steve would pull all his usual moves with eddie, but eddie (either obliviously or intentionally) doesn't pick up on them. what i mean is, steve does that thing like 'there's something in your hair, let me-" and he reaches out to tenderly remove the Thing and then maybe brush eddie's hair behind his ear, but before he can get his hand up eddie is already shaking his head like a wet dog to get the Thing out of his hair, whipping both steve and himself with his hair in the process and he's like 'is it gone?' and steve's like, hand-mid air, absolutely perplexed but deep down, unsurprised, 'yeah. yeah, you got it'
