Summary
Steve nodded, feigning understanding but he could tell something was up. He wasn’t the brightest when it came to school stuff, but Steve Harrington was good at reading other people—particularly teenagers who got into too much trouble. Call it a sixth sense at this point.
But Max was different. She came later than the rest of the kids, and she was a teenage girl, so shoot him for not feeling as confident in his intervention skills when it came to her.
“Dustin said the books were all about uh necro-mania or something. Black magic,” and Steve caught her skeptical gaze. “You working on some hardcore Halloween costume?” he chuckled but the redhead didn’t seem to think this particular line of questioning was funny.
“Sure Steve,” she scoffed. “It’s a project for Halloween,” Max nodded but Steve found it odd how she continued to avoid his gaze.
___________
Or Max misses Billy so much after Starcourt that she would do anything to bring him back, and Steve Harrington, Hawkins' Best Babysitter is along for the ride.Series

Summary
The first time Steve Harrington met Mr. William Hargrove it had been a winter day like any other. Nothing out of the ordinary, clouds rolled through the steel-colored sky and snow fell in clusters outside his storefront as the sun began to play hide and seek behind buildings on the city skyline. All Steve could recall when asked about that moment was the smell of cigarette smoke and a cologne that was distinctly clean and masculine. Oh, and something akin to the feeling of his restless soul that always seemed to be longing for something, finally settling itself deep in the hollow spaces of his bones. A kind of grounding. Something that he hadn’t felt in a long time. Maybe ever.
____________
Or, florist Steve Harrington meets William Hargrove, heir to his father’s illegal Chicago enterprise, and finds himself enraptured with a man bound by his violent fate. -

Summary
“You said you still dream of what happened, don’t you?” Robin’s voice was soft as she knocked the toes of her sneakers together. “About Billy at the mall. When he died.”
Steve pressed his lips together and nodded. He had confided in her once after coming into work with deep set circles under his eyes. He hadn’t slept in days it felt like, his mind constantly replaying what happened each time he closed his eyes.
Robin pushed herself off the counter and turned toward the stack of videos, picking up the scanner. “I’m just saying Steve, you said you didn’t really understand Billy. And you don’t know why you still dream of what happened. Maybe the answer is inside that box.”
____
Thanks to Max, Steve becomes the keeper of Billy Hargrove's things after he dies in Starcourt and learns more than he ever thought he would about his old rival. It doesn't take long for Steve to realize that maybe he was wrong about Billy, which begs the question: how should he feel now?Series

Summary
Steve noted the wariness in his lover’s voice as he stared through the smart looking lenses down at his own handwriting. He wanted to kiss his furrowed brow smooth, but he knew that Billy was sometimes uncomfortable with public displays, wondering especially in these meetings how it would make other potential parents view them.
“It just…” Billy’s voice was low as he looked up and scanned the room, all the seats nearly filled as the social worker who had been assigned to their group training came back and started walking around to distribute the packets. “It’s just becoming…real.”
“Hey,” Steve whispered, leaning in close. “We’ve got this. You’ve got me, and I’ve got you. And no matter what kid we have the incredible opportunity to get, they’ve got us. That’s all we need.”

Summary
So now it was approximately 7:30pm and Billy was standing on Steve Harrington’s doorstep, freezing his balls off with a bag of magic mushrooms in his pocket because Eddie Munson was not only dating Chrissy Cunningham, but he was right and Billy was a giant queer and totally in love with the brunette and would take any excuse offered to get close to him, even if it was—
“Hey,” Billy greeted breathlessly as Steve finally opened the door. He pulled the baggie from his pocket and grinned as he wiggled it in the air and ran his tongue slowly across his bottom lip. “Wanna get high?”
---

Summary

The disease can be cured through surgical removal, but when the infection is removed, the victim’s romantic feelings will also disappear.
The first time it happened, Billy thought he was having some kind of asthma attack, not that he was enough of a loser to be carrying around an inhaler and wheezing around during phys-ed or basketball practice, but his chest hurt.
--
Or Billy Hargrove is afflicted by the mysterious hanahaki disease, and the person who endeavors to help him heal it is Steve Harrington.Series

By 1991, a lot has changed for Steve “The Hair” Harrington. He's left Hawkins and its monsters from the Upside Down in the rearview, to venture with his best friend Robin and her girlfriend Heather to Chicago. After a few years at community college he’s managed to get a bachelor’s degree under his belt and has secured his school district’s Teacher of the Year award within his first year as a kindergarten teacher. After leaving his hockey gear alongside his heart in Hawkins, Steve is shocked to find that his prize for his great teaching skills is tickets and an appearance at a pro-hockey game where he isn’t just reunited with his love for the game, but also with the guy who might be the love of his life.
