You can't hide behind radios

Eddie rested his feet on the dash of the BMW, at this point Steve had given up telling him, he always had surprisingly clean shoes anyway, the long haired man fiddled the dial on the radio, attempting to tune into something decent. Finally finding a station playing 'twisted sister' he lay his head back and closed his eyes, completely ignoring the look Steve had given him. 

"Twisted Sister? I thought you liked black sabbath?" 

"I do, there's more than one metal band out there Stevie"  Steve nodded, adjusting the way he was sat as the song ended (Eddie really wasn't all to lucky when it came to radio stations) now they were playing 'Red Red Wine' by UB40 , one of Steve's personal favourites, which Eddie knew from the times he had let his boyfriend pick the sex music, he turned to the other man giving him a playful smirk.

"Don't even think about it Harrington" Steve began, making Eddie smile softly at the new nickname that his lover had picked up "I just had this thing cleaned" 

"Oh fineee, when we get home?" 

"It's really late..I'm kinda tired"

"Okay!"

Eddie smiled sweetly and rested his head on Steve's shoulder, glancing up at him as he drove back to the trailer, he still worried about Steve a lot.. 

He often got night terrors about the time he was captured by the Russians in starcourt, not to mention all the other stuff, of course everyone else got nightmares, they seemed to be able to brush them off after a little comfort, but not Steve, he seems to remember everything, he even had an argument with his dad about it, that's why he was staying with Eddie now, he just didn't want to go back to his parents.. 

Last night he had woken up sweating, panicking, hot ,briny tears streaming down his face, the look of complete anguish still fresh in his mind now he glanced up at his boyfriend once again. 

There it was, that look, that look where someone's eyes glass over like deep, frozen pools and their lip starts to tremble, that look when if they spoke their voice would shake enough to forge mountains. 

"Steve honey, pull over for a sec.."  Eddie placed a hand on Steve's thigh, comforting him as they pulled onto an empty parking lot..  Steve turned to him chestnut eyes gleaming with un-shed tears

"What's going on?.." his voice sounded like it could shatter into a million pieces at a strong gust of wind, it broke his heart to see Steve like this, not only did he feel bad for him but he also felt guilty that he let it get this far. 

"Sweetheart what's wrong?.."  the long haired man cupped the face of the other in his hands, cold rings fresh against the flush of a tear stained face

"I don't know.." Steve sighed dropping his head to face the floor "I just started thinking and then I couldn't stop and-.." 

"Sshhh it's okay, you're okay" 

"I know- I know I just need a minute, that okay?" 

"Take as long as you want, I'll be here the whole time, unless I have to pee, in which case I'll be ten steps thataway" he pointed dramatically, earning a tearful giggle from the other man.

"Thanks Eds.." 

"Of course"  He kissed his forehead softly and grasped his hand, doing his best to reassure him.
