Summary
Pilots didn’t retire, often. All bang no whimper, lived like a rockstar until they played it all out on the stage. And Eddie saw it in Steve, in the way Robin watched him sometimes.
Steve was a meteor, a flash of light, quick burst and gone. Eddie had known there was no getting over him either.

Summary
“I’m not dead, am I?” He says to the ocean. She puts a careful hand on his shoulder, just out of sight so he can’t see the way her fingers go thin and dark at the edges. It always scares people, her hands.
“Not yet.”
He rubs his face, rolls his shoulders forwards and claps his thighs. “Well, better odds than I’ve had in a while, gotta say.” He laughs as though this is funny. “Eddie’s going to be pissed I didn’t make it back for dinner.”

Summary
Eddie made a strangled disbelieving noise, expression flickering. “You are not apologizing to me right now, for like, feeling a normal way about stuff. I can’t believe you.”
Steve pushed a shaking hand through his hair. His heart rate no longer in his ears meant he felt he could at least think a little more clearly. “Maybe it was the heat. Doesn’t always have to be something messed up, right?”
Eddie gave him a placating nod. “Sure, heat exhaustion is a helluva thing.”
It had been happening a lot recently. The… forgetting. Zonking out. Whatever. He was pretty sure he was just extra exhausted, it had been a few weeks since everything but it might have just been the adrenaline or something finally wearing off. Sometimes it was like he just forgot someone was speaking, or couldn’t remember for a moment what they’d been talking about. Like blinking out of a fog maybe.
It does not get better, in fact, it actually continues to get worse.

Summary
Steve looks at this new Eddie — the Eddie that crawled back from the Upside Down a week after he died there, scared and a little angry and with a face full of animal blood — and he gets this feeling in his gut, not unlike the feeling he gets when a demogorgon has him in its sights.
Steve likes that feeling. Chases it.
He begins to seek out the feeling that comes from Eddie staring at him a little too intently, or when Eddie drags his tongue, long and different, across teeth that are equally long and different.
Steve can feel his heart begin to race every time it happens, and he knows Eddie can hear his heart begin to race. Steve can tell by the way Eddie shifts in his seat and drops his gaze to the line of Steve’s throat.
Steve thinks he gets high off of that thrill.
