Thereâs a moment of shock that flickers through Eddie so quickly that it nearly robs him of breath. He stops in his tracks, brown hues wide and almost doe like at the admission. Surely there was something wrong with his ears. There was no way. No way that someone of Steve Harringtonâs caliber could like HIM. This had to be a dream or Eddie needed his hearing checked.
âDid- Did you just say you love me?â Eddieâs voice nearly squeaks as he gets the words out, needing to make sure that he had indeed heard correctly.
Steve looks at Eddie not realizing what he just said for a minute. When he did he blushes and quickly looks away from him as he nods his head "Yeah, and I mean it. I was going to tell you after all this shit was over and we had time to process but as usual I fucked up and just did it. I guess you probably hate me now or something and that's okay but it doesn't change the fact that I love you." He sighs, running a hand through his hair as he looks at the grass beneath his feet. It had been raining a bit and it still had droplets of water on it. Steve so didn't want to look up that he traced them with his eyes as the silence goes on.
Steve then glances up through his lashes at Eddie and smiles softly at him "I mean what about you isn't there to love Munson? You're cute, the kids love you, and as I hear it you make a pretty good DM so what's not to love." He walks over to him then putting a hand on his shoulder "It shouldn't be so groundbreaking that someone loves you Eddie."
