    Summary

    "Hello? Ed, is that you? What's all that noise? What's going on?"

    "Wayne, can you come pick me up ... I’m at a party at the Harringtons’ house ... I don't wanna talk about it, man … Can you please just come get me? Please."

    Eddie hangs up the phone and swallows down the lump in his throat.

    He refuses to cry in Steve Harrington's kitchen.

    Summary

    "But they definitely knew how to choke each other out. Insecurities ran deep and were easy to point out. Like mold on bread slices.

    So it makes perfect sense that they constantly argued too. Usually mundane situations. Things like: “Ugh, Steve! It’s my turn to choose what we watch, enough with the basketball!” and “Eddie, stop leaving your dishes strewn about!” and “No, I’ll pick up everybody and drop them off!” Though, these were quickly resolved. A deep breath taken, a compromise made, and a few warm pecks exchanged.

    However, on a slow Thursday evening in the middle of November, things go haywire."

    OR
    Steve and Eddie argue, and Steve uses a safeword to end the argument

    OR
    Somebody on Twitter, cannot remember who, was itching for a fic where someone has to safeword out of an argument. Thought it was a cool idea and it's been marinating in my brain for god knows how long. If you know who mentioned this on Twitter, please let me know!

    Update: I added a second chapter! So if you're seeing this again and are confused, that's why!

    My take on the Shovel Talks Trope

    Steve is having a hard time with his friends giving him the shovel talk about not breaking Eddie's heart.

    Things come to a head when Jonathan shows up and Steve mistakes him for wanting to do the same. It opens a can worms the Party didn't know was a problem.

    Now with the help of Eddie, the Byers, and El, they get everyone else to recognize Steve's worth and to apologize.
