[There once was a time anyone would jump at the opportunity for Steve to even acknowledge them as a person that alone call them a friend. It still baffles him how that all turned with a snap of fingers. Now it seemed like he was just a nobody, a washed up pretty boy who once had it all. Plenty of times thw thought crossed Steve's mind that this was all his punishment. Karma for being a total dick and shit person. For all those times he hurt Nancy and wouldn't accept her guilt for the death of Barbara. For the cruel things he said about the Byers.
Things had just been shit for him since '83.
He turns his head to gaze at the boy best known as "the freak." Steve had never given Eddie much attention and not once did it ever cross his mind that Eddie was alone too. Eddie's words hit like a punch to the gut and Steve turns his head quickly away in shame.]
Maybe I could use a friend, too.
[Fuck this goddamn weed for prying him open and ripping down the walls he's built around himself in order to block out this whole fucking world. Christ, why did those words sting so much? Steve's never really cared about anyone else's feelings before but Eddie’s reply leaves his stomach in tight knots.
Thankfully he hasn't noticed those glassy eyes or he would feel like the biggest douche in all of Hawkins. ]
Incase you didn't hear or missed the memo I'm a real shit person, Munson. Shitty friend is on the list.
