Steve’s lips taste like strawberry fruit gummies cuz of his chap stick. And when Eddie leans in he can smell the artificial strawberry scent. It’s his favorite thing to lick it off.
Eddie doesn’t use anything except for the left over that clings from his make out sessions. They’re always dry and Steve is losing a fruitless battle trying to stop him from biting and eating at the dead skin.
“Pls stop cannibalizing yourself it’s so gross.”
“You love that I’m gross.” (Waggles his tongue) 😛

Robin used to use cola flavored chap stick but when she finally got into a relationship with Nancy she got self conscious and tried lip gloss. But her hair would get stuck in it and it was sticky and just way too over stimulating. She uses non flavored chapstick now.
Nancy uses the same brand and flavor of chapstick as Steve and when Robin finds out she spend an entire 24 hours screaming and going on strike by withholding kisses.
“I’m basically kissing Steve. Oh god, I know what Steve tastes like!!” (Genuinely dry heaves)
“Robin, it’s just chapstick.”
“Our friend group is getting way too incestuous, Nancy! Does literally no one else see it as a problem!!!”
Eddie is trying to make it big in the music scene but people don’t get ‘discovered’ nowadays, even with a manager, it’s all about who you know. And Eddie gets the chance to mingle after subbing for small band who were one member short. He scores an invitation to tag along to a party. A high profile party.
And Eddie’s manager gives him a tip: the son of C. Harrington, owner of huge record label GNH, will be there and he so happens to bat for the both teams.
Nothing is said directly but it’s heavily implied that if Eddie can manage to shake this guy’s hand and flirt his way into a few dates… that can be his in.
So, okay, stringing along some rich entitled asshole born with a silver spoon in his mouth? Eddie’s game. Doesn’t hurt that the guy is easy on the eyes, even if a little too on the preppy side for his tastes.
And he does it. He gets his few dates, but no word has reached Harrington senior about his music so it looks like this might turn into the long game.
Except that Steve is sweet.
Eddie didn’t count on Steve being so sweet.
Eddie didn’t count on Steve showing active emotional interest. To spill his heart out to Eddie and reach with such lonely hands practically begging to be loved.
Eddie didn’t count on falling in love either.
Maybe Eddie can have his cake and eat it too, right?
But then, well,
Steve finds out about his original intentions.
