   Summary

   It was foolish of him to assume that with Vecna dead, life would return to normal.
   When a puppet had no hands to guide it, all it could do was fall.
   Thankfully, Steve's hands were already waiting to catch him.
   -
   Steve tilted his head, expression confused. “For you, of course? Well. For a lot of us. Me, too. But you, mostly.”
   [...] “For me,” Eddie echoed.
   [...] “Yeah. For you,” he agreed. “Focus, Eddie.”
   Eddie did as he bid. They sat there, quiet and tangled, one heart loud between them. Slowly, carefully, Eddie found it did help in a weird way. It reminded him, at the very least, that Steve was alive and safe in front of him. That there existed a person beyond the prison of Eddie’s still cage.
