Eddie Munson who really can't stand the sight of blood, especially after the bats incident.
He just freezes and gets nauseous, his stomach feels tight and unsettled. He doesn't pass out or anything, but Eddie has to admit that sometimes it feels like a very close call.
Steve is not very good with blood either, though he definitely isn't as bad as Eddie is.
But then it comes a day where everyone is gathered at Steve's, one of those very rare days where everyone was available and they could actually hang out.
The kids are causing chaos, being reckless as fuck as they jump into the pool while Steve and Eddie are grilling burgers; Robin, Nancy and Jonathan are in the kitchen bickering as they bring the rest of the food and drinks outside.
It happens in a matter of seconds, really. One moment Mike and Dustin are playfully fighting each other inside the pool, the next Mike pushes Dustin with a little too much strength and Dustin ends up hitting his head on the edge.
Like, a lot of blood. The edge of the pool is smeared red, the water too.
The kids screech and cry out, while Dustin just looks confused as he stares at his bloodied hand after he touches his injury, as if not understanding what is happening at all.
Steve panics too because that's Dustin, and he's hurt and Steve should totally do something about this but he's stuck in place for some reason.
It's Eddie who ends up moving first, to everybody's utter astonishment.
He scrambles towards the pool and helps Dustin out, ushering him to the bathroom where Eddie grabs a clean towel and applies pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding.
His actions seem to break Steve out of his panic, so Steve soon shows up with the first aid kit to help out too.
There's a lot of hissing from Dustin as they clean the blood off his hair and then clean the wound. And there's also a lot of pouting when Dustin finds out he can't go into the pool anymore, unless he wants to risk disturbing his injury again.
Other than that, they manage to take care of everything quite quickly, and soon Dustin is heading out to join his friends again, leaving Steve and Eddie behind to dispose of all the bloody gauze and towels used.
Steve is throwing the last of the gauze in the trash when he feels Eddie touch his arm. When he turns, Eddie is pale as a ghost, his forehead glistening with sweat.
"Can you help me to the couch? I think I might pass out," Eddie mumbles, and Steve swears he's turning a little green.
