Summary
Steve sighs, like he’s trying to laugh but he can’t quite manage it. “I’m sorry, man,” he says too lightly, “gonna need you to drive for a bit. I know it’s not part of the plan, but hey.” He gets out a laugh now, but all it does is set Eddie’s teeth on edge. “Henderson said you’re good at—what’s it called, in your game? Improv?”
And Eddie hates it, hates how soft Steve’s voice is, hates how the conversation is so clearly a distraction, a last ditch attempt at protection from… he doesn’t know. He doesn’t want to know.

Summary
Everyone hears the rumors. Billy Hargrove and Steve Harrington are caught by Old Man Hargrove doing—something. The gossip mill can’t decide on what exactly, but everyone agrees: something gay went down.
A week later, the rundown trailer next door to Eddie is full.
At first, Eddie gets it. Hargrove and Harrington are both assholes, so of course they’re together. Sure, the fact that they’re gay is a bit of a shock but the fact that two dickhead jocks would choose to be together—makes perfect sense. But after weeks and then months of sharing cigarettes with Harrington whenever he needs to escape the screaming fights waiting for him inside, things shift in his head. Eddie doesn’t get it anymore.

Summary
“What do you need, Steve?” Eddie says again. It’s firm and soft at the same time.
It’s the first time he’s pushed, first time he’s insisted. First time he’s kept pulling when it’s clear Steve doesn’t want to talk.
“Can’t say,” Steve replies, too honest even though he hasn’t given anything away. “Eddie, seriously. I can’t.”
The rain pours, heavy and unforgiving, as Eddie considers this non-answer.
“Say it anyway?” Eddie pleads.
Steve shakes his head.
How can he ask Eddie to love him?
To hold him and tell him that he’s everything he’s ever wanted, even if he doesn’t fucking mean it?
That’s the worst part: Eddie doesn’t even have to mean it, not tonight.
Steve would take a convincing performance—needs one. Thinks that’s all he’s ever experienced anyway.
Steve wonders if he could ask without having to ask.
He takes a step closer, slowly reaches out.

Summary
After the new year and the months since then, since his hair had grown back enough to hide the scar and he started letting them come to his house, she watched Steve carefully, learned what to look for.
She noticed the headaches and the migraines—the way he'd squint and clench his jaw and move a little more carefully, like sudden movements hurt. She noticed how it took him longer to answer questions sometimes. She noticed how he'd forget words mid-sentence and have to pause, frustrated, until he couldn’t even remember what he'd been trying to say.
Everyone called him slow. And stupid. They joked about it, teased him about getting dumber, and Steve always laughed it off or agreed with them, like it was a choice and not a consequence.
But Max could tell it bothered him; could see it in the way his smile would tighten, just for a second, before he'd shrug and change the subject.
And it bothered her too.
So she started running interference.
