Summary
Sure, he kind of figured people might make it a big deal. After all, it wasn’t just Sam Owens as their coach talking up how this men’s team for USA Gymnastics could be the ones to break the streak since the Trials — it’s the whole of the gymnastics world, and goddamn if people didn’t love an underdog. It’s only that he’d just also sort of figured it’ll be about all of them: him and Lucas and McKinney and the rest of them. But they’d latched onto him, and now Steve has people tweeting about him and asking if he has a girlfriend or a boyfriend or someone, making memes and TikToks and edits, there’s a fucking timer, apparently, on NBC, or so Erica’s saying there’s gonna be (and historically she can’t be trusted not to lie to Steve’s damn face for fun, so he’ll believe it when he sees it, right), when Finals for the team come around, counting down to his event. The Harrington countdown. And, like, someone called him Clark Kent during the team qualifications? Like! What the fuck. How fuckin’ wild, right? Him. Jesus!
Or: This Steve's job is horse. Also, he's got an unfortunate crush on a middle-aged former rock star.

Summary
To Eddie, it’s weird, almost wrong, that he can do all this now—can run and jump into the water, cannonballing right in the middle of everyone to cause maximum water damage, can dive deep until he pops up in front of Steve to spray water in his face—when just last summer, he couldn’t even get up to the bathroom without help. Months on months of bed rest, nearly a year of physical therapy, what felt like endless nights of sobbing into his pillow from the pain. It doesn’t feel real. It doesn’t feel like he earned it.
—
It’s the summer of 1987 and Eddie’s still healing, still falling in love.

Summary
Steve wakes up to the smell of weed and Dial soap, and a hand around his dick. Idly, he keeps pumping, his long fingers with thick calluses from guitar strings rough on the already too-sensitive skin. Even as he continues, he knows Eddie’s going to be so mad about it. Going to either show up to the trailer in twenty minutes with a red face and cartoon steam coming out of his ears, or Steve will see him at school and get the cold shoulder.
It’s not Steve’s fault, though! Eddie’s the giant hypocrite for jerking off while thinking of Steve after making the no dick touching policy.
Or, in a world of body-swaping soulmates, Eddie Munson still manages to make the wrong assumption.

Summary
“I don’t have any folks,” Steve says, all matter of fact, like he’s telling Eddie the weather. “Because they turned me out.”
Eddie looks up at him. His head is spinning, a little dizzy from the drink, and he feels stupid for it. Not safe, when he’s gotten addicted to the way Steve licks his lip, chews on it with his teeth. “Why’s that?” he asks.
Steve turns and looks at Eddie. He’s pretty in the firelight, all golden glowing and flames reflected, dancing in his eyes. His mouth is twisted up in a bittersweet smile. He looks like a wary dog, longing for touch but too used to pain to accept any of Eddie’s gentle petting. Idly, Eddie thinks he’d pet Steve real nice if he’d let him. And, like he can read Eddie’s mind, Steve stands, crosses their campsite and sits himself down, right in Eddie’s lap.
“‘Cause of this,” he whispers, and leans down over Eddie, and catches his mouth in a kiss.
Or, Eddie doesn't much like Wayne's new hired hand that Eddie's going to be alone with all summer.

Summary
Hawkins is a small town, everyone knows everyone—and Eddie has been in school with Steve Harrington since kindergarten. They were in the same third grade play in elementary, they were square dance partners for a week in seventh, and they had three years in the same remedial math classes in high school. Eddie knows his way around Harrington’s house as well as any other teenager in Hawkins does, went to all the same house parties, the same field parties, the same lake parties. Hell, Eddie has sold Harrington weed countless times, he’s one of his best customers because Harrington pays extra for Eddie to roll for him.
So, how the hell did Eddie not know Harrington was an omega?
