stranger things? no that’s the eddie munson show

Imagining they’ve hooked up a few times and Steve asking so so nervously if they’re exclusive. It’s so cute and sad everyone join me

Steve complaining about his lack of dates. Eddie’s like boohoo man I’m gay there’s no opportunity for hookups here I’ve been in a drought for years. To which Steve responds “I can fix that”

“Honestly dude it sounds like we’re experiencing the same problem. 😘”

Steve, mentally: That’s the smoothest way I’ve ever asked anyone out fuck yeah

Was thinking that we've sorta watched Steve have a little journey with food onscreen. he gives away his food at lunch to Tommy and Carol in s1, he awkwardly eats a chicken dinner at the Hollands (which symbolically was performative) in s2, pointedly tells Dustin that eating ice cream wasn't a good idea for him so he could 'keep in shape for the ladies' in s3 and was excited about food only when he was drugged, he happily and quietly snacks in the back of the station wagon in s4, and then very loudly and gleefully indulges in Boppers in s5. Anyway, I'm probably reading too much into little background moments but it feels like we watched him grow to enjoy himself. Good for him.

If I ever do write the Single Dads AU. They meet when Max wanders off in Walmart while Steve’s distracted at the pharmacy getting medicine for her cold. And she runs into Eddie and Dustin and they sit with her and Eddie’s thinking “wow this poor kid her dad doesn’t pay attention”. And then he shows up and he’s SO panicked and SO hot
