Summary
“Goddamn weirdo,” Tommy mutters under his breath, pocketing his keys.
“Yeah, yeah,” Eddie says, back to him. “I’m the freak, you’re the testosterone-drunk jock trying to prove to daddy you’re a big boy now. Bet that’s why you need so much attention, right? That why Steve left in the end, do you think?”
Tommy sees red.
(When stranded at a gas station, Tommy and Eddie talk.)

Summary
“Okay, fine. You win.” Which is a direct translation to those three important words, because Eddie hates losing. One of his top ten least favorite things in this world is losing.
He folds Steve’s fingers into a fist, kisses over every knuckle. Looks up to see Steve blinking slowly, half-asleep. Looks happy.
And damn, that makes it all worth it, right? Losing so Steve can win. That makes it tolerable, almost enjoyable, for a soft expression like that.
“I’ll do the non-garage garage sale.”
Steve yawns, nuzzles into his side of the pillow. “I knew you would.”- Language:

Summary
“Do you know you have, like, a trillion freckles on your face?” Steve asks right back, leaning in. His left hand winds itself around the strap of Eddie’s overalls, pulling him in too, and the right one catches Eddie’s jaw. It’s cold from his own lemonade glass, abandoned somewhere by his feet, and his thumb sweeps over the bridge of Eddie’s nose, the apples of his cheeks. Doubles back to tap the single freckle that sits right on the tip.
It’s true — Eddie does have freckles. Maybe not a trillion, but when the sun peeks out from behind the clouds like today and becomes a more permanent resident in the sky, those pesky little polka dots like to make their appearance, painting his face in faint faint dusting. They’re not obvious or anything; nobody really notices them unless they’re looking for them.
But that’s the thing about Steve. He’s always looking. Always seeing.
It’s why Eddie loves him so much.
It’s why — oh. He loves him.

Summary
There are so few stars in the sky this particular night that it feels like the Universe itself closes its eyes to give them privacy. It’s easier that way, when they feel alone and hidden even from the moon, to hold hands for the first time at the edge of the lake. To lean closer, and closer, until holding hands turns to holding each other, turns to a first kiss that feels like the only kiss. It’s quiet, and it’s soft, and they don’t talk about it. They don’t have to— this is what they’ve been hurtling towards since Eddie pinned him up against the wall of Rick’s with a shattered beer bottle.
---
Or, Eddie realizes life is precious, all the way down to the lives of worms.
