Summary
Mike doesn't know when he started caring why Steve and Eddie are friends now, but Dustin has made him curious. Eddie and Steve were enemies before, sort of. So why are they now best friends? They've just got to do a bit of surveillance to work this puzzle out. If Mike accidentally finds out he has feelings for his best friend along the way then... well, shit.
“At least I’m not using binoculars.” Mike shoots a derisive look over at Dustin. “Like we’re not in the middle of the high street, if they spot us how are you going to explain away those, huh?”
“Bird watching,” says Dustin. “My new hobby.”
Lucas punches him on the arm. “God you’re so fucking stupid.”
“You gave them to me!”

Summary
Steve has nightmares about Lover's Lake, he knows he's falling off the edge. When everyone finds out, he knows he's done for.
He’s alone by the pool, sun drenched.
Everything is silent, except the buzzing of flies, Steve doesn’t know where that’s coming from, and the tick of the record player skipping even though he shouldn’t be able to hear that from here. Then both of those noises stop and he realises he didn’t know what silence was before that, how much the low background sound was filling up.

Summary
Eddie hasn't spoken to Gareth and the others since whatever went down with Chrissy Cunningham, now Gareth sees him playing basketball with Steve Harrington and a bunch of kids, what the fuck is going on?
Sinclair sighs longingly.
“Okay, man, I can get behind you on the sweet and salty,” says Gareth, “but New Coke?”
“He was crazy for it,” says Harrington, grinning all fond at the back of Sinclair’s head like he’s retelling the story of his toddler’s foray into the world of art and talking Gareth through all the monstrosities in pride of place on the fridge. “Weird kid.”
Eddie is smiling at the side of Harrington’s face and Jesus Christ, Gareth never wants to meet another gay man in his whole life if their taste is Steve fucking Harrington.

Summary
Mike has a pretty shit Christmas with his family. Luckily Steve's ready to host another Christmas party at his house and Mike gets the Christmas he was hoping for.
The downstairs low murmur of general Christmas themed arguing gets louder. “Mike! Mike! Come down here and peel these potatoes or I will lynch you.”
He groans. “Jesus. Nancy wants me to peel potatoes.”
“Go and help your sister,” says Steve, materialising seemingly out of thin air and crackling over the radio with a severity he seems to bring out specifically to give Mike orders.
“Michael!”
“Aw, Jesus now my mom’s calling me.”
“Ha,” says Max.
“Loser,” says Dustin.

Summary
Steve Harrington is secretly a nerd. He's also, in Eddie's opinion, a massive dick. (Or: five times nobody but Eddie believes that Steve is a giant nerd, and one time he tells everyone else.)
“Oh, you’re kidding, I love that book,” says Steve Harrington.
Eddie wonders, for about half a second, if he’s somehow fallen into a different dimension. He stares down at the battered copy of 'The Silmarillion' just in case he’s accidentally been reading like… whatever jocks read, a basketball like — handbook, or whatever. He isn’t. It’s still 'The Silmarillion'. Eddie looks up at Steve Harrington, who is standing at the bottom of the stairs Eddie is sitting on, sunlight in his hair, sneakers shifting awkwardly on the tarmac of the school yard. “Uh-huh,” Eddie says, sort of dumbly.
