Summary
Steve Harrington nursed Eddie back to health, kept him warm and well-fed, and quite literally led a quest into Hell to give him his real body back. Which is great. It’s fucking fantastic. Definitely did not make Eddie fall a little bit head-over-heels in love with the guy.
At least, that’s what he kept telling himself at first, because Steve is just a really good guy with a tendency to act like an overbearing mother and it absolutely, undoubtedly, one-thousand-percent did not mean anything.
But then the dust settled, and Steve had still looked Eddie in the eye and asked him to stay.
And then—!
Then Steve had kissed him.
Eddie desperately wants to know what it all means.
Eddie Munson is alive and human again, and it's time to deal with the consequences. Unfortunately, that means figuring out how to defeat Vecna for good, discovering that he hasn't quite managed to get rid of the bat in him, and dealing with whatever the fuck it is that he's feeling for Steve Harrington. None of it is going to be easy.

Summary
Later, he’ll wonder why he even bothers to talk to the bat. It’s not as if it can understand him. But it’s comforting, he thinks, to hear someone assuring you that everything will be okay even when you’re moments away from death. Sometimes, hope is the only difference between holding on and letting go.
And the bat? It holds on.
After the ground opens up and Vecna disappears, the last thing that Steve Harrington needs is an injured bat on his doorstep. Apparently, that won't stop him from doing everything in his power to keep it alive. And if the bat reminds him of a certain someone, then that's just his mind playing tricks on him... right?
