Summer of '86. Eddie gets a new haircut, gets a new guitar, gets a new band, gets a new job, and maybe even gets a new lease on life.
Steve inches closer to ending his ongoing slow-motion existential crisis and maybe gets lucky along the way.

Summary
Realization #1: Steve is wearing a costume. He’s dressed as Springsteen on the cover of Born In The U.S.A. The album cover is staring at Eddie from the stack of records by the speakers, and he flicks his eyes between the cover and Steve, almost laughing at how obvious the resemblance is.
Immediately after that, revelations two and three slam into him like an eighteen-wheeler.
#2: Bruce Springsteen is kind of hot.
#3: Steve Harrington is really hot.
A fourth and much louder thought echoes through Eddie’s brain: oh, shit.
(Many months ago, I wrote a tumblr post about Steve Harrington being a Bruce Springsteen enjoyer. This fic is about that.)

Summary
Steve makes a face at Eddie. “You've imagined doing stuff with a guy?”
“Yeah, man,” Eddie replies, spreading his hands wide. “Doesn't everyone?”
Steve tilts his head to the side as he thinks. Maybe not very often, but his freshman year when Davey Riggs had been swim team captain? Yeah, he had definitely imagined some stuff that had made trips to the locker room kinda awkward.
“Yeah, that's true,” Steve answers, nodding. “I wonder why everybody acts like it's so gross, though.”
In the summer of 1986, Steve and Eddie have some perfectly normal fun between a couple of perfectly normal dudes.

Summary
It seems to take Steve a moment to process what he’s seeing. His head cocks, mouth hanging open and eyes nearly crossed with the gears grinding inside his head. Then he blinks, taking half a step back from the bed.
“Oh. Holy shit.”
Eddie rubs idly at his shaft, waiting.
“That’s freaky, Munson.”
