    Summary

    So there’s this new guy at Richmond, Julio, and Jamie doesn’t like him.

    He doesn’t know why, and he’s annoyed with himself for not being able to put his finger on it.

    After spending the break in Marbella with Roy, Jamie’s closer to everyone at Richmond than ever — and especially to Roy and Keeley. Something might be happening there, and he doesn’t want anything to mess that up. But when Julio Rodríguez joins Richmond from Fortaleza during the summer transfer window, the rest of the team loves him, and Jamie finds that he just can’t feel the same. Maybe he just resents the fact that they all take to Julio instantly. The first time he’d come to Richmond, he’d had too many walls up to let people in properly, and the second time, he’d had to work so hard to get everyone to want him around. But Julio seems to really like Jamie, so Jamie is going to overcompensate to make up for it, to be the best teammate he can be to make sure any jealousy doesn’t show.

    This, it turns out, is a mistake.

    Summary

    “I’m telling you, he’s gay.”

    Steve twisted his head none too subtly and peered over towards the pair of boys who were huddled outside the video store, standing next to an ostentatiously obnoxious yellow-coloured pizza delivery van. The two of them seemed to be laughing at something, and the one with the long hair—Arthur? Anthony?—was wildly waving the copy of Revenge of the Nerds he had just rented in Jonathan’s face, while the other grinned, pulling open the van’s trunk door.

    “He’s not gay,” Steve said with a offput frown. “This is Jonathan we’re talking about. He’s…different,” he told Robin carefully, struggling to come up with the right words. “Kind of an ass sometimes, but…”

    “Gay,” Robin interjected with. “You didn’t see the look he gave you last week when you took your shirt off at the lake.”

    --

    Or: Robin has a hunch about Jonathan. Steve doesn't believe her.

    Summary

    That was it. The perfect opportunity. Ray's pulse instantly skyrocketed as he ran the calculations in his head at light speed and arrived at the dreaded conclusion that it was time to rip the bandaid off.

    “You ever kissed a guy?”

    Summary

    “Look, we call them Show-And-Tell nights.” He explained, tense, trying to find the correct words and uncomfortably looking between Eddie and the floor. “It’s not like any of us can talk to a therapist, but God knows some of these kids are prone to repression and they’re the unhealthiest little shits in the world, so Robin suggested that we hung out after the—“ he took in a deep breath, then let it out slowly, “the traumatic experience in question, to talk about it.”

    Eddie nodded, taking it all in. He had to admit that it made sense. Kids like Wheeler could definitely use a nudge to open up (or a push down a cliff) and it was nice that Steve and Robin set up these amateur therapy sessions, but–

    “There’s gonna be pizza.” Harrington added.

    “Are you trying to Pavlov us into talking about our feelings?” Eddie eyed him, suspicious.

    ——-

    OR: After the events of S4, Eddie helps Steve find himself, and Steve helps Eddie find peace.

    Summary

    “I think this might qualify as torture,” Robin moans just over halfway through their last shift of the week, eyes rimmed in red and the circles under her eyes darker than ever. Steve blinks at her stupidly from where he is standing behind the bar, the heat from the coffee machines warming his back and drawing him towards that place between sleep and waking. His arms feel heavy.

    “And we’ve actually been tortured, so we’d know,” Steve nods sagely, because it’s not funny but if he keeps making jokes about it maybe it will eventually become funny.

    “At least the Russians let us pass out between rounds of terror and intimidation,” Robin muses.

    “And punching,” Steve continues.

    --X--

    In the aftermath of Vecna, Hawkins reels. Even without fully understanding the magnitude of what happened (almost happened) there's a long road back to anything approaching normal. The fissures, the property damage, the injuries. It seems impossible that after everything they've been through, that life just has to...go on.

    But hey - they're old hats at this by now.

    So of course Steve Harrington survives the (almost) end of the world just to have to work the night-shift at a fucking Denny's.
