[Sometimes when she and Eddie get high, they lose any sense of a filter and just chatter endlessly. One night after they've smoked and are laying in bed, Chrissy halfway dangling over the edge, she suggests that she thinks Steve Harrington is pretty. It's not a surprise when Eddie agrees.

What is a surprise is Chrissy suggesting about twenty minutes later that they could invite Steve to join them sometime. She says it so casually that Eddie probably thinks she's just talking to be talking. When she brings it up again a little later, she thinks he gets that it's something she's genuinely interested in exploring. Only this time she phrases it as a question, asking him what he thinks about Steve.

The topic is brought up again the next weekend when she's over, and Eddie finally suggests that they do something to sate her curiosity. He's never denied her anything before, and doesn't seem to want to start now. She's only taken a couple of hits off the joint they're passing back and forth at that point, and wonders if he's the type to get jealous. She doesn't know if she is.

But she knows that she wants to know what Steve is like when he's being appreciated the way he deserves. And she thinks Eddie wants it too. There's not an ounce of jealousy about that when she insists that he do something to get Steve over.

The first time Eddie manages it, Chrissy gets shy. Eddie picks up on it and instead of worrying about seducing Steve, they all just get high together and spend the night talking and laughing. She's a little more forward the following weekend when they watch a movie and she winds up squeezed between the two of them on the couch, holding Eddie's hand as her head rests on Steve's shoulder.

They make a habit out of hanging out together, and by the time Chrissy decides her curiosity about Steve in bed has reached new heights, things between the three of them feel easy and natural. There's nothing awkward about the way her eyes watch Steve's mouth as he takes a hit off the joint Eddie passes him. There's nothing wrong with the way she leans in to surprise Steve with a kiss right after. And there's definitely no jealousy as Eddie takes a turn right after. Her eyes widen in surprise as she enjoys what she sees, but then her boys are breaking away and she has to act like she wasn't just watching and enjoying it.

She fails miserably, blushing as she laughs and glances over at Steve.]

You know, you can tell us to back off. We won't mind.

[ The first time Chrissy brings up Steve, Eddie isn't quite sure what to make of it. He agrees because he's high and well, Steve is attractive, you'd have to be blind to miss that. He's known he's bisexual for years now, though his actual experience with men has been limited. And then he and Chrissy got together, and he figured any potential future experiences would be off the table. Their initial conversations only ever happen when they're high, but slowly they bleed over into their time spent sober.

There's no denying a certain thrill runs through him as they theorize about it. He thinks this sort fo thing could easily become messy, but he trusts Chrissy, he loves her. And for as many times as he has butted heads with Steve, he knows Steve is a good guy.

They start inviting Steve over more and more, and even though Chrissy loses her nerve that first time, Eddie still finds himself enjoying the time the three of them spend together. He was worried he might feel jealous, possessive, when he sees the careful touches that Chrissy gives over to Steve. He does feel protective, but only in the sense that he doesn't want to see Chrissy getting her feelings hurt, doesn't want to see her being treated any less than she deserves.

They've got Texas Chainsaw Massacre playing in the background as they pass the joint around. It's certainly not the type of movie to inspire romance, but Chrissy seems to finally have gathered up the courage to make the first move. Eddie watches them kiss quietly, equal parts stunned and around. No jealousy rises up within him, and he thinks the fact that they have so openly discussed this is the reason for that. Eddie swallows hard as he watches them, unable to find it anything but completely erotic.

And then Chrissy's pulling back, nudging Eddie to take her place. He leans in to kiss Steve and it's... different than anything he's experienced thus far. But there's no denying that he likes it. Eddie pulls back, panting softly, reaching to take Chrissy's hand in his as they both look at Steve. ]

Sorry we kind of sprung this on you. [ He laughs gently, as some teen gets murdered in the background. ] But we-- well, we think you're pretty damn hot, Steve. But if it weirds you out, we'll never speak of this again.
