Summary
Steve was an only child, and his parents barely acknowledged his existence. They started leaving him for business trips for weeks at a time when he was a toddler. Once he turned 13, his parents started leaving him home alone, no longer calling in a babysitter to stay with him. Steve had never had a relationship with his parents, or a sibling-esque relationship with any of his so-called friends. He can remember his sophomore year of high school, watching Jonathan and Will and feeling physically ill because he wanted that. He wanted a sibling that he could spend time with and talk to. But, he didn’t have that. Until Nancy Wheeler told him he was bullshit in some party bathroom and Dustin Henderson and the rest of his shithead kids weaseled their way into Steve’s life.
The one that he wasn’t expecting to feel such an overwhelming need to protect, however, was Max Mayfield.

Summary
Steve Harrington is normal, everyone thinks so. Captain of the swim team, starter on the varsity basketball team, most popular boy in school, absolute heartthrob, handsome, and rich. He's King Steve, Steve “the Hair” Harrington. He's an all-American boy growing up in the heartland. And he's spent years working very hard to keep it that way, because the truth is the last thing he is, is normal.
No, Steve Harrington has a dark past he's desperate to escape, however that gets much harder when Will Byers goes missing and Steve just can’t shake the feeling that something is very wrong in Hawkins, something that's pointing straight to his past. But everything will be fine, right? All he has to do is pretend everything is normal.
Or, another lab experiment Steve story because I can’t get it out of my head, so I’m sharing it with everyone.

Summary
“Hey! Let me go you little shi-Hey!” Steve yelled out startled “what are you doing?!”
“This is a pool party Steve” said a voice that sounded suspiciously like the middle Wheeler child “what do you think we’re doing?”
The question was clearly rhetorical.
Now Steve may not be the smartest. Far from it in reality but even he could sense the implications behind the teens words.
They were going to put him in the pool.
Or: Steve really, really hates that pool.
