Oh, it's a Ghostbusters thing. I know Ghostbusters. I mean, I know the song. Everybody knows the song.
( it's catchy!! Steve's favorite sort of music is the catchy kind, songs that stick in your head. and probably he has seen Ghostbusters, Steve just pays so little attention to a movie, it's remarkable he remembers enough about Return of the Jedi to refer to it as the "one with the teddy bears". )
Thanks for making me sound like a piece of jerky, that's nice. And yeah, I told you, didn't I? Feels like that happened a lifetime ago.
( and it's barely been a year. wow. time is fucked up, isn't it? staring at that picture, he can almost remember the guy he was then. almost. before the Russians, striking out with every girl that came in for the scoop of the day, a dead end guy at a dead end job. he's at least slightly better off than the Steve in that picture. if only because he's got a better job, and isn't quite as string-bean-y. though, looking at that picture, and the goddamn uniform...
well that's more thigh than he remembered flashing, is all. )
Oh, and, the shorts were... Uh. Longer. Longer than that. Usually. It was worse when I sat down.
( DO STRAIGHT GUYS ALSO INSIST ABOUT THE APPROPRIATE LENGTH OF THEIR SHORTS??? FUCK. at least Eddie being a (charming, unfortunately funny) asshole is a distraction from his own upper thigh. )
You're the goddamn worst, you know that? Just for that, now it's only two days to convince me I need to learn guitar.
you know now that i think about it you're... the ghostbusters "when there's something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call" you, probably. i mean, no one calls you because everyone in this town is clueless but it's been you guys like the last four times shit's gotten weird in hawkins
[ apparently eddie does not include himself in the little ghostbusters crew. one attempt at saving the world is not enough to qualify, apparently! ]
at least jerky's good? people wouldn't pay so much for it if they didn't like it
[ god, he needs to shut the hell up. what does that even mean? ]
you don't have to justify your little shorts to me, harrington i'm not gonna judge you for showing a little skin gotta make those tips somehow :)
[ this is the worst. ]
hold on, is that supposed to be a threat? two days is plenty of time hell, all i need is two hours
[ maybe not to teach steve anything impressive, but two hours is enough time to get him hooked on it. eddie's convinced he could pull it off. somehow. ]
If we're the Ghostbusters, who is Bill Murray? He's the only one I remember.
( is it Dustin? oh, god. he'd be so insufferable, if he got to be Bill Murray. and yep, Steve did not even know the half of how worst Eddie could be. first he's dried out meat, and now he chose barely-there shorts for financial compensation?? )
I didn't pick the goddamn shorts, man! And we never even got many tips. We had three dollars to split, tops, and it blew up too. God, that job sucked. Thanks a lot, Dad. Learned so much from that one.
( probably hitting on every girl that walked into the place actively worked against the tip jar, but, shh )
Two hours isn't enough time to learn anything, are you crazy? Not enough time for me, anyway.
[ eddie almost says that steve can be stay puft, but he's teased him about the scoops uniform enough as it is. definitely still changing steve's contact pic in his phone though, that's non-negotiable. ]
two hours is enough time to convince you that you want more
We'll see. Considering how well I played drums, pretty sure the temporary tattoos are as close to metal as I'm gonna get.
Oh yeah. Guess I should get back to it, huh? ( swimming isn't gonna reclaim itself, now is it? so, back to the grind, if he wants to make good on that summer job idea. )
Let me know when you want to do this guitar thing, I'll show up.

[ time. more time to learn. how to play guitar. ]
how's the swimming going
wrap here or on yours, maybe?? 🎀
Date: 2022-08-04 05:27 am (UTC)How about we don't tell him that, his ego is bad enough.
( Steve isn't Stay Puft, he's the slightly stupid useless hot guy from the all ladies reboot, and we love that for him )
