    Summary

    "It’s not ideal, keeping these recurrent headaches a secret from all of his friends, and sure, Steve's had his fair share of days where he’s been forced to just work through the pain, but he’s making it work. He’s managing.

    He’s fine."

    In which Steve Harrington is determined to suffer his migraines in silence, alone, and Eddie Munson is determined not to let him.

    Summary

    "As soon as he says it the fog starts to lift and that other feeling crashes over him. Fear, the reality of what just happened begins to weigh in. He feels his skin flush. He went into sub-space. For the first time in over a year. In public. In front of a few of his friends and even more strangers. Strangers that hated him. Hell, Eddie barely tolerated him. Eddie. He was looking at him. Shock, confusion, and something else on his expression, maybe pity? He clambers up and rushes past him, towards the door."

    OR

    Steve accidentally goes into subspace while observing a dnd session and Eddie takes care of him.

    Summary

    Steve stares at the receiver in his hand for what feels like an eternity, as if he wills it hard enough it'll ring again and she'll say all the things he wants her to. 

    It doesn't, of course. It stays still and silent in his hand. In the other room he hears an uproar of laughter and he just...can't. Can't go through there and face them and pretend that everything is okay. Can't lie to their faces and laugh along with whatever has them all in stitches like that. 

    So he doesn't. Instead, he goes to the back door and out to the yard, where he collapses to sit with his back against the wall of the house and his knees up to his chest. He doesn't even cry, not that he doesn't want to. He just stares straight ahead, biting the skin around his thumb, until he loses track of how long he's been there. He doesn't even hear the back door open again, doesn't realize anybody has come looking for him until Eddie is sitting on the ground beside him looking deeply concerned. 

    "Steve? You okay, dude?"

     

    Or: Eddie offers Steve comfort after a phone call almost ruins his birthday.

    Summary

    Hopper sighed out, “Getting used to getting your face beat in is not something that you should have ever had to deal with. You or Robin.”

    “Oh no, it’s really okay, Hop, I swear. It’s like, kind of my job, ya know?”

    “I’m sorry?” Hopper spoke up, looking at Steve’s face like he thought he may have misheard. The rest of the crew also turned to look at Steve with confusion on their faces.

    Or

    Steve doesn’t realize that his friends didn’t know about what happened in the underground Russian base and everything spills out when Hopper mentions his time in a Russian prison.

    Inspired by @plsdontnoticeme_ on tiktok and my extreme need for more Steve getting beat up by Russians trauma fanfics lmao

    Summary

    He had been on the edge of it, probably a lot longer than he realized. The build up of the break down. Standing just-so on the ledge that still gave him enough sense of stability; that he is still standing on his own—that he did not need help because there was nothing wrong.

    Except he was wrong, because Nancy Wheeler just kicked him square in the back and into a full on spiral.

    "Don’t fucking talk about my friend like that, Stevie. Don’t you fucking dare.” -Eddie Munson
