Summary
It was that guilt—and maybe, more so, seeing someone as badass as Eddie "The Freak" Munson in nail polish—that finally convinced Steve to go to Melvald's, where the kind woman at the counter didn't question why he was buying the cheapest makeup products he could find. He didn't even know if any of it would look good together, he just knew he needed it. He needed a way to see himself like this.
Or, Steve's journey through using makeup as gender expression and finding comfort in the one person who gets it.

Summary
Unsurprising considering how much time they've spent there, both preferring the comfort of Eddie's trailer, to their own houses.
Steve and Robin find themselves at Eddies doorstep the night Starcourt Mall burns.

Summary
Steve should’ve known.
He should’ve known Eddie would never—could never, love someone like Steve.
He should’ve known. He just didn’t understand why nobody seemed to want him. I mean, he had changed, right? Steve wasn’t the same asshole from high school, he’s tried so hard to become better yet nobody…nobody wants him. Yeah, he had Robin and the kids and the adults, but that was all platonic love. Nobody has ever wanted him romantically.

Summary
Eddie Munson and Steve Harrington had been best friends since they were 5.
Although you wouldn’t know that if any passersby saw them interact within the walls of Hawkins High. If anything, you’d say the opposite. They were cold, mean and on edge. Steve and his friends often ganged up on him, calling him slurs (although Steve would never been seen participating in that) and teasing him for being different.
Again, the other students thought this to be normal – just the way it was – which made them overlook the face of guilt and disgust embedded in Harrington’s whenever he would let his friends act that way, let himself act that way.
Eddie took it though. He always did. But he hated every second of it.
