Summary
"Just … just a li’l nap," Robin whispers, voice hoarse, cracked in places he’s not used to hearing.
"Yeah." Steve flips the palm on her brow to the cooler side, runs the other through her hair. One hand of hers curls into his shirt again, so weakly he feels no difference. "Just a nap."

Summary
"And you?" Tom presses. "Why are you not leaving this place behind, now that you can?"
It’s maybe the first time since they got in the car that Steve fully turns to look at Tom.
He moves slowly, almost reluctantly, as though he’s been avoiding direct eye contact on purpose all along. There’s something resembling a tear hanging from his lower lashes, jittering with each blink but never falling. His eyes exhausted more than anything else, ringed with dull redness. He doesn’t seem to find what he’s been searching for in Tom’s expression, or he found it too quickly, because the next second his gaze is already somewhere else again. Outside of this world. With Robin, maybe.
"I can’t go," he says simply, tapping the wheel with two fingers. "Robbie’s here."
He shrugs, as if that’s the simplest and most logical of conclusions. "She didn’t get to leave. So why should I?"
or: Four years after fleeing from Hawkins, four months after Robin Buckley’s death, Mr. Hauser returns – only to find himself crossing paths with none other than Steve Harrington.
