    Summary

    “You’re being too hard on him.”

    Steve pretends not to hear it. He’s exhausted from staying up all night driving around fruitlessly trying to track Hopper. His head is pounding, his legs feel like they are filled with concrete and his stomach has been knotted for hours. They’ve only got a few hours before Erica shows up to the with her sleepy pie. All be wants to do is have a nap on the SQWK couch, not get berated yet again.

    Jonathan Byers, whoever, has never given him a single break. Today is no exception.

    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.

    Summary

    "Let's be honest: Kevin never thought he would ever feel compassion for Homelander. Or by anyone. By any human being. Lately the sea beings were the only ones able to win his sympathy. Sometimes he wondered what he was still doing among terrestrials. The bottom of the ocean seemed to him a thousand times more welcoming place.

    Homelander, however, managed to say something, in a certain tone of voice...
    Something, something about that...
    Kevin suddenly, in all these years, knew what this man was going through:

    'I’m so alone,' Homelander choked against his skin, right where his neck met his right shoulder. 'I’m so alone. I'm so alone I think I will die.'

    And then... Kevin's arms were suddenly sliding around his waist, wrapping that poor bastard in a hug:

    'Yeah.' He managed to mutter. 'I know.'"

    Summary

    If you’d asked Steve about his relationship with food, he’d smile and say “Fine, I guess,” because in his mind that was the truth. In high school, it wasn’t something he ever had to worry about. He ate regularly (and healthily, because his mother was always pushy about that) and anything excess was worked off during whatever sport he was doing at the time. The fridge was always fully stocked, he snacked like anyone else would, and everything was fine.

    It isn’t until after Vecna that things start to change.

    As the days go by, he starts to pay more attention to what he eats. He buys more greens and fruit and ugh, celery, and insists that it’s what’s best for him. It’s just to be healthy. He just wants to be healthy.

    That’s how it starts, at least, but one comment from Dustin changes everything.

    Steve had one line in S3 about “staying in shape for the ladies” and I ran with it
