    Summary

    “Because what, Steve?”

    Oh, he’s dropped the Harrington now, and Steve knows he’s fucked, knows Hopper’s not going to back off.

    “Because I can’t fucking sleep, ok?” Steve whispers, his voice hoarse and broken. “When I do, I dream about…about the fucking Upside Down, about my friends dying, about me being too slow to save them, and I wake up screaming. And I can hardly get to sleep anyway because these,” Steve yanks his three layers up, reveals the marred skin on his sides, “keep me awake.”

    Hopper’s face is stony, unreadable.

    For a moment, Steve feels some sick kind of gratification that he’s managed to render the man speechless. That he’s made somebody care.

    *****

    Until now, nobody's worked out that Steve's essentially homeless, living in his car. But one night, when Steve's cold and alone and in pain, Hopper chances across him.

    Summary

    The doorknob turned with a slight creek, setting everyone’s nerves on fire. Goosebumps riddled their arms, their hair stood at the base of their necks. With a halted breath, Hopper used the tip of his pistol to push the door open, bracing himself for what was inside.

    Silence.

    Dustin’s eyes widened.

    Nancy’s daw dropped.

    Robin blinked a few times too many.

    Max let a small smirk slip, before schooling her expression.

    Summary

    Steve lays on his belly when he’s sleeping. And he drools. And he snores through his mouth. He hugs the pillow under his head. His hair is a fluffy, teased mess around him—bangs nearly sweeping over his eyes. Most of his face is slack with sleep, but his eyebrows flex to match whatever’s going on in his head; furrowing for the nightmares, jumping up with a muffled groan at something good.

    Eddie could watch him for hours.

    Eddie confesses that he loves Steve in the early morning

    Summary

    “We’re making a fort.”

    Steve is barely even halfway through the door when he is accosted with the declaration. His slick raincoat is still zipped up, his wet umbrella still wide open and dripping onto the porch behind him.

    “What?” He asks, fumbling to close the umbrella and shake it out before a stack of blankets are being shoved into his arms.

    “We are making a fort,” Eddie repeats, grinning at Steve. He’s got his own heap of blankets bundled against his chest, and when Steve glances past his shoulder he can see that the bones of said fort are already mostly established — Wayne’s armchair has already been moved from its cozy corner of the room to now sit directly across from the couch, and the coffee table has been pushed to the side so as to not be a nuisance to the building process.

    And, well, it sounds like a lot of fun, actually.

    “Yeah, sure, alright,” Steve replies with a huff of a laugh.
