Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore.

Everyone's Telling Me That He Was Born As A Love Child.

February 23rd 

"Stevieeee"

"What do you want?" Steve rolls his eyes, but can't help the smile threatening to make its way onto his face. He's not looking up, he knows that tone.

"What are you doing tomorrow night?"

"Working"

"But it's Saturday"

"And?"

"Do you ever get weekends off?"

"Sometimes"

"Don't you do the schedules?"

"Yes"

"So why not... I dunno, give yourself a weekend off?" Eddie comes and sits on the desk beside Steve who is currently doing the schedule for three weeks time.

"Because it's our busiest time and Alex needs me"

"Yeah but you're no good to him if you're completely burnt out princess" Eddie taps the end of his nose and Steve goes a little cross eyed.

"Why do you want to know what I'm doing anyway?" He turns his gaze back to the computer.

"Cos' I wanna take you on a proper date"

"A proper date?" He glances at Eddie.

"Yeah" He grins, flashing his dimples.

"You're awful patient if you're willing to wait for me to have a weekend off because it is a rarity"

"Doesn't need to be a weekend, just maybe... give us the same day off at some point soon so we can go out together?"

"How's Tuesday? They're usually pretty quiet-- Eddie? Eddie what're you..." Steve can't help but giggle as Eddie start's playing with Steve's tie, tugging him closer so that he's between Eddie's legs while he sits on the desk and Steve's on the wheely chair "Eddie stop it! If Alex or anyone else ever looks at the CCTV for this fucking office they're just gonna see the two of us doing things we shouldn't on...Eddie!" Steve shoves Eddie away who's laughing but trying his best to keep ahold of Steve. "Can you please be serious for one minute. You asked me when I had a day off next"

"I know, but you're so pretty"

"Eddie"

"Alright, alright. Tuesday, next Tuesday?"

"Yeah I think we're both off" He flicks back a few pages to this week's rota to see that they are both indeed, not scheduled to work. " Tuesday okay?" Eddie slides off the desk and comes to stand behind Steve, wrapping his arms around Steve's shoulders.

"Tuesday's perfect" he kisses Steve softly on the cheek.

"You smell like parsnips" Steve says absentmindedly.

"Probably because I was peeling parsnips" Eddie chuckled and kissed the top of Steve's head. "Can I show you something though?"

"What?" Steve turns to look at him side on. Eddie reaches forward and grabs the mouse, clicking through to the rota in three weeks time. He changes the bit next to Steve's name to show he was not scheduled for the entire weekend. "Eddie! You can't just--"

"Shh" He kisses him softly, effectively silencing him "You need time off too baby"

"I know but-"

"No buts. You need it, you deserve it"

"But-"

"Stevie" Eddie said firmly, Steve sighed and shoulders slumped a little in defeat. "I'm gonna make it the best weekend off for you anyway"
