bigboyvibes | For all those overflow needs

Aw. What would I do without you?

[ Either sleep in the woods or drive his uncle further up the wall, evidently.

Eddie's still all smiles as he locks up the trailer behind him, following Steve out to the car. This part is almost routine, but his heart's in his throat because it means something now, even if he's too scared to say any of it out loud.

He gets in the passenger seat and takes a deep breath, tapping out a rhythm on the center console between them. ]

So - didja pick a place?

You would be so screwed.

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<small<[he>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

You would be so screwed.

<small<[He teases as the two walk towards his vehicle. Steve's heart is still pounding against his chest and his hand aches to reach out for Eddie's own. Is that too much?

Too pathetic?

Once in the car, his heart has yet to calm but he's still smiling like a damn idiot. ]</small>

I did. All day breakfast upon your request.

Honestly? Yeah.

[ It's ridiculous - last night he'd been practically in Steve's lap, yelling in his ear, feeding him fast food from the passenger seat without a care in the world. Now, though? He feels like some blushing virgin on prom night.

But Steve's still smiling, and so is he. So maybe he should just chill the fuck out, already. ]

You really are gonna spoil me.

[ He waits a beat before glancing over at Steve again, brushing his arm with the back of his hand before settling it back on the console. ]

Hey. Um... Thanks. For giving this a shot.

[Steve can't recall the last time he's been this nervous about a goddamn date. Shit, he's never been nervous about a date before but it's also never been with another guy. That isn't it though, it's the fact that Steve really cares for Eddie.

And he doesn't want to lose that bond they formed. It's too rare, too precious. ]

I am.

[He nods with that little grin.]

I wanted to, ya know ?

[ Eddie had thought being around Steve was driving him crazy before all of this, but now he realizes he had no damn idea. Before it had been this pained, guilty sort of longing - like he was doing something sick just by being there.

Now it's been replaced with this nervous excitement that makes it hard to sit still, the potential for what could be giving him butterflies. ]

Well I'm not gonna say no to that.

[ After another pause, he reaches over to squeeze Steve's thigh - just above the knee, and just for a second - before sitting back in his seat, hands clasped in his lap. He's still grinning like a lunatic, but he knows he needs to keep his hands to himself when they're anywhere they could be seen. ]

I'm glad. I'm - really fucking glad.

[Steve has to bite back a moan at the thigh squeeze, the heat in his cheeks only growing hotter. His whole body feels like he's on fire and every inch of him is wanting to be touched, explored.

Again, Steve is a sexual being. That's no secret.

A small smirk forms at that corner of his lips and Steve starts up the car. His hand drops, fingers spreading to lace within Eddie's own. Hand holding is innocent enough, yeah?]

Better back off my biscuits this time, Munson.

And me too.

[ For a second, Eddie wonders if that was a mistake - if he should've just waited. But then Steve's taking his hand, interlocking their fingers, and somehow he manages to smile even bigger than he already had been.

Holding hands. He's been out here acting like he's a real freak, pure heavy-fuckin'-metal, and he's beside himself because Steve Harrington's holding his hand. ]

Oh I'm coming after your biscuits, Harrington. Watch out.

[ With a laugh, Eddie squeezes Steve's hand tight. ]

[Holding Eddie's hand feels natural, complete. It doesn't feel weird, off or wrong. No, their hands lace together like a missing puzzle piece.

It's- perfect. ]

I'll eat all your goddamn bacon, man. Not even kidding.

[Steve challenges but he finds himself laughing softly. He can't remember the last time he's felt this happy, this wanted.

Its a bit overwhelming.]

Oh yeah? Bring it, dude. I'll steal your waffles and go back for seconds.

[ While the absolute rush of being with him like this isn't wearing off, the painfully nervous part of Eddie is starting to settle down. Being around Steve is easy; always has been. It just feels right.

There's a temptation to pull Steve's hand up toward him, to kiss the back of it like some kind of old-timey gentleman. But he'd rather wait until he can kiss him properly, so he lets his gaze drift forward toward the road, buzzing with excitement. ]

This is really - really nice.

Game on, Munson.

[This playful bickering is such a rush and Steve's body feels completely inflamed with lust and desire. He admires how Eddie can give it right back, tease him and most importantly, he doesn't judge Steve.

He doesn't want King Steve, doesn't expect Steve to be the person he once was. ]

It is. What do you want to do after you stuff your face?

Well...

[ Eddie traces circles over Steve's hand with his thumb, feeling a flush building over his cheeks. What'd he say to Steve about the whole putting out thing? That it was all about the vibes?

He chuckles softly, biting his bottom lip. ]

Not gonna lie, dude. When you showed up I kinda forgot all about food for a sec, 'cause I really, really wanted to kiss you. Touch you.

[ He squeezes Steve's hand again. ]

But -- no rush. I'm, uh, open to ideas.

Yeah?

[Steve turns his head slightly in surprise. He didn't want to assume that Eddie might possibly want to full around because again, Steve doesn't want to press or rush this relationship blossoming between them. ]

I was afraid that might be rushing things? I don't want to scare you off on the first date.

Yeah! Of course, yeah. Dude -

[ Eddie drags his free hand over his face, laughing and shaking his head. ]

I thought - I didn't wanna scare you off! You were complaining about girls only wanting you for your dick, and like, I dunno... I didn't wanna make you feel that way.

[ He looks down at their intertwined hands, gets another one of those goofy grins. ]

But I meant it when I told you you're really fucking hot.

I didn't want you to assume that's all I about!

[The whole sex on the first night thing. Sure, Steve sure as hell doesn't complain when his date puts out on the first night but it isn't a requirement for Steve to call them back.

He doesn't want Eddie thinking that either. ]

I know I am.

I wouldn't have! C'mon. I know you.

[ Eddie's gaze turns to Steve again, eager to study his eyes, his lips. It's hard not to want to just tell him to turn the car around so he can drag him into his bedroom. ]

Wow! And so modest. Dick.

[ He's laughing, though. ]

What I don't know is how I'm supposed to sit through a whole meal first now that I know all of that.

I just really don't want to screw all of this up, ya know? Us? I don't want to lose anything we have or to lose you.

[God. Is that too sappy as hell? Steve wants to be as honest going into this. No secrets. ]

I can stop the car you know?

You're not losing me. Trust me. I'm not going anywhere.

[ It feels so corny, but he really does mean every word. Long before he'd spilled all of his feelings out, Steve's been one of the best things that's happened to him in a long time. If Steve hadn't felt the same way he did, he would've gotten over it eventually. It'd be worth suffering through. ]

I mean, we could always order a pizza later. I'm not actually that hungry...

I hope not.

[Steve doesn't want to lose more people. He's lost Nancy and eventually Robin will want to go off to college. Same with those little assholes. Steve isn't going to be needed anymore.

Wanted and that's terrifying. ]

We could.....

Steve...

[ Eddie lets go of Steve's hand, only so he can lay his own on Steve's thigh one more time. He tilts his head to the side, looking up at him through his eyelashes. ]

Tell me what you want. 'Cause -- I want you, and... We've only got a few hours of privacy at my place.

[Christ, if Eddie keeps touching him like this Steve is going to lose his damn mind. He curses his body for being so sensitive, for being so responsive to touch.

And he's trapped dick is starting to grow hard and aching.]

...You won't regret it later, right?

Why would I ask you if I thought I'd regret it later?

[ Eddie's tongue flicks out over his lips, still watching Steve intently. He's never felt so needy so quickly, so eager to explore and touch. Then again, has anyone as perfect as Steve wanted him like this before? He traces one of the seams on Steve's jeans with his fingertip, leaning in a little closer to him. ]

It's not like I don't already know I really, really like you.

It's normal to worry about that kinda thing, okay?

[Because in the back of his mind he knows he was most likely a regret to Nancy. Shit, probably other girls too.

And now here Eddie Munson is looking at him with such want and desire. Shit, touch him already.

Lips inches apart. ]

I wouldn't have guessed.

Sure. I'm just telling you that you really don't have to. Not with me.

[ It dawns on him that they're just staring each other down, the car slowed to a stop. So close, but what if someone sees them? This town is too damn small to get caught like this, and that'll really scare Steve away. ]

Steve -- if you don't want me to kiss you right here and now, I'm gonna need you to take us somewhere where I can.

...Please?

Back to your place?

[Although, Steve knows of a few private spots that go and enjoy each other's company. He wants Eddie to be comfortable, he wants him to feel safe.

That's if Steve doesn't break first. ]

Unless you've got any better ideas - yeah.

[ So they're seriously doing this. Eddie's nervous all over again, biting his bottom lip but not moving his hand from Steve's thigh. It's almost like he's scared if he stops touching him, he might change his mind. ]

We could always drive the van out somewhere quiet later tonight, too.

[ He chuckles. ]

If you're not totally sick of me by then.

OBSESSED w/ how badly they want each other but are scared of scaring the other off. AAAAAAH!!!
