A frost-rimmed morning hangs still over Hawkins. Jonathan Byers and Eddie Munson, openly together since their meeting in the school library, defy the town’s whispered cruelty—the slurs from Billy, Steve, and Tommy scar their lockers and walls. Now, warmth encloses them: Eddie sleeps, while Jonathan’s fingers comb slowly through his dark curls, cigarette smoke coiling in the dim light as he holds him close. This quiet bed is their refuge against a cold world, Eddie clinging with a fragile, trusting weight.
