Steve and Robin are very physically affectionate. It’s part of their friendship, Eddie supposes, for them to be all over each other. He knows it’s not romantic. He and Robin have already come out to each other, there’s nothing to worry about there…
But Eddie has started to wonder if that physical affection is restricted to Robin. He’s started to wonder if he’d be allowed to be like that with Steve. He’s started to wonder if it would mean the same thing.
He decides there’s only one way to find out. He decides to just… go for it. Slowly. He hopes it leads to good things.
When they next sit down to watch a movie in Eddies trailer, he doesn’t go for the single chair, tells Robin and Steve to shift. It’s a squeeze, but they all fit. Steve is squished between him and Robin but, if anything, he looks very happy.
He starts sitting closer after that, pressing fully against him. He never looks bothered, doesn’t even acknowledge it happening outside of the occasional smile sent his way.
So Eddie ups the ante. He starts touching his back, as casually as he can- the first time, he puts a hand on his lower back, gently pushing him forward so Eddie can squeeze past. Sometimes he’ll pat him on the back. Usually, he’d let his hand rest on Steves back when he’s leaning close.
But, again, Steve doesn’t react much. Sometimes Eddie will catch him smiling to himself, sometimes will feel him leaning back into the contact. So it’s more than ok. But Eddie kind of wants to see Steve react…
He puts a hand on Steves thigh one day. The opportunity was perfect- Robin is on the other side of the room and Steve, sitting next to him, blocks his view. So he shifts, leaning forward, using Steves thigh as leverage.
Steve goes a little pink, but still… no real reaction.
Eddie keeps getting more touchy. To the point where no one bats an eye at Eddie being just as all over Steve as Robin is. Yet, aside from blushing a little more, Steve doesn’t react.
Eddie isn’t sure why he wants Steve to react, isn’t sure how he wants him to react. He just knows that something will happen if he starts pushing and he’s too curious to see what it is to stop now.
In the end, it’s the smallest thing that finally makes him crack.
Eddie had come into the kitchen, finding Steve in the middle of doing the dishes. He’d snorted when he noticed a loose strand of hair hanging loose, Steve struggling to push it back without using his wet, soapy hands.
So Eddie stepped forward without thinking, gently brushing the hair back, taking a moment to brush through his hair and making sure it’s sat right, how he usually styles.
“Oh, you fucking…” Steve muttered. He narrowed his eyes, almost glaring. “I don’t know if you’re just trying to be friends, but if that’s all you want then you need to tell me, right now, because otherwise I’m going to kiss you.”
Eddie blinks, stunned. “Your gonna what?”
But Steve takes that as an answer. Which then gives Eddie his; that type of physical affection is restricted to Robin. It means something very different with Eddie.
Later, curled up in bed with him, Eddie knows he’s definitely found a good thing. He decides that he’s not going to let go, not unless Steve wants him to.

Steve buying eddie claw clips for his hair because regular hair ties were giving him tension headaches. When Eddie gets the clip he grabs it from Steve and immediately starts using it as a puppet to either tell Steve he loves him or ‘attack’ which is actually the claw clip ‘kissing’ Steve
The claw clip gets taken down from Eddie’s hair at random moments to ‘talk’. Most famous appearances include 1) at hellfire as an npc who is now equally loved and hated 2) at family video where the claw told a particular loud and rude customer to ‘suck a phallus’ and 3) when eddie was high with argyle and Jonathon and they thought the claw had predicted their deaths. Robin, Nancy and Steve came to pick them up and had to spend half an hour consoling them all
pt 3 of steddie dads twitter doodles because this is my thing now apparently
steve telling his students (teacher!steve, so true) about his super sweet and caring husband and they all think it’s just some average, boring dude. and they find out that the guy who irons mr. harrington’s clothes every morning and adopted 3 kittens so the siblings wouldn’t be separated, is a rock musician, with tattoos all over his arms and is wearing a shirt that says sum shit like “the devil was an angel too” when he comes in for career day.
alternatively, eddie telling his bandmates about how super cool and tough his husband is & then one day some guy in a baby blue polo and pressed slacks shows up before their show to give eddie a specific pick and a kiss on the cheek and eddies band mates are like……….that’s him? that’s the guy who bit the head off a bat and hit billy hargrove with his car?
i must write this
Corroded coffin, 80s and 90s metal legend band is seeing a wild resurgence of popularity due to a tik tok trend/ a song of theirs being in a movie/ etc.
This means young people are obsessed with Eddie again. Young people, his og fans. His name is trending on Twitter again. Steve is so happy for him.
One tweet, had 4 photos of Steve and Eddie. One old photo Steve had posted for their 35 year (who could believe that!) anniversary on Facebook of the two of them back in ‘86, one of them in ‘95 from the Grammys, one of them from ‘11 from their wedding, and one of them from a few weeks ago from robins Instagram which Eddie had shared to his story.
The caption reads “who was going to tell me that THIS is who EDDIE MUNSON is married to? He’s literally JUST SOME GUY oh my god this is hilarious this dude could be my English teacher how the fuck did these two even meet” and Eddie thinks it’s so funny, so he retweets it with the caption “high school sweethearts-ish. He’s a social worker BTW, close enough :)”
oh god now i’m imagining that bc of the resurgence, eddie decides to make a tik tok account, and his first video is him behind the camera. he walks into their living room and says “steve i’m making a tik tok say something.”
and steve is sat on the couch (i’m imagining it’s one of those couches with a longer end on one side for people to lay on), looking super comfy, dressed in sweats & a comfy sweater and wrapped up in like 2 blankets, wearing glasses and using his ipad. he looks up at eddie and says the most, like, middle-aged-dad-caught-off-guard thing to the camera, like maybe a confused “hello. tik. tok?”
and eddie bursts out laughing and ends the tik tok there and captions it ‘my first tik tok’ or smth, and the comments are full of teenagers light heartedly roasting steve. stuff like ‘his name is StEvE’ and stuff abt how he’s literally just some guy named sTeVe!!! (eddie goes through and likes almost every comment roasting steve (and some of the ones that just comment on how comfy he looks))
