    Summary

    Dustin lets himself in with the key Steve gave him two weeks ago. He doesn’t stop to knock. He’s panting, sweaty from the cycle even though it’s freezing outside. His heart is pounding, hands clammy.
    He knows he’s being irrational. He knows Steve’s fine. He’s fine.

     

    Or: Dustin goes to see Steve. He accidentally interrupts a date.

    Summary

    Some days he needed to hum, to feel the vibrations in his throat, and other days his voice simply would not come regardless of how badly he needed it to. He would be forced quiet by his own body–words floating away into the land of nothingness, not returning until he laid under his bed in the dark long enough to dissipate the static in his skull.

    Summary

    "I also came to ask how you liked your surprise." Dustin furrowed his brow.

    "Surprise?" 

    Nancy's grin grew and she nodded back to the gym. Eyes narrowed, Dustin ducked back in, weaving around tables to get back to their booth. He saw Lucas first, grinning like Christmas came early. 

    "Did you know he was coming?" he asked. Dustin frowned.

    "Who?"

    "Henderson!" 

     

    OR

    Dustin didn't have his mom with him for his last middle school science fair, and he couldn't ever remember having a dad. He didn't have an older brother or sister like Jonathan or Nancy, but he did have a Steve.

    Summary

    “I ever tell you ‘bout the time Mike jumped off this cliff to save me?”

    “What?” Steve breathes, his footsteps stopping short. Just out of arm’s reach.

    “It was that week Will was missing… Troy Walsh and James Dante came after us. Chased us through the woods. We’d just reached the quarry when Troy grabbed me and put a knife to my neck.”

    Behind him, Steve inhales sharply, but stays silent.

    “Said if Mike didn’t jump he’d cut me. And I begged him not to.”

    Dustin palms at his eyes, trying to stave off the tears that threaten to spill over like waterfalls into the drained quarry.

    “Asshole didn’t listen."
