Summary
Eddie picks up the sweater, cradling it in his hands. It’s soft, and Eddie already knows it smells like Steve, but he brings it to his face and inhales anyway. Fuck, it smells good. Steve smells good. A wave of heat washes through Eddie, and he flops back again, face still covered by the sweater. What is he doing?
Steve leaves his sweater behind after he and Eddie hang out, and Eddie has feelings about it.

Summary
“He knows, in the distant sort of way, that this is what it should feel like. That this is what comes to others with shocking ease, the kind of thing that unfurls within him once a decade.
He doesn’t want to examine it too closely. Because then it’s real. Then it’s more than just a crush. Then there’s something to be let down on when Steve finds someone who makes him feel all the things Eddie feels for him.”
OR-
Eddie thinks Steve could never like him back. Steve proves him wrong.

Summary
Steve was settling in for another cold winter, everyone was out of Hawkins visiting family for the holidays. He laid in bed watching the snow fall softly out his window clutching the denim vest. A single red bulb, glowing brighter than the rest, and then. On. Off. On. Off. On. Off. SOS. The Christmas lights wanted to bring another lost boy home.

Summary
“Don’t crack on me now, Munson,” Steve says.
“Aww,” Eddie replies, trying to make his tone its usual cloying flirtation, “didn’t think you cared, your highness.”
He twists his mouth up at the side. It doesn’t quite land on a smirk—he can feel the way it wobbles. If Harrington notices, he doesn’t call him on it.
With a roll of his eyes, Harrington responds, “like you said, no people means no help, means you’re all I’ve got.”
Or: Steve & Eddie get pulled into the Upside-Down and become reluctant allies. For survival.

Steve's been lost, not sure what he's looking for in a relationship. Maybe it's time to figure out what he does want and stop dating girls that would have impressed his friends back in high school.
