Summary
Maybe Steve’s always been good at lying, or maybe this is what truth tastes like now. Maybe he does hate his old house, like he hates all his old selves, and maybe that is how he loves Hawkins: a place that tore him, like a bad tooth, out of the life he thought he knew.
Dropped him, free-falling, into a new one.
Good ache. It’s a good ache. You can see for miles if you know where to stand.
[Steve, after everything, doesn’t quite know where to start. And then there’s Nancy.]

Summary
But Steve was shaking by the time they pulled up to the station. Drenched in a cold sweat that plastered his hair to his forehead and his sweater to his shoulder blades.
“Go grab Robin,” he said to Dustin. He was white-knuckling the steering wheel and he was far too pale. “Tell her I might need her to drive.”
Robin didn’t know how to drive, but it was a moot point, because Steve wasn’t getting out of the driver’s seat either. She opened the door and they looked at each other in silence, and then he said, “Get in.”
And he drove them back to his house.

- max and steve are real full-blooded siblings btw.
Summary
“Do you wanna talk about it?” Max asks him. She curls up on the couch next to him and leans over to grab her mug before tucking her feet under her legs and resting her head on his shoulder. He’s too emotionally exhausted to tell her not to wreck a couch with her shoes, but it’s not his couch. They’re not his shoes.
Steve knows she’s not looking at him on purpose. “Nothing to say.”
“She looks like someone died,” Max says. “And you look like you died.”

Summary
“Still… there was a part of it that I kind of liked, you know? The adventure. The… family, the belonging. And that part, that I felt—it just grew larger when he said… he said that I’ve always been right there in that dream, for him. That I was the most important part of it. And I felt…” Nancy chuckles raggedly. “It was crazy, and he should’ve known that I never would have… I wasn't ready to hear it. It was unexpected, it wasn’t me, at least not all of it, and yet, somehow, despite all of that, I felt…
“God, I felt something. I know that now. I felt something for Steve.”
or:
Nancy doesn't run from her feelings this time. Observing from the outside, Jonathan—the person least likely to—ends up making sure of it.

Summary
“It’s nothing that serious. It’s just that Holly—“ Nancy thinks through the best way to say this. She chooses her words carefully. “Holly thinks she can get us back together.”
Steve stares at her blankly. “Us who?”
Nancy stares back, unamused. “Us.” She gestures between them. “Us. You and me.”
