more than i love myself.

Steve has been living a rather monotonous life for the past two years. It's 1988, and he's still living with his parents (unfortunately), and still working with Robin at Family Video. It's nice to have a break from the wildness of the past few years of his life, but Steve's starting to have doubts about his ability to.. be normal. The nightmares are still as awful as ever, and Hawkins just... isn't the same.

Little does Steve know, his life is about to become exciting again. And all it will take is the simple ring of a little bell.

(This is an AU where the fissures didn't open in Hawkins but everything else is the same)
