Welcome to the island of misfit toys, let's go be psychos together! |27|
Eddie’s laying in his room at Steve’s, recovering, lifts up his shirt.
Eddie: We match.
Steve: *sarcastically* Yeah, in the Upside Down, I think that means we’re married.
Wayne: You should know that if you’re going to be his husband that he eats five times a day, and he sometimes digs into the trash.
Eddie: That was one time!
Wayne: It was five times, and you were high every time. It’s not my problem anymore. No longer will I have to find him digging in the trash. It’s yours now, son. You’re married to a raccoon.
He walked out of the room.
Eddie: He’s so dramatic. It was once.
Steve: If I find you digging into the trash, I’m divorcing you.
Eddie: Good luck removing the wedding bat bite scar.
Steve: You know, Johnathan gives Nancy flowers all the time, I wish you’d do that too.
Eddie: Okay.
-later-
Eddie: -Gives Johnathan flowers-
Johnathan: ?? Thank? You??
Eddie: I am just as confused as you are.
actually, i think it’s a felony
Robin: Cats or dogs?
Steve: Dogs! Definitely dogs, they’re cute and cuddly and more loyal than cats!
Eddie: Well, I wouldn’t say that.
Steve: they definitely are!
Eddie: they might be friendly, but at least a cat won’t tell the police where you hide your drugs!
Robin: ohhhh, cats 1 : dogs 0
if i play do i get one of those cool t-shirts?
Flight Attendant: Now before we take off, please ensure that all small items are secured!
Eddie {6’0”}: *Looks at Billy {5’9”?}*
Billy: What?
Steve {5’11”}: *Whispers* Do you feel safe?
Billy: I will hit you!
Steve: Whatever happened to the concept of less is more?
Eddie: But if less is more, then just think of how much more ‘more’ will be!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Eddie: Are you good?
Steve: In what sense?
Eddie: Generally.
Steve: Oh, definitely not.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Eddie: You’re giving me a sticker?
Steve: Not just a sticker. That is a sticker of a kitty saying “me-wow!”
Eddie: I’m not a preschooler.
Steve: Fine, I’ll take it back-
Eddie: I earned this, back off!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Steve: I love you.
Eddie: How many people have you said that to?
Steve: Everyone.
Eddie: What?
Steve: I told everyone that I love you.
Eddie, on the floor, crying: You sLut.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Eddie: *Pulls a glass a water from out of nowhere*
Steve: Where did you get that?
Eddie: My pocket.
Steve: How do you keep a glass of water in your pocket?
Eddie: Skills.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Steve: Eddie likes to win. When he was 8, a little Club Scout friend of his bragged they could sell the most cookies.
Steve: Damned if Eddie didn’t walk the neighborhood till he got blisters on his feet, and won by 10 boxes.
Steve: Best part is, Eddie wasn’t even a Club Scout.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Steve: You are the love of my life and I would do anything within reason to make you happy.
Eddie: I would be happy if you ate, stayed hydrated and got a reasonable amount of sleep.
Steve: I said within reason, Eddie. How about I murder that guy?
Eddie: So murder is in reason but proper self care isn’t?
Steve: Well, duh. What kind of question is that?
~~~~~~~~~~~
Eddie: If you spell skeletons backwards, it still spells skeletons.
Steve, deadpan: Wow, I can’t wait for Halloween to see some snoteleks.
Eddie: Damnit man, I thought you were dyslexic.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Eddie: The real secret to immortality? Not dying. You want to be immortal? Okay, that’s easy. Just don’t die. That’s it. Refuse to die. There you go.
Steve: But how-
Eddie, ignoring him: “But how”, you may ask. Well, easy. Just don’t do it. Refuse to. Say “no thanks”.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Steve: I need life advice.
Eddie, sipping Gatorade and eating raw cookie dough: You came to the right person.
Robin: “How’s Eddie dealing with his PTSD?”
Steve: “Ah, he’s doing his best. His PTSD-”
Eddie: [Out of nowhere] “My what?”
Steve: “We’re talking about your PT-”
Eddie: “My what?”
Steve: “I’m not calling it that.”
Eddie: “…”
Steve: [Sighs] “He’s working on his Spicy Deja Vu.”
[Robin is in the kitchen and she hears a crash from the living room]
Robin, running into the living room: WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED HERE?!?!
Dustin, looking at the broken TV screen and the remote on the floor: I was trying to throw the remote onto the TV stand!
Robin: And Steve didn’t stop you?!
Dustin, pointing at a sleeping Steve: He’s been asleep for the past three hours.
Eddie, walking in, oblivious to the situation: Hey guys-
Eddie, realizing: Wait, is the TV broken? Why?!
Robin, pointing at Dustin: He threw the remote onto the TV stand.
Eddie: Come on! That’s the 5th time this week and it’s 2 in the morning on a Tuesday!
Steve, waking up to see the situation: *yawns* How long was I out?
Steve, seeing the broken TV: OH GOSH NOT AGAIN! DUSTIN, I TOLD YOU NOT TO!
Dustin: You were asleep! And I always take a window of opportunity when I see it!
Robin and Eddie, in unison: But you broke the-
Dustin: My work here is done. If anyone asks, I was never. *dashes out of the living room*

I don’t have a catchy name for my favorite steddie trope, but it’s essentially “dammit now I’m in love with you”
Eddie thinks Steve is hot, because duh, he has eyes. But but it’s a superficial thing until The Incident. Steve does one thing, or Eddie discovers something about Steve, and suddenly his entire understanding of him is blown up and Eddie realizes Steve is his perfect man.
Example:
Eddie, to himself: wow, I’d sure love a guy who’s sensitive, good with kids, a big dork, and can slam me down big style. but where am I gonna find a guy like that?
Steve: hey Robin, I’ll be over later to talk about our feelings and be a really good friend to you after I’m done going out of my way for the kids and being a loving older brother figure. I’m endearingly supportive of their interests and secretly like nerdy stuff more than people would think
Robin: no problem Steve! I’m really excited to talk about your bisexual awakening and how you’re looking for genuine love and also to slam someone down big style
Eddie, feeling feral love goblin mode activating: oh no….
Steve: haha, yep! I sure am a real romantic looking to treat someone of any gender right and slam them down big style, in a very loving way. now I’ve gotta take off my shirt real quick for plot purposes and make a dorky joke
Eddie, brain rewired forever: dammit, now I’m in love with you
