pain in my heart for your dying wish / i’ll kiss your lips again
wayne and eddie would be offended and insulted if the government tried to offer them a house after everything is settled.
there's absolutely nothin' wrong with living in a trailer or trailer park, wayne insists. eddie agrees and can't see himself living in anything else. he grew up in a trailer and by god he'll die in one too (hopefully not until he's at least in his 80s the next go around)
wayne tells them that a two bedroom double wide would be just fine, thank ya kindly.
Robin studying psychology would be a very interesting route to take her but I just know that she would not know a moments peace ever again. The kids constantly asking her for advice and tips, Steve asking if some wild rumor he heard is real, Eddie teasing her if she complains about something bc "just look at your notes lol"
Just Steve telling Dustin how they whooooped Vecna’s ass, and Eddie being happy he’s got to hear Stevie’s voice again.
Ah? What you mean it never happened?
if Steve doesn’t even mention the battle jacket in season 5 I’m rioting
Okay, if Robin, Eddie, and Steve are all bitten by the bats where they all develop telepathy. They all use it to talk about Dustin in front of him. He quickly learns to recognize that look.
"You guys are doing it again! Goddamnit!" Dustin said. "Can you at least tell me what you're talking about?"
They also realize that can have the bitchiest conversations anywhere, anytime. They have a lot of fun with it.
Robin asks Steve while they're at work, "What's your dream ride?" Very obviously talking about cars as she holds up a movie with a car on the front. Steve doesn't look. He's watching Eddie flit around the shop looking for a movie.
Steve only half listening to Robin, hums and responds with, "Eddie."
Eddie: *overhears* It doesn't have to be a dream, baby!
yearning hours (bonus track)
Seeing Steve like this always makes Eddie feel like he’s suddenly in on some secret of the universe. Like he knew nothing prior to this moment, like history is rewriting itself around the two of them just now. It makes him feel like the boy he is — young, stupid, with no idea about the world and what lies beyond, and absolutely in love with another boy.
The light of the full moon catches in his hair, painting it silver and covering him in a sheen of light that Steve knows to wear like a second skin. He’s calm out here, his legs dangling over the abyss of the quarry, his hands in his lap, his chest rising and falling steadily. Slowly. Evenly. Eddie wants to reach out and hold his hand over Steve’s heart just to feel it against his skin, just to give his own some direction; to get it right.
No frown between his brows, no tension in the line of his shoulders, no clenched jaw or balled fists.
He looks beautiful like this; a playing field for light and darkness that treat him like an old friend that comes to visit, to stay just for the night.

Steve Harrington has a really cool T Shirt.
It was the exact type of shirt no one would expect him to wear, it was soft, and worn, and the design looked hand made, and sometimes there was a long, dark, curly, strand of hair stuck to it, like the person who made it left a piece of themselves there.
Dustin didn’t know where he got it, or how someone like Steve came across a shirt like this, but any time he asked about it, the teen got… Defensive.
Once Dustin asked Steve if he could borrow it, and Steve freaked out, like properly freaked out. So he stopped asking about it. It was a little strange how protective Steve was over the shirt, and how he never seemed to wear it to school, or outside of his house. He had to wear it somewhere though, because more often than not that long, dark, hair would be present, and Dustin knows for a fact Steve washes the shirt.
So where did he get it?
What exactly does “HellFire Club” mean?

I have this tiny little plot bunny in my head of Jonathan deciding he needs to do research because Will comes out to him, so he awkwardly asks Eddie (he heard rumours about his sexuality at school) to take him and Nancy to a gay bar.
At first Eddie thinks he's saying he wants to go to a metal bar (a special bar... your kind of place, you know?!) and is really confused, but eventually he clicks and then they find a weekend that works for them and he's a little excited to blow some straight people minds.
Cue them showing up to a bar where Robin and Steve are already there having the time of their queer little lives and all three of them having their minds blown instead of just Jonathan and Nancy 😂
Just them casually walking in, Nancy’s eyes wide at the sight of drag queens walking around, Jonathan who’s nose is scrunched up in confusion as he keeps looking around and finding something new, Eddie is calm and in his element as he playfully winks at a Waiter walking by watching the way their face goes pink. It’s calm for a minute before all of a sudden a crowd forms and Jonathan’s convinced they know they are frauds and wants to run. He’s very close to it to until he hears a lot of “drink drink drink” coming from the general area and a very drunk Robin being tossed up in the air. Giggling and having the time of her life. When the crowd thins out that’s when they all have a heart attack. There in the middle connected to Robins hip is Steve Harrington who is equally- no even more drunk then her casually talking to a guy next to him playing with robins hair who is currently talking to a girl while staying clinged onto Steve like she might lose him if she lets go.
Eddie dies that night
One day, Jonathan tells Argyle that he's almost certain Will is gay, so if that's gonna be a problem for him, he can just fuck off now because he's not gonna have people around his brother that aren't accepting of him.
Argyle just smiles and says "would be kinda hypocritical of me if it were a problem, my dude."
Jonathan gapes like a fish. "You're into guys???"
"Yeah, dude," Argyle confirms, "gender doesn't matter to me. I dig who I dig, you feel me? I mean, you didn't think I gave you that free pizza the first time you came to Surfer Boy just because, did you?"
Jonathan silently short-circuits at that as Argyle just smirks around a blunt.
Tommy wipes his palms against the side of his jeans and squeezes through the crowd, never once taking his eyes off of Steve as he makes a beeline right for him.
He’s a couple feet away, gearing up to call out his greeting when someone else beats him to it and sidles up to Steve. They touch Steve, putting their palm low on his waist, half tucked up under his blazer. It’s an intimate touch, an almost possessive one in a very casual sort of way.
Tommy freezes in his tracks.
Steve perks up in the presence of his new company, back straightening and body turning into theirs — receptive, familiar.
He tilts his head, just enough that Tommy can see the smile gracing his lips, the softness in his eyes, and the other person dips their own chin, leaning in to whisper something into Steve’s ear. Their curtain of hair sways forward, brushing against Steve’s collar, and Steve reaches up to tuck it behind their ear, giving Tommy a clear view of—
Of Eddie Munson.
Or, Tommy Hagan attends his ten year high school reunion hoping for one thing, and leaves with something else entirely.
