    Summary

    Gareth was hallucinating.

    That was the only explanation that made sense. He wasn’t sure he’d ever gone this long without sleeping, so it made sense that his brain had gone a little wonky.

    Steve Harrington had just burst into Eddie’s hospital room, reached under the couch by the window, pulled out a bat full of nails, and dashed back out into the hallway.

    or

    That nightmare of a town hall encouraged people other than Jason to hunt Eddie down. Steve says no, with prejudice.

    Summary

    “Why didn’t either of you tell us you were dating?”

    He looks so hurt and indignant in the way only Dustin can, and maybe it’s not too late to run out after Steve and make their case for the beers again if it means the kid’ll stop frowning and looking at Eddie like that. It takes a minute for his words to sink in.

    Eddie blinks. “What.”

    “What do you mean, what? You kissed!”

    “No, we didn’t,” Eddie scoffs.

    Except, yes, they did. Realization crashes over him, the force of it stunning him into silence.

    Steve kissed him. On the lips. Like it was nothing, like it was something they did every day.

    And Eddie hadn’t even blinked or shoved him away or registered it at all, just returned the kiss and went right back to bossing Steve around, as if the whole fucking thing was the most natural thing in the world.

    Fuck.

    Summary

    “This is a straightening iron. It can make your hair look more like mine, but only for a little bit. A couple hours to a couple days, depending on how you treat your hair before and after. It’s very hot. Don’t touch it.”

    Jane nods very seriously. She’s touched a lot of hot things, on purpose and on accident, in the past few months. The straightening iron is lying on the counter, angled so that the hot bits are hanging over the sink. Steve’s hands rest on her shoulders as he stands behind her. He is making eye contact with her in the mirror. She looks a lot shorter than him because she’s sitting on a stool that he dragged in from the kitchen.

    Summary

    Will looks at Steve. “... Do you mind if I look at your records?”

    Steve grins at him. “Sure, I’ll bring some boxes down. You mind keeping an eye on them while I’m upstairs?”

    Will smiles and nods. “Yeah. That’s perfect. Thank you.”

    Steve leaves with a fist bump. While he’s upstairs figuring out which boxes he wants to carry down, he sees some t-shirts crumpled up and sticking out his dresser drawer, which is so full it’s not even properly closed. One that he can see poking out is something he stole from the high school last year, and even though it’s a PE shirt that’s been rented out a hundred times it’s probably his favorite shirt to sleep in. Something about old, worn-in clothes always felt so much better than the new ones.

    Summary

    Ok, so he's no Will Byers, but Steve thinks he can pretty definitively say at this point that he's got shit luck. Sure, he was born with a silver spoon and whatever, and he was loved by the smartest, strongest, bravest girl in the world (however briefly), and he's got a gaggle of preteens who look at him like he's Clark Kent and sometimes act like he's transformed into Superman, but still. Shit luck.

    It happens on a Wednesday. His third day back at school since Billy kicked his shit in so badly that Chief Hopper was willing to leave his adopted super-child at the Byers' for three hours to drive him to the ER.
