Summary
Eddie almost dies a virgin, which is mortifying. He’s rescued from certain death by Steve Harrington, which is infinitely worse. King Steve, who is not actually a douche, who is stalwart and brave and a whole lot hairier than he was last summer, carries Eddie’s ravaged body out of the Upside Down despite his own injuries. Eddie, clinging to consciousness by the edge of his fingernails, doesn’t even get to enjoy it.
It’s the summer of 1986. Eddie has some new scars, some new friends, and the same old embarrassing crush on Steve Harrington. When Steve gets curious about gay sex, who in all of Hawkins is better equipped to teach him?
Someone who's not a secret virgin, maybe. Hindsight's 20-20.

Summary
She wanted to ask what exactly she’d done wrong. She wanted to ask why Eddie hadn’t just tried to get a new roommate by now.
Was she doing okay? Was school as ridiculously hard for her as it was for Stevie?

Summary
Eddie spins on his heel in the middle of the room, slowly taking in the space before he fixes Steve with an awkward, closed-mouth smile. Steve feels himself return it. Ringed fingers curl and straighten compulsively by Eddie's side as he tilts his head.
“And we’re sure there are no other rooms?”
Steve feels the smile slide off his face.
OR
In the aftermath of their final battle against Vecna, Hawkins is put under quarantine. Steve and Eddie bunk up.

Summary
“Robin,” Steve says. “I think I might be homophobic.”
Robin- who had just been in the process of shrugging on her Family Video vest- pauses. She blinks at Steve as though he’d just grown another head.
“Uhm,” she says. “I don’t know what you expect me to do with that information.”

“So,” he says. “I’m not homophobic.”
They’re hanging out in the diner bathroom. Well, by “hanging out”, Steve means “locked in together because Steve promised to buy The Party milkshakes if they could get Eddie to be alone with him again”. But. Whatever works.
“That’s… nice,” Eddie says slowly. “I didn’t realize that had been on the table.”
