( technically, it's not their first date. it's their first official date. if you don't count any of the times one of them was trying to do a date-like thing to see if the other one of them would notice.
thinking back on it, steve's not sure how he missed some of it.
actually, he knows how.
robin knows how too because she has had to deal with him both lament that eddie couldn't possibly be into him and then lament about how can he be a better boyfriend to eddie when he sucks at being a boyfriend anyway? see prior evidence??? there's a huge difference between being two guys who like each other and dating. not that steve has experience with dating a guy.
but he figures he does have experience with eddie. so a valentine's date with eddie shouldn't be a problem. they're going to steve's favorite diner which has a pretty cool surprise spot behind it that steve wants to take eddie. it'll be fine. it will. except. this is their first date (they haven't even kissed because they're taking things slow? rip robin's ears also) and it's valentine's day (technically, it's the day before valentine's day because they have to be careful and also because steve couldn't get valentine's day off. keith is a tyrant, honestly.)
steve smoothes his hands over his jean-clad knees and pushes himself to hop out of the beemer, which has been parked in front of eddie's trailer probably way too long to not have been noticed. he does have flowers in the passenger's seat but he's not sure if to take them for a second but, hey, it's their first date and it's valentine's day. and flowers are a thing.
so steve grabs them, slams the car door and runs up the stairs to knock on the front door with the hopes that eddie hasn't been watching him this whole time. )
