Summary
Eddie Munson has no clue about the hanky code. Which becomes painfully clear when Steve Harrington—who’s been trying to flirt with him by showing up at Eddie's auto shop with increasingly suspicious car troubles—has to spell it out.
Turns out, Eddie might not know much about the hanky code—but he does know how to make Steve fall for him without even trying.
"You just said I was a bottom, out of the blue, on a Tuesday afternoon, and you're gonna tell me to forget it?"
"I just thought you were, like—signalling."
Eddie squints harder.
"Signalling?""Yeah?"
"Signalling what? That I need a better life because I dropped out of high school and work in a garage for pennies?"

Summary
Steve ignores the cat, at first.
He’s digging a thumbnail into the meat of his palm, shuffling from foot to foot every so often, dragging a lip so hard between his teeth that Eddie’s worried he’s gonna make it bleed, and Eddie isn’t sure what to do. He wants to help, wants to somehow soothe the boy, but he isn’t sure how, thinks if he gets any closer to him he’ll only make things worse.
The cats meows again. Presses itself harder up against Steve, stretches up so its little front paws are against his thigh, kneading insistently, refusing to be ignored.
Steve sags a little. Reaches down with a trembling hand, strokes it across the cat’s head, and Eddie can hear the rumbling purr start up from the little creature. He watches as Steve loosens up, as his fingers unclench and his teeth release his lip and the frown fades slowly from his lovely face.
*****
Eddie's reluctantly helping Wayne with his produce stall at the farmers' market. He's resigned himself to a boring summer - until a new face shows up at the market to run a baking stall with his best friend. Steve is...odd, like no one Eddie's ever met.
And it doesn't take him long to fall head over heels for him.

Summary
“Honourable Justice Harrington, I have perjured myself on this stand today, and I would like to recant.”
“Dude, what are you—”
“I lied, man. I fibbed. I told a story. I—”
“Alright, okay. I get it.”
“I don’t read, uh. Gay porn for the articles.”
“Okay.”
“I more read it for the, you know.” He scrubs a hand over his face. Wishes he could hide. “Gay porn.”
(Or: scenes from Eddie's life after the world doesn't end.)

Summary
It’s 1991 and Steve is still in Hawkins, still living with his mother, still single, and still working at Family Video. At least he’s the manager now, for whatever that’s worth. But he’s stuck here while Robin and Dustin and everyone else have moved away. Moved on.
Well, everyone except for Eddie.
They're best friends, spend most of their time together, and it's nice to have a friend like that. But Steve is still looking for love with a capital "L". At least, he thinks he is.
