Summary
“Yeah?” Steve asks, though he really isn’t asking. “I guess I just finally figured out I should spend more time trying to make myself happy and less time trying to do what I think I’m supposed to.” The moment feels heavy between them, like maybe Steve wants to say more, or maybe Eddie should. But the problem with this crush of his, with his complete adoration with Steve Harrington, is that he no longer trusts his brain to tell him when he should and shouldn’t say things. And maybe he’s just reading into it, because Eddie always wants more with Steve. He wants every silly little conversation to be secret flirting, he wants the goodbye hug to linger longer than anyone else’s, he wants Steve to want. But Eddie Munson so rarely gets what he wants, it seems.
-- Or: Eddie Munson begrudgingly goes to Joyce and Hopper's New Years Eve party, and ends up with an unexpected (though definitely not undesired) New Years Kiss. Maybe he was wrong. Maybe 1987 is going to be his year.

Summary
It was the summer of ‘86, Vecna was gone and everyone had survived. Steve Harrington was ready for things to get back to how they should be. Give him his annoying kids, and boring job, and only occasional nightmares. He wanted Robin to stop acting stranger than usual, he wanted to stop being afraid of his too empty house, he wanted to feel normal. But Eddie Munson was the opposite of normal. He’s loud, and confusing, and (for some reason) always around. And the more Eddie started worming his way into his life, the more Steve found himself forgetting exactly what was so great about life before. Maybe those normal, and boring, and Eddie-less days weren’t what he wanted at all.
