Steve sees everyone off to college, gets this coaching gig at the middle school that he loves, and gets a place all his own. It's good. He's good. He's great.
The sex ed section of health class is only for a week so he's not teaching anymore and summer baseball got canceled because of construction at the ballpark, but it's fine. He's got a lot of free time.
It's good. It's great. He's fine.
Keith says he can have his old job back at Family Videos during the summer so it's not like he's unemployed. It's fine.
A couple months after moving into his place in Forest Hill, his neighbor knocks on his door. He tells him to come outside and they...just sit there. It's...actually kinda nice.
Sometimes Wayne knocks on the door and asks if he wants to go on a walk, or asks if he wants to help with his old van. Most of the time, they just sit there and smoke.
This is nice.
He tells Robin about Wayne. He says that Wayne is an older guy and he's probably lonely so Steve keeps him company. He says it's nice. He likes it.
Meanwhile Wayne is next door, on the phone with his touring musician nephew telling Eddie that he needs to take this kid on tour with him this summer, "I'm afraid of what he'll do if he's left alone too long."
#Steve falls in love with teaching after teaching sex ed #but he doesbt think he'd get into college if he tried applying again much less get a degree #He's wrong. Eddie's going to spend the summer convincing him of that fact #Steve (basically): I’m being so nice to this lonely old man #meanwhile Wayne is watching this kid the same age as his nephew move through life like he's five seconds from throwing himself off a cliff (via @morganbritton132)
