   Summary

   Steve’s life hasn’t been this good in years: the Upside Down is gone; he has Eddie and Robin and the kids; his parents fucked off and left the house in his name. So why is he such a mess lately?

   ---

   Eddie’s voice is small when he asks, “Can you at least tell me why?”
   “You want a boyfriend,” Steve finally says. His lips are numb. “I don’t know that I can be that.”
