   Summary

   Sequel to "Dirty Little Secret (I'll Keep You):

   The morning after hooking up for the first time, Steve is halfway to falling in love while Eddie is cold and withdrawn and unable to look Steve in the eye.

   The King of Hawkins High has to work had to convince Eddie that their date was real, that the note he left was nothing like the other humiliating, degrading notes the other boys leave in the locker when they want Eddie's mouth but don't give a damn about his heart.

   Steve cares so much-- maybe too much?-- about Eddie's heart and Eddie's smile and he's not about to let Eddie regret their night together. He wants another chance to treat Eddie RIGHT, and even if it takes an argument, a whole lot of alcohol and a stumbling, slurring shouted confession in the middle of the trailer park to talk Eddie into giving him another chance.
