Summary
In 1998, 72.5 million passengers passed through Chicago O'Hare International Airport.
One of them was Steve Harrington. In fact, a lot of them were Steve Harrington. Every Friday, just like clockwork, he strides off flight 303 from JFK to ORD, in his suit and tie, phone plastered to his ear.
Somewhere else in Chicago, Eddie Munson's life is pretty good. He lives with his best friend. He works nights at a bar he loves. No, it's not what he'd imagined his life was gonna be like at thirty-two, because Steve isn't here, and there was a time he couldn't ever imagine living his life without him.
But he has, and it's fine, everything's fine. Honest.
He's accepted it. Fortunately, the universe, and Gareth, have not.
After a chance sighting in that busy airport, Eddie has the chance to try and reconnect with Steve after nearly a decade apart.

Summary
Out of the line of fire, the tattooed man lifts his hardhat enough to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He smears it with new mud.
Just then, he looks up, catches her eye apropos of nothing. Has the cigarette between two fingers, in and out as he takes a puff.
She frowns, tries to communicate to him that was the dumbest stunt she's ever seen in her life.
Hopper grunts. “You'll learn.” Then, shouting over the railing, “Munson! Snub that goddamn cigarette out. We got company!”
The man in question grins, sends up a two-fingered salute before giving a little bow. Sticks the cigarette back in between his stupid, infuriating smile.
He’s a mess of tattoos, mud, oil, and safety violations—and so damn cocky to boot.
Nancy scoffs.

This is the gayest thing that has ever happened to him and he’s heart-broken because he can’t even communicate with this guy.
‘See you later,’ he signs.
The guy just grins and finally takes his ice cream and he leaves.
Steve fails to get into college, starts working at Scoops Ahoy, and meets a cute guy with doe-eyes and falls head over heels.
