Eddie woke up still on Steve's couch. He got up very quickly he barely even could remember what happened last night because he was crying so much. His left rib still ached. "S-steve? Are you in the house?" Eddie called out rubbing his eyes. Eddie went into the hallway he went straight to Steve's room but Steve was not there. Eddie started to panic he searched Steve's entire house. "Steve! Where are you!?" Eddie yelled running around the whole house, though he could barely run because his rib hurt so bad still. Eddie fell to the ground, he started to sob holding his knees he was confused and he was still hurting. Steve came into the house with a few groceries, he saw eddie sobbing on the ground. Steve put the groceries down and ran over to Eddie. "Hey hey are you okay? What happened." Steve said kneeling down with Eddie rubbing his back. Eddie looked up his face full of tears. "I thought you left for good I got so scared harrington" Eddie said his voice and his body were very shaky. "I would never leave you alone not with a stitched up cut.. I just went to grab some groceries. Im sorry if i scared you" Steve said hugging Eddie. Eddie sobbed in Steves shoulder. Steve started to get the idea that eddie had separation anxiety and he felt very bad. "Are you hungry? I got some donuts for breakfast?" Steve asked. Eddie rose up and nodded. Steve looked at Eddies eyes they were extremely red . "I'm gonna go look for the eye drops help you're self to some donuts." Steve said running into the hallway. Eddie who was extremely exhausted and hungry he definitely did help himself to some donuts.

Steve came back with eye drops, he saw eddie in the kitchen asleep on the counter with pink frosting on his face. Steve laughed a little bit. "Hey eddie wake up im gonna do some eye drops on you. " Steve said trying to wake Eddie up. Eddie jolted up. "Huh?! Eye drops what does that mean?" He said looking at Steve making eye contact. Steve blushed a little "uhh it just uh helps your eyes to not be so red." Steve said staring at eddies beautiful eyes. "Oh... WAIT MY EYES ARE RED?! HARRINGTON IM GONNA TURN INTO A ZOMBIE NOOO LEAVE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE" Eddie yelled in panic running around Steve's living room in circles, Eddie fell flat on his face on the couch. "EDDIE CALM DOWN YOURE NOT GONNA TURN INTO A ZOMBIE." Steve said yelling back trying to calm down Eddie. Steve sat down next to Eddie. "You're not gonna turn into a zombie, it's just you're eyes are so red because you've been crying so much. Eye drops just help the redness go away." Steve explained making eye contact again. "Wait I've been crying a lot? ......... I'm sorry" Eddie said he thought it was embarrassing to cry because Eddie was 20. "No you don't need to be sorry you were in pain it's okay to cry everybody cries." Steve said trying to make Eddie feel better. "Now lay down so I can do this and yes it is going to feel funny but it will not hurt." Steve said as eddie lied down on the couch. Steve put the eye drops in both Eddies eyes. "Don't rub you're eyes okay? It should start working pretty soon." Steve said running back into the hallway.

Eddie wanted to thank Steve for helping him but he didn't wanna do it just yet. Eddie did like boys but he didn't know if Steve was really his type, I mean Steve was a beautiful man and he was so sweet but Eddie just didn't really know.

Steve came back and he ran around the house looking for his keys, he was in a rush. Eddie noticed: "what are you d-doing?" Eddie asked watching Steve look for his keys. "Im gonna leave the house for a little bit ill be back pretty soon" steve said looking in his kitchen. "B- but i don't wanna be alone..." Eddie said. Steve looked at Eddie, the redness in his eyes had disappeared. "You won't be, Robin is gonna look after you while im gone" steve said rubbing Eddie's shoulder. "Oh.. Who's Robin?" Eddie asked looking confused. "She's my friend and she's gonna look after you." Steve said putting his shoes on. Eddie lied his head on the couch arm rest, gosh he was so exhausted from crying, all the pain he's been in. "Robin will be here shortly." Steve said fixing up his hair in the mirror. Eddie didn't answer because he was fast asleep. Steve smiled at Eddie sleeping, "he's so pretty" Steve thought admiring him.

somebody knocked on the door.
