[heatmetal]

I expect tickets to concerts.

[camarod]

you wanna make out with me in a pit that bad?

[heatmetal]

FUCK yes.

[camarod]

i’ll think about it

[heatmetal]

But for real, man, I'm glad.
Honestly kinda surprised.

[camarod]

he kissed my cheek dude
what the fuck

[heatmetal]

Yeah, our conversation didn't leave me thinking he was ready to jump in feet first.
Though, saying that - we're gonna need to be sure to include him a little more. I guess we're an "intimidating gang of two".

[camarod]

i think we scared him with the why would i fuck my best friend shit
but in our defence
we’re morons

but yeah
it’ll be nice to have back up when i’m getting you to lift
:)

[heatmetal]

Oh, I didn't wanna fuck you until I realized you're madly in love with me.

At this rate I'm gonna have you hovering over me and Steve and Chrissy doing a goddamn cheer routine.

[camarod]

i’ll pretend you didn’t just insult me and my abs

great idea, they’ll love that

[heatmetal]

No no, don't get me wrong. You're fuckable. Completely so. But I, personally, did not want to climb you like a fucking jungle gym until you started bitching about Boromir getting done dirty.

[camarod]

okay but i was right about that to be clear

i’m reading terry pratchett btw

[heatmetal]

Oh, talk nerdy to me baby.

[camarod]

after i woo your boyfriend big guy
maybe we’ll both talk nerdy

[heatmetal]

I should be deeply ashamed of how erotic that is for me.

[camarod]

you wanna watch us argue about lore baby?

[heatmetal]

God yes.
Like all the other sexy relationship shit, but.
Mostly that.

much MUCH later.

[ After returning from helping Billy moves his bags and spending an evening watching romcoms with Robin (wildly in debate about whether she should dye their hair or shake up her style to get her a girlfriend) Steve enters his and Eddie's bedroom late, pulling off his shirt as he closes the door on his heels. He yawns, toeing off his socks, and starts stripping into his comfy slacks. ]

Hey, you. Glad I didn't have to wake you up.

[heatmetal]

Mm... I think you've got some explaining to do, Mr. Harrington.

[ he's in bed, but no longer sleeping. The nap had been short, but just a prelude to a proper sleep beside his boyfriend for the first time in a few nights. The prosthetic leg off and resting at its place by the night table, a sure sign that he'd actually relaxed and not feigning it. ]

[retromix]

[ He gives a pointed look to Eddie's phone, shucking off his jeans and underwear in one go and replacing them with soft cotton. ]

Sure you haven't already had a juicy update?

[ He climbs into bed beside him, flopping on his back. ]

[heatmetal]

Guilty. He immediately texted me like a schoolgirl who'd just been noticed by their crush.

[ he rolls over, tucking himself to Steve's side. ]

Buuuuut... I want to hear it from you. And talk it out, so I know exactly where your head is at. [ he walks his fingers along Steve's chest, punctuating head with carding his fingers through his lovely touseled hair. ]

[retromix]

[ His arm comes around Eddie's shoulders, playing with his long hair. ]

There's not much to say. Since you're okay with me flirting with another guy I told him the truth about him being the first man I've been attracted to, outside my relationship with you. If you're okay with me exploring what that means, I'm okay with it. I would never have done anything without you asking me that stuff over lunch.

[ His chin digs in gently at Eddie's crown, rubbing back and forth. ]

I don't want this to turn into cheating on you.
