Chapter Text
I opened my eyes at 10 am. The dim summer light coming into my room. It's to ealy for me, i turned to my side and something slipped out of my bed. A tired screech was heard and when i looked to the ground i saw the little bat on the floor, wings flat and his butt still supported by my sheets .
"what are you doing"
"screech!" i laughed and took it back into my bed. He looked at me, with his tired little eyes, judging me pretty hard. "hey not my fault, you are supposed to stay where i put you not anywhere else." he climb down my bed and goes to the cover i left for him.
Tyro got up, far to awake to go back to sleep, and goes to the kitchen. Eddie saw them and ran to climb up their leg and back, going for their shoulder. There he rested his head on their's, closing his eyes and almost falling asleep again. "hi sweetheart how was your night?"
"it was great mom - tyro said while sitting down on a chair - can i go to steve's place today all of my friends are gonna be there"
"okay but you clean your room when you got home and let me know when do you got home i'm gonna have a long day of work but i can promise that i'll be there for our night film with your father"
"While we talk of him, were is he? "
" he's still in bed, he start working later in the morning" eddie wake up from the sound of plates and from the discussion around him. He looked around a little before nuzzling his head into tyro's hair. Their mother laughed at the sign. "you seem to have a talents with the animals. I remember when we had a dog you used to cuddle him to sleep and all. Even one day i found you taking a shower with him - OKAY Mom thanks you for the reminder i'm gonna go prepare myself now"
Tyro took eddie down and gave him the rest of their breakfast while they are going to take a good shower. Eddie looked at tyro's mother, just to be sure he can eat the rest. " go on you can eat it." and with that eddie had his head inside of the plate, eating like he didn't for days.

"dustin go open the door please it must be tyro" steve said on the other side of the house. It was effectively tyro and a bat. "what is that. It's what you wanted to show us?"
"yeah i still didn't name him so if you wanna help me" tyro respond looking at the little bat, again, sleeping in their hair. Dustin let them in, going to search for steve. "hey little guy" they said, gently poking the side of the bat. Eddie squirmed a little, almost falling in the process.
Eddie opened his eyes to the most perfect vision in his life. Steve in a fucking slim jean and with a tight blue tee shirt. Every muscle was visible and eddie can also see a little bit of steve's chest hair sticking out. "what is that? again" steve asked looking at eddie. "this is what i wanted to bring. Well more exactly i didn't wanted him to be alone in my room with my mouse so i bring him with me". Steve rolled his eyes. "i hope you bring a swimsuit because i'm not gonna gave you one"
"who do you think i am, of course i have a swimsuit with me" during this time, eddie couldn't keep his eyes away from Steve's chest, if he was a human we could probably see him drooling at the sign. He snapped away of his trance when dustin picked him up. He looked at the kid and jumped on him giving the best hug he can give with his wings. "i think he likes you dustin". Eddie felt tears leaving his eyes as he hugged his younger best friends.
Every one was in the pool except steve and eddie. Steve because he's still healing from the upside-down and eddie, well because he was hurt to and because he was too short. Eddie was laying on steve's lap, he was there since steve first lay on the long chair, being pet by him. Not gonna lie steve loved this little bat. Eddie didn't left his side, not even one second.
Steve smiled softly when eddie fall asleep again. His soft little snore where a little perseptible since the kids were practically screaming while they play.
It was good to see dustin play and laughs , it was already two months since he have see that smile for the last time and he missed it. "eddie would have loved this" steve mumble, more to himself. Eddie's left ear twitch at the mention of his name. Steve saw this. "sorry if woke you up there, i was thinking of something ." eddie got up and sat down looking straight at steve. "what?" eddie didn't even Blink.
"steve what did you do to my bat?" tyro said, coming towards him. "i didn't do anything i was thinking about something and all of the sudden he sat up and started to look directly at my soul"
"and what did you think about?" tyro asked with a smudge look.
"stop that you starting to sound like eddie" eddie moved around at the name, catching the attention of steve and tyro. "look like he love the name"
"do you think he was adopted before?"
"i dunno he just crashed at my door last night and he just sticks around me, so probably"
" does he have a name or something"
"Nan I didn't have any good idea and he didn't have a collar or something "
"what about eddie" steve propose, getting tyro's attention. " after all why not but i think it's gonna take some times for him to learn his name but okay let's go for eddie". Eddie turn and jump out of joy. "hey eddie" he instantly turned his head, happily ran to tyro with his little legs and literally jumping on them. "i didn't expect that" steve looked as shocked as tyro, while eddie rubbed his face on their legs. "well he definitely was adopted before"

Not gonna lie, being on someone's lap is not bad, well not for eddie. Especially when the someone is steve harrington. Soon after tyro "gave" him the name eddie, he sat back down on steve's lap and was being gently scratched by him. If he could he would purr. While he was in this pur bless, he thought of how to tell the other he's well him. He could try and write it on a piece of paper, or he could do what he does the best and what make eddie eddie. He will try to do the paper things later for now he will take profit from this situation.

I called my mom when i got home like i said i would. And then, as i promise, i go do my room. Eddie's wings look a little bit better, he can move it a little more than yesterday.
When i was organizing my closet, i found an old picture. Me and eddie at the end of our last concert before the recent event. This time we did the final countdown. We learn the song in 2 weeks a record for us all . I was singing. We looked so happy, i remember it was eddie's uncle who took the picture. The next concert, we were supposed to do a makeover version of master of puppet but i don't know if we will actually do this.
I felt some tears leaving my eyes. We were so fucking happy and now i will never see him again. I tried to stop crying but I couldn't. I just cried more, breaking down while watching this picture.
Eddie came running into the room at the sound of tyro crying. He tried to fly but couldn't and just ran to them. He looked at the picture on the floor. Oh. He hugged tyro's leg, he felt himself tearing to. Then he remembered the plan he wanted to try out. He quickly got up and climb up the chair, on the table he took a pencil and a piece of paper and he climb down.
He hit his head on tyro's legs. They look up to eddie, a little confused. "what are you doing there?" they asked, while sniffing. Eddie took the pencil in his mouth and start writing, well the best he can do, tyro just look at eddie even more confuse.
When eddie finished he took the piece of paper and gave it to tyro. *please understand that tyro please * on the piece of paper tyro could see this < i know this sound crazy but i'm eddie, not just the bat but your best friend please believe me > tyro had some difficulty in reading this but when they did their eyes open wide. "w-what eddie ?!" tyro said looking up at eddie. He nod happily and turn around out of excitations. "b-but how!?"
