Still Not Over Tommy Parading Billy In Front Of Steve Like He Was Flirting With The Rebound Fling In

Still not over Tommy parading Billy in front of Steve like he was flirting with the rebound fling in front of the ex

I’m 💀

this tweet has been plaguing me since i first saw it this concept is haunting me so i need you guys to walk with me here. season five episode one starts, and it's a typical first episode of a stranger things season. the gang is attempting to adjust to a new normal, meanwhile a new upside down evil is growing. but the audience realizes something's missing. dustin isn't there. the party starts investigating and they call dustin over the radio to try and loop him in, but they never get an answer. will insists they just need to give him some time, but it gets to the point where they need to get dustin off the bench, since with max in the hospital still they're already one man down. they show up at his house and bang on the door until dustin answers. when he does, he's acting weird. he's not looking at any of them, just down at his feet, and when he does looks up he looks over their shoulders. eventually dustin gives them a flimsy excuse and shoves them out the door. the party go to family video next and pesters steve to go check on dustin. steve complains at first, but he's also genuinely worried about dustin so after minimal begging he caves and leaves work early to go over to the henderson house. dustin opens the door quicker for steve then he did for the kids, and steve is about to chew dustin out for making everyone worry but stops suddenly, his eyes wide and mouth hanging open in shock. standing next to dustin, looking beat up and bloody and a little worse for wear, is eddie. dustin looks from the expression on steve's face to eddie and back to steve and whispers "you can see him too?"

steve gets roped into playing a session of dnd & jokingly calls eddie “eddie the fair” since he claims that because eddie isn’t banished anymore, so he needs a new title and dustin makes a fake gagging noise after staring in shock briefly and eddie is just. staring. at steve. this happens before they’re together and it throws eddie even deeper into his gay crisis tm  it’s steve’s revenge for the big boy comment

#He’s the big brother she deserved

I have read so many Steddie fics in the days since I watched S4 of Stranger Things, and I have recognized a collection of tropes that are common throughout a lot of them that I LOVE:

- Steve having a crisis while at work with Robin

- Them getting high together

- Steve innocently asking what Eddie's handkerchief means

- Eddie and Robin being besties

- Eddie asking to suck Steve off as their first sexual experience and then Steve barely touching Eddie afterwards before he cums

- Steve's bi awakening being Billy Hargrove

- Steve having know he was bi since he was young but never having a word for it

- Eddie's uncle being gay and cool

- Eddie coming to Family Video solely to flirt with Steve

- Eddie calling Steve "King Steve" and using a lot of old English when talking to him
