-One, or whatever the fuck. The plan. The Creel House.
Dustin, crying over Eddie’s almost-corpse. How light he was in Steve’s grip as he carried him through the portal, barely able to keep his own eyes open as Eddie’s threatened to slip closed. Seeing Max, limp and broken, too.
Passing out.
Steve’s eyes flick to Robin’s, panic breaking his voice into a meek little thing, “Eddie n’ Max— did they—” he grinds his teeth together, “did they?” -

Summary
“What else?” Eddie goads, once he’s done rolling his eyes all over Steve. “Who else is mean to poor baby rich boy, Steve Harrington?”
“You,” Steve points out, voice high, teetering on the edge of something he doesn’t fully understand. “All the other counselors, for that matter. I see how you guys look at me.”
And I see how you're looking at me right now, he wants to add.

OR: Camp Counselors Steve and Eddie have their differences... and something in common, too.

Summary
"When Steve wakes up, it’s to the sharp, piercing sensation of a migraine attack. He immediately closes his eyes and groans. His senses are heightened miserably.
Soft bird song is like screeching. The gentle rustle of tree leaves like the scrapes of fingernails on a chalkboard. (And god does he know that from working with a bunch of butthead eighth graders.) Any sunlight is like a laser aiming to obliterate him onsite. He’s warm and boiling and the blanket sears where it touches. But when the removes it, he’s frozen to his core and shivering. The dull sounds of Eddie’s snores—Steve almost wants to suffocate him; he may not usually be a motorboat, but wow does he mimic one amazingly right now."
