Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore.

I Knew I Needed You, But I Never Showed.

March 2nd 

"Okay but if you had to pick"

"You're asking me to pick between what is considered the original metal band and one of the biggest?"

"Would Sabbath not be the biggest as they're the original?"

"No, I'd say they're on an even standing with Metallica, but that doesn't mean I can pick"

"Life or death situation, gun to your head, gotta pick. One's gotta go"

"Why do I have to do this?"

"I'm just asking"

Eddie rolled his eyes and flipped steaks on the grill.

"Metallica can go"

"Traitor!"

"Sabbath are just... well they're Black Sabbath" He says, waving the tongs in Gareth's face.

"What are you two squabbling about now?" Robin appears through the door, clipboard in hand and a bag slung over her shoulder.

"Gun to your head, can only pick one, Metallica or Black Sabbath"

"Metallica"

"See!"

"Traitor!" Gareth wails for a second time.

"Sabbath are just... like the OG's y'know?" Robin says.

"Wouldn't have pegged you for a Sabbath fan" Eddie says.

"Oh I'm not, but one of my roommates in college was like a diehard fan. Worshipped Ozzy"

"Smart lady" Eddie chuckled and began plating the steaks before ringing the service bell.

The door opened again and Steve and Chrissy appeared, rapidly signing to each other, Steve was all smiles and Chrissy was giggling at something he'd said. Eddie tried to ignore the twitch of jealousy in his throat. He didn't want to be jealous of her, it felt so stupid to be jealous of someone because they could do something he couldn't. But it was because it was Steve, she was able to talk to Steve in a way he couldn't understand and whilst he was trying his hardest to learn he knew that it was gonna take some time before he was ever able to be at that level.

But then Steve's eyes turn to him and his smile gets even wider and Eddie's forgotten all about being jealous because that smile is for him. Eddie and Eddie only.

"Hey you" Steve says softly across the gantry as he takes three of the plates, balancing them between his arm and hands, Chrissy follows suit and follows him out of the door.

"You're down bad" Gareth laughs "Wish you could see your face right now"

"Oh come on have you seen Steve" Robin laughs.

"Robin aren't you a lebsian?" He asks.

"I am, well done Gare-bare, but that doesn't mean I don't have eyes and I don't see how half of the population young and old look at Steve when he enters the room" She laughed even more at Eddie's expression when she said that "Alright Mr 'don't touch my man or I'll kill you'"

"Not you I was worried about" He mumbles and busies himself, trying to ignore the conversation. He felt a little embarrassed, normally he was the cool one, the one that everyone knew didn't give a shit. But with Steve, Steve made him stupid. So catatonically stupid that he didn't know how to even put one foot in front of the other sometimes and it should be worrying because they hadn't even known eachother a month yet, but he didn't really care.
