-Freak Like Me - Steddie

(TW: Homophobic slurs, mentions of gunshots)

Everything felt perfect.. a little too perfect like something could go wrong at any moment.

Steve looked over to Eddie as he stared at the stars smiling, Steve smiled seeing Eddie's eyes glisten, they were laying on the blanket Steve brought and were now dressed.

"Hey Eddie?" Steve said glancing at him. "Yeah?" Eddie replied as he continued looking at the stars. "Would you wanna go on.. like an official date maybe?" Steve asked nervously, Eddie looked over to him. "Of course I would" he said giving Steve a quick peck.

Steve smiled. "I love you so much" Steve said as he rolled over to Eddie, Eddie glanced to him before fully rolling over facing Steve. "I'll always love you" Eddie said smiling as him and Steve began kissing passionately

The moment was short-lived due to noises coming from the forest that surrounded them, Steve immediately bounced up looking around them, it was hard to see since it was late but he could've swore he'd seen a human figure.

"Eddie.." Steve said a little scared. "Hm?" Eddie responded looking at the stars again. "I think I see someone" Steve whispered, he was frozen in fear, Eddie quickly looked over to where Steve was looking they saw as someone emerging from the shadows.

It was Jason. "What the fuck.." Steve said. "Hey there faggots" Jason said smiling, Eddie slowly stood up and got on front of Steve as Jason watched them, this time he didn't have a knife..

He had a gun.. and they both could clearly see it, Steve's heart was pounding out of his chest as Eddie immediately put his hand over Steve's stomach. "Your supposed to be-" "What locked up?" Jason asked laughing as he pointed the gun to them.

Eddie's breathed hitched as he felt terrified, Steve held Eddie's hand. "Yeah I was.." he said swinging the gun around like it was a toy. "And now I'm out on bail" he said chuckling. "And I've been trying to find yall for a day now" he said as Eddie and Steve slowly backed up.

"Hey!" He said pointing the gun at them both, they quickly stopped moving. "Don't fucking move" he said as his smile faded. "Sit" he said as they both quickly sat down.

"Now.." he said walking up to them pointing the gun at them. "Take your fucking clothes off faggot" Jason said pointing the gun to Steve, who started breathing heavily. "Now!" He shouted, Steve quickly got up and stood there unsure if he should or not, he looked to Eddie who had tears streaming down his face, he nodded to Steve.

Steve looked back to Jason who was glancing between them both. "Yeah listen to your little boyfriend, fairy" Jason said, Steve closed his eyes as he slowly took his shirt off letting it fall to the ground, he was reluctant to take of his shorts though, Jason pointed the gun at the sky and quickly shot it making Steve jump in fear.

Eddie quickly got up and jumped on Steve pushing him over, they both fell to the ground as Jason quickly shot where Steve was but he missed since they were now on the ground.

Eddie kicked Jason's leg making him fall down, he quickly took the gun from Jason and pointed it at him as he and Steve got up and backed up to the dock, Jason got up and laughed. "You don't have the balls to shoot me faggot" Jason said smirking. "Fuck you" Eddie said.

Jason got closer to Eddie as he was shaking while holding the gun. "Do it" Jason said as he got closer. "I- if you don't back up I will" Eddie said stuttering as Jason chukled.
"I- I if I dont?" Jason asked mocking Eddie.

He continued getting closer, he stopped when the gun was pressing against his chest. "Eddie.." Steve said quietly. "Do it" Jason said, Eddie made sure the safety was on before pulling the trigger, he shot it to scare Jason.
