    Summary

    Eddie wonders if this is the usual Steve Harrington treatment. If the girls who came before him have laid in this spot, been kissed up and down both sides of their neck before finally getting one on the mouth. If those girls giggled their way through small talk first, or came right up here for the main event.

    He hopes not. He hopes that maybe he's different. He hopes that he and Steve have skipped the small talk simply because there's no more small talk left. That the weeks of small talk in the beginning, followed by months of far bigger talk, eliminated the need for whatever shallow conversations typically prelude this part.

    or

    Steve and Eddie's first date.

    Summary

    "I'm mad that you pretended I'm your friend," Robin bursts, her voice too loud. She stares at Nancy, and Nancy can see the way her eyes are shining, she can see how hurt Robin is, but Robin doesn't get it. "I'm mad that you fucked with me for so long, I thought you liked me."

    "I do like you," Nancy nearly shouts. Robin just stares at her.

    or: inspired by the dialogue prompts “Uh, how about all of the above?” and “You left your diary in the library and I had to read some of it to figure out who you were…”

    Summary

    And sure, Steve had never paid much attention to Eddie in school, but he can’t recall ever seeing him interact with any girls on a romantic level. Chalk it up to Eddie’s reputation - his freakiness, his propensity for repeating senior year, his nerdy dragon club. Not really things that most girls are looking for. But now, here, there’s no reputation, no preconceived notions. He’s just Eddie. Eddie with the thousand-watt smile, Eddie with the long brown hair and the biggest, darkest eyes. Eddie who talks not only with his hands but with his whole body, who imbues so much energy into whatever space he occupies. It makes total sense, here and now, that he’s getting so much attention. He’s magnetic, and even Steve is having trouble looking away.

    or, Steve, Eddie, and Robin go to a bar.
