monster dick. [ obviously worth repeating again. ]that's a fucking great title for a song.
[ not that he'd write an ode to steve's dick that he'd sing in public---- wait, no scratch that. he definitely would if he could make it subtle enough. tucking that one way for later. yup. ]the dark side of the high school experience, man. don't sweat it. it's been years.
[ except eddie's still getting his van messed with and isn't exactly safe in hawkins but, hey, those bullies are gone. ]fluffy? what am i? a poodle?
[ don't you think it, steven. even if eddie keeps going with this bit like a kid who can't help himself around a bowl of candy. ]what's the appropriate level of scruff? are you going to judge me and try to let me win best in show next time i give myself a trim?
You're not a poodle. But you are fluffy. I stand by that.
( especially after they fool around, something about the static and sweat makes Eddie's hair go completely mental. not that Steve is complaining, the fact his fingers make an obvious fingerprint is actually kinda hot. )
How about leave me enough to pull on when you're being a brat? That should do.
Keep that up and I'm bringing you back tootsie rolls. My dad calls my mom that when he's being an asshole.
takes a fluffy guy to know a fluffy guy.[ that's totally how it works according to the rules that eddie made up a few moments ago 😤 ]
i'm the brat? those are fighting words, man. [ but yeah, fine, he'll definitely leave enough for hair pulling when that's his weakness. ]you're lucky i'm into the hair pulling.
duuuuuuude. tootsie rolls? no. wow. and here i thought you liked me.
( no comment on how fluffy he can get when Eddie drags him back into a bed after a shower and he misses his damp-not-wet window. those are his worst hair days 😭 )
You're definitely a brat, sometimes. It's not a bad thing, but it definitely is a thing. ( Steve in fact quite enjoys when Eddie grins like a fucking goblin and intentionally does something to get a rise out of him — be it a shine of his teeth or his hand going slower, just to draw as many desperate noises out of him as he can. Steve is into the brat thing, he is, way more than he ever thought he'd be! but he's also into getting a handful of Eddie's hair and tugging if he's teasing too much. )
That's the point, smartass. Don't call me dear. ( Steve can tell when he's veered slightly too close to being a dick, so, he relents slightly. ) Please. It's... I dunno. I don't like it.
( that's a little more honest, at least, if still a little abrasive. )
styled in a pretty hot fluffy way. [ he may drag steve to bed because he's caught on that there's a way to get that extra fluffy look. ]
a thing you like, big boy?[ that's more interesting, actually, because eddie's very aware that steve likes it when he riles him up, gets him desperate but he also likes getting steve to admit things. sure, stuff about when they mess around is kind of a safe space, but it's practice for the big shit. which is probably not something just friends do but, well, he's noticed just how much steve holds in and that's not a fucking good thing.
so. baby steps.
baby steps that lead to shit like this. eddie will even ignore the whole smartass thing right now! ]okay, no dear. sorry. too much like your dad?
You're ridiculous. ( FLUFFY IS SO NOT THE VIBE HE'S GOING FOR, EDDIE!!! but the fact Eddie likes it does make it harder to be entirely annoyed by the suggestion. hot cancels out the fluffy. )
Yes, I like it. Maybe because you get this smug little look on your face when you do it, because you know you're about to drive me absolutely crazy. ( there, that was a confession of what he feels and thinks, right??? baby steps! horny baby steps. ...bad phrasing
and, it is weird to talk about what he likes, and what he doesn't like, at the same time. ) He always says it when he's being a dick. You know? She asks him to do something and he says, yes dear, like he's listening, but he's not.
a compliment, my leige.[ is someone aware he's won? yep.
about the fluff and the horniness. he's definitely grinning like a devilish little imp at the laundry mat and looking more insane than the guy who's blasting wham! still and torturing eddie's poor ear drums. ]i'm developing a knack for it. you know how to work me up too, stevie, so i gotta keep the playing field even.
[ that's a sports thing, right? how sports people talk. ]
ah, shit. yeah, that's a huge dick move on his part. i didn't mean it like that.
( Steve would usually complain. about the my leige thing. he's not a king of anything thee days — was he really a king back in his heyday, anyway? king of nothing. king of bullshit.
but Eddie is so ridiculous and dramatic and obsessed with lord of the rings, it burns less from him.
(steve definitely prefers big boy, or the recently dropped baby, a lot more than my leige.) )
I like to think I do. ( it's not something that came to him instantly. trying to turn another guy on. in the end, they have definitely figured it out. and keeping mind of what Eddie likes makes it easy to use his own turn ons against him. not that Eddie has ever complained! )
I know you didn't. I just... I don't like it, that's all. You got anything like that? Shit I should avoid saying?
i'm not complaining.[ weren't you just complaining about not being able to sit properly, eddie? huh??? ]i'm also pretty sure i scored the jackpot here.
then i won't say it. easy peasy. [ the follow up question is more complicated. so it takes a while for eddie to type something out here. he doesn't really think steve would even joke about the shit that puts eddie off. ]not really? i mean there's shit but i don't think you're planning to go back to high school nicknames?
( this feels like a lose lose situation. if Steve is honest, he doesn't have any clue what people called Eddie in high school. it's not like they were ever close! and yet, it feels kinda bad to admit, somehow. )
I don't really know what people called you, Ed. Unless... you mean the freak, thing? That's all I can remember.
[ not actually the worst but that's the one eddie had been thinking of. ]that's one on the list. but like i said, i don't think it'll be a problem.
you're welcome to see if you can get me to veto any ridiculous pet names.[ that kind of sounds like a more fun challenge and a better turn to the conversation than thinking of shitty high school moments. ]
I'll keep that in mind. I think I've got it covered as it is. ( how many petnames can you give your ROOMMATE, anyway??? huh???? god this has all gotten so far out of hand!! ) I gotta focus on the shopping or it'll never get done, all right? Give me an hour or two, and I'll come get you.
two hours? just remember it's just the two of us and not the whole army of kiddos.[ which, to be fair, probably does require two hours of shopping to get the right stuff. ]see ya soon, stevie. i'll be here, folding laundry and slowly forgetting any words that aren't a line from 'wake me up before you go go!'
[ but hey! folding laundry. what an improvement from shoving it right back in the hamper all crinkled and shit. ]
An hour or two, that means probably somewhere in the middle. I'm making you do the errands next time, if you think that is too long.
( it does take awhile, even if they're living out of a van right now! geez, mr. impatient!! ...though, probably Steve will buckle up and get his ass in gear, now, cuz he's a sucker.
and he's definitely gonna do it humming Wham! now, so, nice going, Eddie. )
