Even if Steve doesn't remember helping him, or the fact that they'd bonded, Eddie is still glad Chrissy has him as a friend here. She deserves that, having people who look out for her, who are kind to her without expecting anything in return.
He knows he could only ever see her life from the outside, but based on what he's learned about her, Eddie has a feeling Chrissy never really had that back in Hawkins. At least he had his Uncle Wayne, the Hellfire Club. Eddie had people who loved him and appreciated him as exactly who he is.
Chrissy should have that, too.
"Have you met his girlfriend here?" he asks instead of saying any of that, then grins. "Not the kind of girl I'd have ever pictured Steve Harrington dating."
