    Summary

    Eddie leans in, can’t help it.

    ‘There’s nothing to fuck up.'

    ‘Don’t do that.'

    ‘Why not?’ Eddie asks, lifting Steve’s chin to make him look, make him see. ‘We’re nothing, right?’

    An array of broken responses flash behind Steve’s eyes, each of them almost enough of what Eddie wants to see, but not quite. ‘You know I love you.’

    Eddie fists his hair. ‘I know what it means to be loved by you, Steve Harrington. I know how deep it cuts.’

    Summary

    ‘OK, walk me through where it went bad?’

    Chrissy is stirring her coffee, waiting for an answer while Robin eats fries, listens intently.

    Steve wants to cry. ‘It was my fault.'

    ‘We’ll be the judge of that,’ Chrissy tells him sagely. ‘Now, c’mon. What happened?’

    ‘I told him last night was a mistake.’

    Robin winces and Chrissy grimaces.

    ‘Oh. Shit, yeah, no, that’s totally your fault.’

    Summary

    ‘Well, I hate to say it but at least discussing how badly you fuck up will give us shit to talk about all summer.’

    ‘Robin, how dare you? I’m gonna fix it.’

    ‘Uh huh.’

    ‘I’m gonna date Eddie Munson.’

    ‘Just make sure he knows that, babe.’

    Summary

    “How long do you have?” he asks, staring intently into Eddie's big, dark eyes. Eddie looks at him for a long while.
    “Got nothin’ but time,” he eventually says, and Steve notes that his voice has a sort of gentle lilt when he speaks softly, something sweet and southern running through it. “Rich in that at least.”
    And so Steve sits down on the ground in the dirt. The air's hot and sticky, and by the time he stops talking, he isn't sure he's ever been that parched, not ever. He talks and talks. He doesn't stop for a long while.
    Eddie Munson listens quietly.

    ---

    The battle at Starcourt might have culminated in the end of the upside down back in '85, but Steve is still plagued by nightmares. Years later, he's the last one left in Hawkins - content to stay there, safe and alone and fading into nothing as the summer heat peaks again.
    A three am rendezvous at Sattler quarry changes that.

    Summary

    “It’s s’posed to be a bowl!” tears roll down his face now.
    He laughs, “you don’t like my hair?”
    “I’m sorry—I didn’t mean it. I really love it. It’s just that you're old and different now, it’s scary,” his hands scrunch into Will’s shirt.
    “Okay. You’re very drunk,” he pushes Mike off of him gently. Mike’s arms clumsily reach out in an attempt to hold him again. “You know you shouldn’t compliment a gay guy like that. He might get the wrong idea.”
    Mike furrows his brows at him. If he was sober, Mike would be able to pick up the sarcasm in his voice, but right now his brain is functioning at an all time low. “Good thing I’m gay then. That’s the idea I want them to have.”

    or
    Will hasn't talked to Mike for two years. He's happily living his life at college in San Diego. Max's dad just so happens to have a beach house in the same place. So she brings them all on vacation.
    Problems arise when Mike drunkly comes out to him. Why should that matter to Will though? He's over Mike.

    Title is a lyric from 'Actor' by Conan Gray
