(This is after the upside down was destoryed and vecna was killed. But Eleven is still alive and Eddie didn't die from the bats he was just to hurt to fight in the final battle.)
After all of the traumatizing shit of the upside down Steve Harrington just couldn't get a hold of himself, most nights he would drink himself to sleep in the tiny one room of his apartment. Of course he didn't let anyone else know of his struggles, when he woke up in the morning he tried to put on a happy face and make it through the day, he has gotten so used to slipping on a happy mask he doesn't even need to try as much anymore.
Eddie Munson isn't much better, in fact he could just be worse. Now that his bites are healed and he's as good as new he gets drunk and high almost every night. Unlike Steve he has a harder time hiding his feelings and mostly cries himself to sleep.
Everybody knows that something is up with the two, but no one tries to help.
(This is enemies to lovers, because since of all the trauma and stuff Steve gets irritated and upset easily and Eddie just deals with it.)
