“Hold on,” Robin interrupts. “Hold on, is this— are you, like. Do you know what masochism is?”
“I know I act like it sometimes, Robin, but I’m not actually fucking twelve,” Steve says.
OR: Eddie has a black hanky in his back pocket.

“Eddie? What date is it?”
“I don’t know, I don’t know how long I’ve been out. March… 30? April 1st? Oh. Oh is it… is it April Fools? Cause it’s a shitty joke, Mayfield.”
“What year is it Eddie?”
He smiles at that, chuckles at the irony even though Max looks more and more upset, “It’s 1986, baby, my year.”*~*~*~*
The year is 2003 and Eddie Munson has missed a couple of things.

Summary
The year is 2001. The Fellowship of the Ring is out in theaters, and Steve is being dragged along to the supposed most important day of Dustin's life.
The thing is, Eddie Munson's coming, too, and Steve hasn't spoken to him in nearly six years. Not since misaligned feelings and an ill-timed love confession created a rupture Steve didn't know how to repair.
“We just drifted apart, man. That’s all.”
Dustin sighs dramatically. “Was it because you figured out you liked dudes and freaked out?”
Steve winces. It’s a joke. He can tell by Dustin’s tone, knows he likes to poke fun about Steve’s sexuality after he identified as a self-proclaimed ladies' man for so long, but it’s never come up this way before. Steve could deflect, but something in him shifts and instead he says, “More like because I figured it out too late.”
“Ooooooh,” Dustin breathes, and Steve can all but imagine the lightbulb flashing to life above his head. It makes Steve think of Dustin’s old hat with THINKING CAP on the front. “Oh my god, that makes so much more sense."

Summary
eddie moves in with his uncle right before his final year of high school (really this time) after spending the summer at a lake where he fell a tiny bit head over heels for steve. it was just a summer fling, definitely wasn't a big deal, definitely isn't something eddie will think about for the rest of his life. at least, that's what eddie tells himself right up until he finds out that the king of his new high school just so happens to be the very same steve.
