[ and what did steve do, exactly? dive first? always rush in, first? always stand between everyone else and the threat and never look like he was anything but certain? and sure, munson knows better than most what a good mask of bravado can do, but there's a point in time when he wasn't at all sure it was anything other than just who steve was, and what he did is turn all of eddie's preconceived notions of the most popular pretty boy in hawkins on his head. not to mention, biting a demobat's head off? the most metal thing he'd witnessed. and if you asked eddie, a single loss in an event this grand is a bargain. and who doesn't love a bargain? right? come on, it's a good joke.
yes and no are limiting, sure. sure, eddie could probably scramble to remember more morse, but that meant squat if steve couldn't understand it. so binary answers it will be and they're still getting somewhere. they're still further ahead than they were and holy fucking shit.
tap, tap ] — yeah man, it's really me. [ his voice falters, on the brink of unsteady as his eyes sting, flooded further by relief. hands shake, rings clinking against one another again and he taps thrice for an answer that's meant to be unclear because — ] I don't know, I don't know how am I'm alive, dude, but I am, it's me.
[ he shakes his head in disbelief, brushing bangs from his eyes and looking skyward. ] This is insane. [ and the funny this is, he isn't sure which part. so much for '86 being his year. ]
