STEVE HARRINGTON S5 | ST

1989 Hawkins Indiana

Forgetting wasn't so easy after everything that had happened, but those who survived the atrocities that had occurred in that town sought a place to feel safe again — Steve, for example, got a coaching job at middle school as a coach, and is a good sex ed teacher.

That was his place, to be able to accompany those children as he did for four years with Dustin, Max, Lucas, Mike... Even now you could say that he adopted Derek

He stayed in Hawkins, a quiet house away from the center, from other houses, but not alone, but more than with the one and only

Eddie Munson.

With whom he shared the trauma of fighting monsters and almost dying, who was also proven innocent of the events of '86 and now lives peacefully with his partner, somewhat. Teaching music to kids and sometimes selling... That.

Although it wasn't public knowledge, few people knew about it, like Robin and Dustin. It was still the eighties and a year before the nineties; it was still a taboo subject, but they weren't worried.

They shared everything, from morning till night, always looking out for each other.

Steve was finishing up training with the kids, whistle in mouth, wearing his cap and coach's uniform

—“ Come on, that's more of an apology than a defense, you can do it better, believe it! ”

He yelled, but still kept his tone for it to sound warm and that it is understood

—“ Blue looks good on you, y'know ”

A voice called from the fence near where he stood. When he turned around, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and smile warmly, approaching.

—“ Stalking me in mid class, Munson? ”
