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.- Language:

Summary
“How’d you know?”
They’re sitting by the pool, soaking in the early summer sun and passing the new strain Steve got back and forth. It’s just the two of them, and he feels relaxed and floaty and not thinking about the hundred different things that could be rearing up to attack Hawkins when they least expect it. It was shaping up to be a good day, which of course meant it couldn’t last.
He pauses, joint halfway to his mouth. “What do you mean?”
“Don’t give me that, we all had an awakening. Nothing to be ashamed of. What was yours?”
Steve grimaces, and Eddie frowns at him. “Hey, man, you don’t have to tell me if-”
“It’s kind of embarrassing,” he blurts out.

Summary
He actually wants to watch the Fellowship of the Ring, has actually been waiting for this for uhhhh, what, like, twenty years of his life? Problem is, there’s another thing he’s been waiting for for almost as long, and it’s sitting right next to Eddie, making little soft impressed noises at Gandalf’s fireworks, flashing quick smiles his way when he offers him the tub of greasy popcorn.
He's not going to be able to remember any of the movie, he’ll just remember this: the white-hot screaming bliss of sitting next to the love of his fucking life, and not knowing if it’s cool to try and hold his hand or not.

Summary
So, when he walks into his apartment, after dropping his keys three times while trying to unlock it, and the first thing he hears is a literal hissy fit coming from his bathroom, Steve's immediately turning right back around and shutting the door. He desperately wants to curl into a ball and cry in the middle of the hallway, but he has nosy neighbors and it won’t actually fix anything. He needed to end this, and he needed to end it now.
Or
One of the neighborhood cats emotionally tortures Steve for months until he finally gets the balls to do something about it.
