regarding your eddie headcanons: YES! I'm also convinced he's neurodivergent and fails his classes not bc he's dumb or uninterested but bc he has trouble focusing.

And what you said about him being a cuddly person... I can totally see that, but I also get the feeling that he hasn't got a lot of people he's physically close with. So he's probably really touch starved and holds himself when he's upset :(

Lastly, I also think he probably has abandonment issues. We don't know what happened with his parents yet, but I'm sure whatever it was left its scars.

This is definitely how I’ve been picturing the other, and I can’t help but gush about how I know Steve would be there to help the other out. Like he’s clearly a dumbass and not completely piecing together what the other needed but he’s just there with the other. That and also the kids, seem to even take a more of a liking to to him)

At first the group used to talk or Joke about how Eddie clearly wasn’t graduating anytime soon. Steve never said much about it but he was secretly hoping the other boy would making it through this year so that the two of them could be in the same yearbook. One last time. Though it hasn’t looked promising when he switches his classes and ends up in a few of Eddie’s.

The boy seemed to be like a energy ball that couldn’t be contained. Something on him was constantly bouncing, one of his hands was constantly messing with something, and his eyes were there but it didn’t seem like he was really processing what was going on. At first Steve figured it might be because the other boy was still in shock about everything. But that didn’t seem to be the issue as Eddie snapped out of it when Steve sat down next to him and gave him the hugest grin there is.

“Oh look at this! What have I done to deserve your time and lovely throne near me- King Steve.” He teases with a smirk. Watching the other very carefully as Steve raises a eyebrow. His eyes going down to the others black nails, which if he was honest- was totally badass.

“It was the last seat Munson.” Steve snorts a little before adding, “That and you looked like what a earthquake would be like in human form, kind of hard not to catch someone’s attention when you’re moving all around.” He says amused as he looks down at the paper he was handed. The thing was he wasn’t being mean about it. Though Eddie truthfully couldn’t tell and was about to say something as the Teacher announced partners. Of course he was with Steve.

Steve looks down at the paper reading it in one go as he pulls his desk closer to the other so they could talk more in private. When he finishes he can tell that Eddies attempting to read the paper but it seemed like the amount of chatter going on seemed to be distracting him. Steve hadn’t seen anything like this is anyone before so he was really curious. He gives the boy a minute before moving his hand patting the others arm.

“Here I can read it for you if you want?” Steve offers calmly looking at the other to see if it was okay. Eddie had this frustrated look on his face but just grumbles a little bit about how he hoped that this was going to be his year.

Steve lets the other be for a second before he starts reading off the others paper word for word. Eddie moving to give him all of his attention not wanting to admit that the others voice was smooth and not to rough that it hurt his ears or overwhelmed him like the teachers or everyone else’s.

And that’s how it starts, by times the end of the class is over Eddie feels proud for getting something done and hands it in to the teacher who looks shocked his writing was eligible let alone even on the paper. “Good job Munson, whatever you did this period you should start doing that with more of your classes.” The teacher says as Eddie blushes a bit. He was sort of upset about this comment but pushes himself out of the class before he ripped her head off.

Oblivious Steve was unaware of how upset the other was as he runs up to Eddie after a second holding the homework l. “Hey, do you want to work on the homework with me later?” He asks curious.

“Steve, don’t patronize me. I’m not some stupid charity case that needs help with school.” Eddie snaps as Steve raises his hands up defensively noticing how close they were. He has always noticed how the other was never aware of personal space. Not that he minded, he would take that over being beat up.

“Um- what are you on about Eddie? I thought we could get the homework done after school while we wait for the Dustin and the other kids to get done with detention. Unless you canceled your DND session- but either way I really need your help on question five. I don’t know what half the words mean and you’re a geek of sorts.” Steve rambles out as he wasn’t sure what the other wanted.

Eddie makes a oh face as he realizes the other was babying him like some people had tried doing in the past. Majority of them were girls though that thought they could ‘change’ his freak ways.

“I- oh yeah we can do that.” Eddie says softly acting a lot less defensive then before as Steve gives him a smile.

“Ok, we’ll then see you after school.” Steve says with a friendly smile leaving the other shocked behind him. No matter how much time passes Eddie’s sure he’s never going to get used to the fact that Asshole King Steve is one of the nicest people he’s ever met.

True to his words, and five minutes late Steve finally meets Eddie in the DnD room. Eddie was already upset because his anxiety started to kick up when the crowded hallways got worse during last period. Unlike others, everyone was racing to leave. So he just kept his arms wrapped around himself as he sits looking at the DND map. His homework was already out and on the table but he has barely even read anything. All the words were blurring together and his brain couldn’t function.

Steve’s entering the room, and apparently it had started to storm out as a loud clash of thunder hit right as the door closes shut and Steve’s jumping accidentally dropping his stuff his go to reaction to cover his ears. Breathing a little heavy as he disappears for a second but comes back to reality as he looks startled when he sees Eddie’s concerned look.

Quickly picking up his bag he scurry’s over sitting down shaking a little bit. As he focuses on catching his breath. After everything with the Russians, he’s noticed that he’s more sensitive to things. For one, he got hit in the head way to many times to count that his ears were starting to get effected by it. Everything coming in louder then what it’s supposed too. That and he’s always been nervous around thunder. When he was younger it had reminded him of his Father who yelled very loud when he was pissed.

Eddie raises a eyebrow, “you cool Harrington?” He asks. Unlike the other he had found that storms and the rain were very calming for him. Though to be fair he listens to metal music to fall asleep. That should already show how different the two are. He was no longer hugging himself and honestly he didn’t think he recognized the Steve in front of him.

He had grown used to the fearless Steve who stood tall and fought everything to protect everyone with out hesitation. He went swimming in the middle of the fucking lake risking his life for gods sake. This honestly took Eddie by surprise the other didn’t like thunder. He figured the other would enjoy storms, but his hunch was wrong.

“Yeah- just um. Yeah?” Steve stutters awkwardly really unsure what to say embarrassed that he was being seen like this. Eddie catches the hint and drops it before seeing the other jump out of his skin when another boom hits.

Eddie can’t help but feel responsible for this scarred puppy like boy. Huffing to himself because he knew he was going to regret it he moves dragging Steve and his chair closer to him. There was barely any room between them now and Steve wasn’t really focused on that. More of the loud noises coming from outside.

“Ok, Harrington.” Eddie starts trying to distract the other but the other was off in la la land again. Eddie understood, he had been doing the same on and off sense everything went down. Though he never thought he would see Steve have the same problem. He had seemed so used to it and now Eddie recognized how the other bullshitted. To be fair Eddie does the same.

Eddie sighs figuring the homework is going to be forgotten as he moves and pulls the shaking boy over manhandling him to his lap. He can’t help but laugh a little, “Welcome to my throne King Steve. If I ever see you sitting in my seat ever again I’ll kill you.” He jokes as he hears Steve snapping back to reality looking confused.

“Why the hell am I in your lap?” Steve asks blushing trying to get out. He knew how bad he was when he starteed to cuddle someone in anyway. He got attached and then really weird. Sure he didn’t really mind Eddie, but he didn’t think he was close enough to him to throw away all of the stereotypical guy rules.

“You were shaking and not responding so I snatched you.” Eddie shrugs as one of his ringed filled hands holds the others hip looking at the other amused. He enjoyed making Steve flustered it was a funny thing to watch. Though it’s forgotten as Steve jumps again shaking worse as he covers his ears. The thunder was to loud for him. Eddie bites his lip as he pulls off his leather coat and wraps it around the other to help make him feel secure as he pulls him to his chest. Squeezing his arms around the other.

“Eddie, you really don’t know personal space do you?” Steve teases as Eddie chuckles.

“Nope. Though to be fair you look like you’re on the verge of a panic attack and I know being coddled pretty much helps me calm down.” Eddie shrugs trying to act like this was no big deal. In a way he still didn’t understand some of the society norms or social cues.

Steve jumps once more as he’s pretty much forcing himself further into the others chest. He was also very exhausted. He had problems sleeping to begin with and he knew he was going to fall asleep on this guy who’s probably going to go around school telling everyone Steve Harrington’s the hugest gay out there.

Staying bundled up Steve finds his face buried in the others shoulder and hair as he falls asleep gripping onto the others leather jacket around him for dear life.

Ok so this isn’t my favorite I’m running off from no sleep but majority of the ideas here make sense to me though I can’t picture Eddie forcing Steve to cuddle with him to calm his anxiety down. But you know what who cares right now I don’t 😭 but honestly out of Steve and Eddie I feel like Steve would have the worst abandonment issues. (Like Dustin leaving for camp was probably the worst thing he could’ve thought of in season three) though I do plan on writing more. I’m better at writing small fanfictions not one shots so I’m still getting my strength up with that lol. Plus I feel like all of these ideas about Eddie I’m going to use in a fanfiction when I come up with a plot lol
