[ Turns out the flirting only intensifies from the girls once Eddie and his charming smile are in the mix, prompting a mild twist of jealousy in the pit of Steve's gut. It's all friendly and light, but he still drops a kiss on a cheek as Eddie is being asked a thousand questions all at once. Steve decides to do the heroic thing and clears his throat. ]
You should all swap numbers, organize a game. Babe, gimme all the bags, I'll go put them in the car and wait for you there if you want to talk.
[ As much as Steve fully intends to steal all of Eddie's attention once alone, he wants him to have a wider social circle than just him or Billy, people who genuinely love his interests and give him that outlet. Steve knows he can't, so this is his best effort otherwise. ]
I'll be right out. [ Eddie offers his phone out to the girls to enter their numbers. The store owner is already asking him to run a night for them. If only so people can get a taste of the old school game, but Eddie isn't opposed to learning the new shit if it really is easier for normies to grab onto.
He doesn't dawdle too much longer. He has a promise to keep with a boy but he promises to text them when he's got a date pinned down. It's a good feeling. Effortless. Like he's back to being kind of the nerds, cocky and charismatic. ]
[ Subtle as a ton of bricks but he's made his mark as such. From the car he watches Eddie making friends, a dopey, pleased smile in place as Steve fondly shakes his head. His own miniature gets placed on the dashboard as he waits.
Once he has him alone in the car, he turns that look on Eddie, pride and want swimming below the surface. ]
[ So many things he could say to that. Sighing, he shakes his head ruefully at the road, shrugging innocently as though only one solution is rearing up as the obvious. ]
Well, I guess you'll just have to have loads of it today.
They've talked. There's no need to be shy or demure about this anymore. Steve knows what he likes. Steve trusts him to not go running off with Billy. Steve clearly, enthusiastically wants him for reasons that aren't just fucking in the shadows. ]
Because I [ He pillows his chin in his hand, grinning wolfishly. ] am very much looking forward to seeing that. Unless you want me begging for yours the first time.
[ About to reply, the words sink in and he clears his throat instead, covering his mouth to hide the way he bites his lip. Focus on the road, stop squirming like it's your first drive to Skull Rock. ]
Yeah, I — no, sure, yeah. Same page. All good. I want — I want it. You. I want you.
[ Raking his hair back, he clears his throat again as he feels Eddie leering in his peripheral and exhales at length. He might speed up a little. ]

Darling, the wonders I'm going to show you.

Oh, yeah? I'll show you some things too.
