[ Eddie laughs, and he makes it abundantly clear that he’s not upset. If anything, he’s amused—and honestly incredibly touched that Steve cared enough to approach things with caution. ]
Not really? I mean, we weren’t. We only officially met like, a week before coming here. Different circles, you know?
[ It’s sort of weird how that changed. No one who grew up in a town as small as Hawkins is totally unknown to one another. You grow up recognizing faces and names and knowing what their parents do, so Eddie knew Steve as the rich jock who apparently didn’t approve of freshmen being beaten up but probably still wasn’t someone he wanted to tangle with.
In hindsight, he probably shouldn’t have judged so harshly. It was pretty hypocritical of him, and now it’s hard for him to think of going back to not being friends with Steve Harrington. It goes without saying that things change. ]
Dude cares way too much sometimes, honestly, but…I am forced to acknowledge that he’s a good guy.
