a beautiful day in the neighborhood by birthdaycandles

Summary
Steve hasn’t cried in a really long time. It always made him feel like shit, especially if someone else was there to witness it, but for some reason it feels incredible right now. Even with poor Robin, who seems utterly lost but is still rubbing circles on his back because she’s just that good, there to witness it. It feels amazing and Mister Rogers must be proud of him for allowing it because he’s singing in the background.
(or, steve harrington watches mister rogers and learns to process his emotions)

Summary
“I just thought, y’know, you looked upset. When you left just now.”
Steve stares blankly. His cigarette is dangling over his bottom lip. “And?”
“And,” Jonathan shifts from one foot to the other and a bit of the old resentment he felt for Steve is dredged back up because he can’t believe this asshole is gonna make him say it, “I thought I should check.”
(a missing scene from after the halloween party in 2x02)

Summary
“You’re donating,” Jonathan glances back down at the paper, “your bat, your car, your TV, and all your money?”
“Yeah, you know, I was kinda busy with graduation so I’m doing my spring cleaning now.”
“Steve, don’t fuck around.” And once again, there it is. Jonathan Byers looking at him with the exasperated impatience of someone who thinks they’re so much smarter than him. So much more mature than him. If he wants to be like that, fine.
“It’s a will. Happy? Stop looking at me like that or you’re gonna get taken out of it.”

Summary
“He’s dressed like Steve.” Dustin says plainly, monotone in that way he gets when he’s genuinely upset and not just worked up for show.
“Why?” Mike is asking because he still hasn’t processed the ugly fact of the matter, reasonably so considering how bizarre it is to witness someone be so braindead in public, but Lucas would like an answer that addresses the other type of why. Like, why is Conner Marrigan such a fucking asshole?
“Clearly, uh, Marrigan wanted to have a costume no one else would think of.” Eddie chimes in. For once he sounds almost nervous, though Lucas has no idea why. “I figured I’d let you know, considering your allegiance to Harrington and also the general fact that it’s a pretty fucked up thing to do.”
