    Summary

    “I know you care about what those little twerps think of you, and I can assure you they think way too highly of you,” Eddie says with a wink, and Steve gives a half-hearted smirk for just a moment. “But look… I know I can’t ask you to stop worrying about those kids, so how about this? You worry about them, and you let me—actually let me—worry about you.

    Steve pushes his hair back, and yet again, gravity instantly pulls it back down, since he’s looking at his feet. “…I don’t need anyone to worry about me.”

    “Too fucking bad. Someone’s gotta do it, and it’s gonna be me.”

    “Why?” Steve replies with a raspy laugh, shaking his head slowly.

    Why? Why.” Eddie crosses his arms tightly across his chest, knocking his foot into Steve’s again with a bit more strength. “Because we’re friends, dipshit.”

    --In which Eddie's got a reason he's been planning on leaving Hawkins since long before the world almost ended. The only thing keeping him in town at this point? His promise to be friends with Steve Harrington. And Eddie doesn't break promises.

    Summary

    When Steve nearly runs over Will Byers on that fateful night in 1983, he doesn’t expect offering him a ride home would result in both of them being hunted into another dimension. Surviving there is hard. Adapting to normal life again is even harder. His old self settles like an ill-fitting suit, and there’s no room for nightmares and fear and his new bond with Will in it. As he struggles to find a new normal he can live with, Steve finds himself befriending a bunch of kids and maybe (definitely) falling in love with a local weed dealer.

    Summary

    The truth is that he’s kept this love on the back burner of his heart for so many years that he’s grown accustomed to the smell and can sometimes almost ignore it completely. He likes to think he’s made peace with the fact that he’ll never know what it tastes like.
