Summary
The phone rang.
Steve shot up, walking toward it, his nerves lit up in memory-old anticipation and dread.
***
Steve Harrington has tried to push the past down, away, to lock it up.
But he knows better than anyone that you can't keep anything hidden in the dark for long, and skeletons never remain buried.
When a kid in town goes missing, it awakens his old ghosts, and Steve finds himself trying to balance his past and present selves as he joins in on the search effort.

Summary
“Have you ever wanted to be invisible?” Steve asked, looking out at the sheer cliffs on the other side of the quarry. It was a thought he’d held onto for a while, letting it form mostly in the early hours of the morning when he was alone in the dark.
“You mean like a superhero and shit?” Eddie asked, blowing out smoke and taking another drag from his cigarette.

Summary
There’s a few things Eddie notices when he wakes up.
One, he bites his tongue. It hurts. Of course. The weird thing, though, is he doesn’t taste blood. But he knows he bit it hard and it’s throbbing behind his teeth. He tastes something, and his mouth feels wet but there’s no metallic flavor (metal. He likes metal. He’s remembering). It’s smoother. More earthy.
Two. He’s alone. Completely. No Dustin. Or Robin or Nancy or Steve or anyone.
Three. He’s sore. His whole body aches, his skin is thrumming with it. His neck especially, and his sides like where Steve was bitten, too.
Four. He’s got to blink a couple times to realize this one. Let his eyes adjust from the pitch black of being closed to the dim blue haze of the Upside Down. Yeah, that’s what he realizes. He’s still there.
Five. He’s fuckin’ starving.
In which Eddie wakes up with sharp teeth, Steve has a thing for tongue piercings, and it takes a while for them to figure out what all of that means.

Summary
"I knew I liked girls," Robin says, "because I wanted to kiss girls.”
“Yeah. But how did you know it was more than the normal amount?”
“…the normal amount,” she repeats.
“Well, sure.” Steve scrubs a hand through his hair. “Everyone wants to kiss everyone a little bit, right? Like. How did you know it was more than the normal heterosexual amount?”
Robin cannot believe she’s going to have to say this out loud. She glances around the empty store just to make sure no one has somehow teleported in during the last two minutes.
“Steve. Steven. There is no normal heterosexual amount of wanting to kiss people of the same gender.”
He crosses his arms. “Well, that can’t be right.”

Summary
Because here's the thing: Eddie Munson has always been weird. Since Steve first saw him his freshman year, weird. But Steve Harrington has always liked him.
Eddie was older, and cooler, and everything Steve wasn't. For the longest time Steve just called it jealousy, called it anger. He called it anything other than what it actually was: a crush.
