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
“There’s no point,” Eddie whispered. “You’re going to find out anyway.”
Steve’s breath caught.
Eddie squeezed his eyes shut.
“Just-” His voice shook violently. “Just don’t look at me like I’m not who you thought I was.”
Steve didn’t answer right away.
When he did, his voice was steady. “I promise.”
Eddie nodded once. That was all the permission he had left to give.
//
When Eddie is abruptly cut off from hormone therapy, his body begins to betray him in ways he thought were long behind him. When his period returns at Steve’s house, the secret he’s been protecting for years finally comes apart - and Eddie is forced to trust Steve with the most vulnerable parts of himself.

Summary
“How can I help you, sweetie?” Eddie asks, voice low and kind. “Tell me what to do, and I'll do it. Anything to take your pain away.”
“I don't know,” Steve cries, a free tear slipping from his eye. “Everything hurts. I can't relax.”
Eddie bites on his bottom lip, adjusting them so Steve’s legs are now wrapped around his waist. He can smell the copper scent coming from his vagina, as well as the insistent pump of his mate’s pheromones. “You know I have a theory,” he says.
Steve just looks up at him, his doe eyes sad in pain and titled downward like a sad puppy. He hums, telling Eddie to tell him the theory without actually telling him.
“You know how sex relieves heat? Well…what if it helps relieve your period, too?”
