   Summary

   “You’re thinking too loud. Just relax.”

   Eddie melts against him, exhausted and pliant, inhaling the scent of Steve’s body wash. He sinks in, nose pressed against the crook of Steve’s neck, and breathes even, steady breaths that counterbalance the ragged desperate attempts from less than an hour ago.

   Something about Steve feels like home, and Eddie is only familiar with houses.

   ---

   Or, Eddie can't sleep after the events in the Upside Down. Steve happens to have a solution.
