Summary
The day he faced a monster at the Byers' house, that should have been the end of it. That's how stories are supposed to go, right?
It's October 1984, and Demogorgons are still coming to Hawkins from the Upside Down, opening gates around Hawkins Lab. Every night, Steve patrols the woods, hoping to stop them before they kill anyone else.
Hawkins has had a hard year.
When the new guy that's been giving him shit in gym class is attacked by a Demogorgon, Steve saves his life. Now if only he would stop turning up in dangerous places in various states of injury... Because Demogorgons are attracted to blood.

Summary
Billy’s a tactile guy. He lies down with his head on Steve’s lap sometimes, and Steve loses track of his textbook watching the shadows cast by his eyelashes, but, like, they’ve been doing that since freshman year. And Billy always has a hand on Steve’s back when they’re in line at the dining hall, or when they’re out for drinks, because Steve has a tendency to wander off if he gets distracted. Billy always leans on Steve to catch himself when he trips, with a hand on his bicep or his chest, but it’s not like it’s Billy’s fault he trips a lot for a guy who’s otherwise well coordinated.
Steve doesn’t mind that Billy touches him so much, of course not. They’ve been friends for years at this point, and it’s honestly the strongest friendship Steve’s ever had.
It’s just that, if Billy starts dating Heather and she sees him hanging all over Steve, she might get the wrong idea, and it could make things awkward.
(Billy is pining, Steve is oblivious, and Heather doesn't want anything to do with this. Steve and Billy touch each other all the time, because that's what friends do.)
