Summary
Maybe Eddie’s not in the best decision-making headspace. Maybe it’s the alcohol, or Hagan’s stupid fucking smug smirk, or the sudden realization that this is an amazing opportunity to show off in front the boy of his dreams, who’s currently watching the staring match with mild concern. Harrington’s eyes on him, for longer than a second of exchanging a baggie for dollar bills and a half-hearted “thanks”. Yeah, that would be nice. Very self-indulgent.
Eddie accepts Tommy Hagan's challenge at pool. Little does the arrogant jock know, Al Munson is not only a criminal but a goddamn hustling genius, and he taught Eddie everything he knew.
Predictably, Hagan is an incredibly sore loser, and Steve Harrington needs to step in before things get ugly. They do get ugly, for a bit; but then they take a turn, in a way Eddie never could have expected.Written for Steddie Love Month day 4 prompt: pool

Summary
“We’re probably meeting him for the first time,” Robin tells Chrissy, as Chrissy fixes her hair for her, “we should make a good impression.”
“I don’t think they have opinions babe,” Chrissy tells her gently, licking her thumb and then using it to rub a scuff off Robin's cheek.
“You can’t know that for sure. I bet they judge us. Silently. Plus I’ve never met one before, I’ve seen them working loads, you know, on Earth, but I’ve never...spoken to one. Not properly.”
“My parents had a house model, when I was little,” Chrissy volunteers, “she was really nice. Mostly she did all the chores and meals and stuff. Ordered the groceries. She was so good at Mahjong.”
“Huh. Do you think this guy will play Rummy with us? It’s better with four.”
“You’re cute,” Chrissy tells her, before kissing the tip of her nose, “should we have a countdown?” She asks, turning her attention to Eddie.
“Only if you’re willing to do it more than once if this doesn’t work?”
Chrissy wrinkles her nose, “probably not?”
Eddie shrugs, flips his visor screen down, and hopes for the best.

Summary
Robin gives Steve a long, considering look. Finally, she says, “You know, you’re really fucking weird, right? I mean. Like,” she waves a hand, “I wish I knew this when you were in school, Harrington. You’re just really fucking weird.”
“Thanks?”
Robin squeezes his shoulder and says, “I appreciate that you think that’s a compliment.”
Or-
In the summer of ’85, Steve works at Scoops Ahoy, fights some Russians, and makes some new friends.
Or-
Steve Harrington makes a mixtape.

Summary
“I called your mom, by the way,” he says. “Told her I was picking you up.”
“Are you taking me back?” Dustin asks, nervously. He didn’t really consider that calling Steve to pick him up might involve Steve dropping him off back to Hawkins. He really doesn’t want to be there right now, he feels too much, everything is too much, too big, the future looming over him feels too intimidating.
“Not yet,” Steve says, and Dustin lets out a relieved breath. “I told her we can put you up for the night and then tomorrow we can figure out what to do, yeah?”
Dustin looks at him, the kind slope of his mouth, the worried lines on his forehead. He suddenly feels bad for upending Steve’s life like this. Surely he had plans for the day, maybe work or school, something he had to do that now has been interrupted by needing to save Dustin, again, but from himself rather than from alternate dimension monsters.
“Sorry, Steve.”
or,
It's senior year, and Dustin is having a hard time coping with everything. He runs away to Indianapolis in search of the comfort only his two best friends can give him, not knowing what he'll find when he gets to the other side.
