[ if he's honest, Eddie had been pulling on his jacket the second Steve admitted that he wanted him to come over. Eddie may act like he doesn't like doing anything that people tell him to, but when it's confirmation of something he'd spent most of the evening trying to get out of Steve? he'll break his own rules. ten minutes had been a generous estimate of how long it would take Eddie to get to the Harrington house, given that he drives like a demon even for the calmest of errands. tonight is not that, and he parks at the curb in record time of seven minutes. it gives him a moment to check himself in the somewhat blurry rearview mirror of his van, thanking whatever cruel gods might be out there for the fact that he'd showered after waking up that morning so that he looks and smell presentable.
hopping out of the driver's side and closing the door with uncharacteristic quietness, Eddie practically sprints up to the front of Steve's house. he doesn't want to draw unnecessary attention, certain that the neighbors will narc on Steve if they suspect anything, and that would definitely get in the way of... whatever's about to happen. so he lets himself in through the front door that's unlocked just like Steve promised, looks around with a slightly gaping mouth, and then makes his way farther inside. ]
