Summary
Steve kind of hates Eddie.
He’s kind of loud, abrasive, has zero brain to mouth filter and also, Dustin sometimes seems to think he’s cooler than Steve, which is a load of shit. Steve is cool. Steve is fucking fun.
And he hates how Eddie doesn’t seem to know how to listen, because Steve told him not to be a hero. In those exact words, no ambiguity. He fucking told Eddie to not take any goddamn risks.

Summary
In the excitement of everything, everyone kind of forgot about Steve getting dragged to the Upside-Down. And getting choked out by a demobat. And being bitten by more demobats.
Robin remembers. She can’t forget, apparently.

Summary
After the mall burns down and Robin finds herself in a world where monsters are real, she has Steve. Steve and his stupid hair and his big smile and his sad eyes. Steve who she thinks she loves. Her best friend.
It shouldn’t have happened really, that she started genuinely liking the guy. As soon as she’d seen her roster sheet and known who she’d be working with the majority of the summer she’d almost turned around and begged off it. Now here she is and the guy has a face mashed beyond all recognition and she barely has a scratch on her and she should just go home. But she’s waiting for him outside a hospital room and she thinks they might be friends.
She’s sitting kind of off to the side wishing the guy she’s waiting for could come and sit outside with her even though that’s entirely illogical. Robin is pretty sure she’s meant to feel sort of awkward around Steve right now because he had confessed he liked her not more than three or four hours ago and then she had told him what she was and sure, in the moment of adrenaline and Russians and interdimensional monsters he had accepted her, but did that extend to her waiting outside hospital rooms for him?

Summary
Erica can still feel his hands on her where he'd grabbed her, she doesn't know what to do about it, who to speak to. Everyone seems so okay with everything, like they can't even remember what happened. Steve has those scars, those memories printed on his skin, and he seems perfectly fine. Erica should be fine too, she's not a kid any more, and she doesn't even have scars.
Erica doesn’t know what to do. If she talks to Lucas, he’ll start acting like she’s a kid again and she’s not, she’s older now than when Lucas got involved. She’s old enough not to need help and she’s not going to ask just because she’s a girl and can’t deal with it. Lucas dealt with it, she’ll deal with it.
So she’s just going to watch. Watch Max who almost died but seems fine. Lucas who fought Jason and seems fine. Pretends she doesn’t feel the phantom, nameless hands grabbing her, doesn’t feel the short blades of grass under her fingers as she scrabbled, feel his hot breath on the back of her neck like she was prey. Pretends there’s none of that, because it shouldn’t matter. She’s Erica Sinclair — can’t spell America without Erica — and she’s going to be just fine.

Summary
Eddie is very thankful that he still has on his sunglasses because Steve is showing more skin than Eddie has ever seen, even during his basketball days at Hawkins High. He’s wearing a white cropped Tears for Fears shirt and possibly the smallest blue shorts ever created. He’s got his hands on his hips and it draws Eddie’s attention to the scars lining his sides on full display. He’s almost wearing them like a badge of honor, refusing to cover them up like this. He wants people to know he fought and survived, it makes Eddie's stomach flip thinking about how that bravery was part of the reason he's even here.
or, 5 times Eddie sees Steve's scars and 1 time Steve gets to see Eddie's.
