Her overalls i love her so much!!

Sitting there beside them knowing this is what they think of my literal childhood

Robin has sensed this disturbance in the force from the band room but she can't do anything about it yet

"Yeah you'll definitely pass that test." He continues, like an idiot. But his higher level thinking kicks in with enough time to add, "But if you need to study again im here for you."

"Thanks, Eddie. Youre a good friend."

Eddie laughs he can't help it. Theres nothing good about it. "Anytime."

Steve regrettably sets him back on the ground. "Sorry. I should have warned you better."

He clears his throat. "No, its good. Youre good. That was good."

"Yeah?" Steve asks, unconcerned by Eddie's sudden failure to speak the English language.

Famous last fucking words.

If eddie weren't already in love, he would be in lust when his feet leave the floor. Steve's hands wrapped around his forearms, supporting Eddie's body weight against himself. And then tucking him against Steve's shapely hip.

"Fuck!"

"I dont think this part will be on the test, but they said we could do this as a solo carry. You're about the same size as some of the kids."

"You can say Wheeler," Eddie jokes.

"There are others. I just want to see if I can."

"Go for it."

"Can I try one more thing?" Steve asks, Eddies brain left the building somewhere between Steve wrapping his arms around his upper arms and whatever the move was where Steve had him wrapped in a strange sideways hug.

"Yeah," Eddie rasps. "Its an important test, right?"

"I'll be gentle. I just want to practice my hand placements."

Eddie doesnt think much about it until steve is manhandling him. Until arms are wrapped tight around him. Steves front pressed firm against his back and pulling him closer. His big hands wrapping around Eddie's bicep, his wrist.
