Jonathan: what do you want Eddie.. it’s like—

Eddie: 9pm, sweetheart. You’re 2 hours late for our date.

Jonathan looks at the time and curses under his breath

Jonathan: Shit.. Eddie, I— I didn’t mean—

Eddie: it’s fine, you can make it up to me now

Eddie pushed Jonathan in and kissed him

Jonathan: Eddie not here! My family’s home today!

Eddie pulls away and backs away after a moment

Eddie: okay, fine. Meet me at the theater tomorrow, 6pm

Eddie pats Jonathan head

Eddie: don’t be late this time, okay sweetheart?

Robin: Steve hears that all the time. But he goes in anyway

She looks at Steve

Robin: Don’t cha Steve

Steve: what the hell is wrong with you?

Murray: Its funny

Steve: Heyy, do you girls maybe wanna come over to my place and have some fun?

One of them was confused while the other was amused.

?: Sure, we’d like that.

??: ..We?

The night went pretty good, at least to drunk steve he thought it went well. Making out with the shy girl and having fun with other. It was until he woke up to a painful headache and looked over at his hookups to realize who exactly he was—

Jonathan rolls over to the other side of his bed. But he still couldn’t sleep.. not after the nightmares he’s been getting. He quietly gets out of bed and goes to the house’s phone, dialing someone’s number.

Half an hour later, he hears the soft sound of pavement crunching from outside. He quickly opens the door.

Steve: Hey Byers. You doing—

Jonathan suddenly hugged him. Eddie peeked out from behind Steve.

Eddie: bad dream again, Jonathan?

Jonathan: Yeah..

Steve: Oh, I wouldn’t want it any other way

Eddie was staring suspiciously at them, knowing that look

The next day

Steve: So, what’s your opinion about me now?

Eddie: careful Harrington, he might have fallen for you. Isn’t that right, Jonny ~

Steve and Eddie were waiting for Jonathan to come out since they already wore the heels and makeup. Jonathan eventually opened the door, shifting slightly.

Steve: Wow

Eddie: Wow

Jonathan: I look ridicu—

Eddie: Wanna makeout, pretty boy?

Steve: Heyy pretty lady, wanna come over to my place tonight? ~

Jonathan: Steve, I’m a man..

Steve took a moment to register his words

Steve: Heyy pretty boy, wanna come—

Jonathan: Oh Steve.. I’m never letting you drink again.

Steve: is that a yes?

Jonathan: Yes..

Steve brushes his hair back while Natalie gives a slight laugh

Natalie: I’ve kinda always had a crush on you, Steve

Steve: I’ve always had a crush on you too, Jonathan

Natalie gasp

Steve: I mean Eddie!

Natalie’s brows furrowed in disbelief as she scoffed with her arms stretched out, already upset

Steve: I MEAN NATALIE! NATALIE!

Steve laughs and looks around awkwardly before placing a hand over his face. Natalie lets out a disappointed gasp.

Meanwhile..

Jonathan: ACHOO!

Robin: Hey dingus, how was your date?

Steve who was still hung over: i think it went good..

The next thing Robin knew, Steve’s head was on the counter. She sees his wallet and takes it, planning to prank him but instead a Polaroid falls out.

A few minutes later, Steve wakes up and sees Robin looking at a Polaroid. He gets up to see what she’s looking at.

Steve: what are you— HEY, GIVE THAT BACK!

Eddie: Hey Stevie! You actually came

Steve: It would have been rude if I didn’t

Steve looks behind Eddie to look at Jonathan, who was pressing his face against his back

Steve: what’s with him?

Eddie: Don’t worry about him, he’s just tired. Right, Jonny?

Eddie shook Jonathan’s hand, he looks away from Steve’s gaze and nods

Eddie: Alright! What shall we do for our date night?

The three start their night with arcades, record stores, and finally a movie. Steve and Eddie were mostly talking to each other while Jonathan held onto Eddie’s hand, he would chime in every few times when the topic got interesting. In the end, Jonathan got to know more about Steve and so did he. Maybe, just maybe.. Steve a jerk after all.

Eddie: Okay sweeties, let’s end this little party of ours and head home.

Jonathan doesn’t say anything but he doesn’t let go of Eddie’s hand, which makes him look and knew what he wanted.

Eddie: Unless ~ We could go to someone’s place and crash there for the night.

Steve shrugged and nodded, volunteering his place since his parents are out of town again. They went to drink to their heart’s content, along with a little convincing for Jonathan to join in on the fun (Or else the would have pushed him in the pool). And even though neither Steve nor Jonathan wants to admit it, they might actually liked each other’s company.

Click!

Eddie: Yep, I’m so keeping this..

The two men were passed out on Harrington’s bed. Jonathan was resting his head on Steve’s chest while he slept like a horse. Eddie looks at the Polaroid of them and smiled, he pockets it before joining the two in their nightly cuddles. Little did Eddie know, Jonathan would pinned that exact Polaroid on his ‘My Husbands’ board once they got married and moved in together.

Steve: you wanna bet on that? Watch me.

Steve walks over to the crowd of girls outside of Scoops⚓️Ahoy. They instantly noticed him, some give him glances and some smile.

Steve: Excuse me ladies, Sailor coming through.

The girls move aside, confused. Who was the lucky—

Steve: Heyy, how about you and me go out sometime? I can bet you, it’ll be worthwhile ~

The two of them looked at him as he winked

Eddie: Sure pretty boy, here’s mine and his number. Let’s go out tomorrow at seven ~

Jonathan: Eddie don’t give him my—

Before he could even snatch it back, Steve took it and went back to Robin. Jonathan hits Eddie’s arm, he retaliated by throwing Jonathan over his shoulder. Carrying him out of the mall while the girls stared in disbelief.

Steve: Pay up Robin. I got TWICE THE NUMBERS ~

Robin: Yeah, yeah. Here dingus! She hands him the 100

Steve: are you guys seriously cuddling without me?

Jonathan: Eddie couldn’t wait so he grabbed me since I was the closest..

Eddie: correction, I grabbed him since he was looking too cute over there on the couch.

Eddie: Pleaseee! Get piercings with mee, Jonny!!

Jonathan: I’m not going to look good..

Eddie: oh come on, sweetheart!! I’ll make Steve pierce his too!

Jonathan: I’m still not—

Eddie: I’ll buy you The Clash and The Smiths merchandise.

*After getting piercings..*

Jonathan: I hate you so much, Eddie..

Eddie: I love you too babe ~

Jonathan: MMPHHH!!

Steve: what the—

*Eddie sees a sticky note on the wrapping, ‘happy Valentine’s Day Dingus!’. The two of them looked down on their ‘Valentine’s Day present’ which was a tied up Jonathan Byers.*

*Eddie looks at him, Steve was trying to figure out how Jonathan wanted to be carried without letting the others know about their relationship.*

Eddie: Hey Jonny ~

*Steve looks confused while Jonathan looks away, embarrassed as his face turns red.*

Jonathan: Hi Eddie..

*Eddie flirts with Jonathan for the next hour while Steve just looks between them, trying to figure out how the two knew each other..*

*Jonathan and Steve was making out while Eddie just watches happily.*
