[ Eddie freezes when Steve offers him his home to stay in, at least until they get all of this sorted out. On the one hand, it would be really nice to have a place to stay that wasn't as cramped as the trailer, but --
It's Steve's home. Living with Steve, having that temptation dangling over his face? Maybe the house would be big enough that they wouldn't be living on top of each other, but his senses are sharper, and Eddie would always be able to sense him. It feels dangerous.
On the other hand, Steve always seems so damn lonely there. Maybe he needs the company just as much as Eddie does.
He places his hand over Steve's on his shoulder, and Steve's hand feels so much warmer than Eddie's, yet another reminder of what Eddie has become. ]
Maybe, um. As a trial run? But if anything goes wrong, the first sign of trouble, we find another place. I'm not putting you in danger, man.
