"You're like a puzzle put into all the wrong places, Harrington. I wanna break you apart and put you back together again, just to see if the picture's any different." Steve seems to be the only one besides Will that's not coping with the effects of the Upside Down, and he didn't think he went through half the shit everybody else did. He feels like he's being watched, all the time, and the paranoia has gotten so bad he hasn't slept more than four hours in who knows how long. Throwing in monsters, creepy lab doctors, and Billy Hargrove into the mix isn't the best anecdote. ÷ Slight AU because I know Steve should've graduated by now, but I made him be a senior this year sO deal with it

Steve is struggling with his return to reality and school. With nightmares every night, and mystery looming above him, he takes refuge in places he'd never expected. The adventure never ends for the world's best babysitter!
