Sicktember Day 5 - Great, Now I Have Your Germs All Over Me - Steddie - Streamer AU

Animal Crossing isn’t usually Eddie’s cup of tea. He prefers Dead by Daylight, Outlast, Dying Light. Hell, he’ll even get into some Skyrim or Fallout. But Animal Crossing? It’s not his cup of tea. 

He thinks some of the little guys are fun- Roald’s cute and Fauna reminds him of Chrissy. But he just can’t get into it the way it seems Steve, Robin, and Chrissy all have. Even Nancy, who always surprises him when she agrees to play Friday the 13th, likes it. Traitor. 

Today though, Steve is sick with a hell of a cold, and when he asks if Eddie will play Animal Crossing so he can sit and make commentary, the long haired man can’t say no. The poor guy is pink nosed and bleary eyed, voice congested and raspy, and he knows that Steve just wants to be close, without making Eddie cancel his usual streaming time. 

“You sure you’re up for this killer?” 

“Uhh-huh, just wanna watch you play,” Steve sniffles into the cuff of his sleeve, rubbing his nose. 

“Uhh-huh, just wanna watch you play,” Steve sniffles into the cuff of his sleeve, rubbing his nose. 

Nodding, Eddie starts everything up and Steve uses his phone to put a tweet and Instagram story out that links people to his stream. As people start hopping on, and the chat starts flowing, Eddie pops in his left ear bud, still wanting to be able to hear Steve. 

“Hey guys, switching it up today. Not my usual gaming choice, but Stevie here-” Eddie leans to drop a kiss to his boyfriend's head. “-is feeling pretty shitty today, and he requested this.” 

JanieLyssa27: Awww that’s so sweet! 

CrimsonTide4Eva: Whipped

BackNBlackkk: You guys are so cute #steddie 

Sourpunchloser: I like Munsington 

Eddie laughs, shaking his head. “Munsington sounds like a disease.” 

Steve snorts at that, turning to cough away from the mic Eddie has set up. Even the cough alone has a bunch of people commenting on how cute Steve is, or telling him to get better. 

“I stream on my channel and yet everyone just cares about you. I’m offended,” he teases his boyfriend, who’s sniffling. 

“Yeah, well, it’s because I’m cuter,” Steve grins, giving him a scrunched up, innocent face. 

PeachyPear: Steve’s the embodiment of *sad eye emoji*

BoyRobot: get maRRIED ALREADY

Genderman9: Dude why is Eddie playing AC? Have we entered a new dimension? 

“I’m playing because I can do whatever I want,” he shoots back, though it’s playful with no heat behind the words. 

Eddie can hear his boyfriend next to him, fighting off one of the many fits this cold has been bringing him. Even in the small screen in the corner, he can see Steve rubbing at his nose, eyes fluttering. 

“Guys, fair warning, he’s pretty loud,” Eddie says quickly, just as Steve turns. 

“ehHHISHHHEW! EHGKSHHhuh!” 

It takes a second for both men to realize that Steve’s turned towards Eddie, not away, mostly just desperate not to sneeze directly into the mic and burst someone’s eardrums. Scrunching just nose, the older of the two hands Steve a tissue and then narrows his eyes playfully. 

“Great, now I have your germs all over me.” 

“You’ve had them all over you since yesterday. I also recall you telling me you didn’t care if you kissed me because you would rather get my germs than anyone else’s.” 

“Steve! We’re still…Jesus,” Eddie blushes, jerking his head toward the still streaming camera.

“Oh, uh. Sorry. Sorry guys! Forgo-EISHUHEW! h’TSCHHEW!” 

Once again, Eddie’s on the receiving end. 

“Bless you baby.” He presses a hand to Steve’s forehead. 

The chat blows up, mostly people blessing Steve, others speculating at how kinky Eddie might be, and a few just saying that the whole display was gross. 

“I’m kinky, but I don’t know about being sneezed on. I’ll have to think about it, I guess,” Eddie jokes, going back to the game. "If I get sick guys, this is why. Kid has no respect for me."

The long haired man starts roaming around his house, setting a chainsaw onto a table near his little racecar bed.

"Is that a chainsaw in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" Steve snuffles thickly, letting out a couple of shallow coughs into his sleeve.

Snorting, Eddie rolls his eyes.

LemonBoy: Damn, Steve coming in hot today

JuliusCeazer: NOICE

purpletotoro: im eight and have a basketball game tomorrow what that mean.

calicrazyf0cker: sneezing can be hot, steve's face right before is sexy af.

Eyes continuously going back and forth from the chat to the game, the twenty six year old then glances at Steve, who's already gearing up for another few sneezes. It is kind of hot, watching him struggle, eyes fluttering as the guy rubs at his overly pink nose. Shifting, he clears his throat.

"Shout out to Jenna," he says to the basketball reference.

"EIHKSHH! HIHeiSHuEW!"

"Bless you," Eddie murmurs, one hand squeezing Steve's knee before going back, working on finding Aurora, so he can give her a flower he found. "Aurora is the best villager, and no, you can't change my mind, she's obviously the most adorable."

Steve sniffles and coughs again, rubbing his face as he leans back into his chair with his mouth parted enough he can breathe. Eddie plays for a solid hour, realizing when a few people start asking, that his boyfriends fallen asleep. Oh he's going to get so much shit for this the next time he streams, the musician thinks, smirking.

"Alright kiddos," Eddie decides after an hour. "As much as I'd love to continue, I think the prince here needs to actually lay down so he doesn't hurt his neck. I might be back on later, but for now, Auf Wiedersehen."

Looking for a fic.

Kay so I read this one R76 fic and I can't remember the name for the life of me. The whole theme was that most of the Overwatch cast were streamers playing OW, and they all played w/ each other but Gabe never showed his face. Jack n' Gabe hate-flirted on Twitter and I very specifically remember Gabe's name being Backnblack (why well idk). Anyway, if any of you know what fanfic this is, please tell.

Ps. I'm new to Tumblr so if I'm doing anything wrong just tell me.

[dontfeeltoohot]

for the streamer AU, i’d love something where eddie is having a bad allergy day—nothing crazy, just super itchy—and his fans jokingly count his sneezes because they know there’s gonna be a ton. maybe steve is yelling bless you every now and then from the next room, too

“Fuck, hh! hold o-on…” Eddie moves backwards from his mic that’s sitting in front of him on his desk, eyes fluttering shut.

“hihHKgTshh’ew! ihGIhShhEW!” The long haired man stays frozen. “Sorry, I c-cahhn feel ‘nother…iiHGkTschhh’EW!”

Yanking a tissue from the box to his right, he blows his nose quietly, wincing at the wet noise is produces. He grabs another one and uses it to rub at his nose one handed, using the other to go back to his game.

Bless you!

Thanks for not sneezing into the mic like Steve does 🙄

Bless u

Are you sick?

Eddie chuckles and shakes his head, game starting back. He’s decided to try his hand at Kingdom Hearts 3, a series he used to love playing as a child. The tissue is still crumpled in his hands as he moves Sora around.

“Nope, not sick, that’s Steve’s job. My allergies are just bad in the fall,” he explains, sniffling quietly. As he moves Sora through the toy store, working on killing the heartless, his nostrils twitch and he rubs his face on his shoulder, not wanting to stop. As he defeats the last of the many black figures, it cuts to Rex and Sora.

The curly haired man takes the opportunity to rub at his nose for a moment, then grab a tissue, pressing it tight to his face.

“hhIGkTSch’ew! hihEhGKshEW! IhKSHhh! Fuck,” he blows his nose again, pinching his nostrils and jiggling his septum in hopes to make this ridiculously allergic tickle go away. It’s no use.

“ahHgkSHHEW! iiGKkshUHEW! ihNGkshh’ew!”

“Bless you!”

The voice comes from the hallway, where Eddie knows Steve is doing laundry two doors down. He sniffles and blows his nose.

“Tha’gks!”

Was that Steve? You guys are so cute!

You should play more horror.

Aww Steve is so sweet! Can I borrow him? I need a Steve. Bless you! You’re sneezes are so cute.

That’s 9 on the sneeze count so far

Eddie rolls his eyes at the comments, nose already twitching again. His eyes are getting itchy too, from all the shit in the air, even with their air purifier in the room. He rubs at his left eye, aiming his face down towards his lap.

“hihIGKshhEW!”

10!

Bless you!

Dude maybe u need allergy pills or something

“I take meds, just having a bad day,” he shrugs, nose running as he watches the scene end and he goes back to playing.

Halfway through running back towards the large tower that allows him to go up or down floors, his nose demands his attention again. An annoyed noise escapes Eddie’s throat, and he quickly rubs up against his nose with the palm of his hand, which helps for .002 seconds.

“Jesus Chrihhst- IHKSHEW! hh! Oh m-my gohhhd- snfSNF!”

Setting the controller down, he notices people are still counting his sneezes, which really he shouldn’t be surprised about, but it makes him feel vaguely self conscious all the same. Blowing his nose again, Eddie’s halfway to picking up his controller when-

“ihGIhkshew! hihKTshhh! igHHkshew! snfsnf! aikshhEW!”

15, a new record!

Lol he’s bad today

Guys follow me for great gameplays!

“You okay Eds?” Steve walks in, making Eddie look up.

Eyes watery and red rimmed, nose pink and runny, he shrugs and blows his nose. It almost makes the tickle worse, like it’s just irritating the walls of his already sensitive nostrils. His breath hitches yet again.

“ah’IKSHew! Oh my fucki’g god,” even the man himself can hear how congested he is, and both of them wince.

“I think it’s time for a break. You can stream later.”

Eddie scrubs at his nose, then rubs it in tiny, controlled circles, trying to get at the itch. The sound makes Steve wrinkle his own nose.

“Guess you guys heard Steve, I’ll uh…I’ll strea’b agai’d later,” the gamer gives a soupy sniffle and clicks off.

Byeee

Feel better!

Do a better game later!

16 sneezes. Poor guy. How does someone make their sneezes so hot???

#my fic #prompts #asks #st #em #sh #streamerau

[softsnzstuff]

StreamerAU Eddie does like a giveaway and whoever wins it gets a FaceTime call with him and Chrissy? They’re streamer friends, he’s dating Steve, but she’s still sweet to bless his sneezes every time and hand him tissues as needed. Can be sick or just a bad allergy day 😊

“Hi everyone!!” A high pitch voice yelled excitedly. “Just waiting for Eddie - what else is new?”

Oh my god

Of course we are LOL

Always fashionably late

Chrissy laughed as her screen shifted, Eddie’s big brown eyes popping into view.

“Hey Chris! Sorry I’m late. Steve and I went to the park and just got back.” He looked directly at his camera teasingly, “what’s up losers?”

“Behave!” Chrissy laughed. She and Eddie met at school but had been inseparable once they started streaming together. Something about their witty banter and sibling-esque relationship really set the fans off.

“So there’s no game stream today. I know, I know, lame right? Wrong!” Eddie was back at the dramatics, a characteristic Chrissy loved about him.

“Eddie and I actually have an announcement to make!”

Immediately, the chat started to go crazy:

They’re dating omg omg

No they aren’t shut up!!

Maybe they’re doing a partner channel??

Eddie and Chrissy both cackled reading the reactions. “Oh my god guys, you KNOW we aren’t dating. I’m a Steve guy. Huh babe?”

Eddie turned over his shoulder revealing Steve lounging on the couch on the other side of the room. Eddie whipped back towards the camera after a muffled response came. Eddie scrunched his nose spoke into the microphone, “you can’t hear him but he says yes.”

“Hi Steve!” Chrissy waved enthusiastically.

A slightly more audible, “Hi Chris.” Came through the stream.

“Anyways. Do you want to tell them what the special announcement is, Eddie?”

“Yeah!! So snFF we decided to do a gihh H’aktCHIEW! H’NGtschEW! TschEW!”

Bless you!

Uh oh, don’t start…

How does he make something as simple as sneezing look cute??

“Bless you!” Chrissy watched as her friend held up a finger and turned away from the camera, moving his mic out of the way. He steepled into his arm.

“snf SNFF GT’schIEW! hehh H’itsch’EW!”

“Bless you times two!” Chrissy chimed.

That’s five

Good lord

You okay there Eddie?

“snF, sorry the park m’bust’ve set off m’by allergies.”

“That’s okay! I’ll tell them what’s up!”

Eddie have a thumbs up and muted himself as he pulled som tissues from the box Steve was holding out to him and blew his nose.

“Eddie and I are doing a giveaway!! Whoever wins will get a short discord call with me and Eddie, and honestly probably a guest appearance from Steve.”

OH MY GOD ILL DIE

stfu what’s the contest???

I am UNWELL 😩

“We haven’t decided just yet what we want to do as our contest, we have a few ideas floating around at the moment. Heck, maybe who can guess the number of times Eddie sneezes in a stream.”

Eddie unmuted himself momentarily and leaned into the camera, “N’dot fu’ddy.”

“Fuddy? No, but I thought it was hilarious.” Chrissy imitated Eddie’s stuffy nose and he rolled his eyes.

“Prombise I won’t be this s’deezy on the phone call with whoever wins.”

Take your allergy pill sir

I mean if I’m on the phone with THE Banished, idgaf if he’s sneezy or not

There was a murmur from Steve. Chrissy squinted, unable to make out what the other man said.

“What did Steve say?” She asked.

Eddie shot Steve a glare, the younger man was laughing. Very unamused, Eddie said, “Steve told mbe to not make prombises I ca’t keep.”

Sicktember Day 8 - Intense Coddling Alt.1 Soft Pajamas - Steddie - Streamer AU

After streaming for over two years, long-time followers of Eddie (and Steve, Robin, Nancy and Chrissy) are aware of what it means when Eddie appears on screen wearing his old, well loved pajama pants. They’re nothing special, some grey ‘roots’ sweatpants that have become worn thin and thread bare on the inside. Usually, the pants get paired with one of Wayne’s old tees he’d given Eddie, a bright red ‘Bachman Turner Overdrive’ one that’s got more than a few holes throughout. 

Starting his stream, he’s got his headphones on and his right leg pulled up to his chest as he sits in his black Razer chair. He’s been feeling run down all day, in a way that has that foreboding feeling of getting sick. His throat’s not exactly sore, but it’s not perfect either. His body feels uncomfortable and his skin feels sensitive, even a few sneezes and the sniffles have started making an appearance as the day has progressed. Though he’s not in the most energetic mood, he doesn’t want to skip streaming, and he’s somehow still in the mood to play a little something. 

Oh shit, it's the pants! 

Damn dude hope you play a good game this time 

What do the pants mean guys

Watching the comments, he laughs a little, able to tell which fans have been with him longer. Eddie rubs his face, waiting for others to join as he fiddles with his controller, going through options on the game's home screen. After another minute, he coughs and takes a sip of his water, then starts once he sees a good amount of people. 

“Hey guys, thought we could play some Skyrim tonight. Not sure how long I’ll be on, probably shorter than usual, but wanted to at least a little streaming in,” he explains, shivering a little. 

He and Steve keep the air cold in their house, and while usually it feels good, today it’s only making the twenty six year old feel freezing. He rubs his face again, a tic that happens often when he’s sick, and leans back, clicking through options.

Shit, sweatpants and a colored tee? Hope you’re not dying! 

Red looks good on you! 😍

Okaaaay boy, work it! 

Anyone else think they’ve gone into an alternate dimension? 

“Yeah yeah, give me shit about a red shirt,” Eddie says once his headset is back on. His voice isn’t as loud or vibrant as it usually is. “It’s my uncle’s, so be nice or he’ll come for you.” 

Are you and ur uncle close? 

Ugh. Uncle needs better taste. Looks like a tomato. 

Skyrim? I vote Dead by Daylight, way more fun. 

Eddie sniffles and chuckles, reading the chat. He’s always entertained when people try to figure out his life. Many have tried, and no one has succeeded. If they just googled ‘Michigan’ and ‘Munson wife murder’ they’d figure everything out. 

“We’re doing Skyrim, sorry. It’s not as intense as Dead by Daylight and I don’t feel like trying to kill a bunch of zombies right now,” the long haired man explains, clicking through to his last save point. “To catch anyone up, my guy is a dark elf. Got attacked by a vampire last time I played, so that’s cool, but it sucks because the sun weakens the fuck out of me.” 

As he runs through the hall of the dead, Eddie feels a throb in the base of his skull, making him groan and blink hard. Half an hour in, as he attempts to kill Eola, his nose twitches, and the guitarist can feel that coldish feeling in his head start to make its presence known again. He tries to strike, but his eyes flutter shut, and he just barely manages to pause and move his headset mic away, turning and pressing his face against his shoulder. 

“iiHKgTschew! hiKGshh’EW! hhikSHhew! Jesus Christ, sorry guys,” Eddie wipes at his nose and clears his throat, feeling congestion start to settle in against the front of his head. 

Bless you! 

Awww they’re so high pitched at the end stahp *u* 

watch out because if you don’t kill her now villagers will try to kill you

F4f? 

SWEATPANTS!!! 

“Great, hostile villagers,” Eddie deadpans, shifting his position so his other leg is now the one raised. “If I can’t beat her this time I’m going to leave and find somewhere else,” he adds, swinging his sword again. 

After being killed and respawning, Eddie heads out of the area, not bothering with the annoyance of the woman again. As he wanders, he runs past a few people he doesn’t feel like possibly picking a fight with, toggling over to the map. He’s starting to feel worse, as the time ticks by, trying to smother a few more sets of sneezes away from his mic. Congestion only thickens as he talks, and by the time he’s hit almost ninety minutes of streaming, people are commenting on it. 

I think your mic is fucking with your voice. 

You sound like shit. Are you sick? 

Of course he’s sick, he only wears those pants when he’s sick. 

“Do I really only wear these pants when I’m sick?” Eddie feels curious about it. He’s sure it’s true, since so many fans notice tiny details about him. 

“You guys caught me, I guess. Not feeling my best tonight, think I’m probably coming down with a little something.” 

A few minutes later, Eddie hears his door open. Steve walks in, carrying a smoothie from Smoothie King. Eddie pauses and smiles up at him, rubbing his face. 

“God, people were right, you do look sick,” Steve worries gently, pressing a hand to Eddie’s forehead. 

“Feels a little warm. I got you a smoothie, and I can make you toast if you want.” 

Omfg STEVE HI 

Love you Steve Harrington! 

Steddie forever! What does he think of you wearing colors?!

Omg omg omg they’re too cute. I wish I had a Steve. 

“Tha’gks baby,” Eddie smiles up at him, taking the drink and sipping it. It feels good on his throat, his lymph nodes in his neck starting to ache. 

“Of course. God I love that shirt on you, you should wear it more often.” 

“Nah, red’s not my color. Already go’tden shit for it on here,” he sniffles soupily, coughing into his wrist. 

Steve snorts and shakes his head, running a hand through his boyfriend's hair.

“Take a break soon, you need to rest.” 

“God you’re such a mother hen. I will in li’gke ten minutes,” Eddie coughs and rubs his eyes. “Sorry guys,” he turns back around, starting the game up again. 

What flavor smoothie? 

Ew smoothie king is nasty it’s all sugar 

Can Steve stay?

“The berry one, I ca’dt remember the name, sorry. A’d no, he’s got work stuff I thi’gk.” 

By the time he’s turned off the stream and uploaded it to YouTube- ‘Skyrim + Fever = Boring Exploring’, Eddie heads to find his boyfriend, feeling definitely worse than he has been. The other man is scrolling through Twitter? or maybe Tumblr while he sits on the couch, Parks and Rec on. 

“Ok, I mighdt need to head to bed early,” the long haired man informs, plopping down next to Steve and pressing his face on his shoulder, head aching. 

“Let’s get you into bed, Eeyore.”

cat allergy steve for streamer au??

Steve rubs at his eyes, vision blurring slightly as he tries to watch the screen, Playstation controller in hand. They're at Chrissy's apartment, the only of the five friends to have a cat, which of course, Steve is allergic to. He sniffles thickly, no doubt making more than a few people tuning into the live stream wince as it reverberates through his headset mic. He doesn't have time to mute it or pull away before-

"eiKSHhUH! heMPTCHhuh!"

HOLY SHIT

Bro warn a guy next time

rip to my ears

Bless you Steve!

Chrissy and Robin chuckle from behind him, while Nancy frowns and Eddie just ignores him, used to the sheer volume of his boyfriends sneezes. For his part, Steve rubs at his nose with his wrist and continues playing, shooting a rocket at another player in Fortnite with Nancy by his side. Eyes itching, he stops for a second, his character behind a bush as he sniffles and rubs at his left eye with the heel of his hand.

"Stop it Stevie, it'll only make it worse," Eddie sighs, shaking his head. "Chris, thought I told you to put Elle up."

"I did! She just...kind of loves to curl up next to me when I play," Chrissy admits with sympathetic eyes.

"So what you're saying is she likes to- snf! SNF! lay in the chair I'm sitting in," Steve grumbles, knowing there's hair all around him. It makes his nose twitch.

".....maybe."

Damn, pour one out for Steve

Take a pill dude

Or maybe move?? So we're not deaf by the end of the stream?

Guys he can't help it, be nice! His sneezes are cute!

"eiGKSHHuhEW! hehEISHHuh!"

"Okay dingus, switch spots," Robin shakes her head and grabs his arm, pulling him up. He effectively gets killed.

"Thanks so much Robin."

Probably steamer or YouTuber au! I really like them both, especially the streamer stuff

Ok, I've had this idea in my head for a while now. Finally got it finished. Have 4.1k of the Fruity Four at a meet up with Eddie coming down with a cold. Features grumpy, sick Eddie accidentally taking how he feels out on Steve and Nancy. Oops. Also, bonus tweets from them at the end. Enjoy!

XXX

"Come on Eds, Rob, Nance and Chrissy will be here in thirty," Steve calls from the bathroom, where he's brushing his teeth.

Eddie, from under their beds covers, groans. They're supposed to be going to the mall to promote the new Microsoft store opening, be there to hang with some fans and try out the new stuff Microsoft's recently dropped. He's been excited; even if he fully thinks Razer is superior to all other brands, but waking up fifteen minutes ago with a stuffy head and sore throat is making him want to do nothing but stay in bed all day.

Hearing the faucet turn off, Eddie sniffles and waits for the inevitable. Sure enough, twelve seconds later the blankets are being pulled off of his shivery form, revealing Steve, standing there with an eyebrow raised. 

“Eddie, babe, you really need to get up.” 

“Ugh, fine,” the musician grumbles and rubs at his nose with his wrist, wincing as he swallows and his throat stings. 

Standing, Eddie blinks and heads to the bathroom to pee, wash his hands and brush his teeth. Some mornings he’ll eat, but today the thought of food is unappealing. Looking over, Steve’s wearing jeans and one of his favorite rugby style shirts, his hair falling perfectly like always. 

“Is this supposed to be a nice thing?” Eddie asks as he walks out, sniffling again when he feels congestion shift in his head. 

“Nah, casual I’m pretty sure. That or I’m going to get shit,” Steve jokes with a smile. 

Sometimes Eddie wonders who he must have pleased in the universe to make Steve Harrington want to date him. Steve, who’s so handsome and popular and wants to make everyone happy. Steve, who somehow loves Eddie despite his occasional grumpiness, his extreme energy and dramatics, his love for all things horror and metal music. They’re opposites in all the good ways, and they mesh well. Maybe the universe can be right about things. 

“Okay, cool. Think the fans will say something if I wear my striped shirt agai-hh! iiHGKtSCHew! hihGhhKSHew! h’IHNGkshhEW! - again? Jesus, sorry,” Eddie sniffles wetly and turns back to Steve, having turned away to sneeze into his arm. 

“Bless you. Probably yeah, but it’s also your favorite shirt, so who cares,” Steve shrugs. “ But remember it’s cold outside now, and it’s always colder in the mall.” 

“Okay mom,” Eddie smirks, finding his favorite striped, black and white ringer tee. 

Shaking it out so the wrinkles fall and then yanking it on, the long haired man goes to his and Steve’s closet, looking through the sweater options. It takes a minute, but the twenty six year old decides on a simple black sweater of Steve’s. It’s a little more form fitting than he’d usually wear, but his boyfriend is right- it’s October, it’ll be cold in the mall, and if he’s honest, he’s already a little chilly. 

Nose running, Eddie grabs a tissue from the box on their bedside table; the one that usually only Steve uses, and blows his nose quietly, annoyed when he hears just how gross he sounds. Washing his hands, the long haired man pulls his hair up in a bun to keep it away from his face, letting it be looser than it usually is, not bothering to redo it when it deflates a little. He hears Steve call him so he finishes up, shivering as he makes his way down the hallway to their living room and attached kitchen. 

“Hey, they’re about five away. Do you want anything to eat before we leave?” 

Steve’s munching on a granola bar and a banana, both of which sound awful to Eddie. He shakes his head and then lays it against his boyfriend’s just slightly taller shoulder, tired already. The other man lays a hand on Eddie’s back, rubbing up and down gently. 

“Thank you for wearing something warm and not just your t-shirt,” Steve says softly, dropping a kiss to Eddie’s curls. 

“Mm, kinda cold anyway. Thanks for being a mom,” Eddie teases, then scrunches his nose up, eyes fluttering as his nostrils twitch. He turns to the side, pressing his arm tightly to his face. 

“ihKhgTchew! hihnKtSHuhew! iinGKshEW!” 

The last sneeze is messier than Eddie anticipates and he keeps his nose buried into the sweater, turning slightly. 

“Can you grab me a tissue?” 

“Yeah, sure babe. Bless you, you feeling okay?” Steve grabs a tissue from the living room and hands it to him, frowning as Eddie quickly replaces his arm with the tissue wiping his nose and then blowing it. This time, both men wince. 

“Think I finally caught that cold you had a couple weeks back,” Eddie rubs at his nose again with the now balled up tissue, the tip and edges going pink. 

“Take it easy today okay? That shit took me and Robin out quick,” Steve puts a hand on Eddie’s forehead, which makes the other huff. 

He remembers just how quickly Steve had gotten sick, waking up fine and by 2pm he’d crawled into bed with a miserable sore throat, sounding like his head was filled with concrete. They’d had to call and cancel dinner with Wayne, who ended up driving out with plates of food he’d already cooked, giving them enough for a few days. 

“I will, but you don’t get to fuss, worry about you and your adoring fans,” Eddie cracks a smile, finally moving away from his boyfriend to wash his hands again. “Sounds like the girls are here,” he adds, gesturing to Steve’s phone that’s buzzing on the counter. 

Steve opens it and nods, laughing when he sees a selfie or Nance and Robin, both looking annoyed that they’re not instantly there. They meet them down where Nancy’s waiting, sliding into the back of her Honda. 80’s pop is playing, and the girls are holding hands, singing along. 

“Okay you two, tone the pda down,” Steve huffs, rolling his eyes fondly. 

“Hey guys,” Robin ignores the words, looking back at them. 

“You ready to hang out with teens who are in love with Nancy and Steve all day Birdie?” Eddie laughs, making Robin snort. 

“Oh definitely, maybe we’ll just join them.”  “Oh please, do you know how many people I see look at both of you?” Nancy rolls her eyes, turning the music down some. 

“Yeah, but we’re like, the sidekicks, ya know?” Robin gestures to them, Steve laughs loudly, gently smacking her shoulder. 

“Please, that’s why whats-his-name from that one show wanted to ask you out before he found out you were a lesbian. Definitely sounds like a sidekick.” 

Eddie leans his head against Steve’s shoulder, smiling when the younger of the two starts drawing random patterns on the palm of his hand, something they’ve done with each other for years. It’s calming and lets Eddie relax, eyes drooping as he listens to Robin and Steve bicker. 

“Is he okay?” Nancy asks, and the long haired man is sure if he opened his eyes he’d see the same almost parental worry that Steve sometimes exudes coming off of her as well. 

“Finally coming down with that cold we all had,” Steve informs, running a hand down his shoulder and arm. 

“Oh that sucks, on today of all days, damn,” Robin murmurs quietly. 

In less than fifteen minutes the four of them step into the mall. Eddie doesn’t go into malls often unless there’s some funko pop that Hot Topic or Box Lunch is releasing. As they walk past numerous clothing stores, Steve then makes a noise and gestures in front of them. 

“Oh man.” 

There’s a long line outside of the newly opened Microsoft store, a line that’s undeniably, mostly for them. There’s a lot of younger fans, but all of them recognize a few older ones that they’ve met before or can tell from what they’re wearing or how they’re talking. 

“Todays going to be so fun guys,” Robin grins as they get closer to the large number of people. 

Eddie coughs to the side and Steve looks at him worriedly, squeezes his hand, then smiles and says hello to a few people as they pass to go into the store to get a rundown on what they’ll be doing all day. Eddie follows, saying hi and grinning, excited and hoping that this cold will hold off long enough for him to enjoy the day. 

The employees are almost overly nice. Eddie always expects older people to scoff or tell them that what they do for a living is a joke. But no one ever has, at least to their faces. Today is no different. Everyone who works there is kind and incredibly helpful. Eddie takes to a middle aged woman, Claire. who claims that she’s the most tech savvy of any of them in the entire place. She reminds him of his mom before she let drugs waste her life away. 

“So we’ll let you guys just do your thing, talk to people, play with them. We have security just in case someone decides to ruin the fun, but hopefully that will be avoided today.” 

They all know what the guy; Rick the manager, is referring to. Back four months ago some guy had basically pushed himself on Nancy, tried to feel her up, and it had been a big thing in the gaming community. Eddie still thinks Nancy’s the most badass person he knows for continuing the meet and greet she had instead of stopping, and for not letting the guy go freely, pulling charges on him. 

They’re moments away from opening the doors, the four of them standing there with some employees, when Eddie’s nose starts running, making it feel sensitive and itchy. He turns away from everyone and hugs the crook of his arm to his face. 

“ihGkTshhhew! iiHGktCHEW! ihHgGKshhEW!” 

Steve and a few workers bless him and he nods his thanks, the large glass doors sliding open. Everyone walks in, and the chaos begins. 

All four of the streamers are happy to talk to their fans, play with them and joke around. Eddie pushes his energy, staying as upbeat as usual, as if he wasn’t lying in bed two hours ago wishing desperately for more sleep. He jumps around and claps and laughs, all his usual dramatics coming out as he poses for a few photos, jumping on Steve’s back for one, clinging to him. As the girls walk away, Eddie stays attached to his boyfriend, who’s chuckling. 

“You good babe?” 

“Yeah, just tired,” Eddie smiles, hopping off and once again falling into his usual madness, a few guys walking up, excited to show the couple something they’ve made. 

By noon, Eddie’s energy starts to waver. His throat’s feeling worse, sharp and jagged every time he swallows. His head’s getting stuffier, pressure behind his eyes starting to make bouncing around feel more like a chore. Between the runny nose and sore throat, the long haired man wonders if he sounds like he’s getting sick. 

“iiHGkTSH’ew! snf! hihKgSHhhew! snfsnf! ihEhgKSHhEW! Jesus, sorry guys,” Eddie turns around from where he’s sneezed into the neck of his shirt, wanting to shield everyone from his germs as much as possible. 

“Bless you! It’s totally ok, are you sick?” One of the teens asks, and Eddie shrugs, brushing the comment off entirely. 

He doesn’t want to sound rude, but he also knows that fans, especially the 18-22 year old girls, can get a little intense when it comes to them. Eddie’s feeling just sick enough that he can admit to himself he doesn’t want to deal with the drama of fans coming up and worrying over him. As vain as it sounds, he knows they will. He’s seen the way people fawn all over Steve when he’s been sick, how they ask him how he’s feeling, if he needs anything. 

“I’m fine,” he assures, smiling and asking about a tattoo she has, steering her to a different topic. 

When there’s a slight lull, and Eddie gets a moment where no fans seem to be aging attention to him, he walks into the back of the store. There’s a large hallway with a few doors; a manager's office, a break room, and a bathroom. He heads to the bathroom and locks it when the door shuts, then grabs a paper towel from the tray on the sink and blows his nose a few times. It doesn’t help to make his nose any less pink than it’s already become from the numerous quick swipes and rubs he’s done throughout the past few hours, but it helps with the runniness and the sheen around his nostrils. 

Washing his hands, the twenty six year old pauses before he gets to the door, eyes fluttering. 

“ihGKtCHuhew! hih-ikTSHhew! hh! iiGKshh’EW!”

Catching the sneezes in his hand, Eddie grimaces and grabs another paper towel, repeating the process of blowing his nose and washing his hands. When he’s satisfied he’s not going to need to do everything again, the long haired man steps back out and onto the floor. 

“You get lost?” Robin jokes, walking up to him. 

“No, sorry, had to pee,” he lies, though he’s not even sure why he does. 

Though he doesn’t get sick often, Eddie’s never had a problem admitting when he is, never been like Steve who refuses to slow down, to admit he feels bad, who will run himself into the ground till he’s laid up for days. The musician can easily admit when he feels like shit, when he needs to take a break. He’s already admitted it to Steve, so what’s the issue with everyone else? Why today does he feel the need to hide everything, he’s not entirely sure. Maybe it’s because they’re at a meet up, and he has responsibilities, or that he doesn’t want to bring everybody else’s mood down.

“Steve said you weren’t feeling well, you ok?” 

“I’m fine, you sound like the girls I just talked to,” Eddie rolls his eyes fondly, knowing she’s just coming from a place of love. 

He is fine, he tells himself, straightening a bit. He’s getting a silly cold. Maybe he’s a little tired, maybe his throat is aching and the congestion is starting to make it feel like he’s got concrete in his head. But it’s not a big deal, he has people who want to meet him, who have been excited for weeks to hang out with the four of them. 

Eddie starts talking to a few people, asking them what type of games they’re into, what they like. As more pictures are taken, silly and goofy, Eddie photobombing a few of the others, it’s clear to fans something’s up. He’s trying, he is, to keep up his usual energy, but as the minutes tick by, he can’t. Steve walks over and smiles, joining in on a conversation he and another guy are having, and when the man leaves, Steve guides Eddie to the back hallway. 

“How’re you feeling?” 

“I’m fine Steve,” Eddie doesn’t mean to get prickly, but he wishes people would stop asking him that. 

“Hey, I’m just checking in. I know that cold sucks ass,” Steve frowns. 

“Well I’m fine. You and Robin can stop worrying,” he grumps, rubbing a hand over his face. 

Nose sensitive, it starts tickling when his fingers brush over it. Eddie turns away, pulling the neck of his shirt up, angling his face down. 

“ihGKish’EW! hihhHKTschh’EW! ihKSHhUHew!” 

The sneezes sound messy- are messy, and Eddie sniffles soupily, coughing a little. He looks back up at Steve, who’s staring at him worriedly. The musician bristles, feeling petulant and moody. He doesn’t need Steve to hover over him, and certainly doesn’t need him to play mother hen. 

“Eddi-“ 

“Leave it. It’s fine, I’m fine. I have a cold, Steve, not the plague.” 

Before Eddie can continue, Steve steps closer and presses a palm to Eddie’s forehead, who sets his jaw and glares. 

“Baby, you’re warm, warmer than I thought you’d be. We need to take a break.” 

“I don’t need a break, I’m not a child!” Everything is suddenly too much. Eddie’s whole body feels sensitive, stretched too tight, and he feels anxious. 

“Really? Because you sure are acting like one right now,” Steve scoffs. 

Freezing, Eddie stares at his boyfriend before rolling his eyes, anger flaring inside of him. He turns on his heel and walks back out, leaving Steve standing there. 

The vibe in the store noticeably shifts. Both men are a little more tense, a little less enthusiastic. A few fans ask Robin and Nancy if something happened, and while both wave it off, telling them everything is fine, the women can’t help but wonder the same thing. 

“What’s going on with you and Steve? Did you fight or something?” Nancy asks Eddie, who turns slowly to look at her, his expression resembling a rain cloud. 

“Why don’t you ask him? I’m the child, apparently.” 

“Riggght. Okay, so you two definitely fought,” the brunette grimaces. 

“No, Steve decided he was going to become my keeper,” Eddie grumbles, sniffling and coughing into his arm. 

“I’m sure he’s just worried since you’re not feeling w-“ 

“I’m fine, Jesus fucking Christ!” Eddie doesn’t mean to let his voice get as loud as it does. A few fans look over at them curiously, another has his phone out. Steve and Robin watch with confusion. 

Of course that’s going to be put on Twitter. He can imagine it now. 

Guys, Eddie blew up at Nancy and he’s obviously upset with Steve. What a dick. Canceled. 

Swallowing, making his ears tug uncomfortably, Eddie plays with one of his rings. 

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to yell. I’m just tired of you guys worrying so much. I’m sorry.” 

“It’s fine.” 

Nancy’s tone tells Eddie it’s anything but, but he doesn’t press it. Not when they’re in front of people. Instead, the curly haired man nods and rubs his face, then his eyes get back to Nancy’s. 

“I’m taking a five minute break.” 

He walks to the back for the third time, trying to calm down. He feels like garbage, he realizes. He’s uncomfortable and tired, everything in his head hurts. His nose is itching again, and he rubs it roughly as he leans against the gray wall. Vaguely surprised no one’s followed him, he tops his head back and lets out a breathy sigh. 

“Are you okay? You’ve never yelled at Nancy before, or anyone.” 

Eddie straightens up immediately. Diagonally in front of him is a girl, maybe early twenties, looking curious, her eyes locked on his. He shoves his hands into his pockets and gives her what he hopes is a convincing smile. 

“We’re friends, all friends have arguments. We should uh, probably get back out to the floor,” he suggests uncomfortably, feeling awkward. 

“Yeah, but you seemed seriously upset. And you’ve been weird this whole time.” 

Damn. When did people start getting bolder? He would have never talked to someone like this when he was younger. 

“Look, it’s nice you care, but it’s kind of private, and-“ he rubs at his nose wrinkling it to hopefully keep the tickle in his head at bay. “-we really should be back out there. I don’t know if you’re allowed to be back here.” 

“I’m just worried, everyone on Twitter is worried. You’re not yourself today.” 

Twitter. Jesus, that website is going to be the death of him. Eddie takes a step forward to start moving, but then freezes, turning away quickly. 

“ihhGuhKTschhew! iihgkshEW! hihkGSHhew!” 

“Bless you.” 

“Thank you,” Eddie sniffles and blinks slowly, wishing the girl would leave. “Alright, let’s get back,” he adds, gesturing to the door that’s not but ten feet away. 

Side stepping the girl, he walks quickly back out into the store. Everyone around him looks at him, making him feel more on edge, so he tries to ignore them. A few people walk up to him and he gives a smile. 

“I actually need to find Steve guys, I’m sorry.” 

He tries not to feel bad that they all look disappointed. Seeing his boyfriend playing Fortnite in the corner on a large tv screen, Eddie heads over, leaning against the wall as he waits for them to finish. Steve glances up at him and rolls his eyes, but when they finish, he too excuses himself, making the others walk off. 

“Yeah?” 

“I want to go home. You were right. I feel like shit, and I want to go home. I’m not having fun anymore.” 

Steve softens and takes his hand, feels his forehead again. Eddie’s aware people are snapping photos but he can’t bring himself to care. Instead he leans into the cool palm, and his boyfriend frowns. 

“Go grab our stuff, yeah? I’ll tell the girls and Rick.” 

The walk to the break room takes longer than it should. A few people stop to talk to him but he politely explains he’s not feeling well, and that he’s sorry, but he’s actually trying to grab stuff so they can head out. Most of them seem to understand, telling him they hope he feels better. A few don’t get it, and Eddie has to be a little more direct. 

“Yeah, I’m just feeling pretty shitty, so I’m not in the mood to try and talk much more. My throat’s on fire,” he gives a tight lipped smile and when they nod, he keeps moving. 

God, this is definitely the worst meet up he’s been to. He’s not sure if it’s because of his awful he feels, or if it’s the fact their fans probably think he’s a dick now, but whatever the cause, when he steps back out with his and Steve’s backpacks, his mood is somehow even more sour. 

As someone snaps another photo of him ‘discreetly’, Eddie almost turns around and asks them to delete it. Instead, he stays quiet aside from his sniffles, finally letting himself deflate when they walk out into the parking lot of the mall. 

“Nance, I’m really sorry,” Eddie mumbles after coughing into his arm. “I didn’t mean to be such an asshole.” 

“I know. You’re sick, and I know you don’t normally do that. I’m sorry you feel so shitty.” 

Eddie shakes his head, sniffling more. 

“No, that’s not an excuse, I was a dick.” 

“Yeah you were,” Robin smirks from the passenger seat. 

“Alright, alright. Let’s just…all relax ok? We’ll deal with it later.” Steve says, his voice tired.

The musician feels guilty. When they get dropped off back at their apartment, and they’re finally inside and away from everyone, even their friends, Eddie grabs Steve’s hand. 

“I’m sorry I was an asshole to you too, Stevie.” 

“You were, but I shouldn’t have said what I said either. I knew you were sick and still picked a fight. So I’m sorry too. Now get your ass in bed so I can take your temperature and figure out what meds I should give you.” 

Eddie groans but does as he’s told, the bed sounding nicer and nicer. Yanking off the clothes he’s in, he tosses them in the hamper then shimmies on sweatpants and his oldest Dio tee. It feels nicer on his skin than the sweater had, and when he crawls into bed, he lets out an almost inhuman moan. God he feels awful. 

Debating, the long haired man finally grabs his phone and hesitantly opens Twitter. Instantly he regrets it. He’s got hundreds of notifications. Some are pictures of him and some fans, others are slamming him for acting the way he did towards Nancy. Some are defending him, some are asking if he’s okay. It all makes his head hurt worse. 

“Hey, got the thermometer,” Steve walks in, frowning when he sees Eddie’s face. “You okay?” 

“Fans are calling me out, which isn’t surprising. Still sucks though, that I even did it in the first place.” 

“Eds. You’re sick, and a little feverish. Nancy will explain. You can explain. And if they still have an issue, then their idiots. Everyone gets prickly when they’re sick. And you and Nance are friends, it’s not like it was a fan.” 

Oh fuck. 

“Oh fuck.” 

“What?” 

Eddie groans, rubbing his face and looking at his boyfriend anxiously. 

“There was a girl…she kind of ambushed me after I yelled at Nancy. Came into the back to try and talk, and she kept ignoring me when I told her she needed to go back. So I kind of just left her there.” 

Steve rolls his eyes. 

“These people need to learn personal space, Jesus. It’ll be fine. You didn’t yell at her, and you didn’t say anything rude. It’s fine Eds.” 

Steve slips the thermometer into Eddie’s mouth, effectively silencing him. It beeps twenty seconds later. 

“100.5. Definitely up enough to make you feel like crap. I’ll grab some Motrin and DayQuil. Just relax okay babe? It’ll all be ok.” 

Sighing, the older man knows he’s right, so he shuts his eyes and sniffles. Minutes later, he’s drinking disgusting fake cherry flavored DayQuil and swallowing two Motrin. 

“Thanks…I love you Stevie.” 

“Love you too Eddie. Let’s just rest now.”

Sicktember Day 12 - Stress Induced Illness - Steddie - Streamer AU

The building is packed. This is the second year the ‘fruity four’ have been invited to be at VidCon, and it seems this time it’s even more over the top and chaotic. It’s fun, of course, but Eddie feels stress start to flood through him. 

There’s just so many damn people everywhere, and he knows he needs to live up to everyone’s expectations, be the kind of dorky but also cool, sarcastic boyfriend to Steve, because he knows most people only know him through his boyfriend, even if he was vaguely popular before they started dating. 

Looking at the other three, he’s almost thankful to see Robin looking overwhelmed too, finding comfort in the fact it’s not just himself. Holding tighter to the strap of his backpack, his other hand clasped in Steve’s , Eddie follows as they’re led behind curtains to be briefed on everything they’ll be doing. 

He signs things and laughs with the people in the community, even gets some gifts and things people have made. By the end of his m&g, he’s got multiple bracelets on his wrist from fans all over the country. It blows his mind. He’s got tons of cool art he’s going to hang on his side of his and Steve’s gaming room, and he can’t wait to see all the stuff Steve’s been gifted, as well as Robin and Nancy. 

As they’re walking to another panel, a couple of girls come running up to talk to the four of them. Eddie swallows, his head hurting a bit at the sheer volume and tone of their voices. He greets them and gives them side hugs, not wanting to invade their personal space, even though it seems they have no problem invading any of theirs. 

As they’re walking to another panel, a couple of girls come running up to talk to the four of them. Eddie swallows, his head hurting a bit at the sheer volume and tone of their voices. He greets them and gives them side hugs, not wanting to invade their personal space, even though it seems they have no problem invading any of theirs. 

During the panel is when everything goes to shit. Fans are asking questions and Eddie’s trying to focus, trying to listen and respond, but it feels like he's underwater. His head is throbbing and he’s nauseous, everything feels oddly far away, just out of reach. When people laugh, Eddie’s able to laugh along with them, and when spoken directly too, he can make out enough to reply. 

Steve glances over at him, grabbing his hand after he has to get the question repeated twice. Eddie’s body feels hot and fuzzy, his whole head feels like it’s filled with air. He swallows and tastes iron, as if he’s swallowing blood. The long haired man isn’t really focusing when a girl starts asking Steve a question, stopping it mid sentence to then ask if Eddie’s alright. 

Everyone on stage frowns, then looks at the man, who’s swallowing convulsively. The entire room goes silent as Steve puts a hand on his shoulder. 

“Eddie? Hey, Eddie, honey….” 

“Steve…I don’feel…m’have…seizure,” he fumbles out, words clumsy and heavy in his mouth. He wants his brain to work but he’s so damn tired.

It’s not something he talks about a lot. Should he? Probably. Will he after this nightmare? Definitely. But until now, his epilepsy isn’t something fans have known about. He’s had it since he was a kid, but the seizures are well controlled. He hasn’t had one since he was newly twenty two. The only thing to even acknowledge it is the small black pendant attached to the chain around his neck that also holds his beloved guitar pick, the one that alerts medical teams he’s epileptic. 

As if an air conditioner or fan has kicked on, a sudden cold chill tears through him, and his body tenses. Then, nothing. 

Eddie sees videos later that day of himself getting moved to the stage floor seconds before he starts seizing. Two paramedics are there moments later, and security start getting people to head back out from the room. 

“That’s wild…seeing myself do that,” Eddie mumbles into Steve’s shoulder, the younger man laying squished into the small hospital bed with him. 

They’re keeping him for a few more hours to make sure there’s not going to be a rebound seizure and that his vitals stay normal. Though they’ve advised not to continue the rest of the weekend, they’ve also explained he’s free to do what he wants, and just to take it easy if he does go back. He knows this drill, has dealt with the aftermath of a new seizure a handful of times. 

The next morning, Eddie steps back into the convention center with his three friends. He’s exhausted and embarrassed and nervous, but they’ve put him on a new epilepsy medication until he’s back home and can see his usual neurologist. Fans of the four streamers see them and instantly start asking from a line if he’s okay and how he’s feeling. 

“I’m okay guys, really. Just tired. Might be a little slower today with uh, with all the signing and photos and stuff,” he gives a smile, a lazy hand wave, and everyone seems to genuinely understand. 

The signing and photo op starts off great, just like the day prior. But he starts feeling exhaustion creep back in an hour later. He feels like he’s been sucked dry from any energy and his head is starting to hurt again. He pushes through for another ten minutes before he finally looks down at Steve, who definitely can’t tell how sick he feels, not from that far away. 

“Hey uh, I gotta go talk to Steve,” he tells his handler, who nods and reminds him not to step out from behind the tables, so he doesn’t get fans swarming him. 

“Steve?”

The man is signing something for a couple of teen girls, and Eddie feels bad for interrupting. Except not really because he feels like if he doesn’t lay down soon he’s going to collapse. He’s freezing and feels like hell. 

“Hey, what’s u-“ Steve cuts himself off when he looks at Eddie. A frown appears and then Steve’s apologizing to the few girls closest in line, before leading Eddie behind the drapes. Both their handlers follow. 

“You okay?” 

“I need to go lay down, I feel like fucking shit.” 

Steve winces at how blunt the answer is, how straight to the point and with absolutely no teasing or theatricality there is. 

“Yeah, yeah. Ok. We need to uh…” 

“I’ve got it from here honey,” Eddie’s handler, a kind older woman, assures. 

The long haired man nods and thanks her before heading back. Steve joins him, not caring if fans are upset. Eddie comes first, always. He makes an Instagram and Twitter post while his boyfriend dozes, explaining the situation and apologizing. The fans seem to understand for the most part, so he gives them a little photo of Eddie asleep in bed. 

‘Resting up. Don’t think either of us will finish out this weekend unfortunately, but thank you to everyone who came out and all the fans we got to meet. I’m sure Eddie will post something too, but for now just know we really do appreciate you guys, and we’re sorry for the abrupt ending.’

Sicktember Day 27 - Sleepless Nights - Steddie - Streamer AU

Steve sits at his desk, setup illuminated by the LED light strips coming from behind his monitor. He can’t sleep, not with how shitty he feels, but he doesn’t feel like he can do much else, either. Eddie’s asleep in their bedroom, probably dreaming about the new Hogwarts Legacy game that’s coming out soon- the one he won’t stop talking about. 

Yawning and scrubbing a hand down his face, the gamer sniffles and waits as his computer boots up, keyboard lighting up. He needs something to play thats mindless, something he doesn’t have to actually use brain power for- if he does he’s certain his head will explode. 

Having caught some bug from his and Eddie’s last small meet up a few days prior, Steve’s been laying around with a sore throat and aching head, a little congested and restless. He needs to be working on things, coming up with collars and talking to brands he’s partnered with. Instead, he’s been napping and cuddling and avoiding all responsibilities. 

Deciding on Minecraft, he keeps his user profile in incognito mode, not wanting to alert anyone he’s awake at 2:27am. He goes through his world, working on fixing things he’s built, and doesn’t realize it’s almost 6am until Eddie comes in looking sleepy, confused and worried, blanket draped around him like an old grandma. 

“Stevie? What’re y’doing?” The man’s eyebrows knit together and he squints. 

“Jesus! Sorry, you scared me,” Steve’s heart races as he takes a few deep breaths, which sends him into a coughing fit. 

It lets up and he leans into Eddie’s hand that’s appeared on his shoulder. 

“I couldn’t sleep, so…” he gestures to the screen where Minecraft is playing.

“Come on handsome, let’s get you to bed. I’ll give you some Benadryl if you want, knock you and your cute ass out for a few hours,” Eddie kisses his head and pulls him up, transferring the warm blanket onto him. 

“Mm, yeah…guess I’m more tired than I realized.”
