    Summary

    Despite the literal horrors, Eddie was doing pretty damn well. He'd spent months suffering in the Upside Down and come back out the other side alive and mostly in one piece. The only thing that had really been irking him recently was Steve Harrington.

    Eddie had only seen him once, when Hopper first dragged him out of the tunnels, heaving for air under Eddie’s weight. Dustin had practically materialized in front of him and hugged him so hard it hurt, sobs wracking his body just as hard as they had the last time Eddie had seen him. Steve was a yard away, silent and straight-faced, and they made hardened eye contact over Dustin’s shaking shoulders.

    It struck Eddie that Steve didn’t exactly look happy to see him. He wasn’t really expecting the guy to fall at his knees or jump for joy or anything, but this cold sort of indifference was not really what he had envisioned. Honestly, Eddie had thought things were pretty good between them pre-bataggedon. They even had Hobbit-centric plans for when the world was done ending, but clearly something happened that put a cramp in whatever good thing they had going.

    OR Eddie is found alive, and it doesn't magically fix all of Steve's complicated emotions about him.

    Summary

    “Girls are great,” Robin agrees. She squints at Steve. His hands are shaking, jittering the videos, the sound of clacking plastic a soft undertone as she watches him. “But you have not just figured that out. You definitely knew that in high school. I saw you seduce so many girls, Harrington.”

    “I – yeah, okay. Look. It’s stupid. More than stupid! I mean it, Robin, this conversation is not worth having.”

    “Then it is a conversation? Just one you don’t deem to be of any worth,” Robin points out. Steve huffs, radiating frustration, so she carries on, prodding him repeatedly in the shoulder. He is tense beneath her touch. “This would be way easier if you just spelled it out for me, Steve.”

    “I don’t – I – there’s nothing to spell!”

    “I don’t believe you! Why are you suddenly so curious about girls?”

    “I’m not curious about girls!” His voice is abruptly loud enough to startle both of them. The words clang between them and she freezes in place, taken aback, but so does he. She watches him, lost, as he drops his stack of tapes and flushes in the sudden ringing silence, and then suddenly she’s not lost at all.

    Oh,” she breathes.

    Summary

    You know that feeling when your kid’s Dungeon Master—who you met briefly during that year your hometown almost got swallowed by an evil alternate dimension—calls you at two in the morning because he needs you to bail him out of jail?

    No?

    Steve Harrington is about to.

    Summary

    It’s 10:15 on a Sunday morning, and Steve is on Eddie Munson’s couch.

    More specifically: Steve is on Eddie Munson’s couch, in his boxer shorts and a shirt that's clearly been slept in, eating dry cereal out of the box and blinking slowly at the TV, which is currently playing WWF. His hair is more of a mess than Dustin has ever seen it outside of literal fights to the death. Eddie himself is nowhere to be seen.

    “What the hell are you doing here?” Dustin demands, dropping his backpack just inside the door.
