Saw someone talking about a steddie au where Eddie is a baby gay & Steve is an All In Ally (until he realises he’s bi and then he’s just a know it all queers and generally knows a lot about the community to support Robin

And I was thinking how funny it would be if, as a kind of role-reversal to the common fanon interpretation, Steve saw the hankie and knows what flagging is & is nervous to ask Eddie out cause he’s not really into that (I personally think he’s still too traumatised from the Russian Base to be into any kinda bdsm stuff but that’s just me) but he likes Eddie a lot so he’s not gonna stop flirting with him over a little difference of preference

So then once they finally get together and kiss and they’re talking afterwards, Steve gets all awkward and Eddie doesn’t understand why, and Steve starts rambling about how he’s not really into that and Eddie is so confused until Steve points to the handkerchief and says “You’re flagging” and Eddie asks what that even means and so Steve (who is definitely laughing now, but trying not to) has to explain hanky code

And Eddie is mortified that he’s been accidentally telling Steve he’s into hardcore bdsm sex for months when he’s never even slept with a guy before
