Summary: “Does it hurt?” Eddie asks.

Steve quirks a brow, shoots him a look that would put Mayfield to shame.

“Okay, yeah. Stupid question,” Eddie says, cracking his beer and taking a swig. “Is it, um, is it bad? Like, do I need to take you to a doctor, or…?”

“No, it’s fine,” Steve sighs. He adjusts the can against his face. “At least it’s not broken this time.”

This time?

Summary: "As soon as he says it the fog starts to lift and that other feeling crashes over him. Fear, the reality of what just happened begins to weigh in. He feels his skin flush. He went into sub-space. For the first time in over a year. In public. In front of a few of his friends and even more strangers. Strangers that hated him. Hell, Eddie barely tolerated him. Eddie. He was looking at him. Shock, confusion, and something else on his expression, maybe pity? He clambers up and rushes past him, towards the door."

Summary: “It’s like he can’t help himself.” She says around a scoop of Double Bubblegum. Eddie always chooses the worst flavours, but that still isn’t going to stop Robin from nibbling away at his complementary banana split. “He’s a compulsive flirter. It’s weird. I’m worried for him.”

“I’m not.” Eddie sighs softly, kind of dreamily, propping his elbow on table and resting his chin on top of his open palm. “It’s special when he flirts with me, though, right?”

“Don’t flatter yourself.” Robin snorts.

Summary: Later, he’ll wonder why he even bothers to talk to the bat. It’s not as if it can understand him. But it’s comforting, he thinks, to hear someone assuring you that everything will be okay even when you’re moments away from death. Sometimes, hope is the only difference between holding on and letting go.

And the bat? It holds on.

Word Count: 5k

Summary: He nearly gets away with it, is the thing. Three sessions in and the kids haven’t realized the BBEG isn’t the tarnished knight with the swooping hair and the stupid dad jokes they groan at every time. They still think the wizard leading them towards imminent destruction is on their side, and as his reluctant hero of an NPC warns them to be wary even Will the Wise rolls his eyes and misses the opportunity for a perception check that barring a Nat 1 would have, at the very least, told them that one of them wasn’t to be trusted.

He’s not even trying that hard to hide the incredibly obvious parallels – the courtship the knight had once had with the sister of Wheeler’s paladin, the reluctant way he continuously steps in when the party gets themselves into a hairy situation, the incredibly obvious boner Eddie has for this stupid character he’s created solely for the purpose of a reveal he both does and does not want them to discover early on.

Summary: "Okay," Eddie says at last, voice betraying his cool demeanor. "I'll go first." He clears his throat, folds his hands politely in his lap. "I have never been more confused in my life than when I'm with you. And I've taken trig three times and I'm still not a hundred percent on what a hypotenuse is, so, like, it's not difficult to confuse me or anything. But you really take the cake, man."

Steve chews on his lip. "Sorry? I'm... confused too."

Steve's soulmate was noisy. It wasn't something he was used to at all, in fact, he remembered hating it as a kid. Then something changed.

Summary: “What’s up then, huh? Harrington?” He starts, those brown eyes looking more irritated than ever, but Steve could see a glimpse of interest on his face.

“I heard you… sell some stuff.”

”Says who?” Eddie cuts him off.

“Words spread around, Munson.” Steve says with a sigh and it makes Eddie crack a smile at him while he leans onto the wall behind him, looking Steve up and down.

“So, rich boy Harrington wants some? That right?”
