Fics like Someone who leaves on the light for me

“There was a fire. At the mall. I worked there? At Scoops Ahoy.” The way he says the last part sounds strange, like it’s really important somehow that Eddie believes him. “Okay,” he says, then adds, “Is that why you look like that?” Eddie’s never met a fire with fists, but he wants Steve to tell him what happened—not just assume. There’s a beat of silence, like Steve’s weighing his options, and Eddie knows a lie’s coming before Steve even opens his mouth. “Yeah. Building caved in. We made it out—Robin and I. Paramedics checked me over and said I couldn’t drive, so I decided to walk.” Almost ten miles, Eddie estimates. Sure. Totally normal thing to do in the middle of the night, battered and bruised, after escaping a fire. But he’s pretty sure that’s all he’s going to get, so he settles on, “Good thing I came along, then.” “Yeah.” ------------------------------------------- Eddie doesn’t expect to find Steve Harrington half-dead on a dark road in the middle of the night — or to be the one he clings to after.
