Summary
Steve has never won a fight. He’s had his ass kicked left, right, and center. Hell, Johnathan has kicked his ass. Steve can bat a monster, but when it comes to people? Steve Harrington has never really won a fight.
But that’s because he’s getting put in the wrong kinds of fights. They think he’s a hammer, when really, anyone who grew up BFFs with Carol becomes a scalpel.
(Dustin gapes like a fish. “Holy shit, dude…” Steve would chide language if he thought it would do anything. “You just performed real life Vicious Mockery. I think that guy took psychic damage!”)
~~~
Or: someone thinks he’s tough shit and is messing with Steve’s kids. Cue the Boss Battle Music. Mama Steve rips the guy to shreds, as he should.

Summary
Look. It’s not Steve’s fault. It isn’t!
It’s just that someone can only get hit on the head so many times before their brain starts cracking, and Eddie Munson is always thinking so GODDAMN LOUD.

Summary
“We should have sex,” Steve blurts, and it almost sounds like a question. Eddie feels himself freeze, and his entire body flushes hot with equal parts terror and intrigue, because did Steve just say they should have sex? As in, together?
“Um,” Eddie manages. His brain is entirely off line, buzzing with frantic static and he begs his mouth to say something, anything, before Steve rescinds the offer.
::
Or, Eddie can't sleep without having nightmares, so Steve offers his assistance.

Summary
He calls Eddie, closes his eyes against the cold metal of the boombox and still feels his face heat up when he hears Eddie’s gravelly voice on the other end.
“Hello?”
“Munson, are you a fan of Slayer?”
There’s a moment and then that genuine laughter. The one that’s a little higher pitched than the low teasing one he puts on. “You called me at midnight to ask me about thrash metal? You’re lucky my uncle works nights.”
And maybe the music has shaken a few screws loose in Steve’s head because he grins and says, “You not allowed to talk to boys after dark?”

It's not so much that Steve doesn't understand himself, it's that he doesn't understand how anything fits without Eddie

Summary
“Are you seeing anyone?” Steve asked. Super casual.
Eddie snorted. “Oh yeah, I have to bar my door against all the potential suitors. People are really clamoring to get with me.”
People. Not girls. Huh.
“Not sure why you’re joking. There are a ton of people who would love to sleep with you.”
“Yeah, ha ha, very funny,” Eddie said rolling his eyes as he took another hit.
“I’m serious! You have to know you’re hot, right?”
Steve watched as Eddie swallowed, his throat bobbing as he cut a sideways look at Steve. “Dude, shut up. Nobody’s interested in me. I think I would know if they were.”

When Steve goes for a late night walk to the quarry, he runs into none other than Eddie Munson. After they both confide in the other about their personal struggles, Eddie offers to smoke with Steve in the back of his van. Steve agrees, only to get way more than he'd originally bargained for. He's pleasantly surprised.Series
