Summary
Eddie made a strangled disbelieving noise, expression flickering. “You are not apologizing to me right now, for like, feeling a normal way about stuff. I can’t believe you.”
Steve pushed a shaking hand through his hair. His heart rate no longer in his ears meant he felt he could at least think a little more clearly. “Maybe it was the heat. Doesn’t always have to be something messed up, right?”
Eddie gave him a placating nod. “Sure, heat exhaustion is a helluva thing.”
It had been happening a lot recently. The… forgetting. Zonking out. Whatever. He was pretty sure he was just extra exhausted, it had been a few weeks since everything but it might have just been the adrenaline or something finally wearing off. Sometimes it was like he just forgot someone was speaking, or couldn’t remember for a moment what they’d been talking about. Like blinking out of a fog maybe.
It does not get better, in fact, it actually continues to get worse.

Summary
He’s halfway in Eddie’s lap as one kiss becomes three becomes five, and Steve forgets that he needs to breathe until his lungs burn from the lack of oxygen and force him to break away. Eddie chases after him and Steve can’t stop the small laugh that bubbles up in his chest - this is going to be the end of him, Steve doesn’t remember the last time he’s felt so wanted.
Steve wants Eddie, and after weeks of pining, he's sure that Eddie wants him too - until they fall into bed together and suddenly nothing is the same anymore.
In the aftermath, Steve tries to cope with the thought that Eddie just doesn't want him as much as he does Eddie - and Eddie, Eddie is trying to understand how he managed to lose his new best friend and one chance at love at the same time.In the background, Robin and Dustin may be debating if they should just lock the two in a room until they get over themselves and talk it out.

Summary
"Steve 'the Hair' Harrington, a rage-filled barbarian, who knew?" Eddie says, like its a compliment, like Steve has ANY idea what that means.
"Uh, I knew. Obviously." Steve says, wisely, even though he clearly didn't. "Anyway, do you think we could eat a demobat? Or would we turn into some kind of monstrous freak? I'm starving, and Dustin's cheese crackers are not enough to get me on my feet again."
"What difference does it make to me if I'm a human freak or a monster one?" Eddie shrugs, and Steve butts his shoulder up against Eddie. It's meant to be brotherly, maybe friendly, but it's too soft. Felt like something he might have done before slinging an arm around a girl's shoulders.
"You're not a freak." Steve says, and finds he means it.
Eddie's eyes, when he looks at Steve, are curious. "No?"
"No."

Summary
“I get it.” Dustin nods. “Completely fair. But, uh… what if this hypothetical gay person seems like he might be unhappy about it? And I want him to know it’s okay?”
Steve swallows past the sudden lump in his throat.
“That’s actually kind of sweet,” Robin says, sounding touched herself.
“Who is it?” Steve asks.
Robin raises her eyebrows. “It’s the Byers kid, right? I mean, obviously.”
