Steve Harrington sat on his couch, staring blankly at the TV screen. He wasn't really paying attention to the show but instead lost in his own thoughts. He had been thinking about his past, specifically his behavior towards Eddie in high school.

He remembered how he had called Eddie a freak and made fun of him for being gay. Looking back now, he knew how wrong he was, but at the time, he didn't care. It wasn't until he met Robin, his coworker at Scoops Ahoy, that he began to understand how much he had hurt Eddie.

Robin had come out to him as a lesbian, and for a moment, Steve didn't understand, but as they became closer, he realized that he had no right to judge her. It was through Robin that Steve began to see how wrong he had been towards Eddie. He met Eddie again during the events of the UpsideDown Eddie a few months ago, and they had somewhat become friends.

But then, something strange began happening. Steve found himself increasingly attracted to Eddie, and he didn't know what to do about it. He had never been attracted to men before, but he couldn't stop thinking about Eddie. One night, when they were sitting on Steve's couch, he decided to take a chance.

"Eddie," he said, nervously fidgeting with the remote. "I don't know how to say this, but I think I might be bisexual."

Eddie looked at him quizzically. "Congrats, I guess but what why are you telling me this?"

Steve took a deep breath. "I'm like you, Eddie. I've been struggling with these feelings for a while now, and I just had to tell you."

Eddie's face twisted in disgust. "What the fuck you've got to be kidding me. You think that just because you've realized you might be bisexual, that I'm just going to forgive you for the hell you put me through in high school? That is bbeyond fucked up, Steve."

Steve was taken aback by Eddie's reaction. He hadn't expected him to be pleased, but he didn't expect him to react with such disgust. He tried to explain himself. "I know what I did was wrong, Eddie. I'm not denying that. But I'm not that same person anymore. I just need you to know that I'm sorry for everything, and I'm trying to make it right."

"You're trying to make it right? By asking me out on a date when you treated me like shit for years?" Eddie scoffed. "That's Funny, Steve. You're only doing this to alleviate your own guilt and to make yourself feel better. You don't care about me, Steve. You never did, and you never will."

Steve felt like he had been punched in the chest. He couldn't believe that Eddie thought that he didn't care about him. "That's not true, Eddie. I do care about you. I wouldn't be here talking to you if I didn't."

Eddie looked at Steve coldly. "Save it, Harrington. This conversation is over."

Eddie got up from the couch and headed towards the door, stopping only to say, "Just because you've realized that you're attracted to guys, doesn't mean you get to erase all the pain you caused me. It's too late, Steve. It'll always be too late."

Steve sat alone on his couch, tears streaming down his face. He felt like a fool for thinking that he and Eddie could ever be anything more than just friends. He knew that he had ruined any chance he had with Eddie, and he didn't blame him for his anger.

Slowly, Steve came to the realization that he couldn't change his past, and he couldn't change the hurt he had caused Eddie. He knew that he would spend the rest of his life trying to make it up to him, but he also knew that it might never be enough.

Eventually, Steve and Eddie stopped talking altogether, and over time, Steve moved on with his life. He dated other people, but no one made him feel the way Eddie did. A part of him would always regret what he had done and the choices he had made, but he also knew that it was time to move on.

Years later, Steve would sometimes see Eddie in town, and he would feel a pang of guilt and longing in his chest. He never approached Eddie, knowing that it was too late, but he also knew that he would always have a special place in his heart for him.
