Fics like they should have seen it in your eyes (what was going around your head)

He barely felt Steve’s hands on him in what felt like hours later. He opened his eyes, lashes wet and sticky on his cheek. He stumbled and stopped playing, reverb screeching throughout the too-quiet Upside Down version of his shoddy trailer. He looked up and found Nancy Fucking Wheeler staring at him, eyes decidedly fixed on his. She looked relieved, tears falling down her face as Steve stood shoulder to shoulder with the two of them, breaths heaving. She jumped at him, and Eddie flinched out of reflex as her arms wrapped around his neck, her petite frame trembling around his. Eddie’s guitar was stuck between them, painfully pressing into his side. Steve met his eyes from over her shoulder, giving him a grateful nod. Eddie felt like he couldn’t catch his breath, but Nancy was safe for now, Steve and Robin and the kids wouldn’t hate him for not being able to save her, and- “Not that I should have to say this, but guys, get up here NOW!” Dustin screeched through the gate, breaking their quiet reprieve. - Eddie lives in his van post-Vecna, isolating himself and struggling to get by. Steve has enough and takes matters into his own hands.
