Summary
“Steve,” Wayne echoes. “This is my home. Eddie’s my boy.” And then he ruffles his hair with one large hand, coarse from years of working with them, in an action that reminds Steve of Hopper.
“I’m gonna go down there and get my boy back. You’re gonna be my tour guide.” He holds his hand out for the final gun Steve has stashed, which he gives over reluctantly. He finds Wayne remarkably difficult to argue with—wonders if Eddie found the same. “Tour guides don’t need guns. You point at somethin’, I shoot it. Got it, Steve?”
(Steve knows Eddie’s alive. Wayne’s the only one who believes him. So they team up to save him.) -

Summary
“Steve, that doesn’t make any sense,”
Aggressively dismissing their protests with repetitive hand gestures, Steve stands from the camper-vans built in seats, speaking in the way he usually did when the kids were trying to put themselves in the line of fire. “Yes, it does. Out of everyone here, I’ve suffered the least.”
He allows for a pause, just in case anyone argues. They don’t.
In which Steve is adamantly against using Max as bait for Vecna after everything; going above and beyond to make sure she never has to live through that ever again.
Even if that means taking her place.
(He doesn’t anticipate Jason Carver finding them there.)
((Or the discoveries that come when a demon is rifling through your head for the worst times of your life. Ones you may not even remember.))

Summary
Three shots ring out.
Steve hears them before he feels them; a warm, wet pain burning in his torso, intolerably excruciating.
There’s a bundle of squawks and screams, outbursts of panic and anger, and it’s only when Hopper falls forwards to take Steve up into a slightly rough, protective hold, does he realize that two of those shots have lodged themselves in his own flesh and bone. (Realizes that he’d moved, instinctively, to shield El, despite never having spoken to her, who’d the gun had been so precisely pointed at, aimed for.)
Steve Harrington watches his own blood pool and trickle over a series of hands pressed against him, small and large, soft and rugged, and for a moment, wants to stay like this. He can’t.

Summary
‘Please?’
Eddie stops him again, this time by holding his face. Steve feels Eddie’s thumb moving over his cheek, he feels the cool metal of his rings. He feels everything except what he needs.
‘I’ve never loved anything the way I love you, Steve Harrington,’ Eddie says, dark brown eyes moving between Steve’s own. ‘This isn’t the moment, sweetheart.’
It’s not a rejection, but it’s not a kiss. Steve quietly cries, insides cut up on the broken shards of his stupid little heart and Eddie holds him, he holds him all night until they fall asleep together.
