With all the power you're releasing
It isn't safe to walk the city streets alone

with being send on a mission to find joyce and jane, vanya finds himself at hawkins high, living the life of a seemingly normal student.

not fitting in because of him obviously coming from russia, vanya has a hard time making friends ( not that he wanted some in the first place ) and to get in touch with people from his school.

Anticipation is running through me
Let's find the key and turn this engine on

S I G N I F I C A N T E V E N T S

i. meeting eddie munson

after getting into a fight with jason carver, vanya gets to know the freaks of
hawkins high.

❝hi, i'm eddie
who?
eddie
no, sorry - who asked?
your mom, you bastard❞

I can feel you breathing
I can feel your heart beat faster

ii. realizing joyce and jane moved to california_________________________________

after a couple of days in hawkins, vanya gets information about the byers moving
to cali last summer. he stepped by their old home just to find an old couple living in there.

iii. hanging out with eddie munson more often____________________________________

it doesn't take long for them to find out about being quasi-neighbors, due to vanya moving
into the trailer next to eddie's

❝so, we're going to see each other more often, then? cool - exiting, sunshine.
yeah, no.❞

iv. lying to his bosses to stay in hawkins__________________________________

there's something going on that vanya doesn't dare to name. it's some strange feeling that he doesn't want to leave this place - maybe it's not even the place he doesn't want to leave behind.

❝what do you mean you found them?
they're right here
they weren't here a few days ago
asked a witness, they've spend the summer in cali, joyce's son goes to college there
i don't care as long as we get what we need, antonov❞

v. their first kiss______________________________________

after the hellfire campaign, eddie and vanya were loosing themselves in talking, taking a walk through the hawkins forests and ending up making out at skull rock, to everyone's surprise.

❝i am not gay, munson
you can still kiss me?
sounds fucking gay to me?❞

Take me home tonight
I don't want to let you go 'til you see the light

vi. trying to escape the russian government______________________________

it was just a matter of time that the russians came behind vanya's betrayal - he simply didn't expected it to be this fast. a couple of days after their first kiss, russian guards arrive at the trailer park. eddie and vanya notice them from eddie's trailer.

❝they're here
who?
my people.❞

x. reunion with dimitri in kamchatka

❝vanya, what the fuck are you doing here?
probably dying.❞

I get frightened in all this darkness
I get nightmares I hate to sleep alone
