Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore.

Won't You Hold My Hand And Stay Awhile?

June 12th

"Eddie! Baby come quick!"

"Mmm, Stevie what-" Eddie rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, disorientated and a little confused.

"Come see!"

"Baby it's like seven in the morning why are you-"

"Eddie!"

"Alright, alright" He huffed and threw the blankets off, stumbling a little he headed through their apartment to the kitchen to find Steve standing by the window. "Baby what is so important that you had to get me out of bed at seven AM on our day off? Are you okay? You're not hurt? What do you need me to-"

"Shh! Be quiet, look!" He grabbed Eddie's wrist and tugged him closer to the window to show him what he was looking at. Eddie peered over his shoulder, arms curling around Steve's waist. In the window box where Steve had planted lavender earlier in the year, there were three squirrels all curled up together, fast asleep.

"Awh" Eddie smiled a little bit, Steve was grinning as he pressed himself back against Eddie's chest "Okay that is adorable"

"See I told you" He smiled and turned a little in Eddie's arms "Sorry for waking you up so early, I just got excited, didn't know how long they'd be there for"

"It's okay baby" Eddie smiled and placed a gentle kiss to the end of Steve's nose, he wrinkled it in response and made a face "Can we go back to bed now though?" He says nosing along Steve's jaw.

"You can, I've been awake for a while, not really tired"

"What time did you wake up?"

"Like an hour ago" He shrugged, Steve was more of a morning person and once he was up, he was up, Eddie however was not and felt like he could do with a couple more hours of shut eye before facing the day.

"Why don't you come back to bed and snuggle with me while I sleep? You can work from your laptop, no?"

"Yeah, but I know what will happen and I won't end up doing any work" He gives Eddie a look.

"I'll keep it in my pants I promise, just like having you close to me"

"I don't believe you at all, but fine"

Eddie grinned against Steve's neck and tugged him gently back into their bedroom, he pulls the duvet back and climbs into bed, humming happily when Steve gets in next to him and gets comfortable, opening his laptop he started tapping away on the keyboard.

Eddie hummed and tried his best to curl into his side, they ended up with the laptop shoved almost onto Steve's knees, Eddie's face pressed against his stomach whilst Steve tried his best to work at the awkward angle.

He huffed.

"Baby, this is not as comfortable as you think it is"

"Hmm I'm comfy" He nuzzles his face against Steve's shirt who sighs and closes the laptop. "Didn't mean for you to stop"

"Yeah but I can't work like this" He chuckles, petting Eddie's hair gently who sighs and leans into the touch.

"Don't get up" Eddie mumbles, face buried in Steve's shirt.

"I have stuff to do" Steve said gently, a small smile on his face. "Who'd have thought you'd be the needy one in this relationship" Steve chuckles.

Eddie made a noise of annoyance in response, huffed and pulled away from Steve, he flops onto his back and crosses his arms.

"Oh come on don't be like that" Steve tries not to smile, he had gotten used to Eddie's minor sulks when he didn't get his way, it was kind of endearing and he knew he was never actually upset.
