were we just kids, just starting out
actual deleted footage of stranger things season 4 trust me guys
Go to therapy or read another fan fiction of your favorite fictional character?
Having thoughts of The Party being touchy as all fuck after everything.
Like you cannot enter nor leave any kind of hang out without a hug, high-five, pat, or anything from everyone you were hanging out with.
And then, suddenly, you arenβt able to leave without a kiss or hug of some kind from Steve.
It started after the bullshit that was the Starcourt Mall. The kids were leaving Steveβs house from a DnD session maybe 2 months before the Byers left for Cali.
Dustin was taking forever to pull his shoes on and get out the house to his moms car and everyone was complaining. It was one of those rare times where Steve wasnβt the one carting them all aroundβ they all had their own rides.
Dustin got his shoes on and Steve handed him his bag andβ without thinkingβ pressed a kiss to the top of his hat before waving him out the door.
The rest of the kids are silent until Mike speaks up bitchily βwhat about us, asshole?β
Steve has no idea what they mean until El points to her head with a grin. Steve deals out head and forehead kisses for everyone and waves them off to their respective rides.
And then it justβ sticks. At first itβs with just the kids whenever he sees them. Heβll usually greet them with a hug or an exasperated sigh and then say goodbye with a kiss to their foreheads.
Not even Mike complains. This is the kind of shit he never got while growing upβ might as well make the best of it.
And then it migrates to Robin as well, and the Nancy is joining in on the hugs (theyβre still too awkward for the kisses but the hugs are enough for now).
And Steve never holds back, not even in public. Again, no one complains.
And thatβs how Hellfire finds out about the kissing arrangement (that might be the title of this if I make it an actual fic). They watch as Steve presses a forehead kiss to Mike, Lucas, and Dustin before waving them off and then presses a kiss to Maxβs head and giving her a tight hug.
The guys try to make fun of the kids for it but none of them are embarrassed.
βItβs Steve, dude. Heβs like a mom.β
βThe kisses are actually really comforting.β
βItβs a Party thing.β
And then the fuckery of 1986 and Vecna happens and suddenly Eddieβs in on the hugs and pats and high-fives.
And then.
And then.
Heβs in on the kisses.
Steve doles out the kisses like usual one night after Hellfire and gives one to everyoneβ including Eddie.
And Eddie panics and gives Steve one right back.
And then the kids are going feral about wanting to give Steve a kiss too.
And Eddie leaves during the chaos.
And then they donβt talk about it.
Until Steve and Eddie do it again.
And the kids accept is as the new normal; you have to give Steve a kiss back.
And then Steve and Eddie have an excuse to kiss each other on the foreheads and cheeks and noses.
One night theyβre hanging out, just the two of them at the trailer after Wayne left for work.
Steve had greeted Eddie with a tight hug the moment heβd gotten in the trailer. Eddie had squeezed back just as tight if not tighter.
Steve was getting ready to leave, and on instinct leant in to kiss Eddie, but Eddie was also leaning in to kiss Steve. So they meet in the middle and accidentally kiss on the lips.
And then the new normal for Steve and Eddie is kissing on the lips goodbye.
Idk, just Steve being a very touchy feely person makes me so happy
