Summary
“Then, pray tell, why did the Elder Wheeler send you to do it?” Eddie stares you down from his place on top of the lunch table like a hunter examining his prey, calculating his next move.
“No one else wanted it,” you deadpan, moving your head to look at his eyes instead of his shoes. “I think people actually ran away when Nancy said it was Hellfire week.”
“Hellfire week,” he repeats slowly, taking his time with the words. “I like the sound of that.” He cocks his head to the side and crosses his arms. “And what if I said that we’re not interested in a feature?”
Or: Eddie Munson reads the school newspaper and takes a liking to your articles. You pretend to be blind to his affections until it's impossible to.

Summary
It's hard to say when it started. Time flies when you're capturing demodogs and discovering covert, Russian underground operations. However it began, there was one thing of which you were entirely certain.
You were in love with Steve Harrington. And Steve? He was in love with... Nancy Wheeler. Same as always.
After the Battle of Starcourt, you took some time away - tried to shake it off. And it worked. You were over him... at least, you thought you were. But things are feeling weird again in Hawkins, Indiana, and the familiar scene of otherworldly horror and gore has your heart picking right up where it left off. This is familiar territory.
But there's a new face in the mix. Another big-haired boy has your gaze slipping from the one you've loved for so long. Though now, when you glance at Steve out the corner of your eye, you're finding his gaze already on you. It keeps happening, more and more. Why do you feel like you're dancing on a very thin line? Why does it scare you more than Vecna ever could? They say it takes two to tango, but what do you call a dance for three?
You might not get out of this alive. And you don't just mean that figuratively.
Things sure are getting stranger.
