Summary
His voice came out jaded, “I can’t believe you, of all people, you are like me.”
He was jaded because Steve was telling him he’d felt the same heartache. He was sure the feeling would morph back into comradery, but right now, it was indignation. Men like Steve had everything, and now he had this too. Steve was right; he wasn’t a freak; he wasn’t special. He was just a normal fucking guy with self-cut bangs and bad tattoos. This was all he had, and somehow Steve had commandeered that too.”
OR
A story in which Steve is relentless in picking Eddie apart as they walk through The Upside Down. Eddie folds, obviously.

Summary
When good luck hit Eddie, first by Billy Hargrove waking him up in the Upside Down, then by figuring out a plan to actually get back, executing that plan to success and crawling out of Lover's Lake only to find Steve Harrington eating a bag of chips whilst he sat on the front of his car. He didn't know quite what to do with it. He simply sat at the water's edge as the sun went down, breathed in a way he'd almost forgotten how to and watched Billy Hargrove shake Steve mercilessly by the shoulders before Steve dropped his chips and slapped him across the face in shock.
