( when eddie leans back, for a moment, steve finds that he just wants to follow. it's strange when eddie's not in his space now, not leaning in or touching him some way.
right now, there's no point at which they connect and steve finds himself noticing that. he wants to lean back into his arm, kinda wants to reach out and pull eddie close which is--- it's not new for eddie but new. in truth, steve goes through a lot of the motions with the girls he goes on dates with (or went on, he hasn't recently) but he never genuinely wants to reach out. not anymore.
he is still smiling as eddie falters and steve feels like he's won something, though he doesn't quite get what exactly but he likes that flicker in eddie's eyes. ) Okay. I'll be really good if you do. ( because if nothing, once he learns something, steve can be pretty focused on pulling the thread. )
