I don't mind whether it's gen or slash but I'd like something about the tension it could bring. Steve's rich, privileged, people assume certain things about him, treat him a certain way because of that. Eddie's poor and has little financial/societal privilege, resources, people assume certain things, treat him a certain way because of it...
Happy for there to be some angst, maybe Eddie being jealous or projecting at Steve. Yes, Steve has financial privilege, but he's also vulnerable/fucked up in other ways (PTSD(?), parental neglect/abandonment, etc). Eddie being self-deprecating, assuming Steve judges him, his clothes, the trailer, and so on. Eddie getting pissed/feeling insecure because Steve always pays for their dates (or their activities together, if gen, cinema trips with the kids, pizza for movie night, etc).
I'm leaving it vague and open so Filler can include their own ideas but essentially: Steve is a rich boy, Eddie's a poor boy. They're best friends or lovers/boyfriends. Let's explore that.
