    Summary

    After an altercation with his dad, Steve hides away in the pantry in his kitchen and calls for help on the walkie-talkie. Luckily, Eddie is awake and comes to the rescue, stealing Steve away to stay at the Munsons’ until it’s safe for Steve to go back. Steve hates when either of his parents come home to visit, especially when it’s his dad. It feels ridiculous to say but Steve thinks he’d rather face another Demogorgon.

    A Demogorgon will smell blood in the water and kill on sight, but Mr. Harrington has a habit of dragging it out and making sure his prey knows they’re bleeding. The monsters under the bed are nothing compared to the monsters down the hall, Steve’s an expert. He’s known for a long time now how messed up it all is, he knows he needs out, needs help, but it feels impossibly hard. It’s normal for him and he’s dealt with it this long, he just needs to tough it out until he can afford his own place.

    It doesn’t occur to Steve that he has a plethora of people willing to fight monsters at his side, whether the monsters are from the Upside Down or his own home. With the help of his monster hunting crew, Steve escapes his parents and learns what love is really supposed to be.

    Summary

    “Hear me out,” Steve begins, and Eddie’s heart is already in his throat. “I like sex. I’m good at sex—and you’ve never had sex before, am I right?” Eddie nods meekly. “What if we just…had sex?”

    “Do you proposition all of your friends?” Eddie tries to joke, but it falls flat.

    Eddie and Steve visit the girls at their apartment, and through a game, Eddie reveals a bit too much about himself than he would have liked to.

    Summary

    Eddie can’t sleep.

    He blames it on the uncomfortable bed in Steve’s guest room, all the people coming and going at all hours, the nightmares, the pain, the loneliness and fear.

    Most of all, he blames it on Steve Harrington.

    Summary

    “Hey,” Steve says slowly. “Uh…”

    “I cut my hair,” Eddie croaks.

    “I see that,” Steve says. “Do you like it?”

    And Eddie can’t even answer that question. He chokes on the thought of it, a sob pushing out of his chest and throat and suffocating him. He feels like he’s dying, like he’s choking on blood all over again, like he’s lost too much of himself to get up and walk away from it this time.
