Steve often steps in as Robin's “boyfriend” when random dudes won't leave her alone.
Eddie and the Party are long used to this--Steve regularly does the Big Brother act for the kids themselves when someone is being obnoxious towards them.Â
(The guy moms people better than most moms do, and somehow still manages to pull off “cool guy” vibes while doing it, because life absolutely has its favorites.)Â
Thing is, Eddie wasn't expecting all that to extend to HIM--and he absolutely in his wildest dreams did not expect Steve to go the boyfriend route.Â
Particularly not at the very first gay bar he, Robin and Steve have ever gone to together, where Eddie happens to run chest first into his first and last regular hookup--an older guy who isn’t taking no for an answer.Â
That Steve picked up on Eddie being uncomfortable is one thing, but to have him pop his polo collar, stride over and drop a possessive arm over Eddie’s shoulder’s, a hint of King Steve coming through as he casually dismisses the guy like he’s nothing is insane, and if Eddie didn’t have a raging crush before, he absolutely has one now.
#no thoughts, just Dustin and his two dads.
A parallel I haven't seen much is Steve Harrington and the Flashlights.
At the Creel House, everyone is holding flashlights and Steve asks 'Where'd everyone get those?' and Dustin's reply is 'Do you need to be told everything? You're not a child.' Before he hands him his backpack and tells him there's one in the pocket.
No one thought beforehand to check Steve had a flashlight or ask him, he's the one that has to ask, and even then he only asks where they got them (which is honestly a fair question because they were all at the wheeler house before this and apparently the wheelers had 4-6 flashlights sitting around?) and the response he gets is a sarcastic insult. He isn't even given a flashlight, just told where to get one himself.
Cut to the boat scene and Steve preparing to swim to the gate. Eddie immediately begins pulling out a plastic bag he can empty and wrap the flashlight for Steve to use. And just gives it to him.
Eddie doesn't ask if he needs one, he just sees what Steve is about to do and supports him, no questions asked. He knows he's going into a dark lake so he finds a way Steve can use a flashlight underwater and gives it to him. There's no sarcastic comments, no condescending explanation, no disagreeing with him, he just hands him the flashlight with a 'Good Luck'
It is such a big example of the difference in the way Steve gets treated by Eddie compared to the others. And Eddie continues to treat him that way. Supports him no questions asked. Sees he's vulnerable in a hostile environment, here's my vest, no questions asked. Steve doesn't ask about Dustin but Eddie tells him 'Kid worships you', Steve doesn't talk about Nancy but Eddie tells him she loves him. He never questions Steve's ability or treats him like a dumb jock, instead 'Harrington's got her' and 'Make him pay'. Just support and trust.
what's all this then?
my gay ass just assumed crystal was experiencing beautiful lesbian love
a stranger things spin off that’s similar to marvel’s “what if…” but it’s live action and it’s just all our gay ships being canon in a parallel universe
Perpetually thinking about how they gave God boyfriends and girlfriends but they can’t make some dude from Kansas gay for an angel
