Oh, no, the league is very real. Your friends just stop openly mocking you for it.
[ god those hands in his hair are just heaven. ]
You, my love, are a real life action hero. People adore you because somehow, despite all odds, you are simultaneously a hardcore badass and one of the most loving people I've ever met.
[ Steve doesn't have an appropriate response, flattered and flustered as he slides down the bed a little to bury his face in Eddie's neck, fingers in his boyfriend's hair and running over Eddie's hip. He tangles their legs together, seeking and moving, always brushing against him as he nuzzles that neck. ]
[ He raises his head to flop back on the pillows, cupping Eddie's cheek as he stares up at him. Gazes is a better word. Steve's eyes are dark and dilated, huge with the sentiment banked behind his ribs that he can't vocalise. He does his best. ]
I love you. Like I'd do anything to keep you safe. Like you make me want to hit you and kiss you on a daily basis because you're driving me out of my mind, only when you're gone it's worse because then I really can't think about anything but how much I miss you. I'd burn the entire Upside-Down for you, if it would help even a little. Feels like you're not just in my bones but you made them.
[ he's speechless in the way he is whenever he's truly seen. those doe-brown eyes wide, a flush on his pale cheeks. ]
Steve... [ his brain stalls. can't think of a decent response. only able to lean in and kiss him, fingers curling ins his hair, trying to convey sentiment in a way he'll only be able to put to melody later.]
[ The sentiment lands. Steve kisses him back with a smile in place, warm all through, giddy with happiness that makes him shortly make muffled humming noises of approval into their kisses and tickle his way up Eddie's side. He yanks the blankets over their head and playfully attacks his neck with raspberries, nipping in between. ]
[ What follows is half-tussle, half-affection as Steve declares he's going to bite every inch of Eddie under the blanket, not letting him see where each nip is coming from. Dastardly! ]
[ Aha, got him. The slow drag of Steve's mouth is a hot, wet line as he scrapes his teeth under the curve of a pec, soothing the skin there with soft kisses a moment later. His tongue glides over the only remaining nipple Eddie has, circling it delicately as if warding off harm (alas, left nip he knew ye not), his breath pouring over him. ]
[ There are plenty of places in between Eddie's scars to leave kisses and lovebites, nuzzling them all out at his leisure. He has to toss the blankets back over his shoulders so he can breathe but that just gives Eddie a better view, the tickling brush of silky hair fanning out over Eddie's middle as Steve mouths hot kisses across an unblemished patch of skin at the curve of a waist. ]
