working on something else but went to an antique mall today and...well...
980 words | T language | au meetcute pre steddie & buckingham
The old jukebox flips to another song as Eddie winds through the aisles trying to catch a glimpse of a bouncy ponytail. Chrissy had dragged him along to a few different antique malls and he was nearing his capacity.
He was hungry.
He needed caffeine.
He needed a nap.
His attention was captured by someone coming up next to him, “Looking for anything specific?”
Eddie turned to a woman about his height. Choppy light brown bob, freckles, and an eclectic style grabbed his eye, “Yeah, a strawberry blonde about yea high-“ He held his hand to indicate Chrissy’s height, “Flitting around on a mission for lighting fixtures.”
The woman grinned back to him, “I think I can point you in the right direction, I’m Robin, not here to steer you wrong. I work here.”
“Eddie,” He introduced himself, “Unwilling participant in this endless madness for the perfect lamp.”
She hummed in acknowledgment as she gestured for him to follow, which he did like a lost duckling. He recounted the places they’d already been to during the day.
“Don’t bother with Martin’s Market unless you want to be price gouged anyway.” She tossed in as they rounded a corner.
“Really? Are there rivalries in the antique business?” Eddie’s interest was piqued.
Robin snorted, “Honestly? It’s a small community, shit can be brutal, cut throat even.”
She pointed to an entire section of furniture and some of the most beautiful glass light fixtures Eddie had seen all day on this quest. He then saw his petite friend wave at him with an intensity he wasn’t expecting, “Eddie! Where’d you go?! I finally found it!” her voice triumphant as Eddie headed closer, Robin trailing behind.
“The colors tie in the room with the fireplace perfectly.” She said with a note of awe in her voice, “Right? Maybe we can switch out the rug in the honeymoon suite?”
Eddie nodded and cleared his throat, “Chris this is Robin, she works here.”
Chrissy then realized they weren’t alone her lips made a circular shape as she let out a small huff of the word, “oh.”
Eddie saw the blush rise under Robin’s freckles.
Of fucking course Chrissy would fall in love in an antique store.
“Here’s tickets for your finds just place the numbers on what you’d like and come up front for me, or my colleague to get you all set.” She said what was probably her usual spiel a little breathlessly before turning tail and heading to the front.
Eddie raised his eyebrows at Chrissy who was still watching Robin’s retreating form. He poked her in the arm,
“Hey, no need to get handsy.” She reprimanded.
“sure, sure, just wanting to bring you back to reality Chris. The reality that you’re opening a bed and breakfast in two weeks and you’re still decorating.” Eddie contributed.
Chrissy folded her arms and pinned him with a look, “I can be both productive-“ she pointed to the lamp, “and realize I just saw the most attractive woman in this small mountain town.”
Eddie put his hands up, accepting defeat. He let Chrissy win more often than not. It’s how he found himself here about to help open the bed and breakfast with his best friend. The kitchen was his domain and he was all stocked up, ordered, and ready to go.
“We ready, I think this is the most progress we’re making today.” He shook his hair out, the place was stuffy and Eddie was getting crabby.
“Okay you overgrown poodle, head up front let me just glance at the rugs.” Chrissy shooed him off.
Eddie froze once he came back up front. There was a man using a magnifying glass to look at something small in the palm of his hand, a ring. Or maybe a coin?
Eddie couldn’t bring himself to move with the onslaught of swooping copper hair and wire rimmed glasses. Even from this distance Eddie could just tell the man had nice hands.
Chrissy snuck up on him and grabbed his waist causing Eddie to jump and bite off a noisy yelp. The man’s head snapped up as Chrissy whispered, “Edward, see something you like?”
He glared at Chrissy as the man cleared his throat, “Anything I can help you with?”
Chrissy gave Eddie a smug look, “Oh, Eddie was just enjoying some of the one of a kind pieces in the shop. Robin was actually helping me earlier.”
The man’s clear whiskey eyes met his, “Oh? Is that right? Let me go get Robs for ya.”
He went through a backroom door that allowed Eddie to take in the perfect curve of the man’s ass. Chrissy poked him in the ribs, hard.
There was muffled arguing coming from behind the door-
‘Steve, shut up, she’s stunning the fuck am I supposed to do. Be like sorry I’m a mess and even though you’re with your husband wanna go on a date?’
‘Hope it’s not her husband. I’d let him-‘
An audible crash rang out followed by more complaining.
“I think I like antiquing.” Eddie said sheepishly the two exchanging an owl eyed look while they tried not to eavesdrop.
Chrissy gave him a toothy smile as both employees came back out from the back room.
Eddie let out a small cough before walking forward, “Hey handsome.” He placed his ringed fingers on the countertop and pointed to his left ring finger, “Not married.”
He pointed to himself and Chrissy, “We’re new in town, opening a B and B.”
Robin stammered out, “How much did-“ She scrubbed a hand down her face, “Could you hear?”
The other man’s cheeks reddened.
Eddie let his eyes rake over him, “All of it.”
The man, Steve’s, eyes went impossibly wide, “All of it?”
Chrissy stepped forward and smiled softly at Robin, “I do, wanna go on a date, if you’re still askin’.”
Maybe this sleepy town wouldn’t be so dead after all.

Steve Harrington has his full bisexual awakening at the Hideout.
He goes with Tommy and the guys because it's the only bar in Hawkins that doesn't card, but he didn't know they had live music. The band isn't at all to his taste, too loud and too hard, and he quickly tunes it out.
He's two beers in when a familiar succession of notes hits him in a spot right between his ribs.
Magic Man.
Heart was one of his mom's favorite bands. He hasn't listened to them in years.
Steve's surprised that a band like this would even cover them, and he can't help but listen. There's a different guy doing the vocals, voice a low rasp, and when he sings the chorus with the lyrics c'mon home, boy, he said with a smile, something deep in Steve's stomach clenches tight.
The singer he's--fuck, magnificently hot, so hot Steve's brain sort of fuzzes out with it. Long, wild, dark hair that obscures his face. Tight black jeans slung low on his hips, untied boots, a black cropped tee that shows a tantalizing sliver of stomach and the trail of dark hair that disappears into his waistband. Tattoos line his arms and heavy rings cover his fingers.
It's not the first time he's found another guy attractive, but is the first that hits like this, immediate, unavoidable.
Fuck, fuck Steve's getting a semi. That's so embarrassing, just from a guy singing? From making the song a little gay? For fuck's sake.
He can't make himself look away.
The guy's fingers move on his guitar strings, deft and sure and glinting with silver, and Steve is transfixed. Shivers cascade down his spine as the guy leans into the mic, lips brushing the mesh, singing ooh, he' got the magic hands in that voice that hits Steve deep in his gut.
He's hard now. Fully erect. Aching in his acid wash jeans. What the fuck.
And, like, all of this is bad, humiliating--jesus christ, Steve, get a hold of yourself--but then the guitar solo starts. The guitar solo starts, and he guesses he thought the guy singing wouldn't also be doing the solo, but he's wrong. He's so wrong. Because the mind-numbingly hot guy starts fucking shredding, and Steve thinks he might come on the spot.
The guitarist tosses his head back as he plays, hair falling away from his face in a tumbling cascade.
It's Eddie Munson.
Steve popped a boner over Eddie "the Freak" Munson.
He can't even be mad about it because, god, who knew Munson was this gorgeous?
He's standing too close to the small stage now, face flushed, eyes starry, obviously hard, and that's when Munson looks out into the crowd, meets his eyes. Eddie blinks, forehead wrinkling with surprise, but his shock disappears as quickly as he plays. He smirks down at Steve, licks his lips and winks. He doesn't miss a note.
As he finishes the solo, he puts more into the performance, strutting across the stage and rolling his hips against his guitar. There's so little blood in Steve's brain he thinks he might pass out.
The final chorus hits, but nothing can prepare him for the way Eddie looks right at him, sings come on home, boy, he said with a smile; you don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile.
There's so much promise in Eddie's shining eyes and sly smile that Steve's knees go weak.
His dumb friends all take off, give him weird looks when he says he's going to stick around, but he can't be bothered to think up a good excuse. Steve sits at the bar, grabs himself another beer, sips at it until Eddie sidles up next to him, pressing himself too much in Steve's space.
"Buy me a drink, Harrington?" Eddie purrs.
"Anything you want," He promises.

Steve’s drunk and sad at a party and doom-swiping through Tinder when he comes across this profile:
Eddie, 21
guitarist, dm, dipshit, six time ass eating world champ 💪 🌎 my friends call me Eds, but you can call me Daddy
“What the fuck?” Steve laughs to himself. First time he’s really laughed all night, actually; this party kinda blows.
He slinks down further into the couch, takes another sip of hunch punch and tilts his phone so no one sees him swiping right on this shit. It’s obnoxious. Like, objectively. He’s just…
Bored.
And curious. Surely that bio has never actually worked for the guy, right?
Steve swipes.
It’s a match.
He snorts to himself again, sends a message before he can overthink it.
Steve: Hey, Eds. That’s kind of a bold move, isn’t it?
Message sent, he goes to back out of the app; doesn’t really expect an answer this close to midnight on a Saturday night — only losers use Tinder at this time of night, and what the fuck does that make him? — but then Eddie starts typing.
Eddie: hey, cutie :) what is?
Steve: Uhh…
Jesus. Why is he blushing? He’s not the one who wrote a wildly aggressive hookup bio. Guy might as well have sharpied DTF on his forehead.
Steve: Your bio? 🫣
Eddie: huh?
Eddie: i mean, dnd can get a little spicy on occasion but i’d hardly call it scandalous
Steve: What’s that?
Is it a sex thing? It’s probably a sex thing.
Eddie: okay, what?
Steve: What? I’m so confused lol
Eddie must be, too, because it takes him a few seconds to answer, and when he does he just says:
Eddie: hold pls
Steve holds. Takes a big gulp of his drink and winces; pretty much all vodka at the bottom.
Eddie is typing and then he isn’t, then he is again and then he’s not, and Steve frowns at his empty cup and wonders if he’s already fucked up the one interesting thing that’s happened to him all night.
Finally, finally, a new message pops up.
Eddie: ………god. DAMN it, Gareth 😤😤😤😤
