Mscryptix - So Beautiful You Overflow

Kinda borrowing and following on from your prev cinema anon coz oooh boy I loved that one

Since Rocky Horror Picture Show is a staple of so many Steddie fics (rightfully so that’s queer history)

The gang going to a screening night in costume!

Eddie is obviously Eddie - groundbreaking chub heartthrob character really (side note - actually headcanon chubby!Eddie’s body shape as very similar to Meatloaf’s)

It’s a whole build up of planning, Eddie’s costume is an easy one to figure, but Robin & Nancy ….not certain which characters they end up assigning themselves - let’s just say there’s a lot of giggly & excited back and forth talk about logistics and pros and cons, like constantly, in the lead up to the show.

Steve’s THIS close to banning Nancy & Robin discussing it during work hours, but unfortunately the shop never seems to get busy enough to warrant putting his foot down when Nancys comes in to chat (this is obvs deliberate - Nancys meticulous and knows exactly when the stores quiet times are)

Steve is…a hard sell. He’s excited the others are excited, and there was no way he was going to say no to anything Eddie asked him to do anyway but…costumes? Really? Ugh - and he can act too cool but there’s just - theres a few elements to his discomfort with this, that he’s gonna put away in a mental box to explore at another time

Anyway! Show night! The cinema is abuzz and ok it’s much easier to be in costume when your surrounded by a crowd all dressed in similar costumes

And Steve’s last shred of reluctance disappears when he remembers - oh! Oh yeah concession stand!! Okay play it cool Harrington!

Steve LOADS UP everybody with snacks - deliberately making sure to equally ask each the other three (again! Play it cool Harrington!) what each would want and then just..doubling up (“hey I’ll buy! My treat guys! For being such a grouch in the lead up” Robin just like “ohh that’s the reason? That’s what we’re saying this is? gee thanks Steve, your such a swell friend for making it up to us like this 🙄”)

So they head into the cinema, all holding armfuls of food - Robin & Nance just smirking coz yeah …right Steve..this foods for all four of us is it?? Sure ok if you say so

Anyway - they get to their seats, Nancy, Robin and Steve take a seat and Eddie…just stands there …looking at his seat, and Steve’s having trouble reading him? Like “are you ok babe 🙁” and Eddie just ..still looks like he’s puzzling something out? But he’s like “yeah I think so” and takes a seat right next to Steve and….kinda almost on Steve

And that’s when Steve gets it- Eddie is WEDGED into that seat, the top of his belly is encroaching on Steve’s arm rest space

And Steve’s just bought enough snacks for him for 10 people

Once Steve’s able to draw his blushing jaw dropped face away from where his arm is brushing Eddie’s belly to look Eddie in the eye, Eddie is just grinning lewdly and knowingly at him

And then fucking Eddie just winks at Steve and then maintains eye contact as he starts in on the first bucket of popcorn

Thank god the lights go down then because Steve might be about to lose consciousness from how quickly all his blood just rushed south

Ok there's sooooo much good stuff here that I want to do it justice and maybe even get something one-shot length out of this. When I can get to writing something, I'll be linking to this ask and I'll post it here and on Ao3

LMAO have a prolonged migraine for like 60+ hours and come out of it to find out Miss Lizzy bit it??

Btw me - ArgyleTShirtSupply!Anon

Didn’t exactly proof read - obviously I’m referring to band merch and metal tees but I completely do not remember if my wording made that clear - anyway - to clarify

Also consider - When Argyles visiting, he Jonathan and Eddie smoking up - argyle and Eddie glutting themselves and making improv and experimental pizzas in the Byers kitchen (the others are out, hopper on a date, dw about it)

Jonathan eats like a bird, Argyle has a big appetite but Eddie is beyond

Steve doesn’t join - it’s not his scene, Jonathan and Argyle are more Eddie’s than his friends, so he’ll just hang with Robin after work til the guys drop Eddie off

Cue Argyle driving Eddie back to Steve’s (don’t drive under the influence but like…the80s) Jonathan in tow, and argyle handing Eddie over to his waiting boyfriend, almost too familiar and more knowing than you want your ex-girlfriends-boyfriends-best friend to be saying stuff like “your lover is returned to you, blazed and sated my dude, have fun”

Argyles Argyle about it, Eddie thinks it’s hilarious, Steve is white-man grimace smiling politely and Jonathon wants to die

Those three get so fucking high and play the most chaotic and adolescent D&D of their lives. And they eat themselves (with the exception of Jonathan) absolutely stupid. And maybe high Eddie let's slip that Steve's been particularly tight of ass lately (newsflash it's because argyle's in town). So it's Argyle and Jonathan's idea to turn Eddie into a peace offering of their own creation and let that boy go hog wild. Stuffed beyond belief. There's basically no softness to his belly, and he almost looks otherwise visibly fatter than when he left earlier that night. Cue a happy Argyle like you said "Hark, my dude, I've got a delivery for Harrington. One pizza-stuffed lover boy, very well fed, extra blazed. Have fun and play safe, ok!" He leaves, so happy with himself and hair swinging behind him. Jonathan looks so scandalized you'd think he was shell shocked from the great war. Eddie's extra giggly, and practically bursting out of his clothes, and Steve is livid and thinking of how he's going to reassert boyfriend dominance, once Edd has had a chance to digest.

what if argyle actually comes from a super prestigious family with a shit ton of money but he had to work at SBP because of reasons similar to steve's when he had to work at Scoops?

one day jonathan goes over to argyle's house because he's realised that he hasn't been to argyle's place ever. and when he arrives at the address, he is met with some mansion, and he wonders to himself, shit, this can't be it. no way does argyle live here. but when he rings the doorbell, argyle opens the door, and says "hey, byers! how's it going?" like he didn't just step out of a big ass house that he has never once explained

jonathan is absolutely stoned out of his mind, so when he can't find argyle's parents anywhere in the house, he says, "wow, argyle, did you buy this house with your surfer boy pizza money?"

Sure was nice of Albo to give us a long weekend on this, the upcoming anniversary of the death of Meatloaf’s career in Australia. RIP King.
