"Harrington..?"
Steve looked up at the creature, finally getting a good look at it. It wore a ripped up leather jacket & a ripped up white shirt with some sort of devil figure on it. His black jeans with a chain & a handkerchief looked ripped on purpose.
It wore big metal rings on it's fingers & had messed up white sneakers. Steve thought he was hallucinating. He clumsily stood up & backed away from it.
It kept walking towards Steve, that familiar voice ringing through Steve's ears. "Harrington, it's me! It's Eddie!" He tried explaining. Steve shook his head, his eyes wide as he pursed his lips. His back hit a tree, Eddie in front of him.
Eddie's hand caressed Steve's cheek gently, making sure not to hurt him or scratch him with his long & sharp black nails. "You're not real.." Steve sobbed. "No, I'm real. I swear." Eddie said.
"No you're not! Let go of me, please!" Steve cried. Eddie backed away, a little upset as his hand left Steve's cheek. "Y-You're supposed to be dead!" Steve said as he pointed at Eddie.
"No, no, no, you aren't real! I'm hallucinating! Am I hallucinating?" Steve started talking to himself, thinking he was going insane. Eddie walked up to him again, trying to convince him that he was real.
"NO! STOP IT!" Steve yelled as he squeezed his eyes shut.
A low growl was heard from Eddie as he gripped Steve's wrist tightly, his eyes becoming red again. "STEVE, LISTEN TO ME!" He hissed. Steve bit down on his bottom lip as he looked away, his eyes still squeezed shut.
Eddie's grip loosened on his wrist & his facial expression softened, his eyes returning back to brown. "I'm sorry- I just- I'm not used to this." He sighed as he backed away from Steve.
The younger boy looked at Eddie with a sorry look. "Eddie..I- Come here please." Steve randomly said, receiving a confused look from the creature. Eddie hesitated but he walked over to Steve, a little scared.
Steve grazed his fingers over Eddie's hands, his skin more pale than usual. Steve swallowed roughly. "Jesus christ, you are real.." Eddie smiled a little & nodded.
"So, was that SOS signal you..?" Steve randomly asked. Eddie nodded again. "Do you think you could come back with me? I- I missed you. A lot." Steve admitted, tears stinging his eyes again.
Eddie looked over at him, his heart racing. "Yeah, I can. Just- Uhm, give me one second." He asked of Steve. Steve nodded & all of a sudden Eddie went behind a tree, sudden sounds of bones snapping & flesh ringing through his ears.
Steve gagged a little, not being able to handle the sounds. A little bat came waddling out from behind the tree, climbing up Steve's jeans & to his jacket without a warning. Steve was freaking out a little, "Woah, dude! Chill!"
The little bat squeaked at him, a high pitched voice saying, "I know, I look ridiculous." Steve snickered a little. Eddie looked adorable as a little bat. Little bat Eddie climbed into Steve's pocket.
With that, Steve was off to go back. He went through the process of climbing the blanket & brutally falling on his back onto the hard floor again. He pulled down the blanket & untied it, throwing it into Eddie's room, the blanket landing on the stained mattress.
He went into his room & grabbed a few extra clothes for Eddie & some things he knew that Eddie for sure definitely couldn't live without. Steve then sighed, knowing he wasn't gonna be able to put that tarp back up. "Sorry, Wayne." He said to himself as he walked out the trailer & into his car.
The little bat in his pocket peeked his head out, watching the dark roads as Steve drove. Steve pulled up to his big house & Eddie immediately put his head back into the pocket, curling up into a ball comfortably.
Steve walked into his house, Robin & Dustin surprisingly not awake & not chilling in the living room. Steve set down Eddie's clothes onto the kitchen counter.
"Okay, so, Henderson & Robin kinda live with me now. Uhm, we were basically just emotional support for each other. But, I'm serious when I say, nobody can know about you. Not even them." Steve said.
The bat crawled out of Steve's pocket & climbed onto Steve's shoulder. He puffed out his little furry chest, nuzzling his face into Steve's face. Steve giggled a little.
"Come on, idiot. Let's get you cleaned up." Steve smiled. The bat nodded & crawled off of the boy's body, waddling to the bathroom. He squeaked, needing assistance to open the door.
Steve walked over with Eddie's clothes, opening the door & switching on the light. He turned on the water in the bathtub & exited the bathroom for Eddie to transform back.
The disgusting sounds of bones snapping & flesh were heard again. Until, his normal voice said, "I'm ready!" Steve opened the door, a naked Eddie already sitting in the bathtub with a dumb smile on his face.
Steve rolled his eyes & took off his jacket & rolled up the sleeves of his shirt. He just put it on the sink counter & started washing Eddie's long hair.
He even cleaned the blood off & after Eddie's little bath, he had to exit the bathroom & wait for him to have his pants on. Once Eddie did, Steve came back into the bathroom & Eddie was propped up onto the sink counter with Steve's jacket.
Steve disinfected the bat bites on the sides of Eddie's body, which stung a little making Eddie hiss at the pain slightly. Steve then bandaged Eddie gently which all worked out pretty well. "Can you put on my shirt too?" Eddie asked with that stupid childish smile on his face.
"You're such a baby, you know that?" Steve joked as he placed his hands on his hips, doing that, 'mom stand,' he's always had. Eddie stuck out his tongue.
Steve sighed & grabbed Eddie's shirt, slipping it on for him. It was a bit of a struggle since Eddie had wings & he had to rip the shirt to get his wings through. Eddie got off the counter &, 'rewarded,' Steve with a nice kiss on the cheek.
Steve was a bit taken aback & just stood there in the bathroom with wide eyes meanwhile Eddie was going upstairs into Steve's room to sleep.
Did Eddie just kiss him?
