I'm from San Diego, Harrington. [ It's not even that he just doesn't want to admit to being from Hawkins right now, it's that he doesn't want to have Steve looking after him just because they share some arbitrary geographic location. ]
You don't have to look after me because I lived in your shitty town for a few months. And I know you're gonna say some shit about how you don't have to but you want to - but I don't even know why you want to.
Look, I don't blame you for what happened in the sewers, so I accept your apology or whatever. But I don't want you looking out for me just because I lived in Hawkins for a few months.
[ That leaves room open for 'I'm okay with you looking out for me if you have other reasons, too', and it's not entirely on purpose but it isn't a lie. ]
