    Summary

    "Steve?" Nancy grabs him by the shoulders, the same way he did not too long ago. Not now. Not here. Please, it's too soon. We just got out of the last one. "Steve!"

    His eyes find her, glassy but present. 

    Silence has fallen across the bedroom all of the sudden. She can feel everyone's eyes burning into her and Steve, who is gapping like he can't find the air to speak. 

    The next one strikes close, light and sound mixed almost as one, making her window tremble. He shakes too, inside her grasp, and suddenly Steve —who barely breaks a sweat while running across forests and dark deserted lands— is hyperventilating. 

    "I-" he tries. "I don't- I can't-"

    Breathe. He can't breathe. 

    or

    Steve has a panic attack. And everyone else panics over it.

    Summary

    “I told you. Dangerous jobs are my thing. Maybe, for once, Byers won’t try to beat me to the punch.”

    “That’s not funny,” her voice is barely a hiss. She says something else that Dustin can’t quite make out.

    What are they saying? What is she doing? Did she convince him that it’s an idiotic idea yet? She’s not actually considering it is she?

    Steve wouldn’t do it. He can’t. Dustin won’t let him.

    ——————

    During their short downtime in the Upside Down, Dustin overhears a conversation not meant for him. It leaves him uneasy.
