where his mother didn’t comfort him when he cried or scraped his knee, where his dad told him to man up.

he carried that shitty mindset into adulthood, he was strong, he didn’t talk about that uncomfortable weight on his chest, he didn’t cry about the ache in his throat or the pounding in his skull. Steve was a man after all.

at first he doesn’t like Eddie, the guy talks about everything, every thought in his head, even the unpleasant ones. What kind of guy tells people about those things? Why did Steve feel a tug in his gut when he heard Eddie complain? Why did a part of him want to fix it all?

and why did he start crying on that late night in eddies van when he turned to him, stopping his constant talking for once, to ask if Steve was alright?

oh wait what are my hands doing-

I think Eddie is the total opposite and thinks it's kinda hot when people flirt with Steve, because, Steve is hot and a part of Eddie is kinda glad everyone knows it. They can flirt, but at the end of the day, Eddie had Steve. The thought of other people wanting Steve just made Eddie feel hot under the collar, not defensive like Steve did.
