Eddie: lmfao i fell asleep in steve’s bed again
Eddie: idk
Eddie: do you think it means anything that steve invited me to his room to watch a gay as fuck movie on his laptop
Eddie: and that he did that stupid fucking yawn arm behind the back move on me
Eddie: and that he held me all night long while he slept and i played minecraft on his laptop
Eddie: i mean it could mean nothing right
Nancy: no wonder you’re so bad at connections
- Steve and Eddie are being stupid about their feelings. Their friends can only watch for so long before they need to intervene. (Or: The texting fic nobody asked for)

Summary
“I’m just so proud of you, baby.” He feels a weight lifted off his shoulders- which is ridiculous, he’s ridiculous for thinking that she would be anything but proud. Nonetheless, he feels relieved. He smiles, fiddling with his fingers again.
“It’s really nothing.” He says, “Mike keeps talking about how they’re innate but…but they’re not. They’re siphoned, from Vecna.” The mention of his name makes Joyce’s eyes go wide.
“Well, last I checked no one else can do that.” She shrugs, her eyes still wide. Will chuckles, looking at the floor, “Hey, all I’m saying is that I think you need to have a little more trust in yourself.” She leans forward, putting a hand on his cheek. He leans into it, into the warmth of her hand, “You didn’t fail, okay?” She says, and he nods, even though he doesn’t really believe it, “You saved Mike- all your friends. You did that, baby.” She shakes her head, “Not Vecna, just you.”
Will can feel himself tearing up for about the millionth time that night, “I can make it right.” He settles on, “We just need a new plan, a better plan.”
Right, a better plan. Easier said than done.

Summary
After Star Court and the Russians, Steve has trouble sleeping. Even when he does manage to fall asleep, the nightmares wake him up and he can't get back to sleep. Nothing he's tried so far has helped: enter Eddie Munson. Steve goes to Eddie for an herbal remedy to help his problem, but on the way to meet him, stumbles upon a strange plant in the woods and ends up with a face full of weird spores. Noticing that Steve seems under the weather, Eddie offers to drive him home and help him out, but it turns out what he's got is a hell of a lot different than the common cold.

Summary
Mike barks a laugh. “I’m, unfortunately, requesting your companionship Thursday night to see Child’s Play 2 with Will and I.”
She sends him a look of bewilderment. “How did I get dragged into your date with Will?”
“Y’know, it’s really great that I can count on such discretion from you and Lucas. Super awesome that you don’t tell each other everything.” Max ignores him and he continues on. “Well, I tried my best, but he kind of looked at me all-dumbfounded and wasn’t saying anything, so I panicked.”
“Well, duh. He’s liked you since, like, birth. Did you even give him enough time to answer?”
“Of course I gave him enough time to answer.” Mike grits out, voice tight. “I know how to have a fucking conversation with someone, Maxine.”

Mike Wheeler can’t pick a major to save his life, is fighting for said life in the worst class ever (Astronomy 101), and is desperately trying to romance the best person in his life.
