Summary
Dustin was the first to notice that Steve wasn't who they all thought he was, that there was something more to him than they had thought. However he wasn't the only one to notice. Over the past year after defeating Vecna, each of the kids have all had at least one moment when they have noticed something about Steve Harrington that made them realise something they hadn't considered before. For once in Steve's life, he is finally being really seen, whether he wants to be or not.
A non chronological collection of observations, moments and realisations by the kids. Connected to previous work in series, would recommend reading that first for context, but I don't think it's strictly required to read this.

Summary
He sits on the side of his bed, Dustin on his left, the room quiet and sun filled. He can hear the door in the room over open and close constantly, footsteps on the carpet quietly thudding by but his bedroom door never creaks open, leaving them free of any interruptions in this conversation. He’s wanted to tell Dustin for a while, explain everything and now he has his chance, since the little brat cornered him in his room and demanded to hear the truth, the full truth, sworn on the bible. It’s terrifying, the urge to grab a cigarette to quell the trembling of his hands nearly overwhelming. But he’s left his pack in the kitchen and if he doesn’t have the courage to explain now, will he ever? So Steve sits and he thinks, thinks back to the start and everything that came after.

Summary
Everything's felt a little off since the Fourth of July, and no one's talking about it. Of course, one part of Steve's summer is a bit hard to ignore - he's losing his hearing. As luck would have it, a friend of Dustin's ends up playing a key role in Steve's adjustment to his new normal.
