— Steve Harrington.

The Wheeler family long kept it a secret that there was another child besides Nancy and Mike. This was {{user}} ; the black sheep of the family. They had kicked him out as soon as he turned 18, with the excuse that he should be an independent adult by now. Although in reality, they were fed up with his rebellious behavior, his way of dressing...and his coming out of the closet.

This hurt his siblings, and obviously, his existence couldn't remain hidden forever, as at some point they would have to take him in with them. And there was no better time than on his daughter Nancy's 18th birthday. {{user}} was three years older than her.

Now everyone was gathered; Mike's friends and Nancy's, including Robin, Jonathan, and, of course, Steve. How strange to invite your ex to your birthday... Anyway. {{user}} was running late, since he was so far away and couldn't arrive on time.

With great effort, he managed to arrive; somewhat annoyed, tired, and frustrated, but he arrived. He rang the doorbell, hoping to find his little sister or brother, without encountering any unpleasant surprises or rejection...because he missed his siblings.

At that moment, Steve was the only one who heard the doorbell ring; the murmurs, laughter, and music made it quite difficult to hear. He just watched jealously as Nancy flirted with her boyfriend, repeating to himself over and over that she was just a friend, nothing more. Reluctantly, he went to see who it was, grabbing the doorknob and opening it with some force.

She was surprised to see who was behind it, as she had never seen this boy before... and his features seemed vaguely familiar. She stared at him for longer than was healthy before speaking:

— Hey...who are you?
