Summary
“...Dustin was being very mean,” El says cautiously. Her eyebrows are knit together in that way that always makes Max want to hold her and tell her it’ll be okay.
“He’s been weird, since… everything.”
Lucas thinks that he’ll calm down once Eddie is back on his feet. Max thinks that he’s being a selfish little drama queen, but she doesn’t really have a leg to stand on when it comes to self-pitying bullshit, so she’s been biting her tongue.
“That doesn’t mean it’s okay to… talk to Steve like that. Like he’s stupid.”
“Well…” Max tries to joke, and El glares. “Sorry.”
“You were not helping.”
Max puts down her hairbrush. She’s… maybe also been weird. Since everything.

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.

Summary
Hop said it’s a bad habit he’s gotten himself into, these night drives. Patrolling the town when everyone’s asleep, nobody to ask the question of why Steve Harrington drives circles through Hawkins past midnight every night.
It’s nearing one a.m. and Steve sighs, because—shit. There's a van on the side of the road that wasn't there on his last lap.
He can’t drive off now. He’s already stopped. Already committed, so Steve swings his keys around his finger and sighs again. Opens the car door.
He comes to a stop a few paces away from the van. Raises his voice slightly when he says, “Hello?”
“Fucking—what, hello? What?” comes a voice from the other side of the van. “Who—jesus, if I’m about to get murdered, I swear to—wait. Harrington? Steve Harrington?”
—
Or; Steve patrols the streets of Hawkins every night, looking for monsters. One night, he finds Eddie.
