Tasha's Tumblr of Random

He curls up, crosses his arms on his chest, folds in his legs, and just sleeps. He snuffles and he snores and he mumbles. He drools a little. But he loves just disappearing during a party or something, and his friends find him later curled up and napping. He just gets so cozy.

She's so relieved to have a trusted male figure in Dustin's life. She even kind of loves that he's so different from her son, because she was very aware of Dustin's growing tendency to see certain kinds of people as inferior. Plus, it showed him that he could be loved by anyone, even someone from a completely different social circle.

Plus, Steve is sweet. He'd dropped the "charm the parents" act pretty quickly once Dusty called him on it, but he was still sweet. He always helped clean up after dinner or carried in the groceries, griping at Dustin about manners. He got that look in his eyes every time she hugged her, too. The one that said he needed a parent.

So she wanted to make sure he stayed close. Make sure he found someone good, and Claudia approved.

Most of the time, he gently turned down the dates, but every now and then he would click with someone, and they would go out. Claudia always hoped they were the one, but it always ended after a short while. She hated how disappointed he always was afterward.

Then she meets a nice man named Wayne. They met at Melvalds, both of them chatting with Joyce until a customer came. They chat for a long while, and despite appearances, Wayne is an easy conversationalist.

They go to Benny's, ordering hot plates and talking about their lives. Maybe Wayne flirts a little and maybe Claudia doesn't hate that, but the important thing is that Wayne has a nephew. A nephew who he seems super proud of who plays guitar and likes nerdy stuff.

They plot to set them up together. Steve agrees after a little poking, still a little sore after the last one ended so quickly. Eddie agrees as well, ever trusting of his uncle's opinion.

They park across the street with Claudia's birding binoculars and watch the two fall in love.

Don't worry about the bats. It's probably nothing at all.

And since I'm currently in VACATIONS (eh, eh), I have more time to draw- so...

The collection is growing... Soon, I won't be able to post them all together. Sighs.

Eddie wants to know what it's like. 

He can't really know, he knows that. He's not an omega. His body isn't going to give, not in that same way, but the desire to take has slowly scrambled his brain. It's all he can think about. And he needs to find someone, some other freak, willing to try to knot him. Now.

He scans the options from his spot at the end of his high table. Eyeballing every alpha that walks by, he knows they are all no good. Not for this, not for anything. There's nobody in this senior class he'd let anywhere near him.

Then, his eyes catch on a familiar head of hair.

Well, maybe one.

"No."

"What do you mean no?"

"I mean, no," Steve says, opening his locker. "No thanks. Go away."

Steve Harrington looks like someone tried to kick his face into the back of his skull. He looks like he can't take a deep breath without getting a glimpse of the afterlife, and yet. He's saying - "No. No??? No thanks, he says. I asked if you wanted to sit at my table at lunch and you say no? What the fuck does that mean?"

"That's a great grasp on the English language," Steve says, hobbling off to eat lunch alone. "I can see why you're repeating senior year."

"Dick."

All anyone can talk about the next day is how Steve is no longer on the basketball team. Eddie asks again because, "It's prime real estate, right there. At the best table in town."

"You think the best table in town is a wobbly cafeteria table that's permanently sticky?"

"I meant to eat at."

"The best table in town is in this school?" Steve clarifies. "Not at like, Enzo's?"

"Sit at my table during lunch."

"Sure," Steve says easily and then goes to eat in his car.

The next day, he's not at lunch. The day after that, he's not at school. Back in his car the following day, and then - "Get your ass off my hood, Munson."

"Come sit at my table," He demands, not moving from the hood of the car. "You're not better than us and you have no friends. Those are the only qualifications you need so let's go."

Steve doesn't bother to give him a response, just unlocks his car and slowly, very slowly lowers down into the driver's seat. He's speaking through his teeth in a pain-laced voice, "Do I look like I need friends, Munson?"

"Yeah."

Steve rolls his eyes, "Wasn't aware you hated the friends you have."

"I don't-"

"Because otherwise, it's pretty shitty that you're trying to make them targets by inviting me to hang around," Steve says. "In fact, maybe you should thanking me that I’m taking all the loser attention off you and your...loser friends."

Eddie tilts his head, let's what Steve said settle between them, and then grins, "Awe."

"You care about us," Eddie coos. "Steve Harrington: Nerd Protector. You're trying to keep us safe, cute."

Steve doesn't respond.

That title is weirdly accurate and he doesn't know how he feels about it so, "Get out of here."

"Sure, Harrington."

The next day, Steve walks out to the car with his lunch and...There are four nerds hanging around his car.
