Summary
Steve desperately needed an out. He couldn't handle his own life anymore, he needed to leave everything he'd ever known behind. And yet, he couldn't.
His husband wouldn't let him leave like that. Not when Steve felt like a prize to him, something to be owned. And Steve didn't have the money to leave him because he'd been dumb and trusting and in love.
And then, there's Eddie. Who might be just another client but he makes Steve feels things and Steve doesn't want to fucking feel anything right now.
He just wants to leave.
OR; Stripper Steve meets Eddie at work and Eddie can be precisely what Steve needs. Can offer him the chance of leaving his own life behind, if Steve plays his cards right.

Summary
Thank you.’ Eddie lays his hand on the back of Steve’s exposed neck, right below his hairline. His skin is cool, it’s soothing.
Something kind of unlocks in Steve’s middle.
Like a bad bone cracking in half.
Like a rotted dam giving way to the weight of the water.

Summary
‘Hi.’
Eddie flinches hard, tries to back up but he’s already pressed into the wall so he just sort of bangs his head. ‘Ow, hi, hello, um, sorry.’
It’s Steve.
Steve Harrington is standing in front of him.
Eddie reverts back to a single celled organism.
‘Sorry for what?’
‘Sorry?’
Steve blinks, gives a little smile. ‘My bad, start again?’
‘S-sorry?’
Eddie would actually rather be a single celled organism.
