[ while it's certainly not the same, eddie can't help but compare their upbringings. eddie's brand of parenting was neglectful in a much different way from steve's, resulting in eddie nearly getting pulled into the wonderful world of juvie at such a young age.
but he got out of it in the end, wound up with an uncle who's been a better parent than he could have ever hoped for. but steve? steve's stuck with his parents, and Eddie can't help but feel a touch sad, even though he doesn't know the extent of what steve has been through. ]
Yeah, Wayne's a good guy. For sure. Gonna miss him when I move out. [ he says it so casually, and even though he has no solid plans, he knows it's going to happen eventually. he can't live in that trailer forever. for one, it still gives him the creeps.
he tries to convince himself it won't be running away to move on, to grow up, maybe even move in with someone one day. ]
You're definitely better at staying still than Dustin is. Love the kid to death but damn if he doesn't fidget at the table when it's not his turn.
[ at this point, he's talking to fill up the silence, to make it feel less weird that he is applying makeup to steve's neck and cover up someone else's handiwork. while simultaneously ignoring the fact that he maybe kind of wishes that were his handiwork. ]
True, I am. Don't exactly have the luxury of a backyard with a pool to lounge around at. [ it's meant to be teasing as he continues to spread the concealer across the bruise, building up enough layers and blend it out so it doesn't look like such an obvious cover up job. it's a little bit different than covering up a tattoo, but he likes to think he did a pretty damn good job. ]
Vampy, though, huh? You think about me biting other people's necks? [ yeah, that's it, munson, just dig yourself deeper and deeper into that hole of yours.
time to break out the powder and finish this the hell up so he can get out of there before he makes a further fool out of himself. ]
