    Summary

    Jee thrusts the card out towards Eddie. “For you,” she says, cheeks dimpling as her smile turns shy.

    It reminds Eddie so much of Christopher, when he was this age. So sweet, so earnest. His heart squeezes in his chest as he accepts Jee’s card.

    And— it is just about the cutest fucking thing Eddie’s ever seen, honestly.

    The card, clearly handmade, is shaped like a bumblebee. A yellow teardrop body, striped with crooked lines of black marker. Its head is shaped like a heart, with two pipe cleaner antennae sticking out, and this teeny tiny u-shaped smile and a pair of googly eyes glued to make up its face. The kicker, though, are the wings — two big, slightly misshapen pink hearts (clearly cut out by Jee-Yun herself) protruding from either side, each with a little message scribbled out in Jee’s loopy handwriting. The one on the left reads “BEE mine” and a grin breaks out across Eddie’s face, an amused chuckle slipping past his lips. The one on the right, though — it brings an embarrassing lump to Eddie’s throat as he reads, “Happy Valentine’s Day Uncle Eddie!”

    Uncle Eddie.

    Oh.

    Summary

    “Eight thousand dollars,” Christopher squawks, eyes nearly bugging out of his head as he whips his neck to look at Buck. “Someone paid eight thousand dollars to take you out on a date?!”

    “I was a catch,” Buck defends himself. “I did a backflip!”

    Eight thousand dollars!” Christopher yells, banging on the table. “To go on a date! With you!

    “I’ll have you know, we went to a very expensive restaurant. And we talked. A lot. She was very interested in what firefighters do!”

    “I mean, Dad takes you to restaurants, and he doesn’t go flashing eight thousand dollars,” Christopher rambles. “We’d go bankrupt in a week!

    Eddie freezes.

    “Oh,” Buck says, reddening. “Not—Not like that, Chris. That, um—That was a date,” he stutters.

    “Semantics,” Christopher waves him off, eyes wild. “It can’t have been that different, can it? You eat, you talk, you flirt, blah blah blah. How’s paying ten grand justify that?”

    —or, a 9x11 (crack) coda.

    Summary

    “Dude,” Dustin says, sounding kind of horrified but also kind of delirious with elation. “Oh my God, you like him. You like Will. Will. As in, our Will. Our best friend Will.”

    “I do not–” Mike tries, even though he’d kind of just admitted to accidentally kissing Will Byers, a little, so maybe that’s an entirely fruitless road to go down.

    Listen. No one should ever let Mike make decisions right after he wakes up from a nap, okay? Especially not decisions where Will is concerned. This is so not his fault.

    Summary

    Will blinks. Mike is looking at him with an amused look on his face, wide-eyed and a little pink across the bridge of his nose, and God, okay, Will wants to–

    “Um,” he says instead. “Huddling? For warmth?”

    “For warmth,” Lucas echoes, and then looks back at Dustin again. “Huddling. For warmth.”

    “Like penguins,” Mike offers, and then rests his head on Will’s shoulder like this is supposed to be helping, or something.

    Will Byers and the harrowing experience of being snowed in with your mom, your almost-stepdad, all of your friends, and your (kind of) (secret) boyfriend.
