    Summary

    Something about that stops him short. “Wait, his family business was a diner?”

    “Yeah,” Robin says. “My mom hated it. I think she still blames the diner for ruining all our lives.”

    Steve furrows his brow, thinking. Something is starting to sound eerily familiar, but he can’t quite put his finger on it.

    “Here?” he asks, straining his mind in a bid to figure out why this information doesn’t feel new.

    “You might’ve known it, it was pretty popular,” she says, and that’s when his blood runs cold.

    Steve learns that Robin's dad is dead. Then he finds out just who her father was. Then, worst of all, he finds out she doesn't know the truth of his death.

    Or: Robin is Benny Hammond's daughter.

    Summary

    “It’s not your fault if those people weren’t prepared to grow with you." Steve's voice is slow and soft, like the first warm embrace of a summer breeze following a particularly cold winter. “And for those who don’t...well, fuck ‘em.”

    Then, he feels it. Fingers, quiet and hesitant, pressing gently against his own. They linger only for a moment—

    And then, they’re gone.

    Summary

    Jonathan,

    Checking to see if I got the right address for you guys. Just in case, you know?

    And I thought you'd want to know that even though the kids miss Will and El a lot they're getting by OK so far. Everybody is a little quieter but Mike isn't showing any signs of deppression which I know was like a legitimate concern. But you probably already hear about him from Nancy so I'm sure you already knew.

    Anyways you don't have to write back if you just put a big check mark over this paper and do the "return to sender" thing or whatever that works and I'll know you got it.
     
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Summary

    “If you could see one person one more time before the big bad Ruskies obliterate us,” Robin giggles, “who would it be?”

    Steve has been feeling so wonderfully unabashedly honest for these last few minutes or months or however long they’ve been here, tied together in their Scoops uniforms and possibly dying from beating-induced brain hemorrhages or Russian poison that he says, without hesitating, “Jonathan Byers. And I’d give him a big ole kiss.”
