Makes me go

Eddie says that Steve has turned over a new leaf but Wayne thinks the kid is rude. He’s over at their house all the time and ignores Wayne half the time when he’s talking to him. Kid is eating the food out of his kitchen and can’t even give him the time of day?

He mentions it to Eddie once when Steve wasn’t around and Eddie, around a mouthful of Frosted Flakes, asks, “Did he have his hearing aids in?”

“What?”

“Yeah, he hates ‘em so he never wears them,” Eddie shrugs. “Can’t hear for shit without ‘em though.”

Well.

Steve blinks at him so Wayne adds, “Come on. Out of bed. Day ain’t gettin’ any younger.”

Steve blinks again and Wayne thinks about maybe trying the signs Eddie taught him but every time he does, it seems to confuse Steve more.

Steve starts moving before he has to decide what to do so Wayne goes back to the kitchen, muttering to himself about lazy kids and hangovers. He can hear Steve drag himself into the room and when he looks over at him, the boy has a general air of misery about him.

Yeah, a hangover will do that.

He’s pouring tomato soup into a bowl when Eddie comes in from outside like, “Steve, what are you doing? Go back to bed. You have a migraine.”

And, well.
