Summary
His hand shakes as he tries to light the spliff Byers’ friend had palmed him with a pat on the back and a hazy smile, muttering something near indecipherable about purple palm tree delight. Steve reaches up, either to pluck the lighter from his grip or to hold Eddie’s hand steady in his, but the light catches before he has the chance to, and Eddie elbows him away instead, feeling vaguely sick to his stomach.
He inhales once, and again, and tries not to think about it.

Summary
It starts like this: Steve, waiting in his car to pick up Dustin and friends from a session of their Chutes and Ladders club or whatever. Waiting kind of impatiently, to be honest, even though it’s not like he has anywhere else to be because Robin’s busy tonight and, as he well knows by this point, saving the world doesn’t get you a girlfriend or glory or even a second age-appropriate friend, it just gets you another evening shift at Family Video and a long personal to-do list.
In the spring and summer of 1986, Steve Harrington contends with the biases of the day, hatches several plans, and finally really gets to know Eddie Munson.

Something in Eddie’s chest goes, oh.

Summary
“Nothing wrong with a bit of romance,” Eddie said, and for a moment his eyes darted toward Steve, and they were—
Twinkling. Mirthful and light past their initial darkness, like liquid ink, or the stars in a clear night sky, and…
Steve swallowed past the sudden lump in his throat. He felt dizzy, all of a sudden.
:: Or, when Steve realizes Eddie likes him, he maybe, kind of, sort of spirals a little bit. It works out, though.
