"Well, that was better than I thought it was going to be." Dustin said as he stood up from his seat while the credits began to roll on the screen. "I told you!" Mike replied as he and El also stood from their seats. Dustin stretched, his body somewhat numb after having sat for so long, "What did you guys think?" He asked as he turned to look behind him expecting to see Eddie & Steve but instead only saw their empty seats. "Huh? Where'd they go?" He said in surprise as he turned back to look at the other kids.
Everyone shrugged, "Maybe they couldn't get along long enough to watch the whole movie sitting together so they left." Lucas said,
"I didn't hear them bickering or anything.. but the movie was pretty loud so I could be wrong." Max added. Dustin began walking out of the theater, reaching the sidewalk outside he stopped to notice Steve's car was gone. "Okay but if they left because they couldn't stand each other long enough to watch the movie, then where's Eddie? Steve wouldn't have driven him home.. would he?"
Mike said, watching as Dustin searched the area for a sign of either of them. "I highly doubt it.. He was telling me to make sure Eddie stayed away from him when we were walking in.." Dustin replied, as he grabbed his bike. "I kinda told Eddie to sit by him anyway and try to make friends.." He added reluctantly. "What? Why? You should've known that was gonna cause trouble if he clearly asked you to keep Eddie away from him, Dustin." Mike said. "I know, I know.. I'm gonna check to see if Steve is home and find out what happened. Do you guys wanna come?" The gang all agreed, "Okay but if Steve says anything about not wanting to be around him anymore you've gotta quit pushing it, dude. I know you're dreaming of these big group hangouts but you're only gonna make them hate each other if you keep doing this." Lucas said as he also grabbed his bike.

And so they all headed out to Steve's house, he was still living with his parents at the moment so that's where they went. As they all rode into the Harrington's yard, they noticed Steve's car wasn't in the driveway, they all walked up and knocked on the door.
Mrs. Harrington answered the door and smiled at the kids, "Hey guys, what brings you all over?" Dustin smiled back at her, "We're actually looking for Steve. We were all at the movies earlier but we noticed he must've left early or something and figured he may have just came home.. We just wanted to make sure everything was okay." She shook her head, "No, he hasn't come home yet.
Was something wrong?" She asked. "Oh no, we just wondered why he left without seeing the rest of the movie. I'm sure he's fine,
he probably just got bored and left. Sorry to bother you! We'd best be on our way now, see ya later Mrs. Harrington." Mike said with a smile. As they all walked away, Eleven stopped and turned to Dustin, "Do you think maybe they weren't fighting? Maybe Eddie just needed to go home and Steve took him." She asked. Dustin pondered the thought before picking up his bike, "Maybe!
They could've worked everything out and just went back to Eddie's to hangout instead! His uncle is still out of town on some trip so he has the house to himself, they might've just went there to drink or something." He said, excited at the idea his two role models and friends might now be good friends too. It was beyond dark out now, the flashlights on their bikes illuminated the road as they turned into the trailer park, they all came to a stop as they got close enough to Eddie's to see Steve's car parked right in front by the door beside Eddie's van. The porch light by the front door shining down on it. Dustin grinned, seeing that Steve did take Eddie home and the fact that he was still there had to mean they were getting along. There was no sound of fighting or arguing, that they could hear anyway, so that was a really good sign. They all began walking toward the door, dropping their bikes on the ground by Steve's car, Dustin walked up to the door and began knocking. No answer. There was a light on in the living room and the only other glimmer of light was a shade of red coming from the window at the back of the house. The kids stood there waiting for a response, Max raised her brow in curiosity as she heard faint noises coming from the room at the back of the house, she nudged Lucas on the shoulder and leaned her head toward that room. She and Lucas stepped away from the other kids and walked closer to the end of the trailer,
as they got closer and tried to figure out what the shuffling noise was, Lucas stepped even closer and listened. As he stepped forward he heard something he wasn't expecting to hear.. moaning. And also what sounded like.. chains rustling? Super weird. He stepped back just as quickly as he stepped forward before.. Max raised her arms, "What is it?" She asked. "I don't know, but.. something is going on in there and if it's what I think it is.. Dustin doesn't have to worry about these two getting along." He said, taking a glance back at the window that was covered with what looked like a flag poster. Confused but still curious, Max called out and motioned for the rest of their crew to come over there. They all stood at the end of the house, curious at what they were called for, "What's going on?" El said as she walked up, now standing beside Max. "We're not sure but something's up." She replied.
Dustin walked to stand by Lucas who was the person closest to the window, "Are they fighting?" He asked, expecting the inevitable 'yes'. Lucas shook his head, "No, I don't think so.. I'm not really sure what's going on. I heard, well I thought I heard.."
He trailed off, being cut off by the sound of a man's voice, "Did you hear that?"... Followed by another man's voice, "You're being paranoid.." Now *completely* confused as to what was going on, they all began walking back to the front door. "Somebody should have just peeked in the window.." Will said, "I'm not looking in there." Lucas said adamantly. Mike rolled his eyes, himself, El and Max being the last ones to walk away, he started to walk up to the window to check it out himself but was startled by a loud moaning sound. Shocked, the three of them quickly walked away, catching up with the others who were now back at the doorstep. "I don't understand.. what do you all think is going on in there?" Eleven said innocently, Max awkwardly smiled and leaned in to whisper in her ear. "OH." She said, "Wait.. what does that mean?" She asked, obviously not picking up what Max was trying to beat around the bush to. "I'll explain later." Max replied.

They were all now back at the front door, Dustin knocked again, harder this time. "Eddie! Steve! It's us open up.." He shouted. They heard voices coming from inside the house, they couldn't quite make out what was being said but soon after they heard footsteps coming closer to the door.. The door opened after a minute, Eddie appeared before them looking disheveled, his hair more of a mess than usual, wearing only loose fitting plaid pajama pants. "And what do I owe the pleasure, Henderson.. and gang?"
He said as he noticed the numerous kids residing on his doorstep. "Is Steve here?" Dustin said, asking the obvious. Eddie looked passed them at Steve's car parked outside and then looked back at Dustin, "It appears he is." He replied in a sarcastic tone. "What were the noises coming from that room?" Eleven asked bluntly, the rest of the kids turning their heads to glare at her in disbelief that she really just asked that.. Eddie's eyes widened briefly at her question, he then smirked and leaned against the doorframe and crossed his arms. "I don't know what you're talking about." He replied, clearly he wasn't going to answer her question. "There were sounds coming from that room.." She started to press for an answer again but was cut off by Max nudging her and whispering for her to stop talking, causing the two to quietly bicker amongst themselves. Eddie chuckled and moved to stand normally again as he glanced back toward the bedroom and then back to the kids in front of him, "Do you need him for something or do you always follow him wherever he goes?" He said jokingly. "Uh no, we just wanted to know why you guys left without finishing the movie.." Dustin quipped back. Eddie held back a laugh thinkning of the *real* reason they left early.. "We got bored. I said I had the place to myself and told Harrington I had the key to my uncle's liquor cabinet. You do the math." He replied. Dustin nodded his head knowingly and glanced at the other kids before looking back at Eddie, "Yeah, that's what I figured happened..
So you guys are really hitting it off now then?" Dustin asked. Eddie smirked and nodded, "Yep, like two peas in a pod." He said with a mischievous grin. Lucas and Mike glanced at each other not believing a word Eddie was saying, they know what they heard and it didn't just sound like two buddies having a good time. "So where is Steve?" Mike asked, trying to get a genuine answer out of Eddie. "And where's your clothes?" Lucas added, also trying to get the truth about what was going on. Eddie looked down and realized he answered the door damn near naked, "A man can't be comfortable in his own house?" He quickly responded.
Lucas and Mike were both skeptical, "I guess so.. But you still didn't answer where Steve is.." Mike replied, now very suspicious of what was going on. "He's in my room. I was showing him my music collection." Eddie said with a smile. Yeah, they didn't buy that. "Eddie? Who is it?" Steve shouted from the bedroom. Eddie looked into the hallway, "Your kids are here, Harrington.
They want to know what I've done with their mommy." He shouted back in a mischievous tone, looking back at the kids with a suggestive smirk on his face. Dustin shifting his gaze between Eddie and Lucas & Mike, not understanding the undertone of the situation. He was trying to figure out what they knew that he didn't. Suddenly they heard footsteps approaching, they all watched on as Eddie turned his head again to look into the hallway.. A smile spreading across his face as he stared on, they couldn't see what he was looking at for the door in their way. Steve now stood beside Eddie at the door, he too looked disheveled. His normally well coiffed hair now a tangled mess, and wearing a Iron Maiden tshirt and blue boxers. "Hey guys, what's up?" He said in a hasty tone, stepping forward, Eddie backed up to now stand behind him. "That's Eddies shirt.." Dustin said, confused.
Steve glanced down but quickly looked back at Dustin, "Oh yeah, I decided to stay the night but I didn't have anything to sleep in so Eddie lent me this for the night." He replied, trying to cover his tracks without suspicion. "You're staying the night? Why?"
Dustin asked, Lucas and Mike eagerly waiting to hear Steve's response.. Max, Eleven & Will growing bored with the numerous questions, had walked away to stand by their bikes and come to their own conclusions. Eddie stepped forward, throwing his arm around Steve's shoulder, he chimed in, "Yeah I asked him to stay, I know how much you want us to get to know each other so I figured this would be the best way.. Having a little sleepover, no big deal." He smiled. Steve nodded eagerly, "Y-Yeah, that's it, man.. We're gonna hangout and talk about music and uh.. Did you guys know Eddie has a band?" He said, trying to change the topic of conversation. The other boys gave each other confused looks. "Uh, yeah we know." Lucas said. "So you're having a sleepover.. to get to know each other better?" Dustin said, "Couldn't you just have a conversation to do that?" He asked. Eddie began twirling the hair at the back of Steve's head as he still stood behind him, his arm no longer on Steve's shoulder, "Where's the fun in that?" He said, continuing to play with Steve's hair. "I mean, yeah we could have but it's getting late and neither of us had anything else to do, so we just decided to do it this way instead." Steve said with a smile, steadily swatting Eddie's hand away. "Ookay.." Mike said, "Well we should be heading home now." He grabbed Dustin's arm, "C'mon Dustin, we can all meet up tomorrow or something." Mike and Lucas walked away, joining Will and Eleven and picking up their bikes and Max was already walking off to her house. Dustin stood there for a minute longer, Eddie locked eyes with him as he notcied the younger boy was trying to put two and two together.. He put his hands behind his head and starting thrusting his hips, making obscene faces while he still stood behind Steve. Dustin's eyes widened, realizing what Eddie was hinting at, Steve noticed the look on Dustin's face. "What?" He asked, turning his head to look behind him, Eddie quickly dropping the act and lifted his arms above his head and pretended to yawn. Steve looked back to Dustin, who gave an awkward chuckle, "Okay cool.. I'll see you guys later." He said as he walked away and grabbed his bike, quickly catching up with the others.

Steve watched on as the younger teens left, he dropped his head and let out a defeated sigh. "They know.." He said, not exactly wanting his shenanigans with Eddie to be known by anyone, let alone Dustin and the other kids. Eddie rested his head on Steve's shoulder and smiled as he watched the kids ride away, "Oh yeah, big time." He teased, "Mike's little girlfriend asked about the noises.. they know that I've desecrated their mommy." He said with a chuckle. Steve rolled his eyes and stepped away, walking back toward the bedroom causing Eddie to stumble as he caught his ground. "I really wish you wouldn't keep saying that." Steve said as he entered Eddie's bedroom. Eddie shrugged as he closed the door shut, "I don't know why you have such a big problem with it, I wouldn't mind you calling me daddy at all.." He said emphatically as he walked behind him, following him back into the bedroom. "Yeah, that's not gonna happen." Steve replied, as he picked up his pants to start getting dressed.. Eddie grabbed his hand, causing him to pause what he was doing and look at Eddie with a raised eyebrow. "You know, you don't have to go. You really could stay here.. with me." Eddie said, his voice low and calm. He actually didn't want Steve to leave, this was the most fun he's had in god knows how long.. He was taking a liking to Steve. Steve continued looking at Eddie, surprised at how serious he was all of a sudden, he had been joking and fooling around all day so he was taken aback by the shift in tone. This day ended up going entirely different than he could have imagined, he would have never expected he'd end up at Eddie Munson's trailer having a sleepover, let alone all the other things he'd done with him that day. But for whatever reason, he couldn't figure out why, he wasn't bothered by it.. He actually enjoyed being with him and he'd had fun in the time they'd spent together. He wasn't sure what any of this meant because he'd only ever considered himself straight, he'd never had thoughts about a guy or done anything like this before.
He let go of his pants, letting them fall back onto the floor and sat down on Eddie's bed, still gazing up at him as Eddie stood there in front of him. Eddie placed his hand on Steve's cheek, smiling as he looked down at the handsome brunette boy staring back at him with a soft expression. Steve put his hands on Eddie's hips, "I don't.. know what any of this means, like I've never done.. well, anything like this. And I don't really know what to make out of this but.." Eddie placed his finger over Steve's lips, silencing him,
he smiled softly. "You don't have to overanalyze or explain anything to me.. just, just stay." Eddie said, his warm smile and the entrancing twinkle in his big doe eyes causing butterflies in Steve's stomach. Steve nodded in compliance, "..Okay." He said and smiled back. Eddie's expression changing slowly from sweet to stern, he moved his hand from Steve's cheek to grab his chin instead,
he tilted Steve's head back forcefully, "Good boy." He said, before shoving Steve back onto the bed and crawled on top of him.
His hands placed on the bed almost pinning Steve in place, he looked into Steve's eyes and smiled. Steve smiling back, he reached his hand up to Eddie's face and brushed his hair back behind his ear. Eddie leaned down and kissed Steve softly, Steve leaving his hand to rest on Eddie's cheek. "You know I have to admit.." Steve said as he broke the kiss, "I thought you'd be alot different.."
He said as he kept his hand on Eddie's face, starting to rub his thumb across his cheek. Eddie tilted his head slightly, "Mean and scary?
A 'devil worshipper'"? He asked in a nonchalant tone. Steve chuckled and nodded, "Yeah kinda, I mean that's sort of the vibe I got.. but you're actually pretty cool, although.." He hesitated, Eddie raised an eyebrow, acting insulted, "Although? What I'm not cool?" He said, Steve smiled, "No, it's just, I don't really know much about you. I have an idea what kind of music you like, but other than that you're a mystery." He said, never moving his hand. Eddie rolled over to lay on his side beside Steve, Steve turning on the opposite side to face him. "Well, I play guitar in a band.. which I also write the lyrics for. I like playing D&D, I live with my uncle,
obviously.. I like horror movies and books, I've only been out of this shitty town a couple of times, Halloween is my favorite holiday.
My favorite slushee flavor is cherry but my favorite drink is Mountain Dew, it's a toss up between red and black for my favorite color,
I like my van although it need some work done to it right now, and I like you." He said, ending his speech with a goofy smile.
Steve chuckled, putting his hand out to push Eddie's face away as Eddie moved his head side to side acting silly, same goofy smile on his face. "What about you, hot shot.. What are some facts about you, other than being a single mom to six kids.." Eddie said in a playful tone. Steve rolled his eyes and laughed, "I told you, I'm not their mother! If anything I'm like their babysitter, role model,
older brother or something.. I just look out for them and keep them in line from time to time." He replied, Eddie sighed, "Yeah,
yeah whatever.. answer the question." Steve smiled and shook his head, he knew then he wasn't gonna get rid of the mom jokes anytime soon. "I like movies, comedy mostly. I like going on trips, my family usually takes one every year. I like going to parties,
MY favorite slushee flavor is blue raspberry.." He and Eddie chuckled, "My favorite color is probably blue, I guess.. I like my car,
and I also like you." He said with a smile, watching as Eddie smiled back at him not so subtlely pleased to hear the feeling is mutual.

The two spent the night together, staying up until the wee hours of the morning getting to know each other's likes and dislikes.
Learning about one another's family life and talking about their favorite bands and movies, Eddie introducing Steve to his taste in music and Steve telling Eddie all about his best friend Robin and how they worked together at the video store. The two boys realized they had a mutual admiration for each other, what one lacked whether it be confidence or popularity, they evened each other out. They couldn't go a minute without touching in one way or another, they ended their night together passionately and fell asleep in each other's arms. As daylight broke Steve was awakened to a loud knocking on the door, he looked over his shoulder to see Eddie still sleeping peacefully behind him, his arm thrown over Steve's side holding him tightly.. Steve grabbed Eddie's arm and squinted as he looked at the watch on Eddie's wrist to see it was 8:16 a.m. He sleepily laid his head back down on the pillow but the knocking continued, he reluctantly moved Eddie's arm, gently to not disturb his sleeping, and tiptoed out of the room,
closing the door quietly behind him. He continued down the hall and opened the door, squinting his eyes again to adjust to the bright sunlight, his eyes began to focus and he saw Dustin and the rest of the boys standing there looking at him. "Do you know what time it is?" He asked in a quiet but obviously irritated tone. "Uh, yeah it's morning Are you guys not up yet?" Dustin asked,
expecting the two to be up and at em already. "Shhhh..." Steve said raising his finger to his mouth to emphasize his shushing,
"Eddie's still asleep.. We didn't go to bed until a few hours ago." He said quietly. "Too busy screwing each other senseless to get any shut eye?" Mike asked mockingly. Steve put his hands on his hips and looked at Mike agitatedly, "No, we were just talking and hanging out.. Why are you guys even here?" He asked, shifting his attention between all four boys. "We wanted you guys to come with us! We decided today would be a great day to go to the pool!" Will said excitedly. Steve shook his head, "The pool doesn't even open til ten shitheads.. that's two hours from now." He said, yawning and looking back toward the bedroom to see if they'd woken Eddie. "Yeah, I'm the one who suggested we get here early, I figured you lovebirds didn't go to sleep right after we left." Lucas quipped, he and Mike chuckling. "I don't know what you guys are talking about.. We literally just hung out all night and talked about movies and shit and got to know each other like you all wanted." Steve said, becoming annoyed with all the jokes.
"Steve?" The boys all turned their heads to look toward the bedroom, Eddie's voice resounding through the whole trailer, "I'm out here, the kids are wanting us to go to the pool.." Steve said, reassuring Eddie that he hadn't left yet. The sound of footsteps barreling down the hall, Eddie stumbled as he got to the door, still pulling his pajama bottoms up onto his waist. "Oh hey dorks,
what's up?" He said with a sleepy smile, his messy hair covering his face almost completely. Dustin smiled, he enjoyed the fact that the two were finally getting along. "You wanna go swimming with us? We figured we'd kick this summer off right." Dustin said,
his big smile showing how happy he was that the two had somehow found a way to become friends. Eddie yawned and pushed his hair out of his eyes, seeing Max and Eleven walking over from Max's house directly across from them. "Yeah that might be fun..
can we postpone until I have breakfast first? I am famished.." He said, looking back to the boys in front of him. "Sure, we'll just wait while you eat and get ready." Dustin said, pushing himself between the two older boys and walking to sit down in the living room, the other kids following behind him. Eddie and Steve backing up, hands in the air while all the kids walked through and sat down in the living room. "Max told me about the noises.." Eleven said as she made her way between the two, Steve and Eddie gave each other knowing glances before Eddie looked back at her, "Oh yeah? What'd she tell you?" He asked with a smirk. Eleven smiled and looked up at him, "She said you were having sex. Joyce told me what sex was and how you only have it with people you love, so I assume you're in love and I think that's great. I'm happy for you both." She said before continuing into the living room to join the others. Steve laughed nervously, having been taken off guard by Eleven's statement, he looked at Eddie to see he was also kind of shocked at what she'd said.

As the kids took their seats in the living room and began planning out the day, Eddie walked into the kitchen and started looking around to see what he wanted for breakfast. Steve followed Eddie into the kitchen and was getting out pans and utensils, "What are you cooking? Do you want me to make anything?" Steve asked, a spatula in one hand and a skillet in the other, Eddie was still searching the cabinets over as he answered, "Uh... maygbe eggs, maybe there's some left in the fridge.." He replied as he opened the refrigerator, he bent down to move things around while he searched for a carton of eggs. Steve looked around to see if the kids were paying attention, they weren't, he turned back to look at Eddie... He smirked and twirled the spatula in his hand as if it were a baseball bat and began swatting Eddie's ass with it. Eddie turned around but he did it so quickly that he bumped his head as he came up, Steve found it hilarious and leaned over grabbing his knees while he laughed. The kids having missed the first half,
were definetly paying attention now after hearing Steve's looud laughter. Eddie looked irritated at first but couldn't stop the smile forming as he began to laugh at Steve. The younger teens watched on in stunned silence as the two older boys continued to laugh and taunt each other in the kitchen, Eddie nodding his head up and down as he started backing Steve into a corner by the cabinets,
"Oh is it funny? You think you're fucking hysterical don't you?" He said, chuckling through the whole sentence.. Steve almost crying from laughing so hard at the fact Eddie's head bounced off the refrigerator door, he couldn't respond and instead just swatted his hands back and forth in a mock surrender, then imitating the face Eddie made when he hit his head. The two boys now nestled into a corner of the kitchen, still laughing & jokingly fighting and not paying any mind to the six kids watching them from the living room, Eddie reached his hand over to the nearby countertop and grabbed a handful of the popcorn they had made the night before and shoved it into Steve's face, reminiscent of a bride and groom shoving wedding cake. "Is that funny?" He asked, Steve turned his head side to side to try and keep the popcorn from getting in his mouth but failed, he spat the kernels out hitting Eddie in the face with them, all the while the two continued to giggle. Eddie backed away and shook his head, popcorn falling from his hair as he did, he looked back at Steve, "Not cool man, you're getting it in my hair.." He said, slightly annoyed. Steve cocked his head back and gave a sly smirk before quietly saying, "Not what you said last night.." Eddie smirked at him but shoved Steve's chest playfully, "Shut up.. you're cleaning this up, I hope you know." Mike looked on with a repulsed expression on his face,
"They're not gonna be like this all summer are they?" He asked the others. Dustin, still not sure what to think about the whole thing, broke his stare from the two to look at Mike, "I'm not sure.. I wasn't expecting them to get *this* close." He replied. Eleven covered her mouth slightly to stifle her laughter as she watched the two boys, she shifted her gaze to the other kids in the living room, "I think it's nice.. They seem to be really enjoying each other's company. Isn't that what you wanted, Dustin?" She asked,
seeming genuinely happy for the two. Dustin shrugged, "I mean, I guess.. but I was expecting something little like being able to hold a conversation not shacking up together." He said, trying to comprehend what could have caused them to get to this point.
Max didn't join in the conversation at first, she continued watching the two boys who were now literally making breakfast together..
Eddie standing in front of the stove, one hand holding the skillet and the other hand breaking up yolks with a spatula while Steve stood behind him moving his hair to whisper into the other boy's ear. Max opened her mouth to speak then stopped, turning her head to the others now joining their conversation, "I mean, it's strange..yeah. But.. they do seem happy." She said with a shrug,
somewhat agreeing with Eleven. Before anyone else could add their opinion to the mix, Steve walked into the living room, sat down on the floor by the coffee table and slapped his hands onto the table, "So.. are we going straight there or does anyone need to make a stop first?" He asked. "No, well we have a cooler so we could go by the store and get a few snacks to bring with us."
Will replied. Steve nodded in agreement then looked up to see Eddie now walking in the room to join them. Two plates in hand,
he sat down on the floor beside Steve and sat both their plates on the coffee table and began eating. "So how do you all plan to get there?" Steve asked, "I mean, my car only fits five.. technically four since I'll be driving." He said, taking a bite of his breakfast as he waited for an answer. "We all have our bikes so we don't need a ride, we just came to get you guys up to join us." Lucas replied. "But you could take the cooler in you car since that would be alot easier than one of us trying to hold it on a bike." Will added. Eddie nodded, mouth full of food, he looked at Steve, "Sounds good to me.." He mumbled. Steve chuckled and shook his head, "Yeah okay that's fine." As Eddie & Steve finished their food, Steve gathered the plates and walked to the kitchen and then headed back to Eddie's room telling the others he was going to get ready. Eddie leaned his body to the side to watch as Steve walked away, clearly checking him out in front of everyone.. He leaned back to his original position, smirking cheekily as he looked at the rest of the gang who he now noticed was staring at him. "What?" He said abruptly. "Please tell me you guys aren't gonna be fawning all over each other like this from now on..?" Mike said blatantly, that same repulsed look on his face. His demeanor struck Eddie as how you'd react to seeing your parents being affectionate and this realization made him audibly laugh at the question. Mike looked on, waiting for an actual response, "Well?.." He pressed further. Eddie moved to sit on his knees, he leaned across the coffee table leering at Mike, a mischievous grin spread across his face making Mike scoot back into his seat to get some space, the other kids following suit as Eddie's gaze shifted between all of them now. "Is it making you uncomfortable, Wheeler?..
Can you not stomach the thought of me ravishing your beloved Steve?" He asked, causing Mike to roll his eyes. "I really don't couldn't care less, I just wish you'd tone it down a bit.. Nobody wants to hear about what you guys do or see you groping each other.. you're being gross." Mike replied. Eddie tilted his head to the side, his grin growing wider showing he was clearly enjoying taunting them, "No no little man, if I wanted to be 'gross' and tell you about what we do, I would've told you about how I had him *begging* me not to stop last night.." He chuckled, all of the younger teens grimacing, clearly uncomfortable. Except Will who was quietly giggling as he found Eddie's antics quite entertaining. "..As a matter of fact, you'd all be very surprised at how eager and lecherous dear old Steve is.. He just can't seem to get enough of me. I mean, would you believe I had to fuck him three times last night just to get a little rest?" Eddie smiled, watching as the faces of all the kids showed how grossed out they were, which just proved his theory about them considering Steve like a parent. He found it hilarious.

Before any of them could utter a word, Steve walked back into the living room, completely oblivious to the conversation that had taken place in his absense. He was now fully dressed in his clothes from the day prior.. He noticed everyone looking at him,
everyone but Eddie having an odd look on their faces and Eddie just smiling. "What's wrong?" He asked, removing his sunglasses.
"Not a thing, big boy.." Eddie cocked his head to the side and smirked, "You gonna swim in blue jeans?" He asked jokingly.
"Well I didn't exactly bring a suitcase with me, and I couldn't find anything in your pig pen of a room so I'm gonna have to swing by my house and pick up some shorts or something." He replied as he put his sunglasses back on. "Fair enough." Eddie replied,
standing up from the floor and walking down the hall, "I may have and extra pair somewhere, I'll go look.." He said as he disappeared into his bedroom. The kids all still staring at Steve, he threw his arms up and shouted "What?! Why are you all looking at me like that?" Dustin shook his head and started walking out the door to wait outside until everyone was ready to leave, the other kids following behind not saying a word as they walked out. Mike was the last one to walk out, looking up at Steve as he headed out the door, "You guys are sick." He said as he made his way outside. Steve was utterly confused, "I..What is going on?"
He mumbled to himself as he turned to start walking back into Eddie's room, "What did you say to them?" He shouted as he made his way down the hall.. "I didn't say a thing, I don't know what you're talking about sweetheart." Eddie could be heard shouting back.
