"theyre so hot don't look at me"

Dramatics aside I know I found it as a WIP on Tumblr but I think it was also crossposted on AO3? Was going to be? Anywho, AO3 not confirmed. BUT, it was just after surviving Vecna, Eddie and Steve are laid up in the hospital and the Party kids come to visit a lot but only when Steve is asleep or out of the room. Steve is aware of this and points it out to Eddie after he mentions something recent about the kids and realizes Steve has no idea what he's talking about. Eddie says he's wrong, it's just bad timing cause the kids love him and would always talk about him during Hellfire so it has to be just the bad timing. Like the next day or a few days later Dustin is visiting and talking to Eddie while Steve is asleep cause of the meds they have him on and the kid clams up and makes an excuse to go home once Steve starts waking up which baffles Eddie but Steve is just kind of sad and resigned and acts like he saw it coming/deserves it. The next time the kids visit just as Steve is going to PT (I think) and act shady when Eddie mentions something about Steve so he calls them out asking if they even like him because of the way they've been acting about him and gives them a whole speech about how much Steve has done for them and even he was wrong about his entire perception of the guy and is just so confused about the kids acting this way.

That's about as far as I got before I lost it and I cannot for the life of me find it. I've found some similar but I can't find that particular one. I am begging for help because it has been haunting me.
