Something Woke Dustin In The Middle Of The Night.

Something woke Dustin in the middle of the night.

He was at Steve’s house since his mom was out of town and Steve had- because he followed Dustin’s mom’s rules to the letter- made Dustin go to bed at a reasonable hour because it was a school night.

It must have been some time because he had been asleep for long enough to have a lengthy dream about Lucas and Will dueling with swords made of dragon tails.

Dustin made his way downstairs without turning any light on to look for the source of the sound. He was familiar enough with Steve’s house to navigate it by moonlight alone.

He stopped before he made it to the kitchen.

The floor creaked underfoot and something in the kitchen crashed. “Shit!” Steve said. “Dustin?”

“Um, no?”

I swear, mom, I am going to work on my WIP.

Eddie: Hunt the freak, right?

Steve: Sorry, I left my hearing aide at home. Did you say 'fuck the freak?'

Robin: *under her breath* Oh my God, you deaf slut.

Eddie: . . .Yes, yes, I did.

Steve: Can I be first in line?

Robin: 🤦‍♀️

Eddie: *slapping his thighs* I've decided that I would be much safer at Harrington's house. Let's go!

Robin: Hey.

Eddie: Hey?

Robin: I can't sleep :/ 

Eddie: I can. Goodnight

Ok so like I’m exhausted- and I just really need to get this idea off my chest.

But a streamer au. Obviously modern, where Steve can’t hear anything because he accidentally dropped his hearing aids in the toilet. (Something real goofy and stupid) and he’s friends with popular streamer Dustin Henderson (who plays all sorts of games) not only is Steve friends with him but he’s friends with a few other streamers. Though they all want to include Steve in on their Minecraft server, because they know that when he has his hearing back he’ll be on there all the time talking to them. That and he also enjoys building things with Robin and just wander around the world. So they all get this server set up and start streaming. Some newer streamers join as well that Steve doesn’t know but the others know, and Steve has quickly become a fan favorite.

They are roleplaying a DnD campaign in Minecraft, when Steve’s character just pops out of no where doing the randomest things, at this point he even has lore. He’s a mute character who can only talk through messages. Everyone just loves Steve. He’s made numerous friends, and has helped build a lot of things. And no one in chat as ever seen or heard him. Though he is always in Eddie Munson’s streams constantly. Eddie is a older streamer, but wasn’t in on the fact that Steve can hear he just needs hearing aids. So when Steve explains he’s mostly deaf he just goes on about his day like normal. Though now typing book length messages to Steve. (Every streamer can see these messages, Eddie enjoys talking there so his chat can see what Steve’s saying and it’s easier to read off the same screen instead of having to constantly switch to discord) at this point Steve and Eddie are thick as thief’s.

Eddie’s the chaotic one and Steve is the tame one, and their videos together are hilarious. Though when Steve finally gets his hearing aids he’s excited to finally be able to talk to his new friend. He clicks in and joins the voice chat where you can only hear each other when you are actually close to each other in game. (Proximity) so when Eddie comes on and finds Steve he’s talking to his chat, not really caring about muting his mic because Steve can’t hear it. And he doesn’t stream.

And Steve his beaming and happy because he can finally hear Eddie’s voice. His hearing aids are a lot better then the last ones and he isn’t as muffled anymore. He stays silent, because he’s shy. And he tags along with Eddie. Who’s now changing his skin back and forth and talking to chat still. Steve hasn’t said anything. He’s waiting.

“Alright fine fine, I’ll ask Steve if he likes the maid out fit or the bunny suit.” Is heard right before aggressive typing begins.

Steve answers without thinking, and sounds really soft. “Maid Outfit.”

And his first words spoken to Eddie are maid outfit. And the timing is hilarious because he’s pretty sure Eddie has flat lined.

“Also, meant to ask why are our beds pushed together?” Steve asks.

Just I want a really cute au like this. And not weird.

Or instead of the maid outfit, chat is telling Eddie to give Steve his daily kiss. (It’s not he just moves forward and hits Steve’s Minecraft character) which has always confused steve until he hears. “Fine daily smooch for the Stevie boo” (Eddie has given him nicknames?) and just smacks Steve’s character making him loose a heart.

“Ow. That’s why you keep hitting me? For kisses? Eddie I gave you cake, we share a house together and you decided smacking my character upside the head was the equivalent to kissing? You could have just given me flowers dude!”

(Like all of the possibilities are endless)

Shout out to everyone who is just so tired So so exhausted So very very tired so very fatigued so sleepy and tired So

Steve: Young adulthood is extremely lonely but also wildly freeing. I've gotten coffee at three different cafes today
