“Eddie? Hey look at me, what is it? What’s going on?”

It’s Steve.

Eddie has to blink a few times to confirm that, yes, it is Steve Harrington standing outside his apartment building, it’s Steve Harrington’s hands holding his face, it’s Steve Harrington’s gaze bleeding concern behind his glasses.

“Those dickheads— I hit ‘em with— Oh fuck, my cane,” Eddie’s out of breath, looking around frantically but he must’ve dropped it when he took off.

“Where? In the alley?” Steve asks, squeezing Eddie’s shoulders when he nods, “Wait here.”

Eddie nods again, wildly, watching as Steve disappears behind the building. It doesn’t take long, enough for Eddie to catch his breath and somewhat recenter himself. Relieved, he watches Steve jog back around, cane in hand. Shit’s expensive, insurance only covers one, he couldn’t afford to lose it.

“They’re gone. You must’ve scared them off, champ.” Smiling to try and put Eddie at ease, Steve gives the cane a spin before handing it back to him. Eddie rebalances himself, but he still feels rattled.

“Don’t give me any reigning titles yet, man, all I did was high tail my ass out of there.”

“You whacked them pretty good with this thing first, even left a dent. You okay? Looks like they got you right here,” Steve’s touching him again, Eddie’s overly aware this time, the warmth of a hand on his cheek. The instinct to seek comfort takes over, he almost leans into it, but he flinches away instead, hissing when Steve’s thumb brushes a tender spot.
