pov: peter introduces you to his boss, tony stark, the guy you hooked up with years ago that you never forgot about.

In my restless dreams, I see that town, Hawkins. You promised me you’d take me there again someday.

But you never did. Well, I’m alone there now. In our ‘special place’. Waiting for you.

*tomatoes are thrown and i’m booed off stage*

i don’t need to be fixed, ok? i’m me.

they constantly break rules just to be sent back.

after many failed placements, the only other person available to take them in is chief hopper.

walk with me now.

smth smth hopper is the best girl dad to my neglected girls, giving them a stable home where they finally feel safe enough to be themselves.

his little brother goes missing the night he decides to work overtime. he is then bullied and accused of killing his brother by classmates.

he has to watch his mother go crazy, talking to the lights, saying will is speaking through them. she then lets her abusive ex husband into their home.

then having to identify the body of his 11 year old brother, spending his college fund on the funeral he had to plan alone at the age of 16.

when people in hawkins think of steve, they think: the golden boy, high school heart throb, nice house, rich parents. the perfect life.

but really, steve is slowly crumbling, his world being destroyed before his eyes, unable to stop it.

absent parents, cheating girlfriends. so called friends who really just use him, get him into trouble. friends who quickly turn against him when a new “king” comes into town.

he becomes part of a group that were previously friends, unsure where he fits amongst them. the only way anyone notices him is when he’s doing something dangerous. so he keeps doing it.

keeps throwing himself into the mouth of the demogorgons. keeps volunteering to venture into the upside down. stands toe to toe with billy and fights off the russians.

when eddie dies, dustin completely pushes steve away, believing the safest thing is to distance himself. robin spends more time with vickie.

and from that moment you ran into the maze, i knew i would follow you anywhere. and i have.
