    Summary

    Steve cops a faceful of Upside Down flower pollen in the tunnels, hours after Billy Hargrove tries to punch Steve's brain out the back of his head. Beyond the general hubbub of UD bullshit, Steve thinks he's made it out pretty much unscathed.

    Months later, he makes a discovery. Turns out, he's much more intact than he'd thought. As in, his skin is baby smooth. Even the scar on his knee from his ill-advised ‘77 summer of skateboarding has disappeared.

    OR: Steve Harrington can take a hit. He can take many hits. In fact, thanks to the Upside Down, there isn't a hit Steve can't take.

    Summary

    “Oh,” Steve says. Then again, “oh,” a little quieter. His expression changes; from confusion to something pained almost. “Mr Munson, I don’t…” he takes a deep breath, his voice a little shaky as he continues. “I don’t think he…I don’t think he likes me like that.”

    He doesn’t say “it’s not like that.” Neither does he say “I’m not like that.”

    That’s the first thing Wayne notices.

    “Wh—oh, you gotta be shittin’ me.”

    “Are we locked in here?” Eddie asks, and it comes out as an embarrassing squeak.

    Summary

    “Well, I would order food, but I don’t really know if you’re gonna stay.”

    Eddie blinks at her. “Why wouldn’t I?”

    “I don’t know. Why wouldn’t you?”

    There’s a whole laundry list of things Eddie could say in response: because your little brother put me up to this, because I don’t know you, because Dustin was right and you’re absurdly pretty, but he also failed to mention that you are incredibly out of my league as well. Miles and miles out of my league. You’re in a whole different galaxy while I’m still stuck on planet Earth.

    “You look like Brooke Shields,” he blurts instead, and is proceedingly mortified at himself and his own blunt words, and also how ridiculously uncool that line sounded. 

    Even so, it’s true.

    Stevie Henderson is beautiful.

    Apparently, Dustin has an older sister. Eddie is the opposite of boyfriend material. Nobody seems to care about that.
