    Summary

    "Hey Dustin?" Steve says, gathering all the courage left in his heart.

    "Yeah?" Dustin replies, not turning around.

    "Hey about uh... some of the stuff that I said earlier. I just-"

    Dustin doesn't let him finish. "It's fine," he interrupts him. "It's okay."

    But Steve knows it isn't. The bitter aftertaste of the hateful words he's said is still lingering in his mouth. "No, just- It's not okay."

    Dustin freezes.

    "Eddie," Steve starts, the name ringing in his ears. "He saved your life. Our lives. And I know what he meant to you. I can't even imagine how hard it's been. But instead of just being there for you, I just..." he trails off, twisting the spear in his hands, absentmindedly. "Well, I got angry about it. I guess..."

    Dustin looks at him, but he doesn't quite understand.

    "I got angry, because things were different."

    Summary

    He couldn't do this. Couldn't stand here and watch Harrington struggle to do something as basic as standing up.

    Because if he stayed, if he watched him try to get up and fail, or worse—if he watched Harrington succeed but saw how much effort it took, how much pain it caused—then he'd have to acknowledge it. He'd have to name it.

    He'd have to accept that he'd done something unforgivable.

    He'd have to accept that he'd taken someone who'd gotten under his skin in ways Billy didn't have words for, someone he couldn't stop watching, couldn't stop thinking about—and he'd ended him. Reduced him to this broken thing on the floor.

    And Billy Hargrove didn't do guilt. He didn't do regret—he didn't do apologies or amends or any of that weak pathetic bullshit.

    So he left.

    Summary

    He knew he shouldn't be driving, of course he knew that.

    But he was better now. Stronger. The headaches were less frequent, and he hadn't had any dizzy spells this week aside from the typical vertigo that followed him whenever he woke up, or turned his head too fast.

    Plus, it was late. The roads were empty, dark stretches of pavement with no other cars in sight. No one to hit, no one to swerve around.

    Just Steve and the yellow lines on the road and the knowledge that Dustin needed help.

    Summary

    "How'd it start for you?" Eddie asks.

    Steve sighs and gestures to the pool with his cigarette. "Right here," he says. Eddie tilts his head, uncomprehending. Such a tiny gesture, yet it makes something in Steve cringe, knowing what it means.

    "Has anybody told you about Barb?" he asks. Eddie shakes his head.

    -

    Steve teaches Eddie how to swim, and confronts a few things about himself in the process.

    Summary

    “Girls are great,” Robin agrees. She squints at Steve. His hands are shaking, jittering the videos, the sound of clacking plastic a soft undertone as she watches him. “But you have not just figured that out. You definitely knew that in high school. I saw you seduce so many girls, Harrington.”

    “I – yeah, okay. Look. It’s stupid. More than stupid! I mean it, Robin, this conversation is not worth having.”

    “Then it is a conversation? Just one you don’t deem to be of any worth,” Robin points out. Steve huffs, radiating frustration, so she carries on, prodding him repeatedly in the shoulder. He is tense beneath her touch. “This would be way easier if you just spelled it out for me, Steve.”

    “I don’t – I – there’s nothing to spell!”

    “I don’t believe you! Why are you suddenly so curious about girls?”

    “I’m not curious about girls!” His voice is abruptly loud enough to startle both of them. The words clang between them and she freezes in place, taken aback, but so does he. She watches him, lost, as he drops his stack of tapes and flushes in the sudden ringing silence, and then suddenly she’s not lost at all.

    Oh,” she breathes.
