    Summary

    He thinks about the relief in Eddie’s voice when he said he had a hunch about Steve’s whereabouts, like Dustin is the chosen one for understanding what makes Steve tick. Eddie’s joked about it before; he’d called it “sibling telepathy” when Dustin had silently communicated his popcorn order at the movies, and he’d nudged Steve in the ribs when Steve’s nose wrinkled meaning Gross, dude. Then Steve had huffed a laugh, nudging Dustin back. Okay, okay. I’ll pay for it, you little shit.

    But Eddie gets Steve, too, Dustin thinks; that’s why he called him. And yeah, it’s different than the way Dustin understands Steve, but it’s significant enough for Eddie to make the cut of Steve Harrington Interpreters in Dustin’s mind.

    Summary

    “I think I’m stuck.”

    Eddie laid his hand over the strings of his guitar to stop the cord, leaning over the edge of the bed to look down at him.

    “Metaphorically,” Steve clarified.

    “I’m gonna need a little more than that, baby.”

    Steve sighed, leaning back against the edge of the bed. “I don’t want to work minimum wage or climb the corporate ladder or whatever, I want… I want something that makes me feel the way you do when you’re on stage. I want to feel like it means something that I’m still kicking.”

    “What do you want to do?”

    “You’re gonna laugh.”

    “You planning on becoming a comedian?”

    “Eds.”

    “Stevie.”
