Summary
Wayne’s not a good golfer.
It’s not even that he’s bad at the actual golfing part. Or at least it’s not just that.
It’s that he’s bad at the quiet parts, the patience parts, and the wearing polos and khakis parts. All the same parts that Eddie’s bad at. Genetics are quite strong between them, it seems.

Summary
There’s a curly haired boy standing on his doorstep.
Uneven chunks of hair are missing, like some drunk bastard took scissors to it with a whole lotta anger and too little care, and Wayne’s heart aches.
“I didn’t have anywhere else to go,” Eddie says, eyes damp and lip wobbling, but there’s a stubborn jut to his jaw that Wayne’d recognize in a heartbeat.
“C’mon in, kid,” he says, keeping all that softness he wants to let in behind his teeth, ‘cause he knows that kid’ll run before he lets himself trust anything soft.
*
Or, how Eddie comes home to Wayne, both times.

Summary
"Steve had been cranky, and he sometimes wondered why Eddie and Wayne put up with him. Yet, here he was, in the snuggest kitchen on earth, with a loving boyfriend and his uncle smiling down at him, like he was sunshine itself. Wayne’s gaze alighted on the hot chocolate Steve had brought. He turned off the cooktop, his face turning deadly grave. “You brought that, son? For us?”"
Or, Steve decides to surprise Eddie and Wayne with hot chocolate. He's got no idea of the emotional fireworks he’s going to unleash... (of the fluffy variety!)

Summary
“You left.”
It isn’t what Steve meant to say when he saw Eddie Munson slouched at the bar, but it’s what comes out. Not as accusatory as he’d have said it three, four, five years ago. Just as bitter.
Eddie doesn’t startle, but his shoulders tense up and his fingers tighten around his half-empty drink, rings clinking loudly against glass. He turns, slow and cautious, and doesn’t relax when he sees Steve. Just watches him, silent and guarded, so Steve watches him back.
He looks…fuck, he looks good. Tired, wary, but really fucking good.
Steve wants to bring Eddie home, lay him in bed and take him apart.
Eddie’s lips quirk at the corners. “I came back.”
He also kind of wants to hit him.
Anger simmers low in his belly and his jaw clenches so tightly it aches.
“Don’t pull that shit with me, Munson. You packed up and you left and you didn’t fucking tell anyone.”
***
Or, after the events of s4, Eddie runs from Hawkins, tours the world with his band, drinks too much and falls apart at the seams.
And then he comes back.

Summary
Wayne Munson has always had a three strikes and you’re out kind of approach to life.
He’s always taken that approach to everything so, the first time he comes across a child in the middle of the woods, he tries his best not to be too quick to judge.
“Whatcha doing here, kid?” he asks.
The boy, apparently having been using the rifle he has to support his weight, as if it isn’t a deadly weapon nearly as tall as him, jumps. “Nothing,” he says, “...sir.”
Wayne blinks.

Summary
Eddie never had an issue with his relationship with Steve being kept a secret; he knew the dangers of the general public of Hawkins discovering good ol' golden boy Steve Harrington was dating Hawkins' resident freak. Besides, the most important person in his life outside of Steve, Wayne, knew and that was more than enough for Eddie. If Eddie was being honest anyways, he didn't know who Steve had to tell. The truth of the matter was that Eddie was completely fine with keeping his love for his Stevie pure and untainted by the hatred of his peers. But, he didn't realize that would mean hearing the love of his life died while drinking coffee and watching the morning news.
Or, six months of love goes up in flames when Steve dies in the Starcourt fire with Chief Hopper.

Summary
Steve lifts his head, and Wayne sighs because the bruises on his cheek and jaw are already painting a picture of what might have happened.
“S—sorry,” he whispers, “I couldn’t drive like this.”
The past tense isn't a great sign. Wayne nods to the front door. “Well, why don't you come inside?”
Steve blinks, as if he’d been expecting a different reply. He glances between Wayne and the steps as if he’s afraid of giving the wrong answer. “It’s not a trick question, Harrington.”

Summary
He stares down at the paper in his hands. He thought he’d feel relief, maybe a tiny bit of happiness that he’d never admit to. He even considered that he might feel a small speck of sadness the day his brother died.
But all Wayne Munson feels right now is disbelief and anger, and he doesn’t know where to hide it before Eddie gets home.

Summary
Wayne Munson observes Steve at Eddie's bedside during his coma. When Eddie awakes, he's extremely confused.
EXCERPT:
"Contrary to popular belief, Wayne Munson wasn’t a judgmental man.
His philosophy coined long ago as “The Munson Doctrine” started first and foremost with minding your business. Someone’s got an issue with you? Avoid them. Someone’s queer? And that someone is your nephew? Cool. Not your life. Let him do whatever he wants."

Summary
Steve should've gone to Robin's probably.
But when you're in a state of shock after being kicked out of your house because your dad found a handwritten love note from your boyfriend, you don't always think clearly.
He was sitting outside the trailer, on the gravel driveway, rocks digging into his ass and thighs, thinking about how uncomfortable the back seat of his car was for sleeping. He managed to grab his sandwich bag of savings, which was barely enough for a motel for a couple of weeks, but maybe he'd find a place that would be more understanding.
After Vecna, most places were open to any arrangement on payment as long as they got something.
"Steve?" Eddie's voice filtered to him from the front door of the trailer.
It wasn't until he heard Eddie's voice that he realized Wayne's truck was parked next to Eddie's van, which meant Wayne was home, which meant Wayne would be confused as hell.
Eddie's hands were on his shoulders, worried and tugging him out of his own thoughts.
"Hey," Steve said.
