Summary
“Oh my god,” he mumbles, barely above a whisper. “You cannot be fucking serious right now. Quit ages ago but now you're so desperate you're stealing from a dead guy." But up he gets, and trudges over to the closet, opening the door before getting down on his knees and reaching into the dark space to the left until his fingers feel the denim. He can’t even see the vest like this, but he squeezes his eyes shut and feels around, muttering, “Please, please, please,” under his breath before he finally feels the crumpled cardboard.

Summary
In the decade after Vecna, Steve Harrington had managed to build a fairly good life for himself in Chicago. Coaching women's college basketball and living just a short train ride from Robin, he'd found an easy, quiet rhythm. But it didn't take long for the universe to remind him that quiet is always temporary. When a cosmic joke is made, Steve makes for an easy punchline.
Alternatively— everyone is older, Steve helps a kid with his bar mitzvah prep, and a run-in with a former friend forces Steve to reevaluate everything.

Summary
He can’t breathe.
The tail yanks, and suddenly his back is slamming into the hard ground, the impact detonating every wound. He feels it all, and it’s agony. Ripping, shredding. The worst pain he’s ever known.
His heart stutters and kicks in his chest as his mind screams at him to get back up, to run, to do anything to survive; but he can’t. He’s pinned down, spread eagle on the dead ground, a storm of wings and teeth closing in.
Red lightning flashes above him, bathing everything in crimson, reminding him that he is in literal Hell.
He’s being eaten alive, and all he can think as the pain starts to blur is, I’m not ready.
Please. Not like this. Not now.
Please.
And then, from somewhere above all the madness that has become Eddie’s entire existence, a shape plunges into the wild fray. A human shape. An avenging angel, wielding a weathered baseball bat filled with bloody nails like it's a prayer in the dark.
An answer to his silent plea.
Steve.
OR:
Eddie Munson survives the bats.
Steve Harrington helps him learn to live again.

Summary
“Fuck you,” Jonathan growled at his older brother, low and guttural, fists clenched. Steve didn’t seem intimidated, which was strange given their history. He was just leaning against the door frame smirking.
“That’s enough, Steve,” Hopper cut in.
“Okay,” Steve said. His voice was dripping in sweetness as a cruel smile spread across his face. “Fuck me, Byers.”

Summary
"You were so cute. If the youngster wasn't there, I would've..."
Steve scoffed and chuckled lightly, tilting his head. They turned on the street where the Harrington house resided. "Would've what?"
For the first time in a while, Eddie found himself truthfully embarrassed to finish his sentence. His smile turned wry, almost sheepish. "Ah, I don't think... we're new, Stevie, and my comment was all kinds of fucked up--"
"Tell me, Eddie," Steve said as he parked the Beamer in his driveway.
Eddie swallowed. There was no distraction of the road to cover up what he was about to say and he rolled his eyes. "I... might've... I was kind of going to say something about making you a mother of three," he breathed hoarsely.
Steve went pink but was suddenly grinning from ear to ear. He was silent as he got out of the car and pivoted to open the back, letting the sun fall onto Eddie's features as he peered down at him. "Not six? I always pictured six."
After registering that response, without another thought, Eddie kissed him.
OR-
Eddie Munson survives the Upside Down and hides out at Steve Harrington's house to recover. Eddie completely changes Steve's life, sexuality and all.

Summary
While helping with packing and moving Eddie's stuff to the Munsons' new trailer, Steve and Robin accidentally come across some of Eddie's very private magazines. They decide to hide them at Robin's place until Eddie comes home, and that should be the end of it.
So Eddie's queer. It's not a big deal, because so is Robin. Except Steve can't stop thinking about it, and about their interactions in the Upside Down, and about how nice it feels whenever Eddie looks or smiles at him.
It might be just the flattery of it all, somebody finally being interested in him after a while, that's getting to him. Or is it? Would he feel the same way about any guy? And what should he even do about it?
Steve goes through a complex week of introspection; thankfully, not without his platonic soulmate by his side always ready to talk. And in the end, it doesn't matter if he still has doubts or unanswered questions. One thing he knows for sure: there's something about Eddie that makes him want to just go for it.Written for Steddie Love Month day 22 prompt: battle vest
