Summary
Steve gave a sheepish nod and followed her out to the waiting room, relieved to see it relatively quiet now at the end of the day. It had been a hectic few hours – Chief Hopper had brought in a starving dog he’d found when called to a domestic, Mrs Byers' dog Chester was in with a limp, someone had dragged a puppy with a suspected parvo case into reception which meant Steve had had to disinfect half the building, not to mention their existing inpatients and routine surgeries for the day, and being short-staffed as usual. Steve was tired.
So when a man in tattered black jeans and a patched denim vest pushed through the main door carrying a box of mewling kittens, Steve’s initial reaction was to sigh.
The man headed over to reception, dropping the box onto the desk and gesturing at it.
“I, ah, found these guys,” he said awkwardly.
*****
Eddie brings six dumped kittens into the vet clinic Steve works at. Steve falls in love.

Summary
Even when his parents forgot to call for his nineteenth birthday, even when Nancy looked past him to gaze at Jonathan with genuine affection, and even when Dustin rolled his eyes when Steve couldn’t follow the threads of their conversation, Steve had comforted himself: at least he had his looks.
But not anymore.
Or, after the events of season four, Steve struggles to come to terms with the scars on his body. Having always prided himself on his good looks, Steve finds that his visible injuries take a major toll on his sense of self-worth and toss him headfirst into a spiral of self-hate. What follows is the progression of Steve’s grief and Eddie’s role in this journey.

Summary
“Hornets aren’t like bees,” his mother continues. “They’re mean. They defend their nest if you get too close. You need to stay away from them.”
“But, Mom-” Steve’s face is hot, and he can’t stop crying.
His mother tsks, her hands falling away from his face. “Steve, calm down. You’re fine. It’s just a hornet string.”
“But it hurts,” Steve wails.
“Of course it does.” His mother stands up, her hands coming to rest on her waist. “But it could be a lot worse.Or, from a young age, Steve has been taught that because other people have it worse, his pain (both physical and emotional) isn’t valid. What follows is four times in which Steve truly believes this and the one time he begins to think differently.
