Summary
It started with Dustin showing up at Scoops Ahoy! with a flushed face and an old walkie-talkie. Dustin thrusted the old walkie into Steve’s hands without a word, then turned on his heel and left as quickly as he’d come inside.
(AKA Five times Steve was there for the Party when they needed him, + one time the Party was there for Steve when he needed them.)

I've been trying to figure you out, tell me then would you lend a hand? by Dark_Rosaleen

Summary
“So, tell me what’s so great about Harrington, then.”
He doesn’t really know why he says it, it’s not like Eddie cares about the old King of Hawkins High; Steve Harrington is an asshole. That’s just a fact of life. The sky is blue, high school is pointless, Steve Harrington is a dickhead.
But Eddie likes this kid, likes all of them actually.
Dustin turns to look at him, a small smile on his lips, his eyes softening, and bingo.
-
Six times Eddie tries to understand who Steve is, and the one time he finally manages it. (and works some things out about himself along the way.)
Title is from 'Figure you out' by Djo - because I had to and the lyrics fit.

Summary
Parentified children are not given the time, care, love, emotional support, grounding, or security needed to develop and thrive. Without a role model, they are deprived of the opportunity to learn through observation and guardianship. For the most part, they are expected to keep it together and never show signs of distress. If they were to be needy or vulnerable, they are either ignored or sometimes punished. Eventually, they internalize the message that having needs and desires is not acceptable. They become ashamed of their vulnerabilities, and eventually, emotional numbness and self-denial become their second nature

Summary
Steve pulled into the driveway and honked his horn, then sat back to wait. It usually took the kid a few minutes to come out no matter how he let him know that he was ready.
He was not expecting Dustin to immediately come through the door and stop right at his window. Dustin wasn’t quite dressed- he looked like he still had pajama pants on, and he definitely wasn’t wearing any shoes. His hair was more wild than usual, too. Steve gave it a second, but Dustin just stood there and stared at him. With much trepidation, Steve rolled down his window.
“Mom wants you to come inside,” Dustin told him immediately.

AKA: Five times the Party’s actual parents stopped Steve to talk, and one time he started the conversation himself.

Summary
Robin snapped her fingers in front of his face, causing him to startle violently.
"Steve, are you even listening to me?" she asked, her expression twisted in clear annoyance.
Steve sighed, turning in his seat so he could get a better look at her mouth. Honestly, he was trying to drive. Couldn't she wait to talk until they got to work?
Or: Steve Harrington has lost the majority of his hearing. He just forgot to tell people about it.
