Summary
Robin says Eddie's a bull in a china shop, but Steve has seen the moments when Eddie is the most careful; when he's painting miniatures or strumming his guitar, Eddie is capable of stillness– and so Steve takes the clumsiness with a grain of salt. Most of it is bravado, because Eddie can't help but draw attention to himself.
Steve has learned it's a way to make people pay attention to him in a manner that overlooks actually perceiving him.
This way, people don't notice the fine tremor in his hands; or the occasional haunted look in his eyes; or the way he fidgets and self-soothes.
Steve, though-
Steve sees him.
