    Summary

    Steve tells the group about his gay awakening. It's not what you think.

    Excerpt:

    "He didn’t want to talk about Tommy. Ever. He didn’t connect the boy to the discovery of his sexuality at all.

    No, that came from someone else.

    And that’s where it gets ridiculous. That’s where he has Robin, Eddie, Nancy, and Jonathan gaping at him in his living room.

    But, if they didn’t wanna know, they shouldn’t have asked. Because one thing about Steve Harrington: he commits to games. Even a silly one like “Truth or Dare.”

    So when Eddie asked him, “So, how’d you know you were into dudes?”

    Steve replied, without hesitation, “Jonathan.”

    He waited a minute for dramatic effect, choosing not to elaborate."

    Summary

    “I mean, what if I never find someone? People like… like me. I’ve never seen it end well.”
     
    “Well, the first step is probably hanging out with someone other than your friend, right? Meet new people?”

    Will frowns. “But you still hang out with him. How’re you supposed to get over Eddie if you’re still hanging out with him all the time?”

    Steve’s eyebrows shoot upwards. "Uh. What?"

    ---

    Touched and a little confused after Will Byers came out to him, Steve decides he'll do anything in his power to make the kid feel a little less alienated. Including orchestrating a pretend relationship with Eddie Munson.

    Summary

    Steve takes the boys and Eddie on trip to the comic book shop for new D&D stuff. It doesn't go well.

    This was absolutely not how Steve had planned on spending his first Saturday free in a month. In all honesty, he hadn’t had any real plans except to not work today and not drive children around to do more fun activities than he himself was doing. In fact, he might have just laid on his couch in his goddamn underwear, drinking beer and listening to depressing sad girl music while he resolutely did not pine after Eddie fucking Munson.

    Summary

    “I was ten,” Steve starts, because that’s how it always starts. That’s how the story of his life is told.
    I was ten, begin a dozen unfinished, unsent college essays. I was ten, I was ten, I was ten.
    ***
    When Steve is ten, he's kidnapped by a serial killer alongside another boy, a stranger named Ed. When Steve is nineteen, he finds himself walking through the Upside Down with a man named Eddie. These events are more linked than he thinks.
    (Or: Steve and Eddie find each other in hell. Twice.)
