Enemies to Lovers // Steddie

Chapter 18

It was the end of the school day, Steve had work so Eddie was alone in his trailer like old times. He kept thinking about what would've happened about Steve's dad if Eddie and Steve never met, he started crying at his thoughts laying down on the bed. Eddies eye caught a knife in the far end of his room, Eddie looked at the time and he couldn't bring himself to get off the bed. Eddie got up and picked up the knife looking back at the knife then at his left wrist.

"Fuck it." Eddie whispered and drew a deep cut right on his vein. He winced in pain whilst putting another cut right above the other one, so much blood was drawing a lot of blood when he heard the door of his trailer open a shut. There was a faint voice to be heard, "Eddie...?" Steve has just walked through the door but Eddie has already fainted from the loss of blood.

Steve rushed into the bedroom to find Eddie on the floor with blood pouring out his wrist, "Fuck Eddie." Steve whispered picking up Eddie and bringing him to the bathroom sitting him up on the floor against the bathtub. He rummaged through to medical cabinet for rubbing alcohol and bandages.

Steve grabbed some tissue and put the rubbing alcohol on it, cleaning up Eddies wounds. Eddie woke up as Steve was putting on the bandages, "Ow!" Eddie hissed, "Stop being a baby." Steve continued wrapping the tissue around his wrist, "Shut it." Eddie growled, "Oooo scary." Steve said sarcastically. "What's made you so confident this fine evening mister?" Eddie tilted his head whilst asking the question, "Me always having to save you." Steve sighed.

"Steve...?" Eddie looked down sad, "Yeah Eds?" Steve replied. "If we never met, me and you wouldn't have got hurt by your dad." Eddies eyes were stinging with tears but he couldn't hold it much longer and began sobbing. "I'm so sorry Steve, you've been hurt so much because of me." Eddie confessed still sobbing. "It's okay Eds..." Steve got cut off, "No it's not, you are always getting hurt because of me." Eddie stood up and walked out of the bathroom as Steve was calling out, "Where are you going?" Eddie ignored him and carried on walking until he got outside of the trailer.

He walked into the woods and into an abandoned shed still crying, he stood in front of a dusty mirror and took off his shirt to look at all his wounds. He looked at his back then his stomach and then his face. "I can't do this anymore." Eddie was still sobbing.

Steve walked out of the front door to look for Eddie, "Eddie!?" He shouted out into the woods, he walked into the woods and followed a trail that led to the abandoned shed, "Eddie?" Steve said softly walking into the shed to see Eddie at the mirror examining his body with teary eyes, "Eddie!" Steve screamed out running towards Eddie and giving him a hug, "Please don't ever do that again." Steve whispered into his ear at the verge of tears. Steve sat down on the floor and Eddie sat on his lap.

"I'm sorry Steve." Eddies eyes were red, "You have nothing to be sorry for, if anything I should be apologising. I was the one who got you involved with my dad." Steve rambled on but Eddie kissed him to shut him up, when he pulled away Eddie sighed, "God, shut up Harrington." Steve smiled and kissed him again it was long and passionate. "God I fucking love you." Steve whispered, "I love you too." Eddie smiled and kissed his forehead.

They stood up and made their way back to the trailer, they sat down on the couch watching tv eating pizza. Steve wanted to have fun and moved his leg to be on top of Eddies leg, Eddie looked over at Steve who had a smug smile on his face. That smile soon disappeared when he felt Eddies hand creep down to Steve's thigh, slowly moving his hand up to Steve's throbbing bulge. Eddie had a smirk on his face whilst looking at Steve's bright red face, Eddie removed his hand and continued watching the tv. Steve was mad that Eddie had stopped, "You still have your offer from earlier." Steve whispered in his ear and Eddies face lit up with red glow.

"Oh I know, but I just want to tease you a little bit more." Eddie chuckled, "Daddy Eddie." Steve whispered which almost made Eddie break but he held his ground and continued watching the tv. "Nice tactic Stevie." Eddie whispered and Steve scoffed.
