    Summary

    He knows Steve won’t hear him, and imagines that he won’t feel him, but he hops down from the roof and stands in front of him anyways, directly between Steve and their friends looking on, and wraps translucent arms around his shoulders. He hugs him the best he can, the way he should’ve when they split up for the battle that would eventually kill him.

    “I’m so sorry, Steve. I’m so, so sorry.”

    He doesn’t feel the warmth he knows he would’ve had he stuck to the plan and been brave enough to hug Steve in victory, rather than in mourning.

    Or, Eddie's van is left to rot in the woods and Eddie finds himself bound to it. As years pass, Steve never stops visiting.
