Summary
The real reason Steve never really dates anymore is this: the nightmares and the secrets behind them.
In the middle of the night, reeling from bad dreams, Steve properly starts on the mixtape Eddie made for him. Master of Puppets made Eddie feel invincible once. Maybe Steve can borrow that feeling for one night.

Summary
There’s this guy in Steve’s third period English class who won’t stop staring at him, and at first he thinks that he’s trying to pick a fight.
“That’s just Eddie Munson,” Carol informs him while picking delicately at her own cuticles. “He’s not trying to fight you, Steve. He’s just a creep. The best thing you can do is ignore him.”
Steve doesn’t know about all of that, but he supposes Carol’s right about one thing: Eddie Munson is not trying to fight Steve. He just stares a lot. And he doesn’t even look away when Steve catches him and they lock eyes. He just burrows further into his arms and raises a thin, pierced eyebrow.
It's the end of senior year and Eddie Munson won't stop staring. Robin Buckley does not get paid enough to deal with this shit. Steve Harrington plays board games with middle schoolers. He is also apparently in a long-term relationship with both of his best friends; he does not know this.

Steve wants to go to a place where monsters aren't real and people don't care about him, and he wants to drink and dance and stop thinking for once. Just once.
He lands in a gay bar. And then he keeps landing there.

Summary
An ongoing series where two touch-starved men figure out how to take care of each other in ways that no military field guide ever covered. Thankfully, when you already trust a person with your life, letting them see you at your most vulnerable isn't nearly as hard as it sounds.
Non-sexual intimacy, physical touch, a little angst, and a lot of comfort.
