"Jesus Christ," he says when he gets a good look at Steve's face, then takes a couple steps forward and grabs him by the forearms to keep him standing. He's been through the ringer, bloodied and bruised, and Hopper's not completely sure an eye injury like that isn't going to require a hospital visit, but first he has to get Steve off the street. Off his damn feet, too.

"Come on," he says. "My place is close. You have to sit down and then... shit." Then he'll explain this place to a beaten bloody and very high Steve Harrington.

He doesn't have any idea how and doubts it has much to do with a concussion, but there's still a story to be told. After they get Steve ice for his eye. Hopper would say some painkillers, too, but not with whatever else might be in his system.
