Yeah. [ Eddie shrugs, not bothering to deny it. Steve's been a customer in the past, even if it was usually his henchman, Tommy H, that came to buy.] Speaking of, you got any upcoming soirees in need of some party favors?

[ Business has been slow, a Harrington party would probably give him enough cash to last a little while. He raises an eyebrow at Steve's explanation. Still so casual and cool, almost like their friends and not on totally different levels of the Hawkins High social hierarchy. ] Sounds like the Admiral is a hard ass. [ He scrunches his nose up at the mention of Hargrove.] And Hargrove's a dick. Can't blame you there.

[ Eddie takes another spoonful of ice cream, taking his time and stalling at answering Steve's question. He appreciates that it's not framed as an insult, the way it would've been with so many others of his classmates.] That's 'cause I didn't graduate. [ He leans over the counter, getting within inches of Steve's face as he leans into his space.] I'm beginning to suspect Mrs. O'Donnell is in love with me. She couldn't bear to see me go.

[ He grins and winks at Steve, moving back into his own space.] You should've told me being a heart throb has it's downsides.
