Summary
Eddie cut him off. “No sorries from you.” He put a finger under Steve’s chin and tilted his face up. “You did fucking amazing, Stevie. A perfect sub from the get-go. Like you were born for it.”
Steve’s face heated up with a blush. “I—I did?”
“You did,” Eddie confirmed with a nod. “11/10. Would spank again.”
======
Eddie and Steve encounter each other at a kink club over a decade after high school.

Summary
Steve hasn’t been sleeping. The panic attacks are getting worse, the ringing in his ears won’t stop, and he can’t look in the mirror without seeing what the Russians did to him. So he does something he never thought he’d do—he shows up at Jonathan Byers’ door asking for weed.
What starts as a desperate attempt to quiet his mind for a few hours turns into something else entirely: an honest conversation, a vulnerability he didn’t know he was capable of, and maybe, finally, the understanding that he doesn’t have to carry his trauma alone.
tl;dr: Steve Harrington shows up at Jonathan Byers’ house with a lie about wanting to try weed “for fun.” Jonathan sees right through it.

Summary
“Of course this is happening to me past what I’d consider to be my prime,” Steve said. Nancy scoffed. He frowned. “I’m serious. Nothing like this ever happened to me when I was in high school, or even my early college years. And now? I’m almost out of here—and you’re asking me to hook up with your hot best friend—?”
“You think Jonathan is hot?” Nancy didn’t sound hurt; she just sounded shocked. Steve stammered.

Summary
Steve Harrington has turned out to be a lot like a stray cat―the particular genre of stray cat Lonnie insisted Frog was: The kind that’s not really a stray at all, but looks so cute and sweet and pitiful that you can’t help yourself.
Once Jonathan paid him a little attention, he wouldn’t go the hell away. It was impossible to just ignore him, since he seemed to like being ignored―it must’ve been the thrill of the chase. There was a solid six months where he was almost always on the phone or in Jonathan’s bedroom, flipping his fucking hair around and drawling translate this for me, Byers. What’s our friend Robert Smith saying?
Jonathan has tried throwing rocks at him, metaphorically speaking; he’s been mean and he’s been honest; he’s left the most pessimistic parts of himself in charge.
And somehow, despite it all, Steve is still here.
