Summary

The gang decide they all deserve a break and head to Steve's family beach house for a week, featuring copious amounts of fluff, found family bonding, blurring (or completely ignoring) the line between platonic and romantic, and bullying being considered flirting.

Summary
Steve doesn’t know what to do with that. He doesn’t know what to do with any of this. If he had been told a year before that he’d be spending his twenty-first birthday having a heart-to-heart with Eddie Munson on his living room floor, that he’d be catching himself lingering on shit like the feel of Eddie’s leg against his or the way his fingers look wrapped loosely around the fork as he takes another bite out of Steve’s birthday cake, Steve wouldn’t have believed it.
He likes Eddie, the unpredictability of him, the pendulum-swing between his penchant for dramatics and the quiet, introspective glimpses Steve catches when he lets his guard down. It’s intoxicating in a way he never expected, in a way he’s a little scared to think about for more than a few seconds at a time.

Summary
“Look, I’m just asking, okay? Not– I don't mean anything by it. But, uh.” His eyes darted back and forth, then he leaned in close to Steve. Steve had gotten used to that, kind of. The guy had no concept of personal space. “Are you flagging?” Eddie finally finished.
Steve shook his head slowly, eyes narrowed. He had no idea what that meant. He had no answer. “What?”
Eddie leaned away from Steve, facing forward again and nodding. “Okay, got it. That answers my question. Carry on.”

Summary
It was suddenly unbearably hot—but that was just the weather, Steve told himself as he bent his neck to look at Eddie.
“Now,” Eddie started, his hand falling with solemnity on Steve’s thigh to underline the importance of what he was about to say. “Do I look like someone who might enjoy listening to a single note of Dancing Queen? Please, be honest, because if the answer is yes, I need to make drastic changes to my appearance.”

Summary
Steve is absolutely convinced Eddie is trying to steal his place. First, Eddie had won Dustin over with his D&D knowledge, and now he's put his weird charm all over Robin too. Steve's not sure when it started, but after everything with Vecna, Eddie started visiting the Family Video every day to talk with Robin. He'd come in after school at 3:20, pick a B-rate horror movie, and then would whisper with Robin at the counter. Steve could understand them being close because of everything they went through, but he couldn't understand why Eddie had to stare at him while he talked with her. It was like Eddie was trying to rub it in that everyone liked him more.
Alternative title: Rob Lowe in The Outsiders continues to be a gay litmus test to this day.
