Eddie has to find a way to slip away from community service
༒༒ Excerpt ༒༒
“You’re going!” Nancy demanded, handing Steve a flyer to an Earth Day event that was being held by the school.
---
“You’re going!” Hopper commanded, shoving a flyer against Eddie’s chest. “Consider it community service.”
---
Eddie barely paid attention to Hopper’s speech. He hadn’t expected Steve to be there, and he looked good in his fitted jeans and letterman jacket. It was hard not to stare at him, but it made the idea of community service a little more bearable.“…in order to do that, we’re going to be splitting into groups.”
Shit!

Summary
Steve's two closest friends are an anxiety ridden lesbian and a chaotic metalhead that people whisper about on the streets. Steve often got funny looks when he was out with his little trio, thinking "what the hell is he doing with those two". The thing is, Robin and Eddie are the only people that really got it. They had all been through hell together. Him and Robin twice now. Steve couldn't imagine leaving them, even if a few years ago he'd laugh at anyone that would say this was his life now. Each of them were lonely, and they each filled that void in different ways.
After going to see Labyrinth, Steve learns more about Eddie, something he didn't expect. Through new experiences and time spent together, they find their shared loneliness can be solved by one another. New bonds are formed, relationships strengthen and secrets begin. Through this and with Eddie's help, Steve finds the part of him he'd been hiding away for so long.

Summary
Eddie spins on his heel in the middle of the room, slowly taking in the space before he fixes Steve with an awkward, closed-mouth smile. Steve feels himself return it. Ringed fingers curl and straighten compulsively by Eddie's side as he tilts his head.
“And we’re sure there are no other rooms?”
Steve feels the smile slide off his face.

In the aftermath of their final battle against Vecna, Hawkins is put under quarantine. Steve and Eddie bunk up.
