More strange dogs! Setter Steve was just an initial test to see how he’d look cause I think setter’s have nice coats
AU where Eddie lives and makes it through season five, gotta lot of boiling hot angst in this idea
Eddie constantly making jokes or talking about Steve's huge dick that in turn, Steve gets super insecure about it and begins to believe that Eddie's just dating him for his dick and for sex. With an additional burn, Eddie also joins in on making jokes about Steve's intelligence or something...like never even realizes that Steve's not laughing with them all.
Steve believes he's nothing more than his body. And he doesn't know what to do because he really does love Eddie, but this is hurting him. And even though it's killing him to be talked about like that, Steve just doesn't open up. He just keeps letting these conversations happen. He sort of feels like an outsider to his own relationship. But he's so tired of being so lonely, and Eddie's nice most of the time, and they know each other's bodies really well and have the scars to match.
Something something, then Nancy and Jonathan step in and have to sit Steve down and tell him that if he isn't honest, he's just going to feel even more lonely down the road. Steve gets super cagey, Eddie doesn't understand fully, Eddie also gets mad at Nancy and Jonathan for "putting ideas" in Steve's head. And Steve won't be having that either because he's come to be really close friends with Jonathan and Nancy despite their years of butting heads. And as much as he loves Eddie, Steve also loves his friendships too; and maybe somewhere after Vecna, Steve realized that having friends was more important than continuously seeking out romantic relationships. And, "Nancy and Jonathan were my friends first," he tells Eddie. And then Steve completely fucking snaps when Eddie sneers a snipey, "Jonathan, really?" at him. As if Jonathan didn't save Steve's fucking life, despite everything they went through.
Do they resolve? Do they break up? Hmmmm.....
