Something Happens and I'm Head Over Heels

[farrahfawcetts]

WHO: Steve and Eddie
WHERE: Hotel
WHAT: DATE TIME!
WHEN: Nowish, after Calibrations
WARNINGS: None


The best thing about this new relationship is the mornings. Well, alright, all of it is pretty good but the mornings are definitely Steve's favorite. He'd never had the opportunity to regularly wake up next to someone and now he is spoiled with it. Sometimes he wakes up with a mop of hair in his mouth. Sometimes he's got Eddie hanging off the bed as he spent the night restlessly pushing him. And sometimes, like this morning, he wakes up in Eddie's arms, warm and secure. Steve nuzzles his face into Eddie's chest, enjoying a slow, leisurely waking process. Part of him just wants to go back to sleep entirely. But no, he can't.

They have plans.

"Babe," he hums, shifting to kiss against Eddie's neck. They'd planned today to be THE DAY. Their date: Eddie's first and Steve's millionth but definitely first with a guy. Honestly, he was probably more excited than Eddie was for the whole thing.

Steve reaches over for the die he'd created and the little notebook he'd scribbled his plans into. The die is plopped on the pillow next to Eddie's head and Steve goes back to the light pecks along that pale neck.

"Babe, it's time," he singsongs between kisses. "Rise and shine. It's time for me to be the best date you've ever had!

Tracing his thumb over Steve's hand, Eddie smiles and lets himself believe that maybe they can have this for a long time. Maybe Steve won't be taken away from him. Maybe Eddie won't be sent home to die torn apart in some broken version of Hawkins.

"Worth it," he says with a fond look.

"Sap," Steve says. But he still pushes out of his seat to bend over the table and give Eddie a soft kiss. "But yeah. Definitely worth it."

Steve sits back down and nods over to the die still on the table. "One last roll. We did something I liked, something you liked. Last one is for something new that we'll like. Hopefully. I'm sort of experimenting with the options.

[the_freak]

"Total sap," he agrees with a sly grin, returning the kiss, "But that stays between us.

He takes up the dice and holds it front of Steve's lips. "Give me some luck then, sounds like an important one," he teases, waiting for Steve to blow before rolling the die. And either Steve's luck pays off, or perhaps more likely the weighted die pulls it's magic.

"Nat 20."

[farrahfawcetts]

Steve blows on the die, hoping that it would give all the luck it needs. And apparently that is more than enough because it rolls perfect, 20 facing up at them. Steve's grin is wicked as he pushes out of the booth and reaches out for Eddie's hands.

"Alright, sweetheart. Adventure time. You like rock climbing, right?" He grins, clearly teasing. Hopefully.

[the_freak]

There's a brief moment of panic where Eddie can't tell if he's being teased or not, and doesn't want to hurt Steve's feelings if he's being serious. This moment unfortunately comes after he snorts in amusement, taking Steve's hands.

"How'd you guess?"

[farrahfawcetts]

Steve gives Eddie a wink and leads him out of the diner and into the open street. There, he turns on his boyfriend and pokes a finger into his chest.

"Now. There's no Skull Rock here, so you and I are gonna do a service to everyone here." He walks his fingers slowly up from where he'd poked. "Last activity of the day: we're gonna find the best new make-out spot in this place. And I think there's gonna be a lot of trial and error before we get the perfect one..."

[the_freak]

Ohhh. Eddie's brows lift, glancing down at those fingers as a grin spreads across his face.

"Ahh. Gonna take a while to get it established," he notes with a purr in his voice, "Especially if you're committed now," he adds with a teasing grin.

[farrahfawcetts]

"Yeah. I'd say I'm committed..."

He looks around and, seeing no one nearby, he pulls Eddie in for a soft kiss.

"C'mon. Places to go make out in, babe."
