jukebox_heroWayne had been against the idea, not in general, he'd made that clear, he actually thought a summer job might be good for Eddie, and not because he didn't think Eddie could actually do it -the fact that he held down a regular gig with the band was proof that he had the follow through- it was just that he'd known Eddie would hate this particular job.
As usual, Wayne had been right. But Eddie wasn't going to admit defeat, not yet. It was only another few weeks, he could persevere, because aside from a reasonable staff discount -which meant he could pick up a few new releases he'd already been eying- working at the mall had an unexpected perk.
Which was Steve Harrington in a ridiculous Donald Duck sailor suit over at the Scoops Ahoy. Now, Eddie had thought his stupid crush on Steve goddamn Harrington had died when Steve had graduated and Eddie no longer had to see him multiple times a day, but apparently he'd been wrong.
Though he'd had enough time to figure that if his demons were going to resurface, he might as well roll with it, because at least now the worst he'd get was a verbal jab from Robin, but she never really meant them -at least not in his case, not that he could tell- and not a bloody nose.
That afternoon, shift over, he made his way up the concourse, stepping aside to let the gaggle of girls exiting the ice cream shop pass before eeling into the place himself, "Chocolate chip cookie dough my good man, make it a double, it has been a day, summer sale might actually kill me."
