    Summary


    June 1986
    Steve is lonely.

    He’s always been lonely, honestly. An empty house, absent parents, friends that didn’t really know him. Frankly, he probably doesn’t really know himself, either. It used to be easier to ignore—between sports and parties and searching for the next girl to hang around with.

    Then Nancy Wheeler told him he was bullshit. In the wreckage of the storm, he realized she probably hadn’t been that off base to call his life bullshit.

    [Life in Hawkins, Indiana is boring, ordinary, no supernatural entities. Steve still changes.

    Luckily, he still makes some new friends, too. Certain people are simply meant to be in the same story.]

    Summary

    “'I’m in love with you,' Eddie says, so casual, like it isn’t 3PM on a Tuesday in the middle of a Family Video in Bumfuck, Indiana. Like they’re somewhere else, like he’s someone else. Like it’s nothing extraordinary."

    Or:

    Five times Eddie tells Steve he loves him, and one time Steve lets himself say it back.

    Summary

    Eddie wakes from a nightmare about the bats. Again.

    About a week ago, Steve Harrington gave him his number with instructions to call if he needed anything. Said number is tacked on Eddie's wall under his Anthrax poster.

    555-9878
    -Steve H.

    But it's 3:17 a.m. and Eddie probably shouldn't call. Definitely shouldn't call.

    (Eddie calls.)

    Summary

    Steve is incapable of not taking care of the people he cares about. And against all odds, he cares about Eddie.

    Eddie has never been taken care of. Not like that.

    Or: Eddie & Steve fall in love, before Christmas but not too fast.

    Summary

    Eddie survives, but his entire life is locked away in the Upside Down forever (his books, his DnD stuff, his guitar.) Everything that wasn't on Eddie when Steve carried him into the ER, gone.

    So naturally Steve starts giving him things. Handing Eddie back those little outward markers of who he is.
