    Summary

    “Not sick, not sick,” he slurs, and Eddie wants to see his face, wants to hold it in his hands, wants to look him in the eye when he says, “just sad. Sad. Fuck… fuck, sad.”

    “Why are you sad, big guy?” Eddie asks.

    Steve laughs again, but it’s sharper this time, it doesn’t last as long, because as soon as the words slip out of his mouth—

    “My mom’s dead—”

    —it walks that treacherous line between the two sounds and morphs straight to a broken sort of sobbing that reaches directly into Eddie’s chest and drags out his heart.

    -

    A friends-with-benefits relationship goes complicated when who Steve and Eddie are to one another shifts with the coming of a new sort of tragedy.
