Summary
He thinks about the relief in Eddie’s voice when he said he had a hunch about Steve’s whereabouts, like Dustin is the chosen one for understanding what makes Steve tick. Eddie’s joked about it before; he’d called it “sibling telepathy” when Dustin had silently communicated his popcorn order at the movies, and he’d nudged Steve in the ribs when Steve’s nose wrinkled meaning Gross, dude. Then Steve had huffed a laugh, nudging Dustin back. Okay, okay. I’ll pay for it, you little shit.
But Eddie gets Steve, too, Dustin thinks; that’s why he called him. And yeah, it’s different than the way Dustin understands Steve, but it’s significant enough for Eddie to make the cut of Steve Harrington Interpreters in Dustin’s mind.

Summary
On a bet with Gareth, Eddie sets out to prove that Straight Boy Steve is actually a pretty bang-up guy by worming his way in close enough to ask him out on a date.
Gareth bets that Eddie's gonna end up with a shiner. Eddie bets that Steve'll let him down easy, like a gentleman.
Neither of them bets that Steve has been taking all of Eddie's flirting seriously, and is planning to ask Eddie out first. It’s gonna get worse before it gets better.

Featuring favorites like… Steve’s family being lovey and protective, Steve heartbroken but trying to take care of himself this time, and a redemption arc for our favorite metalhead that involves cooking classes and falling in love with the babysitter really fucking hard.

Summary
It’s Steve and Eddie’s first anniversary and Steve is excited, really he is, it’s just…This is the first relationship to last long enough for an anniversary since Nancy; it feels big. He’s done his best to keep his anxiety under control—Robin keeps reminding him that Eddie is not Nancy—but he still feels like he has to get this right, has to make it the perfect anniversary or Eddie will leave him too.
So when a migraine attack hits him on their special day, Steve tells himself he just needs to nap some of it off and keep to their plans—after all, Eddie did get them “sports game tickets” as he so eloquently put it, and Steve doesn’t want to waste this opportunity of a partner actually showing an interest in the things he likes. Eddie shows him that the only thing that makes an anniversary perfect is them spending time together, even if it’s just a spontaneous romantic spa night at home.

Summary
“I told you. Dangerous jobs are my thing. Maybe, for once, Byers won’t try to beat me to the punch.”
“That’s not funny,” her voice is barely a hiss. She says something else that Dustin can’t quite make out.
What are they saying? What is she doing? Did she convince him that it’s an idiotic idea yet? She’s not actually considering it is she?
Steve wouldn’t do it. He can’t. Dustin won’t let him.
——————
During their short downtime in the Upside Down, Dustin overhears a conversation not meant for him. It leaves him uneasy.
