"Harrington I'm home!" His head turned around the corner of the living room before finding Steve sitting there wrapped in a blanket, tranced by whatever he was watching.

Eddie took off his shoes and jacket, laying it over the back of the couch and leaning himself over Steve, blocking his view. "Hi there." Eddie smiled down at him and leaned in for a soft kiss. "Hi." He could tell Steve was tired, and that he was most likely using the tv to keep him awake. Dumbass.

He sat down next to him and wrapped his arm around Steve's shoulder, pulling his body to him. The man immediately snuggled into him, wrapping his arms around Eddie's waist. "How was it?"

Eddie's hand came down to Steve's hair and he pet it softly, obviously in love with the man around him. "It was good- we had fun. Henderson got frustrated a couple times so it was definitely fun for me."

"That's good baby." He was falling asleep in Eddie's lap, but he didn't mind at all. Eddie got up slowly and locked the door- something Steve never does - and picked the man up, taking him to their room.

"Alright arms up." Steve lazily lifted his arms up and Eddie took both of their shirts off, putting his on the other man for him to sleep in. "Okay, lay down princess." He did, and Eddie gently took his jeans off and threw them on the floor next to him, taking his own off and covering them both in the blanket. "Good night love. I promise we'll talk soon." He kissed Steve's forehead and wrapped his arm around his waist, falling asleep moments later.

The alarm started going off and Steve just turned and smacked it, cuddling back into the man beside him. "On a scale of one to ten. How much will Robin hate me if I don't let you get out of bed?" The man that was wrapped around him was now stretching, showing off the little bit of tone he had. "I'd say about an eleven."

"Damn it. How much can you protect me from?" His hold around Steve's waist tightened and he kissed his chest gently, rubbing soft circles on his hip. "Maybe forty five percent of it." Eddie laughed and rolled off of him. "You better start getting ready then."

Steve laughed and got out of the bed, walking to the bathroom to take a quick shower. He put Eddie's shirt back on after brushing his teeth and wrapped a towel around his waist.

No movement seemed to be happening in his room and his confusion was resolved when he found his boyfriend still lying in bed. "What are you doing?" Eddie turned his head slightly to look at him and shoved his face back. "I'm laying down?"

He hopped into a new pair of boxers and sat on the bed next to Eddie. He felt his face with his hand and the man turned to look at him. "Obviously jackass. Do you feel okay? You're not sick are you?"

The worry in his voice made Eddie smile and he put his hand over top of the one on his cheek. "I'm okay Steve, I just had like- the best sleep I've had in a long time and I don't want to leave." He smiled back and stroked his thumb over his cheek, "best sleep you've had in a long time?" Eddie nodded, "yeah, I don't know what it was. Maybe you were right about the whole sleeping naked thing- and no I'm not naked so don't worry. Plus, I feel like you and I are moving in a good direction- or something I don't know. Everything just feels kind of right, I guess."

Steve leaned down and gave him a soft kiss, "I understand. But I also know that you're probably not doing that well at school, so I don't want you to be late. I saw how you acted- when I talked about graduation. You're gonna do it this year, I promise. But you won't if you don't get your ass up and move."

Steve got up and slipped into a pair of jeans and threw on a belt. "Here." Eddie was holding a shirt to him and he just stared at it. "I'm okay, I've already got one."

Eddie's face filled with shock as the words left his boyfriend's mouth. "But- you hate wearing clothes from the day before." Steve just shrugged his shoulders and grabbed a pair of shoes. "It's fine, not really that big of a deal. I have to come home and change anyways before work."

"But you slept in it."

Steve just laughed and pulled on his shoes, "be careful Munson, people might start to think we're spending to much time together. You're starting to sound like me." Eddie came over and sat next to him on the edge of the bed, throwing the vest on his lap. "Who are you and what have you done with my Steve?"

"Oh your Steve?" The two stood up and walked out of the room, Steve pulling on the vest over Eddie's shirt. "I mean- I don't own you but- I'd like to think of you as mine. You're my boyfriend." Steve just laughed and let Eddie put on his shoes and jacket, the two walking outside together. "Yeah, I guess I am."

"Thank you for sounding so happy about it." Steve rolled his eyes and wrapped his arms sweetly around Eddie's neck. "I think this is definitely the most peaceful morning we've had."

Eddie cleared his throat and looked at the ground, then the sky, then the trees. "Y-yeah well, I'm trying. Uh, you said you had work today right? I can come over and see you, or not I don't want to like- be up your ass all the time. I mean I do- but like. I don't want you to think I always need to be with you, I-I don't want to annoy you Harrington. Do you still want me to come over tonight? Or do you want to come to my trailer- we don't have to spend the night together, I was just-"

Steve lips were on his before he could finish rambling. "Y-yeah okay. I'm sorry for rambling. I really am trying love." Steve was just smiling, shaking his head in amusement. "I know- I know, you're doing great, really. Don't freak yourself out to much Munson, it'll ruin your bad boy image. We can stay at your trailer tonight- there's something about cigarette smoke and weed that really feels like home."

"Is that what I smell like?"

"No! That's- it's not a bad thing! You smell amazing- I love the way you smell. You're warm and yeah- you do smell slightly like weed- but it doesn't smell bad to me. If anyone else smelled like that I'd hate it, but it's you so- yeah."

"It's me?"

"You know what I mean asshole."

Eddie tightened his hold on Steve's hips, pulling him closer and laying a soft kiss to his lips. "Yeah I know, I feel the same way."

"Bad boy image?"

Steve threw his head back and laughed. "Oh yeah, for sure. Have you seen yourself?" Eddie smirked and rubbed his hips, "so you're into bad boys then Harrington?"

Steve played with the hair laying on Eddie's shoulder, "no, I'm not really into anyone." His eyebrows drew down and he stared into Steve's eyes. "Just you."

God, god, god- goddammit. Eddie could feel his stomach explode and now he was the one that wanted to throw up- in a good way of course. His eyes started to burn and he looked away from Steve, the hold on his hips tightening. "Y-yeah well I guess you're cool too, just. I'm got- I need to get to school. You're gonna be late- don't want Robin to kill me. Okay let's go!"

Steve laughed and pulled Eddie closer, wiping the tear falling down his cheek with his thumb. "I love you."

"God damn it I love you too." Eddie pulled Steve to him and their lips were locked together. Neither of them could help the gasp that left their mouths as the fireworks exploded inside their stomachs. Steve's hands found their way to the long curly hair and tugged at it, moving Eddie as close as he possibly could. "Fuck, okay come on. Please we need to go."

Steve smiled against his lips, "you really want to go to school that bad?" The man groaned, "I want to not fuck you before school- outside against a door.

"Fine fine, I'm sorry. I'll see you in a few minutes?" Eddie leaned in for a quick kiss, "of course." Both men could feel their bodies tingling as they walked to their cars, the kiss leaving them feeling euphoric- another different feeling for them to discover together.

Also for those that want to chat or anything like that-
