It had been a few days, and Steve was on the verge of a breakdown every time he stepped out onto the battle field.
Is this it?
He thought.
Will this be the last time I fight beside them?
Every day as he looked at the group of people with him, Nancy, Jonathan, Hopper, Joyce, Dustin, Lucas, Robin, Will, Mike, Eleven, and the newly revived vampire, Eddie, he couldn't help but think about what could happen to everyone.
He knew that if something did happen to someone he loved, he'd be responsible. That feeling never went away, no matter what he did, who he talked to, he felt guilty for still being alive.
But yet..There was always one person who seemed to light up his world.
"Come on! You can do this Harrington!"
Eddie...
Eddie always seemed to make Steve's life a little better. Him just being there flustered him, and Eddie was one of few people who could make him smile with ease, the other person being Dustin, whom he saw as a little brother.
Steve had known he was in love with Eddie for a while, but Eddie had died before he got the chance to actually tell him.
The day that the two of them had actually reunited, Steve had dranken himself half to death, and didn't even want to believe Eddie was alive again. And, surprisingly, Eddie was the first to confess, and Steve very happily accepted that confession and they had been inseparable ever since then.

A group of 5 had been scouting one day, Robin, Steve, Eddie, Jonathan, and Nancy. They had manage to sneak into Vecna's territory, and they were looking closely for the place Vecna could be hiding.
And then, out of nowhere, they were ambushed by demobats.
Great.
The five of them ran back to the old mill, the place they had been staying for the last few days during the fighting, but the demobats caught up, causing the need to put up a fight.
All of them returned to the mill, not too badly injured..
Except Steve Harrington.
Steve had gotten extremely injured in the attack, so Eddie and Nancy both took him to the medical station, where Joyce was taking care of some of Hoppers infected wounds, but when she saw Steve's injuries, she quickly fixed up and rebandaged Hopper, so she could take care of Steve's injuries.
Eddie and Nancy where kicked out and left to wait outside of the medical station.
It was..awkward...To say the least.
Steve's ex, and Steve's boyfriend, both waiting to make sure he was okay, and still alive.
Nancy had enough of the awkward silence, and decided to strike up a conversation with the vampire who was dating her ex.
"So.." She started with. Why did she start with that? She didn't know, but failed and made the tension between both of them even worse.
"How has Steve been treating you?" She asked, looking at the male, who seemed to perk up at Steve's name. "He's been treating me well, he's nice, and he doesn't seem to mind the whole being a vampire thing." Eddie answered honestly. Nancy smiled slightly and nodded.
