They end up at the quarry.

Steve is alright with the quarry. It's one of the only places left in Hawkins that wasn't affected by the earthquake or used as a portal to a hell dimension, so it's not so bad of a spot, all things considered.

He parks on the dirt alongside the road and quits the engine, immediately letting in the sounds of rushing water. He cracks open the door to get some air in, but it's blazing hot outside, making him break out into a sweat faster. He pulls back in, grimacing at the wave of heat, to ask if Eddie wants to get out and head closer to the water, but he almost knocks into Eddie's forehead.

"Jesus, man," he breathes, his heart leaping into his throat at how close Eddie is. He does a quick once-over without really thinking: catching Eddie's eyes and lips. He sees how Eddie is leaning over the middle console, his hands jittery as they try to figure out where to rest. He blinks. "Did you take me out here to make out?"

Eddie straightens, the car moving under them with the force he puts into it. "Uh, maybe?"

Steve grins. A part of him wants to tease, or maybe suggest Lover's Lake or Skull Rock, but then again, neither of those places leave a great taste in his mouth after everything. Besides, he's made out with plenty of people parked alongside Lover's Lake or up against the stone of Skull Rock, but he's never kissed anyone at the quarry before.

"Well?" he prods, raising an eyebrow when Eddie's attention snaps back onto him. "What are you waiting for?"

"You care about my boy?" Wayne asks, and it’s an innocent enough question, except for how he speaks with an undertone of real and true understanding of what he means by care. The bluntness sends a dual course of shock and fear down Steve's spine that Wayne spots quickly and eases immediately. "I ain't mean nothing by it other than what I said: You care about Eddie. Yes or no?"

"Yes, sir," Steve blurts, not giving himself time to get in his head about the answer, because no matter what people will think about him being friends with The Freak or a drug dealer or a queer, he still needs Eddie's only family to know that Eddie has someone who‘ll stick around him, by him, for him. "I care about him."

Wayne nods, taking the answer as easily as Steve gave it. "You take care of him and we ain't gonna have no problems, son."

It’s an extension—a payment in kind, maybe. Steve is the person who brought Wayne’s kid back to him, so maybe Wayne has a sense of duty; but Steve backtracks. That isn’t fair, not to Wayne.

Wayne is a good man who loves his nephew like his very own and who’ll give his thanks in the ways that he can. 

So, Steve shoves down the uncomfortableness and says, firmly and without question, “I'll take care of him.”

the hereafter incalamity
Summary:
Dustin, Robin, and Nancy make it out. That's all that matters.
Steve isn't self-sacrificial, at least not intentionally, but it's no question that he'd get hose three out of literal hell efore himself. It only makes sense.
So now, he's stuck in the Upside Down with a half-dead nerd he barely knows.
A journey through Steve's relationships with himself and the most important people in his life: a lesbian, a know-it-all kid et al., his ex-girlfriend, a DM (whatever the hell that is), the DM's uncle, and everyone else who seems to have wormed their way into his life since 1983.
(Or, how getting trapped in Hell on Earth with Eddie "The Freak" Munson puts every other
relationship Steve has ever had into perspective.)

"You know I didn't really have a friend until Dustin?"

The question is soft, but the room is quiet enough that it's the loudest thing in the world. The most pathetic part of himself is on display, cut open right from his chest from underneath all those stupid scars he has.

"It's lame, I know, that my first real friend is a child," he says with a wry laugh, his misery muffled into the palms of his hands, "but it's true. Everyone's around me for obligation, or reputation-not that I really have that anymore. No one was really my friend, and the lamest part is that I didn't even realize that none of those people were my friends until Dustin. He was the first to talk to me, not at me. He asked me for advice and stuff, and actually listened to what I said, even if he didn't always go through with it. And I realized that having friends is supposed to be fun all the time, you know? Not just some of the time, because other times, they're too drunk or mooching off my parents' money or laughing too loud because they think that'll make me like them more.

"It was nice having somebody who stood up for me, even when I still didn't deserve it. The kids, a few years back, thought I was a douchebag, but Dustin would always say I wasn't when they called me that, even though I still sort of was. He always stood up for me because he was my friend. And when we got closer, he also called me out on my bullshit" —he stumbles over the word with a grimace-"because that's what you're supposed to do with friends, right?
Make sure no one's picking on them, but also make sure they're not fucking up? I've never had anyone like that before I met Dustin."

"They're very dependable ladies," Eddie says into Steve's collarbone. He wipes his wet face against Steve's chest. "I'm sorry you weren't able to patch it up with Wheeler."
Steve wants to laugh, but he can't. It's easy to be embarrassed by what he blurted out to Nancy in the RV and in the woods, but it doesn't make any of what he said less genuine.
"It's easy to love Nancy," he admits, a thin smile stretching over his lips, "but it's like Robin said: I hate being alone. Being around Nancy is easy, you know? Because I know her and I love her, but I don't think I love her in the same way anymore-back when we were dating. She's with Jonathan, and she made it clear that she never really felt the same about me. It's just harder to accept than to move on, I guess."
Eddie lets the confession settle between them. He pushes away from Steve's chest and finally looks up, his eyes red and wet from tears but his expression soft and wanting. He licks his lips, wetting the blood between the cracked skin, and swallows. "You wanna move on?"
There's hope in the question, and Steve aches.
They're dying and Eddie has hope in him. It's an enormous weight.

Title: he speaks a silent prayer 
Author: incalamity
Summary:
Eddie keeps his bottom lip between his teeth when Steve isn't keeping his mouth busy with something else.
It's pretty sexy, at least Steve likes to think so. He likes watching a moan start crawling up Eddie's throat only for him to sink his canines into his lip hard enough to break skin.
But he also thinks he'll like whatever noise Eddie might make even if his lip isn't between his teeth all the time. He just likes hearing Eddie.
Eddie is quiet during sex.

But he also thinks he'll like whatever noise Eddie might make even if his lip isn't between his teeth all the time. He just likes hearing Eddie. Eddie is quiet during sex.

A while has passed since they started seeing each other, and Eddie still hasn't made much of a noise other than a gasp or a sigh. So, Steve makes it a point to try and wring anything else out. He gets close sometimes. He'll press his fingers down in the right spot and Eddie will drop his jaw, but it's like he realizes what's happening and he snaps his mouth shut. He'll get the angle just right when he's flush against Eddie's ass and Eddie will breathe with a hitch, but just before he makes any sort of noise, he shoves his face into a pillow.

Eddie's a vocal guy, has been since Steve was aware of him all the way back in middle school. He sings and he narrates and he protests. His voice is a source of power, so it throws Steve for a loop when Eddie is more or less silent during sex.

Maybe he's doing something wrong. He likes to think that he's decent at drawing out pleasure enough to get it to come out in different ways: a whimper, a moan, a shout, an orgasm. But maybe it's different with a guy. Maybe it's different with Eddie.

At the edge of the stage, Steve leaned down, pointing out specific fans, flashing a smirk at one, winking at another. He blew a kiss toward the front row, and they lost their minds. Every movement was deliberate, designed to make them feel chosen, seen, desired.
Then came the moment Eddie wasn't prepared for.
The band started stripping down the instrumentation, pulling back piece by piece. First, the drums softened, then the bass, then the guitars.
Until it was just Steve's voice and the soft hum of the keys. And then Steve stopped singing.
For a breath, the venue was silent.
And then the crowd took over.
They sang the song back to him, word for word, note for note, as if they had rehearsed it their entire lives. Steve stood there, bathed in the stage lights, his face unreadable for a moment. Then he stepped back, tilting his head, eyes closed, as if trying to memorize the sound, the sheer magnitude of love being thrown at him.
Eddie swallowed hard, something heavy settling in his throat. Through his camera lens, he saw it clearly, Steve's eyes were glassy, his grip on the mic stand tight, like he was holding onto something grounding, something real.
Eddie had seen Steve put on performances, had seen him fake smiles and charm his way through press junkets, but this? This was real. And for a second, Eddie wanted to stop taking pictures, wanted to just exist in this moment with him.
