    Summary

    Steve and Eddie got married on a Wednesday in November.

    “I got you a wedding present Stevie.” Steve smiled and kissed him excitedly. Eddie handed him the envelope and Steve held it out in front of himself. It was addressed to Eddie and there was a return address scrawled in the top left corner. Steve froze when he saw the name.

    Summary

    “Hey newbie. Ever worked in a bar before?” the guy asks with an easy smile. Steve snaps his eyes up to meet his, and shit they’re pretty. The greeting would be charming from anyone else, perhaps even from the guy himself if he’d not overheard the exchange moments before, but Steve’s insides curl at the condescension.

    “Yeah. For about five years. Thanks. And my name’s Steve,” he responds, voice clipped. He yanks at the ties of his apron, knotting the bow just a little tighter than is comfortable. He’ll have to adjust it later, but the man’s dark eyes are roaming over him like he’s something edible, and there’s no way Steve’s going to give any indication whatsoever that he’s prey.

    “Nice to meet you, Steve. I’m Eddie.”

    Steve can’t prevent the way his face scrunches in confusion, because surely not. There’s no way that this is the Eddie. Sure, he’s not exactly hard on the eyes, but from the little Steve’s experienced of him so far, he seems like a major ass. The way Bridget had hyped him up, anyone would think fucking Jon Bon Jovi worked here.

    OR

    when the upmarket cocktail bar Steve's working at goes out of business, he finds himself in desperate need of a job.

    Summary

    May 31st 1986, two weeks until graduation. Robin, Eddie, and Nancy are all set to walk across the stage, Eddie being given a free pass after the whole ‘almost framed for murder’ thing. The three have been trying to be excited about their graduation, but it feels almost mundane to be excited when Steve wouldn’t be there. They would be sat out on a football field in the blistering heat while waiting for their names to be called, with Dustin and Max in the crowd, cheering them on in Steve's place. There would be fake smiles plastered to all their faces, no matter how realistic they tried to make them.

    None of them have genuinely smiled since Steve got Vecna'd.

    Sixty-Five days. Steve had been in a coma for Sixty-Five days. The doctors keep telling The Party that it doesn't look good, that Steve's injures had been severe, and that they didn't know if, when, he would wake up.

    But they refused to lose hope.

    He'll wake up.

    It's just a matter of time.

    OR

    Five times Steve Harrington didn't wake up, and one time he did.
