Summary
In the City of Hawkins lies a small cafe on the corner of 4th street that Steve Harrington owns with his best friend.
Far from the broken life he once knew, Steve has become compliant in a comfortable but lonely life. He's happy to work every day in the city he's grown to love, with nothing more than a pillow to greet him at home.
Steve should have known, though, that trouble follows him wherever he goes. And with a new face in town, Steve will have to reevaluate everything he knows, including his view on love.

Steve glanced at Eddie, who was now reading his cup in amusement. As he saw Steve’s curious glance, he turned the coffee around, putting Steve’s handwriting into view.
Steve almost died on the spot. Right there, in Steve’s loopy handwriting, was the word ‘trouble.’
Eddie laughed, raising an eyebrow. "Guess I’ll make sure to bring trouble back around.”
Steve knew at that moment he had stirred up more than sugar in Eddie’s cup. -

Summary
Steve always forgot how Eddie knew him. “Feels unfulfilled sometimes. Like I have parts missing. I’m happy, sure, but not satisfied.”
They stared at each other for a long while; the silence became a more present voice than theirs.
Eddie broke it first, saying, “I hope you will be one day.”
Steve was already feeling a bit closer to it with Eddie in the room.

Summary
"All you do is try to trick me, Angel. And you never succeed. What is it you gain from this?" Eddie gripped Steve's chin, pulling their faces closer together.
"C'mon now, Eddie. I know you love it. Love the game we have going on." Steve spit the blood pooling in his mouth to the side of them. "You wouldn't find me interesting if you didn't love it. You wouldn't keep me around."
Something dark sparked in Eddie's eyes; his grip tightened, but not enough to hurt Steve. Eddie never hurt Steve. "I don't want to see you hurt, Angel. I think you're not getting the real reason I keep you around."

Summary
Jim is starting to put it together. The waiting all day to eat. The bruise on his jaw. The lack of money for food. God, the kid probably walked six miles to get here.
Jim isn't stupid, he can connect the dots. But Jim also knows when not to push things. When not to rock the boat. When sometimes, even if it pains him, helping someone can be a lost cause.
