    Summary

    He attempts to meld the incoherent thoughts into a statement that he hopes Lucas doesn’t find condescending. “I mean, you’re really young. Being young is about not having to be crushed by responsibilities and shit, you know? I’m not saying you never help out your friends, obviously, but sometimes you just gotta be a kid and let someone older handle some of it.”

    “Steve, I’m technically a sophomore in high school now. That’s how old Nancy and Jonathan were when Will went missing, which means I’m only a year younger than you were when you fought the demogorgon.”

    Oh, Steve feels nauseous.

    Summary

    “He’s dressed like Steve.” Dustin says plainly, monotone in that way he gets when he’s genuinely upset and not just worked up for show.

    “Why?” Mike is asking because he still hasn’t processed the ugly fact of the matter, reasonably so considering how bizarre it is to witness someone be so braindead in public, but Lucas would like an answer that addresses the other type of why. Like, why is Conner Marrigan such a fucking asshole?

    “Clearly, uh, Marrigan wanted to have a costume no one else would think of.” Eddie chimes in. For once he sounds almost nervous, though Lucas has no idea why. “I figured I’d let you know, considering your allegiance to Harrington and also the general fact that it’s a pretty fucked up thing to do.”

    Summary

    Lucas is the man of the group, he knows this. He's got to be the man, like Steve, and wear polos and khakis and come between evil and the weak and be a lady killer and a charming, funny, sweet guy. Like Steve who has started hanging out with Eddie Munson and getting piercings and wearing eyeliner and not being the man Lucas thought he was.

    “Steve is that an earring?” says Dustin, at one of his highest pitches, slap bang in the middle of one of Eddie’s tirades.

    Everyone pauses. Number one, you never interrupt Eddie, especially not during D&D. Number two, what? (Lucas has strong suspicions he can’t let Max ever find out about this, or she’s going to break-up with him and become a full-time Steve admirer.)

    They all lean forwards.

    Steve shifts slightly uncomfortably, but he looks amused. “Yeah.” He shrugs. And there it is, a single tiny silver hoop in his left ear. Lucas stares, amazed.

    “You’re a guy,” says Lucas, without thinking about it.

    Steve only laughs. “I am aware, Lucas, thank you.”

    Summary

    His father reaches for the light switch as he turns to leave, pauses.

    “You know I’d never hurt you, right?”

    There’s bile in Steve’s throat. “Yeah, dad. ‘Course.”
