Been having this ping pong around my head for awhile soโ
Steve and Eddie who barely interact post vecna, but the kids want to throw a surprise party for Steveโs birthday and Robinโs busy helping them set up and Nancy canโt hang out all day with Steve that would be uncomfortable after the whole 6 kids conversations and-
So yeah Eddie needs to hang out with Steve all day which already puts Eddie on edge because yeah this guy with the wet eyes who carried Eddie out of literal hell deserves a nice surprise, but what are they supposed to DO all day until Henderson calls and lets him know itโs ok to head back to Steveโs? go to the arcade?? Play *shudders* a sport together
So a pizza, 3 beers, and 2 movies, and half a joint later, Eddie is running out of ways to keep Steve occupied and is kinda freaking out about it and Steve has sensed that anxious energy since he got there and assumes Eddie was trying to be nice to Steve on his birthday by having him over for pizza but clearly doesnโt actually want Steve around so actually he will just go now thanks for having me over and -oh? A tour of your roomโฆok?
Eddie is trying to find anything in his room to distract Steve but the more frantic and more over the top the more on edge and annoyed it makes Steve and when Steve tries to leave again Eddie just fucking wrestles Steve and in a act of desperation handcuffs Steve to his bed frame and for a minute Eddie is very proud of himself for finally finding a way to get Steve to stay before realizing what he just did
They both are just staring at each other tangled up in eddies bed in disbelief that Eddie just handcuffed him to the bed
