Summary
One movie, one confrontation, and one shared bucket of popcorn makes Eddie start to realise that maybe he never really knew Steve at all—and maybe, just maybe, he wants to.

Summary
Eddie’s looking at him. “You good?”
Steve cocks his head, confused, “Yeah?” Wasn’t Eddie the one that wanted him to move away?OR, Steve's touch starved, Eddie's past haunts him, and Steve's left with the wreckage. Until they can work it out, that is.

Summary
Wayne is used to getting calls about Eddie, whether from the nice secretary from Hawkins High or Hopper. He doesn't get calls from the hospital. He definitely doesn't get calls from the hospital about people that aren't Eddie. He's surprised to get a call from the hospital about Steve Harrington.
AKA Steve gives the hospital a random number since his parents aren't home and Wayne comes to pick him up.

Summary
But then Eddie saw a whole pile of kids get in Harrington’s car, and he overheard Nancy Wheeler say that “Steve was babysitting,” and that image didn’t even remotely align with anything Eddie knew about King Steve “The Hair” Harrington, but he figured he didn’t know much, anyway, and it wasn’t any of his business, when it came down to it.
Eddie thought so little of it, in fact, that he had almost forgotten that Max had apparently been babysat by one Steve Harrington. That is, until Steve Harrington started showing up at the trailer park, picking up Max and driving away, and then Eddie wouldn’t see Max at home again for days on end.
Eddie didn’t know much about babysitting, but he was pretty sure the gigs were more of an hourly thing.

Or: Steve takes care of everyone, but Eddie takes care of him.

Summary
Watching Steve sit alone that first day- even with his ex and her new squeeze crowding his table- former King of Hawkins High with his bruised up face and puppy dog eyes, and apparently, knight in shining armor tendencies, Eddie never stood a chance.
It's Jeff, in the end, that finally badgers Eddie enough to let Steve be dragged over to their table- into Hellfire, and Dungeons & Dragons, and hopefully right into Eddie's arms- after Steve intervenes to stop Jeff being harrassed in the halls.
Now Eddie just needs to figure out what he's going to do with all of it.
Aka a hellfire adopts Steve fic, because give the boy some friends (and a boyfriend).
