Summary
Eddie looked good. He looked handsome and comfortable; soft-jumpered, thick-socked, loose-jeaned. His hair and skin looked clean. He looked healthy, like he was eating well. He looked rested. Like someone who had their shit together. There was an incense-like smell, and a coffee smell, and something soapy- fabric softener or shampoo. He wasn’t looking at Steve, was looking at the space just past him.
Steve perched on the arm of the couch, facing him. He figured he looked uncomfortable and stupid and strung out. He pulled a thing of spearmint gum out of his pocket and put a piece into his mouth then held the packet in front of him automatically, offering. A little flicker of emotion crossed Eddie’s face- amused, annoyed, Steve couldn’t tell which one was prevailing- and then he rolled his eyes and stepped away from the serving hatch, stood close enough to wordlessly hold out his palm. It took Steve a second to push out a piece into his hand.
“Thanks,” Eddie said.

Summary
The kiss is brief, only a second or two, not even long enough for Steve to really register what's happening before Eddie pulls away. Steve’s frozen in place, his arms still wrapped around Eddie.
Steve blinks down at him. "What?" he says stupidly. What?
Eddie closes his eyes, a weak smile on his lips. "Something to remember me by."
"You're not dying," Steve says. It feels like his mouth isn't attached to his brain anymore; the inside of his head is a dial tone.
"Of course I am," Eddie says, eyes still closed. "I'm dying right now."
"You're not, though." His voice keeps getting higher, for some reason. "You're not going to die here."
"Spare me the pity, Harrington, I know—"
"You're literally not dying right now." His whole body is hot. Is he sweating? "You lost some blood but they didn't get deep enough—I looked—you're going to be fine."
There's a pause. "I'm going to be fine?" Eddie asks, voice also going high and thin. "You're—sure?"
"Yes."
"Fascinating. Great. Are you—could you do me a favor, then, and maybe just—leave me here anyway?"
"What?" Steve says. The dial tone gets louder. "No. Why?"
"No reason," Eddie says, voice tight.

Summary
"You don't know who I am?"
"No."
"I'm Eddie," he says.
"Steve Harrington."
They shake hands, and Eddie chuckles like he's in on a joke Steve doesn't understand. He finally gets it three days later, after Eddie has left, because a poster goes up in town with a crude drawing of a familiar face. A reward offered for any information about the whereabouts of Edward Munson.
(Steve finds an outlaw in his barn).

Summary
The first time Eddie flirts with him is a surprise. The second time is a fluke.
After that, it gets a little hard to keep track.
