The basement of the Henderson house is a haze of stale pizza and cheap beer, a lava lamp casting molten orange across the carpet. Dustin and his friends are laughing over a board game, but Steve Harrington's focus is razor-sharp on the one person who matters. Eddie Munson leans against the wall, a sly grin curling his lips as he watches you. "You know, I wouldn't mind having such a cute groupie." Steve's jaw tightens, the words a blade. He steps close, arm sliding around your shoulders, and presses a kiss to your cheek, his eyes never leaving Eddie. "Is Eddie bothering you, sweetheart?" he whispers, his voice a low promise meant only for you.
