    Summary

    It was wild. Steve Harrington was dancing with Eddie Munson, at a house party. In front of practically everyone in Hawkins.

    And Eddie was a terrible dancer. He could head-bang and hop around with a guitar but when it came to dancing, he had two left shoes and neither of them were laced up. At least he had enough alcohol and pot in his system he could fall back on as an excuse if anyone asked, but for the most part, he just let Steve take the lead…

    …Eddie had no idea what a crush was even supposed to feel like, and becoming mildly infatuated with a person was the only thing he had to go off of, unless he counted those romance novels he liked to read in secret, that described it in deep, poetic analogies…like butterflies and shit like that.

    “Butterflies in his stomach.” The hell did that even mean?

    Summary

    "Can I help you?" Eddie hollers. No matter how good looking this guy is, Eddie doesn't have time for anything else. He can't add anything to his plate. He's got maybe an hour before he'll be unfit to be around the public.

    Not that Eddie's ever really fit to be around the public. But that's how he likes it. Eddie would prefer it if he never had to actually interact with the customers at all.

    This dude included. Maybe especially this dude, because he looks like another alpha. A preppy motherfucker. That's just asking for trouble today. And Eddie? Eddie's been in enough trouble to last a lifetime. He's on the straight and narrow now.

    Summary

    “What… is wrong with us?” Eddie choked out. His hand tightened painfully around Steve’s, yet he winced.
    “I don’t know. I think- I feel… you,” Steve sputtered. It was all too intense, the pain, the haze in his mind. Emotions were layering and his own panic was compounding and echoing back with… Eddie’s?

    Summary

    Mike had scoffed, again, and Steve tried not to be insulted when he’d said, “Steve? Why Steve?”

    “Because Steve’s had more Valentine’s than any of us combined!” Dustin had said.

    “Yeah, because he’s a serial monogamist —”

    “Shut the fuck up,” Steve had said. “Also, who taught you those words?”

    Eddie had teetered his hand back and forth in the air. “Personally, I think there’s a certain stolen RV confession negates that, but —”

    “You shut the fuck up right now even faster —”

    In which Mike and Eddie have a bet, Steve is the victim of circumstance, and he's not super mad about it.
