Summary
“Alright,” Eddie says eventually, “Wheeler, your turn. Truth or dare.”
“Truth,” she says, calm as ever.
“Boring,” he drags out, though his eyes narrow just slightly, like he’s already making something up. “Fine, then. Let’s make this interesting, shall we?”
Eddie gets that wicked, mischievous look whenever he’s about to say something unhinged, something he knows he shouldn’t.
And then he moves his gaze past Robin, across Jonathan, until it finally lands on Steve. He grins.
“Okay, Nance,” Eddie says, leaning forward to rest his elbows on his knees. “Confirm or deny something for me real quick.”
Eddie waves a hand in Steve’s direction and smiles sweetly. “You know, there’s been talk. Rumors. Legend. Whispers in the wind. Is Harrington’s oh so famous reputation real —“
Then just little more pointed:
“— or is it all just high school gossip?”or, steve finds out he has a crush on his best friend after a game of truth or dare

Summary
“This,” he said, moving his finger up and down: from Steve’s quiffed up hair down to his striped polo covered by the family video uniform vest. “This is the crisis we are solving today.”
Steve lifted an unimpressed eyebrow at him and crossed his arms. He knew where this was going. “Dustin, no.”
Beside him, Robin looked curiously between the two. “This seems interesting,” she said, smile just as mischievous as Dustin`s. “What is that, again?”
”Steve needs a date.”or: the 5 times Dustin tries to set him up and fails + the one time he doesn’t even have to try

Summary
The first time he hears Dustin and Mike mention the name Eddie Munson he almost walks into a VHS display at work.
Steve wants to ask them how Eddie’s doing but then his face from that last party flashes into his head and he always clams up. If he was Eddie he’d want nothing to do with him and rightly so.
Instead Steve teasingly complains about how much time they spend with Eddie and that’s as far as it goes.

Summary
“Alright, listen. You want to romance Max? It’s easier said than done.” When Lucas’s face falls, Steve is quick to tack on, “But it is doable. There are steps. Six of them.” He spreads his hands theatrically, bending a little at the waist as if setting the scene.

Summary
“Steve, I’ve solved your problem.”
“Huh?”
“I’ve found your dreamboat. Your perfect match, your other half- fits your type to a t. Literally right now, you could walk over and proposition this person to bear your six offspring and sail off into the sunset together in a shitty RV.”
Steve blinks at her bemusedly, and then she points out beyond the pool- where Eddie Munson sits in the grass, smiling lazily as El and little Holly Wheeler adorn him in daisy chains, giggling as he bows to each of them, adjusting his flowery crown.
Steve groans, face in his palms.
“Yeah,” he laughs dryly, “if only Eddie was a chick, huh?”

Summary
Steve Harrington never planned for Eddie Munson.
Steve was supposed to marry his high school sweetheart, have 2.5 children, and take over the family business. He was supposed to live a blissful life on a nondescript cul-de-sac, complete with a white picket fence and a closet full of tasteful polo shirts. He was supposed to make a graceful transition between being the golden boy and being the American Dream.
Mediocrity was what destiny had designed for Steve. Reality had other plans.
(Or, Steve and Eddie, against all odds, fall in love)
