    Summary

    He doesn’t scream.

    You kind of hate him for it.

    It’s the age-old fall from grace: high school royalty faceplants into reality, and the Burger King crown starts hanging heavy. (Sailor hat, in his case.) Heir to the Hawkins High hierarchy, ruler of keggers and hallways alike, Steve Harrington used to be untouchable. Now? He's shaking under your hands, bleeding from battles no trophy could ever commemorate. You've stitched together plenty of broken people before—but never one that left a scar in you, too.
