Also, I'm pretty sure Steve knows music he just pretends he doesn't, so Eddie can educate him. It's a definite move. Also, he's hard of hearing and he uses that his advantage.
"You know, maybe if you sat in my lap, I would be able to hear you better," Steve would say.
Eddie would sigh before sitting in his lap and continuing his rant about all kinds of music. Of course, Dustin would ruin it.
"Why are you sitting in Steve's lap, Eddie?" Dustin asked as he walked into Steve’s house uninvited. . .again.
"So he can hear me, duh," Eddie exclaimed.
"Dustin," Steve warned.
Dustin pulled Steve’s hair to the side.
"He's wearing his hearing aide," Dustin said.
"Uh, I forgot to get new batteries," he said.
"The light says otherwise," Dustin said.
"You have deceived me! Forsaken me!" Eddie exclaimed and narrowed his eyes. "What else have you lied to me about? Dustin, leave, so I can punish your babysitter properly."
"I just got here!" Dustin exclaimed.
"Leave!" Steve and Eddie said without looking away from each other.
The next day. . .
"Oh my God! That's a lot of bruises on your neck, Steve," Dustin said. "What'd Eddie do? Punch you in the neck?"
"Yeah, that's exactly what he did," Steve said dryly. ". . . With his mouth."
"Oh my god!"

I... think this was just a minor misunderstanding?

Isn't it funny how the man the town called a satanist and a demon, made everyone who knew him smile.
His friends at school always had a place to sit and eat and laugh.
The kids had a place to feel protected and play.
Robin had someone who matched her on a level of weird the others couldn't understand.
Nancy had an equal in a planner and a helper.
Steve had someone who had his back, who would pass him a flashlight, a vest, a shield, who made him laugh when he was in such pain.
The town wanted dead a man who's only crime was trying to make a young girl's night not suck just once. Who was punished for being different, a person who would've thrived if he'd just been given a chance, or had been born in another place or another time.
Steve visited Eddie's grave only once.
"Sometimes I'm glad you're dead, Eds, this town didn't deserve you anyway."
