Summary
Hey, babe …
It takes Robin only a minute to respond, and apparently she can read his mood even through text message.
Hey, love! What’s wrong?
The terrace seems weirdly quiet and empty without Eddie’s presence. Eddie, who is all loud and wild on the outside, but kind and considerate on the inside. Who will gladly reopen the scars of his own past to make a sad little boy feel better. Who calls Steve cute, and a softie, and thinks his son is the greatest kid in the world.
Steve sighs and runs a hand through his hair. He digs his fingers into the bridge of his nose so hard his nails leave little indents in the sensitive skin there. Then, he lets out a heavy breath, types and hits send before he can overthink it for too long.
I think I’m fucked.

The one in which Steve Harrington, overtired and over-stressed businessman and single dad, hires Eddie Munson as a nanny.Series

Summary
Eddie spares Steve a lazy wave, sliding into the spot next to Dustin to assess the damage. Like it's perfectly natural. Like they belong together. His son. The man he's in love with.
“You'll be fine,” Eddie mutters, voice fond. “No real damage done.”
Dustin scoffs, cradling his finger. “Still hurts.”
“I meant the guitar, dipshit.”

Summary
Steve takes a moment to let this sink in. Here they are. The man he loves and him, with the family they chose downstairs, ready to build a future together.
“Yeah,” he breathes. “Here we are, I guess.”
“So, what d’you say?” Eddie hums, lifting their entwined hands to kiss Steve’s knuckles. “You wanna get married?”

Summary
“Eds? I'm not leaving, just so you know.”
For a few seconds, everything stays silent. Then, something shuffles and footsteps approach. The lock clicks, but the door doesn't open. When Steve steps into the tiny room, Eddie is already back in his desk chair, elbows bracketed on his knees, head almost level with his hands. He's holding something. A book.
A familiar mix of feelings stirs in Steve's guts. Alarm. Worry. The overwhelming need to find out who hurt his husband and slowly tear them limb from limb.

Summary
"Morning," Steve smiles. Something in Eddie’s pocket vibrates. "That your phone or are you happy to see me?"
"How 'bout both?" Eddie takes the mug from his hands and carefully sets it on the ground, then presses Steve up against the side of the Winnebago and proceeds to kiss him breathless.
"Did you know," he mumbles against Steve's lips, voice sultry and low, "that they have the world's largest artichoke near here?"

Summary
Eddie gapes down at him, like a fish out of water.
"You wanna have a baby," he says flatly. "At our age?"
"Why not?" Steve raises a challenging eyebrow even as he feels himself flush self-consciously. "I thought you were still young and hip in spirit."
Eddie boops him on the nose. "Yeah, in spirit, Stevie. My body is very much that of a fourty-three year old junk food addict who is just done raising one kid and needs his beauty sleep. And speaking of the kid we have, be careful what you wish for. We may just become granddads in the foreseeable future."
Steve lets his forehead sag against Eddie’s chest and feels how it rumbles with laughter. "Please don't talk about Dustin having kids, you'll make me feel old."
One of Eddie’s hands finds the nape of his neck and starts toying with his hair.
"You say that," he hums, "like you weren’t just up in my lap, riding me like a rodeo horse."

Or: Steve and Eddie try their hand at babysitting, Eddie gets stuck in his own head, and Steve gets him out of it.
