    Summary

    Eddie’s still outside when headlights flash. When the familiar roar of the engine approaches and cuts, when the familiar shape, even in silhouette, ambles out.
    Steve doesn’t say anything. Doesn’t mention the half-full ashtray or Eddie’s bloodshot eyes, his curled up position or the flutter of the curtain behind them. Just sits down beside him.
    And Eddie’s never been good at this. At asking. At accepting, but Steve places his hand between them, and offers.

    Summary

    Request from @zerorkox-blog on tumblr: Hop & Joyce don't really like or trust Steve & he knows it. He can tell by their behavior towards him. Post spring break from Hell, Steve tears into them both after they insinuate that it's his fault for the kids being hurt. Steve YELLING at them in front of the party bc he is injured more grievously than the kids & he once again protected them, to the detriment of himself.

    Joyce & Hop are forced to acknowledge that their behavior was cruel. And they have to apologize but Steve doesn't accept their apology straight away.

    Summary

    “Let’s get this over with.” Steve mutters, setting his shoulders and planting his feet.
    Out of the corner of his eye, Gareth can see that Wayne is watching their standoff with a calculating expression.
    “We’re airing this out and moving on. And we are going to do it before Eddie gets home.” Harrington states with a finality that sets Gareth’s teeth grinding. As if Steve is the one who’s more concerned about their friend’s feelings than Gareth is at this point.

    Or

    Gareth has had just about enough of Steve Harrington in the fall of '86. He sets about to do something about it. It takes an angry mob, a Corroded Coffin gig and a baseball bat full of nails for him to change his mind.

    Gareth gets mad, Eddie gets beat up, Steve gets violent and Wayne is just really tired of everyone's shit.

    Summary

    "Hey," Steve says after a moment, with all the softness you'd expect were he trying to corner and catch a wild animal. "Are you alright, man?"

    Eddie, to his credit, tries to answer. It takes him a moment to find the words so at first he simply nods at Steve, one ringed hand pressing gingerly into his side, right where — oh. Suddenly it makes sense to Steve, like everything's clicked all at once, and he frowns. "Yeah, 'm good, it's just the, uh… the bites, you know?" And yeah, Steve knows. He knows better than most, actually, and the sympathy is all at once evidenced on his face. He can only hope it doesn't come off as pitying. "Quit looking at me like I'm some kind of kicked puppy, Harrington, it's weird."

    -
    or Steve doesn't realize how bad off Eddie is (or how down bad he himself actually is) when he ropes him into helping chaperone a movie night
