Summary
Dustin would have laughed if you’d told his younger self he’d become a regular drug user. That wasn’t him. The kid who went to science camp. Who was branded a genius. High school valedictorian. He wasn’t the type to go to parties every weekend. Except at eighteen that was exactly what he was doing. Every weekend a different dorm. Drinking because he really didn’t want to be the weird kid again. Drinking led to girls, which then led to boys, who were infinitely better. Which somewhere along the way led to ecstasy.
Except the feeling Dustin had been chasing always felt hollow. Never quite helping the way he wanted. The way he needed. And every single time he ended up calling Steve. Never speaking, just needing to hear his voice.
Until Dustin has a bad trip.
Taking too much. Flying no longer feeling like flying but falling into an endless abyss. Needing Steve more than ever.

“Last night... you said you love me?” The words were spoken so quietly Dustin could barely hear them. Phrased like a question and not a fact of the universe. Dustin Henderson loved Steve Harrington. Always had, in one way or another.
