Well, it probably goes without saying but even so? I really like you, too.
[ Between both Steve and Eddie apparently complaining to Robin, she's most definitely going to be happy now that they can both shut up about this whole predicament! ]
( robin is going to give him such a hard time but honestly, steve deserves this. )two dumb dudes.
okay. cool.
so... now that we've cleared this up after i made a fucking idiot out of myself. i am not using your near death to get laid? ( unless eddie is involved. which. uh oh. now that they've figured this all out steve has to deal with what comes after which is a boy he likes, likes him back (!!!) and for which he is really unprepared. )
[ a part of eddie thinks he's going to wake up and find out this whole conversation was just a dream, but even he isn't sure his imagination is this good. ]
and thank fucking christ for that. [ oh, if he were bolder and if he weren't so sure steve was about to have a panicked moment over all of this, he probably would have leaned into the innuendo of it all. ] how about we both make fucking idiots out of ourselves. maybe over some drinks?
[ and even after everything that just transpired and he has confirmation, for fuck's sake, the little voice in the back of eddie's head can't help but repeating pleasesayyespleasesayyes ]
Over drinks? Like a date?( he just wants to be sure that they're on the same page here because steve's a date guy. he loves dates. well, he likes taking people out on them that he likes and making sure they have a good time. )Or like drinks at my place because I'd like either of those options.
With you.
Yeah. Drinks is good.( as he continues to be an idiot. fuck. )
Yeah, like a date.[ thus begins the minor freak out while eddie worries yet again he's being too presumptuous. because clearly he is still convinced he is imagining this whole thing and it's not going to feel real until he's in the same room kissing steve. ]
On second thought? Drinks at your place might be better.
Because, like. I'm gonna be honest, it's going to be an absolute shitshow trying to keep my hands to myself in public.
[ honesty is good, right? he's not going to scare steve away...right? ]
A date. Okay, it's a date at my place. ( which is fine. steve's used to going out and planning dates, sure, but he actually really likes the idea of something low-key, at home with the person he likes.
with eddie, who happens to be that person. )Okay, that's fine. I'm not going to be able to keep my hands off of you either? So you don't have to hold back?
[ that's what you do with the person you like. or at least that what steve does, since he's a tactile person in general. he hasn't connected the dots that this will be him doing all the things he's thinking of with eddie in practice, not in theory but that's a not right now steve problem. ]
Great, yeah, that sounds great. Can't wait![ because of course he can't stop rhyming now.
and it's comforting to know they're on the same page. he's used to guys being unsure of themselves the first time they're with another man. so eddie never knows if it's okay to get so handsy their first time together. ]
Good, I'm glad, because I definitely don't want you to keep your hands to yourself. At all.
At all? What do you want me to do to you? ( is he an eager puppy here? maybe. no regrets until he's thought about it a little more deeply and realizes maybe, just maybe, it'd be good to slow down but that steve's not here right now. )

Yeah, solidarity in dumbness, I guess.

[ Has he thought about this a lot? Maybe. He's definitely thought about what Steve's hands would feel like yanking at his hair. ]
And those fingers of yours tracing along the lines of my tattoos like they're constellations in the sky.

That's really poetic, Eds. Where else would you want me to touch you?
no subject
Is it a cop out to say everywhere? Because shit, I want you to memorize every inch of me.
no subject
I want to kiss you everywhere, learn what you like. ( is that too much? is that cheesy? )
no subject
I want to learn how you taste. And not just your lips.
no subject
Not just my lips? Yeah? Tell me, Eds.
no subject
Your skin must taste so good. And I definitely need to leave a few marks behind.
no subject
Must, huh?
no subject
It just looks so delectable, been wanting to lick it for weeks.
