Eddie dies in the upside down, then wakes up on the day he arrives in Hawkins to live with Wayne.
Knowing a little bit of the future events from what he learned over that crazy week he decides that as the oldest of the teens he’s going to make an effort to gather the others together, while trying not to let in about the future.
I’m just imagining older Eddie taking each of the others under his wing while doing his best not to influence them away from the things that made them awesome at a later date (like he doesn’t try and stop Steve from being a sports guy, or things like that, while trying to steer them towards useful things, like scouts or survival training etc)
Time travel Steddie Eddie goes back in time
