Eddie can’t figure it out. They’re barely even friends. But Steve was there when Eddie woke up in the hospital. Steve went back to what remained of the old trailer to rescue Eddie’s books and his concert t-shirts and his guitar. Steve paid for a fucking tutor to come to the hospital, and later to Steve’s kitchen, to help Eddie get through his finals so he could actually, finally graduate. Steve even threw him a graduation party afterwards, which was just Eddie running a D&D one-shot for the kids in the massive Harrington living room. Although Steve drew the line at joining the game, he did buy them all pizza. The point is, no one has ever done this much for Eddie in his life. (Well, he knows some very scary people in suits did something to get the murder charges against him dropped, but that happened while he was mostly unconscious, and he still doesn’t know or want to know the details.) As far as he can tell, Steve has spent every waking moment since dragging Eddie’s bleeding skin sack out of the Upside Down trying to make sure Eddie never wants for anything again. And that just makes the wanting so much worse.
