A quick sad thread xposted from twt. (modern au, break up)
After Eddie & Steve break up, Steve gets his Eddie tattoo covered up. Eddie still follows Steve on Instagram so he sees the picture of Steve in a jockstrap showing off his new tattoo.
On the most biteable part of Steve’s ass instead of Eddie’s bite mark and name is now a robin. As a tattoo enthusiast, Eddie appreciates the cover work. But as the person who is being removed from Steve’s life in another way, it hurts.
Eddie closes the app. He doesn’t read the caption. He turns off his phone entirely. They broke up six months ago. Eddie shouldn’t be this affected by this. Steve can do whatever the fuck he wants to do.
The worst part, the absolute gut wrenching heartbreaking part is that Eddie’s never going to feel comfortable covering up his Steve tattoo. Because even though he’s not the love of Steve Harrington’s life, Steve is his.
