10 ~ More than anything

EDDIE'S POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I keep wanting to to talk to Harrington.

With everything that's happening, I kind of just like talking with him. Half the time, I cant even remember what we talk about, but since that day in the Upside-down, it's just easier.

My theory is that Steve Harrington is so charming that he has made himself impossible to be charmed by anyone else.
I will charm him, though.
I will break that barrier.
I'm sure of it.

"So, I heard you complaining to Robin yesterday, about your hair," I say turning on my side to face him.

We have been lying in bed beside each other, mindlessly watching some random sitcom for around 1 and a half hours now. I have coincidentally been trying to come up with something to say to Steve for around the same time.

He blinks and processes what I've said for a second like I've snapped him back to reality from the TV coma he was in.

"Oh, yeah. Is it that bad?" He asks, like he doesn't know it looks as annoyingly good as always.

"I mean, I think it looks as hot as it always has," I smirk.

He rolls his eyes in return.

"Don't act like you don't have that whole leather jacket, tattooed, long haired-bad boy thing going on. You're a catch man, there's no way you don't have guys lining up at your fricking doorstep," he says.

"What makes you say guys, Harrington?" I snort.

I can tell he dies a little inside as his face turns insanely red and his eyes dart around the room.

"Fuck, sorry- I just- I mean, should I not have?"

I can tell he's staring at me but my eyes are set firmly on the window. Eye contact always just makes thing more complicated.

"No, no Harrington, you don't get to learn my life secrets that easily," I say.

STEVE'S POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can't believe I just said that.

I can't believe I just said that.

I mean, of all the things I could've said, I chose possibly one of the most sensitive subjects that I could think of.

I just basically asked Eddie Munson if he liked boys. I just basically asked him if he was gay.

And he just basically said yes.

He turns to face me for the first time in what feels like ages and we lock eyes. His eyes are big and breathtaking, and I find my own eyes drifting down towards his lips. It's not the first time I've found myself staring at his lips.

I remember that day in the upside-down, only 2 days ago now, he was talking to me about Nance but all I could think about was him. And, I suppose I didn't know it at the time, but how much I wanted to kiss him.

I want to kiss him now more than anything.
