Everyone knows Steve doesn't like touch. He flinches and moves away when someone tries to do anything more than a soft tap. The only person that he doesn't really move away from is Robin.
So why did Dustin see Eddie and Steve hugging tightly in Steve's living room?
Steve loses a bet to Robin and has to get a lower back tattoo. Eddie spots it one day when Steve's shirt rides up and becomes obsessed with thinking about it. This is also how Eddie realizes he desperately wants to fuck Steve.
I need a fic of Steve and Robin going to a gay bar or a pride parade and Steve managing to pick up more lesbians than Robin.
Like he comes running back to Robin like an excited puppy all like
"ROB! Robbie! This is Alliyah and Bre! They're so fucking cool!"
eddie becoming a perpetual third wheel to stobin and eventually blending in to their weird little dynamic because he and steve are crushing on each other. they never clock it as anything but platonic tho bc he literally just copies robin’s behavior -
