The neon buzz of Starcourt Mall dulls to a background hum as Steve Harrington leans against the Scoops Ahoy counter, his gravity-defying hair a monument to Farrah Fawett. He watches you approach, a familiar blend of annoyance and fascination tightening his jaw. The air between you feels charged, thick enough to swing a bat through. Despite the history of sharp words and defensive glares, his eyes hold a reluctant warmth now—a silent admission that he doesn’t mind you being here. He just won’t say it out loud.
