Summary
In 1998, 72.5 million passengers passed through Chicago O'Hare International Airport.
One of them was Steve Harrington. In fact, a lot of them were Steve Harrington. Every Friday, just like clockwork, he strides off flight 303 from JFK to ORD, in his suit and tie, phone plastered to his ear.
Somewhere else in Chicago, Eddie Munson's life is pretty good. He lives with his best friend. He works nights at a bar he loves. No, it's not what he'd imagined his life was gonna be like at thirty-two, because Steve isn't here, and there was a time he couldn't ever imagine living his life without him.
But he has, and it's fine, everything's fine. Honest.
He's accepted it. Fortunately, the universe, and Gareth, have not.
After a chance sighting in that busy airport, Eddie has the chance to try and reconnect with Steve after nearly a decade apart.

Summary
Working with Steve Harrington is… not what Robin had expected.
It’s abundantly clear that he doesn’t want to be here (join the club, buddy), but it isn’t half as difficult to get him to do things as Robin had thought it would be.
Honestly, she’d been expecting a spoiled rich kid: someone who had no idea how to do the kind of labor involved in a minimum wage job. Instead, she’s (almost pleasantly) surprised to find that when the time comes, he actually buckles down and works. He scoops ice cream, he restocks, he cleans, he takes on customers with a smile that could actually pass as real – he does his job.
The surprises don’t end there.

Robin learns a number of surprising things about Steve Harrington over the summer of 1985. She's not even sure the fact that he's had numerous brushes with another dimension takes the top spotSeries

Summary
“What in the world are you doing here?” he then asks, when he got his voice back and Steve, now kneeling on the ground sorting through the dirty laundry he brought, just shoots him a look.
“Uhh…laundry?” He looks a little lost, as if he doesn’t really understand the question.
“Um, yes, I can see that,” Eddie replies, shutting his book, “but why is Steve Harrington doing laundry…here? At a laundromat?”
Steve frowns and turns completely around, giving Eddie his full attention now. “Well, Eddie Munson” he says, putting emphasis on it, as if to prove Eddie’s not the only one who knows full names around here. “There’s a very simple answer to that. I don’t have a washing machine…but I like to wear clean clothes. You know?”
or: It’s laundry day. Eddie runs into Steve Harrington. Something’s not adding up.

Summary
No one tells Eddie Munson anything.
He didn’t know there was a hellmouth beneath the town until it crept into his trailer and nearly killed him.
He didn’t know that Dustin and Mike’s minds for Dungeons and Dragons were based on real life experiences until Dustin found him in Reefer Rick’s shack.
He didn’t know that Steve Harrington was actually a pretty good guy until he took his side against improbable odds, nor did he know that Steve would stick around when all was said done— well after Eddie’s wounds stitched themselves back together alongside the gashes in the center of Hawkins— until he did.
And he sure as shit didn’t know that he’d gone and developed an all-consuming crush on Steve until his unlikely new friend, Nancy “I’m Observant And Know Everything” Wheeler, had to go and bring it up.
Or, Eddie's been writing love letters he never intends to send. When he's interrupted by Steve for an impromptu fake date, he receives much more than the promised promotional free dessert.
