    Summary

    A collection of moments that bring Eddie and Steve together, starting with the instant everything went wrong, fixing that, and building up and exploring their relationship onward. Cut the drama, unnecessary love triangles, weird character regressions and most of all the unnecessary deaths. In this one the metalhead eventually gets to kiss the babysitter.

    "On one of the many nights Steve forgets his blue bomber jacket behind, Eddie feels brave enough to slip into it and, lightheaded from the smell of cologne, hair products, and a particular kind of warmth, pretends things could be easy for people like him."

    ......

    "He is learning to get used to Eddie's all-over-the-place attitude even though most times Steve refuses to debate if it means anything or nothing at all. But there it is again, that slight twist in his guts, and this time around he just follows it. He grins and winks back at the boy before turning around and letting the door close after him. That felt good. That felt right."
