"I wish that he was a girl, Munson."

"Oh.."

Steve sighed, hugging his arms as he sat there in silence. Eddie felt really bad for him. "So..you like a guy?" The vampire asked, receiving a nod from the other.

"But- I don't know! I can't tell if I actually like him or not." Steve replied. Eddie scooted a little closer to him. "I understand. It's really hard to accept your feelings. Especially when it's another dude."

Steve looked at Eddie, tears streaming down his face. Eddie's heart shattered into pieces seeing him like this. "I feel like I'm going crazy, man.." Steve admitted.

Eddie slightly moved his hands towards Steve & gave him a look that said, 'can I?' Steve nodded & Eddie pulled him into a nice & warm hug.

The younger boy leaned into the metal head's touch, crying it all out. "I'm a fag, Munson." Steve said, his voice shaky & weak. Eddie pulled away & looked at him.

"What? Don't say that! You're not that awful word at all, man." Eddie said, caressing the other's cheek. Steve shook his head, his bottom lip quivering.

Steve sighed. "You know it's the truth, Eddie." Eddie shook his head as Steve leaned into his touch once more. Steve closed his eyes & pursed his lips, crying a little more.

"It's not the truth at all." Eddie quietly reassured him, pulling him into another hug. But, Steve left his arms quickly & stood up. "Don't- Don't touch me, please."

Eddie nodded & kept his hands to himself. "Okay, if that's what you want. Just let me know if I'm going too far with anything, okay?" Steve didn't say anything.

"Why do you even talk to me..?" Steve randomly asked. "I treated you like shit back then." Eddie looked up at him with a worried look. Why was he acting like this?

"Because you're a better person now. I think you're a great dude, Steve." Eddie explained. The younger boy's heart fluttered at his words, but he gripped his chest, thinking it was wrong to feel this way.

The younger boy shook his head. "Steve, come on.." Eddie said. Steve was getting frustrated. Like- really frustrated. He decided to push his feelings down & push Eddie away.

He thought that it would make everything better. That he would lose his feelings for Eddie. "Just leave me alone, Munson. Please." Eddie's facial expression softened.

"What?"

"I said leave me alone. You're just- you're annoying & you're pissing me off right now." Steve spit. He felt guilty for being such a douche to him, but he thought that he needed this to lose his feelings for Eddie. But, it would only make things worse.

"Annoying..? Are you serious?"

"Yes, annoying & I'm serious! Get the fuck out of my room!" Steve raised his voice a little, Eddie's wings lowering a bit. "Oh. Okay," was all Eddie said.

The metal head left the room & slammed the door closed behind him, storming downstairs. Steve sighed & his back slid down against the wall, sitting down on the floor.

Steve absolutely broke down into tears, quietly sobbing in his room all alone for a long time. Steve was gripping his arms, feeling guilty for treating him like that.

He was crying over his death not too long ago & figured out he was alive. Now he's treating him like this? He felt so awful.

Steve came out of his room after a few minutes, wiping the tears that soaked his face. He walked down the hall & downstairs, calling out the vampire's name.

"Eddie? Man, I'm sorry! I was being a douche like back then & I never meant any of that!" There was no response. He searched every room but he wasn't there.

He definitely fucked up.

He came back to life just for Steve to treat him like this, huh? Steve started running around the house, double checking rooms & extra rooms too.

Steve checked outside, in his pool, at his basketball court, just anywhere. But, Eddie was nowhere to be found. Steve started to panic.

He quickly went outside into the front yard & started walking around the neighborhood. He was willing to do the most to find him.

Steve knew what he did wasn't right. He never should've done that. He thought that maybe he'd have to accept his feelings at some point. Which of course, he did.

Eddie was nowhere to be found. Steve decided to go to Dustin's house as well. He walked to his front door, passing by the well kept flowers.

Steve knocked on the door. No response. He rang the doorbell & knocked again. No response. Steve felt hopeless at this point. Though, Dustin's bike was here & his mom's car was parked on the driveway. So, where was he?

The door suddenly opened, the curly haired boy looking up at him. He looked exhausted. "Steve, what are you doing here?" Dustin asked.

Steve then realized a little too late that Dustin didn't know Eddie was alive. "Can I come in?" Steve asked, picking at his fingers, his eyes darting around.

Dustin moved out of the way to let him in & Steve stepped inside. He started walking around, searching rooms & everything. "Woah, what the hell! What's going on?!" Dustin asked, panicked.

"I'm just trying to find something. Or- someone. I thought he might be here." Steve said. That definitely didn't explain anything. Dustin furrowed his eyebrows, following Steve around the house.

Dustin kept asking too many questions, stressing Steve out a lot. Eddie wasn't there though. Steve sighed & rubbed his face in frustration as he walked into Dustin's living room.

He flopped down onto the couch, tears stinging his eyes. "I fucked up!" Steve cried out into his hands. Dustin was extremely confused & sat down next to him.

Steve sighed as his hands fell down onto his lap. "Eddie, he's-" Steve paused, pursing his lips before continuing. "He's alive & we had an argument earlier."

Dustin's eyes widened. "What? He's alive? He literally died in my arms." Steve nodded. "I know! Both of us don't even know how he's alive."

"Well, you better find him because everyone still thinks he's a murder. He's still wanted & you better apologize." Dustin said, making Steve scowl at him.

"You think I'm not gonna apologize?" Steve scoffed. Dustin rolled his eyes. "Just- Come on, let's get busy & find him." The older boy nodded & raked his fingers through his hair. "Okay, okay!"

Now all he had to do was make it up to Eddie.
