    Summary

    "Steve Harrington never says no to anyone."

    When he first heard someone say it, he thought maybe it was just a weird way for people to say that Steve was too nice, which made sense to Lucas. Despite the fact he used to be a huge public facing douchebag, Steve was nice. Almost painfully so. Sure he called them shitheads sometimes and argued with them like he was their mom, but he was always there when they needed him and always saving them from the end of the world at the expense of his own physical safety. Steve Harrington was nice, and Lucas thought it was cool that other people were realizing that. But the more he heard that sentence, the more it felt like that wasn’t what anyone was implying. The more he heard it, the more it kind of made Lucas’ skin itch.

    Or, the one where Lucas realizes maybe the basketball team isn't where he should be trying to fit in.

    Summary

    “Come to ask for an autograph?” Eddie asked.

    “Was it an original?”

    “You don’t recognize Sabbath? Black Sabbath? Ozzy Osbourne?”

    Altar boy tilted his head to one side like a confused puppy.

    “That’s devastating, altar boy.”

    “Steve.”

    “Huh?”

    “My name’s Steve, incase you feel like serenading some more, and, uh, I’m not an altar boy.”

    “No?” Eddie’s eyes flicked over him. “You look like one.”

    “I’m surprised you’d know, I doubt you’ve ever stepped foot inside a church.”

    “And what? You’re gonna change that for me?”

    Steve let out an amused exhale. “I suppose no one’s past saving, but you might be a close call.”

    “Lucky for you, I didn’t ask for saving. Long live the devil, baby.”
