Summary
“Steve?”
“Yeah?” Steve stopped in his tracks, turning to face the older man.
Jim paused, taking him in.
The pale skin and bags under his eyes supported what he had been saying about not sleeping well. The poor boy looked like he hadn't had a full night's rest in months. Not only that but he was looking thinner - obviously he was not taking care of himself properly. It was concerning and Jim couldn't help but be grateful that a random passerby had called the police about a suspicious figure sitting on the edge of the quarry that evening. Who knew how long it would have taken them to figure out what was happening otherwise?

Summary
At some point, Eddie’s hand had made its way to Steve’s bad knee, massaging it gently in soothing circles. It was like magic, the way the deep ached subsided just enough for Steve’s posture to slump. He felt like putty under Eddie’s fingertips. Tension melted away from him as Eddie continued his work over his kneecap to the beginning of his thigh. He couldn’t help but close his eyes and let out a contented sigh.
“Do you want me to stop?” Eddie asked quietly.
“Huh?”
“Steve,” Eddie whispered. “Do you want me to stop?”

Summary
It starts as a joke.
The kids, they’re little shits, who make fun of him on the daily but he loves enough to take them to school and help with their homework. Drives them places when it's raining or cold or they can’t be bothered to bike and packs them lunches when he knows their parents have forgotten. Let’s them sleep in his house when those same parents are out of town, or when Joyce is at work and they can’t all sleep there, and the Wheelers are sick of all the kids spending days and days and days in the basement and like he said it started as a joke.
A comment here and there about him being a babysitter, how far he’s fallen from King Steve to become an unpaid childminder, a joke that isn’t quite a joke after the tenth time. Then when he really falls into the roll, somewhere between the first experience of the upside down and the third, when not knowing when they are, if they’re okay, made his chest tight and his breath shorten until he can get ahold of at least three of them.
Somewhere between there being just four of them to Eleven coming back and Max joining the group they start calling him mom.

Summary
Nancy inhaled slowly as she took a meaningful step towards him. Steve's eyes flickered back over to her instinctively, and he got a firsthand view of how her face had crumpled, eyes wide and shining and worried. "Steve," Nancy said, slow, gentle, quiet, like she was trying to calm a cornered wild animal. "None of us said those things."
Steve's mouth opened, words piling on the tip of his tongue: what, so I was just hallucinating, then? he wanted to ask, nearly did ask, and then he realized—heart stopping in his chest and the floor very suddenly feeling like it had been ripped out beneath him—that was exactly what was happening.
Steve's jaw shut with a click.
"Oh," Steve breathed shakily. Oh, fuck.
Vecna curses Steve. As you could imagine, it isn't a very good time.

Summary
Despite how it seems, the storm chasing community is actually pretty small. So, when someone new shows up, it's worth taking note.
At least, Steve Harrington thinks so.
Sometimes it's a newly trained expert. Someone fresh out of school that's spent years studying meteorology before finally getting out into the field for some hands-on experience. Other times, it's some video live streamer, looking for a bunch of views and an influx of cash in trade for being a little too reckless.
Of course, Steve's just the wheel man, so what the fuck does he know? That's what Henderson would say, anyway. Steve's supposed to drive, not get them killed, and follow the little dickhead's directions. That's it.
