Steve as everyone’s favorite stray dog. Let me explain.
Eddie is pretty confused whenever he shows up to his new sheepie’s houses and Steve Harrington is there for some reason. He’s caught him napping on the Beyer’s couch, in the Wheeler’s basement, eating at the Sinclair’s dinner table. Hopper drives by in his cruiser and Steve’s in the front seat. He’s sitting on the Mayfield’s steps with Max. He’s driving around band geek Buckley to get groceries. Does this guy ever go home?
So of course Eddie asks. He really didn’t expect Steve’s answer.
“Oh, my dad kicked me out when I was 14,” he says simply. “Changed the locks and everything.”
“What?” Eddie gapes at him. “Why?!”
“Dude, if only I could tell you! Man had a temper.” Steve shrugs, like he’s talking about the weather. “But whatever, I liked it better afterwards.” And he talks about all the families in town that let him stay with them, Christmases with strangers who become friends, a freedom where most people would find uncertainty.
If Eddie tilts his head just right, he can kind of get it. But, the security of a home, of family is something he could never give up.
Anyways that’s how Steve practically moves in with the Munson’s.
