My HC based on nothing is that Gareth’s mom was Steve’s piano teacher for years until he needed a more advanced one. So while Eddie is lamenting his big embarrassing crush on Steve “The Hair” Harrington, Gareth is silently sitting there cursed with the knowledge that’s Steve’s actually kinda nice.
Eddie grumbles about how Harrington is an insensitive asshole and Gareth knows that Steve gets teary-eyed when he can’t pick up a new piano piece of music fast enough. Eddie complains about Harrington’s perfect life and Gareth is forced to remember the fourteen piano recitals his mom took him to and how Steve’s parents were at two of them.
Eddie overhears Steve mention a demogorgon to Nancy Wheeler in the hallway and scoffs about how Steve knows nothing about D&D. Gareth is rudely reminded of the time Steve sat on his front porch waiting for his mom to pick him up and listened to Gareth ramble on about the new role playing game he just learned about. The meanest thing Steve said about it was, “No offense, that sounds like a nightmare. Math and public speaking, no thanks.”

I see a lot of screenshots from undeniably excellent lines in the chat sections of this game, but I feel like people are sleeping on this absolute banger of an excuse Grim gives to try and hang up on you

still thinking about what happens when kyle corrals you back to your place after trivia. he probably pulls up questions saved to his notes app and gives you a pop quiz while you ride his dick. sweating and stuttering your answers, hands splayed to keep yourself steady because he won't even touch you. smug bastard. him bucking up hard every time you take too long to respond.
only after you rack up a sufficient number of points will he roll you over to give you your prize. whispers something stupid that annoyingly works for you. probably second place isn't so bad, is it?
anyway.
