[ Steve is surprised that Eddie even knows where he lives, though he supposes in his reign as King Steve he'd thrown enough parties needing Eddie's favors. He's never seen Eddie look the way he does now, which is completely terrified. He can barely speak and Steve wonders with a sinking feeling in his stomach if he's just found out what lies beneath Hawkins. ]
Chrissy? Cunningham? [ That's the only Chrissy he can think of, off the top of his head. Though, as far he knows she and Eddie usually don't hang out. Then again, most people don't know that he and Eddie hang out either. His eyes narrow as Eddie goes on. He only knows of one cause of possession in Hawkins. But those victims hadn't levitated.
Steve swallows thickly, fighting down the rising bile in his throat at the thought that the mindflayer might be back. His first instinct is to tell Hopper, Joyce, El. But they're all gone now. It's just him and Nancy left. He feels like someone's punched him in the stomach and all the air leaves his lungs at once as he breathes out, ] Fuck.
[ He looks back at Eddie, tears in his eyes and jumpy at the smallest sound and pulls him inside, closing the door behind them. His voice is low and urgent, sounding much older than his age. ] Eddie, I believe you. I really do. [ He wants to tell him it's going to be okay, but he's not going to lie to him. Eddie isn't Dustin or one of the kids, he'll see right through his bullshit. ]
[ Steve lets go of him to rub vigorously at his eyes, his mind racing. ] Shit, shit, shit. [ He stops in his pacing back and forth to narrow in on Eddie. ] You're sure she's dead?
