Summary
But then Eddie saw a whole pile of kids get in Harrington’s car, and he overheard Nancy Wheeler say that “Steve was babysitting,” and that image didn’t even remotely align with anything Eddie knew about King Steve “The Hair” Harrington, but he figured he didn’t know much, anyway, and it wasn’t any of his business, when it came down to it.
Eddie thought so little of it, in fact, that he had almost forgotten that Max had apparently been babysat by one Steve Harrington. That is, until Steve Harrington started showing up at the trailer park, picking up Max and driving away, and then Eddie wouldn’t see Max at home again for days on end.
Eddie didn’t know much about babysitting, but he was pretty sure the gigs were more of an hourly thing.

Or: Steve takes care of everyone, but Eddie takes care of him.

Summary
When Steve opens his eyes, Eddie is already looking at him. It’s hard to see in the evening light. Everything is dusk and smoke. All of Eddie has been softened by it. His smile lines, the faint bags under his eyes, his hair. It’s all… quiet.
“Hold out for another year,” Eddie says.
“Hmm?” Steve feels like he’s sliding out of clarity. The world is so smooth now. God, he’s high. He laughs. “What’re you talking about?”
“Don’t go to college. Hold out for one more year, Harrington. Then we’re hitting the goddamn road. Me and you.”
Steve waits for Eddie to laugh, to take it back. “You’re serious.”
“Deadly. So?” Eddie offers him the joint.

Summary
Steve is pulled away from his big city marketing job when a lucrative offer comes in on his old family home, only Hawkins is nothing like he remembers. In his ten year absence, the small town has transformed into a holiday wonderland.
The longer he stays in Hawkins, the more he gets reacquainted with old friends (including Eddie Munson, the summer fling he abandoned all those years ago) and makes some new ones. He also finds himself getting invested in the town's Christmas-y future and starts rethinking his plan to sell the house to a big Chicago development firm.
And as his old feelings for Eddie return, he wonders if his real mistake was running away in the first place.

Summary
Eddie Munson had lived through monsters before — real ones, with teeth and claws and a taste for blood. What he hadn’t prepared for was this: the way Steve Harrington kept pulling him into late-night conversations and half-lit car rides, like Eddie was supposed to know what to do with a heart that never stopped bruising.
It was supposed to be nothing. A slip, a laugh, a kiss that didn’t mean anything. Except Steve kept coming back, and Eddie kept letting him. Indiana still spat the same slurs, the newspapers still screamed about a plague in cities far away, and Eddie still knew better than to hope.
But hope had a habit of sneaking in anyway... tucked in the way Steve looked at him when he thought nobody else was watching.

Or: Eddie survived bats, Vecna, and Hawkins. What finally killed him was Steve “definitely straight, except when he isn’t” Harrington and his goddamn smile.
