have any more steddisy thoughts? being a steddisy shipper is rough 😔
oh always!!! I love the idea of them all essentially living in Steve's house over the summer. My fave dynamic for steddissy is hellcheer dating and Steve slowly, very confusedly becoming part of their relationship. I've been thinking about the little pockets of time that they would have overlapping. For example: Chrissy falls asleep the earliest out of all of them, usually on the couch after a long shift at a sales counter followed by catching the evening sun. So Eddie carries her to bed (this is not very smooth. she almost drops out of his arms a couple of times and steve is definitely swearing at him and following them up the stairs with his arms out as a spotter). So then Eddie and Steve climb up on the roof to share a spliff and talk.
But then Steve is an early riser (he has trouble sleeping) so he's up in the smaller hours, maybe getting ready for work alongside Chrissy. They share a coffee together and he makes them a quick breakfast, and then Steve drops Chrissy at work and everyone Chrissy works with thinks they're dating.
I just think like. Chrissy is at work so Steve is Eddie's passenger princess for a drug deal on the way to grocery store to pick up more marshmallows for the bonfire they're gonna have that night. Chrissy comes home to Eddie and Steve covered in grease and fixing some weird noise that Eddie's van is making.
Chrissy and Eddie having whispered midnight conversations that somehow always lead to Steve. Eddie very tenderly confessing his attraction to Steve and Chrissy in return confessing the first crush she ever had on a girl in middleschool. Just like. Eddie figuring out why he wants to be in Steve's space all the time and Steve leaning away from him less and less. Um. Hot days in the pool and making each other laugh and sharing clothes. Chrissy in her little green bikini waiting until Eddie goes inside for something and turning to Steve with the sunscreen and a sweet little "could you please get my back?" and Steve falling harder every day for both of them and refusing to examine his own feelings.
